FOOTBALL GAME HALTS WAR
British and German Soldiers Fight on
the Gridiron-kaiser Upsets
the Schedule.

Berlin.-A general order issued by
the German army authorities prohibits
football games in the field between
German and English soldiers.
At Christmas time men from both
sides in the western theater of war
fraternized and played hotly-contested
games of football. Officers and men
laid aside their arms and watched the
players and cheered them on.
The rivalry became so intense that
val vas forgotten and the men who
kicked the most goals received more
applause than is usually given heroes
IN the fighting line.
At one place where the Germans
and British played the game vas a
draw and the players agreed to sus-
pend fighting for two days more in
order to decide the issue on two
games out of three.
News of this reached the military
authoritiec and it was decided that
football was interfering too much
with the business of warfare, aside
from the complications arising from
too friendly contact between the ad-
vance guards.
The order was issued forthwith and
there will be no more athletic con-
tests between the soldiers, who also
are forbidden to fraternize or meet on
any terms except those of bitter en-
nifty.

RAT WENT THROUGH THE WAR
Unusual Pet Was in Soldiers Pocket
During Hot Fights in

London.-Perhaps the only rat on
record that eve went through a mill
tary campaign, %ensconced snugly in
its soldier owners pocket. at the bat
tie of Mons, the Marine and the Aisne,
is now in London in the possession of
Sergeant Johnson of the Royal Yield
artillery. Johnson was wounded at
scissors and is on a few days leave.
Billy" as Johnson calls his rat,
though the latter is a lady, is pure
white, and was given to the English
soldier by a French girl at the begin
ming of the war During the battle of
Mons, the rat sat on her masters
right boot. Twice she wandered away,
but came back all right and was in
the fighting all the way from Mons to
Melun. southeast of Paris, and back
to the Marine and the Aisne. Billy
was in Sergeant Johnson's pocket all
the time and vas never hurt. When
the soldier landed at Southampton,
after he had been wounded by shrap-
mel, a lady who saw the white rat,
presented to Johnson a black terrier
pup name1 Toby to keep Billy COM
pany. The rat and the pup are now
close friends.

KEEPc DRAIN PIPES CLEAN
Arrangement That May Be of Home
Construction Has Been
Recommended.

A device for the kitchen sink that
has proved successful in keeping the
drain pipes clean is made of a wooden
frame and ordinary window screen.
Make a wooden frame, about two
inches high, just wide enough to fit
nicely into the sink, and not quite as
long as the inside of the sink. On
one end of this nail a board, covering
about half the length of the frame;
on the other end, on the opposite side,
nail a piece of wire window screen.
This device may be kept in the sink
always, the dishpan set on the wooden
part, and anything poured OF the other
part will be strained before reaching
the pipes. This may be easily cleaned.
and the wire screening renewed at
small expense, when worn through.
1t is better than the ordinary sink
strainer, as it covers the bottom of
the sink, and catches everything
thrown into it.-Holland's Magazine.

The Cook Says.

If your market basket or clothes
basket Of willow shows a few loose
ends, put it to soak for twenty min
utes or half an hour in lukewarm wa
ter.
A good way to do is to put the
basket into the bathtub. resting it on
the part that is to be repaired, then
turn IN enough water to soak this
part. The important thing is to get
the willow ends soft and pliable.
When this is accomplished the
strips can be readily bent back into
place, and if you push them in firmly,
they will stay in place when dry. New
er try to bend the willow strips while
they are dry, as they will be sure to
snap off.
A putty knife, with its short handle
and broad blade, is an indispensable
tool in the kitchen. 1t can be used for
turning hash, fritters and fish. It's
broad end is also most useful in scrap
ing pots. and pans.

PROPER COOKING OF MEATS
Various Treatments Necessary for
Their Effective Preparation for
the Table.

Fresh meats which are to be served
cold should be put to cook in a pot OF
boiling water and boiled hard for is
minutes, covered, then boiled gently
until tender throughout. The season
ings may be any combination of herbs
or vegetables desired. Salt and pep
per should be added when meat is
half done.
Salt meats take different treatment.
First soak ove night in plenty of
cold water. Then scrape and clean
the next day, and put them on to
cook in a pot of cold water.
Cook tongue very gently until the
small bones in the root can be easily

Basic frequently with two tablespoon
fuls of vinegar and a little boiling wa

pan. 1t is fine for frying potatoes,
hominy or rice. Save the ham skin
and use it to cover the ham under a

How the Tide Was Turned on the
Marine.
General Gallienl Hurls 10000 Men by
TaSicab Against German Flank
and Forces Retreat to
the Aisne,
BY FRANKLIN p. MERRIcK.
international News service.)


Paris.-It is not generally known
that the Battle of the Marine was won
by automobiles. General Gallieni had
400 taxicabs and other light motor cars
at his disposal. 1t will be remem-
bered that Won Kluck with the right of
the German army got as far as Cham
piley. General Gallieni, as military gov
ernor of Paris, had a large force, prob
ably half a million men, at his disposal
and he was responsible for the defense
of Paris.
Gallieni figured that he had more
men than he really needed and that
10000 of his men could be spared for
work at the front.
Acting entirely upon his own re-
sponsibility, he ordered his men to
crowd into the automobiles. He made
each taxicab carry nine soldiers. 1t
was a curious sight. There we're two
in each seat, two on the hood, one
with the driver and one on each run
ming board.
Within six hours he threw the whole
10000 against the flank Of the Ger
mans at Meaux, about thirty-fve miles
from Paris. Won Kluck evidently had
not reckoned with such a sortie. He
was forced to stop and give battle. The
French, retiring on his front, reformed
and gave battle. The result vas the
retreat of the Germans from Marine
to the Aisne after the ~sanguinary bat
tie named from the first river.
This is only one of the great exploits
of the French army automobile trans
port service. No other nation in this
war has used the motor car with the
effectiveness of the French. The auto
mobile transport service is organized
as a separate branch. Working with
amazing rapidity just after the begin
ming of the war, the French army off
GERS drafted into this corps men who
had been employed in automobile

Washington, D. C.-Europe's war is

ing maniacs, according to Maj. ]. J..
Dickinson of the state department,
who recently saw fighting in the
trenches near Scissors.
"They don't fire at each other" he
said, but the din of artillery directed
at the covered trenches is positively
maddening. Now and then / saw men
jump out Of the trenches and go at
each other with b~ayonets or in a mad
rush for each others threats.
From my position from trenches a
little behind the actual firing line l

They did not seem to be wounded.
They were screaming, raving maniacs,
driven insane by that maddening roar
of artillery overhead"

The Fresh Air Cure.

Plenty of fresh, pure air is an es-
sential part of a patients treatment.
Pure air is Just as important and
necessary for good health as are pure
food and pure water.
Fresh air and sunlight are the
cheapest and best agents for the re-
covery of an i'll person.
Let fresh air and sunlight enter
your sick rooms, through open win
dows as much as possible.
Expose the bed clothing to the open
air and sunshine for some time each
day.
Sleep with the bedroom windows
open, says nurse. The old supersti-
ton that night air is unhealthy even
for an invalid is entirely false. On
the contrary, night air, especially in
large cities, is purer and better than
day air, because it contains less dust
and fewer microbes.
To get the best ventilation have the
window open at both top and bottom.

SOME KITCHEN KINKS
METHODS THAT MAY BE NEW TO
MANY HOUSEWIVES.
Tiles Always Best When One Can
Afford Them-keeping the Dish
cloth Fresh-LinoIeum for the
Floor Covering.

Tiles are so clean and nice If one is
able to afford them. The young wife
who has them will never regret the
outlay, although they are rather ex-
pensive at the start. Round the kitch-
en- walls they are splendid and most
hygienic in every way.
The back of the sink is bound to get
spiashed with the washing up after
each meal. Therefore here it is es-
sential to have either tiles or zinc or
something of the kind through which
the water cannot penetrate. Zinc an
swers the purpose quite well if secure
ly nailed fiat against the wall. This is
easily cleaned daily with a little dry
brickdust.
The tiles, Of course, are ideal, as
all they need is a washdown with
warm water daily.
A little enamel basket is so useful
in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely
to go down the sink and eventually
stop it up. 1t is shaped so that 1t fits
into the corner of the sink, perforated
with holes, so that all liquid passes
away, leaving the solid bodies in the
basket.
Nothing is more unpleasant than a
greasy dishcloth. To keep this inn
portant article fresh and sweet, it
should be scalded each time after use,
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed we'll in several wa
tiers.
A'plate rack fixed above the sink is
a great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed in hot, If you do
not want them to be smudgy.
When roasting meat, use a double
meat tin. Put cold water in the under
one. This prevents the dripping burn
ing and also keeps it from boiling
away.
Plenty of hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in a
jug of hot water. Pile up the plates
neatly. A little arrangement saves
the muddle n so often sees in con-
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water. Rinse glass in cold water after
washing in hot and polish well with a
dry, clean cloth.
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
Inlaid linoleum is the best to pur-
chase. Here the pattern goes right
through and therefore will be perfect
to the last.
Clean you windows when the sun
is not shining, for if the sun shines
on a wet window no amount of rub
bling will prevent it from being streaky
when dry. Avoid a frosty day, too,
as the glass is apt to break easily
then. Dust the windows thoroughly.
Wash the glass with a sponge wrung
out in tepid water with a few drops
of ammonia in it. Dry with a clean
cloth with no fluff on it). Polish
with pads of newspaper.

officers showed signs of displeasure at
the use of English by their neighbors,
but the latter took no notice OF the
annoyance of the Germans and a
tinued their talk.
Finally the Germans could stand it
no longer and one of the officers arose
and approaching the table at which
the strangers were sitting said: II will
be obliged II you will stop talking in
English; 1t ~displeases and annoys me-
One OF the men thereupon asked
