Another Alarm in Germany

In most countries popular illiteracy
is regarded as an evil, but in Germany,
at least by the "ruling classes" the re-
verse is true. Serious alarm is now ex-
pressed at the extent to which the people
are becoming educated, especially at the
increasing number of these who are get
ting university education. Accordingly
the proposed new university at Dantzig
has been abandoned and measures for
discouraging attendance at universities
are actually under consideration. A
university bred proletariat is a startling
thing to contemplate, and Germany
shrinks from the responsibility of being
the first to deal with it.-New York Trib-
une.

Bacon Salad

Not every housekeeper knows the de-
licious salad which may be made of ba-
con cut in dice shaped pieces, fried
brown, and used with dandelion or
chicory leaves. Prepare quart of
bleached leaves. After washing, rinsing
and draining them thoroughly, put
them in a salad bowl. Take two thin
slices of bacon and cut them into small
dice. Put them in a hot frying pan and
toss them until they are well cooked and
a rich brown. Drain them from the fat
that has fried out. Lay them for an
instant on coarse brown paper to
absorb the fat. Toss them with the
salad leaves, which must be prop
erly seasoned with salt and pepper,
and finally add two teaspoonfuls of
sharp vinegar. Toss the salad we'll and
serve it.-London Star
