Considerable amusement has been
occasioned In Washington by President
Wilson's probably unconscious iDdiet-
ment Of Democratic absentseism in
congress in a letter recently addressed
TO Chairman Doremus, of the Ma

mittee- The president says
"America expects every man TO do
his duty without thought Of profit or
advantage to himself. The record
men make seaks for himself. The
country cannot be deceived concern

Sweet Potatoes and How to Prepare Them

We know the sweet potato was in
use long before the common potato; we
can tell nothing of its origin, nor does
it grow wild in any country. Always,
il must be cultivated and it does best
in southern countries, though the we'll
known Jersey sweet" is a splendid
deep yellow variety.
We consider this tuber only veg
etable but in India it is preserved as a
sweetmeat in a clear. heavy syrup.
Japan makes sweet potato -four and
cakes baked from it are very good; not
unlike the American pumpkin bread of
two or three generations ago.
But when a food is delicious in its
own simple goodness, s4sweet potatoes
are, why should we want to change
their character or make them into any
thing they are not'
"Yams," these vegetables are called
in the south and though the name is
incorrectly applied, it has come to
mean very large and very sweet va
riety that seldom come far into the
northern market, more's the pity.
To initiate its incompatible flavor we
add sugar, honey or maple syrup to our
more starchy sweet potatoes when we
cook them; though this improves their
flavor, they are still inferior to the
southern article.
There are but three ways to cook
sweet potatoes according to the dictum

WOULD NOT GLORIFY WAR
Educator Tells Women's Clubs of
Militarism in Schools
To Be Continued


Pittsburgh, Oct. 14.-"The world
will not cease to have wars unless the
nations cease teaching school children
the bravery of soldiers and the glories
of battle, said DIR. a. Duncan Yocum,
professor of education In the Uniyer-
sity of Virginia, in an address to the
state Federation of Women S Clubs
here yesterday.
Whether the State Federation will
endorse woman S suffrage and thus fol-
low the national organization, is the
object of much discussion among the
delegates. 1t is believed strong efforts
will be made by suffrage adherents to
obtain endorsement at this meeting.
At the formal opening Of the con
vention last night. an address by Mrs.
Percy V. Penny hacker, of Austin, Tex,
president of the National Federation
of Wemen's Club, was listened to wit h
keen interest.
Mrs. Samuel Semple, of TitusviEe,
State president, in her annual report
reviewed her official acts. She reported
an addition of two county organiza-
tions and stated two more were being
organized Mrs. Semple said the club
women should find their inspiration for
next years work wherever they see
the need of their services.
Mrs. William Leverett read the re
port of the corresponding secretary and
said there had been an increase of SO
clubs to the State Federation during
the last year. The organization, the
report stated, now has 313 clubs and

The sweet potato cooked for the
Marster's table is very different from
that eaten in the cabin, but not any
more delicious. Marion's men lived on
sweet potatoes for weeks during the
Revolutionary war and when the Eng
lish general hunted out the Swamp
Fox" as they had named him, for a
parley he was asked to dine on the
same fare. Evidently he was not Il
lover of the vegetable for he reported
that "men who could live and fight ON
such diet could never be whipped"
Carameled sweet potatoes; boil them
in their jackets and skin, slice in length
and brown in butter sprinkle with su-
gar and place in hot oven until sugar
melts. Or put the potato slices in a
shallow dish that is well buttered and
sprinkle with melted butter mixed with
sugar and cook in the oven until
Drowned or carameled.
Potato pudding-Mash the boiled
sweet potato and add butter and cream.
Whip the mixture light and bake until
brown over the top in dish it can be
served in. Most recipes for this call for
eggs, but they are not needed as the
potato is sufficiently rich
Either of the above dishes are much
relished with pork roasts and with all
