THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

We are supporting President Wilson above all because it is our patriotic duty to do so. We are supporting President Wilson because during his administrations more legislation has been enacted for the benefit of working people than during all previous administrations since our government was founded. We are supporting President Wilson because he stands for humanity, equality and justice. We are supporting Pres; u,t Wilson because of the fine sense of justice be has shown in handling the complex labor problems involved in the prosecution of the war. We are supporting President Wilson because the policy of his administration in the enactment of laws and in the handling of labor problems has been to recognize, for the first time, the cardinal principles for which labor has contended for many years. We are supporting the candidates of President Wilson’s party because in the past his party has faithfully followed his leadership and we believe that the candidates of his party can best be depended upon to follow his leadership in the settlement of the problems to come. j We are supporting the candidates of his party because we believe the defeat of his party at the polls would give aid and comfort to the German Kaiser and his followers. Lastly, we are supporting the President an.d his party because by doing so we can best show our confidence in the President and our appreciation of his administration.

war to “put the kitchen on the map" —of the world. Mothers are now seeing to it that their daughters shall learn how to market and cook with intelligence and economy. A Simmons College girl said, the other day: “During the summer I was employed by a private family to teach the four daughters, aged thirteen, fifteen, seventeen and eighteen, housekeeping, with emphasis on cookery. The meals were prepared entirely by the girls, there being no cook. We tried to keep strictly to the requests of the food administration.” The efTect of war-time conservation on American housekeeping will he felt for at least a generation to come. You can’t eat a cookie or a sardine, nowadays, or cook an apple pie, and escape the international consequences. The war, at last, has given us the correct perspective bn food and kitchens and housekeeping.
