More Preserves.

why don't you make some sweet
pickle pears?" asked Marie as Mar
jorie came in to tell of her success In
putting up India pickles, which Marie
had told her of the day before.

Keep Iodine In the House,
From the Kansas City Times

HioHi tIle hanSaS CITY Times,
Every family should keep a bottle of
t%incture of iodine in it's medicine closet.
Then 1an If any member gets a cut or
with iodine will prevent infection and
further trouble. odine is the best dis
infectant for such purposes.
Dispatches rave told of the serious time
the former pugilist, Jeffries, has had
from a cut hand. The cut was so slight
mat ne paid no attention TO it. but tns
place became infected and complications
set in. Almost everybody Knows of sim
liar instances. A person may scratch a
hand a dozen times with no i'll effects.
and the next time with no apparent rea-
son he may get q badly swollen arm.
The safe thing to do whenever the skin
Is broken is to wash the place with water
and then paint it with iodine. If the
wound Is small 1t needs no other atten-
ton. II It is a severe cut the place should
be protected by a sterile dressing-a little
cotton from the drug store, or a rag which
has been sterilized by boiling water. This
treatment is some bother, but it is worth
while to head Oft any possible trouble.

She a v it royalty, while the other

took the proffered hand; he did not

Then 1t seemed to lawn upon him
that there was more behind this white,
sweet, noble intensity of her than just
the making amends for a fancied or
real wrong. Duane thought the man
did not live on earth who could have
resisted her then.

Her appeal to Duane shook him deeply.
He wanted to help her more than ne
had ever wanted anything. And with
the meaning of the tumultuous sweet

alization of a dangerous situation.

hoarsely.

SCORE OF ARKANSAS
TOWNS ARE ENCULFED

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. THE rap
idly widening lake in Southeastern Ar
kansas, formed by the flood waters of
the Arkansas river pouring through
breaks in the levee, has engulfed a
score of towns, leaving several thou
sand persons homeless, taking toll
of seventeen lives and doing great
damage to property in the rich farm
ing territory.
If the Mississippi continues to rise
as it has for several days it is feared
the levee at Arkansas City will go
out.
The surface of the river is thirteen
feet above the level of the town. The
great food lake is nearly forty miles
long and twenty miles wide. From it
only the upper stories of buildings in
Arkansas City protrude.
The great lake that extends from
the Arkansas river southwark, with
the Mississippi river levees as its east
ern bank, has engulfed numerous 9th
er towns.
The present food has been the most
disastrous in forty years, SO far
as loss of life and suffering are con-
cerned. The property loss has not
been so great because there are no
crops to be destroyed.

Berlin Makes Concessions in
Lusitania Incident.
REMOVES DANGER OF BREAK
sman Imperial Government Declares
Killing of Americans Was
Without Intent.

Washington. Feb. For the word
illegal" which Germany was unwill-
ing to incorporate in the tentative
draft of the Lusitania agreement. the
Berlin foreign Office has substituted a
phrase, which certain high authorities,
in a position to be familiar with the
status of the negotiations, consider
covers all the principles involved in
the question of submarine warfare.
The language substituted for the OBJ
jectionable word illegal" in ten
tative communication now being con-
sidered by President Wilson, AYERS
that the killing of lis Americans in
the Lusitania disaster was without
intent, because the destruction Of the
Cunard liner was an act of reprisal,
and the German government agrees
that reprisals should not be applied
to neutrals
From various diplomatic and official
quarters came the information that
the outlook is promising for an early
settlement.
1t was indicated that the tentative
form of settlement, which. should it
prove acceptable to the United States,
will be embodied in formal communi-
cation from Germany, approaches
nearer the desires Of the United States
than any yet submitted with authority
of Berlin officials.
Reason for Submarine War.
The agreement is prefaced with the
statement that submarine warfare in
the North sea was inaugurated by
Germany in retaliation for what she
regarded as the illegal" British block
ade under the orders-in-council.
It. then states that the method of
conducting submarine warfare in the
North sea has been modified on &C.
count of the friendship Germany has
for the United States and because of
the fact that American lives have been
lost.
Germany says the killing of Ameri.
cans was not intended, because re-
prisals should not be applied to neu-
trails, and in addition to expressing re-
grst for the loss Of American lives,
assumes liability, and offers repara-
ticn in the form Of indemnity.
The last portion of the document
expresses the readiness of Germany to
cooperate with the United States in
any effort looking toward the freedom
of the seas. u#
Secretary Lansing allowed it to be-
come known that he might have some
on tho Lusitania case
to make within the next few days.

LUSITANIA CASE
is CLEARING Up
President w.i'l Lay Matter Be-
fore He Cabinet.
AMERICAN ATTITUDE SAME

German View, as Represented at
Washington, Is That the Present
Offer Goes as Far as Berlin Officials
Consider Possible Towards Meeting
Views Of the United States.
Washington, Feb. S.-President Will
son will take up with his cabinet the
latest communication which Germany
hopes will bring the negotiations over
the I.usitania disaster to termina-
ton satisfactory to the United States.
Official indication or announcement
whether the offer of the Berlin govern
ment is satisfactory is expected soon
thereafter.
The president did not request Secre-
tary Lansing to come to the White
House for conference and the con-
ference which had been planned did
not materialize.
The secretary expects to discuss the
latest proposal with the president and
it is believed in Teutonic diplomatic
circles that Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador. may be summon
ed to the state department and in
formed of the decision of the United
States.
Officials Are Optimistic.
Confidential advices received from
high official quarters say expressions
of tpimism regarding the outcome of
the negotiations, which have been
heard in certain official. and diplomatic
circles are not without foundation.
Chairman Stone OF the senate for
eign relations committee declared,
after comforting with administration
officials, that he believed the case is
practically settled"
1t was authoritatively said at the
state department that the position Of
the government in regard to the Lusi-
tania case is identical with the posi-
ton taken at the time the last note
was dispatched to Germany.
The German view as represented
here is that the agreement now offer.
ed goes as far as German officials con-
slider possible toward meeting the
views of the United States.
Germany has agreed that reprisals
must not be directed against any 9th.
er than enemy subjects.

ROBIN HOOD LIGHT OPERA
PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE

Although not up to the standard of
the Bostonians, whose rendition of
"Robin Hood,"' with Barnabee, Froth-
ingham, Cowles, Karl, Macdonald
and the imitable Jessie Bartlett Davis,
in the title role, the DeKoven COM
pany which presented this frolicsome
light opera at the Dickinson opera
house Thursday evening, possessed
real merit. The company Thursday
evening numbered many clever people
whose voices were equal to their
parts and the large audience who at
tended the production found it most
enjoyable.
The famous solos, "Brown October
Ale," 20, Promise Me-" and the
"Armorer's Song" were especially
well rendered.. The principals were
all good, especially Cora Tracey as
Alan-a-Dale, who has a wonderfully
rich c%ontralto voice, and Anabel, in
the person Of Carolyn Andrews, who
is entirely suited to the part. Maid
Marian, taken by Ivy Scott, was quite
a star Of the company. Ralph Brain
erd, as Robin Hood, did not seem to
appear to advantage and his voice
was not as full as it should have
been. Sol Solomon made a particu-
larly good Guy, and Phil Bronson as
the sheriff, brought the house down
with his clever comedy acting.
