to Andre Anderson, heavyweight
prizefghter, and hand out to him and
to his hackers word Of warning.
Warning a man when he has just
secured his fourth knockout in
month may seem foolish, but this is
the very time that Andre needs some
words of wisdom. His New York rec
ord grew in brilliancy last night when
he clouted Jim Stewart to oblivion in
the sixth round, humbling his oppon-
ent before a storm of blows.
Once again Anderson showed he
had the strength and gameness, but
lacks the polish of the championship
bidder. He isn't ready for the top
notchers of his division-if there are
any such animals his hackers
must continue to shape him gradual
". They have exhibited marked wis
dom so far in preparing him and the
only danger now is that they may
grow over-ambitiouS.
Anderson, of course, is now great
drawing card in New York and can
fill house matched against any man.
With Frank Moran, Jim Coffey or any
of that clique he would pull down a
good purse on percentage basis, but
might endanger his future career in
the ring. One decisive defeat now
would be apt to take from him all the
confidence he has gained by his string
of knockouts.
BY fighting frequently against who |
can give him an argument, but |
against whom he has an excellent |
chance of victory, Anderson keeps
constantly in condition and learnt
more than he could in a year spent in
gymnasiums. Ring work is the best
training for prizefghter, as Jess
Willard is liable to discover when he
breaks back into the game after q
vacation of so many months.
Willie Meehan managed to stay ten
rounds with Anderson a short time

LIS huOChOuI SIIlllS.
Jess Willard is planning to 60 to
New York tomorrow to begin train
ing for his bout with Frank Moran
March 25. Jess and his manager,
Tom Jones, are hurt at reports from
New York that the fight may be set
back again. Yarns from New York
that Jess won't be ready make Tom
laugh, too. He says so. And he and
Jess are in a position to laugh, for
they are going to get the money, no
matter what happens.
But there are chill winds in New
York, just as there are here, and Jess
can take cold just as well on Broad
way as on Clark street.
The strenuous efforts of Joe Tink-
er is making to land Gene Packard,
Federal southpaw, as a member of
the Cubs, is evidence of Joe's valua-
ton of his present set of southpaws.
He has Jim Vaughn and George
Pierce, but that duo fails to class with
some of the port-side entertainers of
the National
Vaughn was a dependence of the
Cubs last season, and fairly consist
ent winner, though he took many
bumps. Pierce was not of such value,
despite his apparently fine record, be-
cause he cannot control his temper
and is prone to explode to minute par
ticles when any of his backing falters.
The National league this season
will be much stronger than in 1915
and Joe must strengthen if he expects
to battle the left-handed sluggers of
the circuit. Lee Magee, Robertson,
Kauff, Luderus, Jake Daubert, Wheat,
Stengel and few more can hit right
handlers easily and are effective
against southpaw pitching unless it
is of the highest grade.
In recent years the Cubs have not
been well protected in the matter of
off-hand fingers and Packard would
be an excellent man to have around.

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER
Statistics of American Trade Show
Danger That Menaees country's
Most Vital interests.

Reducing it to dollars and cents,
what do we find In regard to American
trade during the past few years?
Our exports, exclusive of war sup
plies, have gone down nearly 40 per
cent. Our imports of foreign-made
goods, that compete with American
made goods in American markets, have
increased, In the case of Canada alone,
more than 60 per cent.
Imports from Canada increased
from $120,571, $50 to S204, 01S,227,
when we compare the figures of the
last year under the Republican protec-
tive tariff law with those of the pres
ent year. under the Underwood nom
protective Democratic tariff law.
Exports for the 10-month period
from August, 1915, to May, 1916, were
S3.6O1, 100000. Practically two-thirds
of these exports were war supplies.
Only about $1,300,000.0O0 consisted Of
peace products. In the first 10-month
period under the Underwood law, OC-
tober, 1913 to August, 1914, exports
totaled 1882, 100000. These were
peace products, the expectation of
which had slumped from a total Of
$2,110,500,000 in the 10-month period
from October, 1912, to August, 1913,
under the Payne law.
In other words, we are exporting 40
per cent less of peace products and
importing 40 to 60 per cent more of
foreign goods under Democratic nom
protective tariff than We did under the
Republican protective tariff.
1t takes no expert mathematician
to figure the meaning of this bust
ness showing, or the ruinous conse-
quences when peace prevails in Eu-
rope. Just think it over.

Tax Burdens Due to Democrats.

To reach into your pockets for more
money 10 pay for its extravaganza,
the Democratic administration has in
vaded the domain of taxation formerly
left to the states, compelling the
states to seek new sources, and there
fore multiplying tax burdens.
In the face of the war, we are buy
ing more goods abroad, under the
Democratic Underwood tariff, than we
bought under the Republican protec-
tive tariff, but we get less revenue
out of them. For example, under the
protective tariff in the fiscal year 1912,
we imported goods to the value of ST.
sos, 100000 ON which we collected
customs dues to the amount Of $685.
100000. or is per cent. In the fiscal
year 1916, lending June 30th), we i'm
ported goods to the amount of S2,197,-
$4,000, on which we collected only
S211, $3.50, 600 or 9.72 per cent, a loss in
revenue of S114. 474,000.

MAKES fine RELISH
SUGGESTIONS FOR SERVING THE
HUMBLE CUCUMBER.
Few Vegetables Have the AdaptahiIity
Of This Friend of the Housewife
Common Way of Preparing
II Is Not the Best.

1t is true that few vegetables appear
as cool and refreshing either to eye or
palate as the humble cucumber, which
is growing more popular as table
food each year, writes Mrs. Christine
Frederick in the Chicago Daily News.
In the heated season we come to de-
pend upon it largely as a salad, as it
is capable of infinite combinations, or
served alone, or with tomatoes, rad
ishes ald other vegetables.
The overripe cucumber should not
be chosen, as then the seeds are too
large and the pulp coarse. Neither
should it be at all underripe, as ihen
1t is bitter and the pulp acrld. In par
ing, take generous skin, as the flesh
near the skin is always more or less
bitter. Unless the seeds are small they
should be discarded entirely, as they
are pure waste and do not do me body
any good. merely irritating the / n
testines
Instead of cutting the cucumber In
slices, it is sometimes preferable to di-
vide it into three sections and scoop
out the seeds. using sharp knife with
curved blade like grapefruit pre-
parer. This leaves a solid chunk of
flesh which can then be sliced or
chopped as desired without seeds.
Cueumbers should not be allowed to
stand in sailed water, as this tough
ems the pulp. They are best if pared,
placed In only little clear water and
the bowl put into the refrigerator.
Although we use 1t chiefly as a
salad, there are many dishes for the
stewing or frying of cucumbers which
should not be despised. The large
dice of the firm flesh can be slowly
stewed for about fifteen minutes with
very little water in which are a few
drops of onion juice. The addition of
a little cream, salt and pepper makes
this very dainty dish.
1t can also be used fried like sum-
mer squash or egg plant. Cut in thick
slices, dust with salt and pepper, roll
In flour and saute in butter for about
20 minutes. Sometimes a delicate
onion sauce, parsley or other herbs
can be added.
Owing to its refreshing neutrality of
taste, the cucumber is par excellence
the salad to accompany fish. 1t also
combines excellentIy with dressing
made of sour cream. The common
way of preparing 1t with strong vine
gar, cut in conventional slices, is by
far the poorest method, killing its deli
cate individual taste A light oil
dressing or thin mayonnaise is most
preferable.
When the skin is glossy and not
spoiled by too many spines, most
decorative table effects can be secured
by utilizing the rind as well as the
pulp. The entire pulp may be scooped
out, leaving the cucumber lengthwise
and thus making a Cucumber boat"
into which can be stuffed the chopped
pulp, radishes and other salad mix
lures. Cut into three sections or two
crossways. 1t will appear like an at
tractive green pyramid or cup. in
which also any salad mixture can be
served. Combined with the red of the
radish, the yellow nasturtium flowers,
or the scarlet of the tomato or pmen-
TO, the humble cucumber can enter
largely into decorative table scheme.

VOTERS KNOW THE TRUTH
Country Has Always Been Prosper
Gus When the Republican Party
Held the Reins ii Power.

Incapacity for governing is charged
against the Republican party by Wood
row Wilson in his speech accepting
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent. This kind of partisan chatter
may please the violent partisans in
Democratic ranks, but will be smiled
at by most people acquainted with the
recent history of our country.
The greatest progress in American
history and the highest prosperity
ever attained by the United States
came in the 16-year period of Repub-
lican party government from 1897 to
1913. In this period the Republican
party not only put on the books of
the nation vast amount of wise legis-
lation, but 1t gathered the material on
which practically all the good fea-
lures of legislation in the past four
years were based.
Candidate Wilson discussed the cur
rency law at length, claiming a great
Democratic achievement therein. But
it was the labor Of years by Nelson w.
Aldrich, Republican senator from
Rhode Island, and by julius G. Bur-
rows, Republican senator from Michi-
gan, that provided the data for the
drafting of the currency law. And, in
addition, when his own majority party
members were in revolt against the
administration measure it was to the
Republican members of congress that
President Wilson turned with an APP
peal for aid, and from whom he re-
ceived it. The Democrats convenient
ly forget that when there is a little
credit to be claimed.

DENMARK.

Even Iceland. that island Of dreams
and legends, is waking up to the
chance OF becoming an industrial coun-
try. The JokulSaa, Il river in eastern
Iceland rises in the Wild Natnajokul
mountain. An English engineer found
volcanic sand al the bottom OF the
river, and he came to the conclusion
that there must be large deposits II
this material ut its mouth. Borings
soon proved that he was right. The
sand was found to contain from % to
- per cent of iron. 1t was calculated
that il would pay TO dry this sand
and extract the iron particles from 1t
by means of electricity. There Is an
other river close by, the Lagarfijot.
This does not carry iron ore. But its
falls can furnish 100000 horsepower
which may be used for taking the iron
out of the deposits ut the mouth OF
the other river. Even the ancient
sages mentioned the iron mud of this
river, but at that time people had no
idea that it was iron. English capital
lists are going to furnish the necessary
capital for building an extracting plant
which will cost about S50O00O0; but
the promoters claim that still more
money may be obtained. the success
of the enterprise being beyond doubt.

The Swedish governments reply to
the representations of the allied min
listers concerning measures to preserve
the neutrality of Swedish territorial
waters has been published in Stock
holm, says a Reuter- dispatch from that
place The reply, the dispatch says,
disputes in a most formal manner the
suggestion that there Is any difference
in the treatment accorded either to
one or the other of the belligerent
camps, which could be regarded as in
compatible with the duties of loyal
and impartial neutrality. The Swed-
ish reply says:
THE government of the king can
not enter into any discussion on the
sincerity and impartiality of it's neu-
trality which have been abundantiy
demonstrated throughout the whole
duration of the present war. 1t would
however, observe that an allegation OF
this character is not well founded
when based only on isolated facts
Regarding submarines. the reply con-
tends that all are treated as war sub
marines unless their employment for
commercial purposes is clearly estab-
lished by evident facts The protest
of the allies referred especially to the
regulations covering submarines enter
ing Swedish waters. and the laying OF
mine field off Kogrundrenden in the
southern sound.
Great Britain and Sweden have been
at odds since the early period of the
war. and Sweden's unyielding attitude
evidently has resulted in a decision to
exert the combined pressure Of all the
entente allies on il. Difficulties arose
from the allied blockade of Germany,
resulting in the holding up of goods
en- route to Sweden, which were sus-
pected Of bei3g destined for Germany.
Sweden retaliaced by holding up large
quantities of parcel post matter in
transit between England and Russia.
