do were afraid that some harum- scarum schemes
might be advanced by such convention, and so

A CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR RIGHTS.

After long years of agitation and struggle and
after tremendous pressure had been brought to
bear, pressure so strong that it could not
longer be resisted, you voters of the state OF
Washington were allowed to reserve to your
selves certain rights and privileges when you
adopted the initiative and referendum amend
ment to the state constitution in 1912. Today
those rights and privileges reserved to you by
yourselves and no other agency, stand practically
nullified by the acts of the Republican majority
of the last legislature, in spite of the vetoes of
Governor Lister. The question now u.s. are you
going to stand idly by and see them badly taken
away from youe
Similarly, the trend of political actions during
the last few years has been away from the boss
controlled convention and the virtually hand
picked candidate, to the greater freedom of the
individual the greater popular choice of those
you want to serve you in public Office. Today the
September primary is practically eliminated as
factor in the selection of candidates, and the
party convention system has been re-established
a state to take such backward step7
The changes in the initiative and referendum
law made by the Republican majority in the re-
cent session and the party convention law will go
into operation June next, unless referendum petit
tons are filed against them in the meantime. A
movement is now on foot for the securing of
signatures to such petitions; that movement
should receive your active, energetic, whole
hearted support

AN ESTIMATE OF LISTER.

Two years ago, during the hot gubernatoria
campaign when Lister was speaking half
dozen times or more day to large meetings IN
the city of Seattle, the Post lntelligencer would
hardly mention his name Last Sunday that IRON
clad Republican newspaper, in discussing prob
able candidates in the for governor next year,
had this to say about him:
ssGov. Ernest Lister has made no definite state
ment concerning his candidacy for reelection.
Undoubtedly, if he chooses to enter the field, ne
will have no opposition in the Democratic party.
Close friends of the governor have said that he
would not seek reelection, but in the absence OF
definite statement from the governor himself the
opinion of his political acquaintance cannot De
taken as conclusive Gov Lister is stronger politi-
cally today thanNa year ago. he has conoucteo
the affairs of his office in an efficient manner and
he has convinced the people that he has remark
able grasp Of the details of the state government.
During the session of the legislature just closed
the veto Of the governor prevented several meas
urcs from becoming law. Now that the session
is over it is generally conceded that ne acted 1or
the best interest of the people, The fact that the
governor was alert, and knew at all times what
was going on, probably had as wholesome erect
as the actual veto. The presence OF Gov Lister
discouraged several groups in the legislature who
might have been depended upon to put something
over. The knowledge that their bills could not
get by with his approval served to put a check on
several measures, now admittedly put forward
for selfish reasons
The Post-Intelligencer, apparently, has not only
seen the light but is also willing to tell the truth
and there are some Republican newspapers that
won't do that

Making Sauerkraut

While cabbage of all conditions is
usually chopped up for kraut the best
results are obtained from nice white
heads, solid and of the kind commonly
called "slaw heads" If one is going
10 make a quantity, there is nothing
nicer to put it in than a clean keg or
barrel although with but a few heads
a jar is handler. Carefully trim all
loose, green and soiled leaves from
the head, and if washing is necessary,
wash before cutting into the head and
let drain, as all extra water is TO be
avoided After trimming cut into
quarters, remove the stalk and throw
quarters in the barrel, keg or jar. If
in a keg or barrel, chop with IA clean,
sharp spade, as l'ne as you prefer, but
It is not advisable to chop too fine;
sprinkle with very little salt and keep
throwing i'm fresh quarters and chop
ping until there is two feet or more
in the barrel. then with clean,
smooth wooden bludgeon pound down
until the juice covers the chopped cab
bage. Continue until receptacle is
full, or until the cabbages are all used,
but don't fill level full; leave some
room for il to work or the juice will
run over and llraut will not be as
good. Cover with clean cloth, then
clean boards. Weighted down with
smooth rocks and lastly a cloth tied
over the top of barrel. After ii has
worked, remove the rocks, boards and

Pink Tinted Lingerie

Bluing white undergarments is a
process familiar froan time imme-
mortal. No expert laundress would
dream of omitting this important part
of her labors; and all white wearables

pinking flesh tinted lingerie is new
idea, and though the process Is bit
suggestive of dyeing. 1t IS really no
more a dyeins process than is the

fine fabrics. Lovely as pale PINK

A ChiId's Shampoo

Scalps given to an excessive flow OF

"It is not safe for you to be out
here alone, Bess," said Mr.. Burton to
his daughter, one day at dinner. "You
must go into the village and stay with
AUNT Mary"
"Oh, father! I'm not afraid a Bit"
replied Bess. 1.-THE British won't hurt
a little girl like me-"
Bess was a Dutch maid, who lived
in New York State in Revolutionary
days. Dressed in her wooden shoes,
with the yellow braids hanging down
over her blue blouse, she made a
pretty picture.
mo, am not afraid" continued
Bess; land / mean to stay right here,
just as If | were a boy"
So the father went out to work at
the chimney of the church, and Bess
busted herself in the kitchen.
"Bess, you really ought to go into
the village" said her father again, at
tea I'VE have heard rumors that the
British are approaching the place, but
no one seems to know anything cer-
tain. Our American general is here
sick, and there are a few of his men
in quarters at his house, but not
enough to defend the place unless the
planlls are taken up from the bridge
in time
The father went to bed early, but
Bess sat up late. Then Tabs, the
white kitten, got away, and ran down
toward the church, After her raced
Bess. But the kitten did not stop.
Leaping over the fence. it jumped into
the church through the window, then
tore around the gallery and finally
darted up the steep steps into the
belfry itself. But Bess was not far
behind. Right on the cats heels came
Bess, her long hair streaming in the
moonlight. Up the steps leaped the
kitty. and up the steps went Bess, at
a bound.
Then the kitten did a very wicked
thing. It sprang up amid the timbers
which formed high, steep ladder,
reaching up to the very bell itself. 1t
clawed and climbed and meowed, but
kept on getting higher and higher,
and Bess came on as fast as her fat
legs could follow. Once she looked
below, but she heard the kitty purr,
and set out again to catch her. When
she looked down. the house in which
her father lay sleeping seemed far
away. About a mile away lay the
town, it's few lights twinkling in the
trees.

When You Sneeze

There is more than one cause for
sneezing, and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to
sneeze, the pollen of certain plants
will affect others, and most people are
likely to sneeze in the presence of
dust. Such sneezing is due to super
fetal irritation.
The snee2e caused by the effect of
cold is different. 1t is an attempt of
nature to cure you, says the Buffalo
Times. She makes you sneeze for the
same reason that she makes you
shiver-to generate heat for warming
the blood and preventing you from
taking more cold-to help relieve the
cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an act
of the nose alone, this being merely
+, the part of the body where it eX-
plodes. 1t is an act of the entire
| body during which every muscle gives
a jump. The body is affected by a
| spasmodie effort to warm the entire
system and throw off the cold.

Katie had removed the chafing dish
and now she brought 1t back again
and connected it with the electric
light socket While the water was
coming to boil Dicky took up cup
into which the yolks of two eggs had
been placed, and stirred slowly into
it two teaspoonfuls of dry mustard,
two of Worcestershire sauce, two
scant ones of butter, a few drops of
tabasco, q dash of cayenne, another
of black pepper, and a liberal sprink-
ling of salt and paprika. These were
the proportions for two pounds of
cheese.
Katie set at his elbow bottle of ale
which Dicky had uncorked in the aft
ernoon, so that it would be of the
exact flavor he wanted. He finished
the blending of the mixture in the
cup, set it aside, and put into the
blazer heaping teaspoonful of but
ter. When it had simmered he added
the cheese. Then for a few minutes
nobody spoke, for Dicky acted as if
the settlement of the war depended
upon his success in blending the melt
ing cheese with the ale, which he
poured on from time to time, almost
drop by drop.

Cleaning Feathers
Dear Margerv Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
viii you reprint the article on clean9
ing feathers. l would like to tako
care of several soiled feathers for my
girl friends and myself and do not.
know how to clean them.
CARELESS
Here is an excellent method for
cleaning feathers;
Take q good white soap, such aH
CASTLE or ivory, and wash the feathers
in tepid water, the soap In one Hanu
and the feathers in the other, as you
would a handkerchief. After wash
ing thoroughly rinse with cold water,
"a pinch of bluing may be used). -
the feather is getting dark from age,
use in q basinful of clean water aa
mucIr oxalic acid as dime will hold,
thoroughly dissolved. This is called
"bleaching" and must only be done
to old feathers. Thoroughly rinse,
because the acid will rot them IL "
is not all washed out.
Shake as much of the water out as
possible. Have ready a newspaper
with half the contents OF a package
of cornstarch. Lay the feather i'll it
and rub the starch In well. Then4
shake out and run the hand through
close to the stem. Repeat this method
until the feather begins to fluff. Then
throw on the rest of the package OF
cornstarch. Keep this up until thero
is no moisture; then pin to line out
of doors to let the starch blow out.
Have a tea kettle boiling and shaknI
the feather over the steam. but do
not let it get wet. Then it will be
ready to curl. A feather knife na%
be bought in q department store for
fifty cents. Do not use sharp
edged knife.
Never hold feathers over the heat.
1t dries the natural oil which gives
life and beauty to the feathers.
