PRAISE FOR CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Under the caption, "Prelate and
Statesman" The Louisville Courier
Journal, the leading newspaper OF
Kentucky, comments as follows upon
the statement regarding postwar re
construction, given out by Cardinal
Gibbons on December "a:
No utterance of this Christmas
season is more notable than that OF

nent 4 statesman.
And it is as q statesman that his
Christmas observations this year, are
impressive.
After commenting appreciatively on
the part we have taken in the war and
hopefully on the outcome Of the peace
conference, he takes up some matters
of close and vital concern to our
selves.
Il feel no anxiety with regard to
the future of our own country" he
says. Il feel that we will go on, that
We will make progress toward a far
better understanding among all our
people: that our accomplishments in
tho war will be as light to guide us
to the accomplishment of better and
finer things of peace; that our people
as a whole, after their experiences il
the last couple of years, will be of a
broader vision in the future and of
a higher courage; that the soul of the
nation viii be more alive and more re.
spon9ive TO the higher appeal.
"iuch concern seems to be felt
about the labor situation throughout
the country; and there are fears as to
the outcome of the readjdstment per
i0d. I feel little troubled about that
l am sure the working people Of tbs
country are men of intelligence and
common sense. They know full well
that their condition here is better
than that Of men in similar stations
anywhere else in the world, and that
the disposition of those, who employ
them, is to treat them justly and gen
erorsly. They know these things; and
they know, too, that any social up
heaval would bear more heavily upon

them than upon any other class, ana
would hurt them more than it would
hurt any other class
With the same good sense he
touches on the question Of Socialism:
''As for the spread of Socialism in
!! America, which some dread, feel no
apprehension whatever, and feel there
is mo actual grievance, about which he
man or set of men can raise storm
in this country without some real
grievances; and every Socialist in: the
land, down in his heart. knows there
is no actual grievance, about which he
can justly omplain-certainly no
grievance that would warrant the
overturning of the social structure and
the ruin, industrial, and every sort
that would ensue. And the working
people of the country know this as
WE'LL and | have no fear that they
will be led astray by the specious doc
trines of Socialism to their own un-
doing"
Cardinal Gibbons is too intelligent
character of the mass Of the American
people, to be alarmed by the vapor-
ings about the menace in this country
Of the Bolsheyiki bugaboo, vaporings
which are not uncommon now from
the lips Of the superficial Or thought
less. But there is a real danger now
confronting the American people,
which menaces the, basic institutions
of this system of government. Card
inal Gibbons is not slow to detect this
Fears as to the labor situation" he
says, fears about the spread of So
cialism and kindred doctrines do not
trouble me. The only apprehension
| might have would be with regard to
the consolidation Of control of the
great public interests of the country
in the authorities of the Government
itself. These interests are vast and
wide reaching, and control the Well
being of millions of men-such inter
ests as the railroads and the tele-
graphs, as we'll as others.
Il should be sorry to see these
things put under the direction of any
federal administration. The men en-
ployed in these industries and utili-
ties would form the preponderating in
terest in any administration, and
would tend to a perpetuation of
power. l believe in division of power,
and think it best for the country. l
should be sorry to see any invasion
by the administrative department of
the Government upon the rights of the
other departments
The Courier-Journal feels that it
does it's readers a service in making
these quotations from the Christmas
address of Cardinal Gibbons. Those,
who did not read it yesterday, are
thus reminded to read it today.
Those who read it yesterday, will do
well to read it again.

cleaner, of which the Aromita is typical,
which consists simply of a metal plate,
to be placed in boiling water with
stated proportion of washing or baking
soda and salt. The silver to be cleaned
is immersed in the water, but some
part of every piece must come in con-
tact with the plate, and preferably the
pieces should also touch each other. AS
if by magic the tarnish disappears unless
it is very heavy, and it is only neces-
sary to rinse the pieces and wipe them
off to complete the job.
The explanation of this household
magic is merely that the metals in the
plate when brought in contact with the
salt and soda solution cause the water
(HsO) to break up into oxygen and by
drogen, and the tarnish, which is a sui
phur compound, is attracted to the hy-
drogen and leaves the silver to combine
with it, forming hydrogen sulphide,
which passes OFF as a gas, making the
bubbles noted in the water. The silver
is not attacked, there being nothing
present that acts upon the metal itself.

How to Crate a Lemon

TIME grating of a lemon is most SIM
pie operation and it may seem that
every one must know how to do it,
but this is far from being true, as many
cases of curdled custards and sauces can
easily testify. The object of using grated
rind of lemon is to obtain the fragrance
and favor, which differ greatly from
any extracts, however good. Now, the
whole of the oil which contains this
fragrance is at the surface-is, in fact,
the yellow portion of the rind; therefore
this, and only this, must be removed
with the crater. The white part under
meath IL bitter and causes milk or cream
to curdlc, bat it contains no part Of the
lemon favor. Yet when lemon flavor Is
called for the lemon is often grated down
right to the pulp In parts while the yell

By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

<<"OING like hot cakes is
r slang expression that rests
on sound foundation of fact.
1t is true that hot breads, whether pam
cakes. waffies, mullins or the delightful
''riz" rolls that every Homecoming SOL
der and sailor is craving, cannot be
highly recommended for those with deli
cate digestions; but if rightly made,
without suspicion of grease or heavi-
ness, they may be safely used in moder-
alton by every one.
In mixing the various batters for
these hot breads the greatest difficulty
that the inexperienced housewife finds
is that the mixture dumps" Nearly al
ways this is because all the liquid IS
added first and then the flour. The right
way, however, is to have the given guam
tity of flour ready and add the COM
bined liquids by degrees, as stiff batter
will never "lump" and when smooth it
can be easily thinned as desired.
An aluminium griddle or an old-fash-
toned "soapstone" variety cannot be
too strongly recommended for frying
all griddle cakes, as either can be kept
clean and smooth with rubbing of dry
salt. If the housewife will always
remember to put in shortening of some
kind with the batter no greasing of
the griddle will be required, nor will
there be any disagreeable smoke or odor
while cooking.
When making wafies, it is suggested
that the melted shortening be applied to
the iron with small, flat paint brush
kept expressly for that purpose, for in
this way every crevice may be thorough
ly CREASED without any excess of fat.

piece This means that it takes this
length of time for the iron to drop to
$50 to 2SO degrees, minimum ironing
temperatures.
Disseminating the iron cuts down the
electric bill and prevents danger Of
scorching. Since the iron uses 515 watts
an hour, the operating expense is a
little over s cents an hour, when the
rate is 10 cents kilowatt hour. Saving

Fruits Of Experience

A lemon should be grated evenly, be-
ginning at the end and working round it,
using as small a surface Of the crater
as possible to prevent waste. The habit
of turning the lemon as you CRATE comes
as easily as to turn an apple under the
knife when peeling. Generally twice
across the crater and back between each
turn will remove all the essential oil,
but while guarding against grating too
deeply care must be taken to remove the
whole of the yellow surface. A we'll
grated lemon should be exactly of the
same shape as before grating; no deep
scores into the pith and an oily looking
surface. j. w. w., New York.

In baking on griddles, the degree of
heat should be greatest when the batter
is first poured on, after which it can
be reduced and the cakes cooked thor
oughly. An underdone cake is second
only in failure to scorched one. If the
cake or waf1es do not brown readily,
add teaspoonful of molasses and note
the improvement.
A very good mock honey is made in
this way: Boil two cupsful of graduated
sugar for about six minutes. Do not
stir while cooking, and wash down the
sides of the saucepan as in making
fondant. Remove from the fire, stir in
four tablespoonful of strained honey
and serve cold. Another good combina-
ton to use with griddle cakes and
waffles is a mixture of powdered sugar
and ground cinnamon.
The Baptist cakes are merely tiny
pieces of bread or roll dough (made with
yeast), pinched off and made into tiny
forms the size of lead pencil. They
are allowed to rise until double in size,
and then are fried like doughnuts.

TO Remove That Flat Taste From
Boiled Water

Many housekeepers boil their drink
ing water in order to avoid diseases.
The family often demurs at it's use, ow-
ing to the "fiat taste" it acquires. This,
however, can be overcome by placing the
cooled water in large fruit jar, ad-
shaking rapidly until tho water is full
OF bubbles. This aerates it and it loses
Its insipid flavor.
