April IS. I am send Ins my recipe for dandelion wine, which we like very much. Will you kindly publish a recipe for Oerman potato pancake, also for "f rljoles" ? Thanking you for help re ceived from your column. MRS. M. A. J. Dandelion Wine Three quarts dan delion petals, 4 quarts boiling water, 13 Mi pounds sugar, four slices lemon. Pour the bollng water on the petals and let stand ovep night. In the morn ing strain off the water, add it to the sugar and lemons and set over the fire. Heat the mixture just enough to dis solve the sugar, then pour into a stone crock, cover with cheese cloth and let stand in a warm place. In four or five days it will ferment. After about two weeks fermentation will cease, then strain into bottles and cork se curely. Many thanks for your recipe. The following potato pancakes may not be just what you have in mind, but they are real German ones. "Write again If they do not suit you. German Potato Pancake Have the frying pan hot and greased with one or two spoonfuls goose oil- or bacon fat (Criaco will do). Grate into it enough hot or cold boiled potato to cover the bottom about one-half inch deep. Sprin kle very lightly with salt, then pour over a batter made with one-half cup flour, one-half cup milk, one egg, one level teaspoon baking-powder, one fourth teaspoon salt. The batter should not quite cover the potato. Take care It does not burn underneath. When brown and full of bubbles, turn and brown on the other side. Serve with meat and good gravy. Small individual pancakes may be made by mixing the potato with the batter and dropping it by large spoonfuls a little apart on a griddle or frying-pan. Potato Pancake. Raw Potato Pancake Put two or three tablespoons bacon fat or oil into a frylngpan and cover the bottom about one Inch deep with very coarsely grated raw potato. The "handy sllcer" is good for this. Sprinkle with salt. Cover the pan for about 10 minutes, or until the shreds of potato are cooked through and are soft and semi-transparent, then remove the cover and al low the potatoes to form a brown crust underneath. Finally fold half over, like an omelet (the pieces of po tato will - stick together), and serve with meat. Another way is to pour over Jhe po tato one well beaten egg or a batter made with one egg. one tablespoon flour and three tablespoons milk when the potattoes are found to be cooked and the cover is removed. The first way, however, is good and inexpen sive. A substantial potato and cheese pancake, which maysbe served alone or used to "help out" a small quantity of meat, is made by adding a layer of grated cheese when the potatoes are cooked. When the pancake is folded the melted cheese forms a savory fil ling. A little chopped parsley or chives may be added to any of the above as an "extra touch." I will give" a recipe for frijolcs next time I have space. Till'; annual lecture meeting of the Tuesday Afternoon Club yesterday at the home of Mrs. George W. Tabler was one of the most delightful club gatherings of the season. The pro gramme was unusually interesting. William Fielding Ogburn delivered a scholarly lecture. Rev. Frank Gor man, tenor, rendered a group of songs and Mrs. Charles Swenson gave several violin solos. Charles Swenson and Mrs. Elsie Bond Bischoff played the piano accompaniments. The rooms were decorated with Spring flowers and ferns and a social hour followed the programme. The hostess was as sisted by a few friends. The Girls' Gymnasium Club enter tained last nignt m their clubrooms in the People's Institute, Alblna branch. The club is directed by Miss Mildred Raab and Mrs. Etta MoOmbcr and the membership includes a number of young business and professional wom en who meet frequently for recreation, gymnasium work and social enjoy ment. They are planning Summer out ings, camping trips and hikes as well as hours of study for the next few months. At last night s festivity an or chestra dispense inspiring music.

The girls were all gowned in pretty evening gowns and the special dances were gracefully presented. Sev eral society matrons served as patronesses. It Is reported that the Daughters of the American Revolution of Oregon will provide an American flar 50 by 7" feet for the Oregon flagpole, which will have a prominent location at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. This sub ject was discussed at the last meeting of Multnomah Chapter, held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Malarkey. A me morial to Captain Gray was also con sidered and may be erected by the Daughters. It is the aim of the chap ters to honor the history makers of the Northwest. The closing session of Circle No. 6. Portland Psychology Club, met Mon day arternoon with its leader. Mrs. Waitman T. Wade and celebrated the end of its year's work with a reception and musicale. x'he rooms were decorated with Spring flowers., At the door each guest was given a dainty "thought" done in water color' by the hostess. Besides the members of the circle about 20 additional . gueAts were present. The guests of honor were Mrs. Weister, president of the Portland Psychology Club, and Mrs. Florence Crawford, of the psychology division of the Wo man's Club. Mrs. Weister talked on "Ideals of the Psychology Club." She said In part: "The object of our club work is to help its members in the simple problems of every day living. The world of thought is controlled by the working of natural laws, just like any of the other sciences. These laws, learned and applied to the tangles of life will straighten them out like magic." Mrs. Crawford gave a paper on "De velopment of Individuality." She spoke of the lessons we 'may learn from the growth of flowers. "The daffodil does not try to pile up the 8000 miles or the earth's depth about Itself. No, only draws from the earth what it needs for its develop ment. We need only enough of this world's goods for our own unfold ment. Why spend our time gathering unnecessary supplies? "Airs. Crawford recited several poems of her own composition, Mrs. R. E. Watkins. representing the circle, gave a reminiscence of the year's work and in acknowledgment of the ' splendid work done by Mrs. Wade presented her with a silver loving cup. The talks and papers were interspersed with musical selections contributed by Mrs. B. O. Carl, Mrs. Hollenbeck, Mrs. W. O. Bond and by the Portland Ladies' Trio Mesdames Bond, Carl and Wade. After the programme refreshments were served. - At the table were: Mrs. J. C. Hare and Mrs. W. O. Bond. 'Miss Wade, of Enterprise, and Mrs. Hollen beck, assisted in the lining-room. Mrs W. B.

REETIXGS, said Ratgenhauer VI next jay when Marian presented herself at his office. "Sit down," he added, waving her into a chair. "Had you in mind ever since you dropped in the first time. Why haven t you been showing yourself" "I've been out of town, responded Alarian. "Get out," grinned the theatrical man. "xou were afraid Id steal you. "Don't you ever think it," she an swered with spirit. "I can take care of myself." "Course you can. Who said you couldn't? You're all right, little girl. But leave it to me. I'll make a real actress out of you. I've given lots of girls their start. Today their names are shining on Broadway. And you seem to have the goods if any of them ever had." he added, appraising her complacently. It was a searching gaze that Marian did not like. But she merely responded: "I'm glad to hear you say that, Mr. Ratgenhauer. I'm in earnest about this. Dead in earnest." "That's the talk!" he urged. "I'll do everything I can for you. The com pany I was telling you about starts rehearsals tomorrow. I think I can use you to fill in every week or two. No big parts at the start, understand, but you'll get training that will be worth heaps to you. Willis Wiltree is the star. He's a temperamental sort of pup, but a great card for stock productions. He raises forty 'leven different kinds of thunder at rehear sals and all that sort of thing, but I'll tell him not to bawl you out. He'll do what I tell him." "Thanks," murmured Miss Winthrop. glad that she was to be spared rough treatment at the hands of a moody star. "Be at the Arden Theater at ten sharp tomorrow morning. First re hearsal. I'll introduce you to his nibs. We put on 'The Climbers' next week." He reached into a pigeon-hole and pro duced some type-written "parts." "Here's your part. It's only a bit, for the start not many lines, but you're on the stage a good share of one act. Better familiarize yourself with the lines between now and tomorrow morning." With trembling hands Marian took the proffered manuscript. She could hardly convince herself that this good fortune had at last befallen her. "Been a dozen or more applicants in here." continued Ratgenhauer. "Turned them all down. I want you to Jump in and. see what you . can do." "I'll do my best, and I shan't dis appoint you," said Marian. "I'm not afraid. I don't often get fooled." returned the producer. He reached over and ,w(ygo y.' 5rf7830 reached over, took her hand and swift ly raised It to his lips and kissed it. Marian let him mechanically. "You're going to put it over big, little girl." he made haste to add before Marian could protest against his act. On her way out she mused philo sophically: "There's no use being too squeamish with this fellow. I'll have to put up Just a little with his crude ness. I'll be cute and get all I can out of him. It's the only way to get ahead. With Just a little humoring that man will do a whole lot for me. lie s not such a bad sort, after all." Thus had the - opening wedge of compromise entered her hitherto rigid sense of propriety. She solaced her self with the feeling that proE-ress demanded the toll of a certain amount or compromise. A consuming ambition for theatrical success had thrown its silken mantle over her. obscuring her earlier, more puritanical viewpoint. CALENDAR FOR TODAY. Society.

I am sure your opinion will be appreciated, not only by myself, but by many others. "I might add I am 44, a confirmed smoker, but one who wants to quit, and with the aid of some safe and sane treatment." Reply. The tobacco habit Is a drug habit, and so far, experience shows that there are very few permanent cures from these habits because of the use of other drugs. This Is true with alco hol, morphine, and cocaine, and I do not believe that tobacco is any excep tion to the rule. In' fact, the tobacco poison is mare insidious and more dif ficult to get over than the liquor habit. So far the silver nitrate treatment has been used principally for cigarette smoking, where the smoke is inhaled into the lungs and then exhaled through the nose. The mucous mem brane of the nose and upper part of the throat are painted over with a so lution of the drug for the purpose of destroying the action of the smoke on the mucous surface. Even though this is accomplished, it can only be for a short time, for the mucous membrane is soon renewed and the effect of the treatment is lost. In answer to the next two questions, whether it is harmless or safe depends entirely upon the strength of, the solu tion of silver nitrate used. No harm and probably no results would follow a 1 or 2-per-cent application, but a 10- per-cent solution wouia nave to do used with much care. Silver nitrate is a powerful caustic and ulcers due to its action are very slow In healing If a drop of a 10-per-cent solution should get on the Vocal cords in this treatment. It surely would oe Harm ful. This accident need not occur if care is exercised. The nature of this drug Is such that I do not believe it should.' be used ex cept under the direction of a physician. The preparation has not been used in this treatment sufficiently long to say that the results are more than tem porary, but the writer believeB that one who is anxious to stop sraoKinar ana needs help, is safe in having this treat ment administered, by proper individ uals. One of the principal reasons why people do not overcome drug habits by means of other drugs Is because the will power is not fully enlisted. Any drug that creates a habit has created a desire for itself in the nervous sys tem. Its use has been, consented to, there is a yielding of the will. One may get over the immediate effects of drug habits by means of some other drug, but It does not last long. Until there Is a hearty co-operation of the will the craving for the effect, what ever it may be. is bound "to assert it self. So overcoming any drug habit is largely a matter of will power. One says: ""Well. I could quit It If I would." That is the trouble, so many cannot "would." There are a great many men who have quit the use of tobacco for all time by definitely making up their minds to do so without reservation. He who gives up any habit and still longs for It has not fully given it up, and is likely to return to his habit. A man who determined to stop smoking and had quit for about three weeks, said to the writer one night. "I would give $100 for a good cigar tonight." He was soon smoking again, for he had not quit smoking in his mind. Sliver Nitrate as Core for Smoking. fVI R. F. A. C. writes: "Is the nitrate I I of silver treatment for tobacco ef fective? "Is it a harmless treatment? "Is it safe? "There has been considerable space devoted to the remedy in the press, but an uncertainty seems to exist about it. and our local doctors seem to be di vided in their opinion as to its effec tiveness and as to whether or not it sugar. You will find it a most heav enly and nectarish drink, which you will want to take in teaspoons in order to get the full enjoyment from it. "Cream sweetened with shaved maple sugar" Is exactly what is recommended by David Harum as a favorite sauce for Indian pudding In his home. It is an excellent sauce for many other sorts of puddings for which the best sauce Is a plain sweetened cream tapioca, apple dumpling, etc. There are a few of us who know what true maple syrup is, because we have made It ourselves, gathered the sap. boiled it down to a syrup, or the maple wax. or to the sugar. But the smrll makers usually stop with the syrup, which, if bottled hot. keeps the year around. But if you have not the bottles you must needs make It Into sugar, which is preserved as any sugar is. Maple flavoring has an enormous popularity, even..w.hcn the syrup used for the business Is extracted from corn cobs, or Is nothing more than caramelized sugar syrup, fixed up with an artificial and possibly illegal flavor. An untried method is to be found in that favorite model of kitchen su premacy.
