ANSWERED LETTERS.

Constant Observation-Disclosures give
me a recipe for Sweet Cucumber
Pickles. 1 have tried many times
to get full directions for putting
up these pickles, but have been
unsuccessful"
Answer.-So many women seem
to be puzzled on the subject OF
sweet pickles and sour pickles
They are made with exactly the
same vinegar, except the vinegar
for sweet pickles has one more in
gredient added to it--sugar. In
the following recipe for sweet
pickle vinegar, the cup of sugar
should be dropped If the house
wife wishes to make sour pickles
instead of sweet.
Picking Vinegar.-One quart OF
vinegar, teaspoons whole black
pepper, IL teaspoon grated horse
radish, / three-inch strip stick OF
cinnamon broken, | teaspoon cell
cry seed, IL teaspoon mustard
seed. IL teaspoon whole cloves. l
tablespoon brown sugar, l cup OF
granulated sugar. Put all these IN
gredients together in an agate
ware kettle, bring them to the boil
ing point, boil them a minute or
two and cool before pouring over
the pickles.
The pickles should be soaking in
brine while waiting for this vim
egar to be made. After you pro
cure the cucumbers, brush them
well (don't wash them) and soak
them for "a hours in brine. Make
this brine by adding enough ordl-
nary salt to l quart OF cold water
to float a fresh egg (about IL cup
of salt). They must stand in BRINE
for "a hours because the BRINE VIII
draw out the moisture and make
a more compact and firm pickle j..
The fashioned method OF
lining the preserving con!alner IN
picking, with grape leaves or CAP
bage leaves, and also covering me
mixture with them, helps to retain
the color CHERRY leaves are also
good and gives a delicious flavor
this method is so much better imam

souse, Mr.. Skuddlemagoon. He
has something much better than
that"
What is it he has?" asked the
bad chap.
Hockey pokeys," answered the
cousin mouse. Give him one, Uncle
Wiggily,"
Hickey pokeys can't be better
than souse," said the Skuddle crea-
ture. But when he began eating
one of Nurse James that the bunny
handed out, the unpleasant crea-
ture smacked his lips and said;
yum yum! At last I have found.
something better than souse! After
this all I am going to eat are
hockey pokeys! Hurray I'm going
to Mr.. Whitewash and buy ten
hockey pokeys,"
buy as many as you like, as
long as you leave my souse alone!"
laughed Uncle Wiggily, as the bad
chap hoped away, still smacking
his lips on the ice cream that stuck
to them Thus it was that the
hockey pokey saved the bunny's
ears, and if the red haired doll
doesn't turn a somersault in the
hammock and spill all her sawdust
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wig
gily and Nurse James candy.

wednesday. September %, 1920.


While Jupiter rules strongly for
good today, according to astrology,
Venus changes from benefic to ma
lefic aspect. Uranus is strongly ad
verse.
Business enterprises of all sorts
should prosper during this posting
of the stars. Commerce should ben
eft through some rather daring
venture initiated by western finan-
ciers.
For capitalists and all who pos
sess large resources extraordinary
opportunities for adding to wealth
will come again through foreign
countries.
Lawyers will have great pros
perity from this time on, for there
will be an unusual amount Of lit
igation.
There is an suspicious rule for
professors and teachers of every
class. A college president is to
receive high honors through a po-
litical party.
Love affairs are subject to the
most variable and uncertain influ-
ences that make for fickleness and
unfaithfulness. .....
1t is not a lucky wedding day,
since they who pledge their troth
when Uranus frowns may soon
find that they cannot agree.
Meetings between men and wom-
en- who are friends may be most
unfortunate during this rule, max
ing for MISUNDERSTANDING. There
is sign read as conducive to a

sudden change of opinion on the
part of men who have been enthu-
siastic in admiration or even hon
estly in love.
Venus gives warning to women
who are leaders in politics that
there may be severe disappoint-
ments in store for them, since en-
wings and jealousies will lead to
many small intrigues.
There will be an evolution in So
cial ideals within the next two
years, occulists predict, and they
foretell a new popularity for the
more serious side of friendly inter-
course.
Women will start national
movement that will mark a great
step forward in the progress of the
arts, the seers declare. This will in
some manner knit together the
forces that cherish beauty and de-
velop the higher talents.
Persons whose birth date 1t is
may have most eventful year, in
which their resourcefulness will be
tested.
Children born on this day may
be too carefree to be quickly sue
cessful in obtaining an education
or in progressing in business. They
will probably have great possibill-
ties if they are wisely trained,

States cannot grow under such leadership. II
requires the sunshine of equality of opportunity to
make state thrive.
Under the benign sun of the new day which
must come, New Mexico will come into her own
With the lifting of the pail of repression will follow
our period of expansion of which people have
long dreamed.
With public service and the common good as the

come those enlightened and progressive policies
which will bring new prosperity to our people.

Answer.-Your letter reminded
me Of the old saying, II you don't
know what to do with it, put it in
the mincemeat." There is no doubt
about it, fashioned cooks did
take liberties with imncemeat, put
ting into it leftover bits of cooked
tongue, beef suet, ana a dozen 9TH
er ingredients which are not neces-
sary. The following simple recipe
is a very good one I'd yet contains
no Ingredient which you will not
be able to find in any grocery
store:

WATCH YOUR STEP.

One hundred and forty nine persons were killed
in accidents throughout the United States on Au-
gust 22 average day, according to statistics just
published by the National Safety council, and pre-
pared for analysis at the Ninth Annual Safety
gress which is in session at Milwaukee this week.
The council points out that $4,000 persons are
killed by accidents in the United States each year.
IF the proper vigilance had been exercised both
by the persons killed and by the others involved in
accidents least 600 of these persons could have
been saved" the report says.
Conservation of food, of timber Of water and of
what-not has been earnestly preached of late. Why
not devote more attention to the preservation of
that most precious of all commodies-human life :?

Dear Sir: A few days ago you

ten, was clear and ineligible, but
1 am forced to believe that l have
been black-listed by the linotype

lowing:

that if elected he
BY this omission the letter was
unintelligible. If you take the
trouble to look at the letter as pub
lished, you will see that the villain
artfully and ingeniously jumped
from one "if elected he" to another
eff elected, he" so that when de-
tected he would have a plausible
excuse for having made a mere
mistake. I would say nothing if
this were only the first or second or
third time that members of the

no use to tax him with his villainy

Would you have him specify by

low stump bungalow, wondering
where to go to have an adventure,
he heard some one fumbling at the
latch Of the front door.
THAT cannot be Nurse Jane

is out, | know, but if she came she
would let herself in with her key.

or Skee coming after my souse?"
Uncle Wiggilsy was just going to
sneak up easy to the attic, so he
could look down out of the top
story window and see who was at
the front door, when a little voice
said:

The American Red Cross will con-

least ten million members from

from the anniversary of Armistice
day to Thanksgiving day. During this
period the men and women will be
expected to renew their member

The American Red Cross has

people. A new and unique health
institution has come into being as
the result Of several months study
by the Red Cross health service de-

Officials in charge of the depart

new health activity will be in actual

Already more than a hundred of
