Russia and Mexico

~~@e~N
 Tn his closing plea, which tore the tail feathers out of the Ameri- can Eagle by the flstful, to the up- roarious delight of the duPont diners, Mir. Smith dragged in "the foul breath of communistic Rus- sia" and "the goddess Union of the Soviets." Strange words to come from one who, against the set pol- icy of his church and contrary to the constant plea of that church's accredited spokesmen, advocated and worked, as Senator Robinson pointed out, for the recognition of the same goddess Union of the s0viets." Doubtless in the hope of winning votes Mir. Smiths CO., religionists will be reminded be- tween now and election day that in 1929 he received the Laetare Medal, an award made annually by Notre Dame University to "a member of the Iaity who has won prominence by distinguished acc cOmplishment for country and Church." They will not, however, be reminded that the voice which so bitterly denounced "the foul breath of eommunistIc Russia" at the dupont dinner has yet to be raised with equal bitterness and with similar publicity in denuncia- ton of the persecution to which MT. Smiths church and Mir. Smiths fellows in the faith are be- ing subjected in next-door Mexico. There is no real need for the res hinder because MT. emith's iniiu- ence on the members ok his church is non-existent.

Unpleasant but Necessary

Tn touching on the religious is- sue the writer is well aware that he will be accused of waving tho bloody shirt and of resurreoting a corpse better loft to rot unnoticod. But since the duPont Liberty Leaguers have demonstrated that they will resort to every weapon to defeat tho Democratic candidate next Fall and since they imagine that MT. Smiths influence over his eo-reiigionists Is still effective, plain speaking on that point Is obligatory.

their frozen feet. Tn the popular sight, MT. Smith, ex-humanitarian has gone where the woodbine twineth and his influence, as champion of the poor, the weak, etc., etc., etc., has departed |ith him.
 ,UD-There was . time when MT, smiths managing of the Kings English, his recourse to "aints" ''folsts" and ''raddlOs" in all his public addresses had an effect. They made the judicious grieve but they certainly made the unskill- full laugh. The candidate for the presidency of the United states was lost sight of in "Ap Smith, "a regular guy", tone of the boys what be's around" and "a fellah. that success ain't gone to his head". The impression lasted through the 1928 campaign and for soTno time after it. But bit by bit 1t began to fade and disappeared altogether at the duPont dinner. Both the un- skillful and the judicious now real- ise that what they took for Q real- fly was only Q footlight imperson- ation. The ZAP Smith, who rose like an Horatio Alger hero from ohseurity to fame, and from pen- ury to plenty, exists no more. Tn his shoes stands Q press agent Tor Big Business from the palaces of the kings. MT. Smiths once. faithful audience has penetrated the disguise of the brown derby and will follow 1t no longer even for the occasional laugh he pulls out of it.
 (ITD Prohibition Is now 0 dead issue and Mfr. smiths active op- position to Mir. Hoover'S "noble ox- pertinent" is 50 much water over the dam SO that his influence as c wet advocate amounts to nothing because there is no one on whom he could bring 1t to bear. All that remains of tho Alfred E. Smith of tho past is tho target of Q fanatlcal religious bigotry. Lot us see to what that amounts ct this writing.

You can't make q rffcringie with tncnnthtions, even though the per- feet result does seem sheer magic. You may want to use the electric mixer but elbow grease Is better
 Tn order that the action of air may be complete, the egg whites should be beaten with whisk. 4 dover beater or churn bcnter cannot whip the amount of air necessary to make perfect mer- ingue from the egg whites.
 Eggs from three to live days old are most satisfactory. They increase in volume more nt this stage of freshness than at any other time. Also eggs that are not too cold become stlifcr than the chilled ones VIC used to be advised to use. Keep this in mind when you make an angel food cake, too. Some cooks. in their zeal to get fresh eggs, dcfcnt their own ends because q dny-old egg does not beat ID Rs stiff as thrcc-day egg.
 Two Kinds of Mcringue
 Great care must Dc taken Co separate tho white from the yolk. Even tiny bit of the yolk pre- vents the white from beating well. If much of the yolk is broken through the white the egg can be used for some other baking, but not for meringuc. However, n small amount of yolk can be rec

 A simple mcringue b used for pic and pudding frostings. For mcringue shells you use the same ingredients in different propor- tons.
 If you store the shells in an air- tight contniner they will keep q week or more and they certainly make q festive dessert filled with fresh fruit and whipped cream. or with any fec cream mixture. Plain McrinEue Whites 2 eggs, tablespoon lemon juice. c tablespoons powder cd sugar, few grains salt.
 Beat whites of eggs with lemon juice until stiff. Fold in sugar and salt, adding about 2 tablc- Spoonsful of sugar at time, Pile on pic or pudding and bake fif- teen minutes in a slow oven t300 degrees F.) The lemon juice fia- vOrH the meringue and also helps to harden the albumcn, making n fine mcringue.
 Meringuc shells
 One-hnlf cup egg whites. i-B teaspoon salt. cup fine grant, lated sugar. Ia teaspoon vanilla.
 Beat egg whites on n large plat ter until stir. sprinkling salt over when beginning tO beat. Beat in two tablespoons sugar.

Your Children
.RARRNTR.
By Olive Roberts Barton

While I realize that mothers can- not always call the doctor when someone fin the family Is ill. never thelcsg fear I shall have to go on urging that nothing of serious iffl- port Dc left to gueSwork.
 Not BO long ago, aTl outraged lady who took exceptio nto my references to doctors in these columns wrote; "Ill put my children up against yours any day, and never had q doctor in my house"
 congratulated her. Either she is endowed with the best "gucsscr" in the world, or her children are blessed with unusually good health. Or else they recovered from whatever illnesses they may have had because diagnosis was not necessary and general care and good nursing was all that was required.
 Watch Symptoms Closely
 Certainly every mother learns to depend on herself. She knows that when Johnny's stomach refuses to retain . meal, he must go on thin diet or none until his stomach rests. But if he repeats it several times, develops a temperature and 70 on, the experienced one knows that here is the end of her responsibility. Such symptoms may mean the beginning of one of q dozen things of serious nature. The same with fevcrish colds. coughs or sore throats that refuse to improve with early home treatment.
 However, there is one thing that I believe does not come under the wait-and- catagory. This is car- ache. And this iB q perfectly swell time of year for old Man Earachc to go visiting.
 While I always hate to play the role of Calamity Jane and spy out imaginary Indians on tho horizon, this time I feel constrained to say my piece. While some earache will get along nicely with home treat fnent and Johnny may be back nt school the day after tomorrow, still m dall he mightnt. There is m Indian by the name of Mnstoiditis that never has been locked ID. He is an expert shot with his arrow, and tt is funny how hc loves to hit bee hind the enr in that vulnerable place 50 close to the brain. Earache is merely signal that he isn't any too far away--the warning to keep an eye peled for possible trouble. March . Bad Month
 A baby can't tell iis when he has earachc. But he will cry and turn his head or hunch his shoulders. Perhaps nc will touch his head, If the mother iS reasinobly certain it ig ear trouble. suggest she get professional opinion.
 Also, if older Johnny or Mary has toothnchc of the car tdid you ever have ono2) and it isn't well by morn 6 date with someone who knows. ing, or rcclirB frequently, I'd mako Early treatment may r0ut the en- cmy completely. Late assistance may mean tho hospital and pretty bad operation. MaBt0id diBeaBe usu- ally must be operated on at once.
 Best of all, however, is to guard against ear infection. Keep ears covered all winter. IL is too early to let them sprout. Bee that night air does not blow right over unpr0- tested heads. Of course head colds affect ears. but this is something we can scarcely control. Teach children to blow noses gently Hard blowing forces germ-ladcn mucus up the throat-tubes Into the middle ear.

A specialist in foods, Dr. Albert E, Rowe, has worked out il series of diets by which persons can tell lust what foods cause Lhem tO suf- fer from sensitiylty. According to his plan, each of these diets should be taken for seven to 10 days tO determine whether ths symptoms of food sensitiyllY have been climln- nted.
 As soon nE this is accomplished with Ons of the diets, additional 40Ods are added. one ht il time. and kept on the list 1T the symptoms do not reappear. If kensitlgily re- turns, however yo1 know that lbls additional food was the cause. and it should be eliminated permanently from your diet
 Your doctor. of course, can give g0n specific advice 0n this matter of decentralization.
