HIDE TARIFF
PLEAOPPOSED
Cattlemen Want Duty;
Shoemakers Fight
Proposal

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-P-
An example of divergent tariff
views has come with the plea OF
farm representatives for a duty on
hides and a plea just as insistent
by New England shoe and leather
manufacturers that hides be kept
on the free list.
Chester Gray, washington repre-
sentative OF the American Farm
Bureau Federation, made a propos-
al before the house ways and means
committee that a tariff of As per
cent ad valorem be placed on hides.
At a session of the committee last
night representatives OF New Eng
land manufacturers expressed them
selves as stunned by Gray'S propoS-
al and said they came to Washing
ten prepared to protest a duty of
only Is per cent on hides.
j. 4. McSlwain. of Boston, repre-
Senting the National Boot and Shoe
Manufacturers association. estimat-
cd that a duty of As per cent would
mean that everybody who bought
shoes would pay from ninety cents
TO a dollar more per pair. He said
that III the course of n year this
would probably mean about S270.-
100000 more for shoes W the IA
ton.
While McElwain opposed the pro-
posed duty on hides he advocated a
duty of 25 per cent on shoes. He
said that importations Of shoes into
this country had grown during the
last five years from 398,929 pairs
to 2.6i6.884 pairs.
Martin Loewenberg. of New York,
representing the National Council
of American Importers and Traders.
in protesting against the proposed
duty on shoes said that imports
we're less than one per cent Of
American production.
A delegation OF leather tanners
appeared before the committee and
asked for duties on their product.
j. w. Byron, Williamsport. Md,
representing upper leather tanners,
asked a rate of 20 per cent on cat
lie and upper shoe leather.

Don't Forget the Fruit Buffers

Who doesn't remember when
fruit buffers used to hold an Inn
portant place on the menu of most
any meal. Yet, of recent years.
they seem to have lost caste. Fruit
buffers, being not so sweet as jams
and jellies, are better for children.
Apples, plums, pears, peaches and
grapes which are attractive and
wholesome spreads. Z.
In making these buffers, sound
fruits should be washed, cut and
cooked in a small amount of water
until tender, then rubbed through
a sieve. Add one cup of sugar to
each cup of fruit pulp and cook
butter until thick and clear. Spices
and lemon juice may be used to
add flavor to buffers. The cooked
product may be canned or sealed
in jelly glasses.

Breakfast Briefs

In cooking cranberries, do not
use soda and cranberrles IN the
same dish. Soda is sometimes en-
ployed to soften the skins and re-
move the bitter taste, but it des-
troys yitamin C and vitamin B, for
which cranberries are valuable.
and does not affect the vitamlns.
Sugar will cover the bitter taste.
The skins supply the rougnage
that is essential in the diet.
Experiments with tapioca show
that it is an excellent thickening
agent in mousses and other frozen
desserts and does away with the
taste of corn starch which is so
apt to be present in foods in which
this ingredient is sued. The tapio-
ca is scalded with the milk and
strained.
Pasteurized pitted dates are now
on the market. The removal of the
pits makes them easy to prepare
quickly for table use, and the pas
teurizing insures the purity and
enhances the flavor Of the date,
destroying none of the valuable
mineral content.
A carpet or rug should he made
back ground for objects placed
upon it.
To keep the metal tops of salt
shakers from corroding, cover the
inside with melted paraffin. While
the paraffin is cooling, the holes
may be opened with q pin.
The housewife can save many
steps at her work in the kitchen by
grouping all equipment, large and
small, into compact work centers,
for the preparation Of raw food,
cooking, serving, clearing away and
dishwashing. The kitchen is the
place in which work in connection
with preparing and serving foods
is done, and it should be limited to
this use if possible.
A pretty-patterned oilcloth fast
ened to regular roller will make
an attractive window shade for the
bathroom that can be cleaned.
To keep hot biscuits on the table
without going to the stove every
few minutes, put them in cass-
erole which has been heated in the
] oven with the biscuits.

Here's another candy recipe
made just for the youngsters who
will enjoy an old fashioned candy
pull during the holidays.
In a heavy saucepan put liz cup
molasses, LIZ cups sugar, LIZ cup
water and 1 IL tablespoons vine-
gar. Bring slowly to boiling point,
stirring gently until it boils. Add
Id teaspoon cream tartar. Boil
to 254 F on candy thermometer or
until mixture becomes slightly
brittle when tried in very cold wa
ter. Stir gently and constantly dur
ing last part Of cooking.
Add 4 tablespoons butter and 1-8
teaspoon soda and stir and cook to
256 degrees F. Pour on slightly
buttered platter. When partially
cool, life mixture from platter and
pull, using tips of fingers. If your
hands are clean, cold and dry, and
the candy is pulled lightly and
quickly, the candy will not stick.
While pulling, flavor with tea
spoon vanilla or other flavoring if
desired. When the mass is light in
color and begins to get firm, pull
it out to an even strip and snip it
with the scissors into inch pieces.

Dinner Will Be
No Task IF Planned RIGHTLY

Fruit cocktail, fresh celery,
cranberry sauce, roast turkey with
gravy and dressing, mashed white
potatoes, creamed onions, French
rolls, butter, cottage cheese salad,
pumpkin pie, coffee, mixed nuts,
dates and raisins, mint creams.
Most of this menu can be pre-
pared beforehand. On Monday do
the marketing and see that the
linen and table ware is ready. On
Tuesday make the cranberry sauce
and bake the pies; prepare all veg
etables; make salad and put in
icebox to chill; make dressing and
fix turkey. This leaves for Christ
mas day only the roasting of the
bird, relocating pies if desired hot,
setting the table, cooking the veg
etables and making the coffee, all
of which can be done in two hours
work, though of course the turkey
must be put in the oven earlier.
This leaves the better part Of
the day to enjoy with the family.
And if there are enough to go
around, see to it that those who
got the dinner are not the ones to
do the dishesl
Merry Christmas!

Do Not Worry About

The universal popularity of al

is responsible for the competitor,

may result I'm cancer or other ills.
Many worried mothers have call

OF the Public Health League. to
ask whether they should discard
their aluminium. They are told not

mum IS entirely without danger.
exhaustive research wark, con-
uuc'eo by qualified scientists. has
demonstrated that some aluminium
can De found in the blood and its
sues of normal persons-that the
body absorbs just the small amount
that is needed, and when that nee
essary level has been reached. tba
excess is excreted. Mother Ma
ture is wise house-cleaner.
Among the foods examined for al.
minimum content, cherries and on
ions contain the most, and large
quantities were found in lettuce
milk, flour and liver. But little was
found in apples, eggs and oranges.
So you may continue to be proud
of your bright, shining aluminium
pots and pans, remembering that
no evidence has been found to sup
port the alleged dangers of their
use. No anemia, nor destruction of
blood cells, nor cancer, nor chronic
poisoning; no Objectionable amount
of soluble salts have been found.
And no possible injury can result
from the continued use of these
valuable articles.

Don't use candles on your
Christmas tree nor place the tree
near candles, open gas or oil

DAWSON TRIAL
DATE TO BE- SET

NEWARK, N. j., May 6.-The
case of Ellen Dawson, charged with
violation of Section 3 of the Ma
turalization Act of 1906 and ar
rested and held for trial whenever
she becomes known as active in tex
tile strikes, came up in the U. S.
District Court for New Jersey this
morning. The prosecutor did not
appear and the trial was postponed.
Dawson was released on another
$4,000 bond. Her case is being de-
Tended by Isaac Shorr, representing
the New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense.
Dawson was arrested and held a
week for trial, then dismissed, in
the New Bedford strike. When she
was organizing workers in the Gas
tonia strike recently, she was again
arrested on a framed up charge,
held four days in Charlotte Jail, and
sent to Newark for trial, the date
being moved up for that purpose
from September to May 6.
She was never informed until to-
day of the specific law that she is
charged with violating.

OIL BAR0NS Get
FALLS Ranch
Sinclair, Doheny, Will
bid In" Secretary

LOS ANGELES, May &c. L.
Doheny, millionaire oil magnate,
bid in the Three Rivers, N. M,
ranch of Albert B. Fall, former sec
retary of the interior, when it was
sold at auction at Alamagordo, N.
M, today, representatives of the oil
man said. 1t is believed that Sin
clair and Doheny are in partnership
to save Falls property for him in
substance if not in form, because
each member in the oil lease swim
die knows so much about the others,
they have to stand together.
Doheny's action was taken to
protect a second mortgage he holds
on the property, it was said. The
mortgage results from the famous
100000 ''little black bag" loan
which figured in the Elk Hills oil
scandal. After making the loan,
Doheny got from Secretary Fall a
nice government oil reserve lease.
The estate of M. D. Thacher, OF
Pueblo, Col, son-in-law of Fall,
holds mortgage on the ranch for
$4,000, and Henry F. Sinclair, who
featured with Fall in the Teapot
Dome oil scandal, owns third
interest in the property. Fall gave
Teapot Dome to Sinclair.
