Mr.. Davis's last book OF war eorre-
spondence is truly representative OF his

leader OF n new school which adapted
itself 70 modern conditions Of warfare.
In these pages there is no longer even
a 'pretence of neutrality. Davis is here
not SO much pro-Ally as pro-Freneh'
and unQualiiedly anti-Ieuton.
He traverses. after year. the battle
fields which he visited in 1914; he
marks that process of immediate resto-
ration which Europe has learned from

after nearly two years of writing and

The situation here remains one or be-

Mr.. Davis defends his friend klng

King was proved right by the tasco OF

Venizelos with the task of keeping the

The diplomatic failure was in the first
place his. Constantine IS for Greece,
and for her alone; Justly or not, 1t Is
difficult 10 disassOciate what Nenizelos
wants for Greece with what he wants

Colonial British fiction fourshes

minor way. Canada has its Gilbert Par

Utensils That Really Sim
pity The Work Of
Housekeeping.
Home Helps Dishwasher.
MAdo by the Home Helps Manufacturing Cor
poration, 20 Broadway.

~ ISHWASHING is the proverbial bette
noire of the housekeeper. Nearly every
- woman will tell you that she really
likes cooking and doesn't at all mind sweeping
and dustng-especialy in this day of vacuum
cleaners-but that pile of dishes to be washed
three times day is the thing that makes her
bow 70 the necessity of putting up with the
average maid-of-all-work.
There are many dishwashers on the mar
ket-thoSe run by electricity and those run by
hand. These are admirable where a large
quantity Of dishes are to be washed, but for
the average small family the consensus Of
housewifely opinion is that it is really easier
TO wash the dishes than to scrape them with
extra care, pile them Gust so" in the dish
washer, run the machine for washing and rims
ing. remove the dishes and clean the ma
chine.
The Home Helps Dishwasher comes to the
rescue Of the woman who has TO cope with
the monotony of dishwashing for a small fam
lily. It combines the two processes of machine
washing and plain washing in dishpan or sink,
being as convenient and labor-saving as the
one and as simple as the other
The contrivance is merely a double metal
shell, TO the lower end of which is attached
a stiff white bristle brush. Inside the shell
is the soap chamber and from the side of the
wooden handle above projects the spray for
rinsing.
A two-foot rubber hose one-quarter-nch N
diameter is attached TO the hot water faucet
at one end and is connected at the other to the
dishwasher The hot water flowing through
this hose passes through a small hole at the
top of the soap chamber and strikes in fine
spray upon the soap, so that strong soapsuds
flow through the brush upon the dishes. These
are piled either in the sink or in rack placed
in the sink. A few twists of the brush clean
each one. for the bristle brush is entirely ade-

Unfortunately, boiled halibut is rare

forms such welcome change from the
usual methods of boiling and frying
that it is highly recommended to the

DEVILLED LOBSTER.

Either the freshly boiled shellfsh
may be used for this savory supper
dish or reliable brand of the canned
goods may be substituted. In using
canned lobster open the can, drain
thoroughly, remove the fish, wash
quickly in very cold water, and ex-
pose to the outside air for thirty
minutes. Prepared in this way, it can
hardly be detected in cooked dishes
from the fresh lobster. Chop the meat
rather cOarseiy and for each cupful of
the meat add one teaspoonful of
minced, drained pimentos, one table
spoonful of chopped parsley. a pinch
of salt, cream sauce to moisten and
one tablespoonful of mushroom cat
sup. Mix well, fill into pieces of the
lobster shell or small scallop dishes
and sprinkle thickly with Drowned,
crushed bread crumbs. Dot over with
bits of butter and cook in a hot oven
until the sauce bubbles through the
crumbs. Serve with brown bread sand

Enterprise Coffee Mill No. 100.
Made by the Enterprise Manufacturing Com
pany, Philadelphia, Pa.

The Enterprise Coffee Mill No. 100 is made
especially for family use. 1t is designed to be
attached to the wall or cabinet in the kitchen
so that it has the great virtue of being held
firmly and soidly during the grinding. The
body of the machine containing the grinders is
made of cast iron, finished in black, white or
blue enamel Into the Top fits a glass con-
tainer, sealed by an alright metal screw cap
so that the one pound of coffee which it will
hold is completely protected from dampness
and dust.
The grinders are turned by a crank which
has a screw dial that regulates the degree of
fineness and is marked by numbers which in
dictate the eight degrees.
The ground coffee is deposited in the gradI-
ated glass, which is marked with figures desg.

ECONOMICAL FRUIT JELLY.

Save all the rinds and pulp of lemons and
oranges left from lemonade or fruit punch.
Put them into a saucepan and cover with
boiling water. Boil ten minutes, strain half
the liquid and add sugar to taste-a small cup
full of sugar to one dozen lemon skins gives
tart, refreshing jelly. Lastly stir in half
package Of gelatine that has been dissolved in
little cold water. Pour into a mould and cool.
One dozen lemon or orange rinds should make
a quart of jelly, and it is better flavor and
more fruity than when made with the juice
alone. j. B. F., New Jersey.
