 The German armies at present, therefore, do not number more than five million and half soldiers. More than one third Of these before the war tel6nged to the land sturm; and 65 per lcent of men declared unfit rc> military service, numbering about 3G,000 annually, have been called to the colors.
 Germany" Abbe Wetterle says, Undoubtedly has been able to mobi- lize also between 100000 and 100000 of her subjects abroad, and by max ing use of female labor in the fac- tories oan even greater extent than et present. she will be able to see a C responding number Of men to the fl onts, but these will not be able e make up for the losses. which amount to more than 100000 month.
 It is. therefore, quite reasonable to conclude that in this war the Ger man empir: has arrived at the ex- ;reme limit 1f it's power of resis- lance. Very shortly it will not be atle to fill the gaps which death causes in the ranks of the so1Siers. It's complete military exhaustion is approaching.
 This fact explains Germany's ap- peal for peace. The fact is that Berlin knows that if the war lasts 9 few months longer, Germany must a.mit herself defeated. even if she has not lost single great battle in the meantime The conference be- tween English, French, Italian and Russian statesmen who have all ex- pr essed their firm determination to carry on the war have aroused a eh orus of interminable lamentions in the German press.''

 Manufacturers of platinum jewelry may have tc shut up shop after the first of the year because they can not get the raw material.
 Three months ago the metal was selling at $41 an ounce. Now It IS about $1OO an ounce and only smatl ouantities can be obtained even at that figure.
 Almost no platinuin' is being i'm ported. It is reported that s3O0,oo) worth was recently received from the French government consigned 'o large muniticn plant for use in war materials. bu. so strict is the em- bargc for commercial purposes that rot only the jewelry trade but other industries, including manufacturers of electric. chemical, ph3tographlc' dental and surgical supplies, are feel ing the shortage to a marked degree Thousands of cid sets of false teeth have been broken up to secure the platinum pegs used in their construc- ton.
 Many manufacturers in Maiden Lane remember when they bought the metal for $5 to $1O an ounce, but that was just after the civil war.

A choice between a second auto

j L. Stork. Hermiston blacksmith.
and he chose the latter alternative,
according to the testimony OF the
plaintiffs in the case on trial yester-
day of Emry & Giese VS.. ]. L. Stork.
The jury in the case evidently ap-
proved OF his choice for the verdict
was in his favor. The plaintiffs con-
tended that they sold a second hand
car to Mr.. stork and that he gave a
note protected by a chattel mortgage
in payment Two days later he re-
turned with the statement that his
wife told him that II he took the car
he needn't come home. At any rate
he didn't take the car. The plaintiffs
we're trying to collect upon the note
and the defendant contended that he
had never received the car and there
fore had not received any valuable
consideration for the note.

seryInn Ambition Grows.

ROME, Jan. 14.-Contrary to state
ments that have appeared in the
newspapers OF London, Paris and Ber-
lin that an understanding has prac-
tically been reached about the servian
outlet to the Adriatlc Sea, It is said
in Servian official quarters here that
this will not now satisfy Servia.
1t is declared that such a conces-
sion would have been satisfactory two
years ago. when the subject was dis
cussed at the London conference, but
that now, after a war in which her
life and independence were risked,
Servla could not accept a port or a
strip Of coast. What she now claims,
It is said, are the seryian regions pos
sessed by Austria, including Bosnia,
Herzegovina and Dalmatia. which
must be assigned to her through the
principle Of neutrality.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
ing in Memory or in Con-
venent Book.

Dark calicoes should be ironed on
the wrong side with irons that are not
too hot The raveled threads from old
linen will be found best for darning
tablecloths or napkins.
To remove automobile grease or any
dark, heavy grease from washable fab
ric rub on small piece of butter and
rub in well, then wash with soap and
rinse and the oil and grease will have
disappeared.
The turkey need not be sewed after
the dressing has been put in. Insert
toothpicks on either side and string
back and forth over the picks. This
is easily removed after the bird is
cooked.
1t should be a matter of common
knowledge, since flour is always with

is the best extinguisher to throw over

The housewife who knows that egg
darkens silver is often at a loss to ac-
count for the stains that occur when
she has not used egg. The sulphur
which causes the blackening Of silver
is abundant in other substances be-
sides eggs, particularly in cabbage,
rubber OF all kinds, hair leather and
white paper. Rubber gloves, elastic
bands and the mats commonly used in
sinks often darken silver. Silver
should be placed in drawers or cases
lined with colored paper, cloth or vel
vet, as the white materials have COM
monty been bleached with sulphur

whv Ncu Sneeze

There is more than one cause for
sneezing, and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to
sneeze, the pollen of certain plants
will affect others, and most people
are likely to sneeze in the presence of
dust. Such s1eezing is due to super
ficial irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect of
cold is different. 1t is an attempt Of
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-to help
relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold Is not an
act of the nose alone this being mere
ly the part of the body where it ex-
plodes. It is an act of the entire body,
during which every muscle gives a
jump. The body is affected by
spasmodic effort to warm the entire
system and throw off the cold.

GUARD AGAINST CALF SC0URS
Trouble Caused by Deranged Dges-
tive Organs, Which in Turn May
Be Due to Dirty Pals.

Perhaps many farmers were troubled
last summer with calf scours. This
trouble is caused by deranged diges-
tive system, which in turn may be
caused by various conditions. Chief
among them and one that can readily
be guarded against is unclean feeding
pals.
Another common cause is a change
from sweet to sour milk or vice versa.
The milk should be either sweet or
sour. Souring or half-sour milk often
brings on scours.
Feed the calves regularly. A little
bran or crushed grain, fed dry, imme-
diately after their milk, is desirable.
Successful herdsmen claim that a
tablespoonful of pure dried blood
mixed with the milk at each feeding
is partially effective in preventing and
in relieving cases of scours. Four
tablespoonfuls Of castor oil every two
days until the trouble disappears is
one of the most valuable remedies for
scours.-Press Bulletin, Ohio State
University.

Plum Pie.

This pie is much like the English
tarts and very delicious. Line the
sides of pudding dish with rich pas
try, and fill with halved and pitted
plums, scattering plenty of sugar be-
tween the layers. Cover with top
crust in which you have cut several
Sits and pinch the edges together
closely. Make an ornament of leaves
from the pastry to decorate the top
of the pie. Then bake slowly till the
plums are we'll done. If the pie browns
too quickly cover it with paper for a
short time, after putting in the oven.
