THE REAL ISSUE


4 campaign for the presidency
comes, not over the horrors of war in
general. or the personal habits of
Huerta in particular, but over the
record of the administration at home
and abroad. The responsibility for
that record rests upon the democratic
party, whose control of the presidency
and the congress has been complete
for nearly four years. The party
ooasted of that responsibility in its
platform and challenged criticism of
that record. As the standard bearer
and dominator of his party. the demo-
cratic president carries the primary
responsibility for the record. and
thereby confirms the estimate he
placed upon his Office in book he
wrote while president OF Princeton
and published in 1908 under the title
Constitutional Government in the
United States" OF the ONCE he now
holds Mr.. Wilson then remarked:
'The president is at liberty, both ir
as he can. If he lead the ma
ton, his party can hardly resist him.
His Office is anything he has the sa-
gaci1y and force to make it,"
REGARDING the absoluteness Of the
PRESIDENTS responsibility in the realm
OF foreign affairs. he wrote in another
chapter Of the same book:
"The initiative in foreign affairs,
which the president possesses without
any restriction whatsoever, is virtual
ly the power to control them abso-
lutely. Me must stand al
ways at the front of our affairs and
the Office will always be as big and in
fuential as the man who occupies It,"
Notwithstanding these clear COM
mitments, neither Mr.. Wilson nor his
spOkesmen have thus far shown any
stomach for fight in defense Of the
record Of the administration. The
harder Mr.. Hughes hits the record the
louder they talk about something else.
When he undertakes to hold them
to "a strict accountability" for the rec
ord they seek to shirk that RESPONSE
bility by changing the subject. When
he condemns the administration's ex-
travagance In the expenditure OF pub
lie funds and its payment of political
debts with public Offices, they retort
with encomiums of Mr.. Wilson's dip
lomatic notes When he denounces the
administration failure to uphold the
honor of the flag and to protect the
lives and property of those whose cit
izenship gave them the right to seek
the shelter Of the Stars and Stripes.
they Join in a hymn OF hate against
Huerta. When he excoriates the ad-
ministration's raids upon the civil
service under the pretense of civil SER
vice reform. they wax eloquent in con-
demnation of the carnage abroad.
Sooner or later, however, Mr.. Will
son must stand up for the record of
his administration. He dare not deny
1t. he cannot run away from it, and
Mr.. Hughes will not allow him to
dodge 1t or sidestep It or hurdle 1t.
Mr.. Hughes Is not without experience

Keeping Foods Without Ice

City families really have few troubles in
regard to preserving their meat supply as
compared 10 those who live in the country.
But many OF us venture forth to the country
or the woods for our summer outing. and the
problem of keeping the meat supply fresh
without daily ice supply looms up for the
first time.
Nature is becoming more productive each
season and exact knowledge OF what condi-
ti0ns are harmful 10 her bounty interests
people as never before. Ii Is only by such
close attention to agricultural problems that
enough food can be secured TO feed our
growing population Now 1t is time that
the housekeeper took an active interest in
foods and their preservation, not by canning
and preserving particularly, but by saving
the foods that are plentiful now against
the coming winter when the prices begin to
soar.
Foods spoil because of the living organ
isms that feed on them and change them
so they are unfit for human consumption.
These organisms are destroyed by steriliza-
tiOn. Canning, preserving and such pro-
eesses are only successful when the sterll-
izing process Is complete and no germs are
left in the food.
Food that is stored In cool cellars hung
in wells or near running water can only be
kept wholesome and palatable when closely
covered. This protects 1t from the air and
Meat is the most difficult Of all foods to
keep. Small quantities are usually pur-
chased 10 preserve the meat, although this
Is an expensive process. Veal Is the hardest
OF meats TO keep in edible condition, then
chicken, lamb and fish.
Cook your meats as soon as possible after
buying them. 1t Is an economical process,
for II you cook by gas or coal 1t takes but
one cooking to do them-you can cook 10
roasts as economically as you can cook one
since It takes the same time and the same
amount OF fuel. Cooking destroys all the
organisms that cause decay. Reheat fire.
Quently only safeguards your meats. One
housewife does her weeks roasts and meats
every Saturday during the hot weather.
II meat or food OF any kind Is kept en-
tirely away from all air Il VIII spoil. A
perforated I'd on the container 1gill admit
air to circulate. Crockery or earthenware
dishes, once thoroughly chilled. are the best
containers for food that must be kept fresh
without the use OF ice. These crooks must
be set IN some other receptacle and run-
ming water supplied to them. so that the
contents are kept quite cold, or you can
wrap cloths wrung out Of cold water around
the crooks and sink them iR the ground
All foods may be kept in cans. Of course,
even meats may be preserved this way after
proper sterilization, although 1t is better

FEWER "CRYBABIES" AMONG
CHILDREN NOW, M'LISS WRITES
Despite Critics of the Modernists, New Way of
Training Youngsters Thus Far Shows
Advantage Over Old Method

| nous, Contrast the old with the new
methods. Picture to yourself modern
mother sending her child to bed without
it's supper. The neighbors would call in
the authorities to stay her cruelty.
Control yourself before you attempt
TO control a youngster." is the new doc
trine dinned into the ears Of those who
have no patience with moral suaslon and
would resort to the old slipper tyranny
to curb the ebullience Of the young.
The modern child is heard on all occa-
Bions. All stop to listen to its views. It's
remarks on eugenics or dietetics are re.
garded as cute and worth hearing. I'm.
pudence and impertinence in many cases
pass for precocity and "smartness." But
even so, il is as Doctor Flexner has said.
Much good has come in with the new way
Of training children. 1t may be that
they lack some OF the shyness which was
the first qualification of the well-bred
child Of yesterday, but they have gained
in its place a confidence which, If prop
erly watched, does not necessarily de-
velop into annoying forwardness.
Certainly there are fewer crybabes
among tho modern children. This may
be attributable to the fact that mothers
now raise their children according to
scientific principles rather than according
to the old traditions. Even the slum
mothers have acquired a rudmentary
knowledge of food values and hygiene.
All of which you will say has nothing
whatever to do with manners But there
you are wrong. Good behavior in

of all, for it is another modern motion"
that all disobedience, stubbornness and
refractoriness can be traced back to some
physical ailment, and although the
mother of 25 or so years ago would have
laughed in your face had you told hsr
that her little Johnny was bad because
he needed his tonsils out, the mother of
today takes her offspring who is inclined |
to be n limb OF Satan to the family doc

more effective than the slipper or the |

Advice About Ice Water

DO you take ice water with your meals!
It isn't a good thing to do, but most people
do II in hot weather. 1t Is no more trouble
TO do the thing properly than II is to go
to the refrigerator and hew piece or ice
wash IL and put IL in the drinking water.
whatever your method, there Ia no doubt
about the fact that the general health of
the family during the warm weather de-
pends to n great extent on their methods OF
chilling ice water"
Water cooled by dropping ice into 1t Is
harmful. The reason Is apparent You
do not know whether the ice is pure or not,
Il ia certain to contain innumerable germs.
Freezing doesn't lessen their activity, 1t
suspends them temporarily, but just as
your water becomes icy, the Ice that made
1t so has thousands of freed germs, waiting
and anxious to do their deadly work
Chill the water do not ice It. Either dis
titled or boiled water that has been allowed
to cool is placed near the Ice in bottles and
allowed to chill One ingenious mother
who knows how the little folks like to make
ice water and suck the Ice, keeps her side
board supplied with vacuum bottle in
which she has boiled, chilled water. This
keeps the youngsters supplied with cool
water, but not icy water to upset their
digestons. 1t Is a bit of trouble but it's
health insurance.

TN A day when the old folks have raised
- their hands in an attitude Of holy
horror at ell things that pertain to the
modern child, It is gratifying to know
that so eminent man as DR.. Abraham
E1exner, Of the General Education Board
OF the Rockefeller Foundation, believes
the child Of the present day to be better
hammered than the product of bygone
age.
''The old-fashioned obedlent youngster
is gone" Doctor Flexner is quoted as say.
ing, but what we have got In his place,
in my opinion, is far better product. AS
/ look back on my own childhood and
remember the manners of my contempo-
raries I must say that the child of this
day, even my own children, have far bet
ter manners than had in my time.
''The educational system pays a great
deal of attention at the present time to
the teaching of real manners, and any
modern system of education which may,
TO the outside mind, upset the regular
routine of discipline will not result in
any deterioration of the childs manners
II the teachers proceed with the proper
respect for the dignity Of the individual
child"
Dignity of the individual child Shades
or our grandmothersl When in the old
days was youngster credited with hav-
ing any individuality, much less dignity?
Even those parents who were not quite
certain in their minds as to the wisdom
Of corporal punishment and who were
wont to spare the rod more often than
their neighbors approved Of brought
their children up with the belief that they
should be seen and not heard
In those days, though ones daddy said
black was white. to contradict him was
treason. Moreover. such contradiction
was fraught with grave consequences.
One or all of several catastrophes were
sure to descend upon him. There was
the prospect of severe padding, or of
being sent to bed without ones supper,
or of being shut UP in dark closet and
being scared half to death.
