SHEER IN CHARGE
OF GERMAN FLEET
Berlin Reports That Germany's Vice
Admiral Was in Command of Flo
tilla in Sea Battle.

Amsterdam. (via London, June 81
Advices from Berlin say that Vice Ad-
miral Sheer, commander of the Ger
man battle fleet. was in personal COM
mand of the German forces in the bat
tie of Jutland, while the scout divis-
ion was under the direction of Vice
Admiral Hyper. The German forces
consisted of the German high seas
feet with dreadnoughts, older ships of
the line, battle cruisers, all of the
light sea forces at present in the
North sea, torpedo destroyers and sub
marine fotilla.
Admiral Hyper came into contact
with the enemy about in the after
noon when he engaged a squadron of
British battle cruisers and light cruis-
ers. Subsequently the whole fleets on
both sides engaged and the fighting
| lasted until in the evening. Later on
in the night there were sharp engage
ments between torpedo destroyers and
cruisers. The leading German vessels
alone sank six modern destroyers.
All reports from the German sea
forces which participated in the bat
tie agree on the bravery shown by the
enemy in the long battle
The crews of the German torpedo
boats which were sunk have not been
heard from but the majority of the
men on the other vessels which were
lost were rescued despite the unfavor-
able weather. Naval airships gave
valuable aid in accommodating before
and after the battle.
! Vice Admiral Sheer was appointed
commander of the German battle feet
in February of this year, succeeding
Admiral Won Pohl, who retired on &C
count of i'll health Admiral Sheer is
considered one of the ablest tacticians
in the German navy. He was for a
long time director of the general ma
rine department at the admiralty and
also served as achief of staff of the
| high seas fleet and as commander of a
battle squadron. Admiral Hyper was
in command of the German squadron
which fought battle with the British
! squadron under Admiral Sir David
( Beatty off Helgoland in January, 1915.
! 1t was in this battle that the German
cruiser Bleucher was sunk.

duty that the caterer should not miss.
The fresh, green vegetables, the lus-

berries, pineapple and rhubarb are
now at their best and offer a tempting
display wherewith TO vary the daily

cacy that might otherwise be missed.
Almost every housekeeper makes
little extra preparation for every Sun
day. and although il is true that Sat
urday's marketing makes quite hole
in the weekly budget, still il must be
remembered that this outlay covers the
expense for nearly three days. In pur-
chasing the tongue for Saturdays din

will give rich, meaty slices and there
is very little waste.

Pending a final settlement why not give
Nature and our bodies the benefit Of the

Now, plainly, in full, varied diet, which
would supply vitamins from other sources,
white rice and degerminated hulled cornmeal
would carry no special menace.
But the fact remains that these observations
prove that grains so milled have lost a valu-
able constituent, and the fact is important in
determining our attitude toward the manipula-
ton OF foods and their selection
The general rule that we should have
eoodly amount of whole grains and of
natural, fresh, uncooked, unmanipulated foods
in the diet would seem to be along the lines

Oleo should never be confused with reno

antecedents into new product yields as
dubious product as the name implies.
Regenerating old and deterorated buffers is
not form of reclamation that should appeal
to any one.
There are simple tests by which the house
keeper can tell whether she has genuine
butter or whether it is renovated butter or
an oleo
By heating the sample under suspicion in
tablespoon or small dish; stirring it with
match or piece Of wood; increasing the hes,
until it boils briskly; stirring it thoroughly all
the time. distinct difference between the
behavior of butter on the one hand or OF oleo'
margarine and process butter on the other
hand can be easily detected.
Pure butter boils without much noise bu,
with great deal of foam, while either tire
oleo or the renovated butter boils noisily,
suffering and producing very little foam.
To tell oleo from either fresh or renovated
butter another test is needed, known as n.
Waterhouse or milk test.
A wide-mouthed bottle containing about two
ounces of sweet milkis placed in vessel OF
boiling water Next a teaspoonful of the
sample TO be tested is added and stirred with
a piece of wood until the fat melts. Ths
bottle is then placed in ice water and stirred
until the fat becomes solid again If the
sample is cleo it will solidify in one piece and
may be lifted out. If it is either fresh or
renovated butter it will granulate and be dis
t7iouted through the milk. BY these two tests
the housckeeper can tell exactly what she has
bought, whether it be fresh butter, cleo Or
