THE MENACE

That the assaults Of gorilla

increasing, is strikingly brought
home to this community by the
occurrence Of last Saturday night
in South Rosemary. In this in
stance the brute was unable to
accomplish his purpose, but 1t is
only by the narrowest of margins
that this community has been
spared a hideous tragedy and a
lynching bee.
Certainly something should be
done to combat the wave of crime
of this nature which seems to be
sweeping over the State. There
should be increased vigilance Of
20 ice officers, prompt a 'rest Of
lille negro iolferS under the
vagraucy statute and police

heavily all negro DRINKS and

most terrible of menaces.

every man should train his wife

1.-TWO Arms and One Heart

Mr. Hoover's appeal to the
American public to economic in
the use of sugar for two months
should meet with a ready re-
spouse. The French people have
been on a ration of q pounds a
year, or one ounce day. Unless
we, who use four and a half times
that, give them a little they will
be entirely without it until the
new supply comes in, about the
last of December.
In all her agony France has
never uttered one word of
complaint, but has bent her
back to the burden which
Fate imposed upon her. We
shudder at the horrors &C ITO
and know that they haze been
duplicated in every part of the
occupied area. Yet France COM
plains not. We admire the brilliant
victory of the Marine, snd the
steadfastness Of Verdun. And we
know that all France has done,
the blood she has shed and the
agony she has silently endured is
a wall of defense that will assure
the women and girls of America
from the fate of their sisters at
Lille. Who are we, that we should
not help her in her need?
A soldier of France who had
been brought from the operating
room, when he could speak,
said: Il offered everything to
France, and all she took was my
two arms" Not France. but
humanity, civilization, Christian
ity, took those two arms. Cannot
the American people who eat
four ounces of sugar a day, eat
a little less candy, a little less
sugar at the table in order that
the daily ration of one ounce may
be continued to those who so
freely offer humanity everything,
and are surprised when it only
takes both arms? Arms and the
Man | sing" God helping US,
cannot we learn to sing too?"

SinoIe File.

When the Indians travelled together they seldom walked or rode two or more abreast. but followed one anoth- CT in single file It has been thought by some that this practice resulted from the lack of roads. which com pelled them to make their way through woods and around rocks by narrow paths. If this were the real reason for the practice. then we should expect to find that the tribes who lived in open countries travelled in company, as do whites. The true reason for jour- neying as the Indians did in single file seems to be feeling of caste. This feeling was at the bottom of other customs of the Indians. It made their women slaves and rendered the men silent and unsocial. This peculiarity is Asiatic. How it has warped and disfigured Hindu life is we'll known The women of a Chinese household are seldom seen in the street.

THE East continues to pour it's scorn on the West and particularly the Middle West for the latters pacifi- cism. The East has made militarism one of it's shining gods. It declares with mumbling reiteration that if we don't all shoulder our guns and march to the command of the East we'll yet be forced to march to the order of foreign commands. The khaki is the garb of patriotism. Still, sailor in Lis uniform was denied admission to a New York theatre the other day. Of course the theatre man was arrest ed and fined on some charge or other, Tut the incident shows that the East's :dolatry of the uniform is az yet mostly confined to coupon-clipping profits arising therefrOm. It tnok the strong arm of the law to give the Jackies blouse the same pIivi- leges accorded the civilians collar in the bellicose, intrepid, fighting East. And it is only recently that the law intervened in the soldiers behalf It has long been7'a. custom in the East in places of entertainment patronized by these lovers of Mars to exclude soldiers. Such attitude. of course, is snobbishly unfair. But those intensely patriotic Eastern or gans that are ridiculing the West and trying to educate us up to a proper military standard might do we'll to spend some of their energy and fire On their own constituency.

SALT IN THE FOOD.
Why its Flavor at Times 10 Too Weak
 or Too Strong.


 or Too Strong.
 The average housewife wonders why she often over or under salts her dishes when she knows" that she salted them just right, as she always did and as the recipes called for.
 The reason is just this: The season ing value of different brands of salt varies widely. This Is easily proved. Take five slices of ripe tomatoes; apply equal parts of five makes of salt upon the separate pieces. Eat as soon as salted. The difference in flavor, per mcation. rapidity and equality of dis solution and seasoning value are read fly detected.
 A table salt should be fine. the crys- tals of equal size, quickly soluble and free from ingredients which absorb moisture from the air. Large and small crystals will not dissolve uni formly; consequently the full salting effect is not obtained until the large crystals are dissolved. The quickly soluble salt diffuses itself through the food at once and gives an equality of savor. Sticky salt is an intrusive hui sance.
 Failures in salting are largely due to changing from one make of salt to an. other. Get the best grade, grow ac customed to it's use and stick to it. San Francisco Chronicle.

 "The careful housekeeper will always resent the suggestion that once a dag Is often enough to wash dishes," writes Dr. H. Barnard in "Table Talk" in the National Food Magazine. "She cannot train herself to allow soiled plates and silverware to stack up from one meal to the next for she has been taught that such actions are evidence of shift. less, slovenly housekeeping. As mat ter of fact, along with many other no. tions which are fixed in the operation of the home, both time and energy are saved by cutting out two of the three daily dishwashing jobs."
 pr. Barnard goes on to recite the ex. perience of one housekeeper who actu- ally dared study the homely work ot dishwashing. One week she washed dishes three times day; the next week she washed each days dishes alto- gether. She used the same number of dishes each day in both weeks. She found that 1t took her fifty-one minutes day to wash dishes after each meal and forty-one minutes day to wash them once a day.
