SOUPS EASY TO MAKE
PALATARLE AND ECONOMICAL
ADDITIONS TO THE MENU.
Enable Housewife to Utilize Leftover
Materials Which Could Not Be
Otherwise Employed-Three
of tho Best Recipes.

Prices of foodstuffs are keeping
wonderfully normal, but 1t behooves
the housekeeper In these uncertain
times to learn to make the very best
use of the supplies which she obtains,
SO that she can supply nutritious
meals at the lowest possible cost.
Soups provide great deal of nutri-
ton, and in making them cooked
bones, whether OF meat or fish, make
really good basis for the stock.
while the water In which vegetables
have been cooked Is also excellent for
soups.
Into the stock pot can go all meat
trimmings. bones, oarcasses and glib
lets of poultry and game, all rinds
and trimmings of tongue. ham and
bacon, all liquids In which meat or
vegetables have been cooked and all
strippings OF vegetables.
All these should be properly trim
med, rinsed and put into the stock
pot Simmer, but do not boil the
soup. Ten minutes rapid boiling Will
cloud a ketfleful of soup. Do not add
the vegetables until the last hour Of
cooking. The delicate favoring of
both meats and vegetables Is easily
driven OF In the steam II they are
boiled rapidly or cooked too long.
An easily prepared and cheap soup
is made as follows. Place some bones.
cooked or uncooked, In a pot with
an onion, two carrots and two sliced
turnips, two stalks of parsley, little
pepper and salt. and pour In sufficient
water TO just cover them all. Bring
this all Just to boil. then draw the
pan to the side OF the fire, and let
the contents simmer for two TO three
hours. Now cook and blend one-half
an ounce of dripping and three-fourths
ounce OF -four. Strain the liquor on to
this. stirring well. Then put all back
on TO the fire and simmer for fifteen
minutes. and serve.

The Modern Humane Bullet.

The first comprehensive discussion of gunshot
wounds of the present war occurs in "The Lon
don Lancet" 1t is the view of Colonel G.. H.
Makins, consulting surgeon to the expeditionary
force 1t is by far the most unfavorabe report
that has come out of the theatre of war.
As a preliminary, Colonel Makins SCOTS at
the "humane" civilization which adopted the
modern, supposedly humane, bullet and at the
same time proceeded to make war chiefly with
projectiles which "cut off head, an arm or a
leg or lay open the major part of one or more
Of the great body cavities" This is fair crit,
cism. As has been pointed out in these columns
before, artillery, not rifles, has fought the bulk
of the battles in France and Belgium, and the
wounds from shells and shrapnel can never be
called humane by any stretch of the magma
tion This terrible destructiveness greets the
Investigator at the outset of his search.
Turning to the question of rife wounds, Colo
mel Makins finds the modern pointed bullet far
from the humane projectile it is commonly sup
posed TO be. He does not give detailed figures.
but ne speaks with conviction of the large num-
Der of rifle wounds worse than any ever effected
by an expanding or soft-nosed bullet. The
wound of entry is usually small but terrible
destruction 100 often follows. Inc cause OF this
unexpected condition Colonel Makins lays TO-
the instability of flight in the long axis Of the
projecte:
Allowing the capacity OF the pointed bullet 20
produce the small apertures OF entry and exit and
the narrow Intervening canal made by the older
bullet, yet IL is clear that a clearly perforatug
instrument 10 needs strike with extreme accuracy
and precision, and If this be not the wounds
Of vastly different character result. 4 slight
inaccuracy Of impact causing only en- unmportant
increase COR none at all Of the aperture Of entry
may result in the production Of explosive" exit
aperture OF the extreme type when no bone has
been touched and the resistance OF the soft parts
Of the body is alone met with.
All this accords very closely with the views Of
Mr.. Selous the big game hunter, who reported
the terrible destructiveness of modern bullets
when used against animals This humane
projectile can upon occasion make small, clean
wound. But if it is the least detected it is most
destructive. And apparently this detection, the
"keyhong" Of the bullet, 50 that it ceases to be
a small, boring instrument and becomes a mere
slug Of metal, is far more frequent than any one
supposed What little humanity was thought TO
reside in modern warfare seems to have van
ished

LEANING ITALY
She |, Always Falling in with the AL
lies, but Never Does.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
sir. Ever since the beginning or the
war the newspapers have been tehlng
me- that italy is on the verge of joining
tho Allies. But, like the famous tow
or OF their beautiful city Pisa, the
Italians are always leaning without
falling.
Has il ever occurred 70 the reading
public that possibly ltaly's attitude is
desired By Germany? Should Italy side
with Germany and Austria she would
have her hands full in defending her
self against hostile attacks, but by re-
naming neutral she is aiding Germany
in the best way possible. ltaly's enor-
nous imports of foodstuifs, copper,
etc. are surely not made for her own
CONSUMPTION. and no doubt a large per-
centage Of them finds It's way into Ger
many. All this would naturally stop
at once should Italy openly aid Ger
many. Early in December the New
York papers informed us with owlisE
seriousness that Italy would positively
Join the Allies on December Is. Well,
here we have the cath. and the best
that can be said is that Italy is still
leaning. 70 cover their disappointment
the papers now tell us that Rumana
and Greece will soon side with the Al
lies.
Funny. isn't H. that the Allies al
ways expect great things from other
nations, while Germany expects nothing
from others, but has supreme conf
dence in her own ability to remain
master OF the situation?

Lunches for Hungry Pupils.

Superintendent Mxawell's plan to have cooking
school pupils learn to cook foods which can be
retailed for pupils lunches at nominal cost Is
good one. The idea of operating cooking schools
is practical. The superintendent own charac-
terization of their work-"cOncOcting dainties for
which there is no use'-indcates that 1t has
been rather of the fads-and-fancies type. 1t
would be sautary for the pupils learning to cook
and the pupils who need food to eat to have the
training gain a practical, unitarian character
Recent experiments by schooteacher who has
kept track of the weight of her pupils indicate
considerable proportion of improper feeding or
of malnutrition. Undoubtedly many children
attending the public schools are actually under
fed this winter. There should be a ready re-
spouse to Superintendent Maxwels appeal for
funds to purchase the necessary utensils for car
rying out his plan of furnishing food for those
who need it.

just so Belgium was right in securing
from England specific information as
TO whether in the event Of German IN
vasiOn she would send 100000 men or
100000 men.
If the recent documents published by
the Germans are authentic, this IS all
that a plain American can see OF the
question, and he would like TO be en-
!ightened by some authority if this
common sense view is not also good in
ternational law.
In regard TO DR.. Dernburg's state
ment of the German claw of necessity
would ask DR.. Dernburg and all
other Germans to look up an authority
higher than Grotius, higher even than
Jefferson; an authority TO which ms
Kaiser gives such fulsome adulation,
but an authority which Kaiser, rulers,
people, and supporters of Germany are
50 sadly ignoring in this instance, the
Word OF God.
If Dr. Dcrnburg will open his Bible
TO | Kings. xxi, he will read a story
which is the nearest analogy to the
treatment of Belgium by Germany that
any one can offer. Ahab, like Ger
many, wanted the vineyard OF Naboth
20 round out mis- Samaritan property,
as Germany coveted Belgium to secure
It's seaport of Antwerp. its mines and
manufactures. Naboth's refusal 70
part with his heritage angered the
great Ahab, as Belgiums refusal an
gered Germany. The German Jezebel
of Pan Germanism tempted the nation
10 make the conquest as the Queen Of
old prompted Ahab to consent to Ma
both's murder. and, to complete the
analogy, the moral sensibilities of the
world, like Elijah, the prophet Of Did,
now that Germany has killed and
taken possession" points the guilty
nation to the judgments of a just and
outraged God, VINO is just as much dis
pleased with this action of Germany m
1914, in turning @ fair, peaceable land
into place of woe and misery, as ever
the great Jehovah was angry with
Ahab, i'm the ninth century b. c., TOR
that murder ard robbery.
Let Us hope that in the near future
q Germany reclaimed, willing TO let
small nations live, willing to believe
that God has not chosen her to rule
and dominate through force of arms,
and in so doing bring such untold
misery to so many fellow men, VIII
repent, as did Ahab, before the rum
comes. JOSHUA l.. ROBINSON.
