SCHNEIDER is EXCITED

Berlin bulletins are very brief but
but very significant these days. They
say, "Attacks on all front repulsed," )"
and furnish indisputable evidence that
the Germans and their allies are on
the defensive.-Star.
Yes, Mr.. Editor Neutral of the
Ocala Star!
It's defence, which holds France
from the French, Russia from the
Russians, Italy from the Italians, Bel
gium from the Belgians and what of
England? She is willing to sacrifice
the last Frenchman, Belgian, Russian
or Italian to save her bacon.
And the defence holds. Germany
is not being devastated since October
1914. But for our peculiarly Ameri-
can form of neutrality, this damnable
butchery could not have lasted the
year 1914.
What is more, a genuinely, honest
neutrality on the part of the United
States could have prevented the holo-
caust or at least could have confined
it to Austria md Serbia. For shame!
Our outrageous neutrality is likely to
prolong the slaughter. another year

can plutes, but look outi "Chickens

Strange that Comrade Schneider
can't see his own inconsistency. He
is an American citizen and as much
bound to be neutral as we are. Or
the contrary, he has been much more
offensive in his denunciation of the
Allies than we have been of Ger
many. We have never tried to con
ceal our sympathy for the Allies nol

EMPLOYERS ARE wAyERING

There were many indications this
afternoon that the railroad presidents
are considering the eight-hour day,
on condition that some definite assur-
ance be given them by the brother
hoods that in future disputes will be
arbitrated. Chairman Holden of the
special railroad committee denied the
reports that a conclusion had already
been reached.

EMPLOYEES SEEM To THINK MANAGERS ARE MAKING A
CATSPAW OF THE PRESIDENT
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Aug. 23-The brother
hood committeeman at a meeting this
morning showed such marked signs of
unrest at the delay in the negotiations
between President Wilson and the
railroad executives that the leaders
of the brotherhoods became alarmed
and expressed fears of their ability to
hold the committeeman in check. The
brotherhood meeting was thrown into
an uproar by the demands of the
minority, who are demanding immed-
late action unless the railroads accept
the presidents plan. The leaders ad-
journed the meeting before any vote
could be taken. Later they said they
could hold off the minority for a
while. The committeeman meet again
tomorrow. Some of them wanted to
go home today, and leave the brother
hood heads with authority to call a
strike in case the railroads don't ac-
cept the presidents plan. One COM
mitteeman charged the railroads with
playing with the president, as he said
they had played with the brotherhoods
for time.
While the railroad executives con-
tinued in conference among them
selves, President Wilson conferred
with Senator Newlands and Repre-
sentative Adamson, chairmen of the
interstate commerce committees of
Congress. over the bill to add two
members to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Senator Newlands said
he would push the bill. This is taken
to mean it is intended, if possible, to
refer the investigation features to the
commission

ANOTHER FAKE KNOCKED OUT
Surgeons at Johns Hopkins Disap-
prove of Twilight Sleep

Baltimore, Aug. 23-Johns Hop
kins Hospital has practically disap-
proved of the twilight sleep" method
in childbirth. The hospital authori-
ties abandoned experimental use of
the method more than nine months
ago. The conclusion reached is that
it is too perilous, that the menace to
the life of the child is too grave to
warrant its use except under the most
favorable circumstances.
After more than years use of the
twilight sleep drug, scopalomin, the
obstetricians found that it could be
safely used only under exceptional
conditions because of questions re-
garding the proper dosage.

CANDIED CRANBERRIES
DELICIOUS CONVECTION
Directions for Making an Excellent
Substitute for Expensive
Candied Cherries.

Candied cranberries make a delicious
and inexpensive confection much re-
sembling candied cherries. but having
a distinct flavor of its own This is
suggestion to housewives from the
home economics experts of the depart
ment. who have been developing new
uses for the cranberry. They have devel-
oped a method which, if followed close
ly. gives bright. firm. plump. semi
transparent candied fruit which can be
egten a sweetmeat or used to give
touch of color to frosted cakes. whip
ped cream or custards, or which can be
used like citron in cakes puddings,
OF chopped up and added to tutti-frutti
ice creams.
The secret of candying cranberries
lies in handling the fruit so that il will
become saturated with sugar. This calls
for slow cooking on the instaliment
plan and the use of dish large
enough to permit all the berries to
float at the top of the sirup during
cooking. The skins are so tough that
they must be pierced before cooking to
let the sirup into the pulp or interior.
To do this three little slits. each one
eighth inch long, should be made in
each berry with the point of pen
knife. Use selected. large, firm cram
berries. The directions for cooking are
follows:
For one and a half cups of berries
make thin sirup by boiling together
until clear two cups of sugar and two
and IA half cups of water. When the
sirup is coo. add the berries and bring
very SLOWLY to the boiling point. If
the berries are heated too quickly. the
skins will burst before the sirup soaks
into the pulp. AS soon as the sirup
boils, take the dish off the stove and
lej it stand overnight. Next day drain
the sirup from the berries and boil il
until il is reduced to about half it's
original volume. Put the berries into
this medium-thick srup and heat
slowly; boil gently for three or four
minutes. and then allow to stand for
two hours or more. Then boil gently a
third time for five minutes A sma Her
dish probably will he needed for the
third and last boiling. When thorough
~ cold. or. better still. on the follow
ing day, drain off the sirup and spread
the berries out on lightly buttered
plate or sheet of clean. waxed or
lightly buttered paper until the surface
OF the berries dries
The berries. if directions have been
followed. will candy separately and not
INTO "a sticky mass.
To make delicious ice cream, add
one-haf to three-fourths of cup of
chopped berries to each quart of the
cream mixture. They also can be COM
biped with bits of candied orange or
lemon peel. or other glace fruits to
ma he tuttt-frutti ice cream. The sirup
left over after the berries are candied
has u pleasant sweet-acid flavor and
finc color. and is excellent in puIding g
sauce. or even. when diluted with wa
ter. Tor use On pancake wafffes. etc.

Poultry Yard Notes.

Roy II. Waite, poultry husbandman of
the Maryland Agricultural College. has
the following criticism to make and
the following advice to give in regard
to methods of a majority of Maryland
farmers and poultry raisers:
Maryland poultrymen seem to make
a practice of mixing their breeds. They
use one male this year, get another OF
an entirely different breed next year,
still another the following year. and
so on until at last their flock looks as
if it had been struck by lightning.
Nothing could be worse for the poultry
industry than this kind of hit or miss
breeding. We get stronger and health
ier fowls such breeders say. Let US
see When you breed from two birds
that are in any way related you in
crease the chances of perpetuating any
defect which they may both have. Being
related, the chances that they will both
have the same defect are increased.
When you cross two breeds or varieties
the chances of breeding together birds
with the same defect or fault are
greatly diminished. This. then, is the
only plausible reason for breeding a
mixed, mongrel flock; Let us see what
we gain or lose in the long run.
"A good strain of pure bred will lay
more eggs.
Eggs from pure-bred fowls will be
more uniform in size, shape and color
"A pure bred will make better ap-
pearance on the market.
THE carcass of a pure bred will make
a better appearance on the market on
account of uniformity of size, shape
and color.
breeding stock of pure breds can
often be sold to advantage.
You cannot help but take pride in a
pure bred flock and will be sure to
give such "a flock better care and atten-
ton.
Don't you really think it would pay
to give a little more care to the selec-
tion of breeding stock of .some good
breed. rather than to keep on with a
flock that the word hash would very
accurately describe?
by selecting the strongest most Wig
orous and healthy birds for breeding,
YOU can keep a flock in first cla ss con-
fects. you will be making headway in
fixing and improving the desirable
qualities, and in the meanwhile you
will be getting the advantages that
have been enumerated as belonging to
the pure bred flock.
Don't forget that it is easier and
much cheaper to rid the henhouse of
rats and to fill up the rat holes in the
floor than 1t is to replenish the flock.
Hens, be they never SO heavy layers,
cannot manufacture eggs when they
are supporting with their lifcblood a
host of vermin.
Mongrel hens housed in damp. drafty,
ramshackle houses and allowed to wade
in slush and snow never yet paid their
owner for the feed they consumed,
much less made a profit.
An active breed for fowls is much less
likely to become overfat than fowls
of the large-sized, sluggish breeds
Hence the more active ones should re-
ceive different treatment from that
given the big fowls.
II farmers would keep strict accounts
with their poultry they would be sur
prised at the profit derived in propor-
tion to the capital invested.
Fowls certainly do appreciate hot
meal occasionally during the cold

Anelo-French Bonds.

No particular significance attaches to
the decline below the issue price of the
Anglo French bonds. according to an
important member of the syndicate
which marketed this big issue. Under
the circumstances prevailing, it is as
serted. the decline is not at all sur
prising. Many subscriptions were made
by bankers and other business men
upon the understanding that the ex-
change situation between New York
and London must be supported in or
der that our foreign trade might go on
and that the revival of industry in this
country might not be checked. This
end having been accomplished, some
of these subscribers having other and
more active uses for their funds have
