sary to let some of the great ovens
cool off. After the fires were rebuilt
it was about a week before they could

necessity for giving time and atten-
ton to her oven when she intends to

When the cake comes out of the.

to too great a heat at first. The cake
baked so quickly at first that the gases
did not have a chance to escape, and
finally when formed in enough vol

ing a great crack. When the oven
is unevenly heated the cake either
rises up in the middle or on either
side, making it impossible to make
an even layer or to frost loaf

western Canada to find help to put in
the crop has been practically solved by
partment allowing every non-commis-

farms.
The soldiers will receive full pay
and allowances as usual, and in addi-

To Wash Willow Furniture.

To clean willow furniture, provide
yourself with coarse brush dipped
in strong salt and water, scrub each
piece well, then dry with soft brush.
Salt cleans willow and also keeps it
from turning yellow. If it is desired
to keep the natural light color of the
willow, apply coat of linseed oil.
BY this treatment the willow strands
of which the piece is woven will lose
their dry brittleness and become soft
er and more pliable, bending under a
blow instead Of breaking. This treat
ment has another good effect besides
making the chair last longer-it makes
it less noisy. A coat of oil allows the
strands to slip more smoothly and cas-
lily, and therefore more quietly upon
each other

The officers room was, Of course, the
finest 1t was lined with canvas and
cloth and was furnished with an old
couch and some chairs. Iron lanterns
hung from the ceiling and these make
both the light and the heat for the
trenchmen. On the wall hung a large
sign, Butter ausverkauft" Clutter sold
OUT. Empty tin cans were also hung
on the wall and they are used for
matches, and cigars, etc.
The common soldiers had a larger
room, but not nearly so fine as this Of
ficers' quarters. Every here and there
on the sides of the main passage of the
trench were little cupboards, where
the bullets were kept. Along the top
OF the trench many bags of sand were
piled, but there were holes through
which the soldiers could shoot. OF
course, it was not a real trench, but
just the same it gives one a good idea
of all the cold and suffering that the
men in the trenches must stand. In
the field they have hospitals right un.
der the ground, and here the first aid
to the injured is given.
Outside the exhibition building, in
another part of the trench lot, was a
display of wire entanglements. They
were made by firm in Berlin, and
am sure it would take some cutting to
get past them. The most interesting
part of the whole show was the exhibi
ton of war posters from all Germany's
enemies. They had posters from
France, Italy and Russia, but the ones
from England were the most read.
They were all urging the men to arms

they just cost 80 cents. You can't do
any better than that in America.
Bathing Is "verhoten."
After dinner we went to Grunewald
to little inn we know there. 1t was
such day, such beautiful day! The

sun shone through the trees. To get
to the inn you must first walk through
a bit of forest, and after little you
come to little lake. 1t is very pref
ty lake where bathing is "yerboten.'
The walk runs along the lake and it
finally leads to little hunting lodge
which looks like tiny castle. 1t has
many red-roofed towers and latticed
windows, and in the center is large
court, which is decorated with many
deers' heads.
At the other end of the lake is the
inn, which was packed, of course.
Everybody was drinking coffee and
chatting. Half of the men were sol
diers, and most of them officers. 1t
was just marvellous how many Ger
many damsels had managed to scrape
up officers with whom to go walking
on this fine afternoon. Most of the
people had brought their cakes along
with them, and then ordered coffee.
When we returned home we went by
another way, and over on the other
side of the lake were number of Rus
sian prisoners saving wood. A guard
was watching them from the hill. He
was not stationed there to keep them
from escaping, but to keep them work
ing.
In the evening we went to variety

poor, but the large theater was abso-

in Marine, ILL.,
When the father went to the barn
to feed, the bull attacked him. In try.
ing to get away he fell several times
and was bruised. His r"nddaughter,
Nellie Shafer, arrived home from
school at that time, and she sent the
collie into the lot The dog halted
the bull and Permitted the old man to
escape.
The next morning, when the son
went to the barn to feed, the bull at.
tackled him. His cries attracted Mrs.

night clothes, taking the dog with her,
for the second rescue.

could see it, for Brummel always said
that simplicity and elegance were the
keynotes of fashion. German generals
wear great bright red stripes down
their trouser legs. These stripes are
about six inches wide, and can be seen

erals are rather pompous looking, and

they are the finest, cleverest men in
all this glorious, young Germany. They
stand so straight and look so soldierly.
After we left the cafe we went to
see the exhibition of war things that is
being held at Geological gardens. They
have everything here that belongs to
war and a soldier They have num-
Der of captured cannon. British,
French and Russian. They have two
English aeOplanes and number of
motorboats. They have uniforms of all
the warning nations. Some of the cos
tunes were very beautiful. The Bull
garian were especially so, but they
were almost too gay to be very practi-
cal. The models that wore the uni
forms were very funny They nave
hands and feet of wooden dolls. but
their faces were most realistic look
ing; indeed, some of them seemed to
be winking at you.
Just Like a Real Trench.
Outside the main exhibition build
ing. on a large lot. trench had been
built. 1t had been built by soldiers
that had been in the war. so it was ex-
actly like the real ones. You enter
trench by going down steps, and this
one was about seven feet high and
about three feet wide. Radiating from
all the sides of the main part OF the
tranch ware other messages and rooms.
