HARDEST NUT OF ALL
OUT IN APPROPRIATIONS PROB
LEM UP TO DEMOCRATS.
Platform Promises to Be Redeemed,
snd How to Do So Is Something
That Will Keep the Lead
ers Guessing.
What will the next house do in the
matter of appropriations? How deep a
cut will be made In tho Republican rec
ord? And where will tho knife be ap
plied?
We need not take as the basis for
inquiry and speculation the remark ac
credited to Mr. Aldrich, that good bus
iness management of the government's
affairs would bring the sum total of
present expenditures three hundred
million dollars under present figures.
The Rhode Island senator made no
such assertion. But the figures are
high, and the Democratic leaders in
both houses of congress have criticized
them roundly. Are they preparing to
make a notable saving?
Mr. Livingston of Georgia Is the
senior member of tho minority on the
appropriations committee of the pres
ent house, but he will not be a mem
ber of the next house. Next in order
come Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, Mr.
Burleson of Texas, Mr. Sherley of Ken
tucky and Mr. Bowers of Mississippi,
all capable men. But what will be their
fate at the ha.nds of the committee
on committees? Unless reassigned
where they have made good, they will
have to qualify for Important service
elsewhere.
But the appropriations committee
proper does not prepare all the supply
bills. The pensions committee pre
pares the pension bill, which is a large
one; tha rivers and harbors committee
prepares the bill of that name, and
(he naval committee the bill of that
name. Shall we see cuts made in
those measures? Not likely.
The pension bill is a bill apart. It
Is often criticized. There are men who
sincerely praise the great services of
those who saved the Union, and yet
who think that the government at this
remote day from the close of hostili
ties is paying too much in the way of
pensions. But between criticism
founded upon round numbers, and a
definite proposition going into details
for a reduction of the appropriations,
there is a difference.
And who will propose any material
reduction in the amount for keeping
the navy lit? And where is the mem
ber of the next house with a harbor or
a running stream in his district who
may be expected to lift his voice
against governmental aid in those di
rections?
The tariff is a hard nut tor
So will currency reform prove ae.
But making the appropriations con
form to partisan criticism —if there is
a serious effort to that end —may
prove the hardest nut of all. —Wash-
ington Star.
Democrat and Democrat.
Again occurs the query. What is a
Democrat? It is made in connection
with what happened in the house of
representatives when Mr. James of
Kentucky offered an amendment to
the tariff bill providing for the creation
of a tariff board. Mr. James wanted
the measure changed lo the Democrats
could select the minority members of
the board. Instead of leaving the ap
pointment to the president. Mr. James
did this, he said, because "there are
Democrats and Democrats," and only
the Democratic members of the house
could know who was a real Democrat
—a Republican president could not.
This certainly is a frank confession.
But the house did not take Mr. James
seriously, and his amendment was de
feated. So were all other amendments
offered, and after nine hours of de
bate the measure was passed precisely
as reported unanimously by the ways
and means committee.
Party Not All With Baiiey.
The ways and means committee of
the house of representatives has re
ported a tariff commission bill which
is substantially the same as the meas
ure introduced by Mr. Longworth of
Ohio. This action encourages the be
lief that the bill will pass congress
and become a law, thus establishing a
permanent method of dealing with tar
iff problems. Senator Bailey of Texas,
the Democratic leader who seems at
odds with his party in many tariff mat
ters, avows his uncompromising hostil
ity to the tariff commission idea and
says he will filibuster the bill to death
when It comes before the house of
which he is a member. But Senator
Bailey does not always "deliver the
goods." In fact, there are several of
his party associates who strongly dis
sent from his economic views.
Rough Passage Ahead.
The new ways and means commit
tee which will be created in the next
Democratic house of representatives
at Washington has a majority in favor
of piecemeal tariff revision. The pur
pose is to take up "tariff reform"
schedule by schedule, which is directly
contrary to the plan urged by Senator
Bailey of Texas, who wants to deal
with the entire question at once. This
means unpleasantness at the very out
set, wilh chances of further trouble as
the situation develops. The Demo
crats may get their piecemeal scheme
through the house, but the irrepressi
ble Mr. Bailey will be on guard in the
senate, prepared lo do all he can to
block any measure that does not con
form to his notions. Besides, the Re
publican majority In that branch of
congress will have something to say.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSftAY, MARCH 9, 1911.
MUST GO FORWARD SLOWLY
Many Thing* to Bo Considered Bofore
the Appointment of Permanent
Tariff Commission.
What la described as the administra
tion bill for a permanent tarlfT com
mission, Introduced by Mr. Longworth
of Ohio, will have to pass the ordeal of
vigorous criticism before It Is adopted
by congress. We are Inclined to think
that it may become the basis of effect
ive action, but there are features of It
that demand careful consideration.
One of these, which will almost sure
ly be challenged, la the omission of
any provision for requiring reports
from the commission by either house
of congress that may ask for them.
The commission is required to report
on the request of congress or of the
president, but under this clause the
next house of representatives would be
helpless to secure the aid of the com
mission If the senate refused to con
cur In a request for It. Another fea
ture that will arouse a good deal of
contention Is that relating to the pow
ers of the commission to compel the
production of books and papers, and
also to obtain business information
confidentially. This is bound to prove
s. most delicate matter, and there is no
denying that such powers are subject
to abuse. On the other hand. It Is
equally undeniable that, every manu
facturer protected by duties on com
peting goods is the direct recipient of
favor by legislation at the expense of
the general public, and can properly
and justly be held to account for the
way in which he uses the favor grant
ed. It is always open to these benefi
ciaries to escape from the inconveni
ence of official inquiry and inspection
by consenting to the reduction of the
favors enjoyed and by submittinc to
open competition, in which they would
still have many substantial advantages.
—Chicago Tribune.
What Tariff Commission Will Do.
An earnest of the high and impor
tant purpose intended for the proposed
permanent tariff commission is afford
ed by the work now being done by the
tariff board under the direction of
President Taft.. When the people un
derstand it clearly, the senate, should
it prove reactionary In this matter,
will undergo a baptism of wrath be
side which the bitter feeling already
aroused agninst it will seem of as little
consequence as a passing zephyr.
The board is compiling a glossary or
dictionary of all ihe items in the tariff
law. When a manufacturer or pro
ducer asks for a duty of from 25 to
100 per cent, on a certain article, this
little book will enable congressmen to
ascertain whether such protection is
warranted. It will show the use of
every article on which thcro is a tar
iff. It will show the extent of produc
tion and its relative cost in the United
States and abroad. And what is of the
utmost importance, it will show
whether more is imported than export
ed. The members of congress called
upon to vote on a tariff item may do
so intelligently by merely referring to
this report.
Nothing can be more preposterous
and paradoxical than the fact that
never has a congresT had this informa
tion in hand in the framing of a tariff
law. Senators and representatives
have voted on tariff schedules with but
little notion of their meaning except
such as was conveyed by the interests
demanding protection. Men who have
been permitted to dictate some of the
schedules have thereby been enabled
to fasten a strong ho'.d on American
Industries, through the ignorance of
congress and the people on these sub
jects.—Cleveland Leader.
For National Defense.
We have been engaged for a dozen
years, since the skirmish with a fourth
rate European power found us dis
gracefully unprepared, in a haphazard
and often contradictory fashion in try
ing to provide for a decent military
force. We have succeeded in proving
that it would be entirely practicable on
a well-digested, comprehensive plan,
embracing tho future and made reason
ably permanent. The secretary of war
now urges that a competent commis
sion be appointed to study the whole
subject and to report such a plan.
There is no more important recom
mendation before congress, and there
should be no difficulty in securing the
necessary legislation at the present
cession in order that no time be lost.
All we need is to provide for the effec
tive use of the men who would, in
proper conditions, gladly train them
selves as possible soldiers. —New York
Times.
Voice for Reciprocity.
Every consideration of the public
inteerst demands the prompt ratifica
tion of the reciprocity bargain with the
Dominion of Canada. Politics should be
cut from the discussion. It, like other
tariff questions, Is economic. Freer
trade relations with the people to the
north are desired by all whose selfish
desires do not conflict with the general
welfare.
It would be far worse than mere
short-sightedness for congress to re
ject this reciprocal agreement. It
would be an error of tho same charac
ter as was committed when congress
raised this tariff wall, which the pres
ent proposed agreement is designed in
part to correct. —Cleveland Leader.
Senator Owen complains that the
Pnrrre •: iv<> Republican league has

would only use some of their princi
ples thore would bo leas dauger ol

Preservatives in Food.
The use of preservatives in our
food has been a subject often dis
cussed and even with our puro food
laws has not been settled.
All questionable preservatives are
more or less unwholesome, and when
taken Into the body In any amount
will produce poisonous effects.
Borax Is widely used as a preserv
ative, especially In countries where
the market Is at a distance from the
sources of supply.
The use of borax seems to be fol
lowed by no harmful results, but w®
are not sure that many of the di
gestive Ills may be caused by the con
tinued use of the drug in the food.
The only safe rule Is to insist upon
having absolutely pure food. In the
home the use of such materials should
be unhesitatingly condemned; for
though they may produce no notice
able Injury when used In small quan
tities, It is not unprobable that a
dally use may cause trouble.
We have perfectly wholesome pre
servatives, like sugar, salt, vinegar
and spices, though too much of any
of these Is not good. Sugar being a
food, the addition of it to our food
adds to the food value. Sugar is the
Ideal preservative for fruits. Mold 3
and yeasts will not grow in a solu
tion containing a considerable quan
tity of sugar.
Fresh flsh is often rubbed with
sugar to preserve It for a short'time.
Condensed milk is preserved by add
ing sugar; it changes the milk, but
does not Injure it as a food.
Salt Is another harmless preserva
tive and Is the common one lor the
keeping of pork, eggs, butter and flsh.
Salt in too large a quantity is not
wholesome, and the food by the con
tact of tho salt Is somewhat changed,
making it less digestible. All salty
foods, like ham when too salt, pork
and flsh should be well soaked in
water before cooking.
Acetic acid or vinegar is another
well-known preservative used to pre
serve pickles of all kinds. The acid
serves two purposes, changes the fla
vor and at the same time keeps the
pickles from spoiling.
Spices, so common In the home, are
good preservatives. Spice also serves
two purposes, flavoring and preserv
ing the food at the same time.

Cooking and Serving Potatoes.
The following ways of preparing the
common vegetable, potato, may not
all be new; but no doubt these may
suggest other ways of serving: After
all there is nothing new under the
sun, but she who invents a new com
bination that is appetizing and whole
some is a true benefactor.
Anna Potatoes. —This method of
serving potatoes is very similar to
Franconia, except in the form of the
potato. To prepare, wash, pare and
cut in lengthwise slices one-fourth of
an inch in thickness, and fasten with
wooden skewers in fan shapes. Par
boil ten minutes, then place in a drip
ping pan, and bake in a hot oven until
soft, basting every three minutes with
butter or some other fat.
Sweet Potatoes Georgian Style.—
Season mashed sweet potatoes with
butter, nit. pepper and moisten with
cream. Heat five minutes. Put into
a baking dish, leaving a rough sur
face. Pour over a sirup made by boil
ing two tablespoonfuls of molasses
and one teaspoonful of butter five
minutes. Pake in the oven until deli
cately brown.
Hongroise Potatoes.—Wash, pare
and cut potatoes In one-third-inch
cuhes; there should be three cups.
Parboil three minutes and drain. Add
one-third of a cup of butter and cook
until the potatoes are soft and slight
ly browned. Melt two tablespoonfuls
of butter, add a few drops of onion
juice, two tablespoonfuls of flour,
and one cup of hot milk, added gradu
ally. Season with salt and paprika,
then add one egg yolk. Pour tho
sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle
with finely-chopped parsley.
Maitre d'Hotel Potatoes.—Cut pota
toes in balls with a cutter or Into
slices; cook In boiling salted water
until soft. Serve with the following
sauce: Cream three tablespoons of
butter, add one teaspoon of lemon
juice, one-half teaspoon of salt, one
eighth of a teaspoon of pepper and
one-half of a teaspoonful of finely
chopped parsley.

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS
A speedy and economical treatment
for disfiguring pimples is the follow
ing: Gently smear the face with Cuti
cura Ointment, but do not rub. Wash
off the ointment In five minutes with
Cuticura Soap and hot water and
bathe freely for some minutes. Re
peat morning and evening. At other
times use hot water and Cuticura
Soap for bathing the face as often as
agreeable. Cuticura soap and oint
ment are equally successful for Itch
ing, burning, scaly and crusted hu
mors of the skin and scalp, with loss
of hair, from infancy to age, usually
affording instant relief, when all else
fails. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

IT'S FOOD
That Restores and Makes Health I
Possible.
There are stomach specialists as i
well as eye and ear and other special- j
Jsts.
One of these told a young lady, of J
New Brunswick, N. J., to quit medi
cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
"For about 12 months I suffered se
verely with gastritis. I was unable
to retain much of anything on my
stomach, and consequently was com
pelled to give up my occupation.
"I took quantities of medicine, and
had an idea I was dieting, but I con
tinued to suffer, and soon lost 15
pounds in weight. I was depressed
In spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af
fected that it was impossible to be
come interested in even the lightest
reading matter.
"After suffering for months Ide
cided togo to a stomach specialist..
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve immediately.
It was the keynote of a new life.
"I found that I had been eating too
much starchy food which I did not di
gest, and that the cereals which I had
tried had been too heavy. I soon
proved that It la not the quantity of
food that one eats, but the quality.
"In a few weeks I was able togo
back to my old business of doing cler
ical work. I have continued to eat
Grape-Nuts for both tho morning and
evening meal. I wuke in the morning
with a clear mind and feel rested. 1
regained my lost weight In a short
time. I am well and happy again and
owe it to Grape-Nuts." Name giren
