 Children aren't over exactng about their food, but they do iove variety.

 Cream cheese, plain or mixed with the pineapple, is delicious on tiny crisp ginger snaps; or on oraham crackers. The other cheeses make a different appeal on a different kind of cracker. Tn the interest of economy It may be wise to use one box of cracK. CTS before another is opened. But buy several styles when you are ordering: then variety will be sure to be on hand.

 A dressier version of the cream cheese sandwich is this one which uses both pineapple and nuts With the cheese: Beat half cup cream cheese until smooth; add half cup finely chopped nut meats and nall CID well drained shredded pine apple. Mix well and spread be- tween thinly sliced buttered or unbuttered brown bread.

The broiling time for steak one inch thick is eight minutes; one and half inches thick, 10 min- utes. The broiler should be as hot as possible when the steak is first put in and the meat should be turned as soon as one side is scared. Reduce heat and turn frequently :. until the broiling time is reached. Fat that is discolored from fre- uuent use for deep-fat frying may be clarified by melting the fat and stirring into 1t half teaspoon of baking soda and four cups of water. Let boil for few minutes, removing the scum that rises. Set aside until cold and grease has risen to the top. Remove the grease, scrape off any particles or crumbs, heat and let cook until that fat ceases to bubble. Then pour off the clear grease.
 Not even crusts of bread should be wasted when making crumbs for egg-and-crumbing. But they should be kept separately from the white parts of the bread. Use brown crumbs for the first crumbing; white crumbs after the food has been dipped in the egg.
 Salt fish should always be soak cd with the skin side up, and the water should be changed several times. The flavor of codfish is Improved if the fish is soaked over night in milk.
 When relocating any food that has been cooked or baked, use a very hot oven and remove the dish as soon as it is heated through. Crumbs can be Drowned quickly by placing them under the broiler flame.
 A smooth, delicious custard may be made with arrowroot instead of cornstarch, for thickening. This custard will keep longer without Fermentation than any other kind.

 Hors d'Oeuvres

From six to F or more savory foods may be used for mixed hors d'oeuvres, which are usually served on one or more large trays from which guests help themselves.

Hard-cooked egg, minced onion, and pearl onions are the only accessories usually used with caviar. Sometimes the onion is served in small bowl in the center of the canape tray for the guests to choose, if they wish. The hard-cocked eggs are served with the whites finely minced and the yolks rubbed through a strain- CT.

FEW IMPEACHMENTS

In connection with the recent attempt
to impeach the Secretary of Labor it is in
teresting to note that in the whole history
of the United States only IL Federal Off
Gals have been impeached, and of these
only four were found guilty by the two
thirds vote of the Senate necessary to re-
moval from office
The first official to be impeached was
Senator William Blount of Tennessee, who
already had been expelled by the Senate
by vote of rs to 1 before impeachment
was voted by the House, in 1897. Decid-
ing it had no further jurisdiction, the Sem
ate dismissed the impeachment.
The four removed from office through
impeachment were all Federal judges
John Pickering in 1904, West H. Hum
phreys in 1862, Robert w. Archibald in
1913, and Halsted L. Ritter in 1886. An
other Judge, George W. English, was i'm
peached in 1926, but resigned before trial.
Most famous of all impeachments
was that of President Andrew Johnson in
1868, on charges including usurpation of
the law, corrupt use of the veto power and
interference with elections. The vote of
the Senate was: guilty, 35; not guilty, 10.
AS the vote for conviction was one short of
the necessary two-thirds, he was acquit-
ted
Others impeached but not convicted
were Samuel Chase, associate justice of
the U. S. Supreme Court, in 1905; James
Peck, U. S. judge, in 1881; William w.
Belknap, secretary of war, in 1876;
Charles Swayne, U. S. judge, in 1905, and
Harold Louderback. U. S. judge, in 1888.
A majority of the Senate, but less than
two-thirds, voted for the conviction of
Swayne and Louderback Judge Aston
G. Dayton was impeached in 1914, but the
proceedings were dropped the following
year.
The House of Representatives has the
sole power of impeachment under the Con-
stitution, but the Senate has the sole power
to try impeachments, and two-thirds of the
senators present must concur in any con-
viction.

The great Indian leader, Mahatma
Gandhi, was asked to outline his ten rules
for an ideal life. With modesty he replied
it would be presumptious for him to clay
down rules for the conduct of others, but
don't mind telling you what my own rules
of conduct have been" They were as
follows:
cd Fearlessness.
"(2) Truth.
"(3) Belief in the equality of all the
great faiths of the world
ca Belief in the equality of all
mankind
"(5) Adherence to life's law that
ones bread must be earned by the sweat
of ones brow.
"(6) Abstaining from the possession
of things for themselves.
"(7) Restraint of the palate, that is,
eating for the mere sustenance of the body
and abstaining from intoxicating drinks
and drugs. such as opium and tobacco.
"(S) Swadcshi, the belief that mans
primary duty is to serve his neighbor.

That proper trade balances must be
maintained between nations is conceded,
and the same applies to trade between
the States. Recently, however, there is
tendency towards interstate discrimination
and the erection of tariff walls despite the
constitutional mandate that commerce
among the United States be free. Dis
ordinations bring on reprisals and then
intrastate trade suffers fundamentally.
Within a few days it is anticipated a bill
will be introduced at Tallahassee by the
Florida brewers which will provide for a
reduction in the state tax on beer bottled
in Florida by brewers and bottlers of beer,
of cents case, leaving the tax on out-of-
state beers at its present figure of 81 cents
the case. This is purely a discriminatory
measure and should be protested by every
citizen of Florida who is against retalia-
ton. Florida brewers are not prevented
from doing business in other states, why
should we have legislative acts that will
result in kickbacks to the detriment of the
industry. Senator Ward and Representa-
tive Papy have been urged to cast their
votes against this discriminatory measure
and may be depended upon to do what is
right

SMOKED OUT

There are all kinds of cigars on the
market, the kind that you buy and the
kind that somebody doesn't want and gives
away. We have smelled all kinds, in our
day, some whose aroma is good and some
that left us with a slight nausea. Smoke
from cigars is often aggravating when
there is too much of it and especially in
closed rooms When giving away your
next Christmas cigars consider the recent
accident caused when man lost control of
his auto and backed into police car. Up
on arrest it was found he was intoxicated
with cigar smoke Seems he hadn't smoked
since the World War. On the day of the
accident he had toothaehe, drank bot
tie of beer and smoked cigar, which
made him dizzy. The result was the ac-
cident and the arrest The doctor who
examined him said he was drunk on cigar
smokei Readers in Key West may won-
der if it might not have been the beer, and
then there are others who can recall GER
tain cigars that would max an entire army
smoke-drunk. But bear this incident in
mind when you make out your Xmas shop
ping list next December!

April 18, 1899.

The Hon. Franklin D.
Roosevelt,
The White House,
Washington, D. G.
My dear Mr.. President:
For Americans who want
peace, and hold in mind the I'M
fortunate consequences of this
country's participation in the
World War, your statement at
Warm Springs on Easter day, to-
gether with your press confer
ence at Washington on the fol-
lowing Tuesday, April 18th, give
rise to questions of a most serious
character.
AS we review these statements,
and others made by you during
the last eighteen months, it be-
comes more and more clear that
you are following course SINH
lar to that taken by President
Wilson, in the period prior to
April 6, 1917, namely, that of
leading America not toward
peace, but into armed conflict in
Europe.
The plain truth is that, since
your speech in Chicago on Octo-
Der 5, 1887, describing certain
nations as diseased, and threaten
to quarantine them, and up to
your press conference of April
| 11th-when you approved and
made your own an editorial In a
Washington paper, stating that,
if war starts in Europe, the pro-
lection of American interests will
make our participation in it a
virtual certainty"-you have
evidenced a willingness, if not an
eagernesS, to involve this coun-
try in war.
In essence, your Warm Springs
and Washington statements have
informed Europe that, if the die
tators attack England or France,
the United States will attack
them-and not merely by eco
nomic sanctions, but by throw
ing into the balance the military
power of America. And pre-
cisely this is the Interpretation
that has been given these state
mentS in every part of the world.
Next comes your speech to the
republics of the western world on
April 18th. Here once more,
threatening the European ag-
gressorS, you promise to match
force with force. And you say
that, in case of attack, II pledge
that my own country will also
give economic support. :. :" As we
read your statements and note
their War.hke tenor and excited
tone, we might well conclude that
the Capitol is now being bomb
ed, and the Huns setting fire to
the White House.
Thus, without consent of our
people, and with no authority
from Congress that alone, under
our form of government, has
power to decide the issue of war
or peace, you have reckIessly
placed America in a false and
dangerous position in which, if
war breaks out in Europe. we
viii either have TO fight or be
charged with breaking faith
Mr.. President, IN view of the
foregoing, and much more that
cannot be set down in this letter,
it seems permissible 20 ask: On
what theory does a public serv-
ant. elected by popular vote in a
democratic nation, assume die
tator's power to throw his people
into war against the dictators?
And by what right are you. with
a gun on one shoulder and a
chip on the other, marching to-
ward war and representing that
America is ready to fight at the
drop of a hat?

mocracies- They are obviously

ping supplies to belligerents. And
in no case has this resulted in
war declarations. Russia has
been supplying China, though
Japanese and Russian armies are
separated only by the Manchuri-
an line.
Germany and the United States
have also been selling war ma
terials to China, while in 1887 the
United States sent a million and
a half bales of cotton TO Japan.
and 10000 in 1888, to say moth
ing of oil and scrap iron. England
and France have been supplying
loyalist Spain. And even the
bombing of British ships by
Francois planes did not precipi-
tate war. All of which demon
strates that a cash and carry poll
cy, in which we sell to anyone
but deliver to none, need not lead
to war.
Whether the assurances you are
giving the allies, that we viii
fight if they do, are bluffing the
dictators into a settlement, or, on
the other hand, are making set
tlement less likely, is a question
that is hard to answer. For we
do not know to what extent these
assurances are stiffening the at
titude of the allies and making
them unwilling TO grant conces-
sions to the have-not nations that
win save the face of the dicta-
tors and render peace, especially
a lasting peace, more probable
In any event, in making these
unauthorized assurances, you are
gambling with the lives and wei
fare of the people.
In closing, MIR. President, let
me expressed the opinion to you,
and to any who believe that your
war policy is popular, or that il
will tend to keep your admins
tration in power, that, whatever
may be going on abroad, the
American people are unwilling to
have you speak for them as a die
tator on the questions of war and
peace. That is an ultimate and
perilous extension of power
which, believe, all true Ameri-
cans resent.
By your Court Bill you at
tempted to gain control Of the
Supreme Court and its decisions
on the constitutionality of acts Of
Congress. BY your original
wages and hours bill, not the one
which was passed, you tried TO
gain a dictator's discretionary
power over conditions Of labor
and the costs of production. BY
the original White House draft
of the Reorganization bin, you
sought to elothe yourself with
authority to annul congressional
legislation by destroying or con-
trolling the agencies set up by
Congress to carry its laws into
effect.
Today you are committing
yourself to a further and even
rrsnrF, Serios1S executive 1lSaTrua-
ton For, without benefit of en-
aiding legislation, and against the
viii Of your country, you are
seizing a power denied you by
the Constitution, that is to say,
the power of one man. TO commit
a whole people to war.
Very truly yours.
