NORTH SEA A MAGAZINE.
Germans, British and Dutch All Laying
Mines-Urge Closing 1t.

LONDON, Oct. '3I.-A despatch from
Flushing, Holland, to The Daily News
says:
San examination Of the map of the
North Sea, with. known mine areas
marked, makes Ope wonder that any
mariner dares sail. The Germans, Eng
lish and Dutch all have been active in
mine laying during the past few weeks,
and As q result the sea is a Yerltablc
powder magazine.
+ f'The Germans are sending cut motor
boats to patrol the coast which they
occupy. These patrol boats are also
sowing mines wherever they are likely
to he useful. The ,motor boats We're
drought. overland from the Baltia,'
The newspapers continue to urge up
on the admiralty the STABILITY of the
entire closing of the North Sea in or
der to prevent the alleged action of the
Germans in sending out mine layers
in the 2uise of peaceful. neutral trading
vessels. In this connection The Times
says:
I've refer again to the disquieting
discovery of mines on the main route
between Liverpool and America. There
is an increasing conviction that this
danger will continue to grow and that
the only remedy is the closing of the
North Sea to neutral maritime traffic
1.-The flags of neutrals have been per
sistentlv abused, and we can take no
risks with the fortunes of the empire
and the race at stake.

An Opportunity for
Household Economy

The great advance in price Of cream of tartar
which is derived from grapes-due to inability to
for and market the grape crop in the European
countries now at war, can be made advantageous to
the housewives Of New England. va .a
Housekeepers will find it more economical
and much more satisfactory to- use Royal Baking
Powder which is made from highly rehned pure
cream of tartar. First, because the price of Royal
has not been changed and it will do perfect work;
second, because food made with Royal Baking
Powder will be finer and more palatabe; and
finally, because it insures the absence of all danger
from alum or similar unwholesome products.
The oldfashoned custom of buying cream of
tartar and mixing it with soda, or using sour milk
may be discarded with profit. The high cost and
scarcity Of cream of tartar furnishes temptation
to INSCRIPTIONS dealers to substitute an adulterated
product. which may be either lime phosphates or
alum, that will change the baking strength and
may spoil the food.
