In the thirtieth chapter of Gene

foxy trick on his father-in-law. La
ban. In order to increase his wage
in speckled and spotted goats, "Ja-
cob,' IL says, took him rods of green
poplar and of the hazel and chest
nut trees, and piled white streaks
in them, and made the white appear
which was in the rods And he set
the rods which he had piled before
the flock. in the cutters. in the wa
tering-troughs, when the flocks came
TO drink, that they should conceive

focks conceived before the rods and

Jacob laid the rods before the eyes
of the cattle in the cutters. that they
intFht conceive among the rods. But
when the cattle were feeble he put
them not in; so the feebler were La
bans and the stronger jacobs La
ban had not treated Jacob fairly and
p2ssibly Jacob felt that the blessing
ON God was pretty sure to be youch-
safed to him in ehis clever trick.
But nevertheless modern science
has made us absolutely certain that
the rods had nothing to do with the
result of the offspring of Laban's
coats. Modern science has. estab-
lished the accuracy of Mendels Law

now BEING HIGHLY PRAISED

Berlin, oct. 30. Food prices con-
tinue to soar, and it is no exaggera-
tion to say that practically the whole
German people are now on short ra-
tions, but to their honor be 1t said
that individually they bear the hard
ships imposed upon thcn by the war
in the most wonderful manner.

day. have failed to hear single
complaint. Everybody realizes that
Germany is struggling for her very
existence. and that all hardships
must be cheeffully borne.
The press, however. is less reti-
cent. Catholic paper all over Ger
many are loudly complaining of the
high prices of food They describe
the economic situation in terms a
little less bitter perhaps than the
Socialistic press. but none the less
eloquent. Great changes have taken
place in the mode of living in Ger
many, as may be gathered from the
extracts of housekeeping book pub
lished by Catholic paper in West
phalia.
During the months of June one
family had only once II supper of po-
tatoes and coffee. In 1914 1T had
meat for supper seven times; in
June this year it had no meat at all.
This family has had to abandon
cocoa. In June, 1914. bread was
eaten with every meal: this year the
family had bread only four times.
The consumption of sugar has had
to be reduced. II has fallen from
16 pounds to s pounds.
Another family used l6 gallons OF
milk in June. 1914; In June of the
present year the quantity consumed
was only five gallons.
The Catholic journal laments that
there IS lack of meat and of every
thing that is appetizing and nourish-
ing. Meals are monOtonous and ia
tiguing. The body suffers even in
cases where there is a sufIiciency of
nutritive substances. The family
lives. but at the expense of its
health.
II is fact that the young gener-
alton is being underfed, which wor-
ries Germans more than anything
else, and almost daily you see in the
papers appeals to parents to stint
themselves as much as possible in
order to give their children sufficient
food.
The war has opened the eyes of
the average German in regard to the
virtues of the German women, whom
he hitherto was inclined to look
upon as rather inferior being,
whose sphere was rightly defined by
the Kaiser as being that of the three
KS (kirche, kinder, kueche-church
children. kitehen).
Now the entire press is singing
the praise of the German woman
and even a conservative, old-fashion-
ed paper like the Deutsche Tagszeit-
ung says
"The degree of a nations culture
depends on the character of its wom-
en- and the woman of Germany en-
