THE EAST AURORA
OIL COMPANY

Having acquired $500 acres of what we
consider the most valuable oil land in this
region, the next step is to dig for the oil.
Boring oil wells is costly proposition. To
obtain the necessary capital for this pur-
pose a separate corporation, the East Au-
rora Oil Co, is to be formed.
You are invited to take $40 interest in
this company. Your friends and neighbors
are invited to come in on the same basis.
Your money and their money and the
money paid in by others from every sec
ton of the United States, will be used to
60 after the oil which we believe lies here
in almost linitlcss supply.
No one will be allowed to put in more
or less-than $40. No subscriber will have
a greater interest in the company than
yourself. No subscriber will have more to
say or have any larger .vote-in deciding
as to the affairs of the Company.

GREAsELEss GRAVY MAY BE HAD
WITH VERY LITTLE TROUBLE.

A Monitor reader tells OF a plan
she discovered for making a grease.
less gravy very quickly and easily
and it has worked so satisfactorily
with her that she passes the informa-
tton along for tho benefit Of the many
housewives who have. found no way
OF removing the grease except by
skimming, which does not remove it
all, and which Is too long a process
when one is preparing a meal. She
says:
"To insure delicious and grease
less gravy with the roast leg OF lamb,
place lump Of ice in the pan after
removing the meat; also set the pan
in cool place. In five or six minutes
a thick cake of grease will have form
ed over the surface of the gravy, and
If large enough piece of ice is used
it will not melt rapidly enough 10
impair the gravy"

THE NUTRITIOUS CRACKER.
tBy Jane Eddington in The Chicago
TrihunaN

/
An ordinary cracker has a fuel or
food value of about one hundred Gallo
RES, and ordinarily there are from
twenty-three to twenty-four crackers
III five.cent box.
1t is easy to see that there may be
as much as 2,400 caiories of food in .
ftve.cent box Of crackers. This is con-
ssderably more than cornmeal yields,
and 1t has been authoritatively de-
clared that cornmeal yields more nu-
trimcnt for the money than any other
food known.
One of the government bulletins on
corn gives the fuel value per pound
Of granulated cornmeal as 1865 Gallo
RES on one page and on another as
Ito, so perhaps the value fluctuates
between these two. UnboIted corn.
a! has a fuel value OF 1850 calorIes.
But this shows pretty conclusively
that a pound of crackers, all ready to
eat and costing no more than cornmeal
in small quantities, is quite equal to
It as yielder of energy or body heat,
and probably much superior.
It takes a rather large slice OF
bread or one Of about. two ounces
weight to yield one hundred caiorles.
i whole pound Of bread, If we got that
much for our five cents, would then
yield only about 800 calories, or about
one third as much energy making food
as pound Of crackers.
OF course one Of the reasons why
the cracker Is so much more concen-
trated a product than bread is that 1t
contains no moisture, while most bread
contains too much for our health, ex-
ceedingly moist bread being indigestl.
BILE for easily eXplainable reasons
Crackers are baked until the nlois'
ture Is entirely evaporated, and they
lave become dry, hard and brittle.
They must be kept dry and cool, or
they will absorb moisture. Therefore
those sold in cartons are far cleaner
than those sold In bulk and more
wholesome in every way, Crackers
which, have absorbed moisture from
the atmosphere are not palatable, nor
are they wholesome,

yrhe British War oftice issues an Of
fciai STATEMENT declaring that the als

tBrit;sfissufgeon, Sir Victor Horsley. 70
sues; the statement ithro1gh me EOS
| nee, that German troops have been
proved tohaye used bullets with q SOFT sol
core and an envelope not entirely GOV:
sefring the core; an expanding kind OF
bullet expressly prohibited by the
Hague Convention.
Belgian refugees in England describe
atrocities committed by Germans in
Belgium, such as gougng out the eyes
of non.combatants, tramplIng on wom-
en- and children; and German men and
women at home in East Prussia In
their letters describe h1deous enormi-
ties perpetrated by the Russian troops
that some weeks ago invaded that
state.
But keen.eyed newspaper correspon-
dents on the scene, after Investigating
all these stories, report all Of them en-
tirely false There are no atrocities
committed by the Germans, none by
the English and none, SO far as known,
by the Russians. That is, there are
sporadic cases OF undue severity or
even cruelty, but as for mistreatment
OF women and children or OF non-com-
batants, or cold-blooded cruelties, the
war is practically exempt from them.
On the other hand, there Is a world
of testimony OF the sympathy OF men
In the trenches toward individual men
of the enemy. What is said to be q
fully authenticated case was reported
of a German commander decorating an
English officer with the iron cross for
his heroism in attempting to save a
wounded German soldier between the
lines. ..T.5
While there are undoubtedly the
facts, yet the people at home Of every
believe the most vicious of the stories
of cruelty and depravity invented
against their enemies. And remark
able thing Is that this hysteria, this
unquestoning and childlike faith in the
most atrocious fakes and falsehoods. Is
not found especially among the plain
people, but among the professional
leaders, the statesmen, the philoso-
piers, the scholars and scientists.
Further, the most illustrious reputa-
lions have been prostituted to the uses
Of special pleading. II there is one
thing more astonishing than another,
indeed, brought out by Europe's plunge
into war, 1t is the simplicity OF the
most distinguished scholars and scien-
lists of all countries. the credulity Of
these eminent men and their IRA
tional, sorry partisanship, spirit that
runs all through the special pleading
which the scientists and the scholars

emily is a thin veneer also.

styles. the change in the width of the
skirts OF the coats was commented
upon. All Of the cloaks, without ex
ception, had an extra width in tho
skirt, whether the garment was belted
or fell straight from the shoulders
Tho chief feature OF the style was that
they were made to hang straight
from the shoulders, sometimes belted.
and the ripple about the bottom Of
skirt was particularly emphasized.
Sleeves slightly full were gathered IN
to Gus and were both of the set-in and
the raglan style. Among the fabrics
OF which these coats were made were
plush, velvet, broadtail, broadcloth,
