PLANNING MENUS

Satisfactory Answer to Question

Definite Schedule Will Be Great Help
in Avoiding Wsste-Meals Sug-
cested to Meet Food Admins
trstion's Requirements.

II will pay you, Mrs. Housekeeper,
TO sit down for an hour each week
and spend the time In planning your
weeks menus In advance. Especially
at this time when all are striving TO
conserve food, you will find a definite
schedule great help in avoiding
waste.
Here are some menus for a week
from a woman who believes in a work
ing schedule for her household. The
meals are carefully planned to meet,
first Of all, the food administration
requirements, using substitutes for
wheat, meat, fat, and sugar. and they
show also how a little careful plan
the busy housewife. Features of the
menus are the breadless meals and
quick breads" (mufiins, etc.) made
from other grains to save wheat, and
the use of meat substitutes and savory
dishes which call for little meat.
The meals suggested are all simple
and are planned to meet the needs Of
family of four, consisting Of two
adults and two children. None OF the
menus are infiexible but could easily
be varied to meet changing conditions.
You can use these as guides in plan
ming, your family meals.
The recipes for most Of the dishes
given in the accompanying menus are

like Uncle Joe Cannon that prOpO-

may feel reluctant about opposing

expressed his opinion in this respect,
and there is no doubt that Uncle Joe's
opinions get more respectful ana at

inch than those of any other legisla-

of one members passionate appeal in
which the Stars and Stripes were
waved and the eagle screamed, and
the burden Of his scream was, pass

emphatically, everything that comes

With the statement of. Majority
Leader Kitchin ringing in Its ears, to
the effect that congress would be able
to adjourn by July l If it attends strict-
ly 10 business from now on, the house
removed its fists from its eyes and
stopped bawling about politics and in
competence long enough to pass II mil
itary bills in one day recently. Most of
these bills We're rather unimportant,
but two or three involved good-siZed
appropriations or changes in policy.
Nevertheless the house seemed to be
more or less fascinated by the idea of
a midsummer adjournment, with pros
poets of four months political skull
busting" before the November cleo
tons, and the usual flow of useful Ian
guage was not in evidence. But
whether the effort will last or not Is
another story.

When the country is at war
aud the interests of the whole peo-
pie are bound up In the success of
the nation in that war, 1t may seem
strange that such drastic legislation is
necessary as that which has been pro-
posed and so strongly advocated in
both houses of congress. Looking back
through the vista of years II Is easy
TO explain why "copperheads" existed
in the northern states during the Civil
war. Those men not only had Bre1u-
dices against war. but they believed
states had right to secede. But when
there is no question Of the rights of
states, and further, there is no cues
ton as To the great disaster defeat for
the American arms would be to the
nation, II is certainly amazing that the
government is obliged TO go farther
than II ever did before In order TO Dur
down treason and sedltiOn.
But this fact stands out boldly {:
Whatever legislation is necessary TO
maintain the government in the pros.
ecution of the war will be enacted even
II II goes TO the extent of clothing the
president with still greater power than
he now has. The people throughout
the country who are guilty of foment-
ing treason and sedltion are responsi.
BILE for the drastic legislation which
has been enacted and which Will be
enacted in the future.

Speaker Clark cannot see that the
war Is going 10 make any difference
with the present condition, nor does
he believe that the men who come
back from the war will want to go to
the country and live on farms. He
thinks that there is a general tend
ency on the part of the people In the
country districts to move to the cities,
and although he recognizes it is very
serious question, he has not figured
out a remedy.
He spoke OF very interesting
phase of the colored situation in
number of states and particularly in
Missouri He said that the negroes
gravitate TO the river towns. ut must
be that there is some affinity between
a niger and a catfish" said the
speaker, ''for they have left good
places to go 10 towns along the riv-
ers. l know of places where they
could find employment for every men,
Der of the family, have a cabin and an
acre of land where they could run n

pull up stakes and go to the river
towns"
1t would thus appear that the drift
from the farms is not confined TO any
color OF race.

Never an issue of the Congress
sional Record these days but there are
remarks which "deplore partisan
criticism" and also assertions to
the effect that this is not time for
partisan discussion" At the same
time, as the election gets nearer and
nearer there is an increase of partisan
discussion. Naturally the attacks come
from the Republicans. They belong to
the opposition party. They are the
outs They must find enough faults
with the ms to convince the people
that there should be change when
they go to the polls next November.
AS consequence the "deplorng"
speeches come largely from the Demo-
cratic side in both senate and house.
At the same time it is observed that
the Democrats do not hesitate to at.
tack the Republicans whenever an op-
portunity affords. The Republicans
claim they have an excellent excuse
for exhibiting partisanship on account
of the strong support which President
Wilson and the entire Democratic nd
ministratiOn gave to Joseph Davies,
who was Democratic candidate for SEN
ator in Wisconsin. With an election
coming on, il is impossible TO keep
partisanship out Of congressional de-
bates.
There are lot of whipping boys"
connected with the administration.
Readers Of history know that as soon
as parliamentary bodies or ministries
became responsible to some extent for
carrying on the affairs of govern
ment, and even before, when the mon
arch was primarily responsible for
everything, the opponents never At
tackled the head of the administration
directly but severely castigated the
Kings advisers"
Rarely do the opponents of the adj
ministration say much in criticism d.
rectly of the president, but they do
take II out" on one or more of the
"whipping boys" A few years ago II
was Josephus Daniels of the navy de-
partment who was the prime whip

ton. Since the war began Secretary
Baker has been the principal whip

tor; Doctor Garfield, the fuel admin

his turn takes his place MS whipping

about these men, not only by Republi-
cans opposed politically TO TIE admin
