Putting wilted vegetables into ice
water will restore their freshness.
Baby can open the screen door if
a spoon is tackled on the outside Of
It.
Dandelions should be gathered in
the early morning, before the sun has
wilted them.
Asparagus on toast with hot cream,
we'll salted, makes a delicious break
fast dish
Beet tops should be used, roots
and all discarding only the leaves
that are defective.
The dandelion is worth cultivating:
it is one OF the best potherbs and
useful for a salad
II children are wakeful and rest
less wnen put to bed. try giving them
a glass Of good milk.
IL is good idea to add to the gar
den year by year two or three new
Dotherbs and salad plants.
Oyereooking always injuries the
color OF green's; they should never be
cooked until they become yellow.
Leftover ice cream. may be utilized
IN making cakes. 1t may take the
place Of butter. cream or fiavoring.
Lettuce should be washed carefully
and placed leaf by leaf, in a stone
Jar with a cover and put in the ice

The pot in which greens are cooked
should never be covered. The con-
hned steam Injuries the flavor and

lemon juice are added to dandelions
while cooking. the bitterness will be
somewhat counteracted.
The housewife should have one pot
herb on her table daily. The potherb
is essentially a relish, but it has a
distinct value in the diet.
When cooking asparagus in broken
pieces, 1t is a good idea to add the
tender tips after the tougher pieces
have begun to come tender.

The west harvested nearly 1000, 900 900 bushels of wheat this summer, and that, with other large crops, will put enormous sums of money into circulation.
 ''The south's cotton farmers who may have been somewhat depressed few weeks ago are now optimistic, am told. A great deal of cotton will be sold at 10 cents and farmers who can afford to hold large share of their crop will get much higher price, If the war should end soon the cotton market will boom and with it the whole south will boom Taken all in all, l believe we ares going to have a fine winter season in the business world.'

present crisis and despite the charges
 of pro-German sympathizers that he
 will not keep his word, his position
 in case of victory for the allies will
 be such that he can hardly fail to make his promise. By sheer weight of opinion the other nations of the world would compel the Czar to keep his word, even if he were disposed not to do so.
 Zangwill says that he has received the personal assurance of Sir Edward Grey that he will do all in his power to have Russia emancipate the Jews. Zangwill himself seems to believe firmly that the days of the programme have already passed from Russia and the cruel oppression Russian Jews have endured for so long is now at an end. In this prediction we may see the brighter side of Europe's bloody struggle.

ZangwiIl's Choice

Israel Zangwill declares that, speak ing as world citizen, he would rather see his people in Russia continue to be oppressed than to have the "Teu tonic idea," as represented by Emperor William, the dominant influence of Europe. Zangwill's achievements en- title him to speak as citizen of the world and his eminence as Jewish leader gives him the authority to speak for the Jews. Doubtless his sympathies are affected by love for England, his adopted country, but his views are indorsed by great many other enlightened thinkers who are ap- palled by the idea of Europe feeling the universal blight of militarism. Most of them don't believe any such contingency is even remotely possi- ble, but all agree that if it should come to pass it would mean the great ct calamity the world has ever known and would put civilization back hun dreds of years.
 There is good reason to believe that the Jews will no longer be oppressed 1n Russia. The Czar has promised them religious and political freedom no . reward for their loyalty in the

The Business Situation

In New Orleans the cotton market situation has greatly improved within the last few days and in New York the financial situation is satisfactory. The iron and steel industry is halting, but there are good reasons to believe that the pig iron market will improve shortly and that orders for steel products will increase before the end of another week.
 In this country business conditions are perfectly sound, and it is believed that by the first of October renewed activity will prevail in the industrial field.
 Here in the Birmingham district there is an increased demand for coal, and the coal trade promises to become unusually active before the holidays.

Germans Continue to Retreat

The titanic struggle goes on with fortune still faeoring the allies in France, and the Russians are victori- ous over the combined Austrian and German forces in Poland.
 One week ago the Germans were advancing on Paris like whirlwind. The Kaiser's mighty fighting machine wrought havoc, but the German losses were simply appalling.
 The allies have displayed far better strategy all along than their great adversary, whose superior numbers caused the French people to quake for time. And now that the Anglo French armies are "the pursuers in stead of the pugsued" the situation is radically changed from that of ten days ago.
 One of the most desperate battles of the war was that of the Marne. It lasted several days and resulted in a decisive defeat for the Germans. The report of that fight was withheld entirely from the German people, but particulars seeped through Switzer- land, and when the facts of disaster to the Kaiser's arms became known there was something of panic along the border.
 The Russians, who had been ap- parently slow in mobilizing, are now giving a good account of themselves. In their attack on the Germans and Austrians in East Prussia several days ago they won a decided victory and in Poland they seem to have won a still greater victory.
 In the beginning of the conflict the Germans fought fiercely night and day. Their sweep through Belgium and into France startled military critics. The Teutons were then eager for battle and were in splendid form, but they are showing unmistakable signs of fatigue now. With their heavy losses and their many reverses it will be no wonder if they soon be- come woefully dispirited
 How long Germany will be able to hold out few will care to venture a prediction, but that ultimate defeat will be her lot, is, humanly speaking, about as sure as anything in life can be.

win Keep Out Of War

"A great many people expressed fear a week or two ago that the United States would be forced into the great foreign war, but I have never felt that way" said a professional man.
 'T was much pleased to read an ex- tract from MT. Bryan's speech, deliv- cred in Baltimore. in which he said, I am glad we have in the White House one who will not permit America to be drawn into the warfare now raging The Secretary of State continued: For a while there was good deal of criti- cism of ''watchful waiting," but you hear nobody now speak of it except in term of respect. The peaceful methods of the new world stand out in striking contrast to the methods of the old world
 "The peaceful policy of the Wilson ad- ministration is certainly something that all Americans should applaud. President Wilson is man of peace and so is MT. Bryan. his Secretary of State. With these two statesmen closely watching our foreign relations the country may be as- sured that war could only come to us as last extremity. President Taft re- fused to intervene in Mexico, and Pres ident Wilson, with a great deal of pres sure brought to bear towards interven- ton, continued his watchful waiting pol icy. I cannot for the life of me see any possibility of the United States be- ing forced into war with Japan or any other old world power, certainly not as long as MT. Wilson is President and MT. Bryan is Secretary of State."
