COUNTRY GRUB

avoided if people would return to
simple habits and old fashioned
country grub.

house-keepers. Instead of Dreaming
Irish potatoes and candying sweet
potatoes before sending them TO
the table, just have them piping hot
lin their jackets as cooking teach
ers say, and allow each person to
eat them as he prefers, seasoned to
suit his own taste.
A sweet potato is one rnIng that
can be very slightly improved by
flavoring. When one is good enough
to eat it can harmonic with but

only time to use sugar on a sw Get

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
PROF. IGNATIUS L. GAMBLER

Rio Grande, Tex, Dec. 10, 1916
Woodrow Wilson'S last election was
the final realization of Jefferson's
dream and the fulfiliment of his
prophesy viz: That Sin the final
Struggle Democracy MOULD prevail
over the powers of Capitalization
and special privileges, combined
with all the malconteni elements
in our government. The prophesy
is fulfilled. Since 1912 there has
bean no Republican party except
Roosevelt, he has dictated their
every move, and ruled them with
the absolutism of a Gar. He or
ganized with more tact and ex scut-
ed with more force than did War
wick, the King maker. But, thank
God, the spirit of Thomas Jeffer-
son, John C. Calhoun, Jefferson Da-
Wis, land Bob Toombs was strong
enoug to overcome all other forces
combined. The masses of the peo-
pie, regardless of section and for
mer political affiliation have seen
the fallacy of protection and the
iniquity of special privilege, and
given both death-blow. They
have also seen that Capitalization
always leads to a throne, and what
ever differences may exist among
them, the masses of the American
people will never have a King. The
firm solid South is now united with
the progressive, rapidly growing
West, combination that win last
forever. The egotism of the moth
eaten East can no longer prevail,
and, for the first time in it's MIS-
tory, our government is, in reality,
a Democracy

she always was-a nation of pious

better man than Caranza. He is a
