Em- mctt Holt of Columbia and Dr. Henry L. K. Shaw of Union university. Milk for the bottle fed baby may be pasteurized by placing it, after it has been prepared in bottles according to previous instructions, in a deep sauce pan filled with cold water and left on the stove until the water boils. Then remove from stovo to table and allow to stand in the hot water for twenty mmues. Then cool by placing them in cold water, afterward putting them on ice. Rapid cooling is of great im portance. Pasteurize only in the sep- vrate feeding bottles after milk has been prepared. Grounding Wire Causes Darkness. Grounding of a 23,000 volt electric wire somewhere below Union about 7 o'clock Tuesday put La Grande into darkness until the local "load" could be accommodated by the Morgan lake station.

Place the rice and carrots in a shallow, covered casserole, with two cupfuls of water, three tablespoonfuls of butter, one tea spoonful of salt and a quarter of a tea spoonful of pepper. Cook these in tlie oven with a moderate heat for one aud one-half hours. Have thoroughly wash ed six or eight chicken livers. Place them in the casserole, together with the contents of a small can of French peas, a cupful of cream and half a tea spoonful of chopped parsley. Cook pently until the livers are tender. Sprinkle lightly with salt aud pepper Bni serve very hot. This will serve well four people. I Hungarian Barley Dish. ' Take oue cupful of barley and wash it thoroughly. 1'our over It three cup fuls of bulling water, soak three boars and turn both water and barley into a casserole. Cut one pound of lean beef or veal into small pieces and chop fine one good sized onion and one carrot; season with salt and a quarter of a teaspoonful of paprika.

Remove from the skillet and place iu j THE FORUM Says It is Unconstitutional. Imbler, Ore., Feb. 20. (To the Edi tor La Grande Observer.) d see President Wilson has asked congress to grant him power to act when con gress is not in session. This, as .1 understand it, is asking for unconsti tutional power. The contitution says congress shall declare war and here in is one of the great differences be tween a monarchial government and a republic. In our republic one man does not have the power to declare war, and herein is a safeguard. It might be alright to write our con gressmen and senators. It is alright to back up the president, but it must be done properly, lavfully and consti tutionally, and li, is not probable that there will be any cause for such haste. A. F. WILSON. The High Cost of Living. Perry, Ore., Feb. 21. (To the Edi tor) I have read several articles written by local men which have ap peared in your paper regarding the high cost of living, and I wish to de fine this subject as it appears to me. THE OUTBURSTS uTf DigroRP'.NC me Peace, tvrwr twe . j . . ... lOU lO OSf J f- ' .j r coNCRATUunre. You,, L CASfS IS , the Casserole BACHELLER a casserole without cutting, covering with boiling wuier and seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover and cook gen tly for two hours. Have cut two doi en potato balls and one dozen small white onions, peeled and in cold wa ter. Place these around the tenderloin, add three tablesioonfuls of butter, an other sprinkle of salt und pepper and more water If necessary, but It must be boiling. Tlieu cover the casserole und cook three-fourths of an hour longer. Just before taking to the ta ble sprinkle over with chopped pars ley. Tills serves four lieople liberally. Spiced Apples En Casserole. Select six small, perfect apples of medium size, Greenings or Nortlicru Spies. Cut them in halves and lay in a casserole. Pour hi the dish oue cup ful of hot water, sprinkle over them one-half cupful of either very light brown sugar or shaved maplo sugar, the tiniest sprinkle of salt, a half tea spoonful of ground cinnamon and one fourth teaspoonful of ground cloves, the sugar, salt and spices to be mixed together first. Just !cfore placing in the oven turn Into tlio dish the Juice of one lemon and a level tablespoon ful of butter. Bake with the cover on the casserole for a half hour, and then re move the cover and bake for tll'teeu minutes longer with the heat of the oven increased. This is a delicious ac companiment for fowl or any kind of game and is frequently served with pork. The above Is a siifflcient quan tity for six people. Bananas En Casserole. Take six perfect bananas, peel them and cut them In half, lengthwise. Lay them in a shallow casserole and sprin kle over them three tahlcspooufuls of sucar, into which tins been mixed a quarter of a teaspoonful of gnmiul cloves and just a plneh of salt. A ta hlcspoonful of lemon juice sprinkled over them brings out the flavor of the fruit. These, are very hearty and should bo served with a light meat course, taking the place of a vegetable. I suppose that there are many of us, as well as our parents that well remember the simple life led by the people a few years ago, the modest clothes worn, and the plain food eat en. But would we think of going back 25 years and live as did our fa thers? No! As we grow and prog ress, our desires grow and expand, and our wants become greater. Is it not natural that they should ? 'I wish to give a very striking example and believe the conditions throughout the United States ore similar, probably we are favored a little in this section. In the little mill town of Perry, there ere in the neighborhood of DO families. Of those 50 families, 19 own pianos, and ten own automobiles. A few years ago there were no pianos in the town, and five years ago there was one Ford. In these modern times, we are not content to merely exist, but we must live in the very bc3t way and enjoy the fruits of this world. We must eat the best of food, wear the best of clothes, and have our houses furnish ed with expensive rugs and furniture. Should we wish to travel a short dis tance, do 'we walk? No, we call a taxi. The proposed highway which will connect up the coast cities with our cities of Eastern Oregon is of a OF EVERETT TRUE.

"Clean your bauds this time- with soap, water, a little kerosene and a nailbrush," advised Shirley Mason, the MeCluro Pictures star. "Ami here ufter, when you must black your stove. rub your hands llrst with Vaseline, put ou a glove or old stocking and use a paintbrush to apply the blacking aid a polishing brush to polish it off. Don't forget to mix some soft soup with your blacking, either. 111 give you more advice from time to time." HELPS FOR HOUSEWIVES. To Clean White Toy. Velvet rabbits and Teddy Im-oi's may be cleaned by using a paste made of cornstarch and cold wuter, just enough water to dissolve the cornstarch. A- ply it with a brush, coating the toy thoroughly. When dry, brush well. Scalloped Edges. After embroidering n towel or any other piece with a scalloped edge, in order to leave smooth and free from mvels, wash the piece and .shrink it before cutting out the scallops. luxurious as well as a necessary un dertaking. (We could live without it. We could live in tho mountains as in the primitive time without any con veniences of travel. But our wants and desires expand as the world pro gresses. So it is not unreasonable to believe that wo can enjoy these things without having to pay for them. Pi anos and automobiles, fine clothes and good roads cost money. So I contend that a greut percent age of the high cost of living is due to tho cost of living high. GEO. W. PERRY.
