QUARRY CITY LIFE
INSURANCE M Al
GETS FREE TRIP

E. M. Deming of Sandstone, left for
Kansas City, Mo-, Saturday where he
will attend the sectional meeting of
agents of the Lincoln National Life
Insurance Co. Mr.. Deming began
writing life insurance during the early
months of 1880 and from that time

the volume quota set by the company
to entitle him to the trip with all ex-
penses paid. By industrious efforts
and business-like ability Mr.. Deming
accomplished that which no other
agent in this district accomplished
this year and he has been fittingly
rewarded for his efforts.
The meeting in the southern city
is three-day session and Mr.. Deming
is representing this district compris-
ing six counties, Pine, Carlton, Aitkin,
Kanabec, Isanti and Chisago. Sec
tiOnal meetings are annual affairs
staged by the company with educa-
tional features as well as social taken
into consideration in the arrangement
of the program. One of the chief edu-
cational features on this years pro-
gram is an address by DR.. Chas. ].
possibly the most eminent
insurance authority in the country.
While in Kansas City Mr.. Deming
will visit his parents who are spend
ing the winter there and a card just
received from him is full of the spirit
He will be gone all this week.

Cannot Ignore the Issue

It appears that neither the Republicans nor tho Demo-
Gratis can ignore the liquor issue when they assemble
next year in their national conventions. At this writing
1t seems that the Republicans will espouse the dry end
Of the argument and leave the Democrats to fight out
the adoption or rejection of the wet issue. There is a
much stronger element within the ranks Of Democracy
to favor stalking political fortune on the wet issue than
exists in the Republican party.
Unless conditions change materially, Hoover looms up
as the next Republican nominee. Even his %insurgent
enemies, such as La Toilette and others, are predicting
his nomination. Hoovers dry tendencies are known and
1t is uncomfortable that he will run on any platform which
Is not definitely for q continuation of the noble ex-
pertinent"
The squabble at Washington recently between the wet
and the dry Democrats predicts a lively contest between
the followers of Smith and Raskob and those of Senators
Robinson and Morrison. Nomination of a dry by the
Democrats and of Hoover by the Republicans would. to
a great extent. take the liquor issue out of the next
campaign. At any rate such an alignment would put
the ardent vets out on a limb.
But the issue cannot be ignored BY either party and
the conventions Of both parties will be enlivened by de-
bates on the subject.
The Democrats who favor the wet side OF the argu-
ment seek to have the states regulate the liquor bust
ness. Chairman Raskob Of the Democratic national
committee suggested this solution seeking to appease
the southern Democrats who are strong state rights
advocates, but his suggestion did not meet with the
anticipated approval. Instead it started an old-fashioned
row within the ranks of his own party. It is going to
be very difficult to find any common grounds upon
which either Republicans or Democrats can agree where
the liquor issue is concerned. There seems to be no beg
rinp this issue. One has to be either mihtantly wet or
conservatively dry. Party leaders are finding out that,
on this issue at least, it is becoming harder and harder
to hedge or dodge.

The Innocent Victim
washington Starr

The suicide of any child is tragic, but there are
elements which enter into the death Of the sixteen
year-old daughter Of Vivian Gordon that wiring the
heart. She was SO clearly the innocent victim, and she
was so much alone. When she was nine years old her
father and mother were divorced. The thoughtful at
tention of kind relatives could not make up for a loss
which, despite anything they could do, set her apart
from other children. And at the age of sixteen. that
most impressionable of ages, she found herself the daugh-
ter OF a woman sensationally murdered, and the investi-
cation of the murder led to sordid and dirty revelations
that were Haunted to the world.
When she went on the street children pointed. Some
of them laughed, for children can be most cruel. And
what the children and the neighbors did not do were
done a thousand times over in her own brooding imagin-
alton. The big, busy world outside her own room had
stopped to point her out, to sheer and stare. So she
retreated, as any one would want to retreat, along the
only road that offered her shelter. One can only hope
whom she left?

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
SUN YAT-SEN'S BIRTH

On March IL, 1867, Sun Yat-sen,
Chinese revolutionary leader, known
as the Father of the Chinese Re-
public, was born of native Christian
parentage in the Kwantung province.
Following his curse at the new
medical school in Hongkong, of which
he was the first graduate, Sun de-
voted himself to secret activities aim
ing to overthrow the Chinese mon
archy. His personal influence had
much to do with the inner organiza-
ton of the 1911 revolution against the
Manchu government.
Sun was in England when the rev.
olution began. He returned to China,
and on Jan. S, 1912, took the oath Of
office as provisional president of the
new republic, at the request Of the
national convention at Marking. He
resigned the next year, but when the
president who succeeded him died,
Sun put himself at the head of a
movement for an independent re-
public of South China.
He died Of cancer at Peking.

Democrats Maneuvering

If the Washington correspondents know their po-
iitics, there is far from agreement upon Gov. Roose-
Welt of New York as the next national standard bearer
OF the Democratic party. His followers are reported
as being dspleased over the maneuvers of John J.
Raskob, who is credited with being more anxious to
bring about repeal Of prohibition than anything else,
and claims he is wrecking party harmony as q result.
Raskob is thought to favor Owen D. Young as
against the governor Of New York and his moves are
construed as being hostile to the presidential aspira-
atoms Of Franklin q. Roosevelt. His second choice would
be AL Smith declare the political soothsayers.
Supporters Of Roosevelt desire to ~soft-pedal the prohi-
bition issue and. hoping to attract support of the progress
siyes Of the nation, advance more vital economic issues,
such as that Of water power development. Raskob is
an exponent Of big business and i hostile to anything
that smacks Of public ownership Or the reforms that
are agitating the sdherents Of more progressive political
ideas. Much to the dismay Of the progressive Democrats
1t the recent committee meeting In Warrington, Raskoh
urged the party to back and encourage mergers Of great
corporations and to get behind capital generally - the
only hope Of reviytng business conditions Hb political
suggestions aroused the ire Of many Democrats, includ-
ing the friends Of Roosevelt.
Al Smith and Raskob are reported as not enthuiastic
over Roosevelt and are charged with stacking the po'
i,tical cards against him.. How much truth there IS 10

rGCpLANT A GOOD yEGETABLE

EGGPLANT A GOOD VEGETABLE
Many people have a prejudice
against eggplant because they have
only eaten it fried. One Of the most
i~ndigestible dishes on the modern
table is fried eggplant, which is liter
ally soaked in grease and thus rem
dered unfit for food.
Eggplant Is really a very whole
some vegetable If it is properly pre-
pared. It Is very highly priced In the
South but it is not as popular else
where as 1t deserves to be.
Eggplant does not get its name be-
cause it is usually dipped in egg or
has the taste or food value Of the egg,
but solely on account of It's egg shape.
Another name for the egg plant is
the Guinea squash. It grows on a
small bush which is botanically re-
lated to the potato family.
Although the egg plant looks very
solid it contains more water than
milk, for 1t is SO per cent water. It
IS rich in organic salts, its principal
value being the large amount of po-
tassium.
The egg plant should be prepared
by either boiling in plain water,
steaming, OF baking in the oven.
Probably the simplest way Of cooking
egg plant is to first peel it and cut
it into small pieces, cooking in Just
enough water to cover. It may then
be served seasoned with butter and
cream. II it is cut In two it can be
baked readily In the v or small
ones may be baked whole and the
fleshy part removed afterwards with
"a spoon. Here are a few recipes
which you may find interesting:
Stuffed Egg Plant
Cook the egg plant for about Is
minutes in enough boiling sailed wa
ter to cover. Cut a slice from the top,
and with a spoon remove the pulp,
leaving about q half inch Of the flesh
close to the skin. Chop the pulp fine
ly, add chopped ham, a small amount
of Melba toast crumbs and a small
amount of tomato pulp. Mix well,
add a little chopped parsley and but
ter on top. Place in the shells and
bake for Is minutes.
Corn and Egg Plant
To the contents Of one can of corn
add a small chopped egg plant and

this cannot be told, but 1t is apparent that Roosevelt
is getting more support from southern Democrats than
the Raskob-smith combine. They believe he is much
more acceptable than a Smith or q Young.
Whether Smith is a receptive candidate or not is merely
speculative. He won't come out for Roosevelt now.
Some party ~strategists declare he is merely conserving
his political strength to throw 1t where it will do the
most good when the time arrives. AS yet he is not re-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hyper-TenslOn

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hyper Tension
Question: N. II. writes: Il would
like to know the difference between
arterial hardening and arterial ten
sion. One doctor told me I had
hardening o fthe arteries, another,
apprehension of the arteries. Going
through a clinic, they told me I had
slight apprehension, but most OF my
trouble was caused from nervousness.
They could find no other cause for
high blood pressure. MY worst trou-
BILE at present seems an awful blue,
depressed feeling, with sensations OF
numbness and tightness in the head"
Answer: High blood pressure may
be caused by the arteries hardening,
with a deposit of calcium, or they re-
main too contracted simply because
of a toxic state of the blood, where
the calcium does not form. In either
case, the cure depends upon living on
a diet excluding all starches and SUI
CARS for a long period of time.
Desserts
Question: F. D. asks: what des-
serts would combine with a meal of
one starch and several green vege-
tables, cooked and raw?"
Answer: There are practically no
desserts which combine well with
starchy foods. Use gelatin and fruit
desserts only with a protein meal,
where NJ starch is used.
Measles
Question: S. A. v. asks: "How long
should a child just recovering from
measles be kept in a dark room to
prevent injury to the eyes?"
Answer: The child should be un-
der the ARE of a physician and his
Judgment depended upon about the
darkened room. It is generally a good
plan not to keep the room completely
dark all Gay, but to let a moderate
amount of light in every few hours
