the duck bones, add half the quantity
of dressing and chop finely. Prepare
the sauce from two tablespoonfuis of
butter Drowned with half a chopped
onion: then remove the onion and
blend in one heaping tablespoonful
OF Drowned flour. Add gradually one
cupful of strained stock and stir con-

The latter danger. though it may be more
OF less remote, is leading many to advocate
pasteurizing milk for butter and the controlled
scurng of the cream by adding ferncnt in
stead OF permitting the souring to take place
naturally. with the possibility OF the develop
ment of undesirable bacteria along with the
beneicent Tactic acid fermcnts. The fact that
the cream is to be used soured at the creameries
has given rise to some very unsavory prac-
tees which are difficult to control and define
The cold storage of butter is a mixed bless
ing. Properly regulated, it equalizes the
supply; but storage over too long period and
storage OF undue amounts of fresh butter is
a mistake both economically and from the
standpoint of quality, and results in higher
prices the year around.
The housewife with a small family will find
much satisfaction in small glass churn, in
which she can make fresh sweet butter-un
sailed if it is liked-for her family and feel
that the antecedents Of the same are all known
to her.
Beware. however of the specous person
who would sell machine for making double
amount of butter from a given amount of
cream He is only encouraging the housewife
to incorporate an illegal amount OF water in
her homemade product More than 10 per
cent of water is contrary to law, and good
buffers vary from 10 to II per cent with IS
per cent of fat.
THE CASE AGAINST FRIED FOODS.
One point OF interest that always arises in
connection with cooking fats is the question
as to the indigestibility Of fried foods.
1t cannot be too strongly emphasized that
this is dependent on the manner of frying and
the effect that this method Of cooking has on
TIE food rather than on the nature Of the fat
used

ration 10 a nicely.
Not only this but the eTstwhile naughty
child who licked the butter from his bread
is now found to have had scientific founda-
ton for his yearning, since butter Tat has
acquired much merit Of late as fat with par
ticular virtues in promoting growth
Diets which failed TO maintain growth and
health proved satisfactory in both particulars
when supplemented by milk and butter.
Recent work in the Ofhce OF Home
Economics OF the Department Of Agriculture
has shown that butter fat and lard, with their
lower melting points. are more completely
used by the body than beef and mutton fats.
lust what relation our many substitute cook
ing fats made from vegetable oils may bear
to butter and lard in this regard remains TO
be proved by detailed experiments.
THE TWO BLOTS ON BUTTER.
There are two blots on the fair escutcheon
OF butter as a needed food and concentrated
source OF energy.
One is the practice Of coloring all butter
yellow to give it the appearance the year
found of June butter from meadow fed cows
regardless Of the facts; another IS the posi-
bilitv recently pointed out of the presence ct
disease germs bred in insanitary cream care

Absorption of the fat by the food fried and
the surrounding of the more digestible con-
stituents by coating of fat. which is not
readily permeated by the digestive juices,
naturally delay digestion. Again, if the fats
are overheated they may decomposc partially
and produce irritating substances
1t is these considerations which lead to the
objections to fried foods" and justly so, but
the difficulty is due to the process itself and
the cook, rather than to the kind of fat en-
ployed.
Despite these minority reports against but
ter, however, it remains the most nutritious
end most desirable of edible fats, and its flavor
and appetizing qualities are not TO be forgot
ten in summing up its whoesomeness and d.
gestibty. What tastes good nourishes' IS
true as we'll as epigrammatic.
OLEO HAS ITS OWN PLACE.
Because butter has these superlative merits
does not alter the fact that there is legiti-
mate place for a good oeomargarine, honestly
sold for what it is.
But when we are asked whether oleo can
advisedly be substituted in the ration OF the
growing child we would say NO, unless
economy makes it imperative.
Some fat is needed, and if butter fat cannot
be had. then oleo is an acceptable substitute,
and good cleo is better than poor butter.
When Napoleon III first introduced the
making of artificial butter into France it was
made of beef fat and milk. Now refined lard
and the vegetable oils, such as cottonseed, are
used as well, mixed with varying amounts OF
milk or cream for favor.
So unsavory reputation has oleo acquired
by reason of its repeated bold attempts to
masquerade as butter and the taxes that have
been imposed especially on the coloref ol:o

GERMANS REALIZE UsELEssNEss
French Military Critics State that Germany Has Realized the Hope ture French Qualifications.

PARIS, April 15.-The Germans still continue their attacks against the French positions east and west Of the Mouse river, launching terrific in- fantry attacks under cover of heavy artillery fire, but the attacks have so far been unavailing, the attackers having suffered heavy losses.
 Military experts agree that the bat tie of Verdun is practically over, and that the Germans have finally real ixed that their attempt to capture the strong Notifications at that place was hopeless one.
 SIheir attacks have been the most pc tsistent and ferocious of any pre- vious aggressive movements and their losses have been enormous, without any material gains.

MEXICO CITY, April 15.-The acting Secretary of Foreign Affairs today made a public statement in
 which he says that President Carran-
 ga will insist that the American ex-
 petition in Mexico be largely reduc- ed or withdrawn from Mexico. President Carranza, the statement says, will demand that if any portion of the United States troops are per
 mitted to remain in Mexico, in pur- suit of Villa, the force shall consist
 wholly of cavalry and shall not ex- ceed one thousand men.
 Carranza insists that the present expedition is doing nothing except excite the Mexican people, who are strongly opposed to the presence of the troops. and cites the attacks made upon the troops yesterday at Parral as conclusive evidence that trouble may be expected if the troops are permitted to remain in Mexico, and he insists that they shall be with drawn at once.
 The Secretary states that corres- pondence with the United States government will show that Mexico has been insisting ever since the raid on Columbus by Villa, that the ex- petition sent across the border by the United States should be a small one, and should remain in Mexico but a limited time.

FEAR RUPTURE

Lansing's Communication to Germany
Will Be Strong, But Will Leave Way for Germany to Avoid Break In Diplomatic Relations.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.- A rumor is prevalent in congressional circles that the note which Secretary Lansing is now preparing to be for warded to Germany, in regard to the torpedoing of the channer steamer Sussex, will sever diplomatic rela- tions with Germany.
 The text of the note, if it is known, has not been made public, but it is be- lieved that, while it will be by no means in the nature of an ultimatum, will be couched in such language that there will not be the slightest room for mistake in the meaning or the sentiment of the administration regarding the torpedoing of passen- ger steamers unwarned. It will be so expressed as to afford Germany an opportunity to avoid a break and will convey the fact that this will be Americas last word in regard to the incident.

QUERETARO, Mexico, April 15.- In a statement today. Gen. Candido Aguilar, Mexican minister of foreign affairs, deplored the attitude of some sections of the press in the United States, which he declared had pub- lished number of false stories in an effort to embarrass the Mexican and the Washington governments in arriving at a peaceful solution of the present situation.
 The minister appealed to the press of the United States to act with mod eration and in the name of patriot ism to aid the two governments in their earnest efforts to solve amicably the international incident.
 The foreign minister closed by say ing that the Constitutionalist forces were working with the utmost vigor on carefully thougt out plan which was expected to result in the capture of Villa and that complete accord ex- isted between the military chieftains and minister of war, who was per sonally directing the campaign.

In Long Speech in the Senate States man from Washington Says that the United States Has Been Treat ing Germany Harshly.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15-- Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Wash ington, republican, in a speech in the senate today, bitterly assailed the pre- paredness program of President Will son.
 The senator declared in the course of his long speech, that preparedness is not needed at this time, and that Wilson has only brought the ques- tion before the country as a cam paign issue.
 The Senator's speech was decided ly pro-German in tone, and he flayed the administration unmercifully for the stand it has taken in regard to the German undersea campaign, de claring that the United States has been treating Germany harshly.

Grave Concern for Pershing.

COLUMBUS, April 15.-Grave concern is felt here over the position of General Pershing's expedition in Mexico. The United States force Is 8 long distance away from their base of supplies with insufficient troops to protect their line of communication. Carranza troops, to the number of 4000 are now marching north into Chihuahua, and in the event of a break with the United States these troops will be able to cut off all SUD- plies from Pershing. The United States troops are practically sur rounded by the Mexican governmental troops who are numerically stronger than Pershing's force, and with their source of supply shut off it is believ- ed the Mexicans could practically wipe out the Americans before aid could be sent them.

WASHINGTON SEEKS
 TEXT 0F TREATY
BRITAIN AND DENMARK ALLIED
State Department Has Not Succeeded in Learning Contents of the New Treaty Said to Have Been Made Between England and Holland.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.- The State Department is making an effort to get information as to the character and scope of secret treaty between the Governments of Great Britain and Denmark. So far it has had no success, although it has sent eabled instructions to the proper American diplomatic officers in Eu- rope to obtain the facts as to the agreement. All that is know of the treaty is meagre. The belief prevails that the agreement insures Danish nes,r%Hty on the side of the Entente AlHsZ and may go even to the extent of providing that in certain contln- xencies Denmark will resort to arms in behalf of the allied cause.
 The State Department has had nothing to confirm reports that the Governments of Denmark, Sweden and Norway for the period of the war, under which if one of the three Scan- dinayian nations becomes involved in the European conflict the two others will not take sides with the group of balIiRerents to which the first nation fs opposed. Doubt of the correctness of th1s report is expressed here on the ground that any secret treaty be- tween Great Britain and Denmark would bar Denmark from entering into any such arrangement. Sweden's sympathies are generally credited as heinz with the German powers, and it is not regarded as probable that Denmark, in view of her supposed vir- tual alliance with Great Britain, would consent to be bound by con- vention that would prevent her from carrying out obligations to Great Britain If Sweden should join forces with Germany and Austria-Hungary.
