Getting Out the Votes.

The League of Republican State
Clubs is very active this year. as in
past campaign years. in the matter of
getting out the District vote. OF course.
there is no voting here, but it is esti
mated there are some $1,000 men and
women in Washington employed in the
government service who have retained
their legal residences in their home
states 1t is these potential voters that
Mr.. Townsend and the league are ear
nestiy trying to send home to vote the
republican ticket. Mr.. Townsend said
that the league was instrumental in
getting some 5000 voters to go home
and vote four years ago. This year, he
said, even more vigorous efforts are
being made to get the District voters
out than in the past.
The league. in conjunction with the
republican state committee of the Dis
trict, has opened large and commodious
headquarters in the Maryland building.
14l0 II street, and there the repub-
1icanS and voters in the District can OBJ
tain campaign literature, the informa-
ton they desire regarding the dates Of
registration and voting, the rates which
the railroads will allow voters desiring
to go home to vote. and the necessary
certificates which must be filed out and
presented to the railroad ticket Offices
in order to enable the voters and their
families to take advantage of the re-
duced rates allowed.

The issues in the campaign are to be
discussed by republican speakers for
the benefit of the department employees
at the lunch hour each day, beginning
next week, according to announcement
made last night by T Lincoln Town
send. president of the League of Re-
publican State Clubs.
"of course. our speakers cannot &c
into the department buildings to ad-
dress the employees, said Mr.. Town
send, but they will speak from auto
mobiles drawn up just outside the
buildings. There will be an open air
talk of this kind outside each one of
the departments. Boys with sandwich
signs will advertise the time, place and
topic of the address each day. In this
way we expect to reach many of the
voters who are employed in the de-
partments, and whom the league is DO
ing all in its power to persuade to go
home and vote for Hughes and Fair
banks. The tariff. the so-called eight
hour law and other issues OF the cam
paign will be discussed"

EXPERIMENT WITH RECIPES.

Some good cooks cook without written
recipes. Indeed, they cook largely by
guesswork-by ''instinct"-for they don't
seem to carry definite recipes in their
minds. They make cake with little su-
gar creamed with enough butter. with
some milk added, and enough -four. bak-
ing powder. salt and f1avorng, to make
the right mixture. How they do it is be-
yond the ken of the cook who depends
on recipes. written definitely.
Supposing that you are one of those
who follow recipes. Even so, you should
never be content until you have expert
mented with the various recipes you use
You can give delightful variety to the
dishes you prepare if YOU vary them in
preparation. And more than that. you car
utilize whatever you have on hand in
the way of supplies. Besides. you will
gain confidence and interest In cooking if
you follow the recipe-tampering idea.
For instance, take n recipe for plain
layer cake. You can, some day, add half
a cupful of cocoa to it, sifted with the
sugar and flour. to make a chocolate
cake. Bake it in a flat, square sheet,
frost it with white icing. and the result
will be delicious. Another day, add spices
to taste, with raisins and Currants, and
bake the mixture in patty-cake tins. Still
again, add chopped nut meats and citron
and bake in a shallow loaf.
And with a good mutfln recipe, add cold
cooked cereal. any that is on hand, to
the mixture to give variety. Or use half
graham or whole wheat -four to give va
riety
With soup, use whatever is on hand
If you have a recipe for soup calling for
carrots, and no carrots are on hand, use
tomatoes Or substitute green peppers
for celery Change and vary, and you
will soon learn what variations and
changes are good to make.
Spices, too, can be interchanged. Some
times use cinnamon in a pudding calling
for nutmeg, and use nutmeg on cinnamon
bread-and change the name, of course,
to fit the spice.
All these variations, and many more
that will suggest themselves, will en-
large your cooking knowledge and will
give greater variety, which is to be de-
sired, in the dishes you set forth.

The aspect is believed to be espe-
cially good for persons born under
Scorpio between October % and No

fulness and enterprise is believed to
be promoted.
There is an encouraging sign for

Journeys on the water are favorably
directed under this configuration.
The sway is kindly one for those
who seek poetic inspiration or psychic

The Moon is in a sign held to pro-

Honor for a former President of the

The loss of a great fortune is pre-
saged by the stars. This NAV be due
to a fire or destruction of property
