Mrs. Wilson
Answers Queries

My dear Mrs. Wilson Have
been reading your most valuable
articles from the first up to the
present one and want to thank YOU
for all the help they have been to
me, as l am, you might say, a be-
glnner, and now I would like YOU
to give me little tip about nv
tireless cooker. I have splendid
success with boiling or stewing,
but when it comes to roasting or
baking I am not so fortunate.
Have studied the cooker thor
oughly, but there seems to be too
much steam created when it comes
to roasting and the meat looks
stewed. l leave the catch off for
roasting or baking to let out the
steam, but the result is the same.
| think they are splendid and
the food tastes good. I tried bis
cults, using both hot disks; made
two pie plates full of biscuits. the
bottom ones Drowned on top and
the top ones on bottom. They also
do not raise. What can do to
have the cooker dry?
Mrs. M. D.
To Roast Meat in the Fireless Cooker
Heat the frying pan very hot and
then place in this pan the meat to be
roasted. Scar well on both sides
until rich brown. Now place in the
fireless-cooker container. Place hot
disk directly underneath the food and
then put a hot disk directly over the
food. The lid has a hook in it for
this purpose. This means that you
should use the large container for
roasting. Leave the lid of the fire.
less cooker unfastened to help
evaporate the moisture.
To bake biscuits in a freless
cooker you need three hot disks-one
below the first pie plate, one above il
and one above the second pie plate;
leave the cooker open. Biscuits will
be more satisfactory if baked in the
regular way in range. They require
from fifteen to eighteen minutes in
hot oven and it will require this
length of time to heat the disks, sc
there is no real or actual saving ir
the amount of heat used.

How Is This For
A "Rube" Record?

When Fred There came to Idaho
Springs thirty-6ve years ago, he
liked the town and it's surroundings
SO we'll that he decided to never let
night catch him out of town. As
city marshal, a job he held for a
number of years, There was obliged
frequently to 60 to Denver, but he
would rush back to Idaho Springs
for the night, where he might in
hale the ozone. laden air from a
thousand hills.
Mr.. There went to Denver We'd
nesday to remain several days and
will thus break his record. He
had not spent one single night
away from Idaho Springs in ten
years and not more than fifty in
the entire thirty Eve years he has
been resident of Idaho Springs.

Temporary Restriction
Of Foreign immigration

The immigration que st o n
should be taken up and considered
by Congress at once.
We have had but little immigra-
ton during the four years of war.
Now with conditions altered and
peace at hand it is not unreason-
able to suppose that after few
months immigration might begin
to flow into it's old channels.
Nearly four millions of our men
are in process of receiving honor
able discharge from the army and
navy, and will have to be reabsorbed
into the civilian life of the country
just how the readjustment of bust
ness may progress or how much
unemployment there may neces-
sarily be no one yet can tell.
We may not at once have jobs
for all our own men. They have
been our defense and in turn are
entitled to our protection.
A restriction of general immi-
grafton for some time to come can
harm no one, and may be of the
greatest value to our young men.
AS soon as reconstruction has pro-
gressed far enough SO that condi-
tions can be foreseen, it will be
an easy matter to let down the
bars
The time to attend to this limit
ing of immigration is the present.
just now no shipping can be
spared for the nse of immigrants,
and before this condition ends
proper legislation should be pro-
vided.
Our country has always been the
refuge of all nations. 1t will be
SO more truly again after a tent
porary restriction to meet condi-
tions.

The Lokal Anzeiger paints a drab,
tear-compelling picture Of the ex-
Kaiser lonely and broken" stepping
over the threshold into old age. 1t
is positively heart-melting Could
anything he sadder? Ina CINE the
plight Of this great humanitarian,
"lonely and brQken'', sitting in the
window of his prison stie watching
sorrows.
But that is not the; worst They
have not. only. stolen Williams purse
they have ripped his reputation into
shreds. AS the Lokal Anzeiger tells
it: "Bchind Wilhelm lies rich life,
ending in the dreadful four years of
war, during which his tortured soul
fell from proud hopes to bitter dis
appOlntmo emit, Wnen each NlCtOrlO us
JOY was drowned in a flood of cal
uunN". There you have it. The ma
tons lied about Hohenzollern. While
he was plaNfully butchering the wo-
men and children of Belgium and
France. the peoples Of the earth oC-
cupied themselves with whispering
falsehoods assailing the chara cter-
the upright, unbending, Puritan-like
character--of william Hohenzollern
of the firm Of Me und Gott''
In it's eagerness to win sympathy,
the Lokal Anzeiger accidentally
speaks the truth when it declares:
Before him lies dark and jOyless
future. It is positively invisorating
to find the German press telling the
truth with such debOnnare boldness.
Even better idea of Williams future
might be conveyed if the word
"hlacll'' were substituted for dark.
It's downright interra tional cruelty
to keep a nice man like William Hob
enzollern in such state of mind. 1t s
torture. that's what it is. So we are
in favor Of hanging him tomorrow.
