RUNNING WATER IN FARM
HOUSE Is A NECESSITY

Remember the time when YOU were
q little tad and lived on the farm and
a considerable distance from the near
est town? Remember every time il
was your time to go TO town with the
folks, how you had to ''lug' water
from nearby ditch to be heated so
mother could give you good wash
ing! You liked to go to town, but,
gee! how you hated that water pail.
and the ditch seemed farther away
with every bucket full you had TO
lug Yea, verify. it was some job.
You are a man now. Live on a
farm Of your own. Got most all the
modern convenien9s of everyday life
besides the latest in farm machinery.
haven't you? How about wife and
her end of the game-the house! Got
running water installed yet, The
greatest boon to the woman who does
her own house work is the installation
Of running water in the house. partic-
ularly the farmers wife. Running
water in the house means economy in
time and strength, enabling the busy
and often over-werked woman of the
house to do the same amount of work
in half the time and with greater ease
than when the water supply had to be
pumped or carried in and out fifty or
more times a day, besides the time
spent in waiting for it to heat when
hot water was needed.

The State Agricultural College at
Fl Collins has some good suggestions
to offer, on the subject, which we pass
on to those Of our readers who are in
tepsted.
Hot Water-The use Of hot water
enters into every home operation and
plenty of hot water summer and win
ter means much to the housewife.
Kitchen Use-Water in the kitchen
with sink Of proper height. with two
faucets, one furnishing hot and the
other furnishing cold water, makes the
work in the kitchen 100 per cent more
easy, as the water does not have to be
''lugged in" lifted 'to and from" the
stove to heat, then "lugged" out again
as soiled water.
"wash Day-washing day on the
farm is usually a "blue day" Can't
you imagine how nice it would be to
have plenty Of hot water at hand!
The Bath-Nothing is healthier
or more refreshing than bath. There
is nothing like cold plunge in the
morning or hot bath in the evening
after work to make one feel like a
new person."
Water in the home has many uses
and is a labor and time saver. Dur
ing house-cleaning time; for fire pro-
lection; in the sick room; for toilet
uses-washing the hair, and etc.-be-
sides 1t is a real economy to have run
ming water installed. Doing without
things that are really necessity is
the falsest Of false economy.

In making jelly It is well to remem-
ber the following rules:
Don't use fruit that is sweet or fruit
that is over-ripe. The juice will not
jell but will be syrupy instead.
If fruit is juicy, like berries, grapes,
etc, use little or no water; mash fruit
in kettle an cook. II fruit is not
juicy, use water to cover, no more.
Never force the juice thru jelly
bag if you want it to be clear. Just
let it drain for several hours.
In adding the sugar to the fruit
always have the juice boiling and the
sugar hot.
If fruit juices refuse to iell, little
lemon juice, ounce juice or the inner
skin from an orange peel should be
boiled with it, as these contain plenty
of pectin, which is absolutely neces-
sary to jelly making.
To secure the exact texture in jelly
making, "a pound of sugar and cups
of juice are the right proportions.
Jelly is done" when the juice drops
from the side of spoon in mass.
or when the drops run together and
drop at one time.
Always cover the top of the jelly
after it has been poured into glasses,
with parafin wax. This will prevent
it turning to sugar.

A high school in Cleveland, Ohio,
where the boys wear uniforms, is

A high school in Cleveland, Ohio,
where the boys wear uniforms, is
thinking Of adopting uniforms for the
girl students also. The girls them
selves were the ones to make the sug-
gestion. They called attention to the
fact that some Of their members were
unable to keep up with the ever-chang-
ing styles, and in view of the high
price OF fine shoes, hats, silk hose, and
etc, it was impossible not to create
hard feelings among the girls, where
some of them were able to afford fine
clothes, while others were barely able
to dress decently, They asked that
the school authorities adopt some kind
of uniform to be worn by those at
tending that particular school, making
q preference to suits of navy blue OF
black, made sailor style, with caps
to match. Wouldn't this be snap
for the parents of all girls attending
schools throughout the country, II
uniforms were adopted. Growing
girls and boys run up pretty stiff
bill for clothes during a school year,
yet, after all is said and done, two
thirds Of the bill could easily be elm
mated by the wearing of SIMPLER and
less variety of clothes.

Peach Jelly

The peaches used for jelly-making
should not be entirely ripe; rub off
the down, cut into pieces and remove
pits. Cover with water and cook till
perfectly soft then turn into jelly
bag and let drip all night, or for at
least several hours. To every cupful
of juice allow the strained juice Of "
lemon and u pound sugar (sugar
must be heated in oven first) Cook
the unsweetened juice for 20 minutes,
then add sugar and boil for 5 minutes
Pour into jelly glasses. This is one of
the best jellies to use as q cake filling.

One Lesson Enough.

'Tis said that little learning is a
dangerous thing. Certainly one old
lady living in Akron, Ohio thinks SO,
no doubt. Altho she was ninety years
Of age. she had never been in an auto
until last week, when her daughter
prevailed on her to take ride in her
car. A few hours after starting,
the aoto party collided with tele-
phone pole. No one was injured but
the old lady was badly scared and no
amount Of coaxing or bribery could
induce her to return home in the car.
She made the return journey by rail-
road.

Apple and Grape Jelly

Use crab apples. Do not peel but
cut up into small pieces. Stem grapes
and use equal amounts of each, but
only u as much water as there is
fruit. Cook till fruit is soft, then
strain thru jelly bag. To each "
pint of juice, allow one scant cupful of
sugar. Cook juice 20 minutes before

Down in q county in the state of
Kansas, the recent shortage of labor
played havoc with the good roads
movement in that section-that is, un-
til the women rolled up their sleeves,
donned overalls and with picks and

was that the roads were not only inn
proved, but kept in first-rate condi-
tion by the men folks, whose feelings
were considerably ruffled when their
women folks "put 1t all over 'em."

Socialism Reverts Back
To Slavery, Saws Pastor

Columbus, O., Dec. 19.-"Socialism
is but reverting back to the days of
slavery" according to Rev. DR..
Burt D. Evans, local clergyman.
Discussing THE Program and
the Promise of Socialism," Rev. DR.
Evans said socialists have pictured
land where work is equally dis
tributed.
mo one would object to such a
state Of life, but who would perform
the irksome, tedious and tiresome
work of the world"
The socialistic plan as explained
by DR.. Evans as follows:
There must be an armed force to
carry out the orders of the socialis-
tic government. Those who grumble
at the work assigned them will for
felt their share in the property OF
the state. To insure the progress Of
socialism and to prevent disorder,
public meetings must be prohibited
and the present freedom of the press
placed under a check.
Gas far as | can see, there is no
difference between the socialistic
plan and the old slave law in south
ern states which permitted the
whites to use armed force against
the slaves, denied slaves certain
privileges If they grumbled, or left
the plantation and which prohibited
slaves from holding public meet

OF
DEMOCRATSGOE
OVER TO JAN. IS
Postponement Said to Increase
Underwood's Chances Over
Hitchcock's.

Washington, Dec. lo.-The con-
ference of democratic senator's called
for Saturday to consider election Of
a minority leader was postponed
until January Is.
Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska,
acting democratic leader since the
death of Senator Martin of Virginia,
cancelled the call for the conference
after an agreement with Senator I'm.
derwood of Alabama, his opponent
for the democratic leadership in the
senate, who advocated postponement
because of the absence of many SEN
ators, and also. in order that Secre-
tary Glass might take his seat under
appointment to fill out Senator Mar
tins term.
In the opinion of Senator Under
woods friends, postponement in
creased his chances of election, be-
cause it is hoped that by January
IS final action may be reached on the
German treaty. Senator Hitchcock
managers, however, declared that
they are assured of enough votes tc
insure his election.

:" Prosecuted" Bugler Gives
Personal Tale of affair"
Fort Omaha Soldier, in Letter to The Bee, Denies
Some Things and Admits Others-Wants to Keep
Stigma From Army Character.

the occurrence an ugly appearance
to my detriment, | cannot say. If
your publication stands for fair
play it will see the soldiers at Fort
Omaha are cleared of any shadow
that might fall on their regulations
by a Misrepresentation of the facts
in the case.
1T is not only to my interest that
a proper account of this affair be
given but it is to clear the entire
enlisted personnel at Fort Omaha
OF any stigma against their name.
THE following is the actual
statement of the facts of the case:
Girl Was Locked Out.
Following a telephone CONVERSE
ton with the young lady in question
l was requested to call at her home
where she would meet me and re-
turn to the fort for the evening, as
| was on duty and must be present
to perform my proper duties as
bugler of the guard.
Upon arriving at the house j
found that the young lady was not
in sight. Upon ringing the bell it
was answered by Mr.. Williamson,
who refused to let me speak to Miss
Boydson. At that time Miss Boyd
son appeared, saying that she would
talk to me at the kitchen door,
When she came out Mr.. Williamson
locked the door behind her and re-
fused to let her in to get suitable
clothing for the cold weather.
Invited the Man Out.
After pleading with Mr.. Will
hanson to let Miss Boydson in to
get proper clothing, in anger
against his cruelty to Miss Boyd
son. ! invited him outside, stating
That I would lick him on less
ground than it took to stand on.
Mr.. Williamson then disappeared,
and shortly after the police arrived
in response to his telephone call.
Referred to BUNS"
"The statement that l attempted
to force an entrance is untrue. The
article also fails to state that Mr..
Williamson made the statement that
he didn't want any buns hanging
around his place AS this state
ment was made before hostilities
commenced it is rather unfair to
the military forces now in Omaha.
PAUL FOWLER"
The statement that Mr.. Fowler
attempted to force his way into the
house was made by Mr.. William
son and was not the imagination
of a reporter"

ANOTHER TRIAL
AT COMPROMISE
ON THE TREATY
Formal Consideration to Be
Opened in Prepare
ton for After.HoIi-
day Session.

Washington, Dec. 1o.-Formal
consideration Of the peace treaty
fight will be reopened Saturday by
the senate foreign relations commit
tee. and an effort made to work out
new compromise plan to be placed
before the senate after the holidays.
The resolution of Senator Knox,
republican, Pennsylvania, to declare
a state of peace is expected to be
the basis Of the committees work.
Various notifications are expected,
however, so as to incorporate pro-
visions which republican leaders
hope will draw democratic support.
Policy Declaration.
Among the changes and additions
understood to have been considered
by the republicans is one designed
to preserve to the United States any
material advantages embodied in the
treaty as it stands. Another sugges-
ton is that the resolution include
general declaration of policy pledg-
ing the United States to entervene
in any future European war which
menaces civilization.
Some members of the committee
desire to see action also on Senator
knox's alternate resolution to rati-
fy the treaty with the league of ma
tions covenant excluded, but the OBJ
lection was made today that two
thirds vote would be required for
that measure, making the outcome
much more doubtful.
May Ratify by January IS.
Democratic members of the conf
mittee were not hopeful tonight that
the republican majority woulg get to-
gether tomorrow on any compromise
measure acceptable to the admin
istration forces in the senate. All
proposals for a separate declara-
ton of peace have met with stub
born democratic resistance hereto
fore, and it was predicted i'll some
quarters, that lengthy debate in the
committee would prevent action to-
morrow.
While the committee leaders were
shaping plans for consideration of
the peace resolution as a compro-
mise, number of senator's of both
parties continued to urge general
conference in January, of democrats
and republicans earnestly desiring
ratification with reservations. So
confident were some of these sem
ators that they predicted such a
ratification by January IS.
