WHO are the Democrats in In
w diana talking about for Presi-
dent?
That depends entirely on where
they are doing the chattering.
AS far as presidential choices go,
Indiana looks like one of those
fancy parfaits. You know the kind.
One colcr fruit and syrup in the
center, ssndwiched between some
other shades.
Now up in northern Indiana,
along the lake, where the sentiment
is wet, you can hear a lot of Frank
lin Roosevelt talk. The New York
Governor also receives some favor
able mention in indianapolis, Evans
vile, and New Albany, among those
who are strong prohibitionist
Business and manufacturers in
the northern and central manufac-
turing areas lean a little toward
Owen D. Young, who to them is a
representative Of their class because
of his connection with big business
and the tremendous ballyhooing &C
corded him in some national weekly
magazines.

HOWEVER, when the comment
IL and gossip turns to presiden-
tial possibilities at the Indiana
Democratic club here, and among
the farmer element in the party, the
name of Newton D. Baker keeps
| bobbing up.
Secretary Of war in the Wilson
administration, Baker escaped with
ing his reputation.
"Wets" are pleased with his per-
sonal stand on the Wickersham re-
port, while the 'drys" feel that he is
not a radical on the subject and is
the lesser of the two evils proposed.
Agrarian-minded Democrats also
declare that, as middle westerner.
he would be more welcome to the
farmers than any of the fasteners
mentioned.
TINE only fear that has been ex-
Il pressed regarding Baker is that
the old German communities in the
southern part of the state may be
swayed against him because of the
important position be held during
the World war.
Thirteen years have elapsed since
then and the old resentment has
cooled, it is pointed out.
Bakers name has been brought
to the fore because. of the high
praise showered upon him by Gen
eral Pershing in his recently pub
lished memoirs and this has resulted
in decided drift toward him, III
Indiana, at least.

| way. "It will never do to let him see
me over here" thought Black Pussy,
and made of as fast as she could, all
| the time trying to keep out OF sight OF
Farmer Browns Boy. He saw her, how
ever.
so Black Pussy has discovered that
nest of Mr.. and Mrs. Yellow Wing,
keep an eye on her. I wonder II those
eggs have Matched yet"
He walked over to the pole and
struck it sharply couple Of times. In
stantly that buzzing sound began.
Farmer Browns Boy smiled. 81 thought
it was about time" said he. ITO Judge
by the sound there is quite O family In
there. Yes, sir, there is quite family"
He looked all about for Black Pussy,
but could see nothing Of her, for she
was taking pains to keep out OF sight.
He looked up at the round doorway to
the Flicker home. THAT - pretty high
up for Black Pussy doubt II she'll
try climbing TO It," he muttered. still,
I'll keep an eye on her. The greatest
danger will come when those young
sters come out to try their wings"
No sooner had Farmer Browns Boy
disappeared than Black Pussy was back
at the foot Of that telegraph pole, her
tail twitching and an eager, hungry
gleam in her eyes. Both Yellow Wing
and Mrs. Yellow Wing were away hunt
ing food. Black Pussy knew this, for
she had seen them go. She looked
hastily all about. She saw no one
watching her. Then she started up
that pole.
The instant she began to climb that
buzzing sound started The higher she
got the louder it grew. You see, those
babies heard the sound of her claws on
the wood. OF course, they didn't know
that that sound was made by an
enemy. To them 1t meant father or
mother bringing food. Black Pussy was
grinning again.
st hope that hole isn't so deep that
thought she. ut must have been bet
ter to have waited until they were big
ger. Well, If I can't reach them this
time. IN try again. My, there must be
a loD of them to make all that noise.
Black Pussy was almost to that door
way. BY this time she had forgotten
everything else in her eagerness to get
those young F1ickers. So it was with
no warning whatever that she received
sharp blow on the back Of her head,
blow that hurt so that she almost
lost her hold on that pole. 1t was yell
low Wing who had struck her. With
ming. Yes, sir, she did so. She turned
her head and snarled savagely, then
twisted her head to one side to save
one Of her eyes from the sharp bill Of
Mrs. Yellow Wing.
Black Pussy was in q bad position.
She couldn't let go with the claws of
even one foot to strike at those angry
birds; she didn't dare to lest she fall.
She couldn't dodge around the pole
after the manner Of Happy Jack Spur
rel. At first she decided to keep on
and get at least one Of those babies,
but quickly gave up that idea. Then
she began to back down. It was slow
work and the sharp bills Of Yellow
Wing and Mrs. Yellow Wing struck her
so often that the air seemed too full Of
sharp bills. They hurt. Yes, sir, they
hurt.
Half way down she could stand no
more. She simply let go and dropped.

FOOD PROBLEMS
By sALLIE MONROE.
Vegetable Courses.

1t Is French trick to serve one vege-
table at a time, making an entire
course Of it at luncheon or dinner. We
Americans. Of course, frequently serve
a simple salad as a separate course, but
We would seldom think Of serving green
peas or carrots or parsnipS or green
corn as a course by themselves
Perhaps it all seems rather foolish to
youths continental habit Of eating q
vegetable by itself. One reason that
they do 1t in France Is, Of course. be-
cause they are and have had to be a
very economical race. They must get
the most out of all the food they have
at their disposal. They cannot be 30
prodigal as we. and they are naturally
very discriminating Of fine flavor.
Sometimes the vegetable course Is
served before the meat course and
sometimes after. You may have heard
of the trick Of serving an egg, poached
or scrambled, as an entire course ct q
smart luncheon or dinner. It seemed q
bit surprising, and yet served that way
1t was delicious.
Dreamed asparagus on toast Is q vege-
table that is hard to serve on the plate
with meat. and possibly vegetables be-
sides, and 1t Is dificult to accommodate
the pate containing the asparagus be-
side the large dinner plate. A much
simpler plan Is to serve your asparagus
on toast as a separate course. following
the meat: and II you have no maid, or
only one, you will find that it is far
easier to serve 1t piping hot when
served as q separate course than when
served with the main course. Fried
parsnips, II you like, with rashers Of
well fried bacon, may be served alone
as an entree.
Spinach with croutons is served as a
separate course by French housewives.
II you like. you may add slices Of hard
cooked eggs. Green beans, well cooked
and favored with salt and butter are
sometimes served as a separate course
with little chopped ham sprinkled on
top. Fried or creamed mushrooms
make an excellent single course.

as though she were doing something
disgrAceflll. That seems to me very
queer. But It's even queerer that the
people to whom she applies for work
agree with her and look down on her.
Employment agencies nearly always
do this.
How does IL come about that people
are ashamed OF being out Of q job? I
think It's something like this:
very rich country. In the beginning
everybody who wanted work could get
1t. There weren't enough people TO 60
around. There were new lands to be
cultivated, new mines to be dug, and
new houses to be built Naturally, In
such a situation, IL was disgraceftil not
70 be working. It meant that you were
lazy and shiftleSs. because otherwise
you could always have found plenty OF
work to do
Slowly the country grew up. Houses
were built. the mines were poorer, the
lands were taken up. Machinery was
improved so that one man could do the
work OF 20 men. Factories began to do
women's work, so there was less to do
in the home. And so today there isn't
enough work for all the people who
want It.
To be out OF work no longer means
that you are shiftless and lazy. It's no
longer a reflection on you. It's a refiec-
ton on things as they are. II you are
out of work now you ought not to be
ashamed. You ought to be indignant.
You ought not to hide 1t. You ought to
raise a big row about 1t. You are not
asking q favor but only the right to
work.
Girls having problems In connection with
their work may write TO Miss woodward, In
care OF this paper. for her personal advice.

Neurasthenial What word! What
Neurasthenia Is just another word
for nervousness, and nervousness can
mean O lot of things.
Sometimes, in fact usually, the suf-
ferer complains Of queer bodily sensa-
tons. But these sensations are often
substitutes for something else. Visions
Of failure, lack of pep, absence of in
terest or other what-notS in the realm
Of mind.
There Is such thing as fighting so
long with conflicting problems and dis
appointments that one actually be-
comes tired. When a person loses
interest in the outside world, he begins
to be serious about his inside world. It
Is then that the physical symptoms set
in. Naturally II you have nothing else
to do but think about yourself, you will
begin to get interested in the physi-
illogical processes which under ordinary
conditions you would never notice. So
some may have a neurasthenic heart.
others neurasthenic stomach, still
breathing deflexes. Painting spells,
dyspepsia, and feelings of suffocation
are their respective by-products.
What of It? Train yourself to keep
out Of unsolvable perplexities about
acumen. Beware OF vaulting ambitions.
Take no account Of idle gossip. When

Your Baby and Mine


Having nursed the baby successfully
for eight or nine months, the mother
views the approach OF weaving with
apprehension. This necessary separa-
ton Is disagreeable for mother and child
and she delays 1t as long as possible
But we must go forward. Development,
nutrition and more advanced methods
OF eating wait upon weaving. No state
should ever be continued beyond the
point at which the disadvantages out
weigh the advantages.
The next two months are the desir
able ones for weaving. There 10 no
longer any such alternative IS "nurs-
ing through the Summer" Only one
mother out Of thousand can nurse her
baby after the ninth month. Under
nourishment is one Of the foremost pen
alties paid by the infant for prolonged
nursing, and the season itself demands
that baby shall be well used to any new
type OF feeding before Summer compli-
Gates matters.
The baby who has been thriving on
breast milk may be weaned slowly. This
Is most comfortable for mother and
child. 1t is only when the baby has
already begun to show the effects Of
prolonged nursing that weaving can be
more or less abrupt. Our leafiet on
Helpful Advice on How to Wean the
Baby" has been used SO successfully that
we have no hesitancy In suggesting 1t.
A self-addressed, stamped envelope
must be sent to this department with
each request for the 1eaflet.
II baby refuses to take q bottle-and
some are stubbornly set against one
the mother need not throw UP her
hands in despair and decide that she
must continue nursing or baby will
starve to death. Babies are not made
that way. Besides, there are always
cups and spoons to replace q bottle, and
the older the baby the more desirable
these methods are.
Suppose the mother wants to start
with one bottle feeding daily, which the
baby spurns. She may take this eight
ounce preparation: Six ounces of milk,
blespoonful Of sugar, and divide it up
into four equal parts. These two ounces
may be offered by cup before each of
the regular musings. Make q delight
full game Of It, Do not become excited
II baby splits out part Of 1t or refuses
to swallow. Keep right on Offering it.
Then nurse the baby. Do this for q
week. Then prepare twice as large a
formula and give four ounces by cup
time in a small, light cup. Encourage
the baby to hold the cup with his own
hands, even IL the mother guides it and
prevents his being deluged with milk.
Keep on in this manner untfl baby Is
getting eight ounces Of formula every
four hours By cup, and no musings
at all.
WEAVING Is necessary step. It can't
be postponed. Force antagonizes a
child. and should not be used. The
mother must find some peaceful and
effective method by which she can
convince the baby Of the desirabilitv
OF this new food. There is always a
way II the mother conscientiously de-
sires to find one.

THE BUTTERFLY
~eSG4 eSrVNY0vySHwy

The vogue Of refectory tables for
modern dining rooms continues pro-
nounced. These long, narrow tables,
closely resembling davenport tables, At
well into apartment rooms, especially
those which must serve two purposes,
such as living room and dining room.
When laid for a meal, the refectory
table may have one long runner so
wide that plate doilies can be omitted
Or 1t may have q very narrow, rec
tangular center cover, which is supple
mented with plate doilies.
The homemaker who wishes to pro-
duce an effect of refectory style and
has q square dining table can do so
by putting in q leaf, or, better still, a
half leaf. On this go two refectory
runners, one along each side, instead
Of plate doilies, while a rectangular
plate dolly fits into the space across
each end. The centerpiece Is long and
narrow, but Is not as long as the side
runners. The runners, especially those
along the sides, stress the length and
minimize the width Of the table.
Refectory table napery follows the
fashion for ornate linens, such as COM
binations Of lace and embroidery, all
lace, lace and cut-work, all embroidery,
etc. For simple home breakfast and
luncheon sets, the pieces are frequently
work is also used In exquisitely dainty
sets Of colored linens with white APP
plique, or with white linen and pastel
colored applique motifs. Sometimes
this work is supplemented with trac-
cries Of embroidered lines, such as
stems, scrolls, etc. And again, cut
work and embroidery are combined
with applique in the sets.
For summertime sets, pale green, sug-
costing the fresh tint of sprouting
foliage, and white applique motifs are
cool and dainty. Or delicate daffodil
yellow with green Is another charming
color combination. Orchid and green
or orchid and white Is another pleasing
summertime color scheme. 1t Is not so
adaptable to all kinds of tableware as
Is the green and white, however. For
pure harmony of napery and china the
