TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY

One of the handsomest residences in or
about Topeka is that of F. y. Popenoe
which is the site formerly occupied by
the old Hudson house in Highland Park.
1t is on an elevation which commands a
fine view of the city and the surrounding
country.
In all there are twelve rooms; the style
of the house so the architects say, is
American pure and simple. The actual
cost of this ideal home is fifteen thousand
dollars. The house is surrounded with a
large trees.

Should BE Revived Tor the steady
Stream of Activities During Sum-
mcr Evenings.
New YUrk.--This summer is not
dull. No one can accuse it of settling
down to dreary inactivity. 1t Is lively
beyond all precedence, if by the word
lively" one means diversion on every
hand.
There are arguments for and
against the constant entertaining of
soldiers which is going on over this
continent. We are told that England
does the same thing, but that France
has never attempted the entertain
ment of its ooilus. We are told that
it Is not necessary for US to give our
embryo fighters such a vast deal of
relaxation from camp duties by dane
ing them, and dining them. and motor
ing them every leisure moment they
can obtain; but the reformer has little
chance of being heard in this wave of
emotional desire to make every
moment of the soldiers life as bright
as possible, not only in America, but
in France.

AS far as that part of the Anglo
| Saxon race which is centered in
America is concerned, 1t intends to
go on entertaining the soldiers, re-
gardless of critics and other nations
The fact is evident on every side,
and clothes are worn to correspond
with gayety. In a city like New York

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUSE



Sometimes the housewife who goes
to market for a supply of flour gets
the wrong kinds of substitutes to make
up her fifty per cent of non wheat GER
calls. Most of US have found it no diff
ficult matter to use as much of the
substitutes as we use of wheat flour.
But we have individual ways of using
the substitutes. Some of US like one
thing and some of US like another;
and each of us should plan a list of
substitutes to buy based on our own
and our family's personal taste.
Here is fairly inclusive list of the
kinds of cereal that we may buy as
wheat substitutes, each one emitting
US to an equal weight of wheat flour:
Oatmeal, cornmeal, rolled oats. corn
flour, rice, edible corn starch, feterita
flour. hominy. corn grits, rice flour.
barley flour. potato flour, buckwheat
flour, sweet potato flour, soy bean
flour. OF course, there are many GER
eals sold under a patented name. con-
tanning no wheat, that are accepted as
substitutes.
In making out your list of substi-
tutes to buy next time you need -four.
don't buy any with which you have
had bad luck. and buy most of those
with which you have had best luck.

small quantities. Corn flour. because
it contains less moisture than the
meal. keeps better.
Some housewives seem to feel that
there is a virtue in buying and using
some of nearly all of the substitutes
so their pantry shelves contain many
bags and boxes. each holding a differ

you can get good results by using corn

With two or three of them you can get
quite as good results as you can with
half a dozen.

Okanogan county has the distinc-

OF its incorporated towns. The town

President Wilson is in France and
will participate in the preliminary
peace discussions with representatives
of the other allied powers. His is an
important and also delicate position
in that body of peace commissioners.
His fourteen proposals as basis for
peace have been accepted in the main
by the other powers as foundation
upon which to work, but there will be
various interests to be considered,
numerous questions bearing upon
the readjustment of boundary lines,
indemnity, punishment and other
points to be settled that will come up
for discussion. America went into the
war with the announced determine
ton to ask no indemnity, to demand
no territory, but America could well
afford to take stand that could not
be taken by those countries that have
directly suffered irreparable losses
through the hands of the Central
Powers, and the attitude of America
upon the matter of indemnities and
territorial annexation should not be
made to conflict with any understand
ing that the other allied powers may
reach under those heads. Germany
will not appreciate the fact that she
has been defeated in war Of her
own making unless she is made TO
pay we'll for her dispoilation of neigh
boring countries that she invaded
Not alone Germany, but Austria, Bull
garia and Turkey should be made to
pay and pay dearly for the crimes
committed under the guise Of war
fare, a most barbarous warfare, and
the heavier the penalty the less liable
are the Huns to precipitate another
world war.
