WHEN TO DRY HERBS.

Herbs are in perfection just before Towering, when they are full of juice. Gather them on dry day and re- move all dust and grime. Gut off the roots. spread the stalks on broken paper laid in a fiat pan, and dry the herbs in the oven.
 Unlike vegetables and fruits. herbs are better for rapid drying, as more o1 the strength and flavor are pre- served. They require careful atten- ton to see that they do not burn and should be turned very often. When perfectly dry take the leaves from the stems and rub the leaves to a powder Place in a bottle and cork tightly.
 Sage, marjoram. thyme, sweet basil and tarragon all dry most satisfaetor fly and make most delicious flavorings for soups or dressings.
 Basil is fit for drying about the mid dle or the last of August; cherril in June and July: marjoram the last of July; thyme July and August; mint June and July; parsley in June. July and August; sage in August, Septem- Ter and October; summer savory, Au- gust, and September; tarragon. June, July and August.

RECIPES.


 Batter Bread.-This batter bread re- cipe was used by a famous southern housekeeper' in the days when eggs cold for 22 cents a dozen and milk
 It. is literally southern Spoon bread" and is usually mashed on the plate and eaten with plenty of butter.
 Boil one quart of sweet milk and pour over one pint of we'll sffted white meal. Be careful to have the batter very smooth and free from Jumps. Add five eggs. we'll beaten, a dessert spoon of butter, light teaspoon of salt and bake slowly in deep pan. It must be served in the same pan in which 1t cooked.
 Drop Muf5us.-The inelesanr name for corn bread muffin, dropped, in the south is scratch back" probably because the top or back presents q sketchy and scratchy appearance. drop muffin Is one of the best break fast breads for children as we'll as grOwnups.

MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THEM.

Following closely upon the raidins of the headquarters of the I. w. w
 throu ghout the country has come the
 arrest of not only many members of
 that organization. but of many aliens who are faboring in our midst for the advancement of the cause Of the cen tral powers. The rounding up of such people, whether they are members of the I. W. W. sympathizers herewith or alien enemies means a step in the right direction for the putting down of the great amount of work which has been going on for the purpose Of embarrassing this nation and advanc- ing the interests of the enemy. The need of such a move has long been recognized. Slyly and persistently have these people been working to cripple and offset the war prepara- tions which the United States has been making. Some have been doing 1t in one way and some in another but all with the same general purpose, and the seriousness of it all is re- fected in the recent announcement that a number of army officials on disloya1 by giving information or in tral powers.
 patriotic and lawless individuals are allowed to have their way this under handed work will go on. It is time therefore that they were brought to the bar of justice and taught a lesson which will have good effect upon any others who may be similarly inclined.

LETTERS TO THE EolTo7
Some Questions.

 Mir Editor: How can A. W. Davis write as he dces if he has no interest either financial or friendly in fhe liquor business? I wonder If he has ever before written a warning con- cerning patent medicines and drugs in other forms. Has he waited until just before a vote on the license question. to show his solicitude for humanity
 I do not know the man. He may be a philAnthropist. but see nothing in his letter of Sept. 25 to indicate such a thing.
 He says if town wide. state wide. or nation wide prohibition means opening the door to a far worse evil than the saloon. etc"
 Such an "ift"
 Would we fear to have a mad dog killed because we might get bitten by some other dog?
 Let us have the mad dog killed next Monday and then work ali together to protect our homes and our chill dren from all dangerous dogs.
 Probably most Christian people re- alize that there will be great work to be done after the saloons are closed
 Cannot we make better headway doing constructive work when there is one less beast doing the destructive work? A LATER OF THE RUM TRAFFIC

Views of the Vigilantes
Today. By Ralph Barton Perry of The vigi- lautes.
oday.


 By Ralph Barton Perry of The vigi-
 The thrilling thing about the pres .ent Is the possibility of getting scme- thing done. Who has not at some time felt the brutal, insolent inertia of things as they are? Who has not hurled himself against the system of his day, only to be thrown back, bruised and bleeding, and with despair b1e to move mountains. The old world, which we hAee mistaken for eternity, Is in Aux. It is molten lava: we can dig channels and direct It's flow, we can pour it into moulds. Now is the time for your ideals. Whatever is stamped into the world now will be its character in the time to come If, now. Whether there shall be more or less of it in the succeeding age or whether it shall be crowded out, or spread wide among the nations, de- pends on what you do now. The men of this time will never have their chance again.
 Today there is not only an oppor- unity for you, the rare opportunity, to do the big thing. to give some drive and carry to our lives. In a certain sense life is always the same thing over and over again. We collect a lit- tie energy, and then give it out: we earn a little money and spend 1t: we acquire appetite, and then satiate 1t: we grow tired, and then we rest. All life follows these cycles. on what is sense that 1t Is all worth while; otherwise we are likely to feel that there is something fatuous and ridi- culous about this everlasting see-saw,

RUTTONHoLES,

In family of small children there are a great many button holes to be raade. A quick way to make them in the everyday underwear is on the sewing machine. Sew back and forth, leaving a small space in the center, three or four times where the button hole is wanted. and cut in the space left, being careful not to cut the stitch ing. In making little dresses or slips after the skirts are sewed up. attach the gathere- to the machine and gather the top and bottom of sleeves and skirt in this way the work is done quickly.

There are many ways of cleaning knives, but few of them remove every stain from the blades. If you sprin- kle a little bicarbonate of soda on a cork and rub briskly over the steel all the stains will disappear. Another successful plan is to rub the stain with a slice of freshly cut potato and then polish in the usual way.

A simple but pleasing gift for a young girl is comb and brush bag made from white or colored linen. It is more appreciated if made in her favorite color. To enhance the beauty of the long narrow bag sketch or trace on 1t a floral design which calls for easy embroidery, such as French knots skeleton stitches or cross stitch. The practi- cal part about such a gift is that in spite of it's usefulness, it can be fashioned out of leftover linen and floss.

There is q scrt of darning work that is decidedly popular just now. which is not at al difficult and is very ef- fective. The work is done on Rus sian and Italian peasant linen and has the virtue of being inexpensive. The background is sometimes darned in material. or just the reverse. The nee dle is thrust in and out between the coarse threads. and it is not neces- sary to make the stitches of even length, although a certain amount cf regularity gives a much better effect
 One advantage of this kind of work is that one can use a design of her own, which is always fascinating. If you have a favorite wal paper design or a choice bit of tapestry. it lends it. self wei las a copy for this work as do the hand printed cretonnes and linens. Work cut your own design Jif possible, as it is considered much smarter to have the work original.

CARPENTER MAY
 AFTER ALL TALK NOT FIGHT HERE
Cigarette Smoking and Life in Trenches and Wounds Leave Him
 in Bad Way.

1 Cigarette smoking, life in the trenches and wounds received in airplaue combats, according to re- cent reports received from Paris, have made the condition Of Georges
 Carpenter such that he would have trouble getting in condition
 for a real bout inside of six months. A recent interview in Paris quoted Carpenter as saying he would not be able to fight in this country within four months.
 Carpenters appearance, while ostcnsibly for the purpose of rais- ing funds for the family of a French boxer who was killed in ac- ton, undoubtedly had with 1t the experiment of determining the real condition of the European cham pion He boxed four rounds and when he finished he was pufng hard.
 He laid his lack of wind to the use of hundreds of cigarettes-a habit acquired in the trenches. He promised to cut down his daily quota of pills. He boxed well, but his movements were decidedly clum-.

 Talk of q match with Jess Will lard was foolish from the start, de- spite the fact that every tentative arrangement had been made. Talk of q bout with Les Darcy, or any other good light heavyweight, is just as foolish. To send Carpentier into action now against q really good man would be slaughter. He would tire within six rounds at the most and all his ring craft could not save him from defeat
 It is the price he has paid for being patriot Even if he is not killed or permanently crippled in action, the chances are he will never occupy the place in Gstiana lc once enjoyed.
