country is fine. 1 love Aunt Julia for 1

Kitsie: 1 have it on good
authority that it will injure fur
to dye it along with a suit or
dress on which it is trimmed.
You would be taking a great
risk to dye the suit with the fur
on it. A recipe for cream puffs
which 1 consider very good is as
follows: One cup boiling water,
IL teaspoon salt, 1-3 cup butte.
1 1-2 cups flour, 4 eggs; whipped
cream or custard. Method:
Bring the water, salt and but
ter together to boiling point;
stir in the flour and cook till the
mixture leaves the sides of the
saucepan clean. When cooled,
add the eggs one at time,
beating each one in thoroughly;
drop big tablespoonfuls some
distance apart on creased bak-
ing pans, and bake half an hour
in steady oven. When cold.
split and fill with sweetened
cream or thick custard.

PROTEsTANTs N MEXICO HAVE
No FEAR OF INTERVENTION

Directors OF Protestant work in
Latin America say concerning Mexico
and the passing OF president CarranZa
they no longer fear Intervention on
the part Of the United States. So
long as Carranza lasted they felt
called upon TO protest here at home,
and TO point out TO the American au-
thorities that Intervention ought TO be
avoided unless the situation becomes
too desperate
The same directors now say that
most Of the leaders under Gen Obre-
gon are the same as under Carran1a,
but with the difference that they are
more in sympathy with the United
States and less likely to provoke
trouble They say some religious
elements enter IN at this time, but
nothing TO complain about
There are being laid in the City Of
Mexico the foundations for a MeIi-

logical seminary has been started, and
a mission press that Is among the
largest in all Latin America Eight
Protestant bodies have divided up the
territory, each taking a district, so
that now there is no duplication OF
Protestant effort The strong bodies
there are the Presbyterian. the Metho-
dist, the Baptist and the Disciples.
The American Bible society has a
strong agency here. Recent political
troubles have intertered little with
Protestant progress which directors
OF It in America claim TO be steady
and general throughout the republic.

nEPORTS from spring conventions
n already show greater progress
toward Protestant church unity
than has been made IN the entire
past. Hethodists have voted to &C
cept the plan OF union. and further
action waits only upon commissions
from north and south to work out
details. The south meets two years
hence. but It is considered unlikely
that the plans now agreed to by the
north viii be upset Changes are ex-
pected. but a united American
Methodism Is regarded by their lead
ers as an early achievement
Presbyterians have agreed upon
plans for union. and their plans take
in also the Reformed churches, both
those Of Dutch and German descent
Before the Presbyterians OF the north
acted, the Reformed churches had
done so. and so had the United Pres
byterian. so that here again leaders
regard union as almost as good as
achieved
In these respective bodies the pur-
pose is to continue and put together
the business administrations, includ-
ing the mission work, and thus cut
off salaries and end duplication OF
effort These unions pave the way
for larger ones, and they also make,
in the one case, a Methodist body
with an actual membership approach
ing 10000 900 and a Presbyterian one
nearing the 5000. 900 mark.
