Confident of Victory.

Harry NJ. Daugherty of Columbus.
o., former chairman of the Republi-
can state committee, was in Washing
ton on personal business, he said, and
while he declined to talk politics, he
found time for a political epigram,
says the Star of that city. Mr.. Daugh-
erty is one of the Republicans who
believes that a Republican of the old
guard surely will be elected at the
next election. Said Mr.. Daugherty:
IF the Democratic party is wrong
on the tariff, which it always is, and
right on everything else, which it
never is. yet the country would not
prosper. If the Republican party is
right on the tariff, which it always is,
and wrong on everything else, which
is uncomfortable, yet the country
would prosper.
This is why the people are deter
mined to restore TIE Republican party
to power.
"Out in Ohio we are agreed on one
thing relative to the next presid initial
candidate, and that is to agref We
nave lined up behind no individual,
but we shall support a winner. Con-
ferenees will be necessary to deter
mine who the banner bearer will be-"

Runnjno 10 Cover.

The most interesting political spec
tacle at present in this country is
that of the Democrats scurrying
about, looking for some place of con.
cealment in which to hide from the
wrath of the voters. They are throw
ing up verbal dust in every diree-
ton, seeking to cover .heir flight, leav-
ing trail that a blind man might
follow. From the president down, the
leaders of the party are apologizing
for, the mistakes made, and are try
ing to shift the blame for their
plumbers onto the victims of their
short-sighted or destructive policies
Lambasting Wall street or booing
at the war god win not in any way
alter the fact that the depression of
business in this country began with
the incoming of the present admins
tration. President Wilson and his
party set about at once, on coming
to power to change the foundations
of American commerce and industry,
and they have succeeded so we'll that
the superstructure has been almost
completely wrecked as was the I'M
derpinning. which was removed entire
ly. If any semblance of prosperity
remains, it is in spite, and not be-
cause, of the activity OF the Demo.

Mauic Herbs.

Our grandmothers' complexion Sc
crets were quite simple. First of all,
they were firm believers in the proper
ties of certain herbs and vegetables,
both as health-giving foods and for ex-
ternal use.
In summer green salads, fresh let
tuces, spring onions and green vege-
tables formed conspicuous part of
their diet; also rhubarb, and plenty Of
it-served hot, served cold, served in
almost every imaginable way-indeed,
it was seldom absent from the table as
sweet And, really, fresh salads,
green vegetables and rhubarb are all
splendid for purifying the blood, and
we might well follow our grand.
mothers example in this respect. A
Spanish onion boiled in milk and taken
at night time was looked upon by them
as a splendid tonic and blood purifier
also. and this it really is.

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE PORK
Here Is New Recipe That viii Be
Appreciated If the Directions
Are Followed.

Chop fine three pounds raw lean
pork and quarter-pound of fat salt
pork. Soak a pint of white bread
crumbs in cold water. When soft
squeeze very dry, add to the chopped
meat with large onion chopped fine,
one tablespoonful chopped parsley,
half teaspoonful each of chopped
sage and seal up in the same man
ner as when canning fruit. This gives
a supply of soup ready to use.
To prepare the meat, cut it up in
small pieces, sprinkle with salt to
taste land spices, if liked, then pack
closely in jars; no water is required
as the meat makes jelly ITSELF. Put
layer of hay in the bottom Of wash
boiler, and put In the jars, packing
well with hay between them to keep
them from breaking. Fill up the
boiler with cold water nearly to top
of jars (having laid covers loosely on
top and put on the lid When water
boils let it boil for hours longer, when
the meat will be thoroughly cooked.
II L essary, add more boiling water
to keep the jars well covered When
done, take out each jar separately
(haye rubbers soaking in warm wa
teri, sealing at once to exclude the air
The main point in keeping is to have
jars sealed alright. Before taking
out the jars have thick cloth wrung
out of cold water ready, to set them
on to prevent breaking while tighten
ing on the covers.

The women Of Sweeea have present
ed a strange gift to the queen. For
months they carried on a nationwide
Campaign for preparing articles Of
clothing for the soldiers OF the coun-
try. who may be ordered to the from
tier TO defend their country any day
or night. The exact number of per-
sons contributing was 1882. and the
gift consisted of 5s,47O pairs of stock
ings, 54s wooden jackets and vests.
7.101 pairs of gloves and mittens. BAIT
pieces of neckwear 745 helmets and
caps, SO felt hats, and l ,2S4 other ar
ticleS- There were also 40 pounds
Of yarn and S4.750 in cash. Tie
gifts were to be presented to {ht
queen on a certain day. and many Oe-
lated givers will swell the collection
very materially. The cash expenses
connected with the managemei we're
paid by a few patriotic persons so
that they do not show up as gifts.
The situation is serious on account OF
the war. and the presentation Of the
gift to the queen was as informal and
transformations as the givers could
make it. The objects had been placed
in the White Sea- a hall in the royal
palace. Packages were put on top of
each other as stones in a building. and
the whole pile had the shape of a
fortress surmounted by Swedish flags.
In many cases there were inscrip-
lions giving the names OF the donors
Even societies of foreigners living in
Sweden had made contributions.

LOOK INTO FUTURE
What Of Business Conditions At
ter the War?
Textile Industries of the Country
Have Been Saved From Ruin by
European Conflict. But Danger
Is by No Means Over.

Predictions are made by what may
be considered authorities that the wal
viii end before the summer cIotes.
Some set June for the finish and 9TH
ers figure that September is the SAT
est date. Then what?
The war that has Slapped the best
blood of Europe has saved the textile
industry in this country Our mills
have had their best business from
France and Belgium. and, without us,
the armies of the allies would have
suffered beyond endurance from lack
of clothing. Nevertheless, in Febru.
airy nearly 100000 of worsted IA
brics. over 100000 of woolens end
$4,000 of worsted yarns were re
ceived from England under the indus
try-killing tariff in force.
The end of the war is nearer than
the end of the industry disturbers
at Washington, but for both the end
is in sight. and a page in history is
about to be turned that should never
have been written.
Even the most radical free-trader
must admit that the Wilson tariff is q
rank failure Hundreds of thousands
of self-respecting American workers
also admit 1t and are eager for the OPP
portunity to register their protest, yet
no move for the relief of our indus
tries has been made by the party in
power.
When in strenuous times like the
present, in England, if reports are
true, her mills can send in even ST.
100000 worth Of wool yarns and cloth
in month. what will happen when
normal conditions prevail and the full
force of unfair competition is felt?-

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
flour. Bake two hours. This makes
a very pretty and delicious roast, large
enough for six people, and also excel

With the returning spring weather
Queen Alexandra seems 10 have recov-

the amount Of work she manages to
accomplish Is astonishing. She Is as
impulsive as ever and one of her ia
vorite pastimes is unannounced visits
to the London hospitals. where wound
ed and sick soldiers are cared for.
The result % this is that every hos
pital is always ready for a royal in
spection, and those of Queen Alexan-
dra are very thorough ones. The pa
tients get the benefit of the continu-
GUS alertness Of the entire staff.
Sweden has established post office
in Copenhagen. Large quantities of
mail destined for Russia pass through
Denmark and Sweden. For some
time the Russian mails were sorted in
