GOOD COOK KNOWN BY
SEASONING USED

II hOmemakers were to plead with
the Goddess of Cookery for single
seasoning that would improve the
flavor of vegetables, meats, cereals,
eggs, fruits, nuts, candies and bev-
erages, they would receive in very
short order, box of salt. Accord
ing to Alma l.. Garvin, extension
nutritionist, Ohio State University,
salt is the most important seasoning,
and good cook adds a little even
though the recipe does not call for
it.
Vegetables are cooked in water
that is lightly salted. When frying
or boiling meat, salt should be added
after cooking, since it tends to draw
out the juice of the meat. But
meat roast can lose very little juice
this way because the proportion Of
exposed surface is mparatiyeIy
small. So roast may be salted be-
fore it goes into the oven.
Foods such as cornstarch pud-
dings, cooked cereals, and breads
need a bit Of salt to bring out the
bland flavor of the starch. In a
recipe for yeast bread, this amounts
to about one-half teaspoonful to a
cup of -four. For biscuits, one-third
teaspoonful to a cup of flour; for
mullins and griddle cakes slightly
less. The standard amount of salt
to use in cooked cereals like rice.
oatmeal, or corn meal is one tea
spoonful to quart of water.
Miss Garvin says skillful cooks
add few grains of salt to cooked
fruits and fruit drinks, cocoa, milk
shakes, and other beverages. Be-
cause salt seems to make "sweet
things sweeter,' it should always be
included in candies, cakes, ice
creams, and sweet desserts. Some
times the cake shortening contains
salt. 1t not, from one-fourth to
one-half teaspoon of salt is enough
for the ordinary cake recipe using
from one to two cups of sugar. Salt
makes egg whites beat up faster, to
slightly greater volume, and
makes poached eggs set quickly.
On sweltering summer days It
may be good idea to get more salt
than usual in the diet, because the
body loses quantities Of it in per-
spiration.

RUBBER MUD-GUARDS APPEAR
in NEW YORK

The dream Of many motorists for
non-dentable mud-guards seems
about to be realized. Some of the
buses in New York City have been
equippd with mud-guards of syn
thtic rubber made from sulphur and
petroleum substances and they are
standing the gaff in great shape.
When side-swiped, they yield and
then snap back into place when the
pressure is relieved. So far these
flexible mudguards have not been
made for private cars, but expert
menters are tinkering with them.
Another novel use of synthetic
rubber is seen in the moving hand
rails on the escalators in use at
Rockefeller Center. Flexible, yet
resistent to wear, the handrails
make their circuits thousands o.
times day.
Uses of synthetic rubber are IN
creasing, reports the American Pc
troleum Institute, and it is finding
many novel applications.

According to rather wide reports
church attendance seems to be on
the increase in this country. Var
ious city surveys have revealed this
fact in a number of communities. A
survey in Omaha, Nebraska, show
ed a so percent increase. The United
Lutheran church reports a 80 per-
cent increase in attendance among
it's 900 mission congregations dur
ing the past year.
The Royal Scottish Museum, in
collaboration with the Church OF
Scotland, is arranging for the col
lection and exhibition Of Commun-
ion plates, cups, flagons, beakers,
ffatters, ETC., from every part OF the
country. Many of the pieces al
ready secured date from the 17th
century. They exhibit many de-
signs and are extremely valuable.
One of these is the baptismal bowl
presented by Queen Elizabeth to the
Church of Scotland. 1t is now IN
the possession of one of the church
es in the outskirts Of Edinburgh.
The oldest Methodist church in
this country has started a once-a-

SECREST MAY ENTER RACE
FOR GOVERNOR

Friends of Congressman Robert
Thompson Secrest of the 18th dis
trict have brought the news to Co.
lumbus this week that this Democrat
will be candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor i'll
the May, 1910, primary. Close asso-
ciates inform us that he proposes TO
lead the Democratic hosts back into
the state house. There will be other
candidates but those who know the
Senecaville school teacher best say
he. never has SHE'D at a primary bat
tie.
The news so startled Republicans
at Caldwell, the home of Congress
man SecreSt, that former State Sen
ator Willard Campbell, a Republican
leader at Cambridge, executed a
Paul Revere to ride into Columbus
to warn Republican state headquar-
ters that "Secrest is coming"
Republicans of the 18th district
are much impressed with Congress
man Secrest's campaigning. Only
two Democrats have been elected to
congress from the district since the
Civil war. The first was former
governor George White, who won
much support in his home town Of
Marietta, the county seat of Wash
ington county, noted for its support
of the Republican party.
Congressman Secrest was the rec
ond Democrat to leave the hills Of
the 18th district for the congress
sional office building at Washing
ton. In the congressional directory
he informs all that he is the only
man in either party to carry all six
counties of the district. His Repub-
lican neighbors insist, however, that
the Roosevelt landslide had some
thing to do with this.
Congressman Secrest is a young
man, as candidates for governor go.
He was born on January %, 1904,
near Senecaville.
The years 1929, 1880, 1891 and
1882 were important ones in bis
life. In November, 1929, he mar
ried Virginia Bowden of Cadiz. In
November, 1880, he was elected rep
resentative to the general assembly
from Noble county. In 1881 he was
chosen superintendent OF Murray
City schools. In November, 1882

INCREASE IN SALES TAX

In the weekly sales tax report by
the state treasurer, collections for
the week ending April 20, 1899,
show an increase of $4,000 over
the corresponding week of last year.
Collections for the weeks ending
April Is, 1899, and April 22nd,
1899, showed decreases of $358.000,
and $192,0000, respectively, attrib-
uted to vendors decreasing stamp
inventories prior to the issuance of
the new style stamps. Therefore,
approximately $4,000 of the above
increase represents vendors increas-
ing inventories to normal proper
tiOns.
Much of the remaining increase is
due to vendors purchasing the new
style stamps, although they held old
style stamps for which they will
later receive credit memorandums.

Beverage Alcohol and the Home
Jer. 35:5-10; Eph. 1881; 6:1-4
for Sunday, May FL:
The evil effects Of alcoholic bev-
erages is as old as time. The Old
and the New Testaments are full OF
warnings. In the first part of this
lesson, jeremiah uses the long his
tory of total abstinence as a means
of showing up the sins of Judah.
v. S. ''And I set before the sons
of Rechabites pots full of wine, and
cups; and l said unto them, Drink
ye wine.'' This tribe was loyal to
the teachings of their founder JON
adab, though he was dead for many
years; they learned by experience
the value of total abstinence and
even the request of good man to
drink would not change their course.
The Rechabites had learned the fun
damental principles of good char
acter and happy living, namely by
obedience. With this setting Jere
miah could show up the people pro.
Tossing to be Gods children who
failed to obey Him.
V. Neither shall ye build hous-
es, nor sow seed, nor plant vine
yards nor have any; but all your
days ye shall dwell in tents; that
ye may live many days in the land
where ye are strangers. They liv-
ed simple, humble life free from
the temptations of those having ad-
yantages. Greater opportunities
call for greater responsibilities
which il not discharged properly
entail moral losses.
v. 15 "See then that We walk
circumspectly, not as fools but as
wise" We are taught to live care
full lives, avoiding such things as
are evil in their nature or tendency
The wise man will learn the right
principles of life and put them into
practice.
v. 16. "Redeeming the time, be-
cause the days are evil" Every day
brings with it opportunities which if
not used means that that day has
been lost. Evils will never be cor
rected if opportunities to do good
art not embraced.

wise, but understanding what the
will of the Lord is" Educational

human wisdom, but all these are fol-
ly if the course in right living is not
the major one.
v. 49, "And be not drunk with
wine, wherein is excess; but be fill
ed with the spirit" There is only
one way to be full and that is to be
full of the Spirit. That is the posi-
tive way Of dealing with the liquor
problem-expelling the desire, the
appetite for drink by creating and
developing a desire and, hunger
for righteousness as the Christian
way of living. We can no more reg
ulate the liquor problem han we
can regulate the devil.
v. 10. "Speaking to yourselves
in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody
in your heart to the Lord" The
Christian religion has given the i'm
petus for the truly great music OF

Christ was born has been caught UP
by His followers. Keeping in tune
with God furnishes a tune in the

v. 20. "Giving thanks always for
all things unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus

one of gratitude. BY keeping the joy

might be worse and for this be
grateful.

V. 2. Honour thy father and

practice the ideals of Christian par
ents is to honour them though they
may have gone to their reward. To
do this assures the realization of the
next verse.
v. 4. "And, We fathers, provoke
not your children to wrath, but

carry out this command is to alien
