Borah's Denunciation.

The activities OF the bonus promoters
to-day inspired Senator Borah, VINO
heartily disapproves of the scheme to
sound a note of warning which DIS
concerted the lobbyists of the Ameri-
can Legion but did not affect the indi-
Gated lineup of Senators on It, In
statement to the public this afternoon
the Idaho Senator said:
"rhis week will dispose of the tariff
bill in the Senate. We are informed
that the next bill TO be taken up ana
rushed through is the bonus Dill. III
seems incredible in view OF the busi-
ness and industrial conditions or the
country that such a program would De
considered by men charged with the
responsibility of directing pubic af-
fairs in a crisis like that which CON
fronts US at this particular time. The
situation in the industrial world is
very much more serious, more dis
couraging, than when the President
came before Congress in July. 1921,
and asked that the bill, for economic
and financial reasons, be postponed.
sBy reason of the transportation and
the coal situation conditions have
been aggravated almost to point of
disaster. The situation startles any
one who stops to think about it and
who knows the real situation. The
outlook for the settlement of these
matters is not very encouraging. But
If they were settled this week still the
damage, the injury to business and
the disturbing effects upon business
would be very great. The coming win
ter at the very best is to try the
patience and the courage and the
patriotism of our people-the whole
industrial world, capital and labor
alike Nothing, nothing can prevent
heavy losses to the farmers, fruit
growers and potato growers OF the
West. by reason of the difficulty super
imposed in getting cars to move their
crops, especially such crops as fruit
and potatoes
"In the face of these conditions for
Congress to deliberately add an in
debtedness or obligation of the Gov
ernment ranging all the way from four
or four and half to five billion dol
lars. is a reckless and shameless dis
regard or those interests Whlcn We are

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls twenty and twenty-three yeara of age and are in love with two young men twenty-one and twenty-four years of age. These men are very rich and want us to marry them They would give us anything our hearts desired. We two girls are very not like these young men very well. but our parents want us to marry them. What should we do?
 We want to know if it is correct to let a boy take you home from a social gathering if you did not come that way?
 One of us boards with some people who have a boy. She was going to a show one night and promised a girl friend to go with her. Then this boy asked her. What should she have done?
 If a girl is to stay with a girl friend ali night and her boy friend comes to see her that evening, should the other girl stay up with her or go to bed?
 ANXIOUSLY WAITING.
 Money cannot buy everything the heart desires in marriage. Without love I would not advise you to marry.
 If the boy friend and not someone you have picked up'' it is correct to let him take you home,
 She should have kept her promise to her girl friend. If the boy wanted to go along too, she should ask her girl friend if she were willing.
 She should stay up. If the girl wants to entertain company alone she should do so in her own home.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am seven teen years old and like to have good time, which I have always had until at the present time. I am engaged to be married the last of this month, but

| I am a little worried. Before I was engaged to this young man he wanted to go out and have a good time, but now he doesn't want to. He always wants to be with me and of course that keeps me from going.
 My mother likes him, and his mother has wanted us to marry for am afraid she thinks 1t is I who is changing her so so much.
 Please tell me what to do. Should tell his mother that I still want to go out and have a good time, or just let her think I do not?
 I love this young man and am go- ing to marry him, but. do not want his mother to think I am going to be an old woman because I am going to get married.
 THANK YOU.
 Perhaps you misunderstood the reason for the change in the mother of your hance. He may tell her that you want to go to places when he does not, and perhaps she feels that you will not be willing to settle down.
 It is right that you should not be willing to settle down to home life without diversion and pleasures. It is just as wrong for a man to want his wife to stay at home all the time as it is for her to insist upon going al- most every night in the week. Un- less your fiance is willing to respect your wishes and to want to please you by taking you where you want to go within reason, your future looks on- tnous and I would advise you to think a long time before you marry. It would be better to refuse to marry now than to de yourself to a man who will make you unhappy all the rest of your life because of his selfishness You are merely a child and should not enter into marriage if there is a shadow of doubt in your mind.

OILY HAIR.

If the hair is too dry or too oily. there is usually a great deal of dand- ruff on the scalp. In any case the hair will be neither pretty nor healthy. Now the only way to cure dandruff is to use a great deal of oil on the scalp and to rub it in thoroughly. This means that the hair will get oily and sticky and will lie flat against the head and generally be such a nuisance that the woman will be tempted to keep on washing it to make it fluffy, and consequently to undo all the good of her treatments.
 The best thing to do when treating the scalp with oil is to give the hair a weekly dry shampoo. The best thing to use for this is either powdered oris root, which comes as a coarse white powder; or plain yellow corn meal and run it through a fine sieve The coarse part will remain in the sieve and the fine powder will fall through. The coarser the powder, the easier it is to brush out of the hair afterwards Some very smart beauty parlors carry a coarse powder which they color to match the shade of the fair and sell at exorbitant prices. But unless you wish to spend a lot of money, powdered orris will be just as effective and will not cost you very much.
 Dust a generous amount into the hair, then begin to brush thoroughly until you have gotten it all through the hair. Keep on brushing until you brush it out. Then at the end, put a large wad of absorbent cotton over the brist1es of the brush and go over the hair with that. This will take off most of the loose powder left on the surface of the hair and will make the

See if your family does not enjoy pork shops more when prepared as in the following simple home dinner menu:
 Cream of Cheese Soup
 Savory Pork Chops
 Baked Rice and Tomato
 "Amadamnies''
 Coffee Queen Pudding
 Cream of Cheese Soup: Crate American cheese until you have two tab1espconfuls of it. Place this over the fire in a small agateware pan to melt (nliId heat) and then add three tablespoons of sweet milk. Now put one quart of sweet milk in the top of a double boiler, add to it 1-2 cup of vermicelH and let cook until the verniceln is tender.

 Savory Pork Chops: Buy as many pork chops you will need for your family and place them in a baking pan with a thin slice of raw onion on each one and a little dash of pepper; pour little water into the pan and bake until the fat of the chop is crisp and the meat tender. They are deli ctous done in this way.
 Baked Rice and Tomato: This dish is so simple that it hardly requires a recipe, Cook your rice in the usual way in the top of a double boiler. then season it and turn it into a bak- ing dish with enough canned tomatoes to moisten well. Cover top of dish with buttered bread crumbs and bake for 30 minutes in a hot oven.

Bread This recipe is very similar except that it does not call for sado and is baked in gem form. It has been used for years by a splendid Massa chusetts housekeeper.) Dis solve 1 tablespoon of lard in 1 quart of boiling water and pour this onto cup of Indian meal. When partly cool add 3-4 of a yeast cake dissolved in a very little tepid water, 2-3 of cup of molasses, 1 teaspoon of salt and enough bread flour to make a stiff batter. Do not knead- Let rise overnight in a warm place, and in the morning knead well, adding a little more flour, put into oblong-shaped gem pans. let rise again until almost double in bulk, and bake in hot oven for about 25 minutes. This re- cipe makes 3 dozen gems.
 Queen Pudding: 2 cups stale bread crumbs, yolks of 2 eggs, l quart of milk, 1-2 cup sugar, jelly, whites of 2 eggs level tablespoons sugar. Soak the crumbs in a very little cold wa
 CT until soft, and drain. Beat the egg-whi'es until stiff, sweetening them with the tablespoons of sugar. Spread this meringue on top of the jelly and slip the pudding into the oven until the meringue Is Drowned. Serve. This is a pudding well worth the trouble of making.
