Set in mould to cool and serve with either cooked or fresh fruit.
 SUGGESTIONS-AF FEW AT A TIME. Never use soap and water on var nished woodwork.
 Add little kerosene to the water to be used in washing windows.
 Pour a little kerosene into a clogged drain pipe and then pour boiling water To keep flies from entering a house brush the screen with kerosene. If grease spots are on floor soften them with cold water and soda before securing.
 When grease is first spilled on the floor if cold water is poured at once on the spot it will harden the grease at once and prevent it's soaking into the wood.

Where's the cook? Is supper ready, the house trimmed, rushes strewed, cob webs swept?"
 These identical questions meet the housekeeper even today, and there is no way for her to dodge her job. The only recourse she has, is to avail herself of every means of making things easier to equip her home with the conveniences of modern housekeeping and to invest her time wisely.
 We so often hear housekeepers say. "Breadmaking, or rather the process of having hot breads, is the most tedious job of making a meal In our south ern menu the biscuit is almost a three times a day necessity, and mixing the dough makes extra work. Our bread is an important part of our diet, and sue cess depends upon the quality of flour-a pastry or soft wheat flour makes the best biscuit-and I have learned after groan- ing a long time over the job of biscuit making, to make my dough only twice g. week, and have successful results. Using baking pound (no alum powder) with cold water, and mixing the needed quan- tity according to the demand Place dough in earthen vessel, grease well on top and keep in refrigerator When needed cut off as much dough as re- quired for the meal, work well, roll and
 
 idea how easy, and saving this is to a woman who cooks her own meals. Light bread should be made from hard, spring wheat and is equally as easy once you ''get your hand in'' as our colored cooks would say.
 have often been told if an apple IS kept in cake box, the contents will be kept fresh a. long time. I do know bread well wrapped and placed in a bread box will be fresh for several days and bis cult can be kept in the same manner.
 A quart of flour averages IS beaten bis- cults. and "A baking powder biscuits of the conventional size. and thickness. This may give you some idea of amounts to prepare for several days.
 If we were more accurate in our meas urements we would be better able to call culate on quantity and costs. From Mrs. Lily Haxworth Wallace, whose lessons in practical cooking are well remem- bered here, I have gathered the follow ing weights and measures, which may be useful in future service:

HOW CAN ONE MAN BE COUSIN TO FIVE WITHOUT EITHER OF THE FIVE
 BEING KIN TO EACH OTHER?

Some furniture dealers are so obsessed with the fear of unprofitable sales that YOU hear all manner of excuses for the prevalence of high furniture prices. The situation reminds me of story often told during my "railroading days of the tramp who bluffed the crew into letting him ride.
 First the brakeman discovered him and upon demanding that he get off was confronted with the business end of a six shooter. Not cherishing such an encounter he withdraws and goes to tell the flagman that there was fellow stealing a ride but that he was his cousin and he'd rather some one else would put him off The flagma,n starts arts cools off somewhat when he looks down the barrel of that Colts; So he decides be passed on to Jerry, the fireman: Well, Jerry met the same argument back there in that box car, and so told the engineer to go put This cousin off the train. And so it went on till every man of the crew except one, had been backed down by the tramp
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-16

Finally the conductor went to eject the hobo and having been quite sue cessful in such things decided that he'd just "call the bluff" We'll, he found, as he half expected, that the old gun wouldn't shoot and that the tramp. see ing his bluff wouldn't work, was as harmless as kitten, so off he went. During the past few months we've all heard a lot about soaring prices and aI alarming scarcity of this and that. and many furniture dealers have raised theil prices above all reason decided to cal the bluff and so said to the manufac- turers: 'If you can't ship me the right goods at the right prices, cancel my order" and as yet I haven't found t necessary to gouge my customers with high prices.
 At this big store you'll always fine in
 lowest prices and you'll always be served courteously and promptly. When you think is right, just come around tc w. O. Broyles, at 1914-16 Fourth Ave. and get the facts.

CONGRESS EXPECTED ID TAKE SUGAR OFF
 THE FREE LIST TODAY
Only Three Democrats Op- pose Administration Meas ure-Some Opposition Is
 Expected Before Vote

Washington, March 1.-The administra- tion bill to repeal the free sugar clause of the Underwood Simmons tariff law, which would take effect next May, came day and its passage is expected tomor- row.
 All of the opposition to the measure to- day came from three democrats, Represen- tatlves Bailey of Pennsylvania, Keating of Ohio and Van Dyke of Minnesota.
 MT. Bailey, who is regarded as Will liam Jennings Bryan's spokesman in the House, said it was true that the country needed the money to be derived from re- taining the present tariff on sugar, but that an economical expenditure of public funds would have made the proposed leg islation unnecessary. MT. Heating insist ed that the measure would mean the add ing of 1 cent pound to sugar to be di- vided '50-50 between the United States and the sugar trust" Mr. Van Dyke took similar position.
 Republican speakers twitted the demo- crats about adopting protective tariff measure. Representative Longworth of Ohio formally welcomed the democrats into the republican party. He said it was the first time in century that the entire membership of the ways and means committee had agreed on tariff bill.
 Representative Caller of Mississippi. in opening debate for the bill. explained that the change in economic conditions caused by the war made the repeal necessary.
 Further democratic attacks on the meas ure were expected before the final vote to- morrow.

RAILROADS HAVE
 DONE THEIR PART
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In your issue of today I see that the railroads have made the city two propo- sitions as to the Twenty first street via- duct. If the city expects more than is offered by the railroads. under what con- ditions could they demand it?
 This is not condition of the railroads making, but they propose meeting it, how ever. in a fair and equitable way. It now appears that it is up to the city commis- sioners to act and give to the people the relief that they have been asking for, as the railroads have shown their disposition to meet this condition on a broad and liberal line. Yours very truly,

REAL PREPAREDNESS
CONSERVE HUMAN LIFE

st. Louis.-President James, Uni
versity of Illinois, in an address be-
fore local business men, said the pre-
paredness which this country needs
Is to conserve it's greatest asset
human beings.
"a national economic policy" he
said, should be directed toward de.
veloping all the strength of our peo-
pie, individually and collectively, and
to the wise exploitation of our ma
tional resources.
The greatest asset of any people
is the human beings which make I'D
the nation. We must have a national
policy, directed toward preserving
the health of the women and children
OF the country by forbidding their en-
ployment under conditions preiu-
dicial to their health. We must ac-
company this by system of educa.
ton which will take adequate care of
the children thus driven out of the
industries and in many cases to the
streets, and fit them by proper train
ing, for the callings they wish to
follow.
I'VE must work toward a national
policy which will forever Danish that
constant and deadening fear of lack
of employment, inability to work
through accident or sickness, and
poverty arising from old age and
feebleness which rests like pail upon
such large percentage of our peo-
pie. We must organize and admin
lister a system of courts which will
obtain justice for the poor and de-
fenseless, as we'll as for the rich and
powerful.
Under no conditions should we let
The standard of life of the American
laboring men sink, and every effort
should be put forth to raise it.
"On the other hand, we must plan
Systematically to develop and train
our industrial, political and social
leaders. In no form of society are
such leaders more necessary than in
democracy"

The PITTSBURG REVOLT
FRIGHTFUL CONDITIONS


Until the new demand for labor, and
especially skilled labor, in the Pitts
burg district had arisen along with
the mad scramble of the mill owners
for war profits, the condition of the
great army of the workers in the
district had been firghtful. A survey
of a typical residence section of the
unskilled mill workers was taken very
recently under the direction of the
Rev. c. r. Zahnizer, secretary of the
Christian Social Service Union of the
500 Protestant churches of the Pitts
burg district This section is known
as the Strip 1t is in the heart of
Pittsburg 1t extends from Eleventh
street to Thirty-fourth street and lies
beween the Allegheny river and the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks. In the
whole of it there is only 81 of a
square mile and a little more than
half of it is occupied by great in
dustral plants, a big Carnegie plant
being one of them. In the less than
dwelling of the poor more than $4,000
persons live. An intensive study of
the half block between Smallman
street and Mulberry alley and be-
tween Thirty-first street and Thirty
second street showed 43 industrial
homes, of which 80 kept boarders. In
80 houses, containing 1T rooms, there
were 10 members of the several fam
lilies, and ia men boarders-a total
of 2S4 persons living in 1T rooms.
Eight families, each family living in
three rooms and keeping boarders,
averaged six persons to three-room
apartment.
From January 1, 1915, to September
Is, 1915, the average rate of wages
paid to the 1916 men living in that
half block was $1040 a week But
the average pay received by each Of
the 1856 men was only $4.66 a week,
as the men were given employment
for only four-ninths of the time.
Such terrible facts of brutalizing
poverty and oppression are entirely
ignored by the Westinghouse and
Steel Trust and other Pittsburg in
dustries who have been advertising in
the Pittsburg newspapers, that now
there are hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and millions of dollars, in
wages being lost to the workers of
Pittsburg because of the strikes. The
wage-earners remember the many
millions of wages they did not get
when the masters of the plants and
the tools kept them from work and
forced them to the most miserable
wages and to the terror of unemploy-
ment. You hear on all sides from
among the workers of Pittsburg the
expressed determination no longer to
permit their lives and their earning
power to be at the mercy of those
whose caprice or selfishness or in
capacity had subjected them to such
degradation and misery.
