SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE

THE H0UaEW1EE
 To make a tough steak tender, rub it on both sides with vinegar and olive oil, thoroughly mixed, and allow to stand for two hours before cooking 1t.
 If table silver is placed in hot soap suds immediately after being used, and dried with soft, clean cloth, much 0. the work of polishing will be saved.
 To revive root vegetables that have withered, slice off the end of each and lay in cold water. In few hours they will be as hardy and healthy as ever. A tasty salad is made of chopped eel cry, seasoned with chopped mint and nayonnaise. Put between slices of bread it makes a dainty supper sandwich. Always lower the temeeIlture Of the oven somewhat Is or 20 minutes after 6 roast has been placed in it. This will insure that the juices will be retained. Water may be added to the beaten white or beaten whole egg used for dip ping croquettes. The proportion is a tablespoon for the white and twice as | much for the whole egg.
 Brown bread, cut into thin slices and | spread with strawberry jam or peach narnalade, and covered with layer of cream cheese, makes novel and delicious luncheon sandwiches.
 l Though steam heat is cleaner gener- ally than a furnace, it will soil the eur tains and walls much more, especially ii l the radiators are placed close to the wal or under the windows.
 Crowned flour makes delicious brewr gravies. Put it in pie plate and set on 1 top of the stove or in a very hot oven 1 When it begins to brown it should be 1 constantly stirred until brown al l through.

THE BONUS BILL.

It was only a few days ago that sen tiuent from Washington was to the ef- feet that there was no chance for the soldiers bonus bill It is regarded as unwarranted and is receiving opposition from among the soldiers as well as from others. Recognition is given to the fact that it establishes bad precedent, that it can never recompense the soldiers for what they did and that there is no need for it bonus that is being sought
 In spite, however, of all the claims that there was no chance for the meas ure it has been passed by the house and by such a majority that it will be sum cient to pass it over a presidential veto. What the result will be in the senate is to be revealed. There the opposition to the bonus has been strong, although it may be that the same situation will develop there that revealed itself in the house.
 That a veto is to be expected is shown by the endorsement which President Wilson gives to the platform adopted by the Virginia democrats in which there is expressed approval of generosity to the disabled soldiers but Sisapproval of "stimulated efforts to fasten further op- pressive burdens upon the taxpayers ot the country by enormous bond issues or consumption and retroactive tax levies to give an indiscriminate bonus to en- listed men,
 While the house showed many more than the needed two-thirts in order to pass the bill over the veto in case it should come, there Is no certainty as te what the senate will do, and even with two-thirds majority on adoption il does not necessarily mean that it will be possible to muster as much strength | when it comes to overriding veto. Ii is, however, one piece of legislation that is interesting the country.

There was not one division nor roll call on any disputed question. Te Fenomination of Mckinley was unanimously conceded in advance, and unanimously made when the hour arrived.
 Second place on the ticket was more a matter of advance speculation, with much discussion of Secretary of the Navy John D.

BOOK LORE.

Many a good book has been ruined by the way it is kept in the case. Packing books so tight that they have to be pulled out by the loose binding at the top of the back is Eiinous. The binding soon breaks. It also tends to loosen the backs of hooks to pack them tight, as they will cling to eac hether on the shelf and the binding work away from the pages. Don't pack your books so tight that they cannot be pulled off the shelf without effort.
 A new book should be handled very

carefully. Never open the book sudden ly. This is sure way to break the back. Begin by laying the book on the table, opening first one cover, then the other, and then open very few pages at a time, laying them alternately fat on each other until the center of the book has been reached. In this way the glue on the back of the book is cracked gently and evenly and the pages vii not separate.

 T consider the matter of Mrs. Bur nett's request rather delicate for public discussion and exceedingly regret the publicity already given it, During all of our political debates I'M.

 It was eminently proper that the thou- sands Of friends of MT. Burnett and, in fact. all the people of the Seventh dis trsct to participate in the service through their representative.

ID STAND PAT ON
 DEALERS LICENSE
City Commissioners Con- tend New Tax Is Only
 Fai, rand Just

The City Commission takes the atti- tude that the new auto license levy is the fairest possible means of taxing auto dealers in Birmingham. The commission has discussed the matter at length and obtained figures in support of it's con tention, it is stated.
 The city fathers are Of the opinion that with the exception of several dealers the license tax on local auto dealers will be less this year than it has been in any year past
 It is obviously unfair to make an auto dealer doing only s100,oO0 worth of busi- ness a year pay as much license as one doing s2,o0o,ooo a year, declare the com missioners. By the graduated scale method of passing the license on the husi- ness done. each dealer gets a square deal, it is contended. This license will make it easier for the small dealers to succeed and at the same time be fair to the large concerns, in the opinion of the commits sioners.
 The commission has been advised by City Comptroller Jimmy Jones that a big majority of the licenses for auto dealers this year will be less than in 1919 The biggest kick, according to the commission, is coming from those dealers who have been operating at a far too low tax.
