QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

'Is it a good plan to warm butter for
cake baking in preference to creaming
it! Some of my friends think l am too
particular about making it creamy.
Bride"
Reply.-One can hardly be too par
ticular about baking a nice cake and it
does not take very long for the cream
ing process. You can shorten the work
by heating the mixing bowl little
but do not heat the butter until it
runs.
Please tell me what is meant by
cooking en- casserole. Bee"
Reply.-Anything cooked in an
earthen ware dish with cover may be
said to be so cooked. A casserole is a
covered baking dish. This method of
cooking is VERY good and well worth
your attention.

Quarantine Is Raised In State

Instructions were issued Monday by
A. d. Melvin, chief of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry, which will tend to
relieve the situation in this state caus-
ed by the cattle disease. The quaran-
tine occasioned by the foot and mouth
disease has been lifted in the various
counties with the exception Of Fred
erlck and Baltimore counties and Bal
timore city, but in Baltimore county
all portions outside a three mile rad
Jus OF infected premises were put in
the restricted area.
While the change from closed to re-
strlcted area materially benefits condi-
tons IN Baltimore county, DR.. Hick-
man plans to have the quarantine
lifted from every part of the State by
June l. Infections. due to the reap
pearance of the disease, have occurred
in Baltimore and Frederick counties
during the past few weeks and the
quarantine regulations require that
injected sections remain closed for a
stated period. This period will expire
for the infected farms in Baltimore
and Frederick counties during the lat
ter part of this month.
At least some part of Maryland has
beer. under federal quarantine since
last fall, when the foot -and-mouth
disease first appeared in the State.
Several times when the State officials
believed the infectious sources had
been destroyed, the disease reappear-
ed. This was notably true in Baltimore
city and in connection with the local
stockyards, which were Closed for
short periods.
Split-hoof live stock to the value of
more than $4,000 was slaughtered by
the state and government veterinar-
ians and the carcasses were buried in
quick lime at the points of infection.
The federal government paid half the
assessed value of each animal, while
the state obligated itself for the other
half. approximately $4,000 is now
due catteoWners of Maryland from
the state, and this amount will! have
to be appropriated by the next Gen
eral Assembly, as no state funds are
now available for the reimbursement.
Coincident with the lifting of the
quarantine in Maryland the govern
ment has relieved conditions in -
other states, the changes being for the
most part in each case in few coun-
ties alone. The entire state of Della
ware is now declared clean and free
area; five counties of Pennsylvania
are made restricted or modified areas;
the bulk of Frederick county, Va, is
made restricted area and the bulk of
Jefferson county. w. Va, is made re-
stricted area.

THE GUBERNATORIAL SITUA-
TION.

THE time is rapidly approaching
when the gubernatorial situation
should earnestly engage the atten-
ton of those who are sincerely inter
ested in the States welfare. While
the politicians are playing their vari
Gus hands in what they regard as
simply political game" the
thoughtful citizen of this State real
ICES that the time has come when it is
of imperative Importance that Mary
land should secure a Chief Executive
of sound business judgment, of some
considerable experience in handling
public affairs, and of sufficient intel
lectual acumen and moral courage to
grapple man-wise with the charging
problems and diversified interests of
our commonwealth. We are facing
some pretty serious problems in this
State; We are being called upon to
handle some pretty delicate situations.
1t is mans job to be Governor of
Maryland today-that is to be a Gov
ernor that counts. The little schemes
of the politicians seem nothing short
of disgusting (might we say traitor
ous?) when compared with the vital
Importance of the States securing a
capable and efficient Executive. In
deed we are prepared to go further
and aver that party loyalty and zeal
must take second place in the thought
of every good citizen as compared
with the determination to do all that
in him lies toward securing for the
State the best possible Executive. This
position seems to us so sound and
patriotic that we have no hesitancy in
t.orc al aI IL from tha tp,,D
We want especially to lay it upon the
heart of our own party in Maryland.
1t is not essential that the next Gov
ernor of Maryland should be Re-
publican or a Democrat. But it is es-
sentiai that he should be equipped for
the job; and while our fellow Repub-
licans are prospecting for a candidate,
let them remember that their high
duty to their party, aye their higher
duty to their State. demands the Eomi-
nation of man whose undoubted fit
ness would properly command sup
port.
We do not anticipate primary
contest for the Republican nomna-
ton. In fact, the very situation of
the party in this State makes, in our
Judgment, such a contest unWiSe and
undesirable. What we rather antici-
pate is that the sentiment of the
party will so evidently crystalline
about some possible candidate as to
make his nomination assured. Hence
our belief that now, right now, is the
time to sound no uncertain note; the
time to talk straight out and to say
fiat-footedlY that no make-Shift nomi-
nation viii do. This State needs at

LOOK OUT FOR PNEUMONIA

The prevention of pneumonia is one
of the subjects that cannot too often
be discussed.
The first thing to remember is that
pneumonia is not caused by cold wea-
Their, but in spite of it. That it is the
most prevalent and the most fatal of
winter diseases is due to the fact that
the resisting power of many people is
reduced by winter. Pneumonia is
reduced by winter. Pneumonia is
transmitted by germ. This germ is
powerless to affect normal healthy
people. But when it attacks a person
whose vitality is below normal-whe-
Their from imprudent living, from ov-
erwork, loss of sleep, worry, lack of
exercise or lack of fresh ART is
capable of incalcuable harm,
Bodily fitness is the surest safe
guard against pneumonia, and to at
tain bodily fitness one must have the
proper nourishment, exercise and the
fresh air, and must avoid excuses of
all kinds. People who coddle them
selves indoors, keeping warm at the
expense of fresh air, gradually reduce
the resisting power. Statistics show
that this error is very common one,
as every cold spell is followed by a
rapid increase of pneumonia cases.

WOMAN WONT QUIT
Man Named as Postmaster at Bruno
Complains that Woman Just
Wont Resign.

Bruno, Mimi, Feb. 10.-A fine job
as postmaster awaits c. F. Flynn of
this village just as soon as his pre-
decessor, Mrs. N. A. Williams, con-
sents to close up shop and relinquish
the incumbency. But the postmistress
isn't in hurry. She hasn't resigned,
and she doesn't understand what
right the government has to pick out
a successor until she does. A number
of citizens here, who rather like the
idea of getting newspapers and yours
of the blank inst" doled out by a
postmistress, have rallied round the
general delivery window to her sup
port.
With the idea of exercising his new
duties, Mr.. Flynn, bearing his hopes
and his commission, visited the post
office yesterday. In the reception he
received, he realized that there wasn't
even souvenir postal card for him.
He didn't even get any chance to toss
missives into pigeonholes or hold a
tete-a-tete converse with patrons OF
wrestle mail sacks because Mrs. Will
liams was busy on the job and init
mated that she didn't need any help.
He was about as welcome as a first
of-the-month bill.
After lingering forlorn in the lobby
awhile, he left the postoffice. He COM
planned today to Rush D. Simmons,
St. Paul, chief of the postoffice de-
partment inspectors for the district.
"I was appointed to the postoffice,
Nov. 25," said Mr.. Flynn. ~ received
my commission recently and went to
take over the postoffice affairs the
other day, when I found Mrs. Will
