Sidelights on the European War

10 life. writes II. II. Windsor in Popu-
lar Mechanics magazine. A great
planting is in progress. In the south
much of it has already been done, and
like a vast wave is sweeping from
gulf to lakes. Probably never in our
history have so many acres been
plOwed and planted as this year. for
we have not only ourselves but other
lands to feed. We look and hope for
an unprecedented yield. That's en-
cour1 ging-
The steel mills have sent out the
welcome news, and thousands OF
workmeu who have been idle all win.
ter now hasten each morning toward
the goal of their dependence. Not all
are needed vet, by any means, but the
number is increasing every wees.
That helps
The shelves OF the country dealer
are as nearly empty as possible; so
are the storage rooms of the whole
saler and jobber. Yet they have been
able TO weather the gale, for the fail
ures have been remarkably few In
number; there is no Initiation IN meF-
chandising. and once the tide turns, as
days, the wires VIII almost melt with
the @.antic appeals to hurry up orders
and shipments. The factories viii be
working night and day and the wheels
Of commerce will merriIy turn again.
All this is no dream. but the i1eyit-
a. ;e. Some unforeseen cog may slip
and occasion some DELAY but signs
surely DO point to a splendid resump-
ton Of business from now on. That's
promising
What's the matter with us. anyway?
Big crops for two years and nov war
time prices for grain and the money
pilfng up in the banks. The deposits
in Chicago banks alone increased $9o.-
00a.000 the first six weeks in 1913 We
are better off than We know stronger
than we realize. We have not lost our
skill, nor initiative. nor vitality We're
scared. We are like a lot of people
at a funeral: the service is over, its
time TO go. everybody wants 20 leave
and each hesitates to be the first 10
start. The buy now" and the build
it now" and a lot Of do it nows" are
all right. While our sympathies for
Others in distress naturally depress US,
il is time to rise above our fears. and
with firm hands and brave hearts
march confidently out into our future
and our destiny. And do things.

London. Correspondence OF The As
ISOLATED Press. Jam is one of the
most important articles in the diet OF
the British soldier Notwithstanding
the ridicule TO which il is subjected,
/ particularly by German humOrists.
Jam. saws Professor James Long has
three and a half hines the energy
value Of butter Its value lies in its
richness in sugar-of which one half
its weight COnsists-in the minerals
present in the skins of fruit, in its
laxative character and its mechanical
aid TO digestion Besides it is tooth
some and gives a relish to army diet
that by its mental effect goes far in
the maintenance of health. No bet
ter varient could be found for a diet
limited to simple foods.
The professor points out the fauack
of the popular belief that all sugars
are alike In jam it partakes OF the
nature OF sugar Of fruit. Unlike the
beet and cane sugar of commerce. the
sugar of fruit has a remarkable effect
on nutrition Commercial sugar, if
eaten TOO freely, causes irritation. ac-
idity and other freaks OF indigestion.
When the same sugar is employed in
jam, IL partakes largely of the nature
of fruit sugar and its i'll effects largely
disappear. This is particularly true
of the "invert sugar" of Jam that has
been well boiled. Invert sugar Is due
10 the united action Of heat and fruit
acids.
The most nutritious and useful vat
rieties of jam are those made from
plum. apricot, gooseberrv and currant.
but a mixture of plum and apple stand
al the head of the list.
Berlin, pondence of The As
ISOLATED Press. The process Of clear
ing out all foreign elements from the
German language has now been ex-
tended TO the vocabulary OF sports A
long list Of words, mainly English,
has been made up by the committee
in charge of this reform. and Germans
from all parts of the country have
been invited to make suggestions for
German equivalents for these words.
Some alterations have been already
accepted. among them being: for
steeplechase. "hindernisrennen": for
start. "auhahren"; for handicap.
'ausgleichrennen" for maiden race.
''rennen fur siegiose pferde."
Such words as cricket and gold, II
is admitted. present difficulties. as
do all the terms connected with those
two games. The trouble is to find ex-
pressious. without too much Length,
which viii accurately say what is
meant. But the greatest difficulty OF
all is with the word sport itself.
As children and adults. We look for
ward to the coming of spring with re-
newed hope. Even though the autumn
means the gathering of harvests the
fulfillment OF hopes. a something ac-
it does not afford that re-
newed action and awakening to effort
that the softening breezes. gentle
showers and mild skies of Snring call l

CHORUS

CHORUS:
old Zeke Perkins bought au automo-

Old zeke Perkins whiskers were red.
Old Zebe Perkins lost the oombina-
ton
And the darn little Ford kept chug-
sing right ahead.
Zeke ierked on the levers ana ne turn

He kicked az the pedals and he broke
out the glass
He cut all the wires, and he pulled OF
the top.
But the gosh darned Ford it Just
wouldn't stop
He pulled out his knife and he smiled
so serene,
Cut hole in the tank. drained out the
gasoline
He pulled out his gun. shot the tires
full OF lead.
But the col dsrned Ford kept chugging
right ahead
Went right through the fence and up
through the lane;
Mirandy saw him coming and she like
TO went insane.
she ran out ahead. then she stopped
10 see.
And the Ford struck her squarely where
the hustle ought TO be.
She reached out her arm as she went
in the air.
Just as Zeke went by she grabbed him
by the hair;
She bounced on the seat. landed down
in the bed.
And the gol darned Ford kept chugging
right ahead.
He steered for the shed. but just miss
ed the hole.
Struck an old pig and you ought to see
"a roll.
Out through the yard then they landed
in a heap.
In a big muddy pool bout six feet
deep.
Zeke grabbed Mirandy and waded for
the shore.
lie was glad that It stopped and
wouldn't go no more.
He pricked up his ears then he looked
back and said;
Why. the soi darned Ford is chug-
ging right ahead"
