Here's the 1913 model pumpkin pie

Another pie expert varies this reel

by substituting 1 cupful OF fine rolled
cracker crumbs for 1 OF the eggs, and
reducing the sugar allowance to IL

that the pumpkin be cooked for pie by
baking instead OF boiling. Small vel

 To keep restless children amused through a long journey the mother should provide them with simple oc- equations, such as cutting out pie lures, or coarse knitting. Books. dolls, and other similar toys may be carried also. Unlimited patience will be the mothers best armament. A long journey is a fatiguing experience even for a seasoned adult and far more so for the restless child unac- customed to long sitting, and proba- bly, more or less upset by the excite ment attendant upon the preparations for the trip. The mother must keep herself as serene as possible, or her own nervous weariness will react still further upon the children.
 Children are frequently overdressed for Journey. Very simply made little dresses of gingham, or any of the pretty cotton materials, or wash silk with bloomers to match, look very nice and will come through a long trip and still be presentable at the end

OPERATORS GET
 GERMAN ORDERS

London, July Vz6-Wireless opera tors on American and other ships crossing the Atlantic at night fre- quently pick up" orders being sent by the German admiralty to submar- ines at sea. The messages are in code of course, and the submarines never acknowledge receipt of the or ders because if they did some war ship of the enemy might get clue as to the location of one or more of the under-sea boats.
 These messages to the submarines are from Nauen, a small town near Spandau, where Germany has it's great wireless station. Electrical waves produced there will reach some 5000 miles.
 Nine towers are in use, the highest being $50 feet Last year Nauen sent to the outside world almost B. O00,OOO words for the German gov- ernment.

pions of democracy. If we really are, indeed and in truth, let us see to it that we do not discredit our own. l say plainly that every American who takes part in the action of a mob or gives any sort of countenance is no true son of this great democracy, but its betrayer, and does more to dis credit her by that single disloyalty to her standards of law and right, than the words of her statesmen or the sacrifices of her heroic boys in the trenches can do to make suffer- ing peoples believe her to be their saviour. How shall we commend democracy to the acceptance of other peoples, if we disgrace our own by proving that it is, after all, no pro- lection to the weak? Every mob contributes to German lies about the United States, what her most gifted liars cannot improve upon by the way of calumny. They can at least Germany, except in times of revolu- ton when law is swept away!
 q therefore very earnestly and sol emnly beg that the governors of all the states, the law officers of every community, and, above all, the men and women of every community in the United States, all who revere America and wish to keep her name without stain or reproach, will CO., operate-not passively merely, but actively and watchfully-to make an end of this disgraceful evil. It can not live where the community does not countenance it.
 T have called upon the nation to put its great energy into this war and it has esponded-responded with spirit and a genius for action that has thrilled the world. now call upon 1t, upon it's men and wom- en everywhere, to see to 1t that its laws are kept inviolate, it's fame un- tarnished. Let us show our utter contempt for the things that have made this war hideous among tho wars of history by showing how those who love liberty and right and justice and are willing to lay down their lives for them upon foreign fields stand ready also to Illustrate to al mankind, their loyalty to all things at home which they wish to see es tablished everywhere as a blessing and protection to the peoples who have never known the privilege ol liberty and self government.
 'I can never accept any man as . champion of liberty either for our selves or for the world, who does no reverence and obey the laws of oul own beloved land, whose laws W. ourselves have made He ha adopted the standards of the enemies | of his country, whom he affects tt | despise.

vested immediately. The round or velvet-podded varieties may be left on the plant until all are ripe, since they do not split open. The seeds, after removal from the pods, should be dried and stored.
 Mustard seed can readily be grown from crop sown in very early Spring. When the pods have turn ed yellowish, cut the seed stalks in the early morning and spread them on paper or cloth under shelter. When the pods are quite dry, beat out the seed and spread it thinly for a week or ten days, as it heats read fly if in large bulk.
 The seeds of endive, radish, cab bage, kale, kohlrabi, callards, celery, leek, lettuce, beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and many others are needed in such small quantities by the home gardener that it hardly would pay to save them, so far as the money val ue is concerned. But the process of nature in producing these seeds is so interesting that it is-well worth while for the amateur or novice who has the time to spare and loves his gar den, to do a little experimenting. The Department of Agriculture will be glad to help him with illustrated in structions.
 Seeds which have been grown and carefully saved should be well la beled and stored or all the previous labor goes for nothing. Cloth bags are the best containers for large seeds such as peas, beans, and corn. They should be used also for larger quantities of small seeds, but for smaller lots paper envelopes made at home or purchased, are most desir- able.
 Correct labelling is of paramount importance. Every envelope or con- tainer should show the kind and va riety of seed, the date, including the month and year when harvested, and the place where grown For the cloth bags. a slip of paper bearing all this information should be inserted with the seed. It is very convenient al so to have a tag on the outside of the bag, but on no account should the in- ner label be omitted, because of the liability of loss of the outside tag.
 Many seeds, especially beans, corn, and lettuce, are subject to injury by a nunCer or insects, all or WHICH may be destroyed by Immigration with car bon disuIphid. Carbon disulphid is a liquid that can be purchased at any drug store. When poured into a dish it evaporates rapidly, producing a foul-smelling gas that is heavier than air. Therefore, in fumigating seeds to kill insects attacking them it is necessary to place the carbon disul- phid on top of the seeds in order that the gas may sink into them and reach every part of the container. A tight tin pail, box, or barrel makes an ex- cellent container for fumigating seeds For a tight barrel full of seeds one-half cupful of carbon disul- phid is sufficient. For smaller con tainers, use in proportion.
 Seeds to be fumigated must be dry, and if they are in paper bags the bags should be opened. The gas pen etrates cloth bags easily. The liquid may be placed in any shallow dish, such as a saucer or plate, or mere Iy poured on the seeds. The liquid will not injure the seeds if poured di-

IRISH PRIESTS STRONG AGAINST
 SlNN FE|NERS

Dublin, July 26.---(Correspondenc of The Associated Press. )---Some of the older Lrish priests, particularly in County Wexford, have been speaking out strongly. against the Sim Feiners. Very Rev. Canon Walsh, presiding at a meeting of the Crosabeg and ,BaIly- murn branch of the United Irish League, said the prospect before Ire land was gloomy one, as the "crim- inal lunacy of Sim Fein'' was turn ing all Ireland's friends against her. By insulting and trampling upon the American flag and cheering for Elm peror Villain, he said, the ''unruly' Sim Fein faction" was turning the French Republic, the American na- ton and the English democracy into bitter enemies of Ireland.
 Rather than gain independence for Ireland they were more likely to gain 20 years of coercion and martial law, if any general support were accorded by Irishmen to the antics of the "mis- erable faction" whose record, said Canon Walsh, so far, was one of dis sension, disruption and disaster. The democracy of England, he continued, was favorably disposed towards Irish men and was willing to do them jus tice, but they would never consent to the sheer lunacy of total separation and, until the evil spirit of Sim Fein was banished from the land, Ireland would labor under the yoke of op- pression.
 Resolutions were passed at the meeting condemning the latest Ger man outrage in murdering seven in nocent fishermen off the Galway coast; and denouncing the Gaelic League as "a feeder of Sim Fein."

Washington, July 26-Prestdent Wilson today, in a personal statement, addressed to his fellow countrymen, denouncing mob spirit and mob ac- tion, called upon the nation to show the world that while 1t fights for democracy on foreign fields, it is not destroying democracy at home. The president referred not alone to mob action against those suspected of be- ing enemy aliens or enemy sympa- thizers; he denounced most emphati- cally mob action of all sorts, especi- ally lynchings, and while he did not refer specifically to lynchings of ne groes in the South, it is know that he included them in his characterization of mob spirit as "a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice"
 It is known that the lynchings of negroes, as well as attacks upon those suspected of being enemies or sympa- thizers, have been used by the Ger man propaganda throughout Central and South America as we'll as in Flu rope, to contend that the pretensions of the United States as a champion of democracy are a sham.
 Deeply concerned by the situation, the president decided to address his fellow countrymen, and to declare that "every mob contributes to Ger man lies about the United States what her most gifted liars cannot improve upon by way of .calumny."
 The presidents statement in full follows:
 My Fellow Countrymen:-
 "I take the liberty of addressing you upon a subject which so vItally affects the honor of the nation and the very character and integrity of our institutions that I trust you will think me Justified in speaking very plainly about 1t.
 'I allude to the mob spirit which has recently here and there very fre- quently shown its head amongst us, rot in any single region, but ia many and widely separated parts of th- country. There have been many lynchings, and every one of them has been blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice. No man who loves America, no man who real ly cares for her fame and honor and character, or whc is truly loyal to her institutions, can Justify mob action while the courts of justice are open and the governments of the states and the nation are ready and able to do their duty. We are at this very moment fighting lawless passion Germany has outlawed herself among the nations because she has disregard ed the sacred obligations of law and has made lynchers of her armi.>s. 1ynchers emulate her disgraceful ex- ample.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THOSE |
 TRAVELLING WITH LDREN

Mrs. Max West of the Childrens Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor has written for the mothers who are helping in Children's Year suggestions that should make travel ing with young children under pres ent congested conditions safer for the babies and easier for the mother.
 Because of the great need for cars, locomotives and men to carry supplies of every sort many families will stay at home this summer, rather than take pleasure trips which necessitate railroad travel.
 If trip with young children is an absolute necessity it should be care fully planned as far in advance as possible. It is necessary to remerf1- Der that berths and seats can not now be reserved either by wire or other wise, but must be purchased with the ticket. If then a change from one road to another makes it necessary to secure sleeping car accommodations again, the traveller will have to take her chances on getting berths and seats, unless she has sent the noney on ahead and has either had the cou- pon returned to her or has had it put aside to be called for. In other words, the present regulations do not permit the reservation of space except when it is paid for on the spot.
 Regular fare on day caaches is now 3 cents a mile all over the United States, and there is besides an extra charge of one-half a cent mile for travel in Pullman or parlor cars. When to these charges the cost of the berth or parlor car seat, plus the war tax must be added, the total cost is materially in excess of the former ex- pense for the same travel
 When these changes have been taken into account, and accurate in- formation as to leaving and arriving times of all the trains and boats con- cerned has been secured, there are still many things for mothers to con- sider in starting on a journey with children. Food is perhaps her first problem. The easiest child to travel with is the young breast-fed baby. His food is all ready for him, and usually he sleeps most of the time the train seems to lull him to sleep. The bottle-fed baby presents the greatest problem. His milk should be made ready before starting on the journey. If certified milk can not be obtained the milk should be boiled or thoroughly sterilized, and packed in ice, after being cooled to 50 degrees. The porter will usually be able to have the milk kept in the refrigerator of the dining car, and to bring hot water f-
 bottle. These precautions are, of course, not so necessary when the trip can be accomplished in a single day, or even in 24 hours. For these trips 1t is possible to use dried or
