TAINTED TITLES

England is having another over the scandaous
connection Of politics and titles of nobility. Lloyd
George accused he has often been before of hav
ing recruited the funds of the Liberal party through
the bestowal of titles The London Daily Mail says:
reply is that the Conservative Party has done and
is doing exactly the thing
Another British paper suggests that the government
should be deprived Of the power to make recon-
mendatlons for honors' to the King, thereby taking
titles out of politics.
We have had money scandals in American
politics than British brethren have had but for
tunately we have lacked title scandals, which are as
bad worse We have been saved from that by the
wisdom of the fathers Of the Constitution who placed
In that document prohibition of such honors. Can
ada recently sought to avoid the same peril by par
liamentary resolution asking the King to confer no
titles Canadians
A curious fact in this connection is the American
worship of foreign titles without regard to their or
lgn. Our nobty-lovers may sneer at tainted money"
without having any anmus all against tainted titles

NO LIFE IS TOO
ORDINARY FOR
JESUS CHRIST
Great Teacher Never Says
One Life Is Better Than
Another. Palmer Says

we shall consider tonight the
closed door, which is the closed door
OF the human heart said Rev.
stephen Palmer, preaching to a large
congregation AT the First Prcsbytcr-
ian church last evening from the
third chapter of Revelations.
Everyone who has known Jesus"
he said, has nothing but love for
him and Jesus stands 1T the door and
knocks. He stands there as friend
in anticipation Of the door being
opened. You go to the door OF a
friend, you ring the bell or knock
and if the friend is home you expect
the door to be opened. That is what
Jesus expects Of Us when he says.
Behold ! stand at the door and
knock: if any man hear my voice and
open the door. will come in to him,
and sup with him and he with me
Everyone in this room tonight
considers Jesus, in one way or an
otner, as "A friend, but what is your
life showing of that friendship?
Does your life so express Jesus thar
another will say, 4 would be a Chris
tian too Does your life so reveal
Jesus that man who never knew 81
fiim would say i want the same
Jesus that man has? We are busy
and have so many things coming in
our life that we don't just know how
we can take time for Jesus. We
don't know how we can find time to
bring that word of invitation To an
other. But somehow, after ii is all
over and that great acceptance has
been made. we look back and wonder
how we were ever satisfied without
Christ.
Many DO Not Hear Him
'Jcsus is knocking at the door of
many hearts in Bismarck tonight
who do not hear the knock because
Of reycry within. When Jesus
makes the offer of salvation to you
ana 20 me. we are to throw open the
door just as we are. He knows that
the interior is not perfect but if we
let Him in things will take their rel
ativc value and the worthless will
disappear. Blu; we must be Wiling
to let Him in beyond all things else
and our life will be different
IF you would stand and knock at
the door of a friend as long ms Jesus
knocks at the human heart you
would have been discouraged and
left long ago. But Jesus never
leaves He shares the common life
and the common things we have. You
think your life is too ordinary for
Jesus. Not at all. He doesn't say
anywhere that one life is better than
another. II is Jesus who gives the
bread Of life We cannot live with
out bread II is Jesus who rives
the water Of life We cannot live
without water

FOODS SHOULD BE STORED
IN REFRIGERATION PROPERLY

Flavor and proper preservation of
foods are influenced by the manner
in which they are stored in the re-
frigerator, DR.. Martha Manning,
home refrigeration expert, asserts.
Green vegetables, as soon as they
are received should be prepared for
cooking, placed in glass jars, with
lids, and put into the refrigerator.
Those too bulky or unsuited to jars,
may be wrapped compactly in hem
med squares of cheesclOth, to save
space and keep the refrigerator neat.
Berries should not be washed be-
fore they go into the ice box, as the
added moisture increases their ten
dency to mold. Fruits having strong
odOrs, such as apples or oranges
should retain their paper wrappings.
Oysters and fresh fish should be
kept very cold. Oysters may be put
into a covered jar and buried in
cracked ice.
To crisp lettuce, cabbage, celery,
green onions and radishes quickly
they should be put into bowl and
covered with shaved ice. Before SER
wing they may be drained in a sieve
and dried on a soft towel.
Mixed fruits, for fruit salad or
fruit cup, attain perfection of flavor
and texture if sealed into a covered
glass jar and buried in shaved ice
an hour or two before serving.
Milk bottles need careful cleaning
before they go into the refrigerator.
They should be dipped in cold wa
ter and dried with a clean cloth,
with special attention to the paper
cap, before entering the ice box.

OVER9

The Canadian Falls never freeze
over entirely. 1t is improbable that
this could occur, because the water
is deep and the current rapid at the
center of the channel. But the flow
of water of the American Falls has
been stopped by ice on the following
recorded dates: March 29, 1S4S;
March %, 1908; February IA, Is, 16,
1909; Apri 81, 1912, and January 20,

HAMMER FILES PLEA
TO END INDICTMEN
Two Demurrers Offered-Mrs. An
ma Apolonio Likewise Moves to
Terminate Case.

Conteuding that DIR. Dec Hammer
and Mrs. Anna Apolonio, both charged
with conspiracy to kill the latter's
husband, are not shown by the in.
lctments to have committed any Of
Tense against the United States, at
torneys for both defendants yesterday
fled two motions to quash and two
demurrers to the indictments in Grim
inal Court. The papers were filed on
behalf of DR.. Hammer by Attorneys
Fred L. Meyers. James r. Flynn and
Thomas ]. Luckett, and on behalf OF
Mrs. Apolonio by George r.. Mcneil
and r. Joseph Donohoe.
1t is asserted on behalf of DR.. Ham
mer that the indictment is vague.
indefinite and uncertain: that it does
not fairly and sufficiently present the
charges against him which he expects
to meet at the trial; that the matter
charged in the Indictment, even Il
true. does not constitute any offense;
that the agreement which the indct
ment alleges was entered into be-
tween the defendants and other par
ties could not have resulted in the
commission of crime against the
United States; that there is no charge
or recital III the Indictment that the
defendant committed any overt act
that is required under statute; that
facts alleged and set out as overt
acts are, in fact, premises upon which
the charge of conspiracy is founded
and are part of the alleged con-
spiracy itself, and that the Indictment
is clearly based upon the assumption
that the acts set out as overt acts
are overt acts, while, in fact. the al
legged overt acts are merely evidence
of and part of the alleged con-
spiracy.
The demurrer on behalf of Mrs.
Apolonio and the two motions to
quash. one on the indictment of each
defendant. put forth substantially the
same grounds as the demurrer in the
case of Dr. Hammer.
