USES FOR PARAFFlN PAPER

Paraffin paper costs only about five
cents or ten cents for big roll and /
try to keep some on hand always.
Besides being fine for lining almost
every kind of a mold from cake to ice
cream, it's also good to use inside a
dish in which fish, like salmon loaf or
some other souffie dish. is being
cooked. It's easy to remove-and, Joy

ATTN paper you throw away the fish
aroma which makes the washing of
fish utensils so odious.
Then it's also good to use to wrap
around foods before placing them in
the ice box. OF course, | cover almost
all foods with the cover that comes
with the dish. But what can you use
to cover a roast that has been cooked /?
/ haven't dish cover of any kind
that's large enough or shaped right
to do this. Answer, / wrap it in a
little paraffin paper dress. The paraf-
fin doesn't absorb the juices as tissue
paper would, and it keeps away odors
of other foods. In fact, little sheet
OF paraf1n paper can be used to cover
any dish in the refrigerator in lieu of
any other kind of cover, and it is a
sure protector against the dish alb

MUST Be PROTECTED
Shipowners' Argument Should Be
Effective.
Same Principle Applies to Them as to
the Manufacturer-Ameri Wage
Scale and Living Conditions
Must Be Preserved.

Shipowners recently have made the
argument that in ordinary times they
will not be able to keep UP the present
pace, owing to the lower cost of OPP
Grating European ships. They point
out that as a result of the higher
American wage scale and the extra
employees who must be engaged the
cost of operating an American ship in
some instances is 81 200 a month high
er than that of European ship.
No better argument could be made
in favor of the protective tariff sys-
tenn, The difficulty that shipowners
find in competing with foreign ships
is the same difficulty that American
manufacturers find in competing with
foreign products. 1t has been said
that the cost of production and the
cost of labor are almost synonymous
terms in the United States. Repub-
lican platforms have defined the pro-
tective tariff as a tariff that equals
the cost of production at home and
abroad. It might almost be described as
a tariff that equals the difference in
wages at home and abroad.
There have always been better
wage and living conditions In the
United States than in Europe. There
can be no backward step. A way must
be found to preserve the American
wage scale and American living con.
ditions on land and on sea.

Sees Republican victoru.

There is no question in the minds
of the Republicans of New Mexico and
the states of the Southwest that the
next occupant of the White House will
be Republican" said Senator A. B.
Fall of New Mexico, in an interview.
LAS for a candidate, the Republicans
of that section are ready to support
any man the convention may name.
They are not particular SO long as he
is Republican. Their one desire is
to have a change of administration.
They believe the present administra-
ton has demonstrated how impossible
1t is for the Democrats to rur the af.
fairs of state and government. | be-
lieve the people throughout the nation
have made up their minds to get rid
of Democratic control.
"The president was dead right when
he said few weeks ago to the men,
bers of his national committee that
the tariff will be one of the big issues
o; the next campaign. We were afraid
the administration would try to avoid
it. l believe can speak for the Re-
publicans of the Southwest when
say that they will be satisfied with
any candidate the Chicago convention
may nominate, for he will be Repub-

Progress Through Protection.

The United States has far out
stripped Europe along humanitarian
lines. 1t is because the United States
has worked under protective tariff
from the very beginning of its exis-
tence, with but few lapses, that this
progress has been possible. What
ever laws are to be enacted, whether
for regulation on land or on sea,
should be based 'upon the principle
that higher standards of living for
Americans must continue.

To Starch Fine IinnerIe.

Many housewives experience great
difficulty in laundering fine lingerie,
such as dainty waists, jabots. collars
and so forth. The chief difficulty
seems to lie in giving them just the
proper degree of crispness. Rinsing
them in a solution of borax gives the
right degree of stiffness and renders
them Just like new. Two heaping ia
blespoonfuls of borax to five quarts OF
water is a good proportion. This is
also excellent for thin dresses
trimmed with lace.

Little Denmark possesses the great
est butter export and, in a sense. owes
this distinction to the powerful com
petition of American grains in the
70s, which forced the Danes to turn
from bread production and to concen-
trate their efforts upon the produe-
tion of butter for the bread. Denmark
exports more than 1S0,000.000 pounds
of butter yearly. and its fancy buffers
are the finest made. 1t also acts as
middleman for great quantities Of
Finnish and Russian butter. The small
northern kingdom has sold increasing
quantities of butter. cream and milk
in the German market since the out
break OF the war.

good look at him. He seemed TO exc
out a living in the most frugal man
ner and as he was known to be very
patient with the few people who rent

him it was generally supposed that he
had all he could do to live from hand

prise when they entered his room,
where the floor and the furniture were
covered with dirt and dust and where
his pet doves we're iuttering about as
they pleased; for under the sofa on
which he used to sleep there was a
chest containing about $4,000 in cash
and securities. The probate court will
have to find out who is entitled to the
money Werdelin's building is worth
about $4,000 and his property he had
willed to the municipality.

REIMBURSEMENT OF
 STOCK MARKET IS
 FEATURE OF WEEK
Prospects of Dividends on Steel Common Stock Said to Be Bright-F0reign
 Affairs Get Attention

New York, January 25-Technical condi- tions in the stock market underwent fur ther readjustment last week. Most of the time prices sagged, some prominent is- sues recording lowest quotations of recent months. There was liquidation in nu- merous specialties, notably the war group, and investment stocks were mostly heavy in consequence of European liquidation. Official figures are lacking, but it is esti- mated that this market has absorbed $5O,- Ooo,oc0 of American stocks and bonds Via London since January 1.
 Foreign affairs again dominated the week news. Events of the week in Flu rope, including England's intention to more rigidly blockade enemy ports; Aus tria's successful move into Montene,ro and Greece's anomalous position paro viewed from various angles. DeveIon- ments in Mexico hardly were calculated to inspire confidence in an early solution Of that republics troubles
 It was regarded as significant that inc market became most unsettled after the declaration of the Bethlehem Steel $50 div idend. Other war issues bore signs of further selling.
 The Bethlehem Steel episode furnished much speculation regarding the dividend possibilities on United States Steel. whose directors meet Tuesday. There were pre- dictions that disbursement of not less than per cent annually would be made. It is believed that Steel's earnings justify a distribution on the common stock. but the conservative element in the Steel board may rule otherwise
 In the steel industry all forms of out- put continue at maximum capacity and at rising prices. The metal markets are enjoying the greatest prosperity in their history, with copper quoted at more than p cents for delivery in the second quar- ter of the year. It is feared, however. that the movement in coppers may cause disastrous results unless present specula- tive elements are eliminated

AFTER DEATH. FAME, MONEY

John Henry Twatchman worked pa tiently all his mature life, and with never-faiing inspiration as an artist
 principally painting landscapes. There were times when 1t seemed to him as though his labor were wasted. He was in fact compelled to teach in order to secure sufficient income. On the whole, however, TWatchnan was of cheerful dis position, for he was at times persuaded that if he were not recognized while alive his children would have knowledge that at last he was fully appreciated
 Twatchman died some years ago while sojourning near Gloucester, Mass, intent upon landscape painting there. Only a few years passed before there was gen. eral recognition of the fact that an American impressionist Twatchnen is to rank with the greates At sale under the auspices of the American Art asso- eiatio the latter part of last week, many of the art enthusiasts of New York city and of other parts of the country-some from the Pacific sope-Were present, and all revealed great interest in the TWatch- mha landscapes Two of these were sold for nearly $500, more money than Twatchman received in any ene year for all his paintings. And as these land scapes were bought by one of the high est art authorities in New York, it was evident that this authority believed that the time was not far distant when he could sell these pictures for much more than he paid for them Other Twatch- man landscapes were sold after his death at prices which made it clear that his fame is permanently established al- though few knew him before he died.
