She Had Heard of One.

'Whoever saw perfect man?" ask
ed an evangelist at revival meeting.
"There is no such thing. Every man
has his faults, plenty of them"
OF course, no one had ever seen
perfect man. and consequently the
statement of the revivalist was re-
ceived with silence. The revivalist
continued:
"Whoever saw perfect wonan"
At this junction tall, thin woman
arose.
''Do you mean to say, madam" the
evangelist asked. "that you have seen

ening is melted and added the last
thing to assure velvety texture, but
for shortcake, biscuits and such mix
lures the fat Is cut in with two knives,
working quickly, then add the liquid
and handle as quickly as possible.
Cornmeai Muffins.-Take two cup
fuls of cornmeal, half cupful of flour,
teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoon
fuls of sugar, two teaspoOnfuls of bak-
ing powder, two eggs, two tablespoon
fuls of shortening and cupful and a
half of milk. Mix all together, adding
the shortening, melted, the last thing.
Currant Biscuit-Take two cupfulS
of sifted pastry flour, two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, teaspoOnful of
salt, fourth of a cupful of well
cleaned currants, a cupful of milk and
two tablespoonfuls of shortening. Mix
together as usual, make in the form of
small biscuits, brush with milk and
bake in a brisk oven. Eat hot.
EGG Gems.-We may read this and
think of the days when eggs were
twenty cents dozen yet refrain from
indulging In them while they are so.
Take two and half cupfuls of sift-
ed flour, two teaSpoOnfulS of baking
powder, a teaspoonful Of salt, table
spoonful of sugar, four eggs, q cupful
of milk, and lastly three tablespoon
fuls of melted shortening.
AS a shortcake made in two layers,
with butter between so that the cake
divides easily, using any fresh or
canned fruit, there is no dessert more
easily baked. If you are hurried and
there is no time to roll out biscuit,
drop the dough In spOonfuls in a
creased pan or in creased gem irons
and bake.
Hot gingerbread is delicious with
whipped cream for dessert. If you
wish to make the dish extremely nice,
add half cupful of grated cheese to
the whipped cream. OF the whipped,
sweetened and favored cream may be
sprinkled with nuts If the cheese Is
not enjoyed.
A delicious marmalade may be
made from the pulp after making
cranberry jelly. Rub 1t through a
wire sieve; apple may be added, and
orange juice and a few raisins; a
pound of sugar will be ample for a
pint of pulp with the orange and
raislns. Cook until thick.

all the year round, and those who know
say that mutton should be five years
old to be in it's prime. However, two
years is the limit of life for most sheep.
Boiled Mutton and Sauce.-Prepare
the meat by wiping it with damp
cloth; if the skin be discolored scrape
1t with knife. Good meat should be
red in color, elastic to the touch and
have fresh smell. The fat should be
white and hard. Allow twenty min
utes to the pound in boiling and an
additional twenty minutes for all
joints over three pounds. Plunge the
meat, outside down, into boiling water
to scar it; after that cover and let 1t
simmer for the rest of the time. Pre-
pare carrot and turnip and put them
with the meat, then add an onion.
Sauce for Mutton.-Take two table
spoonfuls each of flour and dippingS,
cook until smooth, then add pint of
the mutton liquor, a little milk, if liked,
and some chopped parsley. Chopped
capers, tablespoonful with little Of
the vinegar to pint Of the sauce. Lay

tables may be placed neatly at the end
Of the dish; the onion may be left out
II so desired.
Mutton Stew.-Wipe piece Of the
neck or a cheap cut from the shoulder
and cut into serving-sized pieces.
Place in frying pan with little hot
dripping, turn and brown ON all sides,
dredge with flour, add pint of shred
ded carrots, cut in strips, not slices, an
onion and sufficient hot water to cook
well, leaving a sauce to serve poured
over the meat and vegetables. Set into
a flreless cooker and let stand for three
hours or simmer on the back part Of
the stove for two hours. A little meat
in such a dish will season quantity

reputation in that respect and 1t be-
hooves the people to maintain 1t.
While it is the peoples duty to
support the Monday Music club. it
should be decidedly enjoyable duty
to perform, judging from what they
get in exchange for what they give.
The season opens Friday, October
l., with Christine Miller and closes
in April with the Chicago Symphony
orchestra. The Victor Record people
announces Christine Miller as one of
the most satisfactory artists now ap-
pearing in concert in America. She
makes records for both the Edison
and Victor people. Her lovely voice,
appealing style of singing and gra-
cious personality has endeared her to
thousands. The Chicago Symphony
orchestra, formerly the Thomas or
chestra, is known throughout the
length and breadth of the United
States.
In between these two great stellar
attractions are other popular musical
stars. The Monday Music club is
certainly to be congratulated in
securing such varied list of attrac-
tions and the officers of this club
deserve great credit for being able
to induce attractions Of that caliber
to come here. They are also to be
congratulated in being able to sell

attractions for Standardization ent.

There are two systems today
which have got to be rechoned with.
They cannot botn live together in the
civilized world. These two principles
are autocracy or arbitrary and des-

racy, which breathes and lives be-
cause it exists upon the basis OF
free people, on the other.
These two principles have clashed
in this war.
IF the nations now at war with
Germany were to make peace and
leave the cause of the war still exist
ent, it would be only temporary
truce. Civilization would again have
to go through this terrible and fright
full ordeal And so 1t is essential

AS an educational medium, Mr..

work, The Birth of a Nation can
hardly be rated high enough. The
celebrated Dr. Pankhurst Of New

Perhaps the most forcible argu-
ment in favor of it's educational value
was demonstrated lately by the

As the film was compelled to show
in that city under protest, the censor
board ruled that no person under 81
