WELCOMED BY MEN WHO
SMOKE
Particular men who smoke realize
how offensive to people of refinement
is a strong tobacco breath , and how
objectionable to themselves is that
"dark brown taste" in the mouth
after smoking.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is worth
its weight in gold for this purpose
alone. Just a little in a glass of water
rinse the mouth and brush the teeth.
The mouth Is thoroughly deodorized ,
the breath becomes pure and sweet
and a delightful sense of mouth clean
liness replaces that dark brown to
bacco taste.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics and Peroxide for all toilet
and hygienic uses and may be obtain

HINTS FOR THE COOK
RIGHT AND WRONG WAYS OF PRE
PARING MEAT.
'Simmering" and "Boiling" Are Differ ,
ent Things Steaming Excellent
for Cooking Large Joints-
Braising Pan Useful.
The ordinary housewife rarely un
derstands the meaning of the words
"boll" and "simmer. " Water bolls at
sea level at 212 degrees Fahrenheit ;
at high altitudes it boils at lower tem
perature. We find by experience that
meat becomes tender more quickly at
simmering point a temperature of
180 degrees than when It is boiled
at 212 degrees. Simmering is when
the bubbles form on the bottom of
the vessel , safely pass through the
water and rupture at the top , says the
Christian Science Monitor. This is
not the boiling motion. To have a piece
of boiled meat rare , juicy and tasty
the outside must be thoroughly sealed ,
the same as in baking. To do this ,
put the meat into boiling water , bring
quickly to the boiling point , boil for
20 minutes , then push the kettle back
where the meat will simmer 15 min
utes to each pound. If the meat is
to be served rare 12 minutes will be
long enough ; on the other hand , if
it Is to be well done , cook It 20 min
utes to the pound. Even when well
done it should be juicy , tender and
palatable.
Boiled meats are more easily di
gested than baked meats , even when
baked meats are carefully cooked.
Broiled meats are preferable to those
cooked in a dry pan , and dry-panned
meats are far superior to those fried ;
In fact , fried meats have no place at
a well-regulated table.
Steaming is an admirable method of
cooking tough meats , or large joints
like a leg of mutton or a ham. This
may be done In a common boiler ,
using sufficient water to create a good
volume of steam. Place the meat In
the boiler , on a rack , above the water.
As the water evaporates replace It
with boiling water. Do not check the
boiling or you reduce the heat and
soften the surface of the meat
Braising is a cross between baking
and boiling. This method is largely
used for tough meats. A braising pan
is a baking pan with a tight-fitting
cover. These pans are sold under the
astonishing name of "roasting pans ; "
roasting means to cook before a fire ;
you cannot roast in a covered pan.
These pans are , notwithstanding
their Illogical name , admirable uten-
Blls in which to cook frlcandeau of
veal , beef a la mode , leg of mutton ,
braised beef , or an old turkey or
fowl. Place the meat in the pan and
partly flll the pan with boiling stocker
or wa4er ; add , if you like , a sliced
onion , a bay leaf and a little chopped
celery. Cover the pan , stand in a very
hot oven and bake for three or four
hours , according to the size and the
kind U meat. A leg of mutton will
require two ; beef a la mode four , and
fricandeau of veal three hours. Veal ,
to be at all edible , must be very well
cooked.
Nut Bread.
up one egg and beat into it
one-quarter of a cupful of sugar ; add
one teaspoonful of salt and two cupfuls -
fuls Of milk. Mix four teaspoonfuls of
baking powder with four cupfuls of
flour and sift this into the other in
gredients , adding at the same time
one cupful of chopped nuts. Stir these
all together until smooth and then
make into two loaves ; let them rise in
pans for 20 minutes and then bake for
20 minutes in a hot oven. Harper's
Bazar.
Second Serving.
Instead of serving roast beef on its
second appearance cold , prepare it as
follows : Lay the slices of cold beef in
a dressing made of a saltspoonful of
white pepper , twice as much salt , two
tablespoonfuls of vinegar and three
tablespoonfuls of olive oil. Mix well
and pour over the beef. Leave for an
hour , then drain each slice , dip into a
thick fritter batter and fry in deep fat
to a golden brown. Serve very hot.
Little Economy.
There is nothing so small that you
cannot save money on it. Make your
pillow cases , for instance , of tubing.
Then when they begin to get thin in
the middle , you can rip the closed end
and sew them again so that the
creaseS edge of the pillow casewill be
now th'e middle of the flat side. The
worn places are thus brought to the
outer edge , where there is practically
no wear upon them.
Flour Starch.
Mix first with cold water the flour.
Then pour on gradually boiling water
and boil till clear. Strain through
cloth. Add bluing. For table linen
add few tablespoons to rinse water.
Clothes keep stiff longer and more sat

SEE TARIFF AS TAX
PEOPLE ARE BEING AROUSED TO
THE SITUATION.
Idea That It Is a Road to Wealth LosIng -
Ing Ground Artificial Prices
Never Can Make a Nation
Richer.
It is apparent that there has been a
gradual change in the point of view
concerning the tariff as one of the
results of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
Even up to the adoption of the Repub
lican tariff plank we doubt if the
knowledge that the tariff is a tax had
penetrated very deeply. Possibly that
plank had something to do with the
dawning of the real understanding of
the case ; for with its provision for
a reasonable profit besides the amount
necessary to pay the difference In
wages and conditions of production
not much thought was necessary to
reach the conclusion that all this ap
portionment had to be made up out of
the tariff ; In fact , It was specifically
BO stated. That being the case , the
deduction must follow that the tariff
is a tax an additional sum laid on
the world price of an article , which
the consumers of this country had to
pay. Of course this has been plain
as a theory for years , even in the days
when the protectionists were assuring
the country that "the foreigner paid
the tax. " But one may know a thing
theoretically without getting It home
to "men's business and bosoms , " to
use Bacon's telling phrase.
Now it seems to us that this well-
known fact Is thus getting home. People
ple are less confused over the tariff
than ever they were. They have
seemingly lost or are losing the dream
that it Is a road to wealth. They are
coming to understand that while you
can make one man or one set of men
wealthier by taxing a whole country
In artificial prices you can not make
a nation wealthier by taxing it. An
aid to this visiqn , perhaps , was the
era of high prices which the exac
tions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
helped to sustain. At all events the
vision has become clearer. Some
amusing illustrations are In point.
The Fruit Importers' union of New
York has its agents stencil each box
of lemons coming to its docks from
abroad thus :
"If lemons were free this box would
cost you $1.25. The tariff is squeez
ing me ; revise the tariff and get me
cheaper. The tariff is making me sour
on the United States. "
The Denver News hails this as an
extremely effective way of getting at
the root of the matter , and It would
like to see it tried all along the line.
It suggests , for example , that every
pair of rubber boots be marked :
"Of course we come high , but we have
to support the Aldrich family. " Shoddy
blankets it would mark , "good enough
for poor folks while the tariff lasts ; "
ani every suit of wool underwear it
would have marked : "Wool Is pro
tected whether children are or not"
We think that this incident may be
fairly regarded as remarkable. When
things get thus to "men's business
and bosoms" It shows that self-delu
sion Is falling away. It shows that
sham and fraud are becoming known
for what they are , and that for what
they are getting the people are com
ing to realize that part of the price
is tariff and a part of It is for the
goods. Indianapolis News.
For Success in 1912.

AS the Democratic speaker says ,
Democrats cannot hurt business with
out hurting themselves. They must
gain the confidence of the country and
encourage the turning of the wheels
of Industry if they would be intrust
ed with the affairs of the nation the a
ensuing four years. In a word , the
Democratic party , as in Tilden's time ,
must stand for Retrenchment and Re
form , not free trade and Socialistic
legislation , if it would make 1912 its
Banner Year of Viclory.
WASTING THE PUBLIC FUNDS
Senator Aldrich's Monetary Commis
sion | 8 Altogether Too Lavish In
Its Expenditures.
Some months ago Senator Aldrich
asserted that $300,000,000 a year
could be lopped from the expenses of
the United States government by prop
er management of Its affairs. The as
sertion doubtless overshot the mark.
Mr. Aldrich , if given the opportunity ,
might undertake to save in ways that
would prove to be short-sighted econ
omy in the end. Probably one of the
first reductions made by him would be
in appropriations for the work of
bodiee like the interstate commerce
commission , which effect large savings
for the public by protecting them
against extortions by various trans
portation companies. Still , it cannot
be denied that immense economies
could be brought about by proper man
agement of Bublic business.
When put to the test , however , Sen
ator Aldrich does not himself practice
what he preaches. The monetary
commission , of which he has been
chairman from the time of its organi
zation , has been one of the most
wasteful bodies of its kind In the his
tory of the nation. Its expenditures
amount thus far to about $200,000 ,
and more funds are wanted by it.
Congress , fortunately , seems disposed
to put an end to the unreasonable ex
penditures of this body.
The commission has done much
good work. It has collected a large
mass of useful material. But the ex
penditures are out of all proportion to
the work accomplished. Further , It
has become a snug harbor for derelict
or superannuated statesmen. It is a
half-way house on the road to obliv
ion for a weird assortment of political
reminiscences. A few experts have
performed the useful labors of the
commission , while its pay rolls have
been loaded down with the names of
unornamental figureheads in the
shape of defeated ex-senators and ex-
representatives. These latter worth
ies havp done little in return for their
salaries and for the large sums of
money expended by them in traveling
and other expenses. Fifty thousand
dollars at the outside should have
sufficed for all the proper expenses of
carrying on such an inquiry as the Al
drich monetary commission was ex
pected to make.
There is a worse aspect to this mat
ter thaa the mere waste of public
funds which it Involves. The effect
of spectacles such as the one afforded
by the monetary commission is to dis
credit expert Inquiries in the eyes of
American people. This is particularly
unfortunate , in view of the growing
need for such inquiries In Important
governmental affairs.
Is He Lumber's Senator ?
Who" spent the money that " "was
used in procuring the election of Wil
liam Lorimer of Illinois to the United
States senate- That money was
spent , that members of the legisla
ture wefe paid to vote for Chicago's
"bond fcoss , " has been admitted by
even such passionate defenders of the
beneficiary of the "jack pot" as Sena
tor Bailey of Texas. Nobody attempts
to deny that bribery and corruption
were among the influences brought
to bear in Lorlmer's behalf. The
only question in that connection is as
to the amount , whether it was $100-
000 , as testified before the legislative
Investigating committee In Spring
field , or something loss. Who raised
the money. " Philadelphia Press.
Wisdom of the South.
The growing conservatism of the
south is full of promise for the repub
lic and the Democratic party. The
radicalism dominant for so many years
IP disappearing gradually ; among its
leaders there are fewer demagogues
and more statesmen than there were
few years ago. With the growth of
industrialism and wealth , the south
realizes that moderation and stability
are better for its prosperity that cease
less agitation and wildcat doctrines. It
Is weary of the perpetual preaching
of the Gosnel of Unrest. Exchange.
Clean Sanitary Floors.
Varnish , which Is commonly regard
ed only as a beautifier , Is an efficient
sanitary agent. Varnished surfaces can
be cleaned by wiping , and the microbe-
laden dust Is thus kept out of the air.
A varnished floor is therefore not only
up to date , beautiful and easily clean
ed , but is wholesome. The National
Association of Varnish Manufacturers ,
636 The Bourse , Philadelphia , Penn. ,
are distributing free a booklet entitled
"Modern Floors , " which tells how
floors may be made and kept whole
some and attractive. Send for one.
Varnish is cheaper than carpet and
far more satisfactory.
