"1 hereby declare myself openly to be a loyal American citizen and have in my opinion been loyal to this day to my adopted country ever since I took-out my naturalizatin papers at the age of 21. "1 denounce the charge that I am pro-German, having1 no relation with that country whatever. not even relatives that 1 know of, nor any correspondence with any one there. "On the ground of the charges a jalnst me, that I . have not taken any Läberty bonds, nor contributed to the War Chest, I can truthfully say that at present I have no money to dispose of, but debts which I am trying to j.ay. "On the ground of the charges against me that I have not included a patriotic sermon in my last Sunday's services, nor made announcement from the puipu to encourage the third Liberty loan, I can also truthfully say, that up to this time I was under the impression, that a minister of the gospel could preach according to the dictation of his conscience under the protection ot the government, unless the government makes restrictions, or makes certain requests lawful. , "However, if the contribution to the Liberty loan or War Chest becomes a necessity in order to prove ones loyalty. I am sure the whole congregation "will help me to make such contribution. If certain requests from the civic authority must necessarily be announced from the pulpit, in order to prove ones patriotism I shall do s-o in the future. PvFA. HUGO WHICH K LT.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

by Adele now m!x;i: tkii:i to hamsh KATIirs STKAXfii: OI.I). WOHL! SI I'FH.STITION. I did not know whether to be angry at Katie or sorry for her, when she told me that she must leave my service if Dicky's mother came, because fche did riot dare to Jdeep in the house with an old woman. Katie evidently knew what she was talking about, but I confessed to myself that I was thoroughly bewildered. J have had many curious experiences with the mental twists of alien girls of Katie's class, bvt this was something new. "What do j on mean. Katie ?" I asked, finally. "What harm can it possibly do you to slevp in ibe house with an old woman?" Katie shuddered visibly. "Oh Missis Graham. don't you know old women dem turn into witches, make charms oer you. next morning you all dead? I no sleep in house with my own mudder when she get old." "Katie, you are talking' the most ridiculous nonsense," I said sharply, for I was not only annoyed, but alarmed at the gross ignorance and superstitution the girl displayed. A person holding such ideas as hers was really undesirable in one's home. "You no tink dot?" Katie queried anxiously. "Of course not." I returned. "Neither does anybody eise who has any common sense. Wherever did you pick up such foolish ideas?" "Ixts of girls and women in my town say so." Katie returned sullenly. I had a sudden inspiration. "Listen to me. Katie." I said firmly, trying to choose words which she would understand. "Who were the biggest men in your town. the smartest, the oiks the rest of the people tried to be like?" Katie looked at me as if she thought I hf.d suddenly gone insane. "Why, the priest and the doctor and the " "You don't need to tell me any more." J interrupted her. "Did your priest or your doctor ever tell you old women turned into witches?" "No-o." The admission came from her reluctantly. I knew the power of these old-world superstitions and resolved to say no, more about the matter for a while. "We will talk more about this later, Katie," 1 said calmly. '"Just now I want to speak to you about The Housewife's ItlWSONS lOll HAI COOKING. Before rondemnlng any housewife 0- professional cook for lack of skill in the culinary art it is only fair that youf-hould examine and lind tut to what the badness of the cooking is due. There are various sorU of had cooking not all due to the Suine conditions. You cannot mend the bad cooking without first mending the causes. Perhaps you are the 1- ad cook. Well, then, first of all find out why. That is the first step toward things. There always have been a good many women who have cooked vretchedly because they didn't think cooking was worth their best fflort. They were women who felt that to belong to a Browning club was far more inspiring than to be allowed to direct the food problems of their families. They were the women who sighed for a career without any special gift that would oer make a career possible. They fflt that they had been sidetracked from their higher destiny when th-y were placed in life in a position v here cooking was necessary. Of course they c'.id not realize that the woman who is really born for a career other than tha; of housewifery will somehow pet it in spite 01 domestic duties. Harriet Bescher Stowe, you know, had a house full of children and as many household cares as any woman now-a-days. yet she did manage to write t'nclo Tom's Cahin and she w rote it. too, without feeling that the housework she had to do was at all beneath her. So much for that type ot housewife. There are not so many o them now as there were.

The plan was susseste-I by Gen.

I getting the apartment in perfect or- , der so w hen Mrs. Graham comes she will think I have had a good lit tle housekeeper. Katie smiled brightly. "I feex so-o nice," ?he aid heartily. "Vat you want me to clean first?" WHAT WILL DICKY SAY? "Let's take all the corners and closets first," I suggested. I had all the horror of the average young housekeeper for the criticism of an older woman. "Take everything off the pantry shelves" I indkated the tiny closet which was just big enough for our small ice box. with a set of shelves and drawers opposite "and everything out of the drawers. Then wush and dry the shelves and drawers thoroughly. When you get ready to put the things back, (call me. There may be some things II will want to throw away, or some thing I need to buy." "All right. Missis Graham, I feex." The cheery, familiar phrase fidlowed me back to the living room. i I sank into my big armchair trou bled and bewildered. . What I should do without Katie I j did not know. She had been with i me only a short time, but she was j so efficient, so cherry, so willing, I that housekeeping had been an easy jtask for her. I dreaded unutterably 'cither trying the housework myself or breaking in a new maid under the critical eye of Dicky's mother. I wondered what Dicky would say to Katie s defection. lie had insisted upon my keeping her because she was the model he wished of a picture entitled "Poland," which lie had begun years before, when Katie had done the housework for a bachlor apartment which Dickv shared i (with three other artists. I knew' that Katie looked up to Dicky as to some supreme being.' Perhaps he could te able to reason her out of her superstition. If he came home to lunch I resolved to tell him about Katie's resolve. In the meantime there was much I that I must do to prepare for the ; addition of Dicky's mother to our household. I walked into my bedroom and surveyed it sadly. Of course I had not possessed it long enough to become much at tached to it. but I had enjoyed its pretty appointments immensely, and I was shamefacedly conscious of the fact that I did not want to give it up to my mother-in-law. However, there was nothing else to be done, j so. sitting down in the low rocker I beside my bed, I began to plan the rearrangement of my belongings. Economy Calendar conservation has made almost every woman realize that good cooking and good food management are about as worth while as anything. Then there are cooks who are unsuccessful because they themselves lack a sense of culinary appreciation. Owing usually to ill health they have lost the edge of their own appetite. Therefore they cannot tell whether what they make is good or not. Nothing looks very good to them, therefore ' they cease to mako an effort. Well, such women ought really to have a little vacation. They ought to fro away somewhere where they won t have to do any food preparation for a month. They wi.l cook better as a result. There are some people that cook very badly for no other reason in the world than because they can't see well. Old women who havu been good cooks in their day are often in this class. Their eye failing has come on gradually and they won't realize it is the cause of their trouble. But it hinders them from measuring accurately or mixing properly. What they need Is corlected eye-sight. Get them good spectacles and they will cook much better. Ignorance of the principles of cookery keeps many people back. There are some "born" cooks who don't seem to have to know anything scientifically about it. But the rank, and hie of folk- must understand the science of the latter before they can give good results. For this reason it is always worth while for ev?ry girl who is going to be a home maker to take a course in cookery where she will learn ths scientific principles underlying all the important processes of cookery.
