Nor can we ever forget the women

cheers and words of appreciation, and
with aching but resolute hearts took
up their burdens.

that period. as in all the periods of
our history, when menace has come

devotion must ever embellish and
make sacted the history of those
times. Woman is the real heart OF
every family, and when death enters
and the family circle is broken. it is
her heart which suffers the deeper
anguish, and is torn by the most vio-
lent emotion. All honor to the women
of 1861.

deeds; who keeps alive the precious
stories of the past; who glories in
seeing her sons in the forefront of

Ways With Cranberries

When the fresh berries are gone
and the winter is upon US we well
come the ruby winter berry without
which the holiday table would be a
disappointment. Stewed and sweet
ened, then put through sieve, equal
parts of water added and then frozen
we have frappe which is most dain-
ty to serve with the turkey or goose,
duck or venison. The same amount
of cranberry pulp mixed with rich
milk, a little lemon juice and plenty
of sugar to sweeten, then frozen,
makes most delicious sherbet to
serve with any meat course.
Cranberry Bavarian Cream.-Stew
a quart of berries; while hot press
them through a sieve; to a half pint
of pulp add half cupful of sugar.
Soak quarter of box of gelatin in
quarter of cupful Of water, then
dissolve over hot water and add to
the cranberries. Turn into a bowl
and beat until cold and beginning to
rich milk and beat again; at the last
add cupful of whipped cream. Beat
well and mold.
Cranberry Conserve.-Wash three
quarts of berries and put to cook
with barely water to cover, cook un-
til tender, press through a sieve and
add to this pulp six pounds of warm
sugar, two pounds of seeded raisins,
and four large oranges; the oranges
should be finely minced discarding
the seeds. Cook until thick, then
turn into glass jars. To insure the
skins of the orange being thoroughly
cooked it is better to cook them sep
arately for an hour or two in clear
water.

Whither. Ah. WHITTIER?


Since November 7th, the liquor
rade press is asking "wither are we
drifting?" According to their no.
Jon it seems that we are drifting
through Italy to the Alps, through
he stars to difficulty, ETC., etc.
"The liquor trade of the United
States viii find little comfort in the
election returns Of November 7th,"
says Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Cir
cular "The election was a great
surprise and a great shock to the
trade. We have lost much ground.
We must not lose any more or we
shall be dangerously near national
prohibition. However vigorous have
been our efforts and however we'll
intentioned our methods, they have
failed to stem the tide or check the
advance of the prohibition move
ment."
According to Bonfort's the result
in Michigan was due to the activity
of "the leading manufacturers and
business of the state" and to the

And l said, Oh, thou fairest and

Thou hast given good advice to many

Speak to the men and woraen who
are married, who feel the Tug and
Grind and Monotony of Daily Life,
and who have Grown Commonplace
to Each other. And say to them,
Put on your Beautiful Garments now

other. Yea, let not the Romance die
out Of your married life, lest We

tremendous influence of daily pap
ers." The great automobile factor
les, according to Bonfort's, were a
unit against the business and this
was true largely in regard to other
big manufacturing lines. Bonfort's
also declares that the daily papers
of Michigan without an exception
advocated prohibition.
Foul Feeders
The liquor mail order house is the
foulest of the breed. They are eat
ers of everything. The saloon may
not victimize children or consume
the drunkard's Pickering remnant Of
life without breaking law. But the
dealer who hires Uncle Sam for two
cents to serve as his agent and soli-
citor is under no such restraint. The
blood of little girl or a high school
boy goes into his dish together with
the happiness and future of the
young married woman, who is induc-
ed by pictured lies to believe that
beer is a food and a tonic for her
nursing babe, that her husband is
absurd in his objections and there is
no reason whatever why she should
not avail herself of the kindness of
people who are glad to ship liquors
in packages made up to resemble
books or shoes.
These vile people walk the mails
as harlots walk the streets, Turing
the innocent and the ignorant to dis
ease and disaster and death.
