Drawn Butter.

Drawn butter is made by creaming a cup of butter with a tablespoon of flour. putting it in a saucepan and pouring a half cup of boiling water oh it and stirring it constantly; cook for two or three minutes, then salt to taste; if hard boiled eggs 4re to be used slice them carefully so as not to break them. The eggs will not slice smoothly if not boiled 20 minutes; then cooled in the same water in which they are boiled.

Stunning for Baked Fish.

A nice stufhng for baked fish is made of a cup of stale bread crumbs, a heaping tablespoon of butter. a tea spoon of chopped salt pork, a chop ped onion, q little salt and pepper. A we'll beaten egg added to the above will give much richer and moister stuff1ng. Fill the fish with this and either tie or sew it together to keep the fgling from coming out; lay three or four slices of salt pork in a baking pan and lay your fish in this, adding two tablespoons water, from three-quarters to an hour will bake good sized fish which must be pasted from time to time with this pan liquid.

Two Killed in Auto Accident.

Arthur Oerke. aged twenty-five, of
Milton Junction, and Otto Rohloff, aged
thirty, of Lima, were killed Monday
afternoon about five miles this side of
Delavan when the car in which they
were driving turned turtle after bad
skid. William Kidder of Milton juno
ton, aged twenty-seven, third pas
senger in the car, sustained injuries.
Kidder believes that Oehrke was killed
instantly as his back was broken.
Rohloff died within ten minutes after
the accident, and before the car could
be lifted off by the rescuers. Oehrke
is survived by his wife. He was we'll
known in the country around Milton
Junction since his occupation as cream
cry operator in that town brought him
into close touch with large number
of farmers. Rohloff was not married;
he was farmer living few miles
east of Milton. 1t was his car, small
roadster, in which the accident occurred.

The Fortieth Anniversary of the Nor
wegian Lutheran Church.

Two impressive services marked the
celebration of the fortieth anniversary
of the Norwegian Lutheran church last
Sunday morning and afternoon. Prof.
d. G. Ristad, pastor of the church from
1892 to 1900, gave the anniversary ad-
dress, which was review of the past
years of this church based upon the
journey Of Israel from Egypt to Ca
naan, applying with cogent force the
history of that period upon present
perils, problems and duties. At the
second service he addressed the young
people assembled at the annual reunion
of confirmation classes.
During the noon intermission the
congregation met in the church parlors
at luncheon provided by the trustees
of the church.
The congregation was organized in
1876 with 80 members. The IA surviv-
ors of these first members are Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Jensen, Mr.. and Mrs. O.
G. Hanson, Mr.. and Mrs. S. Omsberg,
Mr.. and Mrs. M. Mason, Mrs. Jacob
Johnson, Mrs. ]. A. Johnson, Mrs. Ole
Jensen, Mrs. H. Lintvedt, Mrs. N.
Larson and Andrew Berry. The pres
ent membership is Ais. The estimated
value of the church property is SIS, 900.
To all local and general church pur-
poses there has been contributed $780,
600. The remaining indebtedness on
the pipe organ was recently paid by
the Ladies Aid and the Bethany Circle.
At the annual meeting on New Years
day Andrew Jensen was reelected as a
member of the board of trustees. He
has served continuously in this office
since the first meeting of the congre-
cation. The church is in a prosperous
condition, and looks forward to long
period of active service for the good of
the community and the church at large.

THE CHURCH AND FEMINISM.

The Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan, pro-
lessor of Political Science in the Cath
Ollie University at Washington, eX-
planned to an audience at the Main
Line forum at Ardmore, Pa, Sunday
the attitude of the Catholic Church on
feminism.
The Church" he said, "has not
made any announcement on femin-
ism so far as the question of voting
is concerned, but there are certain
theories advanced by the more adj
vanced feminists which suggest that
the family relation must be made
over. There are theories which hold
that the principle, of monogamy must
be modified and which assert the
freedom of woman to have children,
whether she is married or not.
These latter theories are not adj
vocated to any particular extent in
this country, but they are advocated
by the feminists of Germany and
Scandinavia, and, of course, so far as
the moral questions involved in them
are concerned, the Church is decidedly
opposed to this sort of feminism.'

WOMEN AND CANDOR.

=
Many are the eXhortations that have
been addressed to women tchiehy by
mem on the desirability Of cultivating
perfect candor. But despite the nu-
merous arguments for candor on every
point, one big one remains against it.
The too-candid person has no friends.
We cannot afford to be independent of
other people and to fling our opinions
and criticisms about broadcast The
truest and most long standing of
friendships would be shattered if sub
jected to a stream Of adverse criti-
cism. For it very often happens that
the woman who prides herself on her
candor has extremely high ideals with
regard to people and things. And
when they fail to come up to the
mark she does not hesitate to pro-
claim the fact to all and sundry. Too
candid women are rarely given to
making favorable criticism.
Women are frequently accused Of
telling innumerable small white lies
Perhaps the accusation is not unde-
served in some. But the world would
be a most uncomfortable place if
everyone said just exactly what he or
she thought.
Candor is desirable, certainly, but
it should always be coupled with tact.
