The Misses Penfeld were quite we'll
to do, and quite alone in the world.
Miss Lizzie was forty, if she was a
day. Miss Mary confessed to thirty
two, but even the sweetest of women
may be pardoned for deducting year
or so after passing the thirtieth mile
stone. They were the only daughters,
the only children of Square" Pentleld
of Bodminton, New England. Once
the family had played prominent
part in New England's public life; but
with the growth of the industrial sys-
tenn and the fading out of the old ways
of life they had become more and more
isolated. After their fathers death
they were more or less 'hermits," as
Miss Mary ruefully declared.
All the village respected the two
maiden ladies, but somehow they
seemed an anachronism, a survival OF
other times in the hustlng commercial
times of the twentieth. century.
Two months before Miss Nary, who
subscribed to an English newspaper
containing a good deal of literary mat
ter, had seen an advertisement.
1t stated that one shilling, or quar-
ter, would purchase a pound OF to-
bacco, a box of matches and 80 clga-
rettes for one soldier in the trenches
in Belgium. The sender's name was
to be placed upon the package.
I'D like to send shilling for one
of the poor fellows" said Miss Mary.
"But wouldn't it be a little-forward,
my dear?" inquired prudent Miss Liz
Zie.
Not in time of war, DEAR answered
Miss Mary.
With many searchings Of heart the
ladies embarked on their daring enter
prise. and in due course box went

Houshead Cheese.

Use the head, tongue, feet and 9th
err pieces, which should be thoroughly
cleaned and soaked in water before be-
ing cooked Boil the pieces until the
meat slips from the bones easily. Chop
up the cooked (boiled) pork, season
with salt, black pepper, sage or sweet
marioram; a little cloves, if liked, may
be added. Mix we'll together and put
in board covered with clean white
cloth to fit inside of tin, and on top
a weight of some kind. Allow to re-
main for two days untouched. Then
turn out and it is ready for using.
Suitable for supper sliced.

Cheap Clothes Hamper.

Get a cardboard box at the depart
ment store, that which Berlin kettles
come packed in.
Stand it on end, and if there is no
cover one can be easily made. Cover
it with wallpaper that you happen to
have, or cretonne, and you will have
a nice light clothes hamper, and it
holds a good-sized Monday wash.

Lamb Flank Roasts.

Buy two pieces of lamb TANKS,
which will weigh about three pounds
and cost from five to eight cents a
pound Make bread dressing, as for
chicken. Place four or five pieces Of
Irvine on the table and lay one piece
Of flank on the Irvine, spread the
dressing over the meat and place the
other on top, then tie each piece of
Irvine around the whole to keep them
together and hold in shape. Put in
the roasting pan, salt and dredge with
-four. Bake two hours. This makes
a very pretty and delicious roast, large
enough for six people, and also excel
lent cold.

Garfield Calls For
Progressive Nominee

last November, it is believed that the
party holds the balance of power be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats
and in case of bad candidates on both
the Republican and Democratic tick
cts, might easily win against both.
Regular Repubicanism in Ohio has
lost its popularity since the election
of former Congressman Willis as
governor Willis has proved as a sad
disappointment. His name, it will be
noted, no longer figures as Ohio's
"favorite son" candidate for the
presidency. He has done what the
liquor interests wanted done, namely,
by decentralizing saloon control he
has made possible the return of local
option and wide-open policy. He has
ravaged the public service to get jobs
for deserving Republicans; he has
played in with a reactionary legisla
ture and done all in his power to null
lily the good laws passed by previous
administrations.
And he has not ushered in the era
of prosperity he promised on every
street corner during the campaign.
1t is no wonder the Progressives
can't see their way to fall into line
with Republican show like that.
Burton, meantime, is enjoying a
lovely prospect as presidential candi-
date. "Doc" Herrick has been laughed
out of the race, and the Republican
standpats are agreed to stand pat be-
hind Burton and his ia votes for the
Aldrich tariff bill. Word comes from
New York that Burton is looked upon
with favor by Winthrop Murray
Crane, William Barnes, ct al, and in
case the great Root is pro-
nounced too old or is, for any other
reason, discarded, Burton is favorite
for second choice.
In a presidential race between Wood
row Wilson, Theodore E. Burton and
Hiram Johnson, who would win?

Bv gibson CtRDNER.

Mentor, O., July 27.--"The Repub-
licans in Ohio have made it possible
for the Progressives to come back"
James r. Garfield so concluded a
long and careful review of the polit-
ical situation in Ohio.
"And the same appears to be true
as to the presidency" he added. "The
so-called national leaders of the Re-
publican party-the men who took the
nomination for Taft at Chicago -four
years ago-are evidently determined
to follow a political course as unen-
that occasion. They are still blindly
reactionary. They are planning the
nomination of candidates whom no
Progressive could, by any possibility,
support-men like Root, Weeks or our
Mr.. Burton of Ohio; and they are plan
ming platforms which are as reaction
airy as their candidates.
81 am therefore hoping and expect
ing to see the nomination by the Pro-
gressives of some good strong man
for governor here in Ohi,, and of a
man like Roosevelt or Governor John
son of California for president.
at is futile to talk of going back
to a party whose governing spirits are
William Barnes of New York, Boies
Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Win
throp Murray Crane of Massachusetts.
1t is equally futile to talk of support
my such nominees as Elihu Root, John
w. Weeks, Charles w. Fairbanks or
Theodore f. Burton. These men are
without even suggestions of Progress
sive leanings, and there is not even a
hint of the possibility that the old
guard might be willing to compromise
on some candidate less reactionary
than those named. 1t would seem that
the four million votes cast by the
Progressive party in the last presi-
dental election made no impression
ON the Republican managers. The
same protest against reaction made
in that election will have to be re-
peated.'
The Progressive party in this state
is completely organized and find that
the opinion expressed by Garfield is
held generally by the party's leaders
In spite of the fact that the Progress
sives cast only per cent Of the vote

ATTORNEY SEYMOUR
is CITY RECORDER

Attorney J. F. Seymour, city re
corder during the absence of City Re-
corder r. B. Whitelaw, performed the
first official act of his office yester-
day when he imposed a suspended
sentence of 80 days upon George Ed
wards, negro living on the East
Side, and his wife, Mrs. Cornelius Ed
wards. The city recorder this morn
ing diagnosed the difficulty of the
twain as a plain family squabble.
Wednesday, Mrs. Edwards appeared
before Recorder Whitelaw and com
planned that her husband had "beat
her up On the strength of the wo-
mans testimony, Recorder Whitelaw
issued complaint against the hus-
band.
Yesterday, however, Mrs. Edwards
appeared before Recorder Seymour,
acting for the regularly appointed
recorder, and modified her statements
of the day before. This time, she
said, her husband had "just pushed
her around" and upbraided her.
AS preventative for further diff
ferences in the family Recorder Sey-
mour imposed sentence of 80 days
on both of them.

Neurasthenic wrecks rheumatic from
the water-logged trenches or the icy
seas. chronic invalids suffering from
incurable ailments of the intestinal
tract are biologically disqualified for
fatherhood
1t is not the dead who endanger the
race. Since the Germans began to use
gas insanity among British soldiers
has increased in appalling ratio.
Nations have died of wars. The fall
of Rome was due to the decline in the
quality of the population. Today's
wholesale destruction of the fittest
may spell wholesale ruin in Europe.
For long war under Krupp conditions
spells suicide for modern nation.
For a century European countries
have been growing less prolific. Ger
man fecundity is thing of the past.
In 1876 the German birthrate was 40
per 1000, in 1911 % per thousand, in
Greater Berlin, 20 per 1000. The
French birthrate of 1872 was $4,000,
of 1907 below 100000, of 1911 below
700,000; a loss of 100000 babies a
year, within a generation.
Had Germany waited there would
have been no need to declare war on
France. The day when France could
fight was rapidly passing away.
In both Germany and France emil
grafton has fallen to almost nothing
In order to carry on agriculture and
manufactures Poles, Italians and Bel
,gians were imported into both coun-
tries in ever increasing numbers.
War increases the deaths and di-
'minishes the births. Modern war
means the destruction of the fittest
and the survival of the unfittest. In
France, for instance, men are two
inches shorter than a century ago
because the Napoleonic campaigns
killed off the tallest and strongest.
In every country the man who is not
sound enough to be soldier stays at
home to become father.
I Ne'er-do-wells rejected by the re-
cruiting sergeants mate with the moth
erS of tomorrow. Broken, hollow
chested, previously unmarriageable
men are accepted by lonely, anaemic
women. As result the percentage of
epilepsy, crime and disease is enor-
mously increased after each war.
When the Five Nations fought the
French in Canada for nearly two CEN
turies the husband famine was so
great, the toll of unborn dead so dan
gerous to the tribes that Iroquois
women claimed and obtained the right
to have children by any man "to pre-
serve the nations" But in Europe
polygamy is impractical 1t costs too
much. After the war We will all be
too poor for marriage, not to suggest
several wives.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-07-29
Told by Countess Russell TO Mar,
Boyle O'Rei,ly

London, England, July 27.-The
wars death roll can never be counted.
The men who die are but tithe Of
the toll. For far greater than the
actual loss are the unborn dead for
whom nobody yet mourns. Those tiny
unseen victims whose number will
never be known are the greatest loss
to the state.
Next year we will begin to count
the shrinkage in the birth rate. Five
years of empty cradle land and the
scarcity of children will become ma
tional problem. How, for instance,
will France, Belgium and Serbia re-
cover from the carnage which has al
ready bled them white?
In England we ale only beginning
to realize our losses. Hardly a Brit
ish officer who went to France last
August is alive today. Not one of the
old life guards-the pick of England's
aristocracy-still lives.
In Paris every able bodied man is un-
der arms. The Belgians also. In Italy
the same conditions are coming about.
We have sent forth the best of our
breed and hosts of that best have been
swept away-millons of men in the
prime of life and efficiency.
And the war has only begun. Now

Most Terrible Menace

that the Russians are in retreat we
know that the allies aggressive cam
paign will not begin until next spring.
Such an epidemic of unnatural
deaths among the young manhood of
a dozen countries in Europe makes a
husband famine inevitable.
Today in England there ave II mar
riageable, well born women to one eli
gibe man, and the ratio will soon be
much higher. The upper class girl of
10 to % who is not already engaged
must give up the hope of marriage.
What result will a husband famine
produce A great awakening, for one
thing. Certainly much of the work of
the English world must be done by
women for a generation.
| believe in marriage, but | do not
believe in the unwse war marriage,
romantic though it be. The vast ma
iority of those heroic weddings, cele-
brated by thousands in the eight COM
batant countries, must be childless.
Perhaps fortunately so.
The position of the war widow is
pathetic, but woe to the war wife. To
support a manned husband, to rear
weakling children that is a tragedy
more tragic than any loneliness.
Our slums, almhouses and prisons
are peopled by descendants of the un-
fit.
