American Newspapers war News.


From the New York World.
The New York correspondent of lie
Temps pays an honestly earned
compliment to the American news
papers when he says that "Amert-
cans are infinitely better informed
about the war than any Europeans,
even the neutrals."
Indeed, the American newspapers
are the only newspapers that have
really printed the news of the war.
statement that anybody can verify
for himself by studying the files of
the British, German and French pa
pers since the beginning of HOSTILE
ties.
The New York newspapers print
more of the important British war
news than do the British newspa-
pers. They print more OF the i'm
portant German war news than do
the German newspapers. They print
more of the important French war
news than do the French newspa-
pers. And, as the correspondent of
LIE Temps remarks, they have re-
ceived news from everywhere, from
belligerent and neutral countries,
and also censored and uncensored
dispatches which rectify and clarity
each other"
Inc herman newspapers pIlUL IO
important news except the German Of
cial statements which are printed in
New York. They have none of the
French and English news and are
uniformly silent about German re-
verses. The English newspapers are
not allowed to print some of the Eng
lish news that finds its way to New
York. For example, the American
people knew about the landing of the
British troops in France nearly two
weeks before 1t was made public In
Great Britain, although the French
censorship is not so strict as the Ger
man or so stupid as the British CEN
sorship, the American newspapers
have been able, nevertheless, to print
a great deal of news about the oper-
ations of the allied armies in France
which was not printed in the French
press. In addition, the reports print
ed In New York Of the operations OF
the Russian and Austrian armies have
=. the main been confirmed, although
the news from the east is persistently
colored by both sides.
Thanks to the enterprise and energy
of their newspapers, the American
people are the only people who know
what is really going on in Europe.

No Objection to Noiseless Noise

About this time each year farmers
throughout the country are having
signs printed which read, mo Hunt
ing Allowed" These signs are posted
on the farmers premises and hunt
ers sometimes live up to them.
Yesterday a farmer entered a local
printing establishment with slip of
paper on which was printed mo
Hunting Aloud and told the proprie-
tor that he would like to have fifty
of them printed. After looking at the
slip of paper, the printer, who was
very accommodating, showed the
farmer his mistake in spelling and at
tempted to tell him the difference in
the meaning of the two words, but
was interrupted by the farmer, who
stated:
II don't care how much hunting
they do, as long as they keep quiet
about it,"

British Medical Officers of Health on the
refrigeration OF food. and reported In
the Lancet, should prove OF interest, says
lie Medical Record.
DR.. Hanna, who opened the discussion,
~eferred TO the fact that the United States
was not only no longer sending cattle to
Great Britain, hut was taking for its
own supply cattle from countries whicn
had hitherto exported almost excluslyely
to Great Britain. He went on to point
out that the methods of refrigeration OF
foodsIuffs depended chiefly on the scien-
tine fact that expanding air or vapOr-
izug substances, such as sulphuric acid
carbonic acid or ammonia, in assuming
the gaseous form distracted heat from
the atmosphere or other bodies in the
ueIghborhoCd.
Fresh meat was carried from distant
Countries either as hard frozen meat or
chilled meat. Chilled meat arrived in a
condition ready for consumption and re-
tainCd the characteristics OF fresh meat
more closely than frozen meat, but the
chilling process required great care. and
the transport needed constant superyis-
ion. The frozen method was the better
as regarded preservation, although 1t
sometimes damaged the cellular and
fbrous structure of the meat unless spe-
cial care was taken in defrosting Hanna
gave 1t as his opinion that meat when
thawed would keep with proper care as
well as freshly killed meat after being
taken from the refrigerator, even In
high temperature, a view not in accord
ancs with popular opinion.

BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
THE CARDINAL IS BREAKFAST

AS YOU sit down to the nice break
~ fast Of fruit and cereal, and may
be poached egg on toast, did
il ever occur to you to wonder what
the birds are eating for breakfast at
this very minute? OF course, You
know they cat worms and grubs and
insects, but perhaps they like cereals,
too. Notice some time when you are
walking where birds are and see il
you can find some that eat grains and
seed as we'll as worms.
The pretty little scarlet cardinal
that makes such gay streak as he
flies across the garden likes seeds
very much better than grubs and
worms, and if you throw out wheat,
he will surely visit your garden. In
the seed time Of the year, when every
plant in the garden has its own little
pods OF seed, you need not throw ont
any bait, as he is wise enough to come
there and help himself of the feast
that Nature has spread for him,
All summer long a certain cardinal
had kept his eyes on a very beautiful
garden. Some day he was sure he
would get some extra fine food from
that garden. Above all, lie had his
eye on the big tall sunflower way bacl;
at the end of the yard, Early in sum
mer, this sunhowcr was lovely big
blossom, so big and cheerful and sun
ny did he look that he made the
whole garden seem like one big smile,
But now the sunflowcr's big goldy
petals were all dried up and blown
away, and the soft vclvety centre was
dry and hard with big fat seeds,
You would think the flower was
prettiest when IN blossonl-but the
cardinal wouldn't agree with You. He
didn't care a bit about a blossom
but 4 dead blossom full OF seeds

They are all bulb plants that repay

They will grow almost everywhere, but
it goes without saying that the flowers
will be large and fine if the ground in
which they are planted has had some
special preparation.

or ten inches; 1t should be enriched
with a fertilizer of some kind at that
depth, and if a little sand is placed be.

ter. This will prevent the bulbs from
rotting. if heavy rains should follow too
soon on the planting.
Six inches deep and six inches apart is
the rule for planting hyacinths.
Tulips can be planted four inches deep
and four inches apart. They both need
sunshine, but the snowdrop and the GRO
Gus can be scattered over the ground or
along hedges. or even between everSrcens,
and yet come up smiling.
There are many varieties of bulbs. and
some of the Dutch kinds arc especially
expensive. But crocus and narcissus
bulbs can be bought for 10 and 10 cents a
dozen. Single tulips and the Roman
hyacinth arc to be had for s. cents a
dozen. The price OF tho double tulip and
