GOING A LONG WAYS:The business men of Indiana; that is the men who really want business to be good, should be made acquainted with the methods now being practiced by the republican state committee, to bring about depression. The state chairman of that com mittee has sent a letter to the county chairman asking that they make care i'ul investigation into every industry that is closed or only working part o the time and make prompt report. Th< latter does not ask for actual, condi tions. for crop reports or for the gen eral business situation, but it wants t< collect all the diseased business carcasses it can find and try to raise a stink with them In the business wor't! We submit this action of the repub-1 lican state chairman to the fair-mind- i ed business men of the state. This chairman would depress business, I would bring on a panic, would ruin ' your business or go to any other < x-1 treme in order to gain a little bust I ness advantage. He is in desperate straits politically and would sell the business soul of Indiana for a mess of political pottage.—Newcastle Times. The Herald makes the startling an nouncement that the reason the trac tinn line did not sell Monday was lie cause of the Wilson administration. The old crowd of owners tried for sev eral years under the Roosevelt and Taft administration to secure enough financial becking to build the line southward and failing were finally forced into the hands of a receiver. It the Wilson administration is to blame we tail to see just why the two pre decessors in the presidential chair should not come in for their share, ('al amity howler is right. The claim Is made that two years ago the road could easily have been disposed of or financed in any way desired. Well it wasn't.

GOOD PLAIN PLUM PUDDING Favorite Dessert That Is Not Too Rlclt for the Stomachs of Young Children. Have some water In a kettle or dish already boiling and make a stiff paste with the following ingredients: One quarter pound each of fine chopped snot, dried currants and rnfslns, one pint wheat flour, one-half teacup broad crumbs, one well beaten egg. one-halt t< aspoon cinnamon, one-quarter teaspoon table salt and a little cold water. It is well to mix suet, salt and flour together before adding other ingredl ents. Spread a piece of clean, white cetton cloth about 12 Inches square on a bread or kneading board and flour It and dredge cloth quite plentifully with fl< ur and tie with a strong, white cot ton string. This prepared, lower it carefully into the boiling water and k, ep it boiling steadily for fully 2H hours Serve with hard or liquid sauce whichever is liked best. There should be a rest of some sort at bottom of kettle or dish so that pudding bag will not rest on or touch bottom of dish while pudding Is boiling. To make provision for this we prefer a small flat rack made of small, smooth, narrow pieces of wood joined together with wooden pegs, thoroughly cleansed so as to prevent taste of wood After pudding has boiled the required time remove while water is still boiling, before removing kettle or dish from fire PAPER TOWELS AND NAPKINS No Objection to Their Use When There Is a Temporary Shortness of the Linen Articles. Many particular housekeepers with | large families are often temporaryy inconvenienced by finding the supply Os towels and table napkins has given out before the laundry comes in. They would be greatly pleased with tho result, besides the wear and tear on the linen being leavened, by re-enforclug the supply with the paper towel. Rolls of paper towels placed in the nathroom for the hands of the school children, who usually make sail havoc of the white towel, are very practical helps. A roll could also be placed tn tho nursery to wipe smeary little hands and faces. A roll could be ; used in the kitchen to replace the ; roller towel. A paper napkin looks very well on the table tray as a substitute for the linen napktn. Slight Flavors Chang* Dishes. Many of the simplest dishes may be greatly changed in flavor If a little attention Is given to the matter of searontng. Those who have not tried it diould use a little nutmeg for season • when next sen ing spinach. Just i few coriander seeds will glorify the ! Ilsh of beets, t’se a sprinkling of crated cheese with creamed cauliflower. It is delicious Drop two or hree cfoves into the vegetable sonp ind see how the flavor of the various vegetables la, accentuated and yet blended. Curry powder too often Is ■onfined to the sauce served with itlcken. Tse a shaking or two with Brussels sprouts Pimentos may be ised to advantage not only In salads tnd In preparing sandwiches or can ipes, but the cook who discovered that I hey give a seat to the oyster soup de- | terves the thanks of every epicure. I Simple Cleaner for Silver. Put two teaspoonfula of precipitated thtilk in a bowl and moisten with -nough ammonia to make a smooth, ihfck cream.
