Indiana has no senatorial campaign
this year, and perhaps 1t is just as well
for the Republicans that 1t has not
There are signs of political revolt in
the HooSier State. Undoubtedly the re-
volt would have materialized two years
ago and would have swept Republicans
out of Office right and left had the
Democrats at Houston not nominated
Alfred E. Smith for President. Right
there the Hoosier Democratic STOCK
went down. But this year there Is no
Smith for the Democrats. They have
been waiting a long time to cash in on
the Republican scandals which have
sent some of the party leaders and ofn-
Gals to Jail, and now they intend to
do so. Furthermore, they are aided this
year in their attack on the Republican
officeholders by the fact that there has
been a business depression and that the
drought has taken its toll during the
last few months.
In the present Congress Indiana has
3 Democratic members of the House
and 10 Republicans. If political OBJ

has come and gone. Indeed, there are
some who 60 even further and say the
Democrats may pick up five or six seats
in Indiana. The Republican high COM

the tide Of Democratic victory and Is

Cheese Used as a Condiment
By LYDIA LIE BARoN WALKER.

for nourishment, and the latter Is used
as a seasoning, sourch or relish. Some
times condiments play very important
part in making foods edible. soup
without, seasoning or condiments would
be a sorry liquid. Many cuts OF meat
would fail to tempt the appetite unless
condiments were employed in their
preparation or unless they were served
with the meats as sauce or relish to
supply zest.
It Is when cheese Is used to supply
zest that it enters into the scope OF the
term condiment. Then it Is not used
for nourishment, but to take some other
food more appealing to the taste.
In Italy, for instance, 1t is customary
to serve grated cheese in separate con-
tanners to eat with viands or to sprinkle
on them. It would amaze the uninitiate
to see how generally this grated cheese
generally Parmesian cheese) is sprin-
kled over foods. It Is sifted lightly into
soups, Just a trif1e In each serving. It
is used lavishly on macaroni, spaghetti,
and also on rice, white potatoes and
other vegetables.
This use Is recommended with some
dishes. For instance, stewed tomatoes
are given a little note of difference" If
q dish heaped with finely grated Par
messiah cheese Is passed for each person
to sprinkle as much as liked on his
serving Even when cheese Is used as
a condiment in the preparation of a
food, 1t Is nice to have extra grated
cheese of the same sort on the table, so
that those who like more may be able
to have 1t.

OUR CHILDREN

they get a nibble of sweetness. Then
we grown-ups get in our heavy work
Anything that gives child so much
pleasure as that isn't any too good for
him. It is under suspicion.
OF course, childhood being human
childhood, gluttony is its besetting sin
The youngster will gobble sweets If he
gets a chance. He will take off the
edge of his appetite and SO lose other
good and necessary foods. But cannot
we manage all that without banning
the necessary sweets? Without putting
such premium upon the fact that the
child values them far beyond theil
proper level? Cannot we manage sc
as not to penaliZe their use so heavily
that for the remainder Of his life the
child has a feeling of guilt when he
eats a sweet? 1t would seem that much
the same attitude that we assume
toward baked potato might well b,
carried over to the candy.
It might be well to stop offering
candy as bride. 1t might be well tc
stop depriving child of sweets as q
punishment. It might help to keer
some good candy on hand and serve II
as casually and as regularly as any
other item on the diet list.
Or 1t might be just as well to
acknowledge that it Is more fun to
eat some things than others-chocolates
and gum drops and candy sticks for
instance-and provide that fun for the
children. They have to learn not to
drown themselves in their fun some
day or other and maybe this eating
candy business Is good place to begin.
Everything in child training depends
upon what kind of child you have.
what sort of people are about him
what he means to his environment and
it to him. What is good for one child,
even in the family, may not be good
at all for the other. No matter how
wise the educator, that hard fact must
always lie at the root of the matter
But-candy in some form, to some de-
gree, is good for almost every child
All healthy children need it. The very
Ill child is in the hands of his physician
and does not figure in this discussion.
Healthy youngster are the ones that
can use a good ration of sweets daily
Candy is a food. All food must be
pure. Candy must be pure, high grade
In every respect. Have you thought
about the daily ration of candy? You
see I have to do so because children In
school must have it and have 1t under
right condition. How about yours al
home?

through 1t for minute or two. Squeeze
the fish dry and measure 1t. To one
cupful of this add two cupfuls of

If milk or butter has not been already

necessary to add a spoonful or two Of
milk to the flshball mixture. With
Toured hands, mold the mixture into

dipped into egg and milk, using one

just as they are or with poached eggs,
