Railroads Innocent By-stanaers

A committee of railroad presidents,
headed by MI. Frank Trumbull, has
presented to President Wilson q brief
of the difficulties confronting the rail.
roads brought on by the European war.
The President, in turn, has transmitted
the memoranda to the American
people, directing attention to the
extraordinary emergency now confront
ing the railroads. The railroads are in
nocent by-standers 10 this war and they
have been more severely wounded than
any other industry, for railroad prop
erty, although privately owned, is de-
voted to public service, and while the
government makes the rates and requires
expenditures, it does not guarantee re-
ceipts. The farmers suffer for lack OF
q market and business stagn ates by the
closing Of foreign ports, but the ware
house and the bank vault will preserve
their property from destruction, while
the railroads, like Tennyson's Brook,
must run on and on and cannot resort
to any such expediency to protect their
interest.

one-third of the net profits for manag-
ing the work. Ottens denied this
except 10 the Ottens canal project.

ToAsTINe BREAD.
Preparing It Sc That II May Be Easily
piaested.

Preparing It So That II May Be Easily
Digested.
We toast bread not merely to brown
II, but to take out all the moisture
possible, that 1t may be more easily
moistened with the saliva and thus
easily digested; then we brown 1t to
give it a better flavor.
If the slice be thick and c~arelessly ex-
posed to a blazing fire the outside is
blackened and made into charcoal be-
fore the heat can reach the inside. The
moisture is then only heated, not eYap-
Grated. and makes the inside doughty
or clammy. Butter when spread upon
such bread cannot penetrate, but floats
on the surface in the form Of oil, and
the result is one of the most in
digestible compounds.
The correct way is to have the bread
stale and cut into thin uniform slices
and to dry it thoroughly before brown
ing. Such toast m~oistened with water
or milk may be easily and thoroughly
acted upon by digestive fluids.

LEAVES AND FERNS.
Simple Yet Charming Decorative Uses

Simple Yet Charming Decorative Uses
Of Woodland Plants.
With autumn upon us we shall have
an in~exhaustible supply of gorgeous
leaves, which may be renewed each
day for weeks. A pretty idea is to
scatter the brilliant leaves freshly
gathered over the breakfast o. lunch
con table. They will last for only one
meal, but quite repay the few min
utes' time necessary for gathering. The
bittersweet, gathered late in the fall,
will last for several months.
Just before the freezing up of the
streams and the laying of a snow man
tie dig up some little evergreen ferns
for your fern dish. They have a charm
that the dollhouse fern never seems to
have. With suitable care these will
tide you over until the pussy willows
and other buds of February, which you
may force several weeks ahead of ma
ture by bringing them indoors

A woman is, after all, dictator to
the armed powers of Europe. She is
Nine. Bertha Krupp Won Bohlen und
Halbach, heiress of the great gunmak-
er, Friedrich Krupp, who left the bulk
of his fortune and his great arma-
ment manufacturing plant at Essen,
Germany, to his eldest daughter, Ber-
tina. She owns the steel and gun
works, with the shipyards at Kiel and
the famous gun and armor works at
Madgeburg.
In 1906, when she was nineteen years
old, she married Gustav Won Bohlen
und Halbach, who was sixteen years
her senior and had a successful career
as a diplomat. They have two sons
and a daughter. There is American
blood In the veins of Won Bohlen und
Halbach, although he is a subject of
the kaiser. His father fought on the
northern side in the civil war.
Nine. Won Bohlen und Halbach holds
the fate of nations in her hand, for II
the Krupp works refused to supply
any country with guns that country
would be in a bad way as a military
power. The entire artillery of Russia
and Japan. France, Germany and Italy
was manufactured at the Krupp works,
and during the South African war,
when the artillery made in English
~arsenals proved worthless, England
had to apply to the Krupp works to
supply the urgently needed weapons.
Practically every gun on every Eu-
ropean warship was constructed in the
Krupp works at Essen.
She not only is the richest woman In
Germany, but she is perhaps the most
powerful In the whole world.
BY her whim Or will nations may be
made or destroyed. If she chose to do
so she could shut down the vast gun
works and refuse to supply the NUM-
lions of war to some nation that must
have them or cease to exist.
Her father had no son and educated
his daughter, Bertha, to take his place.
She has been trained in every detail
OF the business and takes personal
charge of it.
1t is said to be the war aspect of her
work that interests her most. The
manufacture of locomotives, steel grid
ers and other products of her facto-
ries is all humdrum to her. The
earliest toys Of her childhood were
absolutely perfect working models of
every battleship and gun constructed
at the factory.
She has made a careful study of ev-
cry detail of battleship construction,
the secrets of rapid firing guns and the
composition of s%hrapnel, dynamite
bombs and other death dealing ammu-
milton.

For Ivy Poison.

This time of the year children or
grownups going through woods are IL
able to get into poison ivy. Some chill
dren pull it up without knowing what
it is. So here is a remedy that will
often make 1t disappear after the first
application:
Dissolve n ounce of sugar of lead
in two ounces Of sweet spirits Of inter,
add one pint OF water that has been
boiled. but must be added after cooling.
Use only externally. Don't leave where
children can handle 1t. This is to be
rubbed on affected parts.

When war is in the air On the cond-
N of Europe a man who is liable for
military service often finds it very diff
ficult to escape from the country. In
the Wide World Magazine Z. ]. Thorn
as tells the story of the escape of one
Petru Ocean from Hungary when on
accoRnt of the Balkan crisis the decree
had HAne forth that no man between
the d of sixteen and ffty-two should
leavd be country without a passport.
Coz who was q Roumanian by
birth and had lived in America, could
not get a passport. He then went to
the agent of a transatlantic line and
bought a ticket for America on the as
surance that the agent would get him
out of the country. After several days
Of suspenSe Ocean. with three other fu-
gitives, was sent t. Il place near the
border, where they were met according
to agreement by a band of Roumanians
disguised as gypsy musicians. four of
whom carried huge bass viols. The
DICKS were 1IUlu tuC fioios
and in each there was a small seat.
Ocean and his fellow ~fugitives took
their places. the backs were fastened
on the viols. and again the musicians
set out for the border. All passed the
guard safely except Cocan. His bearer
got into a dispute with a soldier Of the
guard. the quarrel waxed violent, the
bass viol fell to the ground, the back
came off, and Ocean landed in a ditch
by the roadside. He was arrested and
sent home again.
He tried the same trick again, but on
a different road and at a place on the
border far removed from the first at
tempt This time he made his escape,
but as the musicians were crossing the
border the soldiers of the guard de-
manded a tune, and Ocean endured the
agony of sitting inside a bass viol
while 1t was played upon The noise
in the narrow space was deafening.
After his many adventures Ocean ar
rived safely at Canton. o.
