COLLECTING RECIPES.

The cook book which is filled with
recipes that its owner has carefully
collected from tiihe to time-recipes
that have descended with family heir
looms from former generations-is in
deed priced possession: something
to be treasured by anyone who may
be fortunate enough to receive it. For
1t contains recipes the choice of which
indicates the experience of many
sometimes of generations recipes
which should really prove the most
practical. the most economical. and the
most successful that it is possible to
find.
Now. perhaps you have not one of
these wonderful collections of family
recipes in your possession. II you
have not, you should get one together
yourself
The best way, perhaps. to keep re-
cipes is on cards. neatly filed in
wooden or paSteboard box. Then,
when the cards become soiled or
sha bby. they can be renewed. and so
the whole can be kept always clean
and neat.
The value of collection of recipes
foes not lie in its size. 1t lies rather
in its practica bility. So the first thing
have OH hand.
Discard those that have no prac-
teal values-recipes for dishes which
your family never eat. of course.
there are some recipes for occa sional
dishes which are very valua ble-those
for Wedding cake, for instance. or
pluI pudding. But there are in every
objection of haphazard recipes some
that are worthless.
After the recipes are sorted out,
with duplicates and useless ones dis
carded, copy the rest on the cards
and sort them according to the gen.
eral head under which they fall. A
good division for the recipe box Is
made up of the following heads.
AppetiZers. beverages, breads, cake,
candies, cheese. desserts. eggs. fish.
frozen desserts, game, meat. pastry.
pickles. poultry, preserves and jellies.
buildings. salads. sauces. soup. vese-
tables
The heading Breads includes rolls
mullins, and other breakfast breads
Desserts includes gelatine desserts
custards. and other desserts not under

jellies includes all canned fruit

Did you ever stop to think how much
| better is the word do" than the word
don't" One is educational. creative,
| formative; the other negative, destruc-
| tive. damper upon volition and energy.
The don't habit is particularly per-
| ncious when applied to children. The
| continual reiteration of the negative on
| the part of the mother or teacher has
the effect of killing initiative in the
child. often of making it nervous and
uncertain of itself.
Too often it is but the result of weak.
unbalanced nerves of the mother and
teacher and has no connection with any
wronGdoing on the part of the child.
/ remember some years ago taking a
country walk with a friend and her two
boys She was very intelligent woman,
but one who had not learned the gospel
OF cheerful optimism. and as result
had a bad case of nerves." The boys
were running. jumping, vaultinS walls,
walking on the top of picket fences, to
continual accompaniment of don't do
that from their mother.
I finally said, is it really dangerous
for them to play like that? Do you have
to forbid it,
She answered with a depreCating laugh.
oh. don't mind their doing it; simply
can't bear TO see it
These children were simply slaves to
their mothers nervous fear and yet she
was very intelligent woman, who. now.
with restored health. is conducting an
important branch of government welfare
work.
How many women. 7 wonder. are maxi
ing this same mistake child should
never he the victim Of the mothers I'M
rcasonah bic fear or the mothers anger.
Many mothers have learned not to pun

need TO learn to replace the vacillatinS

Many women believe that il they get

most trying period Is over. but mothers
Of large families know that it takes more
courage to see children through the
sports .of the adolcscent period than
through the ailments OF bahyhood.

harmed BY an over-fearful mother. To
pc her continual don't he may be-
come dcceitful or openly rebellious. Or
he may give in and in consequence his
health become impaired. his physical
growth stunted his character dwarfed by
the feeling that he is not like other boys.
1t is just as easy to say do as it is
to say don't if our mental attitude is
the affirmative one. BE kind and gentle
to pussy and she will love YOU is an af-
firmation that instlls into the child's
mind the thought of gentleness. To say
don't pull the cats tail'' is simply to de-
prive, him of something that seems to
him Interesting without giving him any
return for it,
DO this" is an affirmative suggestion
that the child's mind promptly acts upon.
Don't do that" is negative and he is apt
to question it.
Let US keep always in mind that We are
life. not tearing 1t down:
that we are building character, not de-
stroying; and this principle applies to
children grown tall as well as to little
ones. Every member of your household
and mine needs the constructive cheer.
not the destructive drug of depression.
Think on these things.

water. After the water has stood on
the grounds for four or five minutes pour
the tea on the ice. \ safeguard against
broken glasses Is to put a spoon in each
glass. The spoon serves as a conductor
of heat.
The other method for making iced tea
Is more economical. for according to it
the tea is made and poured into a big
bottle, fruit jar or covered jug or pitcher
when it'is sufficiently strong and then
stood in the icebox until it is thoroughly
chilled. Slices of lemon and sugar can
be added before or after it is served, and
little chopped ice adds not only to the
deliciousness but also to the sound of
the tea-aDd nothing is more suggestive

TARIFF TO THE 'FRONT.'.

IN the campaign OF 1912 the West
Virginian sounded q warning as % the
eject the nee trade policy OF tho
Democratic party would have on the
business OF the country and an EFFORT
was made then to prevent the voters
from the First congressional district
from sending Democrat to congress.
In the special congregational election
Of 1913 the same warning was again
repeated and strenuous opposition
was made to the democrauc candidate
from this district on account of his
party's tariff record. And again in
1914 the protests were made against
this mistake and at that time this
paper was able to point to the fact
that what we had predicted would
happen under free trade had happen
ed. Long lists of business and bank
failures and factory suspensions were
shown as the actual result OF this
policy, but the Democratic press
frothed at the mouth and denied the
existence of these conditions and held
up the West Virginian and other Re-
publican newspapers to public criti-
cism, denouncing them as Calamity
howlers." 1t was asserted that by
showing the real conditions of bust
! ness that we were hurting business
when as a matter OF fact we were try

Two of the largest dry goods fail

Tariff reductions started business
on the downward course before the
war commenced and this was shown
by hundreds Of instances of failure
and suspension of factories through
these columns at the time.
The outlook for the ending of the
war in the near future is very good
and business has taken on a brighter
aspect on this account. The war has
acted as tariff wall protecting the
American manufacturer, but when the
war is over the worst from business
standpoint is to follow when the way
is opened up for throwing European
made goods upon our markets. We
have repeatedly cited this fact, but
perhaps if the same thing is said by a
Democratic newspaper Independent in
thought and all sense. it will have
more weight with the Democratic
readers Of their newspaper. Golfers
Weekly is the authority we want to
quote, which says:

the Republicans will rely on to beat
the Democrats in the presidential cleo

the European war there was difference
of opinion among Republicans as to
issue next year. But undoubtedly the
European war has created new situa-
ton with respect to protection. To fafl
to recognize this emergency is mere
stubborn blindness. Even Democrats
who are at heart free traders admit
that the war has created an emerg-
ency condition, and that as practical
matter it must be faced. 1t is not so
much the war as the ending Of the
war that will cause tariff emergency.
