She Knows What She Wants

The we'll informed housekeeper
Insists upon using only baking
powder which s made Of cream Of
tartar. She might read in an
advert isement or be told that alum
and lime phosphate, which are
used as inferior substitutes in
cheap baking powders, were all
right in the quaint tiles used but
she would not buy them or permit
them to enter her kitchen. WhyP
Because she knows that cream
OF tartar has always been accepted
as the most wholesome agent, with
soda, for raising cake and bis4
cult, and she wants a baking
powder made Of cream Of tartar,
like Royal.
This conclusion is the result
Of unconscious absorpt ion, either
her own or her mother's, Of the
opinions Of the highest authori-
ties on hygiene and home cooking.
The prudent housekeeper, when
she uses baking powder, reads the
names Of the ingredients printed
on the label. She knows what she
wants.

URGE GERMAN FARMERS
TO RAISE MORE SUGAR
Kaiser'S Agriculturists Say Grain
Supply Is Now Plentiful.

Berlin, Dec. 24.-The Prussisn Min
istry Of Agriculture has issued an APP
peal 20 farmers 20 increase their acre
age Of sugar beets. The appeal says
that year ago farmers were urged
70 restrict the beet area and plant
more grain because u seemed uucer-
tain whether Germany would have a
sufficient supply Of grain. and because
foreign sugar markets were closed TO
Germany. Now, however, this situa
ton is wholly changed.
II mas been proved. the ministry
states, that Germany is able by eco
monte methods and with some foreign
assistance 20 meet her own require
ments for grain, whereas the large in
crease in sugar consumption hes been
feature OF the last twelve months,
the people eating more sugar as a sub
stitute for fat. Much sugar has been
used in making preserved fruits, much
has been sent 70 the front in chocolate
for the soldiers, and large quantities
have been fed 20 live stock
Other reasons suggest the necessity
for Increasing the beet crop, the MIN
istry says. The molasses from he
sugar mills has proved the most valu-
able horse feed at the front, and Is be-
coming the chief article OF feed. Fur
thermore, factories are springing up
which will use molasses as basis for
producing a newly invented feed yeast
for animals. This is another circum-
stance that the ministry reckons will
further increase the demand for sugar
molasses.

REFORM OF FRENCH
JUDICIARY PROPOSED
Viviani Bill Would Substitute
Single Judge for Groups.

Paris, Dec PA bill aiming at the
radical reform OF the French judiciary
was presented in the Chamber of Dep
uties to-day by Minister or Justice
Viviani.
The bill provides for the substitu-
ton Of single judges for the present
system Of one Judge, with two judge
assessors in grave or doubtful cases.
However, a Judge would be entitled
TO call in a colleague in purely ad-
visory capacity, the judge being alone
responsible for judgment.
II is further proposed 70 adopt a
modified circuit system, the existing
359 loca! courts being grouped around
1913 judicial centres whence judges
would be sent periodically. The com
position Of the appeal courts would be
reduced from FIVE 10 three. but the
Cessation courts would remain I'M
changed. In correctional cases OF eI-
ceptional gravity judge might have
the assistance Of several citizens,
drawn by lot from jury lists. in con-
sidering the penalty TO be inflicted
II is stated that the bill would eff
feet a great economy by reducing the
number of judges, Of whom there are
nearly 5000. and at the same time
make possible substantial increase
in salary. Further, the authority OF
the judges would be strengthened by
the greater responsibilities and
mowers given them.

Paris Christmas Is One
of War, Not Rejoicing
H., EREn L. pITNEN
BY FRED Il. PITNEY


Paris. Dec. 24.-Christmas IL very
tame festival in Paris this year-no
revelry. no music, no general rejoicing
Several restaurants asked permission

the police refused, and all places have
70 close at the usual hour, 1880, and
the city will be dark and the streets
deserted. rs on any other day.
The big stores have been crowded for
days, but few expensive presents were
bought. II was noticeable That most
purchases were gifts for soldiers. eN-
cent. Of course, some toys for children,
which mostly take warlike form and
At that the sales Of toys were nothing
like those Of former years.
Beginning this week, the police de-
cided % allow the familiar booths 70
be set up on the boulevards, and that
gave almost the only familiar touch 20
the Paris Christmas week. But II still
takes a sad touch, for the booths were
reserved for widows and orphans Of the
soldiers. and az least third were not
taken, while those which have opened
make poor show. There rs very
noticeable lack Of crowds around them.
Then. Of course. there are the christ
mas distributions for the wounded 10

On all sides IL rs plain that this Is a
war Christmas a Christmas Tor the
soldiers and the wounded, not popu-
lar festival Of rejoicing.

SEES BIG INDEMNITY
OUT OF QUESTION
British Expert Thinks Germany
Could Never Pay in Gold, but
Might Rebuild Belgium.

London, Dec. 24.-"The exaction Of a
large indemnity as q part OF the terms
of peace in the present war is, ] be-
heve. out OF the question" declares
Joseph King. member of Parliament
from Somerset. who has figured in the
House Of Commons for the last FIVE
years as an expert on economic ques-
tions.
Mr. King assumes that the Entente
powers will be the victors, but he in
sists that they have little to gain from
an effort 10 extract indemnity from
Germany and her allies.
"The imposition of an indemnity ~
very complicated and difficult ques-
ton 70 decide he says. ANY indem-
nifty commensurate with the range and
losses Of this war must be taken at a
huge figure. Five billion dollars, a
sum less than the British Parliament
has already voted for the war, may be
taken as the lowest figure likely to be
named. Now, to pay $4,000 900, 900 from
one side TO another ia impossible IN

made, the immediate result would only
be 20 initiate prices immensely in the
country receiving the gold. Prices be

IN the volume of trade, manufactures
or commodities, would mean intense
privatlon 70 the poor and complete
upset Of commerce.
Tf Germany has TO pay a large in
demnity she cannot do it by shipments
Of gold. nor by transferring debts due
her, nor by creating fresh debts. She
can pay only by her commerce or pro-
ductive industry. If her manufactur-
ing and shipping and trading houses
could be started at once in full swing
Immediately the war ends, she might
soon be paying off indemnity. But her
men will be gone, her credit vanished,
her system overturned. The possibility
of paying under these conditions seems
remote.
az Germany's wonderful productivity
and trading enterprises are to be re-
vived after the war 70 pay indemnities
20 her enemies. IL means that her enc
mics will have TO trade with her far
more than they did before the war.
Writers who have .tudied the sub
iect are agreed that nation which
proves victorious in war may with
profit and advantage impose money
indemnity on the vanquished only un-
der very exceptional circumstances, and
three conditions are requisite: the ma
tion paying the indemnity must be very
wealthy; il must be immeasurably
weaker in military strength than the
victor, and the war must be of short
duration.
"There is one possible way, however,
In which the equivalent Of an indem-
nifty might figure in the Allies peace
terms. Why not require Germany TO
supply so many tons Of steel. cement,
timber. stone. bricks, for rebuilding
devastated Belgium? Why not agree
20 trading conventions that would al
low the Allies the benefit Of mutual
trade and commerce? Why not get GER
tain advantages over land routes be-
tween the west of Europe and Russia
across Germany? The object Of these
would not be. like that of an indem-
nifty, 10 disarm and weaken the van
quished. but it would be possible pol
icy TO arrange trade or services on
terms which would obviously be ad-
vsntageous 20 the victors."
