IGNORANCE AND COWARDICE

One Of the indications of the
small-bore, demagogue politician,
is the fact that in making a cam
paign he gets out and talks about
little newspapers, Statesmen
and men of ability appreciate the
good work that newspapers do and
do not undertake to play on the
prejudices of the people in any
way or try to magnify their own
imaginary virtues by seeking to
belittle others. Along this line the
editor of the Ruleville Record has

Why are unethical physicians called

copywrisht. 1920 by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.


Why are unethlcal physicians called
"quacks!.
I'm spite of it's sound there is no
connection between the epithet
"quack," applied TO a certain class Of
physicians just as "shyster' is applied
70 some lawyers. and the noise made
BY duck. DIR. Macauley, in his Die
uonary Of Medicine" states tlat the
appelation arose from quacksaIber, the
German name for quick silver or mer-
curry, because at first only irregular
practitioners employed this supposedly
dangerous medicine.
The term was then slightly broad
ened in meaning and applied to those
who sold nostrum, the formula for
which was kept secret. and finally to
all doctors who by pretense, insinua-
ton or promise endeavored to obtain
confidence 10 which neither their
success nor their experience entitled
them. The general application OF the
term to boastful preteI. .ders as a class
antedates the discovery OF the medi-
cinal value of mercury, however, as is
apparent from the statement OF Sir
Richard PEstrange who charged that
schools and pulpits are fun Of quacks,
/ jugglers and plagarists,v while Butler
/ IN his "Hudibras," writes.

CASSEROLE ECONOMIES.

The housekeeper who has once used a
casserole is never able to get along with
out one in the future. For, she finds It
so handy in the cooking OF left-overs and
such an economy in making the cheaper
cuts of meat taste tender and delicious.
A piece of rump beef cooked slowly IN a
casserole rivals the rib roast and slrloin
cut; the casserole keeps the juices in and,
because it is a covered utensil, steams the
meat while it bakes it.
But il is the question of left-overs, that
wish to take up today. believe there
are many women who throw away odds
and ends of cooked food because they
have not vet discovered" the casserole
and consequently do not know how deli
cious such left-overs can be made TO
taste when cooked in some such way as
the following:
When YOU have Egg Plant left over:
Butter your casserole and place in the
bottom of it a layer of uncooked onion
slices; add a layer of either cooked or
luncooked tomato; then add a layer of the
egg plant. Repeat these three LAYERS until
the dish is full Finish with butte ed
crumbs and sprinkle with finely chopped
or grated cheese. The vegetables should
be seasoned TO suit taste before being
placed in the dish. Add only a very little
water, as the egg plant is an extremely
watery vegetable. Bake slowly with the
cover on until the onion slices are tender,
then remove cover and bake in hotter
oven till the crumbs are brown. This is
very good dish
When you have Carrots left over: Cut
4 I hars, n Ian, D.. s.F,
: and mix the two vegetables. Season
! slightly then turn them into your easse
role with the following white sauce: Mel
: 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan
; over the fire rub in tablespoons of flou
till smooth, add a cup Of milk and season
with IA teaspoon salt and Is teaspoon
: ! pepper. Let boil up a moment, then ad,
to casserole. Put the cover on the dish
let bake in hot oven 40 minutes, the
sprinkle buttered crumbs over the to
u and slip back into oven till brown.
When you have Caulifower left ovel
! Simply bake it for 20 muintes in tn
+ white sauce just given above, sprinkl
q with buttered crumbs, brown and serve
y When YOU have either Shelled Bear

An English judge has just handed
ise suit In which he affirms that a
matrimonial engagement is not a
binding contract, and upholds a mans
or woman's right 10 change his or her
mind anywhere between the betfothal
and the altar.
Good. The breach of promise case
has always been a disgrace ana
scandal. For when It was not a potent
weapon for blackmail, II was the ulti-
mate expression of sordidness, and Of
a lack Of every sense Of deiicacy. and
il should have been long ago thrown
out Of the law courts. as well as Gu
pid's court.
1t is 10 the shame of the feminine
sex that 1t Is nearly always a woman
who is the plaintiff In this obnoxious
form of litigation. Man apparently
have a finer sense OF decency in the
matter. for It is only semi -occa sionally
that you hear Of man who tries to
make the law force n woman to keep
her promise TO marry him, or else
pay him for her release.
What makes these breach Of prom
se suits worse ls that in all Of the
innumerable cases In which the alleged
victims have sought damages for in
| jury done TO their affections there Il
probably not one who has suffered a
real heart pang. .Those who have
trusted and been betrayed; those who
have really loved and lost; those
whose hearts are really broken dc
not drag their agony out hi public foi
the world TO ieer at; they do not make q
spectacle Of their suffering. Still less
do they estimate their bereavement il
dollars and cents, and whenever yot
find that all that a hurt heart needs
20 heal 1t is a poultice OF greenbaclti
you may be very sure that its wound!
are only skin deep.
Those who have known a great low,
that failed them. those whose, yerl
souls have been torn in twain by tn
perfidy Of one they trusted hide ava,
like a stricken animal. They do no
seek the market places in which I
pine away and die Of broken heart,
or seek to capitalize their tears.
OF course II is easy TO understan
that Il hurts ones vanity 70 be jilte,
It is never a pleasant experience {
realize that we have lost our char
for anyone. and that another is pre-
ferred before us. One can also al
preciate that It may be keen disar
, ponItment to a woman who thinks ths
, in marrying she is getting someone
, support her instead Of having 10 ear
her own bread and butter, to see h
3 meal ticket slip through her finger
. as It were. Likewise it may be en-
barrassing to have TO explain 10 one
