one cupful of chopped raisins and one
spoonful of flour. Mix all together

the yolks of two eggs. Bake as custard

Candied Charlottesville housewife
who likes to make candied fruits for
use in fancy dishes to be served on
special occasions next winter will do
well to include in her stock some can
died cranberries. The secret of pre-
pairing these successfully lies in slow
cooking and the use of a dish large
enough to permit all the berries to foat
at the top of the strip during cooking.
The skins should be pierced in three
Sits about an eighth of an inch long
before the berries are put to o Use
selected, large, firm berries. For one
and a half cupfuls make a thin strip
by boiling together until clear two cup
fuls of sugar and two and a half cup
fuls of water. When the sirup is cool
add the berries and bring very slowly
to the boiling point. If the berries are
heated too quickly the skins will burst
before the strip soaks into the pulp.
As soon as the strip boils take b
dish off the stove and let it stand over
night. Next day drain the strip from
the berries and boil it; then put back
the berries into this medium thick
strip and heat slowly. Boil gently for
three or four minutes and then allow
to stand for two hours or more. Then
boil gently a third time for five min
utes. A smaller dish probably will be
needed for the third and last boiling.
When thoroughly cold. or, better still,
on the following day drain off the sirup
and spread the berries ont on a lightly
buttered plate or a sheet of clean.
waxed or lightly buttered paper until
the surface of the berries dries.

In the Matter of E. Mercury House.

Respectfully and solely in the interest
of posterity, whose concern will neces-
sarily be great, The Tribune ventures to
ask its neighbor The Sun whether it is
not possible that it errs in ascribing to one
cf the most industrious of Americans the
title and translated glory Of Colonel
Magma Domus?
The subject being one Of utmost i'm
rortance, The Tribune confesses it has not
been able TO give to it the attention it de-
serves, but such study as we have made
inclines us to believe that the proper form
would be Domus Major, or, more famil-
iarly in the corrupted Frankish style,
Major DomO.
Regard being had for the peculiar ser
vices which this American is called upon
to render, services which range from those
cf translated butler TO those Of an accel-
Grated messenger boy, The Tribune sub
mits. again with every sentiment of re-
spcct for its neighbor's opinion, that his
tory may be better served and coming gen
erations more quickly and accurately in
formed of the mission Of this great man
if he is described in the printed page by a
title in keeping with his calling.
Colonel Magma Domus is a name which
after all, belongs primarily to Texas, while
+. Mercury House belongs to America, to
the world, at least to that part of the
world to be reached by messenger service
For itself The Tribune therefore prefers
Major Domus, to which may be added
Texicana or Americana, as posterity wills

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial Of the 27th inst, bear
ing the title "Viye la France,' is absolutely
cnc-sided, unfair. In cxalting the French
nation, the heroism, the value of the French
people, although all these praises be de-
served your article also denies history. And
/. a. a constant reader Of The Tribune, take
the liberty of showing you where it seems
70 me you arc wrong and where you show a
vivid sense of ungratefuneSs toward coun-
try to which the whole world owes a great
deal Of civilization.
I heartily cry "Vive Ia France" and keenly
wish Germans to quit French soil, the land
dear TO any liberty lover, the land that first
of all established the right of men. But that
does not mean that / believe the German a
beast, barbarian, unciyilized, Hun. No, sir,
Germany has a culture and a civilization
second 20 none
German miltarism invaded and destroyed
Belgium and France, brutal acts were COM
mi;ted, but you cannot blame tho German
people for IT, Miltarism must be blamed,
the psychology Of militarism in any country.
Remember, sir, the order posted in the Boer
cities during the Anglo-Boer war. Mr.. Cham
berlain's order, saying that unless the peo-
PIE surrendered TO the British, with whom
they had nothing in common, their cities
would be set on fire.
How DO you classify this? Civilization or
barbarism? ] call it neither the one nor the
ether, but mlitarsm.
Many people like you, are worrying about
German Kutur, and will rejoice in German
defeat on the assumption that it will pre-
vent Kultur from prevailing in the world
This is too ingenious. ! am quite convinced
that Germany will not win the war. bat Ger
man culture has won the world already.
Detesting German culture when the whole
world Of necessity acquired and applied it
is more than ungratcful. Let Us not forget
that the first and great revolution OF thought
happened IN Germany about three centuries
ago, ard that heretofore Germany has given
to the world large number of great men in
every branch Of social life to whom the world
is indebted DUILIO MASSACCESL

Sir: As a reader Of your Sunday Tribune, /
want TO congratulate you on the step you
have taken in exposing the fake advertising
that dishonest merchants in your city are
trying TO carry on. II is very gratifying TO
me an advertising manager myself, the
drastic means your publication has adopted in
not only protecting the readers of The Trib.
une, but the general public.
We are not as fortunate in our city as 10
have such newspaper as The Tribune. Hence
great deal Of deceptive advertising is car
ried on. At meeting o. the largest com
mercial club IN our state, at which ! am 20
speak az a future date, | shall mention the
fact that through your medium my own wife
was saved from falling into orc Of the traps
set through dishonest advertising.

you have undertaken. and trust before long
that all good, reliable publications viii follow
the good work you are now doing.

Jumping the Single Track.

Some Of the members of Mr.. Wilson's
Cabinet seem to have difficulty in keeping
on the single track-the track on which
the mind Of their revercd chief is accus-
toned to operate. Dispatches from Wash
ington say that Secretary Lansing is nego-
tiating with the representatives Of the
other American republics for the establish
ment Of a Pan-American League. One Of
the objects Of this league is to guarantee
the stability Of existing American govern
ments. According TO some forecasts Of
the plan the sale of munitions to revolu-
.ionists is TO be forbidden. According to
others an international court is to be
empowered to use an international con-
stabulary to suppress revolutions which 1t
does not consider justified
These ideas are praiseworthy in them
selves. They would make for order,
progress and civilization in many Ameri-
cam republics now prone to overnight reyo-
l.tions. But they certainly conflict with
the principle Of that great historical docu-
mcnt which Mr.. Wilson has recently been
eulogizius a. the true chart Of American
ism. In his speech at Columbus. Ohio
and again i'm his last message to Congress
he quoted from the Virginia Bill OF Rights

Gone Are the Days"

Those who dream Of the eventual resto-
ration of that famous Sullivan fixture, the
Christmas dinner for all comers, at
2O7 Bowery, will in all probability be dis
appointed. There are no more Sullivans,
except in name. In all of the East Side
can be found no one to fill the mighty
shoes of Timothy d., concerning whom the
outcast could always say: Big Tim is my
shepherd, shall not want
And not only is Big Tim" gone, leaving
10 likely successor, but so, largely, is the
day Of the shepherd in the city's politics.
His activities have met with discourage
ment at both ends, at the receiving end
10 less than at the point of disbursement.
Where is the jovial pirate Of politics TO-
day who in the manner of the departed
Big Fellow" can play poker "as if money
we're worth 10 cents a pound and he had
tons of it,? Echo answers "Where?'
That annual feed" with its concomitant
disbursement Of pipes and tobacco and
socks and shoes, shoes to "ft any foot III
/ the hearty Sullivan phrase, used to cost
Big Tim something like $4,000. accord
ing to report But that was before the
complete decline of the easy come, easy
90" era, when a true genius in his line
could still keep up appearances. And Big
Tim" was indeed a true genius.
As for the disbursing end. more proyi-
dent and prudent flock has gradually pop
uated the larger part Of the pastures Of
the clan. Lacking the same appealing de-
Ircndence it cannot be herded with the
same facility it does not respond single
mindedly to lareesse, its loyalty is ques-
tionabc. And who wants to stretch Il
purse for the unresponslve?
So the announcement that the dinner
will be given to-day carries no weight
with the discerning. One of Big Tins
lifelong cronies is authority for the
remark: "The Big Fellows Christmas

feasts for the Bowery and nobody to take
