IT was probably not any reflection
of current world affairs, but in
February, 1899, the popular Turkish
room and Turkish corner were
being superseded in American homes
by Indian corners and rooms. Snow
shoes were extremely popular items
of decor. Also most effective in
planning such household retreats
were bows and arrows, colorful
pottery, gay Navajo blankets and
baskets, strings of crab claws fes-
lively strung, and the like.
You must have often despaired
(?) of getting your lace that de-
lightfully dingy, yet clean color
which you see in shops. The solu-
ton? Make some very weak tea,
add few drops of India ink.
Present lace. Dip.
Candied cherries, in great de-
mand as bonbons, were equally ex-
pensive in February, 1899. An
approved imitation at one-tenth the
cost of the original was the ever
useful cranberry, sprinkled with
sugar, boiled and dried.
Chinese dishes were rapidly gain
ing In favor in New York.
Also the use of screens to hide
Objectionable objects, to block
draughts and as ornamentation
And February fad was the COL
lection of oil lamps.
In France, where both the sewing
machine and the typewriter were
considered lower on the polite
scale than hand sewing and hand
writing, no woman would think of
having her dainty lingerie made on
the sewing machine. For she knew
well that the merciless needle of
the sewing machine made thin
materials liable to give away
wherever it had punctured them.

Another way to cook liver, for Mrs.
F. j. S. Grease a shallow pan with
bacon fat. A glass pie plate is good
for small family as it can be used
for serving. Lay slices Of liver close
together on pan, dust rather thickly
with -four and add salt and pepper.
Then lay slices of bacon over the
liver. and bake in a very slow oven.
300 to 1926 degrees, for y hour, or
little less for calf's liver.
If Mrs. J. c. H. can send some one
to dig them, shall be glad to give her
well-rooted clematis vines, the ones
with white sweet-scented flowers
late in the summer.
The tiny brown beetle" Mrs. P. S.
found in her food boxes sounds like
weevils, very annoying pest. have
had two bouts with them, the first
was over 20 years ago and lasted
several weeks, the second was last
fall and I conquered them in few
days, thanks to DDT. ! removed
all infested packages and put in the
garbage. Unopened packages I ex-
amined and II no weevils were evi-
dent CD put the packages in a
cupboard on the back porch, an iso-
lation ward, so to speak. There is
on the market a DDT package which
has a built-in duster, with this I
gently blew the dust into all corners
and cracks of the cupboards, also
left little on the surface of the
shelves, then replaced the old papers
and waited developments. The wee
wills came out of hiding walked over
the DDT dust and died A few days
later I cleaned everything out of the
cupboards, being very careful that
none of the DDT came in contact
with any food containers, and have
had no trouble since. Success de-
pends on being prompt, thorough,
and ruthless. Be sure to wash all
canisters, glass jars, ETC., in which
food Is stored as the eggs may be
left in them and will hatch later.
DANDELION WINE?
BLACK WALNUTS?
(Fron, Mrs. C. A. D., DillUyn.)
/ Have read the Clearing House
since it began and was "sorta" lost
without it when we moved from
Washington. However, with sub
scription to The Star now enjoy
1t once more.
Have never sent in requesting
information as some one asks the
questions I have on my mind SOON
er or later However, last year I
tried to find a recipe for dandelion
wine but met with very little sue
cess. I have one that calls for
yeast and I want to make some
without the use OF yeast if possible.
Would also like directions for black
berry wine or cordial the sweet
sirupy kind.
Where we are now living we have
a black walnut tree. Can any one
suggest some recipes using the black
walnut?
In closing I'd like to thank all of
the ladies who contribute to the

TRUE ATTITUDE OF PUBLIC
TOWARD COMMUNITY CHEST
WILL BE POLLED LOCALLY

would you rather give to one
Embarrassing drive each year in
which money for all causes were
collected or would you prefer
that each campaign be conducted
separately SO that you can Judge
each one on its own merits?"
Milburn stated the poll-takers
will try to find out what people
actually know about the Chest the
number and types of services money
is used for, and how many of the
persons approached have had the
benefits of the Red Feather agency
programs.
Opinions also will be sought con-
corning the services deemed most
essential and on the matter of
whether certain services should not
be included
Those polled will be questioned
regarding their own Chest contri-
buttons, what they consider is a
reasonable amount to give, and
whether or not they feel they were
forced to subscribe.
Milburn- stressed that favorable as
well as unfavorable reactions toward
the Community Chest will be noted
on the ground that the Chest can
only be as useful as all the people
help to make it.

A PROMISING SOLUTION

How often doctors have heard the
following words of the less well-to-
do uninsured patient once on The
road to convalescence: IT think III
get along all right now, doctor" -
meaning that the family wished TO
be spared further fees. How many OF
the readers can answer affirmatively
to the following question: IF a
really serious illness strikes yom
home tomorrow, can you afford it?'
Did you know that on the average
one OF every three persons at some
time during a normal year will De
sick at least once?
Very few of US are wealthy 1t
has been estimated that about half
of the population in this country
live in families that must get by on
$50 week or less. Such income
hardly facilitates security in the
case of illnesses; sickness to them
may mean merely a minor incon-
venience or a shattering disaster
The National Health Insurance
program looks like promising solu-
ton. However, when people start
talking of "nationalized health
they Immediately tend to conjure
up pictures of hordes of officials
exercising detailed control of every
aspect of the service from Washing
ton. British parliament member,
Donald w. T. Bruce says of Britain's
experiment, Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth. Some 10000
voluntary workers are helping to
run the Service throughout the
country by serving on Regional Hos
pital Boards, on Hospital Manage
ment Committees, and on the local
Executive Councils which are res
ponsible for administering the fam
lily doctor, dental, pharmaceutical
and supplementary eye service"
Oscar Ewing, Federal Security
Administrator, says: Let me en-
phasize that national health insur-
ance merely changes the method OF
paying for medical services. 1t does
not change in any way the profess
sional relationship between you and
your doctor. 1t would definitely i'm
prove the quality of medical care
for the country as whole.
You would be free to call youl
doctor at the first sign of sickness:
when your doctors work is easiest
and most helpful to you. With more
doctors. dentists, nurses, hospitals
more of us will be able to get thu
same high quality of care that /.
now available chiefly to the well-to
do in large cities.
How will national health insur
ance work for you? If you are AZ
insured worker, or member of hi
family, all you will have to do whel
you become sick is to get in touci

rights in American history, y

Subsequently, Masaoka filed for

Identical bills, ii. r. 1882 and

TAFT BERATES LABOR

Ia ii wrong for workers to organize political education groups

ator clubs?
Sen. Robert A. Taft (R, Ohio apparently thinks 50.
ls,t "dictatorial' to ask trade unionSs to contribute to po-
liucal action funds, but democracy at work when reaction
aries collect money to re-elect Taft?
The Senator seems to think so.
Another question.
Is it shocking" when workers finance newspapers and
radio programs to present the facts about Iatts record? But
is i okay for Taft to write a weekly column tor - news
papers and broadcast a program each week over ~ stahons'
That's the way Taft looks at things.
Neplecting his duties in Washington in order to open his
1850 election campaign. Taft has been talking about the
menace of political education and action on the part oil labor

fund that is expected to total S million. RE writes a weekly
column. He also prepares a radio program each week.
What's the difference?
Taft is doing exactly what the workers OF Ohio are doing
He is using every possible political tactic to get reelected And
labor is utilizing the same types OF measures to defeat him..
No one maintains that Taft shoudn try to get e-elected-
That's his privilege. But many persons wonder why Taft
berates his opposition for presenting its views. Labor IS Just
exercising its democratic right. You don object to that, do
you, Senator?
