TN THESE days Of political creeds

TN THESE days of political creeds,
misinformation, no information.
and a lack of anxiety to obtain infor-
nation of any sort on political mat
ters. we are reminded Of the 'Durant
citizen who some years ago to settle
a bet went out on the streets, accost-
ing the first twenty citizens he met.
and asking them who was Secretary
of the United States Treasury. He
found two who knew. Now we are re-
minded by one of our readers that very
few people know why they are Demo-
Gratis or Republicans. We believe this
is very true" even IL it is a rather old
saying. 1t Is a fact that nine people
out OF ten do not know what their
party stands for. other than that it Is
for or against free trade: neither
can they give you any logical reason
why they do not belong to the other
side. It's IA condition which IL argued
brings up the old educational qualtfi-
cation" proposition. which never got
anywhere and is not likely to. Guess
most of us will continue voting like
Dad did.

Vegetable Combination

A large variety of "roasts" may be
made by combining legumes, either
beans, coWepas, lentilS, or peas with
cheese of various kinds. Bread crumb BIS
may be added for thickening. Beans
are usually mashed, but peas or
small Lima beans may be combined
whole with bread crumbs and grated
cheese, and enough of the liquor in
which the vegetables have been cook
ed may be added to get the right
consistency. Form into a roll and
bake in the same way as a meat
roll. Instead of beans or peas, chop
pen spinach, beet tops, Or head let
tuce may be used. Homemade cot
tage cheese, and the soft cream cheese
of commerce, standard Or English
dairy chees is also much liked for
making such dishes to use in place
of meat. The following recipe is
recommended by food specialists of
the United States department of
agriculture:
Boston Roast
One pound can of kidney beans or
equivalent quantity Of cooked beans.
One-half pound of grated cheese.
Bread crumbs. Salt.
Mash the cooked beans or put
them through a meat grinder. Add
the cheese and sufficient bread
crumbs to make the mixture stiff
enough to be formed into roll. Bake
in a moderate oven, basting oc-
casionally with butter and water.
Serve with tomato sauce. This dish
may be favored with onions, chop
ped and cooked in butter and water.

How to Kill the FIeas
On Cats. DOES and Hous

One of the most successful ways to
+ XIII heas on cats and dogs, say ento-
molog1sts of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, is to wash
the animals thoroughly in a tub con-
tanning the proper portion of sapon-
flied coal-tar creosote preparation,
of which there are a number on the
market, known as "stock dips" etc.
Directions for dilution of these dips
will be found on the container. The
animal should be scrubbed thorough
ly, and the head well soaked, as
, many fleas rush there to get away
from the parts that are covered with
the solution. After the animal has
been in the bath for about five Or ten
minutes it may be. removed and al
lowed to dry. In the case of cats, es-
pecially if tender skinned, the prepar-
alton should be washed out of the
fur with soap and warm water soon
after the animal is taken out Of the
solution.
In addition to the destruction of
| cleanses and deodoriZes the fur and
also aids in the healing of any
wounds.
The thorough washing of infested
animals in kerosene emulsion is a
cheap and satisfactory method of
destroying f1eas. Five gallons of this
emulsion may be made by dissolving
two ounces of washing soap in one
quart of hot water and when brought
to a boil removing 1t from the fire
and adding 2 IL pints of kerosene.
The mixture should be agitated vio-
lently with an egg-beater DOR some
thing of the sort. This should result
in a milky solution from which the
oil does not separate. Water is then
added to make five gallons. Free
kerosene will burn" animals, and if
any separates out the mixture should
be reheated, care being taken to
avoid splitting it on the fire or boiling
it over. 1t then should be beaten
