Only for BouilIOn


 This is my first letter to the Corner, although I am a daily reader and get many useful and helpful hints from it. My query is in regard to bouillon spoons 1 have had nice set given to me and am wondering if they may be used with all kinds of soup, other than bouillon. 1 am sending recipe for preparation which l ind is wonderful help in keeping the hands smooth and soft and free from chaps especially in cold weather I al- ways keep it on hand. and apply it freely to hands and face, too, if it is inclined to chap or roughen after washing and wip- ing dry. One tablespoon quince seed, one of water (preferably soft water); let it stand on the stove until the water gets thick, then strain through cloth. Add four ounces of glycerin and cents worth of rosewater. How many Cornerites know that to remove the dark streak on the neck, which is so often caused by wearing high collars, one needs only to apply clear ether, after the neck has been washed with soap and water Care must be taken to wash off all the ether after few minutes, as it is apt to irritate the skin. Ml-.S. N. e. extended to you most cordially, and the door of the Corner is always ajar for you when you will enter. The boulnon spoons, being smaller than those used in taking soup from plates, are reserved for liquids served in cups. have never seen them laid by soup plates, but they are convenient and pretty used with bouillon cups.

Tired of Hearing About Kansas

The Horse Editor is tired Of
these oily-tongued agitators who
"butt in" to Missouri pulpits
with lectures which disparage ev-
erything in Missouri, and play up
Kansas as the promised land.
There is a more patriotic way of
promoting the cause of Prohibi-
ton. Missouri manufactures
more goods in a month than Kan
sas makes in a year. Six Mis-
souri, counties raise more corn
than all the counties of Kansas
combined. The money Missouri
annually spends for the cause of
education would bankrupt Kan
sas the first rattle out of the
box Nobody denies that Mis-
souri, has more men in Jail than
Kansas. 1t is because Missouri
has twice the population, with
two big cities which are settling
basins for criminals from Kansas
and other cityless states. Nobody
denies that Missouri has more
county jais than Kansas has. 1t
is because a third Of the Kansas
counties haven't male citizens
enough to build a Jail. to say
nothing about men to occupy it.
Missouri has more churches than
Kansas, more colleges than Kan
sas, more newspapers, banks and
factories than Kansas, more peo-
pie who own their homes, more of
everything else that makes COM
monwealth rank high in the gall

Diplomatic Break Due with
Austria.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Ambass-
ador Penfield in Vienna notified
the state department today he
had delivered it's note to the Aus
trian foreign office, protesting on
the sinking of the Ancona last
Thursday. Secretary Lansing
announced receipt Of Ambassador
Penfield cable and added that
the note would be made public
here Monday morning.
The critical relations of this
country with Austria were be-
lieved to be rapidly approaching
a climax today. The note calls
for immediate disavowal repara-
ton and a promise that hereafter
Austrian submarine commanders
will observe international law.
Secretary Lansing refused to
discuss what Ambassador PEN
field said in regard to the notes
reception. Other officials esti-
mated, however, that the Aus
trian government is seriously con-
cerned over the general tone of
the note. It is understood that
Ambassador Penfield cabled that
the Ancona note will be made the
subject of a cabinet conference
Immediately.
Officials maintain the belief
that diplomatic break at the least,
will be hard to avoid. They expect
Austria strongly to defend the ac-
tions of her submarine command
er on the ground that he gave ann
pie time to all to get off the liner
before he torpedoed her. In such
event the president may recall
Ambassador Penfield.
