ENGLISH VS.. SLANG
Local Campaign F ails

Anti-This and Anti-That, the
fads and fancies Of this day! Will
they never cease? 1t has reached
such state that one cannot rank
at all in Social circles unless de-
voted to the campaign of the Anti
Something.
The inconsistencies Of the devO-
tees to the various causes are both
serious and ludicrous. The best
illustration that has come to our
notice is this
A Professor of English came
into our office to place an order
that would require the thought,
time and energy of our Craftsmen.
In appearance, he resembled the
typical London Clubman. His dress
was immaculate, of the latest
HolbOrn (via Chestnut Street, cut.
Serious micn, perfect enunciation.
Pronunciation was direct from
Oxford with a touch of Harvard.
While tracing, by his every act, an
ancestry of training back to Beo-
wulf, Chaucer and King James
Version, he recognized with his
superiority, a respect for the
CraftSmen-and assumed, for the
while, don't you know, a demo-
cratic air. But to the story.
So with a bit of the Strand in
his attitude, he called for the Fore
man. Now Kells is not the ordin-
airy Printing Plant but "Fore-
man" is a title unused here except
in documents, violently official. He
asked for the Foreman and Harry
came. For that he ls-and a good
one. But he doesn't exploit it.
He's a Master Craftsman and real
Craftsmen do not know nor recog-
Mise Foremen. Harry has an an
cestry, too. He draws College
mans salary, called "so-much-a-
week" He's a mechanical genius
born that way. He knows Print
ing-the how, when and why. He
may not know Chaucer but he
knows old English. He is un-
acquainted with Architectural His
tory but he knows his Gothic
Types. He may not know his
SHAKESPEARE, but he can beat any
Professor in seven states in a
Spelling Bee. He learned it at the
case and proof stone. He's an
American-looks it, acts it, lives il
and talks it.
Away from the story again.
The Professor, glancing at the
ceiling, gave a resume of the com,
ing campaign. A dissertation, ii
was, .on the dangers 10 our Ian
guage by the increasing prevalence
of Slang" 1T had become
alarming. Scholarship was en-
barrassed. 1t had even dared en-
ter the sacred halls of the College.
The horrors of the Dark Ages
darkened the sky. Learning was
Sick-and dying. SO he was found
ing an Anti-Slang Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to the Eng
lish Tongue. An Anti-Slang week
would start the following week
The Pronouncement would be made
in Chapel and thereafter the

Rhubarb Sponge.

Two tablespoons granulated gelatin,
IA cup cold water, whites of eggs, l
cup rhubarb sauce, 1-2 cup sugar, :
cup milk.
Soak the gelatin in the cold water
until it is soft. Scald the milk, and
dissolve the sugar in it. Pour the hot
milk over the gelatin, and stir it until
the gelatin is dissolved. Set the mix
ture in cool place until it begins to
stiffen. Then beat it well with an egg
beater, add the rhubarb, and fold in
the well-beaten whites of the eggs.
Turn the mixture into a mold that has
been rinsed with cold water and chill
it until it is set. Serve the sponge
with whipped cream.

For The
Homemaker's Eve
Rhubarb: Dessert and Tonic


Rhubarb which possesses highly
desirable nutritional quantres, anG
may be procured at reasonable cost,
is rich in mineral salts, and is some
thing which all persons are likely to
need as a spring tonic.
The first novelty in cooking rhu-
barb may be overcoming an old pre-
judice in favor of removing the skin.
This thin red skin should be left on if
one is to secure an attractive, beauti-
fully colored product, no matter what
rhubarb recipe is to be followed. An
other innovation in the plain prepara-
tion of rhubarb is baking rather than
stewing it. Alternate layers of rhu-
barb and a generous sprinKling of
sugar, placed in a baking dish with a
few small pieces Of butter and little
grated lemon-rind or cinnamon on
to- will rive the family an entirely
new conception of rhubarb sauce.
All during the hot summer months
rhubarb itself, or rhubarb juice or
jelly, will make a pleasant, cooling
item on the weeks menus. In gelatin
desserts, sherbets, punches or in
shortcake OF pudding, on coo,er days,
rhubarb has its place. Once it be-
comes popular to the family taste,
some must be canned for winter use,

MRS. CONNORS
WASDIYORCED
OVER YEAR AGO
Was Separated from Eng
fish Husband Jan. 80, 20.
Had Right to Re-marry

The Caledonian- Record in its issue
of Thursday, January goth, gave
prominence to an article headed
"Continue Roundup Of Aliens" This
lltice told OF the Investigations of
immigration officers in regard to the
coming 10 TINS country OIL Mrs. Ohm
Woodrow COnnors, an English wom-
an who has since become the . wife
OF John y. Connors Of st. Johnsbury.
lhc article said: "Mrs. Connors,
who is separated, but not divorced
from her first husband, was deport-
ed by the officials last summer" This
part of the article is erroneous. As
a matter Of fact MIS-. Connors Secur-
ed an absolute divorce from her hus-
band on January 80, 1920. A record
OF her divorce is on file at 'he Office
OF the Caledonia County court.
This newspaper secured its infor-
nation through immigration sourc-
cs and believed at the time that this
information was correct. There was
no desire on the part Of the CaIcdo-
niar-Record to do an injustice to
Mrs. ConnoIo and this article is
printed in the ho~c that it will do full
justice in correcting any wrong i'm
preston that might have been gained
in the previous article.

success of big business enterprises to-
day. The firm OF True g. Blanchard
of which John Akin was a partner,
owes its success, in a large measure,
to the keen business ability and untir-
ing energy of this man. The many
qualifications of the firm of True and

Mr. Akin. John r. Akin was per
haps the most progressive business
man on Main street. Certainly none
exceeded his bountifuI store Of
energy, his enthusiasm, his cheerful
presence.
The spirit in which he did things

in his dealings with the younger
members of the bar, being patient
with their plumbers and ever ready
and willing TO give them his own val
liable time and the benefit of his eX-
perience if they wished his : assis-
uance.
Something over d year before his
death, Mr.. Dunnett learned that his
blood pressure was above normal and
was advised by his physicians that
this was symptom which he should
not neglect, and to relieve which, nee
essitated that he take better care of
himself. But the demands upon his
time were so many, and his interest
in his clients welfare was so great,
that for a considerable time he would
not induced to take the proper pre-
cautions and much needed rest, but
instead during that time labored al
duously in some very heavy litiga-
ton, which served to greatly dewitt
allze him. Subsequently some kidney
trouble having developed, he COM
menced taking greater leisure, but it
was difficult for him to break away
from the industrious habits of life
time, and the quietude of a sanator-
ium was too irksome for him to en-
dure for any long period. Neither
he nor his friends realized that his
condition was necessarily serious until
we'll along into the summer of 1920,
and even then he seemed confident
that a few months rest and proper
dIet would enable him to recuperate
sufficiently to serve others for some
years to come. But the rest and
treatment had not been started suf-
ficiently early and from about the
first of August, 1920, he grew stead
lily weaker, and on September ii,
1920, at his Summer Camp
in Groton, Vermont, where ne
had gone in the hopes of recupera-
ton, after having been confined to
his bed for less than three weeks,
he passed on, his splendid mentality
having maintained its vigor practical
" to an end. He suffered little OF
no pain during his last illness, but in
the words of Bryant approached the
end,
Like one who wraps the drapeIy Of
his couch,
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.
His public funeral service held IN
the old Presbyterian church ut South
Rvcgatc, was largely attended, not
only by relatives and neighbors, but
by prominent men from all parts of

An instance of the rapid growth
and development of the business with
Atlanta as principal headquarters are
now advertised in more than sever
thousand newspapers in the United
States and Canada, and that the adj
Vertising appropriation Tor this yeal
will be in excess of One Million Dol
lars.
The success and permanently Of the
business is assured from the fact that
it has shown a rapid and substantial
increase each year since its organ
izaton, and the further fact that the
business for the year just past shows
an increase of approximately 20 pei
cent over the preceding year.
BIG FOREIGN DEMAND
To supply the demand for Tanlac
it has been necessary to erect two
great modern Laboratories-one at
Dayton, Ohio, and the other at Walk
erville, Canada. These Laboratories
represent the last word in modern
construction and laboratory equip
ment, The two plants have a com
bned floor space Of Approximately
10000 square feet, with a combined
daily capacity of $4,000 bottles. Tan
lac, which is medicine of unQues-
toned merit, is now sold in practi-
cally every city, town and hamlet
throughout the United States anC
Canada. In fact, it is a household
word throughout America.
The new Company will not only
undertake the further expansion Of
the business in foreign countries
where there is a steadily increasing
demand, but contemplates acquiring
at an early date additional manufac
turing facilities in this country anC
Canada. The Company is doing ar
annual business Of from $5,O0O,0Ot
to $6,000,000 with an annual pay rol
of approximately $250,000. The eX
ecutive and sales offices occupy
more than an entire floor Of thu
