Whatever the outcome of the con-
troversy over Governor Brumbaugh's 5
reappoin -ment of officials rejected by
the State Senate, it is commendable
that both sides have agreed upon a
plan which will protect the depart
ment employees affected from an in
active payroll. So Ions as the busi-
ness of the State proceeds in the usual
way, the legal scrap over the main
issue can take its course.

THRIFT AND
PARDNESS

New York, N. Y-America will be
the first nation in the world to rewrite
her text books so that the children of
this country will be taught thrift in
the school room. According to an an
nouncement- made today by the Thrift
Education committee of the National
Education association, radical innova-
tons in the American school curricula
are to take place.
The lives of James J. Hill, Marshall
Field, JOHN Wanamaker and other
great American business men will be
studied in the schools, and text books
on arithmetic, history, English COM
position, domestic science and house
hold economics will be subjected to
radical changes. For the first time in
the history of the world, thrift and per
sonal efficiency will be given scientific
consideration in the class room. Not
the narrow thrift of mere money saw
ing but the broader thrift of individ-
ual preparedness for practical life
will be taught, declares the commit
tees statement.
This is the sweeping significance of
the resolutions adopted by the Nation
al Council Of Education at its meeting
in Portland last week. The resolu-
tons were written and presented by
S. W. Straus of New York, President
of the American Society for Thrift.
They point out that on account of the
war America must from now on elm
mate waste of every character; that
President Wilson's first message to
the public after the declaration Of war
was on thrift; that the only way to
safeguard the economic future of the
nation is through better understand
ing of thrift which can be made pos
sible only through the school room and
that at the forthcoming meeting Of
the Council Of Education in Atlanta,
Georgia, the school organization will
be expected to have before it a COM
prehensive plan for the practical stu
dy Of thrift in the schools of America

CANNED TOMATO
SAUCE OR PURGE

Washington, D. C.-Since the to-
matoes contain very high percentage
of water, it often is desirable to can
only concentrated tomato products.
This is true especially when cans or
jars are difficult to obtain. A delicious
concentrated tomato sauce may be
made and canned as follows, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Small or broken tomatoes and
large tomatoes unsuitable for canning
whole, may be used in this recipe.
Cut the tomatoes into fairly small
pieces and add one large-sized onion
chopped and one cup chopped sweet
red pepper to one gallon tomatoes.
Cook until tender Put through a
sieve and add a mixture of 1-3 salt
and 2-3 sugar in a proportin of one
teaspoonful to each quart of mixture.
Cook until the consistency of ketchup,
stirring constantly. Pack hot into
sterilized jars or bottles. Adjust rub
Der and cap, place the containers on
false bottom in a vessel of water
sufficiently deep to reach almost to
their tops and allow to remain at
boiling temperature for Is minutes.
Remvoe jars from the water bath and
tighten the lids Immediately.

l9l7PRISCILLAS
ARE WANTED

Madison, Wis.-Three centuries ago
dainty Priscilla Mullines became the
bride of the writer, John Alden, and
rode on a white OK to the log house
he had built in the Massachusetts
wilderness. The course of true love
had not run smooth in Priscilla's case.
Miles Standish, the doughty warrior
who had saved the Plymouth Colony
from the Indians, had wanted her to
take the place of his lovely Rose,
who had died soon after the Pilgrims
landed. He was warrior among men,
but "afraid of a maiden's eyes," and
he had sent John Alden, his friend, to
do his proposing for him
Longfellow describes it in his poem,
'The Courtship of Miles Standish"
Priscilla waited in maidenly modesty
until Alden had sung the praises Of
his friend, and then whispered. "Why
don't you speak for yourself, John ?"
Evidently, John did, because Stand
ish, who had been reported killed by
the Indians, appeared just in time to
attend the wedding.
That was 800 years ago. Today
Priscilla Standish Alden, Is years old
and just as dainty as her grandmother
ten generations removed, is enrolled
with the first unit of Health Aides at
the Milwaukee County hospital.
Priscilla Standish Alden is the
daughter Of Arthur Alden of Lady
smith. The family history goes back
in direct male line to the log house
which John Alden built for his bride.
The family traditions have lived
through three centuries, and the Pris-
ella of 1917 is just as brave and just
as ready to sacrifice herself as the
beautiful maiden of Plymouth" Pris-
ella Mullines nursed the sick during
the dreadful winter which carried off
half the Plymouth Colony. Her par
enty and only brother died of the ''fe-
yer" that winter, but when an oppor-
tunity came to return to England the

Four Days OF Harness Racing Includes TWO
$4,000 Stakes-Professional and State Auto

pace will be raced, and on Thursday,
milwaukee Day, the $4,000 Chamber of
Commerce stake for 2 IL trOtters and
the $1,5OC Free-for-au pace will be star
events
Although harness racing at the Wis
cOnsin State Fair has attained a high
plane and Is easily of Grand Circuit
caliber, 1t remains for this years Fair
to present the banner program of lis
'sixty-seven years OF history. The great
Fair is able to accomplish this because
members of the Chamber OF Commerce

have guaranteed the two big $1,000
stakes.
Many trotters and PAGERS will come
from the Grand Circuit to compete for
money hung up at the State Fair, and
the Milwaukee track Is the only west
eern track that will see these horses
this year.

by Bob Burman in the famous Bitten
Bentz. Disbrow believes he can clip
a fraction of a second off this mark if
weather and track are ideal.
Citizens of Milwaukee have asked
that DtsbrOw make an effort to lower
the track record after the harness rae
ing program has been concluded on
Milwaukee Day, and perhaps this re-
quest will be granted.
