Hot Springs Elks Plans for Home
 Are Approved

Hot Springs, July 19.- E. Lynn Howlet, representative of the Hot Springs lodge of Elks at the Allan tic City convention, advised the lodge last night that the national association has approved the plans of the local lodge to erect one of the largest and handsomest homes in the United States. The building is to cost $1OO,O0O Plans for financing have been worked out, and the lodge is prepared to take steps to begin work immediately.
 The beautiful edifice is to be erect ed on the most desirable site of the present Elks' building, which while one of the best built and finest il the city, will be torn away to make room for the new structure. The home is to contain one hun dred rooms, fitted up in the mos1 approved style, and these are to be reserved for visiting Elks who come here for their health, and who de- sire the special accommodations tha are to be provided.

Excellent Plan
 Is to Think of
 Food in Groups
Prepared Meats.

There are times when the most conscientious housekeeper gets tired of cooking. This is the moment to take advantage of the large number of foods included in the group of pre- pared meats. In this category should be included the cooked meats ready for the table, such as brisket, chick en, beef, ham, and veal loaf, and the smoked and prepared meats, of which ham, bacon and sausage are the most familiar examples.
 Few housekeepers are aware of the great variety of changes that may be worked in the every day menu by use of these last named pro- ducts. Some cooking experts refer to them as meat extenders," that is they give the meat taste to dishes made largely of other products
 Bacon and sausage as side dishes are not an extravaganza, if they are eaten; in fact, the fowl boiled with bacon or the roast chicken garnish- ed with farm sausage will serve a good family for two meals in place of one, as might be the case If the fowl or chicken were served alone.
 Uncle Sam when he had millions of soldiers to feed invested largely in prepared and smoked meats. So the next time you wish something novel or something easy to prepare ] think of this group. Undoubtedly some examples of it are already on your emergency shelf.
 Ham Steak.
 Cut thick slice of nam from the large part of the ham, put on colo frying pan and place over the fire to cook. Turn the ham three or foul times during cooking. Serve on plat ter surrounded with apple rings.
 Stuffed Apples.

EXEMPT FROM STATE TAXES

Austin, Tex, July 19.-Declarng themselves outside the jurisdiction of the state of Texts, many persons llv- ing on the bacos or cut-offs on the United States side of the Rio Grande have refused to pay state taxes.
 This was learned when a resolu- tion was adopted in the Texas legls- lature requesting congress to cede to this state those cut-offs, caused by alterations in the course of the river which were ceded to the United States in the 1907 treaty with Mexico
 The resolution points out that the United States "has neglected to trans fer" this territory to Texas, and a consequence, persons dwelling on those parcels of land refuse to recog- nize the jurisdiction of state officers and courts.

TREMENS CAUSE DISEASE

St. Louis, July 19.-There has been q marked decrease in the number of delirium tremens cases here since wartime prohibition became ettectlVe' according to city authorities. Hospl- tai physicians had expected that the sudden change would cause habituai drinkers to resart to substitutes and thereby increase the number ot cases
 Less than a dozen sufferers have been treated at city institutions since July 1. Records show that this num- Der were brought to the City Hospl- tai nearly every 36 hours before dry law became effective.
 Officials of private institutions say delirium tremens cases have beer few.

Salt.
 Select apples of uniform size, wash and remove core. Fill the center of each apple with sausage, cover with buttered crumbs, and arrange in a baking dish. Bake until crumbs are brown and apple is thoroughly cooked. Serve from dish in which they are baked or on plate with tri- angles of toast and parsley garnish.
 Broiled Bacon.
 Select good brand of sliced ba- con, put on a cold frying pan and place over the fire to cook. Turn the bacon three or four time during cooking. The best results are ob- tained by cooking tacon over a very moderate heat, and pouring off some of the fat as it collects in the pan.

The President is possessed of an independent
mind. He has way of making up his opinions
very largely without consultation with others and
regardless of what may be thought of what he says
and does. But in this veto it is possible he deliber-
ately chose to invite the criticism of the millions
who will think his action immoral and unwarranted
in an effort to pour oil upon the troubled waters of
industrialism at time when oil is needed if ever
it was. Perhaps the President saw more good than
harm in brief inning for the No Beer, No Work"
crowd just at this time with perpetual prohibition
only few weeks in the ofing. Of course, the mo
Beer, No Work slogan is an absurdty Carried
to its logical conclusion as has been SO apty stated
it becomes No beer, no work; no work, no
pay; no pay, no eat; eat, live
But it might take some time to convince some
of the radicals of the inevitabIeness of this con-
cusion, and proving it to them IS not Of first i'm
por'ance just now.
Of one thing may be certain: The Pres-
dent { dn't veto the dry enforcement act Just "a

ART IN BABY FINGERPRINTs.

Now and then the work-a-day world runs
across something in the news of the day that rugs

New York-wcked cold hearted New York
that baby finger prints the wallpaper are the
finest examples of mural art. This was the de-
cision handed down in the Bronx municipal court
by Justice Robtzek, in dismissing suit to recover
alleged damages because a baby had embellished
the interior decorations of azr apaEbanent with a
friese all its own.
This would be happier world to live in, -
the justice said, if baby fingers could only make
their imprint on the hearts of men and women.

SEND THEM BACK.

Our forefathers fought for this country first,
and fought next to establish government here.
Aliens, who crossed the ocean during recent years
to make their homes in America insist on enjoying
all of the privileges and paying none of the price.
Not only that, but they want to overthrow our
government and set up one after their own ideas;
like guests who come into your house, turn your
family out and take possession The best thing our
country do is to send those people back whence
they came, and the sooner this is done the safer
