"Inl take a chance" said the
girl.
Having said this, she started the
car with the starter which had been
added by Charlie a year before to
the cars ancient equipment. After

the girl, with a note of terror in her

"0h, dear; I thought / was going

Charlie felt q sudden wild desire

The dessert for an invalid should
always be very dainty and appetiz-
ing. Very often the dessert adds
quite as much to the nourishment
OF the meal, as the main dish.
Never serve q sick person any
thing that Is not perfect IN its
way. II the custard is oyerbaked
and seems watery don't serve it.
Let some we'll member Of the fam
lily eat 1t to Save it,, but prepare
q fresh onerfor the invalid. After
a patient Is we'll enough 10 eat, his
food means more TO him and his
speedy recovery than most cooks
realize.
Frozen Cream

tablespoons powdered sugar, 2 tea
spoons vanilla.

SAT- and pour over a strong brine.
In ten miEtes scrape down tho
edges Of the mixture and beat in
the cream whipped until stiff.
Let stand two or three hours,
scraptng down the sides as they

II earthen ware cups are used put
them into a pan Of cold water as

Democratic Aid
To Republicans
Is of No Avail

The official canvass of the prim-
airy election which was completed
by Secretary of State Kozer Friday
reveals the fact that many of the
defeated republican candidates re-
ceived the endorsement OF the
democratic party. These how
ever, are barred from capitalizing
this endorsement by the act of
1921 which forbids defeated
candidate from accepting the
nomination OF another political
party or running as an independ-
ent candidate.
Among the defeated republican
candidates who were nominated
by the democrats through writing
in the names were A. w. Norblad
of Astoria, candidate for the re-
publican nomination for repre-
sentative In Congress from the
first district, who ran some 10,-
900 votes behind w. G. Hawley for
the republican nomination, and ].
R. Th1ehoff, defeated candidate
for the republican nomination for
public service commissioner.
Numerous instances are record
ed in which the democratic en-
dorsement was given to the repub
lican nominee in instances in
which the democrats had not can
didate and one instance in which
the republicans endorsed the dem
ocratic nominee.
