TODAY'S POEM
TARNIsHED.

A German soldier, wearing on his
 breast The Iron Cross. of all things he pos-
 sessed The dearest, since it had been bravely Bysp1endid deeds of valor, nobly done, Sat in trench ,amid the field guns And read month-old paper from
 Berlin. The Kaiser, so he learned, had given A submarine commander and his crew The Iron Cross, because with courage
 great They sent an unarmed liner to her
 late And thus upheld the Fatherland's re-
 nown By leaving women and their babes to drown. By this brave news his soldier heart was stirred, And then he read, ''The cross has been conferred On many gallant airmen, who dis played Such >valor in the last Zeppelin raid When bombs were dropped and Eng fish blood was spilled And fifteen mothers with their babes were kil1ed.' A choking sound escaped the soldiers throat; He tore the Iron Cross from off his
 coat.
 Flung it to earth, and with nuttered | "Gott!'' Stamped it inzmud and spat upon the | spot! -Berton Bra1ey in New York Tribune

THE COST OF FOODS.

A government public health bulletin just issued attributes the early break down of the workingman in health to overworlz, due to the struggle, against the cost of living. Wages in the past 13 years, it is said, have gone up 30 per cent, while cost of food has gone up 60 per cent.
 This advance is due in large meas ure to the fact that the supply of good free land has about given out. Farms cost high, and the cost is paid by the consumer.
 The remedy is not more land, but more products from the land- Our yield of staples per acre is far below the levels prevailing in Europe. Prob ably before we are done with this problem, the expenditure for educat- ing the farmer for intensive cuItiva- tion of the soil will have to be multi piled many times. For every dollar spent on batt1eships, another dollar should be spent on increasing the pro- duct of our farms.

RoUMANIAN RoYALrY.

The first king of Roumaniaq the late King Charles. was. elected hospodar or .'Domnu'' of, RoumRnia, just half a. century ago today, April 20, 1866. He was crowned as monarch of Roumania which had thrown off the Turkish suz- erainty. in 1881. and died on Oct. 0. 1914, when he was succeeded by his son. King Ferdinand, the present ruler. King Charles was a German prince of Hohenzollern-Si -Signar1ngen, a branch of the same house which now holds the German imperial throne. His father, the last reigning prince of Ho- henzollern-Sf Sfgmaringen, abdicated in favor of the King of Prussia in 1849, when the prihcipality was Incorporated in Prussian territory.

THE FLY NUISANCE

Public sentiment has made excel lent progress in regard to the fly pest. Many of us can remember from our childhood how indifferent people were to this plague. They accepted it as one of the trif1ing annoyances of life, to be ignored by all sensible people. To fret because of the at tacks of insects was regarded as a
 sign of childishness and lack of self control.
 days to build stables quite near houses. In many places the fashion
 prevailed of attaching them direct ly to dwellings, sometimes connected with woodshed or carriage house. No good reason appeared for this stormy day the owner could go out
 to his beasts without getting wet, a very poor excuse for a thoroughly undesirable arrangement
 The result was that perfect swarms of flies, attracted by animal refuse,
 would swarm in such places and que a whole neighborhood. People would stand the nuisance all May. Perhaps at night to get a little relief [ ttheyS would organize fly driving cam
 paigns, and pursue the little vermin with feather dusters, brooms and newspapers. After about an hour the flies would be as thick as ever, having craw1ed out from their places of refuge. It would be a disgusting sight today to see them feeding on
 our food at table as they used to do freely.
 A well screened house is accepted now as one of the essentials of com fort Summer hotels and boarding houses that don't provide this essen tiaI must not expect to see many guests return for a second vacation. As long as flies were regarded as a mere annoyance, it was well enough to maintain spartan indiffer- ence. Now that everyone knows that they are principal carrier of disease, it is another matter. Prop erty owners should have a care how they build stables near dwellings, and should reduce the fly breeding conditions as low as possible.

Fresh Pineapple Salad.

This recipe, however, is for some sort of pine apple salad that calls for the fresh fruit instead of the canned. The pineapple must be very ripe. You know how to tell a ripe pineapple, don't you? The yellow color is, of course, one symptom of ripeness. An other is loose spikes at the top. Seize one of these top spikes firmly between the thumb and finger, twist it, and if it comes out readily the pine is ripe.
 Remove the eyes and skin from a pineapple and dice the rest, save the hard heart. Get as much juice out of that as possible. Dice the pulp of two grapefruit. Drain both. pine apple and grapefruit pulp in an enam- eied sieve Chill on ice and then mix with half a cupfuI of celery hearts, cut fine Dress with French dressing and serve in lettuce leaves and top each with a spoonful of nnayon- naise dressing.
 In Hawaii, the home, or one of the homes of the pineapple, the pulp of the fresh pineapple is scooped out, mixed with French dressing and re- turned to the shell. Each person has a small pineapple and the salad is eat en from the shell. But in Hawaii the pineapple is sweet and ripe and not the same as the fruit which we receive in our markets. However, some sum mer days a salad of fresh pineapple pulp diced and mixed with French dressing, chilled and served on let tuce leaves will be found very appetiz- ing.

Z CORNER FOR COOKS

Pineapple has come to be one of bthe standby fruits. It can be obtain ed fresh throughout many months of the year, and when it cannot be had fresh the canned sort can be used as a very satisfactory substitute in most recipes. To many persons indeed, the canning of pineapple removes just the acid quality that makes fresh pineap- ple unpleasant to them. And for the many kinds of pineapple salad that have been divided within the last few years the canned pineapple is indeed always preferable to the fresh.
