had already complained in the Governor Generals
of the abuse which, according to him. priests made of
the liberty of speech granted them. The Cardinal
having asked for precise Details the Baron answered
that he did not wish to bring about discussion this
subject as he had not brought with him the documents
in possession of the General Government discriminating
number of priests.
Time and again Won Bissing returned TO this sub
ject. Setting aside the generaites to which he had
confined himself hitherto, he accused by certain
priests of giving vent in their to strong feel

Dorothy Dunn was the delightful lit

to the rather mechanical movement Of

Kingdom Come" last night at the Wal

In her little red dress that was ms
unstudied in the hang of it as her per-

by far the most natural character of
the play. Dramatization from novels
is quite generally, it seems, a polyglot
of episodes which eventually rumble
along to some sort of happy ending, and
'eThe Little Shepherd of Kingdom

was pleasant rambling withal.

Supports Family
by Home Canning

The sale of her canned fruits
and vegetables has enabled a wo-
man in Albemarle County, Va, to
feed and clothe her eight children
the last two years. When war was
declared her eldest son enlisted in
the Navy. In a few months the
second son went into the Army,
and the mother was left to wrestle
with the problem of providing
three meals a day for the eight
brothers and sisters.

stration agent of the United States

but he does not have very much to
saw about it at the time the deed
is done. The whole thing happens
at a critical time in his life when
his powers of reasoning are numb
and when he is intoxicated with
something that makes him passive
and peaceful. Most of my work of
that kind is done Immediately after
the ceremony, for it is sure thing
that he would not go through with
it if the matter would wait a few
DAYS and he could get a chance to
take a long look at what was
going on.

they may not. We are dealing with
an unknown quantity. But it really
doesn't make much difference. It
is all business, and whether it is a
whole lot of the crude stuff or less
of the artistic stuff it amounts to
about the same in the long run.
We charge more for the fine, big,
artistic pictures of the bride, but
the smaller print with the bride
groom mixed up with it already
has been introduced, is more wide
ly known and more of this work
is done. 1t was good business, as
far as business goes, and as for
the art it is good deal matter of
taste. If they like them, it is up
to US to give them what they
want"
The pictures that are taken later
in life, when the husband comes in
and bargains with the photograph
er to "shoot" his whole family on
one negative, also are being mill
tated against by innovations of the
photographers. Mother and child,
minus the father, is the vogue, and
pictures of the children alone also
are favored in the new styles. Ger
tain photographers of the city
make a specially of photographing
children, and the ideal of the
Photographic artist is to get char
acteristic child color and action
rather than the stiff, conventional
pose that is revealed to US from
the old family album.

THE BRIDEGROOM
WOULD LIKE TO KEEP
OUT OF 1T
Wedding Photos Now Con

Bride

From Louisville Courier-J ournal
Do you remember the picture in
the old family album of the bridal
couple and their "just married. ex-
preston?
Well, such pictures are almost
as popular as ever, even though
high society is inclined to froWn
upon them land a certain sophistl-
Gated class laughs at them. The
rank and file continue to rank and
file into the art emporium under
the skylight, and the bridegroom,
in the terrible dress suit, seats
himself meekly in the plush chair
and the bride stands beside him
and clutches him triumphantly by
the shoulder, and the relentless
photographer photographs it in all
llS gldlTlHS TedlISll.
Local photographers are intro
ducing novelties which may tend
to do away with the oldtime custom
that started in tintype days. They
are exhibiting the latest art in
photographing the bride in her
halo of veil and flowers, and are
appealing to the brides artistic
sense to do away with the discord-
ant note that is rung in on the
music of the spheres and the gen.
eral fitness of things when the
bridegroom, in his hopeless black,
and his helpless smile put in his
dark appearance on the scene. The
idea promises to be one of the sub
jects to be considered at the next
convention of photographers, ac-
cording to local squeezers of the
fatal rubber bulb.
'But, after all, it is the bride
who will really have the final say

numerous nuptial notches on his
camera commented. "That is why

Recently the State Board Of
Agriculture advised farmers to buy
fertilizer materials and mix them,
provided they could not buy mixed
goods at about the same price, for
the same kind and amount of avail
able plant food. In reply to ques-
tions, the Board now makes the fol-
lowing suggestions about mixing
fertilizer materials.
For corn and other field crops
a fertilizer containing 2 per cent
of ammonia and 13 per cent phos-
phoric acid can be made by mixing
500 pounds of tankage containing
per cent ammonia and 4 per cent
phosphoric acid with 1900 pounds
of acid phosphate containing 16
per cent of available phosphoric
acid. This will also be a good fer
tilizer for wheat when it is put in
in the fall. Acidulated fish scrap
containing per cent ammonia and
per cent phosphoric acid can be
used in the place of tankage.
Standard fish scrap contains about
s per cent ammonia and A per cent
available phosphoric acid.
For higher grade of ammon-
lated goods equal qualities Of acid
ulated fish scrap or s per cent
tankage and 16 per cent acid phos-
phate can be mixed. Using 1000

pounds of the fish scrap or tank
age, whichever may be preferred,
and 1000 pounds of 16 per cent
acid phosphate will make a mix
ture containing 4 ammonia and 10
per cent phosphoric acid. This can
be used for early truck, for canta-
loupes, water melons, and toma-
toes. For very early truck the pro-
portion of fish scrap or tankage
may be increased, even up to 1900
pounds of fish scrap or tankage to
500 pounds of acid phosphate. This
will make fertilizer containing 6
per cent ammonia and 7 per cent
phosphoric acid.
These materials can usually be
purchased of local fertilizer deal
ers, or in carload lots of manu-
facturers.
BY comparing the price of the
fertilizers mixed as above with
reday mixed goods containing the
same percentage of ammonia and
available phosphoric acid, the
farmer can readily see whether he
will gain anything by buying the
materials and mixing them at
home.
If necessary to have potash this,
also, can be purchased of fertilizer
dealers.

For The
Homemaker's Eve
Utilizing Left-Overs

The spoonful or so of leftover
food, the despair of the economical
housewife, has through attention
to saving during the past year or
so, been utilized in many ways. A
little thought and ingenuity will
prevent waste due to patriotic fer
vor is saving this little dab" of
food only to throw it anay later,
as often happens.
1t is quite the proper thing these
days to waste absolutely nothing
and to use as much economy as
possible in the planning of meals.
Leftover cocoa or chocolate
need not be thrown away, as it
may take the place of the milk in
a spice cake or pudding.
Melted ice cream may also be
used in the same way for cakes,
cookies or IN custard pie.
Delicious pudding sauces may be
prepared from the juice from cam
ned fruit. Thicken with a little
-four, add bit of butter and serve
hot.
Cold, cooked meat may be re-
heated in the following sauce,
making a dish which many con-
slider better than the original:
Chop a small onion and fry in a
tablespoonful of -four and let it
brown. Mix a tablespoonful of
sauce, a tablespoonful of vinegar,
a tablespoonful of currant jelly,
and pepper and salt to taste. Cook
all together and when hot add the
sliced meat. Simmer for Is min
utes to season the meat, and serve
hot.
Another delicious sauce for re-
heating meats is this: Chop a doz-
en- olives very fine, brown a table
spoonful of -four, add tablespoon
full of butter and when we'll blend
ed stir in a cupful of soup stock :;
stir and cook until smooth. Season
with salt, pepper, and sauce, then
add the chopped olives and serve
hot.
A slice or two of pineapple mix
ed with little chopped apple to
give bulk, half dozen quartered
marshmallows, and a little boiled
dressing with whipped cream,
makes most tasty salad.
A cupful of sour cream may
serve as a salad dressing with a
bit of sugar, when poured over
shredded cabbage.
A most tasty pie may be made
from a cupful of sour cream. the
same of sugar and raisins. one egg,
half teaspoonful of cinnamon,
nutmeg and sale, and a teaspoonful
OF. vinegar. Bake in two crusts.
A cupful of cooked onion served
in white sauce may be served as
a sauce for fish.
A cupful of peas, string beans,
beets, or corn makes a welcome ad-
dition to potato salad.
Leftover tea may be poured
from the leaves and added to the
next brewing.
Leftover coffee makes an agree
able flavoring for junket.
