Asks for Humanity

"The inspiring thing about Amer
ica,'' the President asserted, lis that
she asks nothing for herself except
what she has a right to ask for hui
mainly itself. We want no nations
property; we wish to question no ma
tons honor; we wish to stand self
ishly in the way Of the development Of
no nation. It is not preten-
sion on our part to say that we are
privileged to stand for what every ma
ton would wish to stand for and
speaking for those things which all
humanity must desire
Force Of Moral Principle
The spirit which brooded over the
river today, said the President, was
Just a solemn evidence that the force
Of America is the force Of moral prin-
ciple; that there is not anything else
she loves and that there is not any
thing else for which she will contend"
The President took occasion in his
speech to pay tribute to Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels, who sat beside him.
Although the day was damp and
chilly. with occasional downpours Of
rain, the weather did not abate the
enthusiasm with which New York
greeted the head Of the nation.
Reviews Parade Of 5000
In the forenoon he reviewed a pa
rade OF 5000 sailors and marines from
the battleships and from the moment
he set foot upon shore until after the
luncheon when he returned to the
Mayfiower to review the fleet his pro-
gress through the streets was q con-
tinuous ovation, remarked upon by
those who accompanied him as the
since the Presidents Inauguration. He
was plainly touched by the welcome
accorded him.
Everywhere the spirit OF patriotism
was in view.
The President boarded his yacht at
3 o'clock for the review after a quick
trip from the Hotel Biltmore, where
the luncheon was held.

A half hour was spent in receiving
official visits from the flag officers and
the captains Of the feet, and then the

FOR USE IN THE LAUNDRY
an Alkali-Excellent for Disin-
fecting Clothing.

The best laundry soap (made of
fat and an alkali) is, during the pro-
cess of making, kneaded like dough.
This admits air into the soap and
causes it to float; when hardened.
A soap that floats dissolves easily u,
water and is excellent for disinfect-
ing purposes. The alkali and the
salts of the fat acids combine with
the water and this solution readily
penetrates porous substances and adj
heres to solid surfaces, killing any
fully developed bacteria that it touch
eS.
Such a soap solution cobined with
boiling water is invaluable for disin-
fecting clothing from the sick room,
where there has been an infectious
disease. Pour the boiling water and
soap solution down the pipes of the
kitchen sink and the bathroom con-
nections. Use it nice a week at least
for cleansing the garbage receptacle.
The solution may be used for disin-
fecting floors. Have one pail of the
soap and water and another of clean
hot water. Scrub. the floor and base
board with a stiff brush dipped in Une
soap and water, rinsing the brush
carefully in the hot water after each
application.-Today's Magazine.

not rub it. Then dust the redeemed
places with a powder composed of
three parts of cornstarch and one
of boric sifted together.
Keep the baby out of doors as
much as possible, except when the
outside aid is hotter than that in
doors. A screened porch is equiva-
lent to an additional room. On it
the baby, as well as the other men,
bers of the family, may practically
live by day, and in many cases by
night as well. Here he will be pro-
tected from his great enemy, the fly,
that carries disease germs about. 1t
also makes a safe place to leave the
baby while the mother is busy in
doors.
A play pen on the clean grass I'M
der a shady tree will afford the baby
many an hour of happiness and re-
lieve the mother of worry as to his
safety. A blanket or rug, or carpet
of newspapers may be spread on the
grass in the bottom of the pen so
that the baby will not find stones and
sticks to put into his mouth.
Indoors the coolest room should be
chosen for the baby. Do not be
afraid of fresh air. This is the only
kind the baby should know anything
about. Open all the windows at
night. Night air is just as good as
day air and perhaps better, because
it may have been cooled and cleansed
by the dew,

MAYoNNAIsE EASY TO MAKE
Popular Dressing Has Wrongly Been
Considered Too Difficult for the
Busy Cook.

The making of mayonnaise dress
ing "a formerly regarded as a very
troublesome affair. Exceptional
cooks or housewives, it is true, would
assert that it was no trouble, once the
knack was acquired; but as a rule it
was not a popular dressing with busy
cooks.
The reason was not far to seek.
In the first place, tradition held that
if mayonnaise dressing curdled it
must be thrown out and a new mix
ture started; and, as it often curdles,
this was not a cheerful prospect to
face when time was short. In the
good mayonnaise could be made only
by adding the oil drop by drop-a
lengthy and Troublesome process.
Tradition in both instances was
wrong. If the mayonnaise curdles,
an egg yolk should be broken into a
clean bowl and beaten thoroughly and
the curdled mixture added to this
drop. In this way the mayonnaise
will be recovered.
The three minute mixture that
saves the tedious drop-by-drop pro-
cess is made as follows:
Measure out the salt and mustard
into a bowl and add a whole egg,
both yolk and white. Beat this mix
ture thoroughly and then add one
third of a cupful of oil, all at once.
Beat this until it begins to thicken,
then add another third of a cupful
of oil. This makes a fairly thin may
onnaise. If a thicker one is desired
more oil must be added, making a
cupful of oil in all; beat until very
stiff, then set the bowl on ice until
the dressing is wanted.
Mayonnaise made by this process is
less likely to curdle than that made
in the old way, and the mixture is
quite as good.
A bowl or jar of mayonnaise will
keep for some time if put in the re-
~frigerator, and it is very useful to
have on hand. 1t is we'll to remem-
Der, too, that a ~mayonnaise can Se
transformed into a tartare sauce by
the addition of chopped gherkins and
capers. Therefore it is economy in
time so to plan your menus that a
fish dish served with a tartare sauce
is followed the next day by a salad
requiring a mayonnaise dressing, or
vice versa.

Too Much Silage Fatal

ninety, that belong to a Kay
county farmer, says the Okla

where he conducted the eXamin-

silage for several months and the
mules, to the eye, looked in fine
condition. but recently some Of
them became afflicted with an
unknown malady. They would
get down and would be unable
to get up and then only when
prodded and were visibly in great
pain. The only external indica-
ton of any sickness. was the
heavy throbbing of the arteries
in the throat which indicated the
trouble was in the heart. Sew
eral expert veterinarians We're
called and a %postmortem examin-
alton made. Vital organs We're
found to be one and one half
times as large as normal. jnclud-
ing the heart, spleen, liver and
kidneys. The examination show
ed that the stock had been over
fed on corn silage and alfalfa,
having been on this ration for
several months. While it is
known that cattle have died from
silage high in grain, this was
the first time it has been fatal to
equine animals.

MONTANA CATTLE
ARE BEST OF ALL
Declares E. J. Iddings, Dean of
Animal Husbandry of
Idaho College

Not only can Montana show her
heels to the world in things agri-
cultural, but she is also there like
a thousand dollar bill when it
comes to livestock.
At least that is the declaration
of E. j. Iddings, dean of agricul-
ture and professor Of animal hus-
bandry of the Idaho State COL
lege. Mr.. 1ddings was in Helena
yesterday on his way to Moscow,
after inspecting conditions of this
state.
Some idea of what We think
Of Montana stock can be gained
when it is known that we came to
this state when we were looking
for the purest bred stock obtain
able," said Mr., Iddlngs at the
Placer last evening. Down at
San Francisco Montana opened
the eyes of the entire world by
it's magnificent showing of grains
and grasses, but the peopl e
throughout the northwest have
long known Montana to excel all
other states in the growing OF
high class stock.
Last January | came to Mon
tana and purchased two Aberdeen
Angus COWS from the Sun River
Stock and Cattle company to ado
to our stock at the state college.
These Angus have been prize
winners at every show they have
been exhibited and my trip to
Montana at this time was for the
purpose Of adding tc our stock Of
pure bred cattle. | have about
completed negotiations for the
purchase of two more from this
same company and have already
purchased one from the A. B.
Cook stock farm at Townsend"
Mr.. Iddings stated that stock
now owned by the state college
in Idaho which had been pur.
chased in this state had proven
superior to all that had been sc.
cured by them and they will come
to Montana hereafter when seek
ing the best grade of stock.
MI. 1ddings was asked to of
fciate as one of the stock judges
at the Montana state fair, hu'
unfortunately could not find time
to act in that capacity during
September. He left last nigh
for Moscow. = Helena Indepen
