PARTY SUFFRAGE RECORDS
Only Democratic congressman Appeal
ed Ger Action.

Congressman c. c. Dill, of Wash
ington, cites the records of the COM
mittee hearings on suffrage in Con
gress to prove that "the only Congress-
men who have gone before the Judi
ciary Committee of Congress this year
to ask that suffrage amendment be
voted upon have been Democratic
members" He adds that mo others
have appeared to ask for considera-
ton of the measure. That Is, l think,
sufficient answer to any claim that
the Democratic Party opposed Woman
Suffrage"
This record need only be supple
mented with the personal voting his
tory of the rival Presidential candi-
dates to show who is the real friend
of suffrage. President Wilson made
two trips from Washington to New
Jersey to register and vote for Woman
Suffrage when 1t was submitted in his
State. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble to register or to vote the
same year-1915-when the suffrage
amendment was submitted in his
state.

1t is going to prevail. and that is

the women have seen visions of duty.

SUFFRAG|STS CERTAIN

Western women who have had the
ballot equally with the men for several
years resent the interference of one of
the factions of suffragists and the at
tempt to turn the suffrage cause into
an adjunct of the Republican party.
They believe they know how to vote
without being told by women who
never had the vote; and they refuse to
turn against the Democrats who have
done so much for their cause in their
respective states.
This attitude Is brought out clearly
in an interview by NiXola Greeley
Smith, nationally prominent as
writer on the staff of the New York
World, with Mrs. Alexander Thomp-
son, Democratic National Committee
man from Oregon, and Mrs. Theresa
NJ. Graham of Occur d'Alene. Idaho.
"One would think" observed Mrs.
Thompson to Miss Greeley Smith.

To Freshen Stale Lard

Kindly advise me through the Corner if 1t is possible to do something to freshen stale lard, so 1t may be used. c. F.'
 I have seen two methods tried for this purpose, both, of which were successful. In each case the lard was not really ran cid-only decidedly on the way to that bad end. Wash and wipe and dry in the range small pieces of charcoal, about the size of walnut. Tie each in the thin nest lace or coarse muslin you can get, and put four to each pound of the lard as soon as this last is melted and before it is hot. Then bring slowly to the boil and remove from the fire. Leave the char coal in the kAttle for five minutes set ting the kettle in hot water to prevent cooling and hardening. Then, with a spoon take out the charcoal bags and put four in the bottom of each quart jar in which the lard is to be kept As the lat ter begins to form, pour upon the little bags, and when it is cold cover with waxed paper, then with the top of the jar. The charcoal will not discolor the lard. Be careful not to break it in tying it up. Drop bits of raw potato into the lard as soon as it melts and cook in it for five minutes. As the lard cools, re- move the potato.
