Paul Kohler OF Millbank, S. d.,
shook hands with old friends and ac-
quaintances in Potosi last week. He
formerly resided here and was in the
employ of w. H. Hunt then in the
mercantile business in Potosi. This
was Mr. Kohler's first visit to Potosi
in thirty years. While here he was
the guest of A. b. Hurst and family.

end Of heavy meall
Have you ever heard of a mince
pie slip-over? Perhaps not, if you
never visited the downtown chop
houses famous for this original des-
sert. 1t is merely a new way of
serving cheese with mince pie. In
stead of the proverbial piece of
cheese on your pie plate, a creamy
mass of thin Welsh rabbit is
slipped over" slice of pie. For
the cheese lover this offers a novel,
piquant treat. Try it for one of
the simple meals following Thanks
giving, when the menu needs to be
pieced out a bit.
Mincemeats in Paper and Glass
The modern housewife has the
choice of either making her mince-
meat at home or buying it already
prepared. To be sure, the CONNER
cial is not so rich as that generally
made at home, and this cannot be
expected at the price paid. A nine
ounce paper package costs 10 cents
and makes an eight-inch pie, which
is sufficient to serve six persons.
The package mincemeat is dry, of
course, and it is necessary to add
three cupsful of water and cook until
it is thick. This takes about twenty
minutes of slow cooking. 1t should
then be cooled before being made up
into pies.
To our mind, this is not so rich
filling as is generally liked, but is
much better if cider is used in place
of water, and suet, raisins and cit
ron added. Currant jelly and nuts
also are delicious in mincemeat. In
other words, this is a very good,
simple mincemeat and an excellent
basis for a richer product for the
DuSy woman or the ktchenetter who
has neither space nor time for the
complicated operation of mixing her
own mincemeat.
If you prefer the wet mincemeat
of little richer and more expensive
quality made from fresh fruit, you
can purchase this, too, already pre-
pared and put up in two-pound jars
at cost of about 81 cents.
But if you have a desire for some
homemade mincemeat, just like
mother used to make, here is an ex-
cellent recipe. 1t will be all the bet
ter, Of course, if you make enough to

seems to have lost nothing and
gained much in convenience by being
canned.

much you must "stoop to conquer"
it, and if it is safe for children Of
meddlesome nature?
The proof Of the machine is in tho
washing, as far as the woman Is con-
cerned. The technical details are the
manufacturers concern. The re-
suits and the ease Of operation are
hers.
So we are going to answer these
questions, after a word or two about
the general character and appear
ance of the Airplane.
The Rocking Tub
The illustrations show that this
machine is Of the rocking tub" type.
The oblong copper tub, lined with
corrugated tin, sits on a cradle piv-
oted on two sides at the center. Tho
size Of the tub opening is 10 by 16.o
inches, and a special frame for tho
cover prevents any splashing Of che
water despite It's violent motion.
The tub complete weighs 1914
pounds, and is entirely empty, de-
pending altogether on the motion Of
the water for it's cleansing action.
The whole machine takes a floor
space 81 by 18 inches and has q
height Of sd inches. The height to
the top of the frame is 33 inches.
1t should be "a to SO inches to be
ideal and prevent any STOPPING. The
tub, it's motor, gears, ETC., firmly
supported by a heavy angle iron
frame with cross braces, are entirely
jncloscd in a white enameled sheet
iron casing with gold rims and q
fat cover, so that on removing the
wringer the machine 10 converted
into a spacious work table. This
case makes the machine perfectly
safe for children.
The tub oscillates fifty-six times
a minute, and the violent reversal
Of the mass of water produces an
effective cleansing. When filled to
: the water line the tub holds twelve
gallons Of water, and an average
{ charge Of six sheets, or nine pounds
Of clothes, is easily handled.
Stands Firmly, but Moves Easily
Four double swivel casters make
tho machine easy TO move and ia
steer, despite it's size. 1t Is very
annoying to have heavy washer In

If It's dociljty in this way the Air

desired, and also three tablespoonsful
of maple syrup. Stir the mixture we'll
and bake in slow oven until It sets.
Here is another recipe for pump
kin pie which is good and easier for
the amateur cook to bake:
Pie No. 2 and q Vegetable
Scald one cupful of milk, mix one
tablespoonful of flour with a little
cold milk or water and stir into the
hot milk gradually. Stiruntil the mix

boiler for ten minutes. Beat two egg
yolks and combine with one-third of
a cupful of sugar and one-fourth Of a
teaspoonful of salt. Stir in the corn

pumpkin with nutmeg, cinnamon
and ginger to taste. Cook until
thick and Of the consistency to hold
its shape. Turn into a cooked pas

bake for about ten minutes in a
moderate oven, or until brown.
Canned pumpkin is supposed to be
primarily for pies, but we had about
one and one-half cupsful left over
from our pie experiment and evolved
the idea of using the remainder as a
vegetable. We whipped in one egg,

case is easily reached, as the lower
half of each end of the case is
hinged and acts as door. The cost
Of operation here is one cent for half
an hour. We therefore estimate that
the one charge washed (six sheets or
nine pounds dry), running the tub
for total of twenty minutes; the
wringer, which took five minutes to
handle the charge, would run fifteen
minutes to cover bluing and rinsing
and the CASTOR twenty minutes would
mean a total cost for operation of
1.8, less than two cents for washing
and wringing one charge of clothes.
A Few Last Words
The machine runs very quietly,
makes an ornamental table when
Monday Is over, and is made safe
for the crawling child or meddle-
some youngster by the complete in
closure of the moving parts. 1t is
simple as possible to clean-the OBJ
long, empty copper tub calling mere
ly for a careful wiping out after
operating it a few moments with
clear hot water, possibly adding a
little soda if the water is hard and
leaves a sediment. 1t needs no sun
ming or airing.
The motor is standard one
quarter horsepower ample for the
needs of the machine and the gears
are we'll made. the only criticism of
the design being that, probably due
to the reversal of the water direc-
ton, there are variations in the cur
rent consumed, showing a surge in
the power used which is not consid-

tom. When tive pals were used,

Cost of Washing
The cost Of operation with 10-cent
electricity is 1.35 cents an hour for
the motor, 2.20 for motor and tub
and 3.4 when the wringer is in 81

ATHENS, Nov. 17.-Like a college town after a football game. Athens turned out to celebrate this afternoon. the first natural expression shown here in many weeks if not months The crowds, having managed to get some sleep after strenuous days and refreshed by the sunny, calm weather, let themselves go. They organized a parade in University street, marched past the home of the fallen Venizelos, swept on to the kings palace, thence to the stadium and back again, over flowing into the side streets.
 The crowds were good natured and made up of soldiers. young men and women. They were afoot, in carriages and automobiles, all carrying litho- graphs, paintings or photographs of former King Constantine and also of the former German emperor. Between snatches of songs of Constantine there were shouts of where is the man who voted for Velizelos? We think there was one we want to see him."
 The falling darkness brought carous- ing and disorders, which were con- tributed to by soldiers coming in from Smyrna, where there have beer troubles with the soldiery, who have been insisting on being permitted tC come home.
 Local foreigners express the opinior that greater Greece is dead by her owI hand and reduced overnight from second rate power to a comic opera condition. The Venizelists are packinl up and scurrying to leave the capita and retire to the provinces, although
