BAN. Henry IL one Of the vice presi-
dents Of the Players Fraternity and was
handed quite few jolts during the last
stove league session by President Ban
B. johnson. Henry refuses to discuss
the subject excepting to state that the
frat has not gone up In smoke.
From the players on the Nationals who
were members Of the fraternity but
little can be gathered. as they admit that
things look pretty slim for the frat and
that they are through with paying money
into an organization that has no benefits
for them in it's comebacks.
From the local clubs standpoint It ap-
pears as II the fraternity is a thing Of
the past and Of course Catcher Henry is
too much Of a diplomat to admit to the
lost cause.

WATCH FOR THE

POTATO HINTS

Some suggestions for utilizing a
food that is now both cheap and
plentiful
Are you eating your share of the
countrys bumper potato crop?'' asks
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture- Now that the tubers are
once more plentiful and, cheap they
may well be given prominent place
on the dinner table," continues the
statement.
The Department makes the follow
ing suggestions in regard to the use
of potatoes at dinner:
Potatoes may. be freely used at din
ner, the variety which we all like be-
ing secured by changing the ways
in which the potatoes are served.
the fact that, since both of them are
foods which are very palatable
sources of starch, by eating more po-
tatoes, one can diminish the bread
eaten and thus help gave wheat,
which is such matter of Importance
at the present time.
Many think that potatoes are at
their best when prepared in the SIM
plest ways-that is, baked or boiled
but even so some variety is possible,
for they may be baked in their jack
cts, or with the skins rubbed off bak-
ed in the pan with meat, the juice
they absorb improving their flavor
The skins, may be easily rubbed off
new potatoes, and almost as easily
from old potatoes, provided they are
first dropped for 10 minutes in boil
ing water.
/ Potatoes may be boiled or steamed
in the jackets, peeled entirely. or with
only ring peeled around the CEN
tier. The boiled potatoes may be
served as they are, or mashed or
diced Such simple changes as these
help to give variety.

this week We win publish an econom-
ical potato menu.

To day's Anniversary

The recent triumph of Tammany
Hall in the elections held in New
York city recalls to mind the first
great triumph Of the people over
political boss" It was the same city
in which this victory was recorded,
and the man who went down to defeat
was William Marcy Tweed. This hap
pened just forty -four years ago today,
Nov. 10, 1873, when the head of the
Infamous Tweed Ring was sentence
ed to twelve years imprisonment and
fined $12,550. This was the answer
of the people, as represented by their
courts of Justice to the schallenge of
bossism. What are you going to do
about it 2" Tweed, a politician for
many years, was appointed commits
sioner of public works for the city Of
New York in 1870, and the ring
of which he was the leader succeeded
in barefaced appropriations Of vast
sums Of public money. The boss,
sneering1y confident of his ability to
"get away with the swag'' failed to
properly appreciate the power of the
press and outraged public opin-
ion. Higher courts decided that
the Imprisonment was illegal, but up
on Tweed's release he was throwns in
ITO Jail on another charge. Late in
1875 he esca ped and fled to Spain,
but was recaptured. returned to New
York, and again imprisoned in Lud.
low street Jail, where he died in 1878.
The operations Of the Tweed ring,
Curing five years of domination, cost
the taxpayers $3.50, 100000. Except
for the newspapers 1t might have cost

question you put to me-, Do you find
it difficult to talk to the boys of your
acquaintance? Talk to the boys just
as you do to the girls. The chief
reason why SO many girls are self
conscious and tongue-tied in the
presence of boys is that they look up
on them as a strange and different
kind of creature. This idea is alto
gether wrong. A boy is just an ord
mary human being like yourself and
you should treat him as such. He is
interested In the very things that in
treest you. Forget yourself; be nat
ural; don't try to be Intellectual nor
plan what you are going to say any
more than with the girls. Remember
only that you are jolly companions,
