and Its Acceptance
War Department,
Washington, Feb. 10. 1915.

W dSIIIIIEIUI' It tU' tV' IVIV
My Dear Mr.. President:
am just in receipt of yours of
February 10, in reply to mine of
February Q. 1t is evident that we
hopelessly disagree upon what /
conceive to be fundamental prin-
ciples. This makes manifest the
impropriety of my longer remain
ing your seeming representative
with respect to these matters.
l hereby tender my resignation
as Secretary of War, to take effect
at your convenience.
Sincerely yours,
LINDLEY NJ. GARRISON.
The President.

In January the order of the year
brings about the making Of new I'M
dermuslins, house dresses, kitchen
aprons, and all the white work re-
Quired by the household and the house.
And in the annual January sales, all
over the country, of white goods, mer-
chants present the stocks of cotton
fabrics which they have assembled in
anticipation of the demand for them.
There is no better season in which
to buy cotton products than at the
beginning of the year.
There has been a steady advance
in the standard of quality in many
lines of cotton goods, and in the in
PRODUCTION of high-class novelties, the
mills are making a rapid progress.
A kitchen apron that may be made
of cotton crepe, as well as of the
usual percale or Bingham, is shown in
the picture, and hardly needs de-
scription. 1t covers the figure and
fastens at the back, unlike many OF
the late patterns. which fasten al
| one side. Blue is the favorite color
| for the apron of cotton crepe, and il
| Is finished with white braid bindings

"BIood and IRON"

What is the real origin Of the IA
nous phrase commonly believed to
have been used for the first time by
Bismarck? We all, of course, know
that in the Prussian diet of 1862 Bis
marck declared: The great questions
are to be settled, not by speeches and
majority resolutions, but by blood
and iron" The belief here avowed
remained with the chancellor to the
end. for in his Memoirs" he repeated
the declaration thus: I'VE could get
no nearer the goal by speeches, asso'
Citations, decisions of majorities; we
should be unable avoid serious con
test which could only be settled by
blood and iron" Bismarck. we may
assume, when first using the words
had in mind a familiar song written
during the war of liberation against
Napoleon by Max Won Schenkendorff
in which occur the lines:
Nur Eisen kahn uns retten
| Und erloSen kahn nur Blut!
| Only iron can save US, ana Dloot
alone can set us free"-a prophecy
the Prussian believes, fulfilled in thu
craftsmanship of Bismarck.
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1916-01-01

The chief claim to attention is based
upon the fact that this kind of apron
requires almost no ironing.
Although the subject of kitchen
aprons is not one to arouse a great
amount Of enthusiasm, it is not by
any means without interest. Many
aprons manage to be attractive, while
they cleverly fill all that is required
of them in the way of usefulness.
This means that they must cover the
figure. be plain and easily adjusted,
good looking and shc pely. They must
be neatly finished and provided with
at least one pocket and made OF ma
terial that will stand any amount OF
| Tubing.
All of the new aprons are made
with elbow sleeves except those that
are sleeveless. Very shapely and at
tractive models have a large bib at
the front of the body fastened by fiat
bands of the material to the belt at
the back. A favorite finish for all
edges is a fiat band of material in
contrasting color. All the fast col
ors are used with white, and striped
] effects prevail.

Cheese for Dessert.

1t is said that little cheese at the
end of a dinner acts as a digestive
agent, but whether or not this Is
true, no we'll appointed dinner is
without it. In many homes a bit Of
cheese with an accompanying fruit
or jelly, is used as dessert instead
of some pudding or pie. 1t is just a
sufficient finish to a family dinner
without dessert. If there is dessert,
the cheese is frequently served with
the salad, roquefort cheese with let
tuce or tomatoes. Connoisseurs do
not cut a roquefort cheese until it is
we'll advanced in decay and therefore
it is not we'll to set before a man of
this sort new bit of the cheese. 1t is
more advisable to leave it out alto
gether and give him brie or cheddar,
both Of which are favorite cheeses
with men.

Usina Sour Milk.

Very often sour milk is thrown away
because the ignorant cook does not
know how to make use Of it. Sour
milk may not only be used for biscuit
but for wafTles, gingerbread. cake Of
various kinds and even salad dressing
and ice cream, provided that it is prop.
erly sweetened with soda. Thick sour
milk requires the proportion of an
even teaspoonful of soda TO each pint
of the milk. Thin milk of which there
is less curd than whey, requires more
soda. The soda should always be well
dissolved in the milk or sifted into the
-four if ii is not to collect in Jumps
and show its presence.

PAVING Calls In Russia.

Town life in Russia is as different
as can be from life in the country dis
tricts. One curious custom is the after.
dinner call. People do not call on their
friends at tea-time, as we do over here
but after dinner at night. or even after
the theater, paying calls at midnight
being quite the thing to do. The Rus.
sian dinner always begins with side
board course of cold meats, hors
d'oeuvres, etc.; that is to say. the
dishes are laid out on the sideboard
and the guests help themselves before
sitting down to partake of the regular
meal. 1t is from this custom that we
derive the term service la Russo,
as applied to dinners at which the cary
ing is done from the sideboard.
