Cream to be whipped should be at least F hours old and as cold as pos sible. Set the dish containing the cream into another one containing cold water, then beat at first very slowly, increasing the heating as the cream begins to thicken. Never add the sugar until the cream is thick. Add flavoring the last thing of all.
 Peaches are easily rubbed and bruised and should be given room to preserve their delicate skins. Take them out of the bag or basket and allow them breathing space.
 When baking fish, if you put strip of cotton cloth under it, it will be easily lifted from the pan with out breaking.
 Try washing your cut glass in soapy water and rinsing is in blueing water. It will be beautifully clear.
 Dishes which have become brown and burned from baking in the oven may be easily cleaned after they have stood awhile in borax water.
 When boiling an old fowl or tough meet, add a pinch of soda to the water. Simmer gently and the meat will be perfectly tender.

 Lord Julian stood forward to meet him.
 "Ye don't mean sir, that you'll let that Spanish scoundrel go free?" he cried.
 And who the devil may you be-" Captain Blood asked, with a marked Irish accent.

 Lord, Julian controlled himself to af- ford the desired explanation. He did so shortly and impatiently.
 ''He took you prisoner, did he-along with Miss Bishop there?"
 You are acquainted with Miss Bish- opp cried his lordship, passing from surprise to surprise.
 But this mannerless fellow had stepped past him, and was making leg to the lady, who on her side remained unresponsive and forbidding to the point of scorn. Observing this, he turned to answer Lord Julian's question.
 T had that honor once," said he. But it seems that Miss Bishop has a shorter memory"
 His lips were twisted into a wry smile, and there was pain in the blue eyes that gleamed so wildly under his black brows, pain blending with the mockery of his voice. But of all this it was the mockery alone that was per ceived by Miss Bishop; she resented it.
 Il do not number thieves and pirates among my acquaintance, Captain Blood" said she; whereupon his lord ship exploded in excitement.
 Captain Blood! !" he cried, Are you Captain Blood?'

BERNsrETN WINS

NEW YoFK, July 2S.-Jack Zivic's ambition to wrest some day the light weight crown now resting uneasily on the ageing brow of Benny Leonard, was temporarily blighted Wednesday when the 'Pittsburg Flash went down to defeat in a 12-round encounter with Jack Bernstein, former junior light weight champ.
 The terrific slugging of Bernstein proved too much for Zivic's fragile body.

We favor policy for the fostering anc
building of inland waterways and the re.
moval OF discrimination against water
transportation. Flood control and the
lowering of flood levels is essential to the
safety of life and property. the productiv-
ity of our lands. the navigability OF our
streams and the retaining of our wet
and overfiowed lands and the creation of
hydroelectric power. We favor the ex-
peditious construction of flood relief
works on the Mississippi and Colorado
rivers and also such reclamation and
irrigation projects upon the Colorado
river as may be found to be feasible
and practical.
We favor liberal appropriations for
prompt co-ordinated surveys by the
United States to determine the posi-
bilities of general navigation improve
ments and water power development
on navigable streams and their tribu-
taries. to secure reliable information as
to the most economical navigation i'm
provement, In combination with the
most efficient and complete development
of water power.
We favor suspension of the granting OF
federal water power licenses by the fed
eral water power commission until con-
gress has received reports from the water
power commission with regard to applica-
tons for such licenses.

The Filipino peoples have succeeded In
maintaining stable government and
have thus fulfilled the only condition laid

granting them Immediately the independ-

The maladministration of affairs In
Alaska is matter of concern to all our
people,
Under the Republican administration
development has ceased and the fishing
industry has been seriously impaired
We pledge ourselves to correct the evils
which have grown up in the administers
ton of that rich domain.
An adequate form of local self-gov-
eminent for Alaska must be provided.
and to that end we favor the estab-
lishment of full territorial form of
government for that territory similar
to that enjoyed by all the territories
except Alaska during the last century
of American history
We believe in policy for continuing
the improvements of the national parks,
the harbors and breakwaters. and the
federal roads of the territory of Hawaii.
We recommend legislation for the
welfare of the inhabitants of the Vir-

THE KHAN PLANK

The Democratic party affrms its adj
herence and devotion to those cardinal
principles contained In the Constltu-
lon and the precepts upon which our
government Is founded, that congress
shall make no laws respecting the es-
tabishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof, or abridglng
the freedom of speech or of the press,
or the right of the people peaceably
to assemble and to petition the gov
eminent for a redress of grievances,
that the church and state shall be
and remain separate, and that no re-
Iigious test shall ever be required as
a qualification to any office of public
trust under the United States.
These principles we pledge our
selves ever to defend and maintain.
We Insist at all times upon obedience
to the orderly processes of the law
and deplore and condemn any effort to
arouse religious or racial dissension.
Affirming our faith in these principles
we submit our cause to the people.

RECLAMATION !


The Democratic party was foremost
in urging immediate reclamation for
the arid and semi-arid lands of the
West. The lands are located In the
public-land states. and, therefore, 1t is
the duty of the government to utilize
their resources by reclamation. Home
stead entry men under reclamation
projects have suffered from the ex-
travagant inefflciencies and mistakes
of the federal government.
The reclamation act of 1924, recon-
mended by the fact-finding commission,
and added as an amendment to the Sec
ond deficiency appropriation bill at the
last session of the congress, was elm
mated from that bill by the Republican
conferees in the report they presented
to congress one hour before adjourn
ment.
The Democratic party pledges Itself
actively, efficiently and economically to
carry on the reclamation projects, and
to make equitable adjustment for the
mistakes the government has made.

LABOR, CHILD WELFARE

Labor is not commodity. 1t is human.
We favor collective bargaining and laws
regulating hours of labor and conditions
under which labor is performed. We favor
the enactment of legislation providing
that the products of convict labor shipped
from one state to another shall be subject
to the laws of the latter state exactly as
though they had been produced therein
In order to mitigate unemployment at

Picking Them

A commercial traveller visiting a
Glasgow warehouse made a bet with
the manager that he would pick
out all the married men among the
employees.
Accordingly he stationed himself at
the door as they returned from din
ner, and mentioned all those whom
he believed to be married. In almost
every case he was right.
"How do you do it?' asked the
manager.
ooh, it's quite simple" said the trav-
eler. 1.-THE married men wipe their
feet on the mat; the single ones don't"

POLICY ON EDUCATION

We believe with Thomas Jefferson
and founders of the republic that ig-
norance is the enemy of freedom and
that each state. being responsible for
the intellectual and moral qualifications
of it's citizens and for the expenditure
of the moneys collected by taxation for
the support of Its schools. shall use Its
sovereign right in all matters pertain
ing to education. The federal govern
ment should offer to the states such
counsel. advice and aid as may be
made available through the federal
agencies for the general Improvement
of our schools In view of our national
needs.

WAR AND DEFENSE


War is relic of barbarism and 1t IL
justifable only as measure of defense
In the event of war in which the mar
power of the nation is drafted, all other
resources should likewise be drafted. This
will tend to discourage war by deprivine
/ 1t of its profits.
We demand a strict and sweeping re-
duction of ornaments by land and sea,
so that there shall be no competitive mill
tary program or naval building. Until
international agreements to this end have
been made, we advocate an army and
navy adequate for our national safety.
Our government should secure joint
agreement with all nations for world
disarmament and also for q referendum
of war. except In case of actual or
threatened attack.
Those who must furnish the blood and
bear the burdens imposed by war should.
whenever possible, be consulted before
this supreme sacrifice is required of them

of monopolles and combinations In re-
straint of trade, and has recommended
proceedings against these violators OF the
law. The few prosecutions which have re-
suited from this abundant evidence FUR
nished by this agency created by the
Democratic party. while proving the IN
difference of the administration to the
violations of law by trusts and monopo-
lies and its friendship for them, neyerthe-
less demonstrate the value OF the federal
trade commission.
We declare that a private monopoly is
fndefensible and intolerable, and pledge
the Democratic party to vigorous enforce
ment of existing laws against monopoly
and Illegal combinations, and to the en-
actment of such further measures as may
be necessary.

FRAUD IN STOCKS

We favor the immediate passage of such
legislation as may be necessary to enable
the states efficiently to enforce their laws
relating to the gradual financial stran-
Cling of innocent investors, workers and
consumers. caused by the indiscriminate
promotion. refinancing and reorganizing
of corporations on an inflated and over
capitalized basis. resulting already in the
undermining and collapse of many rail-
roads, public service and Industrial cor

ment, irreparable loss and waste, and
which constitute serious menace to the
stability of our economic system.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The Democratic party pledges all its
energies to the -outlawing of the whole
war system. We refuse to believe that
the wholesale slaughter of human beings
on the battlefield Is any more necessary
to mans highest development than Is kill
ing by individuals.
The only hope for world peace and for
economic recovery lies in the organized
efforts of sovereign nations cooperating
to remove the causes of war and to sub
stitute law and order for violence.
Under Democratic leadership prac-
teal plan was devised under which "a ma
tons are now operating and which has
for its fundamental purpose the free CO.
operation OF all nations In the work of
peace.
The government of the United States
for the last four years has had no for
eign policy. and consequently 1t has de-
Z layed the restoration of the political and
economic agencies of the world. 1t has
impaired our self-respect at home and in
Jured our prestige abroad, 1t has cur
tailed our foreign markets and ruined our
agricultural prices.
It is of supreme Importance to civiliza-
tion and to mankind that America be
placed and kept on the right side of the
greatest moral question of all time, and
therefore the Democratic party renews
Its declaration of confidence in the ideal
and the world court of justice as together
constituting the supreme effort of the |
craftsmanship and religious conviction of |
our time to organize the world for peace. |
Further, the Democratic party declared |
that II will be the purpose of the next |
administration to do all in its power to |
secure for our country that moral leader
ship in the family OF nations which. in the
providence of God. has been 80 clearly |
marked out for 1t.
There is no substitute for the League of
Nations as an agency working for peace:
therefore we believe that, in the interest
lof permanent peace. and in the lifting of
the great burdens of war from the backs
of the people. and in order to establish a
permanent foreign policy on these SUI
preme questions. not subject to change
with changing of party administration, 1t
is desirable, wise and necessary to lift
this question out of the party politics and
to that end to take the sense of the Amer
lean people at referendum election, ad-
visory to the government. to be held off,
cially under act of congress. free from

CHICAGO, September 1l.-OWlng
largely to an unlooked-for advance IN
Liverpool quotations, the wheat mar
ket here took decided upward swing
today as soon as business began. The
Liverpool advance was interpreted as
in II measure due to the Canadian
government crop report, which al
though taking no account OF Septem-
Der frost. showed a huge reduction in
the estimated yield as compared with
1928. European crop damage advices
and Indications of liberal nort busi-
ness on this side of the Atlantic tend
ed also to strengthen values. The
opening, which ranged from l cent to
Ia cents higher, with December,
1.29la to 1.30 and May 1876 to 1.36 y,
was followed by slight setbacks from
initial top figures.
Wet weather and wheat strength
gave firmneSS to corn and oats. After
opening at 1sa%4 cents higher. Decem-
Der, 1.13ss to 1.1312, the corn market
