day for "Kiddies."

This will be a rough Fourth of July
for the Kansas youngster whose pa
triotism and enthusiasm needs relief
thru the noise route. Governor Cap
per has urged embellishments, i'm
provements and betterments on the
sane Fourth idea in a manner that
will make Independence day in Kan
sas as thrilling as a convention of re-
tired church deacons.
In a special plea to patriotic Kan
sas, Governor Capper has urged young
America to twiddle her thumbs and
rise to an occasion of national loyalty
thru thoughts of Revolutionary heroes
and the Mayflower Pilgrims.
Put on Muzzle.
Not only will there be no fire
crackers for the Kansas youngster,
but the red lemonade will be inspect
ed by the visitors from the state pure
food department, while the board of
health supervises the selection of a
healthy picnic site and the hotel de-
partment safeguards visitors against
sleeping in hotels which provide short
sheets.
While Kansas has gradually ap-
preached the sane Fourth idea by CIV
ing up her firecrackers, her "nigger
chasers" and her toy cannon, the gov
errors decree adds to the seriousness
OF the occasion and removes the zest
and joy from the day-so far as the

L am led to these reflections because
of the fact that the Fourth of july

that in acquitting ourselves of those
responsibilities we are going about
our duties seriously and with the opti-

THE HOUSEHOLD
Can You Make a Cherry Pie?
Edited by Anne Rittenhouse.

In a good old-fashioned, rollicking
sort of song that describes a high
handed, thoro going housewife, do you
remember the lines that tell US that
''she can make a cherry pie, in the
tw1nkling of an eye?" Whether you
remember the rest of the song or not
you have no doubt often wished that
you could make the sort of cherry
pie that inspired that line.
From the robins point of view, no
doubt, cherries were invented for the
sole purpose of offering them snug
little nibbles of luscious sweetness. To
the beauty lover they were planted
first in the garden of Eden in order to
give US cherry blossoms. To the small
boy they were given to schoolboys in
order to be picked from the neighbors'
orchards neighbors' cherries always
being infinitely sweeter than your own
But to the lover of good eats" the
word over cherries were made to make
cherry pies.
Here is the way mother used to
make them and modern cooking
school methods are not a bit better
in fact, not half so good. Take a deep
earthen dish. 1t will be worth your
while to get just this sort of dish spe-
cially for cherry pies. Shallow tin
pie plans will never do 1t goes with
out saying that you or your cook
knows how to make good pie crust. 1t
should be rolled out in a thin even
paste and fitted into the bottom of
the dish and cut off at the edges. Now
cut a one-inch strip of the pie crust
and moistening the outer edge of the
pie place this strip around the edge,
pressing it into place. Now mix a
half cup of sugar with tablespoon
of flour and dust this evenly over the
dough in the dish. Take an ice cold
pat of butter AMI cut it into small
/ bits and dot the dish with these bits
of butter.
In the meantime, the cherries
should be stoned, drained and rolled

should have been la bas, as the
French call the fighting front
Human nature is the same every
where. Our women are wearing the
red cross for vanity and our men are
disporting all. kinds of symbols that
appear heroic, but mean nothing.
The cap of the Red Cross nurse is
the bit of vanity that is offered to the
outside of commonplace in her mil
inery. Undoubtedly she will not be
able to wear it long; the government
will stretch out its long arm to pull
it in.
In the meantime, there is no posi-
bic way to deny that the Red Cross
turban is the most becoming hat that
the majority of young women have
exploited.
The Lavish Chiffon Veil.
The milliners have not adopted the
exact drapery which is prescribed for
the nurses of the Red Cross. This
drapery, as you well know, drops from
the side of the hat over the Shout
ders.
The veil which is adopted by the
| milliHers is more frequently seen in
| England than in America. 1t is not
quite as becoming as the regulation
bit of drapery, but it is used in a
most coquettish manner by the girls
| who have adopted it.
The sketch shows a hat of this kind
worn at an afternoon garden party.
The foundation is of draped white
satin closely bound around the head
and forming a straight line just above
the eyebrows. Over this satin is a
loose drapery of white chiffon, not the
kind that is used for gowns, but a
thicker quality.
At the back the long veil is invis-
IDLY attached, dropped down on the
shoulders and then brought over the
arm, hanging almost to the hem of
| the skirt in front. There is a tiny
slash in the end of it, thru which the
fingers may go, and by this trick the
long white drapery is manipulated
like a butterfly's wing.

IN brigade reserve. The night follow
ing it advances via the bad roads,"
that are frequently shelled, to the
third line trenches. For twenty-four
hours the regiment remains in dug
outs upon this line, ready to repulse
any sweep of the enemy that might,
by chance, overpower the more ad-
vanced trenches.
The next move is to the second line
positions. While doing the twenty
four hour tour in these, details are
sent forward to repair wire entangle-
ments and act as patrols in No Mans
Land-the latter mark the most dan
gerous for the soldier in trench war

Then comes the forward move to
the cover trenches of the first line.

cherries and cover over them a thin
top crust that has been cut thru in
the middle with three slashes of
knife. Press the edges of the upper
crust well on the lower crust and bake
for about a half hour in I quick oven-
While it is well to fill the crust fair
ly full of cherries it should never be
crowded as when this is done there
is a tendency for the pie to boil over
When this happens the juice drops
down in the oven and burns and
smokes, but does no harm to the pie
other than for the loss of juice that
it entails.

SOLICITING COMMITTEES

Anaconda Standard: When the com
mittcc calls for subscriptions, it should
receive a friendly greeting, pleasant
words, and, when possible, a favorable
response. Soliciting committees are
getting pretty common; almost every
day there is call for some worthy
cause or another The call upon citi
zens and especially upon business men.
for subscriptions is pretty frequent.
The fact should not be lost sight of
that the persons who are going about
soliciting funds are not doing the work
because they like to do it. No one likes
such work 1t is about the most
onerous and unpleasant task that can be
assumed. They are not doing it be-
cuse it is a pleasant task and they are
not dom It becuse there is any money
in if for them. They ar using their
time and taxin" their patience for no
financial return. They have volun-
teered for the work because it is for
the country. Some one must 90 around
and interest the people in these causes
il the funds are to be kept up, and they
have taken this way of doing their bit
for the country.
1t is not always possible to give
when the solicitors come around. Many
have to adjust their giving to their
available resources, and they have to
refuse some of the causes. But every
body can always give the solicitors a
cordial reception. They can give them
friendly greeting and express approval
of the work they are doing. They can
give them encouragement and help to
make pleasant task out of an I'M
pleasant one.
Soliciting committees probably have
come to stay for the duration of the
war at least. We will have to get used
to them. If they are properly accredit-
ed committees working for a proper and
worthy cause, they should never be
treated with rudcness or incivility.
They are entitled to courteous treat
ment, and no loyal citizen can afford
anything but courteous treatment to
the men who are soliciting funds for
the country's good. One may not be
able to subscribe to all the causes, and
he may not be able to give much to
any cause, but he should greet the soil
citors with smile just the same. Cash
may fail us, but courtesy should never
fail.
