LINEN SHOULD HAVE REST
Will Last Much Longer II Given an
Occasional "lay Orr for q
Short Time.

Bed linen TO last should not be used
every week, but should be la!d away
In chest every now and thea Tor
few weeks. This makes the lits Of the
linen twice its usual length Before
laying the linen away it skauld DO
thoroughly dried and aired QUAINT.
ties of lavender should be placed in
the chest and between the linen. This
will give not only a sweet and clean
scent to the linen, but will add to the
rest Of the individual who sleeps in q
bed spread with it, as the psycholo-
gists have discovered that the odor Of
lavender produces rest and quiet. Law.
ender should be used for bed linen
only and not for wearing apparel or
table or hand linen.
The rose scent, either in liquid form
or sachets. or the rose petals dried,
should be the odor of the hand linen
and the table linen, which should be
laid away for several weeks at a time
to "rest" in order to make the life
of the linen worth the original cost.
The scent of rose on the table linen
suggests the out-of-doors and gives
an impetus to the digestion through
the aid of the olfactory nerves. On
the hand towel, as it is passed over
the face, it tends to create energy and
activity, rather than rest or inaction.
There are many kinds of odor of rose,
and If one is not appealing to the
housewife, another will be.

WORD FOR THE ONION
VEGETABLE SHOULD HOLD HIGH
PLACE IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Without Doubt, It 10 the Best Of Al
Flavorlno Agents - Should Be
Soaked In Cold Water Before
Being Served Raw.

Onions, cabbages, turnips, carrots
what housekeeper does not tire of the
endless monotony Of the displays Of
these vegetables in the winter shops?
OF course. nowadays almost all Of 10
can afford dollhouse vegetables in the
winter. So cheap they are that they
are no longer treat. Nevertheless,
these old winter stand-bys are still
stand-bys for US. and the more We
know about cooking them temptingly
the better.
Onions have more possibilities, per.
haps, than any of the others, for
onions are one Of the best havoring
agents. And the number of times .
week onions can be successfully used
depends almost wholly on the ingenu.
lty Of the cook.
For flavoring salads, either rub the
dish in which the salad Is mixed with
half an onion or else place tiny piece
Of onion under little piece of bread.
In this way the flavor of the onion per-
meates the whole dish and yet the
salad does not come into direct con-
tact with it.
Onion juice or grated onion can be
used in flavoring soups and stews
when a strong favor of onion is not
desired. And If only slight flavor is
liked, parboil the onion before adding
It to the stew or soup.
When raw onions are served soak
them beforehand for an hour in cold
water. This moderates their flavor
and really improves them immensely.
The sharp taste is lacking and only
the best of the onion flavor remains.
Many persons who do not like raw
onions do like them cooked, and al.
most nobody finds cooked onions in
digestible-raw ones cannot always be
digested. Moreover, cooked onions
contain desirable food properties and
are an important item in the winter
diet.
One delicious cooked onion dish is
prepared from onions boiled tender
and put in a buttered baking dish,
with grated cheese over, under and
between them. A little milk is added
and the dish is baked until the cheese
IL melted.
Another good onion dish is made
from boiled onions, placed in a but
tered baking dish, covered with cream
sauce and sprinkled with grated
cheese and bread crumbs. This should
be Drowned in the oven.
Plain boiled onions served with
! melted butter and pepper and salt are
good. They should be cooked tender
md served very hot.
Onion soup, too, is good unless one
really dislikes the onion flavor. On
Ions are boiled to pieces in water and
this water, strained, is then mixed
with hot milk, seasoned and lightly
thickened. 1t is served very hot with

to have New England bolt and join
Canada were all of Plymouth Rock
stock, and an Irishman, who got next,
gave away the snap to the president
in Washington and checkmated the
Puritan conspirators.
Those who shot at the flag at Fort
Sumpter and raised the flag of treason
were all native Americans.
There is no record Of any great ACT
of treachery by citizens of foreign
birth.
John Randolph of Virginia, the great
Democratic senator, the great uncle OF
Mrs. Gait, who is now the wife of our
esteemed president, said this, in an
swering the Knownothings: II have
seen white blackbird and have heard
of black swans, but I have never
seen or heard of an 1rish-born citizen
of this Republic who was a traitor to
the American flag or an enemy of our
institutions"
1t is our opinion that men who
come here from Europe and swear to
the oath of allegiance are, generally
speaking, as loyal as any American
of Revolutionary stock. They have
been attacked before now and they
have survived and prospered and vim
dicated their citizenship.
No good can come to statesmen OF
politicians who raise this false charge
against them, and to do so is to stir
up rancor, hatred and discord among
the vast citizenship of which the for
eign-born" men are an important and
powerful element.

THE BIRTH RATE AND THE FU
TURE OF NATIONS.

From the London Catholic Times.
The Germans are at present devot-
ing much attention to the birth-rate
question, knowing that whatever the
results Of the war may be the future
of nations will be decided by the
growth or decline of their populations.
Comparing the growth of the German
population with that of Russia, they
are alarmed. Whilst Russia's popula-
ton between 1897 and 1912 increased
by forty-seven millions, the increase
in Germany during the same period
was only twelve millions. The Rus
sian increase was nearly four times
as great as the German.
Theodor Masaryk, an Austrian sta
tistician. has calculated that in the
year 1000 the population of Italy, now
thirty-five millions, will be fifty-eight
millions; of France, now thirty-nine
millions, sixty-four millions; of Aus
tria-Hungary, now fifty-one millions,
VI uOW
thirty-six and half millions, one
hundred and forty-five millions; of
Germany, now sixty-five millions, one
hundred and sixty-five millions; and
of Russia, now one hundred and sew
enty millions, four hundred millions
in Europe and five hundred millions
afraid of being so outnumbered in
the years to come that they will be
unable to hold their own against the
Slavs, especially as the tendency of
the German birth rate for some time
past has been to decline. They are
taking measures to prevent the de-
cline. France and Great Britain would
be we'll advised TO do likewise.

How to Split a Short Cake.

Almost every housewife knows how
troublesome it is to split either short
cake or a loaf cake without having IL
heavy and soggy, and especially is
this so when the cake is hot. I man.
age in this way: AS soon as the cake
is taken from the oven make a slight

one end in each hand I draw the

When the practical quality steps in,
Elusive chic. they say, steps out. This
may be true when the idea of the
practical is carried to an extreme. We
have learned, however, to add a touch
of trimming here, and a note of color
there; to slash a sleeve, or band a
skirt in way that quite overcomes
the predominance of practical over
chic and preserves both.
