SOME OF TIE OLD ATIppLEs"
Early Housekeepers Had Many Re-
eIpes That Have Been Handed
Down to Postcrity.

Whether there will be a revival dur
ing the next few years Of the domestic
art of making wine is a matter of pure
conjecture, but It is interesting TO
recall that formerly many common
things that grow around us were util-
lied by thrifty housewives in the pre-
paration of 'tipples" that were more
or less mild or more or less potent.
Generally the wine-making potentiali-
ties of these things are little thought
OF now, and in most homes, even in
country homes, wine-making processes
have been forgotten.
Reference has recently been made
to the making Of dandelion wine, a
sweet and potent wine prepared with
the aid of the golden flowers of the
dandelion. Elderberry wine and elder
flower wine we're made in most of the
rural homes in the Potomac country
a generation or so ago. Blackberries
we're gathered industriously by the
children for conversion into jam and
wine OF cordial, and raspberries were
especially sought after that wine could
be made from them. It is probable
that in the minds Of elderly persons
today there is preserved better men,
DRY of raspberry vinegar than OF rasp-
berry wine, for II was popularity be-
lieved that raspberry vinegar was SUI
perior to that made from apples.
In cherry time the fruit was treas
ured because it could be preserved or
converted into a familiar tipple called
cherry bounce" drink which at GER
tain stages of it's "aging" or develop
ment was. exhilarating and intoxicat-
ing.
The favor Of gcoseherry wine was
known and esteemed by most of the
grandmothers and grandfathers of
present Washingtonians.
On all the old farms there was a
little distillery, though on some farms
it was not so little, just as there was
an icehouse and a smokehouse, where
the peaches and apples and grapes
could be distilled into fruit brandy.
Cider-making was a ceremony, and
in the late fall when frost had pinched
and somewhat shriveled the persim-
mons a strange potation called per
simmon beer was made.
Parsnip wine was made by British
housewives before emigration to
America set in, and the art of making
this wine was brought over by the
early immigrants. There was also in
colonial times in America a drink
which was called peppermint wine, or
liqueur.

NOT AN EASY THING TO DO

A certain old fellow is as well
known for his dry humor as for his
success in rearing canaries. Singing

in the district, and "Old Sans

Food That Doesn't Show Dirt.

One day I visited a delicatessen
shop to ask the owner to cover the
food. His reply was: Il can't keep
all my food in glass case" A survey
Of the store showed me that he had
a glass case in which he had carefully
placed all Of his canned goods, while
on the top of the case there was a
display Of salads and cooked meats.
/ asked him why he didn't reverse
the situation and he said, Il hadn't
thought Of it." Probably he hadn't,
but to my mind came this thought:
Canned goods would have to be busted
every morning, but mayonnaise and

90 WAD SOME POWER. "

at Allen county when il editorially re-
ferred to Thurman B. Dixon as an
imprisoned orator from back
county" While it is true we may be
among the hills and boot owls, but we
have never disgraced the Common
wealth or maligned the honor of
political party by having produced
anything like Barksdale Hamlet
Neither do we house criminals who
stand charged with the murderous
ambushing of a sheriff. While you
live in an enlightened section and in
the very heart of the "Pennyrile,
the blood-stained history of Christian
county is a vivid reminder of the
the Dark Ages.
80 wad some power the giftie
gle us,
To see ourselves as others see u.s."
Christian county is not ashamed of
its reputation anywhere, if we may
except its rather bad habit of some
times going Republican. The unkind
criticisms of Mr.. Hamlet by a politi-
cal adversary evidently much preiu-
diced, have no proper placein this dis
cussion. AS to the homicide referred |
to, the men charged with the crime
are of the race that supplies something
ke of 5000 OF the Republican votes
I the state. Moreover the ne
groes have been 'harbored" while
under penitentiary sentences that the
court of appeals saw fit to reverse.

ROOSEVELT CROSSED HUGHES is GOSSIP
AMONG NEW YORK POLITICIANS
BY N. b. COCHRAN.

New York, Oct. 12.-PoIiticaI news
here is of two kinds bunk that
is given to the newspapers for effect
on the public and what men actu-
ally think. A few weeks ago both
sides were up in the air. They knew
nothing, but pretended to know
much. And both were scared. Now,
however, the Wilson supporters have
perked up and Hughes partisans are
down in the mouth. Some of the
disappointment as to Hughes is Bit
ter. He has failed to ring the bell.
One inside story is that Hughes
thinks Roosevelt doubIe-crossed him,
while Roosevelt feels that Hughes is
the dOUble-crosser. The story runs
that Roosevelt was led to believe
Hughes would advocate T. R s poll
Cies on vigorous Americanism and
jump on the hyphenates, and is sore
because the judge hasn't come
through.
On the other hand, before making
his first speech in Maine, T. R. sub
mitted it to Hughes and the G. o. P.
national committee and both o. X
it, Hughes even wrote a telegram
approving the T. R. speech, to be
sent right after it was delivered.
Then T. R. went to Maine and didn't
deliver the speech he showed
Hughes, but cut loose with some
thing different. The Hughes telegram
went through according to schedule,
although the speech it approved
wasn't delivered. So Hughes is sore
and thinks he was dOuble-crossed.
Another body blow to the Hughes
clan was the interview Pres. Lovett
of the Union Pacific gave a New
York paper, coming out strong for
Wilson. He damned the Adamson
8-hOUr bill as a mistake, but said Will
son ought to be reelected on the
rest of his record anyhow.
The editor of one of the strongest
Republican papers in Ohio said to

lily carry Ohio. Other Republicans
who won't talk for publication tell
me privately they can't see where
Hughes has chance.
The party committee managers
are at sea and don't know just how
to work. Reports come to them that
the people are not f1ocking to either
the Republican or Democratic meet
ing, but seem to have their minds
made up and their mouths closed. 1t
seems like a nOnpartisan election,
with a chance for split tickets in
strongly Republican northern states.
Wilson is figured very much stronger
than his party.
Advices here are that there will be
a divided GeTman-American vote in
Ohio, many Germans going to Will
son on patriotic grounds and be-
cause of the belief that some of the
loudest talking hyphenates are play
ing politics with the German vote
and misrepresenting these Ameri-
cans of German birth or ancestry
who love their native land all right,
but don't hate the land of their
adoption.
.-Shrewd bettors who bet to win and
not on sentiment have been feeling
for the drift, and of late the drift to-
ward Wilson has been pronounced.
The peace issue is stronger than the
war issue. The working class appears
to be more solid than ever before in
a presidential election and Hughes
is getting nowhere in attempting to
make the workers believe that an
8-hour day isn't an 8-hour day.
Business itself isn't scared. Some
timid ones fear competition after the
war and want a high protective tar
ig. But others feel that with a good
tariff commission the tariff will be
scientific in the future, rather than a
political issue. Even as to the 8-hour
day, some business men look at. it
philosophicaIy and say it is sure to
