Various Uses
for COrnStarCh
Interesting Facts Regarding This De-
iicious Food Product.

liciOus Food Product.
The average housekeeper would be
greatly surprised at the wide range
of uses developed for cornstarch IN
the preparation of various foods and
delicacies. In fact, it has become an
indispensable adjunct to present day
cooking. Every housekeeper, there
fore, should become thoroughly ia
miliar with its use.
For instance, in making pastry,
cakes, etc, by simply adding corn
starch to her regular bread flour in
the proportion of one part cornstarch
to three to five parts flour (according
to the amount of gluten in the bread
flour she is using) the housewife can
prepare pastry flour of the finest
quality-one which will insure a soft,
fine texture to the pastry, and elm
mate the tendency to toughness pre-
vaillng where straight wheat flour is
used.
Most pleasing results can also be
obtained by using cornstarch in the
making of custards, shortcakes, waf-
files, chocolate eclairs, and dozens of
other delicacies-but to insure the re-
suits desired, it is absolutely essential
that the best quality of cornstarch be
used. Housekeepers all over the
country who obtain the best results
with cornstarch recipes always depend
upon kingsford's. This brand is car
ried by all modern grocers, and costs
no more than ordinary kinds. Order
a package of Kingsford's TODAY, and
ask for their book of recipes.

into the narrow, unobtrusive wrist
strap of leather, which fastens as Sc

EDITORIAL,
THE RURAL CREDIT
PROBLEM

President Wilson is again urging
Congressman to establish a Rural
Credit system, and the agricultural
sections are demanding action.
1t Is of course possible that Illus
DRY hopes nave been held out to the
farmers of the low interest rates to
be secured under Rural Credits or
ganization. The fact that European
farmers borrow money for to per
cent in this way does not prove the
same thing can be done here. Inter-
est rates and labor have always been
low abroad. The machinery for such
an organization would cost more in
this country of higher salaries, and
the American investor gets a higher
rate on his money.
Still the American farmer is asses
sed a too high rate for his borrow
ings Loaning companies make too
much money Their service as in
termediary Is necessary to give the
borrower security that the property
is duly examined and supervised. But
many little companies are doing this
business on too small scale for an
economical result. Their charge for
their service Is too high.
The average lender on farm mort
cages probably gets about per cent.
If the business were standardized,
supervised, and consolidated, so that
a farm loan would look as good as a
railroad bond, the lender might be
satisfied with per cent. The bor-
rover would have to pay the inter-
medisry service of the Rural Credit
organization, and it is not likely that
he will pay less than per cent.
Some of the farmers, particularly
in the east, may get their loans now
for per cent. But the chances are
that tne majority pay to per cent
including commissions and discounts.
This is too much If this rate could
he lowered by Rural Credits organiz'
atoms, young men would be encour'
anCd to take up farming, and one
charge on food production reduced,

British Turn Over Princeton Student
Charged With international
Crime

New York, Nov. 2S.-Kenneth G.
Triest, the former Princeton student
who was arrested in Liverpool early
in January and held under a charge
OF espionage by the British arrived
here today on the steamer New York
in custody of his father, Wolfgang

to plead his sons case.
Mr.. Triest said that unknown to
him his son went to England and
enlisted in the British navy under
an assumed name.
While on board warsnip, COM
panion induced him, the father said,
to write letter to man in London
in which his son asked how he could
get to Germany. The letter was
intercepted and his arrest followed.
Mr.. Triest appealed to the state
department, declaring that his son
was not responsible for his acts, with
the result that the British agreed to
drop the case on condition that he
father come to England and bring
the boy home.

his son was delivered to his care

THE STUFF

The test Of man is the fight he
makes,
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and
takes
Fates numerous bumps and blows
A coward can smile when there's
naught to fear,
When othing his progress bars,
But It takes man to stand up and
cheer
While some other fellows stars.
It isn't the victory after all,
But the fight that brother makes;
The man, who driven against tho
wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows Of fate with his head held
high,
bleeding and bruised and pale,
Is the man who'll win in the by and
by,
For ne isn't afraid to fail,
It's the bumps you get and the jolts
you get
And the shocks that your courage
stands,

A Decline in
immigration

During the year ending June 30,
1915, coincident with first year OF
the war, immigration fell to 4,244,
or 49, per cent of the immigration
for the preceding year. During the
twelve months from August l, 1914
to July 81, 1915, immigration gradu-
ually slackened and fell to an aver
age of 32,444 per month, and the de-
cline still continues. In July, 1915
only 2l,504 we're admitted as compar-
ed with 6O,777 for July, 1914 "a de-
cline of Ga 4-10 per cent. The de-
cline for June, 1915, over June of
the previous year was 6S 4-lO per
cent.
For the present at least the Euro.
pean war mas solved the immigration
problem. At least 1t has solved 1t
in so far as the restrictionist is con-
cerned. And now the question is
being widely discussed as to what
will happen after the war; as to the
source from which the immigration
will come; as to the sex and charac-
ter and physical condition of the i'm
migration that comes to US. Are we
in danger of inundation by the weak
and helpless; by widows, children,
and dependent ones will our immi-
grafton officials be confronted with
those weakened by disease, exposure,
and wounds? Will the restless and
disconnected come to us because of
disclination to return to the dreary
life of the peasant and the worker;
will the burdens of taxation crush
the warning nations and make the
burden of life so heavy that men will
fee their native land to escape its
consequences? Will all Europe so
hate militarism that the people will
seek a land of peace and freedom
from its horrors, or will economic
and social conditions, the vacuum in
the labor market, the work of recon
struction, of rehabilitation, so in
crease wages that opportunity Will
keep the worker at nome? Finally
will the nations forbid emigration oil
