What Is Used for Ice Cream

Dear Deborah Rush--Shoud you eat ice
cream, with spoon or fork?
ANXIOUS.
II is good form to use either. The latest
fashion is a combination affair shaped
much like a spoon, but having prongs like
n fork, those at the outer edge being
wider and 1atter than the others The
ordinary fork is seldom used.

very small and very informal affair IT Is
not proper to write these by hand. The
card to be quite correct should be white
and the engraving preferably in plain

For a more formal affair or a large
dance It is better to use small letter or
note paper In this case also the paper is
smarter white and the engraving should be
as plain as possible in style.

PEACE ADVOCATED
 BY HARDEN-GERMANY
 IS RESET INTERNALLY

LONDON. March 28. - Maxmilian Harden is outspolen in recent arti- cle in Die Zunkunf, a copy of which has been received here. He makes a strong demand for peace and urges that the German government begin negotiations immediately.
 Germany" he says. "has heaped victory upon victory. Upon her. there fore, devolves the duty of making an offer of peace. Such an offer could only add to and not diminish her pres tige. It would be @ proof Of her strength, not weakness.
 "Besldes. Germany must propose peace because she is in need of peace. Germany is victorious in the field, but internally she is beset with difficult ties. We cannot deny that the prep arations for the third harvest are more difficult than for the second. We do not yet lack men, but we can no longer procure certain raw mater ials.
 Meanwhile our war expenditure is increasing to an alarming extent. Al the end of three years of war we should have lost every one of the commercial markets where he had es- tabliahed positions which were seem ingly unassailable.
 'If Germany waits longer she will find herself reduced to obeying the will of her enemies. If thus becomes necessary that she invite the world to conclude peace"

 They pointed out that the fate of the Bowery was sealed by the refrain heard many years ago:
 They do such things and they say

 It was said this song, which went all over the country, made such an impression that people ceased trading on the Bowery, which until that time had been an important business street.

 J. C. Wittenberg President of the Pohahontas and New River Coal Com pany, who arrived here, made this statement
 He declared the prohibitive price of coal in Italy was due entirely to lack of shipping facilities.

 "The communicating of the Ger man ships by Italy will scarcely re- lieve tho situation It will be like drop in the bucket. The world could absorb a million tons of shipping right now"

AUDUBON COUNTY TO
RECEIVE HER SHARE

The state treasurer is preparing
to send out warrants to the ninety
nine counties for the sums they are
entitled to in the second distribu-
,tion of the automobile registration
fund for 1916. Each county will re-
ceive $751; for every township. The
total amount to be distributed is
$250,OO0.
The counties for 1916 get $1,407,
.13S from the auto fund. The total
received in 1915 was $1,137,766.
The increase is due to the fact that
Iowa now has 10000 automobiles
registered while the number of cars
registered for the entire twelve
months last year was 100000.
Quincy A. Willis, deputy treasurer
of state, on April l, cut the first
melon for the counties. At that time
$1,157.13S was distributed. For the
same period in 1915 the state distrib-
'uted $693,346. The new registra-
ton law went into effect Jan. l, 1916
requiring all old cars to be register
ed before April l, or be subject to
penalties which increased monthly.
This resulted in a rush of registra-
ton in the first three months of this
year, increasing the receipts of the
department for that period to an un-
usual degree.
The melon cut now is made up of
fees received since April 1. 1t tot
ais S250,000. This sum does not
contain a large amount Of penalties
as most of the owners of old cars
avoided the extra tax by renewing
registration within the time limit.

IF 1T HAS TO BE WAR, MAKE
1T SHORT AND DECISIVE

The prompt assembling of the
militia in the various states has al
ready provided the Government with
a force sufficient to guard the border
ana to contribute at least $4,000
men for an advance into Mexico, in
case such advance is ordered by the
President.
With the regulars relieved from
border guarding duty and available
Tor active operations as against the
Carranza outfit, about $4,000 men
can be put into Mexico within the
next 80 days.
III war is declared between the two
countries, fully 100000 men will be
required by the United States in
Mexico to do the work of restoring
peace and order to that turbulent
population quickly and thoroughly
And this estimate calls at the same
time for the effective, active coop
United States in the occupation of
ports and the blockade and patrol of
both coasts of the disorderly coua-
try.
AS modern war is waged today,
Mexico has not within its borders
war material supplies to carry on an
active defense as against 100000
soldiers of the United States for even
four months time, and our naval
forces and our land forces guarding
coasts and border lines within 80
days after declaration of war can
seal up all inlets so effectively that
no additional supplies can enter.

headache, dizziness or urinary dis
orders, you should give the weakened

meat, take things easier and use a
reliable kidney tonic. There's no
other kidney medicine so well recon-

dubon people rely on them. Here's
one of the many statements from Au-
dubon people.

ing on and one day l had a sudden
attack which struck me first in my
hips and loins, then went down in my
knees. The pain was so bad that /
couldn't walk. l had to give up my
work and when | tried to get about,
l needed support. 1t was my kidneys
that bothered me mostly at that
time. My knee joints became swollen
and my back hurt me at night.
was miserable in every way. Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me and by the time / had finished
the first box, | was on the way to
recovery. l got another box and they
finally made a cure. All pains lefr
