WOULD NEED 294 SUBMARINES
Germans Would Require That Num-
ber to EffectuaIIy Blockade
All British Ports.

Assuming that the German subma-
cines are based at Zeebrugge, the time
required for the passage to and from
blockading stations off the ports of
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
overhauling at the base between trips
may be estimated at six days, and the
time which may be spent at sea be-
tween visits to the base cannot we'll
exceed twenty days. Consequently it
would be impracticable to maintain
more than about half of the total force
of submarines on blockading stations.
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts of England, Scotland, and
Wales which it would be necessary for
the German submarines to blockade if
all supplies are to be cut off.
An effective blockade Of any port
could scarcely be maintained in the
face of defensive operations, which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines. and double that number
would be none too many. If the min
imum number of three boats be al
lowed for each port, the Germans
would require at least lat constantly
on station to close all the ports Of
Great Britain; that is. allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essential overhaul
ing period, the total force should be
294 submarines.-World's Work.

KITCHEN HINTS OF MOMENT
Proper Receptacles for the Preserva-
ton of Food-Meat When Roast
Ing Should Be Kept Covered.

Everybody does not know that food
in general should not be allowed to
cool in tin, copper or iron. 1t must be
placed while hot in agate, china or
we'll glazed eathen ware.
Green vegetables should be dropped
into boiling water to which pinch Of
bicarbonate of soda has been added.
Put in salt when the article is half
cooked.
If you have covered a pan in which
meat is to be roasted never open it to
baste the meat. Keep it covered from
start to finish. The idea is that the
pans are filled with steam, which pene-
trates the fibers of the meat. If de-
sired to brown the outside leave the
cover off for the first half hour in a
quick oven.
The shank bones of mutton, of so
little general value, if we'll soaked add
to the richness of gravies and soup
stock.
When boiling haricot beans or dried
limas do not put in the salt until they
are nearly cooked, otherwise they are
apt to split and come out of their
skins. They should be brought to the
boiling point, that water poured off
and fresh boiling water poured over
them.

PRAYERS for Horses.

Marcus Horton, author of the re.
Gently published novel, Bred of the
Desert"-the story of a horse and his
owner-has approached i- fiction what
the Russians have done in fact. He
recognizes the great service Of the
horse to man in peace and makes one
of his characters repeat an imaginary
prayer of the horse to his master. The
Russians have put into their war lit
urgy the following petition for horses:
"And for those also, o Lord, the
humble beasts, who, with us, bear the
burden and heat of the day, and offer
their guiltless lives for the well-being
of their countries, we supplicate thy
great tenderness of heart. For thou
hast promised to save both man and
beast, and great is thy loving kind
ness. Lord have mercy!"

Get Rich Slowly.

The American Bankers association,
through its savings bank section. Is
circulating some facts that the Herald
is very glad to pass along, because
they emphasize and enforce the
strength and possibilities of personal
thrift
1t is no "get-rich-quick" scheme the
bankers offer. But if any experience
in life is proved, it is that "get-rich-
quick" schemes do not work. They
work just often enough to prove the
rule, and to prove the companion rule
that nothing is appreciated, nothing
does any good. that is not worked for
and earned. Riches gained quickly are
lost quickly.
The plan proposed by the bankers is
based on this proposition: That if a
man earning $40 a week saves S. a
week he can double his income by the
end of 20 years; and, of course, he
will be increasing it all the time

GOES THROUGH THE MOTIONS
But Smokers Will Wonder How That
TobaccoIess Pipe Must Taste
to Him.

M Maeterlinck is among those who
have freed themselves from the band
age of tobacco by means of curious
artifce. According to his biographer,
M. Gerard Harry, without the help
of tobacco he seemed incapable of re-
ceiving inspiration or crystallizing it
in words. If he has not overcome the
need, he has outnanked it. Smoking,
he noticed, had lost its virtue as
stimulant. and instead of rousins the
brain to activity, as at first, had come
to disturb it's functions; SO now, in
lieu of ordinary tobacco, he fills his
bowl with denicotinized preparation,
tasteless indeed. but harmless. His
pipe is still always alight when the
pen is busy, but it is hardly more now
than a mere subterfuge intended to
cheat and so satisfy an irresistible
mechanical craving. g."-London Chron-

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-

The experience of Motherhood is . try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it il over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

AIR NEEDED IN ICE BOX
Provision for Proper Circulation Is as
Much Necessity as Supply of
Cooling Material.

It is astonishing how little the aver
Some women seem to think all there
is about ice is to have the man put it
in the refrigerator Others, more care
full, think to save the ice bill by put
ting some kind of covering over the
ice
True, the ice does not melt so quick
ly with the cover, but then again, since
it does not melt, it has no cooling eff
feet. Unless ice melts it is useless.
The faster it melts the colder the ice
box becomes.
The most important feature of a
good refrigerator is ample facility for
a free circulation of air when the box
is closed. Cool air, being heavier than
warm air, sinks. The warm air rises.
For this reason the coldest place in
the refrigerator is the bottom and not
the ice chamber, as so many people
think it is and consequently often put
butter or milk directly in with the ice.
There must be suitable passages to
things placed in the refrigerator to
flow to and over the ice at the top, and
for this same air when cooled and
purified by the melting ice, to return
into the food chamber
The circulation continues until the
temperature is equalized. While this
circulation proceeds the ice melts
rapidly, but when the temperature Is
once equalized the ice melts very
slowly, that is, if the door fits tight.
1t will pay in the end to keep the Ice
compartment we'll supplied with ice.
It should never be less than one-quar-
ter full. The ice melts faster, and
with less cooling effect, when the sup
ply is low.

Whipping Cream Should Be Col


Often the housewife finds that the
cream she has will not whip. The de-
partment's dairy specialists point out
that to obtain satisfactory results in
whipping cream it should be cold and
of the right thickness, containing
about 80 per cent or more of butter
fat. Ordinary cream, designated as
coffee cream by the trade, is alto
gether too thin to give good results.
The whipping cream, as delivered by
the milkman, contains so to 40 per
cent of butterfat Thoroughly chill
the cream before whipping by placing
1t in a covered bowl on the ice. The
whipping process is also aided and
hastened by standing the bowl in a pan
of ice water.

HUMAN LIFE LIGHTLY HELD
Society Formerly Made Little or No
Provision to Protect Its
Members.

The value of life has f1uctuated
greatly in the different periods of the
worlds history. To the Spartans life
was cheap. The highest duty was to
be a soldier; the greatest honor was
to give away life for the state. Ma
poleon estimated the thousands Of lives

would cost, and he marched on, sac
rificing them. Life had little value.
Under Henry VIII, death was the pun
ishment for stealing three shillings;
there were 253 crimes punishable by
death; $4,000 persons were executed
in his reign.

has changed.
Smallpox and yellow fever, for ages
the two dreaded horrors of mankind,

MaeterIinck,s First Failures.

M. Maurice Maeterlinck began his
literary career with three apparent
failures, says the London Chronicle.
The first was the founding of a lit
erary review, which quickly went
under; the second the publication Of
a volume of poems, which failed to
attract attention, and the third was
the issue of play, La Princesse Ma
leine," of which he printed just twen-
ty-five copies with his own hands and
gave them away.
A year later chance brought copy
of the play into the hands Of M. Oc-
tave Mirbeau, who wrote glowing
eulogy Of it in LIE Figaro, and Mae
terlinck awoke one morning to find
himself famous.

Donaldina Cameron is honored with

called the Little Mother" Miss Cam
eron has been doing rescue work
among the Chinese Of California for
nearly twenty years, and during that
time has rescued 1900 girls ranging
in age from little tots given away or
sold as slaves by their parents or
natural guardians to grown girls who
had fallen into the clutches Of high
binders.
She has gone at midnight into the
farthest corners of the rookeries that
were the Chinatown of old San Fran
cisco. She has chopped down doors,
crawled on her hands and knees along
secret passages, and in several in
stances rescued at the point of the
pistol the miserable slave girl who
had appealed to her
In her rescue work Miss Cameron
does not go after the girls who are
content to live such lives, but to
those who appeal to her or who she
learns wish to get away from it. She
has taken more than one girl as they
were passing along the streets and
forced the Chinese ''owner" to go to
court. On several occasions she has
been followed and threatened by mobs
of Chinese and their friends.
Of Scotch parentage, Miss Cameron
was born in New Zealand. She came
to America as a young girl and for
twenty years has been employed by
the board of foreign missions of the
Presbyterian church for rescue work
among the Chinese of San Francisco.
She is paid only $50 month, and in

Father knickerbocker,s $50 Year,

Father knickerbocker's 25O Years.
New York city celebrated last
Thursday the 250th anniversary of its
municipal government under a mayor
and board of aldermen.
When Thomas Willett was sworn
in as mayor, with his five aldermen,
on June "a, 1665-the date appearing
as June IA, according to the old cal
endar form, in the early accounts
by the English governor, Richard
Nicolls, the last vestige of Dutch rule
was obliterated.
There was, indeed, one break, but Of
SO short duration that it's influence
was negligible. In 1873, while England
and Holland were at war, Captain
Colve, with small Dutch fleet, ap-
peared in the harbor. The English
recognized that the fort was no more
able to resist an attack than 1t was
in the days of Stuyvesant, nine years
before, and the Dutch again captured
New York. In less than year, when
the European war ended, it was re-
stored to the English.

owing to the lake it is impossible to
get the exact length without boat.
The government is unaware of its ex-
