The Wife and
a Mans Wages

A very simple truth that does not
seem TO get home TO the average hus-
band is that the money which, as
wages, his employer pays to him is not
earned exclusively by him but by his
wife as well. Her part may not have
been as direct as his, but the fact that
lie has boon kept healthy and up to his
physical best is a strong factor in his
efficiency. And this comes from the wife
IT home in her provision for him and
her family. A mans efficiency in the
business world is absolutely in proper
ton as tho atmosphere of his home is
made for him: if he is fed on WHOLE
SOME FOOD he will work at his
highest efficiency: if he finds the atmos-
phere of his home pleasant and stimu-
lating he goes forth TO his worl; with
hts energies alert and st their best.
a great assistance in accomplishing
these results is by using WHITE SAT-
IN Flour, which, by actual test, con
tains more energy per ounce than any
other brand on the market.

GOOD WORK, NEWPORT.

Newport, n. H., is not only one of
the most attractive towns of its class
in New England, but the people pos
sess a fine public spirit. They support
deserving enterprises and industries
with hard work and cold cash. When
it comes to sports they cannot be ont
done in loyalty, as towns competing
against them in the Twin State base
ball league have reason to remember.
Always alert for business or sport.
Newport now comes forward with a
plan which we hope will be successful,
and will be followed by other pro.
grcSslvc communities which heretofore
have failed to make use of their oppor-
tunities for healthful outdoor recrea-
ton in the winter season. The sponsor
for the plan is the Newport Outing
club, of $50 members, and the pro
gram includes grand carnival of win
ter sports the first three days in Febru-
AIRY, in an arena especially constructed
for the purpose, where a toboggan slide
Il third Of mile long, with a mile
straightaway, is already in process of
erection. This chute is said to be longer
and sleeper than any other in New
England, surprising in length even the
famous Dartmouth college slide. A
mammoth skijumping vaultage has
been arranged hardly, and some tall
jumping is expected. A skating rink is
to be another conspicuous feature, with
snow-shoeing on the side, for which a
series of prizes will be offered. These
are but typical of the events which will
characterize the carnival.

Germany's proposal of peace negotia-
tions at this time is grand stand play
to the neutral nations of the world.
Germany, after crushing Rumania in 100
days, is in a stronger position than at
any time since the war started. ANY
terms of peace offered now by the
central powers mean only one thing
virtually German victory. The en-
tente allies, led by Great Britain and
France, have suffered terribly and have
made many costly blunders, but they
are not scared. They are better organ
lied and better equipped than ever be-
fore and they are determined to fight
10 the bitter end. The so-called peeace
negotiations make the big news story of
the hour, but it is our first and only
guess that they will not be seriously
considered.

Athens, Tuesday. Sept. II. (via Lon
don. Sept. IA, 12:45 .. N. delayed
Every effort to persuade Alexander
Zaimis. the aged premier. to remain in
office was fruitIess. His pride was
wounded by the appearance of the al
lied fleet off Piraeus at the very mo-
ment when negotiations had been be-
gun for the entry of Greece into the
war. The arrest OF Austrians and
Germans in Athens by French and
British agents and the invasion of the
French legation by ruffians who fired
shots there. taken in conjunction with
the continual internal discard in the
face of a great national crisis, com
pletely discouraged the entire cabinet.
The result was not only to precipitate
of the Zaimis ministry but to bring to
a standstill, and possibly even to an
end. all discussion of a departure from
neutrality by Greece.
Il hope the entente now sees where
its policy Of trying to force matters
leads" a prominent Greek official with
svmpathies for the entente, said to the
Associated Press today. The moral
effect of Greece's entry into the war
with the allies unquestionably would
have been a shortening of the war by
MANY months Without a figure like
Zaimis, detached from politics, to con-
duct the negotiations, there is scarcely
a ghost of a chance that this can be
arranged.
God knows nobody in Greece has
opposed entry into the war for the last
fortnight and If this country does not
go in the responsibility must fall on

the end of legitimate discussion OF
details
