Alice met Dick the next morning on

conversation to Corinne. 1t seemed
ridiculously easy. Dick really seemed

"You see, the trouble with Corinne
is," said Alice conf1dentially. "that she
has that innocent, unsophisticated look
that rather bores one If he doesn't
know her."
Dick looked at her with interest and
was apparently all attention. 'That's

Can Beefs For
Next Winter

Beets are one of the most nourish-
ing vegetables that are grown. They
contain great quantities of sugar and
other strength giving ingredients.
They are selling very cheap In all the
markets, as the crop is very abund-
ant The houselSeeper should use
them oftener. They may be prepared
many ways.
The simplest plan of all, Is to boil
them about twenty minutes in salted
water, with the skin on) peeling.
and serving hot, allowing each to add
butter. salt and pepper to taste. The
tops make an excellent green, either
boiled with meat or In salted water.
Now beets are extra enticing II
served with orange dressing. Get
two punches of beets, three tart
and one small lemon. Boil the beets
in salted water and slice them thin.
Cut oranges also in slices and mix
with the beets, Add the lemon juice.
sprinkle with sugar and serve cold.
Beets for Winter
While the beets are being sold so
cheaply by the farmers every house
keeper should put some away for
winter. They are very easily canned.
A. simple way to can them is: Boil
beets (with roots on and some of the
utes according to size, then dip In cold
water about minutes and then peel.
Pack, either sliced or whole in ster-
ilized jars and boil in the Gamer for
one and q half hours. using the cold
pack method.
Beets are a fine relish, too, when
spiced. Recipe: Take boiled beets,
place In sterilized Jars. cover with a
hot liquid. composed of one cup vine
gar, one cup sugar and a half tea
spoonful of mixed spice. Seal while
hot and put away in cool place.
Another good recipe for beet relish
is. Boil beets in salted water until
tender with roots and part of top)
peel, chop fine. Measure and to
every seven cups of beets add one cup
of grated horseradish and one cup OF
sugar. Pack in sterilized jars and
cover with boiling vinegar. Seal Jars
and set aside TO use with meat.
Country people also mix beets with
fish. making an appetizing supper
dish when meat is scarce. Recipe:
Take bushel of beets. boil in salted
water and chop. Cook a bushel of
herring, skin and bone, flake the
meat and mix with the chopped beets.
Pack this mixture sprinkling well
with salt, pepper and spice, In stone
crooks or wooden firkins. cover with
hot vinegar, press down with a heavy
weight and let stand some weeks be-
fore using. The recipe may be used
also with dried or salted herring, or
mackerel, soaking them first and
using little or no salt with the beets.

PARIS, August 3o.-Only an eighty
word summary Of President wilson's
reply to Pope BENEDICT has reached
Paris this morning. and consequently
the newspapers withhold extensive
comment The Petit Parisien, how
ever. says II is clear. in view OF the
longth of time which has elapsed since
the President received Pope Benedict's
proposals that his answer was in no
way improvised. particularly as every
one liz aware that II is his habit to
mediate at length overy every act.
las far as 1t Is possible TO judge
from indications received" the news
paper continues. president Wilson
does not discuss the Pope's suggestions
in themselves. His reply is re-editing
Of the thesis familiar to those who
have read his messages. that as Ions
as German imperial institutions are
not modified. as long as the democratic
spirit has not penetrated behind tho
Rhine, as absolutism. based on oligar-
chy, persists. long nations cannot
have confidence in Germsnys word.
President Wilson thus brings up Just
asaFrance and England have done be-
fore him. the question OF Prussian mil
itarlsm. which is the safeguard OF this
absolutism and oligarchy.
TN rejecting the Vatican's offer the
President indicates the conditions I'M
der which a useful conversation might
be taken UP. Once more he gives i'm
portant advice to the German people.
Will he be heard?"
WANTS GERMAN PEOPLE
FREED FROM PRESENT REGIME
The Matin says: From what we
know OF the text. Mr.. Wilson has en-
deavored to enter into the views of the
spiritual power which is regarded by
millions OF his fellow citizens as the
highest religious authority in the
world, but II Is absolutely necessary
that peace should be concluded only
with absolute guarantees for the flu
ture. which the President believes can
not be given by the present rulers OF
Germany. He does not conceal the
opinion which he had already expressed
that the German people should be free
from tho present regime before an
agreement worthy Of confidence can
be made with them.
1.-THE allies Of the United States who
have seen the German people at work
can Judge that they are united In sup
port OF their masters. and have ratified
their abominable enterprise in the hope
OF deriving immense advantages there
from. but the President continues to
hold the view that IL permitted to
speak, these people would condemn the
evil shepherds who have led them
astray. That Is his opinion. reached
after deep reflection. He has every
right to make 1t known to the world in
