NEARLY 1,000 BILLS
BEFORE LEGISLATURE:
Wednesday First Day That No
Measure Was Offered Criti
cising the Railroads.
Topeka, Jan. 20, Nearly 1,000
bills are now before the two
houses of the legislature besides
a number of joint and concurrent
resolutions. The list in the sen
ate went above 400 at today's ses
sion while in the house more than
500 have been introduced.
Yesterday was the first time no
bill relating to railroads was in
troduced and but one bill relating
to railroads was introduced in the
senate. So the siembers must
have decided that if all the bills
now before the legislature relat
ing to railroads are passed, those
corporations will be sufficiently
reformed.
Next to the railroads, the ex
press companies are coming in
for the most attention. The insur
ance business and telegraphs and
telephones also are coming in for
their share of attention.

GLEANINGS FROM COOK BOOK
Knowledge of How to Do Certain
Things Will Save Housekeeper
Much Trouble.
Just a suggestion of how to do cer
tain things will often be the means of
savin? the housekeeper a great deal of
trouble. Here are a few gleaning!
from a famous cook book which may
prove int'jreti:.g n some reader.
To cut cheese smoothly, fold paraf
fin l'itners over the knife Hade.
When making onulet3 allow one ta
blespoonful of crtam or hot water for
each egg.
One cupful of sugar will swreten
one quart of any mixture which is to
bo served cold or frozen.
New sweet potatoes will not be so
hard and dry if rubbed with butter be
fore baking.
When the white of an egg is beaten
to a froth and added to the cream It
will whip more quickly and easily.
After cooking cabbage add to it, just
before serving, one small half cupful
of thick sour cream. This is much
better than vinegar.
When currant bread has been baked,
if it be wrapped in a damp cloth for a
few days it will not crumble when cut
ting, and It will not be dry.
The flavoring of shrimps is improved
If boiling water is poured over them a
short time before they are served. It
must be drained away immediately.
Housewifely Hints.
Now is the time to hang fresh bags
of lavender in one's wardrobe and lay
it plentifully among personal and
household linen. Tiny sachets of it
sewn into one's garments not only
exude a delicious fragrance wherever
one moves, bujt are an excellent pre
ventive of infection. Lavender is the
favorite perfume of both Queen Alex
andra and Queen Mary, who get a
large consignment, freshly distilled
for them, from Mitcham each year
and use it in great quantities. All the
cushions in the queen mother's bou
doir are filled with i certain amount
of new lavender every summer, so
that the room is always full of the
delicate English perfume.
New Chicken Salad.
Take one cupful of cold chicken that
has been chopped and shredded until
very fine and one ounce of pate de foie
gras. Add to it one ounce of cooking
sherry, the beaten yolks of two eggs
and a cupful of clear chicken broth.
Season to taste with salt and cayenne.
Heat the mixture through and cool.
Add one ounce of dissolved gelatin to
a cupful of whipped cream. Beat the
whites of three eggs to a froth and
mix all lightly together. Put in a
mold and set on Ice six or seven hours.
Serve on a bed of green with mayon
naise. Walnut Cream for Filling.
One and one-half cupfuls milk, scald'
ed; one egg well beaten, scant one-half
cupful sugar, dessert-spoonful each ot
salt; mix aU with the egg, add to the
milk and cook in double boiler until
thick. When cool flavor with vanilla
and add one cupful of walnut meats,
ground fine. Spread on cake. If you
prefer use a white frosting on top and
decorate with whole nut meats.
Mustard Poultice.
This is used for a counterirritant
in case of a pain In the chest back
ache, etc. Into one gill ot boiling wa
ter stir one tablespoonrui of Indian
meal; spread the paste thus made on
A cloth and spread over It on tea
spoon of dry mustard. Equal parti ot
mustard and flour nude Into a paste
and spread between two pieces of

limes in halves, put them In a Jar and
poor over them this strap: One cap
fal of vinegar, 1 cupfuls of molasses,
cupful of water, two teaspoonfuls of
cloves. Boil a few minutes, then pour
over the limes. They should be kept
a little while before eating them.
J CAUSE OF ALLIES IS I
I NOW DESPERATE.'
Dutch Correspondent Tells of Bel
gian Officer Who Says France
Does Not Hcalize Truth.
correspondent in Rosenthal,
Holland, writes an interview with
a Belgian officer who was wound
ed in the fights around Nieuport
and Dixmonde, and after various
shifts was finally landed in a
hospital at Eu. His interesting
statements refer to the battles in
the North of France.
I was taken behind the line of
battle with 54 officers, including
two lieutenant generals. We lost
much blood, and were obliged to
wait eight hours, as we insisted
that the seriously wounded should
be cared for first. The battle in
which all the Belgian forces took
part were more desperate, more
bitter than any that occurred be
fore, even the frightful carnage
at Tongeren and Meline. We
Ihrew away our caps and led the
troops with drawn swords. In the
actual clash we seized bayonets
from the wounded and used them
against the enemy. After this en
gagement our lines were greatly
thinned, but we made happy by
the tribute paid us by Joffre, who
was at headquarters at the time.
We were called heroes, de
feated heroes, alas! Our defeat
was clnelly due to the detective
means of conveying orders to the
troops. We spoke only in French
our men nothing but Flemish.
That made a terrible mix-up. Be
fore we were sent to Saint Omcr
we received a visit- from King Al
bert. He looked very tired and
deathly pale. There was lillle
confidence in his speech, but he
expressed the hope that the Allies
would win. 'Come back soon, my
dear comrades; we shall anxious
ly await your recovery,' he said
at parting.
"On the way to Sainl-Omer we
saw how greatly Belgium needed
her defenders. All the hospitals
were crowded with wounded. The
poor devils were not faring well.
There was a general lack of food.
'Everything to the front,' was the
order. Supplv trains were com
ing up but there was nothing for
Ihe Belgians. Hundreds of them
died and vere buried on French
soil.
"Our men were crowded to
gether with the uncivilized colon
ial troops. The sight was disgust
ing. The blacks would stop their
wounds with sand, and such the
bbod out of each other's lacer
ated flesh. Many of them were
out of their minds and would
jump out of the windows of the
train; little attention was paid
to them. Everything was in con
fusion at Sainl-Omer. We were
so indignant at the preference that
was shown to the 'Allies' that we
refused to enter the quarters,
which, by the way, were thick
with filth, until our men had been
assigned (o quarters fit for hu
man habitation. Quarrels broke
out, which cast a queer light on
the fraternal feeling among the
Allies.
Saint-Omer is a strong military
base, where there are more wound
ed than fighters fit for service.
Sentiment is very much depress
ed. The civilians long ago took
their departure. Every house has
been requisitioned by the army
headquarters. Everything is un
der rigid surveillance. When we
arrived they told us that three
German spies had been summari
ly shot. Some novel provisions
attacks, which would create ines
timable damage at this point. Ve-
drines and Paulhan are on guard
here. ' Paulhan, who was wounded
in one of his flights, is again fit
for duty.
"The misery increased the far
ther we retired from the actual
scenes of war. The French losses
must le uncanny in their extent.
There is not a village without an
emergency hospital. In Abbe
ville and surroundings there are
33,000 wounded. Everybody
speaks of Picardye as 'France's
Hospital.'
"I don't believe people in Paris,
Bordeaux, Lvon or Marseille hav
any idea of the true condition, or
their hoe of victory would be
seriously shattered. Every rrench
officer I spoke to declared in a
voice half veiled with tears: 'Our
brave army is being slowly but
surely murdered. We shall never
surrender, but fight till the last
man. To think of victory is mad
ness. France is being slaughter
ed.' In Eu I spoke o a French
major who fought in the battles
around Quesnoy. What he said
of Joffre I cannot repeat, but I
gathered from his remarks that
the French generals, Castelnau
and Sarrail, are after his place.
One more defat and Joffre will be
forced ta retire.

MET OLD FKIEXD. '
The Democrat man had the
pleasure Thursday morning of
this week of having a good visit
with one of his boyhood triends
whom he had not met for about
Iwenly years, in Ihe person of
Waller Rice, of Greensburg, who
in company with E. R. Hubert,
was returning to his home after
a business trip through Rush and
adjoining counties'. The .Hire
family were former residents of
the south side of Buffalo town
ship, living on the farm now
owned by H. N. MrGill. end-Walter
and the Democrat man were
close boyhood friends. About 20
years ago the family moved foua (
farm near Radium and later sold4
out their holdings there and pur
chased land close to Greensburg.
Walter and his brother, Marshall,
each own a fine farm just two
miles out of Greensburg and are
getting along in fine shaje. They
had a big crop last year and still
have a good share of their wheat
on hand and are going to realize
a nice profit on the big price. The
many friends of the family in IhK
county will be glad to know that
they are getting along so 'nicely.
