 Hot biscuits and butter, hot biscuits and honey, or hot biscuits and mar malade-nO ones face except a con- tirIned dyspeptic's could but brighten at the sight of plate of them on the table If they are what proper bis cults should be-tender fiaky and well baked.
 Biscuits are not difficult to make when few important points are kept In mind. These are to use a good recipe, to mix as quickly as possible after the baking powder is moistened, to have the dough just stiff enough to handle, and to bake in a rather hot oven.
 The following recipes for making bis quits are recommended by food special ists in the United States Department of Agriculture.

 To save time in preparation or when no cutter Is at hand, the dough may be made somewhat softer than above and dropped on the tin by spoOnfuls about One-half inch apart. The mixture, although soft, should be stiff enough not to spread on the tin, yet soft enough so that the biscuits when baked have smooth, rounded surface rather than a rough, lumpy one.

 The carcass of the beef, not includ- ing the head, feet, or the intestines, weighed 1874 pounds. After the bones had been utilized for soup stock, they weighed 35 pounds, which left 135 pounds of meat for canning. From this amount 52 No. 2 cans of roast beef, s of steak, 2S of boiled meat with soup stock thick enough to jelly, II of beef hash, and 10 of very con- centrated meat stock were canned.

WAS THE NEIGHBOR'S CHICKEN
Incident That Was Embarrassing, AL though 1t Also Had an Anus
 ing Side to 1t.

Some years ago, while living in the suburbs, we kept a few chickens; our neighbors also had chickens. After the garden season was over we let them run, as did our neighbors. In this way I suppose they got more or less mixed.
 One day I decided to have a chicken for dinner, and, not liking to kill it myself-my husband being away-I asked our neighbor if he would kill it for me. He kindly consented, so brought out the particular fowl I had selected. He killed 1t, and I thanked him and proceeded to prepare it for dinner.
 When dinner was over I went out to feed the chickens. What was my surprise to find among them the fowl l thought I had just eaten. It was my neighbours chicken I had asked him to kill for me.
 Of course, I lost no time in making apologies-and also insisted that they take ours instead, and they had a good laugh at my expense.

SOYearSOld Was Sick Now Feels Young After Taking EatOnic for
 Sour Stomach

'I had sour stomach ever since I had the grip and it bothered me badly Have taken Eatonic only a week and am much better. Am 80 years old," says Mrs. John Hill.
 Eatonic quickly relieves sour stom- ach, indigestion, heartburn, bloating and distress after eating because it takes up and carries out the excess acidity and gases which cause most stomach ailments. If you have tried everything and still suffer, do not give up hope. Eatonic has brought relief to tens of thousands like you. A big box costs but a trihe with your druggists guarantee.

NO POLICY CHANGE
Hughes Won't Upset Wilson'S
Decision on w. Z. Cable.
New Administration Won't
Abandon Program Adopted.

Washington, March 1.-THE attitude
of the Wilson administration in refus-
ing to allow the landing of the Bar
BADGES cable at Miami, Fla, will be
maintained by the state department
under Secretary Hughes, according to
an authoritative statement here today
The reason the state department has
refused to allow the landing of the
Western Union cable at Miami is be-
cause of its connection at Barbados
with the British Western Telegraph
company cable running to Brazil. The
British have a cable monopoly along
the cost of Brazil which the United
States has continually opposed.
Definite action toward the laying of
the cable at Miami was held up today
pending a decision of the matter by
President Harding.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY had
reports on the action of American sub
marine chaser in preventing the at
tempt to land the cable ST. turday but
was taking no action

UPSET HIS PLANS
German Refusal of Allied Terms
Delays Peace.
President Harding Cannot Al
front the Entente.

Washington, March President
Harding's plans for an immediate dec
laration of peace with Germany have
been upset by that nations stubborn
refusal to accept the allied PREPARATIONS
terms, it was learned today.
Harding is said to feel that adoption
of the Knox peace resolution at a time
when British and French troops are
modified to enforce the allied terms
by marching into the Ruhr basin and
occupying important German indus
trial centers would be construed abroad
as a direct affront to our late asso-
ciates in the war.
The first cabinet meeting of the ad-
ministration was called today for II
O'Clock tomorrow. Vice President
Coolidge was asked to attend.
Was Campaign Pledge.
One of Harding's campaign pledges
was to make formal peace with Ger
many Immediately upon entering the
White House. But now he favorS
withholding action temporarily on the
Knox resolution which he had previ-
ously approved in Marion and has sug-
gested to senate leaders that they go
other agreements which still await
ratification.
Harding has decided this is the best
way to avoid appearing to approve
Germany's present course. Harding
plans a further conference over the
situation and legislative matters with
Senator Lodge, Republican leader, at
the White House today.
With replies to the note sent Pana-
ma and Costa Rica late Saturday, de-
manding immediate cessation of hos
tilities between the two countries ex-
pected at any time, Harding had an
other international situation to deal
with. The president planned to send
a number of appointments to the SEN
ate at noon today. These will consist
largely of assistant secretaryships in
the executive department.

ROuses Secretary's Ire.
Tells Newspaper Men to Accept

Washington, March 7.-Publication
of the fact of the dispatch of identi-
cal notes to Panama and Costa RIGA
last Saturday demanding cessation OF
hostilities caused some disturbance to-
day in administration circles and drew
from Secretary Hughes an announce
ment of his policy with respect to
making >public information regarding
diplamatic communications.
The publication was understood to
have been a subject of discussion be-
tween Mr.. Hughes and President
Harding early today at the White
House and also was discussed at con-
ferences Mr.. Hughes had with high
officers of his department. 1t was
after these conferences that Mr.
Hughes outlined his policies to the
newspaper correspondents.
The secretary said he did not want
statements made in the press regard
ing activities Of the department
which were not given out officially
and added that nothing must be pub
lished unless given out by him or the
high officials.
Regarding specifically to notes for
foreign governments the secretary said
ne did not want the newspapers to
publish as facts reports of diplomatic
exchanges which have not been Of
ficially announced. These should not

JURY HEARS DAMAGE SUIT
Miss Helen Bigham asks SILL
From Galitski Firm.

Spectators in Judge James Nc
Clure's division of the district court
this morning regretted that they did
not bring their lunches SO they would
not have to leave during the noon hour
and run the possible risk of missing
something.
A Jury was listeningsto the evidence
in the suit brought by Miss Helen
Bigham, S13 Monroe street, to collect
S211SS damages from Gersh Galitski
and Simon Galitski, proprietors OF a
store at S13 North Kansas avenue, for
injuries she claims to have received
when she fell thru the floor in the
store, where she was employed as
clerk She claimed that the floor was
rotten and that when she started to-
ward the front to wait on a customer,
it gave way beneath her, causing se-
we're injuries to one of her limbs. ~
Her attorneys declared she suffered
great pain and that livid scars from
the wound still remain.
John .Schenck. attorney for the
Galitskis, told the jury in his opening
statement that the accident did not
happen While Miss Bigham was start
ing to wait on a customer. He de-
cIared the evidence will show that
Miss Bighani who is large and heavy
and pretty as well--was sitting on
dry gocas box talking to another clerk
about her weight, Evidence will
show, Scfsenck said, that Miss B.gham
she was twice as heavy as
the other woman-that she was SO
heavy, il, fact, that she could break
thru the oak floor. And to prove it,
Schenck said he would show she
jumped up and down, striking her
heel against the floor, and that the
board broke thru.

IN such an awful condition 1 could
hardly carry my sample case. L had
rheumatism in my legs 30 bad could

scarcely slept any, and mornings my
back and legs ached SO bad l could
hardly get out of bed. Often when
l tried TO get on street car my back
hurt so bad the conductor just had to
" give me a little lift before l could
make it. Well, was in the most mis-
cradle shape L had ever been in, and
my earning power began to go down,
for 1 didn't feel like hustling to get
business
In my travels over the state 1
noticed SO many people in drug stores
buying Tanlac and praising it that I
decided to give it a trial myself, and
what it has done for me is nothing
short of wonderful. The fact is, my
kidneys never bother me any more,
and that awful bachache and rheuma-
tism are entirely gone. L can swing a
street car now while it is still moving,
and my sales have picked up wonder
fully, too, for l sleep well every night
and get up mornings feeling fine and
ready to go after business just like
could before my troubles began.
Words just can't express my gratitude
to Tanlac"

Not Dangerous Power.
Justice Clarke read the decision of
the court, declaring that for forty
years the postoffice department has
had the right to revoke second class
mailing privileges.
The right of the postmaster gen.
eral to revoke mailing permits is not
dangerous or arbitrary power. since
1T is subject to review of the courts. i"
said Clarke.

nounced the constitution, under which
he now claims protection. He claims
that the action of the espionage law
under which the postmaster general
acted was unconstitutional. This
court has repeatedly upheld the act"
Articles Are Denounced.
Clarke vigorously denounced the
articles published by the Leader, men
tlonlng the attack on the war laws and
the claims that thousands of soldiers
in France were going insane.
s7SOur constitution as enacted is to

screen those who are seeking to cause

give aid and comfort to the enemies
of our country.
