Some Patriotic Desserts of
Cold Rice and Fruit
BY DORA MORRELL HUGHES

~ ESSERTS of rice have the merit of be-
ing, according to Hoover" inexpen-
sive. easily prepared, and when prop
erly made very inviting Rice should be
cooked so that each grain holds it's shape, ex-
cept when jellied. To keep the grains distinct
have the water boiling rapidly so that they
jump when put into it. Let them boil fast until
soft, from twenty to thirty minutes, then drain
off the water, saving it for starching or for
soup thickening, and steam in the double boiler
until dry. Cooked in this way, with the addi-
tion Of raisins or cut dates it is a good des-
sert for children, to be eaten with milk.

housewife attempt with any degree of
satisfaction. Prepare the ordinary vanilla

that the junket tablet must be thoroughly

A Portable Basket Refrigerator
IT you want to carry your refrigerator with
you wherever you go, to chill the waysde
berries and keep the lettuce crisp, the basket
refrigerator will fill the need Even if you
go no further than the lawn or the piazza, it
is a convenience, and on the motor or fishing
trip it is a necessity
The basket is good looking, inside and out,
with its covering of dull brown or forest green
reed and its lining of nickel plated metal.
The sides are insulated and the basket is verv
durable, as we'll compact and ornamental.
1t is made in sizes varying from 13 to 25
inches in length, 10 to Ia inches wide and 71h

are readily accessible with the cover left on
to protect the food and ice. The removable
covered ice contaner occupies about one
quarter of the entire space. The medium
size (21 by 10 by 12 inches) weighs eleven
and half pounds when empty. The theo-
retical ice capacity of the basket is ten pounds,
but the irregular shape of the cebox reduces
this practically to about seven or eight pounds
Naturally in such an informal refrigerator
as this there is no provision for circulation,
and the end nearer the ice is much the colder.

Two More Canning Accessories

Last summer loud cry went up from home
Gamers throughout the land for special racks
to convert the conservative old washboiler
into Gamer, and for lifters that would un-
erringy plunge into a stean1ing boiler and
bring out hot, heavy, slippery glass jar with
precision and safety. Too often they were
not to be had for love or money. This year
there many different models to meet these
two very real needs, if you are to can by the
cold pack method. In some cases rack and
litter are cleverly combined.

WAR AND THE ELECTION

The news of the complete surrender of Austria Hungary and the
approaching collapse of Germany cannot help but have its effect on
the election that is being held throughout the United States today.
No matter what we may think of President Wilson and his manner
of conducting his high office of President of the United States and
commander in chief of the army and navy, it must be admitted by
all that the war has been fought with the utmost success and with
comparatively little privation on the part of the American people.
When affairs of state ar moving along as we like to see them
enough alone, so to speak.
There is no doubt that the wonderful achievement of the United
States during the past year in passing from a peaceful nation with no
preparations for war whatever, to a most military nation having an
army of over 100000 men in France, with vast training camps and
munition plants all over the country; with shipbuilding going on at
a rate never dreamed of in the world before; with an American rail-
way 26O miles long ali the way across France operated and fully
equipped by Americans; with harbor facilities and vast storage con-
structed lin France-al this, we say, will pass down in history as the
greatest feature of the world war.
To President Wilson, who has come to be recognized as the
spokesman OF the civilized world, will be given the credit for this
great achievement, for his mastery leadership and diplomacy.
AS the American voter ponders over these things before going
! o the polls today, he is apt to overlook the petty differences and OBJ

Today We Celebrate
Belgium Often Ruled by German
EmperOrS.


Belgium, now being freed from
Teuton oppression. has often during
its long aid tragic career fallen I'M
der the sway of German emperors.
! Today ma rks the 203d anniversary or
the ratification of a treaty by which
the Low Countries were coded to
Charles VI. Emperor of Germany, of
the old Austrian line. Nor was this
! the first time %hat Flanders had been
under the sovereignty of the Haps-
burgs. In the fifteenth century Elan
ders was held by the Dukes of Bur-
gundy, and in 1447, Mary of Burgundy
heiress of Charles the Bold, became
the bride of Archduke Macmillan, son
of Emperor Frederick ~ of Germany
and thus the Low Countries came into
possession of the House Of Austria.
In the following century Belgium
passed, also by marriage, to the Crown
of Spain. At that time the Belgians
cared little what royal house presided
over their destinies. but when Philip
II sought to establish the Inauisition
they rose in rebellion. While the
northern portion Of the Netherlands
succeeded in establishing it's independ-
ence. Belgium was subjected and con-
tinued to groan under the Spanish
yoke. In the frequent wars between
Spain and France n Holland, Bel
GUM was first attacked and suffered
most, and many sections of the coun-
try were given to France as the price
of peace.
The wal of the Spanish Succession
brought another change Of rule to
Belgium. By the treaty of Utrecht,
which was confirmed 203 years ago to-
day, Belgium, which for q century had
been the battle ground OF Europe, was
awarded to the German emperor, and
was called Austrian Netherlands.
During h war of the Austrian Sue
cession almost all of Belgium fell into
the hands of the French, but in 174s
the conquered territory was restored
to the Emperor of Germany. After a
period of peace n prosperity the
Belgians rose in rebellion against the
Au%strians and in 1889 proclaimed an
Independent state under the title of
United Belgium. A strong army was
dispatched by the German Emperor
and succeeded in subduing the coun-
try.
After another brief interval of peace
revolutionary France attacked Bel
GUM and drove out the A~ustrians, and
In 1874 the rule of the German emper-
ors came to ar end. Soon afterward
the old German empire of the House
of Austria ceased to exist, and Bel
GUM became an integral part OF
France. After the downfall of Napo-
leon Belgium was for some time ruled
by an Austrian encouragement, but
in 1915 1t "a united with Holland.
BY the revolution of 1890 Belgium at
tanned its independence, and MAIN
tanned It until 1914 when the German
hordes overran the land and again
transformed 1t into the cockpit of
Europe" /
