SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just a Few Reasons Why Thero
Should Be an Advance in Price
of Summer Necessity.

The ice trust having offered a silver
loving-cup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price of ice after the cold winter, we
hopefully submit the following:
l. The ice being SO thick and heavy,
it costs more to handle it,
2. The blocks are so large that there
is great waste in cutting them up for
the retail trade.
8. The ice is so cold it freezes solid
in the storage houses and is very diff.
cult to get out
4. AS the winter has been so cold.
the summer will necessarily be very
hot, and the demand for ice very
great, SO that it is doubtful If there
will be enough to go around.
5. The Ice being extra thick, extra
cold, and extra quality all through, it
is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded.
6. The price Of ice never had any
relation to the cost of production, any
how Life.

AGAINST W0MEN'S POCKETS
New York Newspaper Gives Eight
Reasons for Its Opposition to
Proposed Move.

l. Because pockets are not natural
right.
2. Because the great majority Of
women do not want pockets. If they
did, they would have them.
8. Because whenever women have
had pockets they have not used them.
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as it is without
the additional burden Of pockets.
5. Because 1t would make dissension
between husband and wife as to whose
pockets were to be filled
6. Because 1t would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman If he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.
Z. Because men are men and women
the women. We must not fly In the
face of nature.
8. Because pockets have been used
by men to carry tobacco, pipes, whisky
TASKS, chewing gum and compromis-
ing letters. We see no reason to sup
pose that women would use them
more wisely.-New York Tribune

Followed Her Vanished Nest.

This story of a thrush that missed.
and caught its train comes from Lima
vady, in Ulster, Ireland The bird had
built its nest under a frst-class car
riage Immediately over the steam heat
ing pipe, and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between imavady
and Londonderry, the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution of the summer serv-
ice Of trains caused trouble. The car
riage left Londonderry in the evening
at 4:40 instead of 1850, and when the
mother thrush, who had presumably
besn on a foraging expedition, re-
turned, she found carriage, nest and
eggs had disappeared. She was no.
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and the station master appraised
Limavady of the circumstances and
asked the railway people there to look
out for the bird, suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima
vady either by train or air and re-
sumed her task of Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching Of
the eggs.

NJ GOVERN OUT FOR
j. s. SENATORSH|P
CHIEF STATE EXECUTIVE AN
NOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY
IN STATEMENT.
OPPOSES PRESENT TARIFF
Governor Declares Present Law Has
Failed to Reduce Cost of Living
ravors Regulation of Markets.

Madison.-Gov. Francis e. Mellow
erh has issued statement formally
announcing his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination as United States
Senator from Wisconsin, and his nomi-
nation papers are in the field for cir
cajation and signatures.
The governor in the statement points
to his official record in lieu of prom
ises or a platform declaration. He
says further:
For years | have advocated down
ward revision of the tariff; but | do
not approve the present law. Alike in
the manner in which it was enacted,
its failure to reduce the cost of living
and its harmful effect upon industry
and agriculture in Wisconsin, it seems
to me to be fairly open to serious
criticism Unlike it's authors, | be
lieve in protective tariff, one that,
while discouraging monopoly, will
safeguard the interests of American
producers and consumers by means of
import duties accurately and honestly
adjusted to cover the difference in the
cost Of production here and abroad,
and SO tend to equalize conditions of
competition between this country and
other nations. Had the recent revision
been in conformity with these princi-
pies and had it been based upon in
formation furnished by a scientific
non partisan commission, willing la
Dor would not lack employment as it
does today, the price of farm produce
would not have declined, nor would
the tide of industry here and every
where in the country be at its present
low ebb.
Il favor a reorganization Of present
methods of distribution, especially OF
food products. How to increase pros
perity on the farm, to reduce the cost
of living and to eliminate trust abuses
are not three problems, but one. Prop
er regulation of markets so as to
transfer control of them from the
hands of unconscionable speculatVrs
to the people themselves will go a
long way toward a just and satistac-
tory solution BY this means the price
of farm products may be increased,
the cost of living reduced and the
business of the retail dealer improved.
The problem is the same in state and
nation"

brook, of Milwaukee, are also avowed

COOKING FLAVORS
FROM FLOWERS
BY EVA RYMAN GAILLARD.


The use OF nassurtium seed-pods for
giving . specica flavor to mixed
pickles, or In caper sauce has become
quite general ana few housewives
know that either the leaves or flower
petals, make a delicious filling for
sandwiches
Roses, too, are coming into favor
not alone for their flavor but for their
coloring matter as well. Jelly made
from the green varieties Of gooseber-
rtes is as good as that made from the
red varieties, but does not look good
because Of its peculiar color-or lack
of 1t. A handful of pink rose petals.
cooked with the berries before strain
ing, will Agive a pink tint that adds
materially to both flavor and color.
II small roll of butter Is placed
In dish with rose petals over and all
around 1t and then closely covered, the
butter will absorb the rose flavor to a
degree that makes it extra fine for
spreading sandwiches-of the dainty
kind. If couple of fine, large petals
be placed In the sandwich with the
edges just showing between the bread
slices the effect is very appetizing.
Place a handful of rose petals with
cupful OF fine granulated sugar and
slightly bruise them. Then add a lit
tie water and simmer until thick. The
result will be equal to delicious rose
honey.
In using roses three things must be
remembered: Don't use those that
have been sprayed with poison-select
the very fragrant varieties-use the
petals while fresh and full of the prop
critics that hold fragrance.
Violets of the fragrant varieties and
other flowers may be used in these
same ways; and the Chinese use
chrysanthemums, carnations and vari-
Gus flowers with stronger fiavors in
many ways. often using a little of
the foliage (inely choppedD with the
flowers.
Dropping rose-geranium leaf in the
bottom Of a jelly-glass and pouring the
hot jelly over it Is not uncommon
practise, but comparatively few cooks
know that four or five leaves in the
bottom Of a cake pan will flavor the
cake. The leaves should be we'll
buttered to prevent them from ris-
ing In the batter
While speaking of leaves it may be
said that two or three cherry-leaves
laid over the rhubarb in pie will en-
tirely change the flavor. In baked
rhubarb for sauce the effect Is equally
good, and the hint is worth remem-
bering when the family tire of the
rhubarb.
