Senator La Toilette at one time de-
clared that rich fnanciecs were behind
the war propaganda, and that they
wanted war SO that they and their kind
could make huge war profits.
because he said that Senator La Fol-
lette was denounced by these pluto
cratic patriots and by, all their news
paper organs as traitor, the New
York World, owned by the little Pulitzers,
and the New York Sun, Herald, Times
and Tribune, all owned by the asso-
ciates and benefciaries of trust pluto
Gratis, leading the chorus OF denunciation
and shouting for the expulsion of Senator
La Toilette from the Congress.
'But now these rich rogues of Hog
Island have either proved that La
Toilette was absolutely truthful in de-
scribing their secret motives, or else
that they themselves have turned rogues
and profteers and virtual traitors since
La Toilette declared them to be.
"And we ask fairly and frankly if
La Toilette de-erves expulsion from the
Senate on tie ground that he said
certain rich financiers wanted war for
profteering's and said so falsely
as those men claimed-then, in that
case, what do these rich rogues Woo have
made good Senator La Folette's de-
scription of their motives, and who have
endangered tie nations cause to satisfy
their own base greed, deserve as a
fitting and sufficient punishment The

La Toilette has told us that he knows
he is being crucified, and that he knows
why he is being tortured and mis-
represented.
Recently there appeared in a we'll
known magazine a statement in re La
Toilette, which ought to be nay, will
be more widely disseminated, as thus:
Already there is better under

getting the truth and understanding the
reason why the system press is lying
about him. To pay our debts we must
have financial system Of taxation.

THE SIGHT OF INEQUALITY


- saw tie world round NE. one part
laboring 70: bread, and the other part
squandering in vile excess or empty
pleasures, equally miserable, because
the end they proposed still fed from
them; for the man Of pleasure every
day surfeited Of his vice, and heaped
up work for sorrow and repentance;
and tie man of labor spent his strength
in daily struggling for bread to maintain
the vital strength he labored with;
so living in a daily circulation OF sorrow,
living but to work, and working but to
live, as if daily bread were the only
end of wearisome life, and a weari-
some life the only occasion of daily bread.

FROM COVER THERE"

A letter dated February. 28th and
heaGed Somewhere in France" was
received by Mrs. E. R. Nichols Of Route
5, New Ulm, MINI. 1t was written
by her son, William, who is a member
of the 8O1st Aero Repair Squadron
in tie American Exreditionary Forces.
He tells of just receiving his Christ
mas box and speaks of the good things
in it as follows: II am sure the little
hoys were busy cracking those butter
nuts. They were certainly fine and
some Of the boys here who are from TIE
Southern States had never eaten any of

SWEET AND sAvoRY oMELET {.

It is too true that many house-keepers
never make omelets of any sort. This
IS a pity, for nothing IS. more simple te
make or better to eat. There is nothing
in the task to battle any cook Too
intense heat cooks an omelet hard and
dry, and perhaps this is one reason we
do not excel in preparing it delicately;
we like to cook with a hot fire or high
gas flame.
Use large pan SO that the mixture
can spread out, and use neither -four
nor milk in it under any circumstances,
Use eggs only; or if necessity dictates.
use eggs, water and little corn starch.
The variations of omelets are almost
as many as there are articles of food.
They may be sweetened with conserves
and jelly; or made piquant and saw
DRY with bit of we'll seasoned ham;
or savory herbs may be used. All
omelets may be of almost anything.
The most famous omelets are those
attributed to Madam Poulard, French
innkeeper. She said Zig htness of touch,
delicate seasoning, hot platters and
quick service were all the secrets she
possessed.
Parsley omelet: This is not a fine
herb omelet, although it is often spoken
Of as such. Chop as much parsley
as you like and, after washing it, dry it
we'll in cloth. Break four or six eggs
into bowl; beat them a trihe; add the
parsley; salt and pepper. Put two
tablespoons of oil into frying pan and
when it is hot turn in the eggs. Use
spatula to slip under the edges, and watch
carefully to see that it cooks evenly.
When done, either invert onto a heated
plate, or roll it up like a jelly roll cake
and serve, or slip it from the pan to the
serving plate and garnish it.
Foamy omelets are made by beat
ing the yolks and whites of the eggs
separately and then combining them.
These are usually sweetened and flaw
ored.
A creamy ome.et that Madam Pou-
lard would heartily condemn, but that
economy recommends when eggs are
scarce and high, is a plain creamy
onelet. To four eggs, beaten light,
add salt and pepper to suit taste; eight
tablespoons of cold water; one level
tablespoon corn starch; one tablespoon
butter melted.
Bacon omelet: Make as above, but
add cooked, finely chopped bacon.
Saltfsh omelet: Use any left over
creamed saltfsh and bits of red pep
per. Either mix this with the eggs,
or add it while the omelet is cooking.
+ Kidney ~omelet is especially we'll
liked if made with kidneys which are
stewed quite tender, minced fine, and
highly seasoned.
A combination we should know bet
ter, and use more often, is eggs and
cheese. Cheese omelet is rich and
easy to prepare, but a greater favorite
is eggs scrambled with cheese Pre-
pare the omelet pan as for omelet. Beat
the eggs and season them, and add a
tablespoon of grated cheese to each
egg used. The cheese should be his hly
favored, but not strong. We Go nos
get Parmesan now, and find that do
nestle cheeses do very well.

band went in search of her. But he
went in the direction of the City Hos
pital, thinking his wife had gone to
that place to see her daughter, Mrs

trace was to be had.

eral weeks and were staying at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin How
ard during the extreme illness of
Mrs. Howard. The Mortimeyers
live in Brunswick, Mo.

and GeorgeR. Byers, two boys, were
searching for the woman and found
tracks in the snow leading to the
Wade pasture. They found the body
on the hillside, known as Cauthorn
Hill. She was clad in light gar
ments and death is supposed to be
the result of exposure.
Mrs. Mortimeyer is supposed to
have been temporarily deranged.
Grief over the illness of her daugn-
ter and anxiety over the son in the
war are given as probable causes.
The body will be taken to Bruins
wick for burial. Mrs. Mortimeyer
is survived by her husband, three
sons and four daughters; Roy at
Camp Funston, Fred and Dewey at
Brunswick, Mrs. Cora Braymer of
