Amsterdam. - Correspondence of
The Associated Press. )-Advices from
Brussels say life there has become al
most normal, and Sundays find the us
ual crowds in the cafes and on the
boulevards. Only a few German troops
remain in the city. German postage
stamps are now sold in the post Offices,
and the names of the railroad stations
and public buildings have been Ger
manized. Some classes of municipal
officials have been compelled to sign
contracts which make them German
subjects for period of six months.
Most of the shops are open, but
money is scarce. The troops pay cash
for everything they buy. German com
mercial travellers are busy offering
their wares to the shopkeepers.
Copenhagen.-(Cor of
The Associated Press. 1.-The demand
that the terms of peace, when made.
shall be in plain language which the
common people of the various coun-
tries can understand, is voiced by Herr
Won Heydebrand leader of the con
sentative party in Germany, in an ad-
dress which has just reached Germans
here. Won Heydebrand is quoted as
saying:
1T is a matter of wonder to many
how it has become possible for Ger
many 10 be so alone in the world, and
there is a feeling that German diplo-
matte ability could have been more
pronounced When the terms of peace
come TO be considered, we shall not
allow these terms to become involved
in sort of complicated diplomatic
art, but they should be put into Ian
guage which the common people can
understand and are agreed upon"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.


Two-month-old infants should never
be bathed on the front porch in this
weather.
If doughnuts become stale, don't
throw them away. They can be used
for necktie holders, curtain rings, or
to set hot dishes on.
Faded silks may be restored in color
by immersing them in the juice of a
peanut
To remove the whisk broom taste
from a New England boiled dinner,
pour kerosene and moth balls into the
pot before serving.
When whisking an egg, hold latch
key in the left hand. This will prevent
the yolk of the egg from getting impu
dent in case IT is bad.
Fur caps should be given a sham
poo at least once a month with oil Of
cloves. Dry with a linen buster and
all dandruff will disappear.
Goldfish will live much better in
iced tea II fed on mustard seed.
Warts on the back of the neck
should never be disturbed. If allowed
to grow they make very handy collar
buttons.
Good old-fashioned pie can be made
by placing apples between two crusts
of dough.
When eating noodles be sure and
have fishing net in your lap.
For the dining room strong furni-
ture is cheapest in the end, as the
table has to support 50 much limburg-
er cheese.
Cuffs cut from old shirts can be
used 20 skim grease from soups and

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts
if Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority. who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained
in the blood to poison the entire sys-
tenn.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging you to seek relief
we're headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so 1t is no
longer source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.-Advertisem

PLAN SAMPLE ORDERS
PRIOR To CONTRACTS
All Future Equipment Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Must Be Up
to Specifications

With a view to getting future equip
ment strictly UP to specifications, sam
pie orders in the future will precede
all contracts from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. This plan is now
being followed in the orders for rails.
Five firms to-day are manufacturing
sample orders Of rails for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. Two thousand tons
each are being made by these firms,
with PENNSYLVANIA Railroad chemists
at work in each plant carefully analyZ-
ing the ingots and the rails after the
ingots are rolled. Reports of these
tests are being sent to the purchasing
department. and based upon these re-
ports contracts are to be awarded.
According to the statement of an
official. contracts will no longer be
given to such-and-such a firm simply
because it is such -and-such a firm, but
awards Will be made according to bids
received for the material which has
been turned out on the sample orders.
In addition when the awards are made
chemists will he continued at the
plants and the same tests will be made
as were made during the manufacture
of the sample orders.
In this manner it is believed that
the railroad company will receive bet
ter rails than ever before and will at
the same time receive them at a lower
price than has been paid in the past.
The rails which are now being made
on the test orders are of the 10O-pound
style.
The plants which have been given
trial orders of 1000 tons each are:

Showing How the Cloth
Makes Up Into a Suit

y new device of special value to
custom tailors has been invented and
is now being shown in Harrisburg for
the first time. A frame large enough
for an aVerage-siZed man has the
panel cut out the exact shape of a
mans suit. Upon another section that
fits into the cut-out panel the cloth is
draped and the outer panel covers all
fabric except that which is outlined
in the shape of a suit. Wires are 50
arranged as TO give the effect of seams
and pockets, and buttons attached so
as to give the appearance of a finished
suit. The head, hands and feet are
painted on outer panel so as to give
the impression of fashion model
dressed in the latest style. This makes
It possible for man about to select q
