THE FLAG

The display of the national colcrs
in this city is inspiring. Especially
I'm the quiet residence neighborhoods
the flag Of the naticn is shown so
generally as to leave no doubt of the
abundant patriotism of the household
ers. But 1t is doubtful If the draping
ct a large flag like superfluous cur
tain on the front of building is the
proper way to Display our national
symbol. The inference is that the
owner CIR lessee Of the building has
obtained a flag too large for his pur-
pose, and, being unable to accommo
date a pole large enough to hold it,
does the best he can to demonstrate
his patriotic ardcr. Every flag, how
ever, should have its pole. The two
should be inseparable when the flag
is ON view out of doors. A small
flag is as strongly indicative of 10y,
atty as big one.
There is another common error in
the display of the flag by private cit
izens. Cnce placed in position, 1t is
frequently permitted to hang OF float
from it's pole both day and night,
Now, although the heart of Francis

is raised at sunrise and lowered at
sunset. II the private citizen does
not raise his flag precisely with the
SUN, he ought at least to lower it
before dark. The sight of flapping
banners i'm the night does not inspire,
but on the contrary, irritates sophis-
ticated patriots.

from Alaska, we find that what was

Fat For Frying.

Fat that has been used for frying
dOughnuts, croquettes, ETC., can be
used a number of times again If it Is
carefully handled and not allowed to
become discolored. Each time, after
use, it should be strained through
cheesecloth laid over sieve. Flour.
crumbs and other matter present burn
at a lower temperature than does the
fat, and II not strained out will,
on reheating, become charred and
blacken the fat. Such fat does not
give attractive looking food; If the
discolOratiOn be caused by the over
heating Of the fat itself, the food
loses in wholesomeness by so much.
Fat strained each time after use, and
kept always below the smoking point,
may be replenished with fresh supplies
Of fat and used almost indefinitely.

HINTS FOR THE H0USEKEEPER

Lettuce and cabbage can be quickly
shredded with the scissors.
Articles to be dyed should first be
washed SO they will be free from dirt.
Nuts, because Of their oil, form a
valuable contribution to the dinner
menu.
When beating eggs use a pinch of
salt and they will be much lighter for
the cake.
A nice way to serve grapefruit is to
garnish it with cubes of firm red and
yellow jelly.
Cheaper cuts Of meat, well cooked
with fine sauce, are quite as appe-
tizing as the more expensive ones.
In planning meat for boiling remem-
ber that the thinner the piece of meat
the greater will be the loss of taste
and juices.
1t is said that gas mantle will
give a much brighter light if it is
soaked in vinegar and hung up to dry
before being used.
Brass bedsteads will keep in much
better condition If they are occasion
ally rubbed with sweet oil, and then
wiped and polished.
The great secret of frying is to have
plenty Of fat and have it hot so the
food cooks on the inside without alb
soybing any Of the fat.

OUR DUTY IN THIS TRYING HOUR

By almost an unanimous vote, con-
gress has declared that state of
war exists between this country and
the Imperial government of Germany.
In this, we differ very materially
from a monarchy. Under our con-
stitutioral law, majority, of over
five hundred Of cur representative
men, chosen by the people, are re-
quired to make the decision, while i'm
an absolute monarchy only the ruler
lis required to plunge his country into
the fatalities and expense incident to
war.
Had Austria and Germany in 1914,
q democratic form of government, the
whcle world would not be now at
war. and the slaughter of countless,
human beings would have been avert
ed, as we'll as billions of dollars in
property values.
For nearly three years did our pres
ident stand the taunts and insults of
these nations, until forbearance ceas-
ed to be virtue. and then he appeal
ed to congress for advice and aid, by
a public address to the joint assemb
ly. wherein he recounted the infringe
ment of our national rights by these
nations for the past three years, and
congress very properly declared war.
We are now at war. All party
strife has been buried, and the great
majority of the country stand as a
uni.ed wholes to aid and sustain our
president, who is commander in chief
Of our army and navy. The richest
and most powerful republic Of the
ear'h, has buok kled om the armcr to
conquer dangerous and treache erous
Zoe, and this great and prosperous
land will exert all her energies to
free the world from this piratical
menace that now threatens to en-
slave the world.
Let every loyal citizen rally to cur
nations colors and assist in exter-
minating the traitor and the spy, who
may have been sent here to destroy
our internal commerce, from foreign
lands. Let every loyal son and daugh-
ter strive to grow two stalks of corn
where ore grew before, that we may
not only feed our own nation, but
the starving poor of Europe.

HERE is A coNTEvTEo CITY
impression Gained by Visitors to
Adelaide, Australia, Where Aetivi.
ties Are Peculiarly Organized.

Adelaide's unusual plan-a business
section surrounded by zone of 2.OOO
acres Of park lands, beyond which are
the residential sections-seems de-
signed to put business cares, recre-
alton, and quiet home life in separate
compartments. The organization OF
city life to allow for leisure-a feel
ing more prevalent in Adelaide than In
Melbourne, or even in Sydney, and al
most unknown in American cities-is
partly responsible for the universal i'm
preston among visitors that Adelaide
ranks high in general culture.
Both climate and the high quality of
the South Australian pioneers are al
so factors which have helped to make
Adelaide such a desirable place Of res
idence. Those who are attracted by
the climate, people, and manner Of life
of the foothill cities of Southern Cal
ifornia, who care for out-of-door life
and flowers and fruit, and wish to
spend week ends in nearby noun
tains or at the seashore, would feel at
home in Adelaide.
Most writer's on Australia profess to
see differences in types and manners
in the three leading cities Of the COM
monwealth, and the natives feel sure
that differences exist. Melbourne Is
"hustling;" Sydney is "easy going;"
Adelaide is "solid" and "contented."
On the basis of short acquaintance
these characterizations seem as unreal
as dead" Philadelphia or provincial"
Boston would to an Australian trav-
eler. In the American sense, no Aus
trallan city is hustling; all are doing
much business in an orderly, efficient
manner. AS places for residence they
have few competitors among the cities
of the United States. - National

TEST OF THE "wELL READ"
One Qualifying for This Title Is Not
Necessarily Of the Book
worm Type.

Persons who like to think that they
are entitled to be classified as "well
read" ought to check up on themselves
every once in a while, because the re-
quirements are constantly increasing.
and the well-read man Of few years
ago is the back number of today. Once
there was a time when a fair degree
of intimacy with Shakespeare and the
Bible was the only requirement, but
that is not the case any more.
For checking up purposes an admir-
able document is the examination for
prospective library workers given in
this city recently, says the Spokane
Review. Anybody who can answer
correctly all the questions in that ex-
animation would be indisputably well
read. A few errors might be allowed,
hut not many, for it is fair exami-
nation and a comprehensive one. One
is supposed to know at least one name.
of author or work, from the great lit
eratures from the Hindu to modern
times. One name from each period
ought to stick to the least retentive
memory. One ought also to be able to
name the authors Of a selected hist Of
familiar works, even though the list
takes in representatives from "Gul-
liver's Travels" to Man and Super
man."
To drive home the idea that the we'll
read mind is not necessarily the book
worm type the literary examination
reaches into the field of general infor-
nation and takes in vers libre, femi-
nism, watchful waiting, the city man
ager plan, somewhere in France" di-
rect primaries, Colonia Dublan, single
tax, aviation, Verdun, submarine war;
fare, genre painting and Steptoe butte.
How many of the "well read" could
pass the examination? The percent
age of failures probably would be sur
prising, even to the participants.
