VEGETABLE RECIPE BY UNCLE
SAM-ONION CHOWDER
BY Biddy Bye

Nearly every vegetable may be
cooked so that with plain bread and
butter it may form a paIatabIe course
by itself, if it is desired, advises one
of Uncle Sans expert cooks. Some
such dishes, as onion chowder, make
excellent "one-dish" luncheons or
dinners. The recipe:
Three quarts boiling water, pint
minced onion, quart potatoes cut
in dice, 8 teaspoons salt, p teaspoon
pepper, 8 tablespoons butter or sa-
worry dripping, 1 tablespoon dried
herbs.
Cook the onion and butter togeth-
er half an hour, but slowly, so that
the onion will not brown. Add the
boiling water, potatoes, salt and pep
per and cook one hour longer, then
all the dried herbs and serve with
toast.
Where there's a will there's a lot of
sqUabbling relations.

Of the Woman's party and will take

POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FUND.

The plan adopted by Cornelius ".
Bliss, Jr., treasurer Of the Republican
National Committee, to raise money
for the campaign and increase the
force of active workers for the cleo
tion Of Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar MERIT MIR.
Bliss asks every one who favors the
election Of Mr. Hughes and wishes him
to have the support of a Republican
Senate and House 10 contribute $40
and become sustaining member of
the Republican party. All such will
receive certificate of membership.
That the money viii prove a good in
vestment is patent. 1t win help to Sc
cure for the country a more efficient
administration of our national affairs.
which is necessary If the prosperity
and influence of the nation Is to con-
tinge.
There are at least 100000 Repub-
leans, but how many Of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con-
sciousness that they have voted or
will vote the Republican ticket? The
work Is done by few and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer. Mr..
Bliss plan offers a cure for that con-
dition. Help the cause and get q GER
tificate of membership that will estab-
fish your party utilization. It is not
expected that ali the 100000 Repub-
licans will give $40 each, but II a
goodly number who can AFFORD 1t do
so there will be great many more
able to give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success win
mean to the country in fullest measure
preparedness, protection and perTna-
nent prosperity.
