Helps For the Housewife

delicious way of making lemon
pudding is to use apples, stewed and
mashed through a colander, instead
of bread crumbs or flour. 1t entirely
does away with the Objectionable
sickness of the flour, and gives a
better flavor than the crumbs.
1t is claimed that, during seasons
when diphtheria and other contagious
diseases prevail, as they have during
the past few months, onions, cooked
in some way should be eaten at least
once a week. Onions are invigorat-
ing and prophylactic. and it is said
that where children have freely eaten
onions. none have died from diph-
iberia or scarlet fever. There are
so many ways of cooking onions, and
so few but what like them, that they
could be served regularly without be-
coming tiresome.
During cold weather, when one has
much to do with handling coal and
ashes, the hands would be greatly
helped If they are washed clean at
night, then rinsed in borax water and
dried. Borax is very healing and
will keep the hands smooth. Put
crude borax in bottle and fill the
bottle with water. When all the
borax is dissolved, add more until
the water will absorb no more, and
a risiduum remains in the bottom OF
the bottle. When ready to use, pour
enough of this solution into the water
you use to make it feel slippery, or
very soft. 1t will not hurt the hands,
as there is nothing harmful in the
boraX. Keep a bottle on the wash
stand, and let the children use 1t.
In warming over old biscuits, do
not wet them, or sprinkle with water,
but put them on a tin, set in the
oven and cover closely with another
tin. They will be like fresh ones.
cover fit down tightly. If the oven
is cool, the biscuit will dry out and
be tough.
To cool a hot dish in a hurry, set 1t
in vessel containing cold salted
water. This will extract the heat
more rapidly than fresh water.

GOD is TRUE

God answers prayer; sometimes when
hearts are weak
He gives the very gifts believers seek.
- But often faith must learn a deeper
rest,
And trust Gods silence when he does
not speak;
For he, whose name is love. will
send the best.
Stars may burn out, nor mountain
walls endure,
But God is true, his promises are sure
. To those who seek.

THOUSAND MEN
ARE IDLE IN ATLANTA
Five Thousand More Are Working
On Part Time.

ATLANTA, Ga.-That seven thou
sand persons are out of work in At
lanta and five thousand more work
ing on part time is the gist of a re-
port made by committee of the At
lanta chamber of commerce, which
has been investigating conditions.
The committee urges that the city
and county and all private employers
engage in such work as is possible at
once in order to provide employment
for these thousands.
The committee says the cotton sit
uation is at the bottom of the troub-
lie, and urges all concerned to join in
any course which will lead to the
active movement of cotton and thus
release the sums of money now tied
up and which are greatly needed for
investment in lines which will fur
nish employment.

MANY DOGS IN ENGLAND

People i'm That Country Extremely
Sentimental in Regard to Them.
LONDON.-The annual dog tax of
$1.85, which fell due on New Years
day, has set an unusual number of
dogs adrift. The reason is due to the
war with so many men at the front
and so many dependents behind.
English people are extremely SEN
timental in regard to animals, and
the protecting act passed three years
ago imposes a maximum fine of 500
or six months Imprisonment on any
one convicted Of abandoning a dog.
This year the sentimental feeling
for the homeless dogs has taken the
form of appeals to the press for indi-
viduals to ransom the dogs and give
them to the troops as mascots, and
also of printed leaflets which have
been scattered among householders
by Boy Scouts pleading with owners
not to turn their pets into the street.

SPEND TWENTY MILLION
IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST TUBER-
CULOSIS IN U. S. LAST YEAR.
Sixty Per Cent of the Amount Came
From Public Funds. Interesting
Figures by Association.

NEW YORK.-More than 500
100000 was spent last year in the
campaign against tuberculosis in the
United States. OF this sum 66.8 per
cent was derived from public funds,
either federal, state, county or mu-
nicipal, and the remainder was con-
tributed by private philanthropy.
These are some of the interesting fig
ures contained in tn eannual statisti-
cal statement of the National AssOci-
alton for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis made public today
The statement is based largely on
reports received from anti-tubercu-
losis agencies throughout the coun-
try, but where reports are not avail
able the figures have been estimated.
Institutional care and treatment of
consumptives in hospitals and sana-
toria makes up the largest share of
the total expenditures. More than
$17, 100000 was spent for this pur-
pose, with an additional 1925, 900 for
special treatment of tuberculosis in
sane and prisoners. These figures in
clude not only the cost of mainte-
nance, but in some instances the cost
of construction of institutions. Anti
tuberculosis associations spent the
next largest sum, amounting to lit
tie over 100000 Care of patients
in dispensaries and by visiting nurses
cost almost as much, approximately
$86O,OO0. The growth of the open
air school movement is shown in the
fact that last year more than $780,
900 was spent for this purpose as
against $4,000 expended five years
ago. State and city boards of health
spent 100000 directly on tubercu-
losis work.

WILSON HAS VETOED
IMMIGRATION BILL
President DisapprOves Measure, and
Veto May Be OverTfdden. Georgia
Members Will Vote to DO So.

WASHINGTON.-P Will
son vetoed the immigration bill to-
day because of the literacy test for
admission of aliens. His message
was referred to the house immigra-
ton committee, whose chairman,
Representative Burnett, will move
next Thursday that the measure be
passed over the veto.
Much informal discussion among
members of the house followed re-
ceipt of the veto, and there were
many who believed the two-thirds
majority required to repass the bill
could not be procured. immigration
bills containing literacy tests were
vetoed by President Cleveland and
by President Taft, but both times
failed of repassage.
Both Georgia senators and the con-
gressional delegation will vote to
override President Wilson's veto of
the bill The same is true also of
practically all Southern senators ana
representatives
81 am particularly sorry that the
president vetoed the immigration
bill" said Senator Smith. II trust
that the house will override the veto.
I am sure that the senate will do so
if it has the opportunity.
AS the immigration legislation
originated in the house that body
must first pass on the veto. The bill
passed originally by a two-thirds ma
iority.
Congressman Burnett, of Alabama,
author of the bill is confident Of get
ting the required two-thirds next
Thursday, when the veto message
will be heard in the house.

Wild Bank, Okla, is built on the
general architecture of sugar bar
rel. weighing 500 pounds in his
checked suit, with most of the weight
between his collar button and his
knees. He arrived in Atlanta to see

buildings.
Atlanta storm doors-the reyoly-
ing kind-are not built for over
sizes. and when Mr.. Loyejoy found
himself being damned between door
and wall he tried to back out again.
That is where he made his mistake.
The door went out of commission
and refused to bulge either way.
To make matters worse, business
man, in hurry to catch train had
tried to emerge from the door just as
Mr.. Lovejoy essayed to enter, and
the Albanian found himself cooped
up on the opposite side, with more
breathing room, it is true, than the
Oklahoma man, but otherwise no bet
ter off. When the house carpenters
had arrived and taken the door TO
pieces Mr.. Lovejoy had lost seven
buttons and the Atlanta man had
missed his train.

and in Five Years United States
VIII Import Meat Supply.
The tremendous opportunity offer
ed Georgians in raising hogs and
cattle, and corn and forage to fatten
the hogs and cattle, is indicated by
recent statements of Henry j. Will
hanson, statistician of the United
States department of agriculture,
and ]. Ogden Armour, head of the
great Armour packing companies;
the former predicting that meat will
go to so cents pound and shoes to
$40 a pair within two years, and Mr..
Armour intimating that meat will
soon become a luxury in the United
States. AS it has been proven con-
clusively that hogs can be raised in
Georgia at 21a toe 3 cents a pound
and cattle at proportionately less
than it costs in the West there is the
chance of a life time for Georgia
farmers to make themselves indie
pendent by raising hogs and cattle
According to Mr.. Williamson a
government census of the cattle in
the United States shows a visible
supply of less than 100000 head,
and the number of animals capable
of breeding is reduced to an alarm
ingly deficient supply.
Mr.. Williamson says: Meat in
America will be a rarity before the
war ends, with its drain on our sup
ply. Unless scientific breeding be-
comes general and the slaughter OF
calves ceases before five years have
expired America will find herself in
the class of European countries that
have to look to importation to sup
ply meat.
Meat Imports Decrease.
We are now a meat importing ma
ton. according to Mr.. Armour. Cat
tie receipts at the six principal west
ern markets have been shrinking fol-
nine years. The receipts are now the
smallest in 80 years.

gray hair and gray mustache, fairly
we'll dressed and was exceedingly
earnest in his appeal. He called on
a number of the statehouse officials
and asked that they sign the petit
ton. He explained that to his mind
it was a matter Of simple justice that
New York should release Thaw from
custody and let him return to his
people.

we should interfere in their criminal
prosecutions or why they should at
tempt to dictate the conduct of our
courts. The plea in behalf of Thaw
may be a just one. But it is not for
us at this distance to attempt to die
tate to New York how it should
handle the case any more than it is
up to them to tell us what to do in
the matter of prosecution of any
