tabiespoonfuls Of caramel flavor In
vanilla ice cream give q pleasant
variation.
After combining all the ingredients
for any Ice cream, the mixture should
be put In the refrigerator for several
hours to improve the texture and
make 1t easier to freeze. When pack
ing the freezer six pounds Of finely
crushed Ice should be used for each
pound Of salt. If the freezer Is turned
slowly and steadily for eight minutes
at the beginning 1t will only need to
be turned fast for about two minutes.
To mold ice cream after 1t is suf-
fciently frozen, any clean can Of suit
able shape, with a tight-fitting lid,
may be used. Baking-powder tins,
lard pals, or coffee tins, II they per-
nit turning the ice cream out In good
shape, may be used. The mold should
be well filled to prevent water from
coming Into 1t. When 1t Is time to
unmold the cream, the mold should
be slightly warmed In hot water and
a hole made through the center Of
the cream with a pencil or rod to
admit air.
Chocolate Ice Cream.
To plain vanilla ice cream add one

hut one reason Large retailers featur-
ing imported goods do so because they
can obtain the goods laid down in this
country, tariff paid, for less money
than they can purchase the goods OF
American manufacturers. In view of
this, how foolish to charge the Ameri-
can manufacturers with protiteering!
What do the large retail interests
which handle imported goods say re-
garding prices? Here is a quotation
from a page ad in the New York pa
pers during December by one of the
largest retail concerns in the United
States:
January sale of household linens
and towels. During the past eight
months buyers have secured Ireland,
Scotland, Germany, Belgium and
Czechoslovakia in preparation for this
sale. The assortment is wide and
the prices are substantially lower
than they have been for years.
another one of the very large re-
tail concerns advertises imported lin
ems at prices lower than have pre-
vailed for seven years. Take toys
Large retail houses featuring toys
advertised throughout the holiday
season that they had a greater supply
of foreign-made toys at lower prices
than ever before in the history of
their business. One of the largest re-
tail houses in the east advertised that
its buyers had spent three months in
Europe DuylHB toys dt tHe great 10Y
centers OF London, Paris, Brussels,
Leipzig. Nuremburg and Florence.
so the list might be Indefinitely
continued. There is no doubt there
has never been such a flood of i'm
ported manufactured goods in the his
tory of America as has come into this
country in the past twelve months
under the Fordney- -McCumber act
The records of the customhouses
prove that fact. The advertisements
of the larger retail concerns from
coast to coast prove imported goods
are being featured and sold to an un-
unprecedented degree"

Bureau Says.

Warning to disabled former serv-
ice men in all sections of the country
not to come to Washington in the
hope of adjudicating their claims un-
less they are sure their individual
folders are in the central Office Of the
Veterans Bureau was sounded today
by the local Office of the Disabled
American Veterans.
The announcement said "a pathetic
and desperate situation is now offered
In Washington as result of the
number of disabled men who have
arrived during the holidays in the
hope of personally prosecuting their
cases." Many of the visitors, 1t was
added, reach the city with funds to
last them a few days and when they
find they must remain several weeks
until their papers are asked for they
soon become destitute.
To-day" continued the announce
ment, there are sufficiently large
number of disabled men here to con-
vince others of the folly of making
the trip to this city unless assurances
are positive that the utterly neces-
sary folder is already here"

the world over, under every

cumstance of failure, without

thanks, still obscurely fighting

be thoroughly demonstrated and, IL
possible, corrected when the demo-
Gratis have an opportunity to discuss
the bill and offer amendments or a
substitute measure. Democrats In
Congress can be depended upon to
act favorably upon every sound pro-
vision Of the Mellon plan, but they
will not be coerced into accepting
its unjust and discriminatory provis
ions by any cooked-up propaganda.
Secretary Mellon Is the highest
placed representative Of the special
interests this country has ever
known, and among all previous at
tempts to intimidate and coerce
Congress there has been none on
such a huge scale to compel public
Endorsement Of a bill before all of
it's provisions were made known as
the present conspiracy. or any in
which the methods were bolder or
more deceptive.
The effect Of this self-exposure
of this conspiracy should be not only
to check Its operations. but to warn
the Congress and the public against
the method used and to ultimately
secure tax revision upon an equitable
basis and not for the major benefit
OF that class from which the con-
Spiracy emanated."

DECLARES OLD MEN
DOMINATE CHURCHES
Unitarian Pastor Here Says Re-
ligious Leaders Lack Touch
With Age.

fPeople are just beginning to
realize. and it comes to them like
an awakening from some horrid
dream. that our great religious COM
munions are dominated by men past
middle life, by men who are not in
touch with religious currents of the
present day. with men whose scholar
ship has long been discredited, and
that these men in power are doing
their utmost to silence men like
Bishop Lawrence and a minister lik e
DIR. Buckner Of Nebraska" declared
Rev. DR.. Ulysses G. B. Pierce. pastor
Of All Souls Unitarian Church, in his
sc rmon yesterday morning at Keith's
Theater.
'These men are doing everything
they can to throw mist in the eyes of
men and women who shall give us
the truth. Let us judge for our
Selves" declared DR.. Pierce, who, In
speaking of the Bible, said that to
those who had made religious inquiry
their chosen field Of work, the books
of Moses In the old testament rep
resent the accumulations and ampli-
ficaIions of several generations.
ITO take this as history. literal
hoistory, is to do thing just as
ridiculous as IL we should try to re-
construct the early history of Great
Britain from Tennyson's Idylls of
the King; said DR.. Pierce, who de-
plored that for two generations the
officials of religion have withheld
from the people the bread of truth,
and by following the expedient of
silence have allowed one generation
upon another to come upon the scene
unprepared to appreciate the modern
Interpretation of religion"

It is enacted In the laws of China
that IF a mandarin, on the strength
of MS power or credit, steal the wife
or daughter of any freeman, he shall
be imprisoned for the usual time, and
then put TO death by strangulatiOn."
The poor man so SHINING Is beaten
and imprisoned only. The heaviest
punishment that can befall the woman
is castlgation and sale And in no
instance can she be sold but to man
who binds himself by the most sacred
Of all Chinese oaths to treat her
kindly. In some provinces she may
be sold, not by her husband, but by
the Judge before whom her offense is
proved.

has not kept her marital VOWS, re-
celves 20 strokes of the bamboo. A
man who conniyes at his wife's frailty
is most severely punished.

A typical case in point Is tennis

fered at some time or other.
The symptoms vary from mere stiff
ness of the elbow joint to severe
cramp, eliminating in some instances
in temporary inability to use the arm
for any purpose Sometimes too.
there is a painful swelling of the fore
arm.
A kindred complaint is tennis leg"
which affects in a, somewhat similar
manner the muscles of the calves and
the knee joints. Another example
where the leg muscles are the victims
Is afforded by riders sprain com

Elerce Wars over Cinnamon.

For over 200 years wars ragged and
nation succeeded nation in possession
of the island of Ceylon, In their greed
to obtain the fragrant cinnamon.
Finally the land fell to the lot Of the
Portuguese, who so cruelty treated
the natives that they appealed to the
Dutch, with whom they were on
friendly terms, to come to their aid.
This nation for seven months laid
siege to the island, carrying on
fierce warfare in which many persons
persisted.
Finally in possession, the Dutch
were hardly less cruel to the natives
than their former rulers. They tried
to keep the monopoly of the trade OF
the world; not a single cinnamon
plant was allowed to leave the island.
If the crop was larger than that de
manded by trade and the price in dan
ger of being lowered, all that re
manned was burned or thrown into
the sea.
Cinnamon is now grown in many
tropical countries, and much I'M
proved by cultivation.
