There is usually more danger O

There is usually more danger of a wooden sweater stretching than shrinking after washing. If one has the~w whirling type of electric wrinser on an electric washer the problem solves itself. The sweater can be wrung nearly dry and then spread on several thicknesses of cloth on broad table to finish.
 However if ono has not this kind of washer and must dry a sweater, try hunging it hammock fashion in a piece of cheess,-cloth from the clothcsline The wind blows through on much the same theory that is em- ployed by the centrifugal wringer. Then put the sweater smoothly on a table and pull into shape and dry.

 My Own Recipes.
 Very often the gravy from a roast is the most delicious part of the meat. This is especially true when the cut of the meat is coarse-fibered and re- quires long cooking. Dredge the roast and the bottom of the roaster well with flour and the gravy will be darker in color.

MANAGERS APPEAL TO
MASSES FOR FUNDS
OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
HELPED FOUR YEARS AGO
No Idea Of Matching Millions With
Republicans, But Much in Need Of
Legitimate Funds to Garry Demo-
cratic Message to People Of the
Nation.

The Democratic National Commit
tee wants help, wants it in an open,
above-board, public way. The Cox
Roosevelt managers are in great
need Of funds mot millions as are
available to their opponents-but
modest thousands with which to off
set the effect of the immense funds
being used to confuse and misrepre-
sent the true issues 81 the present
national campaign.
/ They propose to get needed funds
directly from the body Of Cox-Roose-
Welt supporters. This is in harmony
with the financial policies OF pre-
yious Democratic campaigns. In 1917
nearly 100000 persons subscribed 20
the fund used in carrying the Wilson
message to the people. In 1916 even
larger aggregate number Of indl-
viduals rendered financial help.
Though the time for making appeal Is
short, the Cox-Roosevelt managers
4 believe even larger number want
10 contribute this year.
They have no hope or desire 81
matching millions with the Republl.
cans; in fact, they don't believe that
such Is necessary even if it were
4 tolerable. But some funds are needed
with which to do legitimate work
the maintaining Of headquarters, tbs
writing Of letters, the sending tortf
~ information which the voters
should have, etc.
Ample funds would readily come tC
the Democratic managers We're they
to ignore all questions OF source anc
purpose represented by large dona'
| lions from selfish interests.
Instead, they are leaving the mat
ter to the people to those who give
modestly, perhaps, but yet out Of NJ
motive but unselfish desire to pro
mote the principles represented BY
James M. Cox and Franklin d. Roose
welt.
i They believe the masses of Cox
Roosevelt supporters will thus come
to the aid Of the campaign, and hav'
requested this newspaper to receive
and transmit contributions from 1T
readers.
Contributions are needed badl!
and are needed now.
Send yours at once to this office AM
