T III E. c OOK BOOK
Howard LRdnn

The cook book is an inspired work
which, when taken according to direc-
tions, can produce more kinds of in
growing indigestion than the highly
temper mince pie.
In spite of the fact that an old cook
will never use one of these books except
as a resting place for a new-mown pie.
the young bride is always presented
with several copies and advised to
study them carefully. This is a repre-
hensible practice and will have the CON
demnation of every man who prizes his
stomach at its true worth. Man was
not put upon this earth to act as an ex-
pertinent station for some courageous
female who was not allowed to do any
thing prior to her marriage except play
Gottschalk s Last Hope with a stiff
wrist. How much happier we would all
be if our wives would learn to cook
from taste and sad experience, instead
OF preparing desserts in a cold, mechan-
zeal fashion and testing the fortitude
Of loved relatives to the last notch.
The modern cook book furnishes
plans and specifications which require
more material than the kitchen of a
New York hotel. Every once in while
some husband will complain of the mo-

The Vermont state teachers conven-
ton had a wise committee on resolu-
tions this year. Two subjects-na-
tional preparedness and woman $ suf-
fragc, which were offered by persons
with more zeal than judgment-were
not given consideration. The resolu-
tions as adopted expressed apprecia-
ton Of the courtesy and hospitality of
the Burlington people; expressed CON
fidence in the new commissioner of ed
ucation, NJ. B. Hillegas, and pledged
him undivided support; declared for
principle of pensions for teachers, but
insisted that any system devised for
this purpose should be financially
sound; favored measures that will tend
toward a better physical school envi-
ronment of our boys and girls and a
more rigid enforcement of the SAM
tary regulations pertaining to school
buildings and surroundings. Here are
subjects where parents generally can
meet the teachers half way and assist
them in bringing about the results
which they would like to see accom-
plished.

for the last two seasons by that once
famous impresario, Cornelius McGilli
cuddy. The American league
managers are keener to hunt out and
develop new players. Youth must have
its way in a sport like baseball, in
which it is much better to experiment
than to stand pat. That is to a large
extent the secret of the junior league s
success-a success which has been
startlingly emphasized once more by
the hollow, one sided character of this
year fight for first honors in the base
ball world

notony of the daily fare and clamor for
a change, but when his wife shows him
a few of the menus in late cook book,
which call fer the entire stock of a
wholesale grocery house, he decides
that 1t would be better to stick to the
denatured cereal and buttered toast.
The woman who tried to follow the Law
out IN an up-to-date cook book with
out throwing her husband into bank
ruptcy would soon have to sell off all
of the furniture in the house and mort
gage the sleeping porch
The only cook book which is worth
the price is the kind which mother
uses. A cook book may be bound in
full calf and printed on decllIee edged
paper, but it will not tell a nervous
bride when the macarOni is scorched on
the bottom. Many a bride who relied
on an indeXeI cook book for results
has had to gallop down to the bakery
at the last minute in order to be able
to put something on the table besides
the dOllies and the iced tea
The cook book is all right for spc-
cial occasions, when people come pre-
pared for the worst, but it is poor
excuse for an old-fashioned cook with
a keen, pulsating nose.

Peter Gnome," said Daddy, '.was

Hughes Being Specific.
Hartford. Conn. Conrant. J

Hartford, bOnH., NOufanJ.)
These who don like Mr.. Hughes
which refers mostly to Democrats
make the criticism that he talks in
generalities and fails to be specific.
The trouble with them is that they
refuse to read what is in the record.
During his campaigning Mr.. Hughes
has made any number of the most
and specific declara-
tiOns of his principles and purposes.
He has been specific both in his criti-
cisms of the administration and in
his declarations of what he proposes
to do if he is elected President. For
instance, what is the matter with his
speech at the big rally in Baltimore
the other day? He said he had been
asked what, if elected, he would do
in Mexico. Rightly he said that no.
body can tell what particular kind of
n mess we will be in next March, but
he said there are certain principles
to which we propose to adhere =
They are important in Mexico, he
said, and important in Latin America,
and here they are as Mr.. Hughes stat
ed then:-
The first is that we will not med
die with things that do not concern
us.
The second is that we will not
merely talk about rights of small
states but we will observe them.
The third is that it will be under
stood that at all events the lives
and property of American citizens
will be protected.
How fortunate it would have been
if those simple and honest principles
had guided the conduct of the Will
son administration.

The New York Tribune in giving the
baseball crown to the American league
takes a fling at the old National league
that it deserves. The Tribune SAYS:
''The American league now definitely
outclasses the National league. 1t has
better batters, better pitchers, better
fielders and better base runners. 1t is
a more evenly balanced organization,
with playing strength better distribut-
ed. 1t has no chronic candidates for
the second division if allowance is made
for the travesty on ball playing staged

The milk producers in various parts
of the country are making a vigorous
struggle for higher prices, and in view
of the cost of other food commodities
their demands are entitled to consider
alton. 1t costs money to produce milk
as well as transport and distribute it,
but there are facts which would indi-
cate that the dealers have been getting
more than their share. One thing is
certain-none of the farmers furnish
