DUAL FIGHT ON WoRKMEN'S

The campaign of misrepresentation
that has been made against the pres
ent state administration dates back to
the time that the general assembly en-
acted Il wOrkmen's compensation aci
that speedily provided sufficient com
pensation to sufferers from Industrial
accidents, instead of q law that would
enable liability insurance companies t.
earn big dividends. The companies
raised yellow dog" fund to manu-
facture opposition to other measure
for trading purposes and the reaction.
airy Republican state executive com.
mittee proved ready ally.
That workmens compensation acl
which caused all the rumpus has been
in operation several months: 1t hasn't
been money maker for liability in
surance companies and it has not giver
much political capital for the standpat

WOMEN IN CHICAGO PRIMARIES

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 233Seldom In the
history of Chicago has so much inter-
est been aroused in a political cleo
tion as is now manifested in the alder
manic primaries to be held tomorrow,
when nominations will be made by
the various parties for one alderman
in each Of the thirty-five wards. The
unusual interest arises from the fact
that the primaries will afford the wo-
men their first opportunity to exer-
else the franchise given them under
the suffrage law. Politicians have no
way in which to estimate the division
of the women's vote among parties
and factions and consequently there
are more wards than usual in which
the results of the primary fights are
in doubt. The situation is further
complicated by the fact that several
women are contesting for aldermanic
nominations.

CURRENCY
To Be Issued Under The

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 23-To meet
the demands of the new currency sys-
EN- now being organized by the feder-
al reserve bank organization commit
Zee, new designs are being made by
the engravers of the national bureau
Of printing and engraving, for new
issue of paper currency,
Three characters of paper currency
are contemplated-the federal reserve

issue as the circulation currency of
the reserve banks and the national
bank notes which are to replace the
circulation Of national banks that do
not cancel their present circulation
but which take advantage of all or
part of the twenty-year period for
the retirement of all national circula-
ton.
The notes will be in denominations
of SIS, $40, $40 and $50 up, the three
characters of currency to be similar in
every respect except for the engraved
designation of the character in words,
such as Federal Reserve Currency"
Federal Bank Currency" and INA
tional Bank Currency" with other de-
scriptive matter of necessary char
acter.
No official approval has been yet
given for any of the designs submit
ted AS the new currency will not be
required for possibly year, the en-
gravers are given an opportunity of
doing their best work. The artistic
merit of the designs submitted has
been highly commended by treasury
officials and the official sanction of
Secretary McAdOo will decide their
fate.

One of the many minor inventions
that are so useful In the kitchen is the
kettle spoon holder designed by u Mas
sachusetts man and shown In the IL
lustration. 1t obviates the necessity OF
having a saucer, plate or cup standing
near the cook to hold the stirring spoon
when the latter is not in use. Tile
holder is made of aluminium and con
sists of saucer shaped piece with Oer
fOrations and hook by which 1t may
be hung over the edge of kettle. the
wide portion inside. Then as the spoon
is taken from the food 1t can be laid
on the holder. and the drippings DROP
through the perforations into the con
tents of the kettle. Another advantage
of the holder is the fact that the spoon
Is always at hand when wanted.

The discussion Of ways to boil ham
may seem to some entirely superfuous
yet have you never noticed that some
hams retain that rich red color and
perfect taste. while others have u

apart? This difference lies in the mdn
ner of boiling. A good ham put on In
cold water and cooked slowly, or al

cooking will lose much of its nutrition.
The proper way to cook ham Is to

should not boil vigorously. For every
pound of ham let 1t boil a quarter OF
an hour. Thus sixteen pound ham
would require four hours 10 properly
cook. When put in hot water the out
er layers of meat are cooked nj once
thus preventing the escape of juices
which will take place in cold water.
