THEoPHILED ELCAssE

Although he resigned from the VII
viani government last October, Theo-
phiIe De1casse has not ceased to be a
power in France, where the people
look upon him as the human incar-
nation of the spirit of ''revanche."
Bitter hatred of the F'Boches'' has
been the dominating force in the lat
ter career of the distinguished French
statesman, who was born at Painters
sixty-four. years ago to-day, Marchc 1,
1852. He is a Gascon, and the Gas
cons are good haters, as DeIcasse has
proved on many occasions. He start
ed his career as a journalist in Paris,
a member of the staff of Gambetta's
La, Repub1ique Franchise. He en-
tered the political arena in 1889, and
since then has been a leader, holding
various portfolios, although chiefly IA
NOUS as foreign minister. Viviani APP
pointed him as head of the war min
istry at the beginning of the war, but
De1casse later returned to his old Of
fee of foreign secretary. All his ma
ture life DeIcasse has hated Germany
and has sought to keep alive the thirst
for revenge. He inabibed part of this
bitterness from Gambetta, whose de-
voted pupil he was in his early days
as journalist. Delcasse's friends Of
ten call him F'the savior of France,
minister. When he assumed that
portfolio for the first time in 1898 he
found the republic at odds with nearly
all the great powers. By series
of mastery diplomatic strokes he re-
stored excellent relations with all of
them save Germany. He was large
ly instrumental in the formation of
the entente cordiaIe between France
and England, and cemented the
friendship of France and Russia In
1905 when Germany and France were
at Ioggerheads over Morocco, the
German government forced him to re-
sign by threatening war if he remain
ed in thee abinet.

Buckingham Palace
Hit by Economy Wave
Since War Started

London, March ALMOST half of
the domestic staff of Buckingham
Palace has been released for duty at
the front, and the life of the royal
family brought down to a simplicity
in keeping with times of war. The
King still allows no wine at the table,
and the meals are served plain and
simple as an example in seIf-denial
to the people. Queen Mary, on her
part, takes great care to prevent
waste. One of the court institutions
she has reduced in cost is the royal
orchestra. The Queen also insists
on strict economy in the mana cement
of the wartime charities over which
she presides. Too often, in peace
times. these charities are really ex-
travagant, fashionable fetes in the
name of charity. But they are now
run on a simple and business-like
plan. Other members of the royal
family follow the example of the
heads of their house. Princess
Christian. for example, has long
er grandiose turnkey at her door.

THE GREAT GOD MARS

The first month of the old Roman
year was called Mars, after the deity
who has passed into later literature
as the war god. and the custom of
beginning the year in March was long
perpetuated in Christendoms Until
the change of style in 1852 the legal
year in England and her colonies be-
gan on the twenty-ffth of this month.
The god who is commemorated by
the name of the present month was
originally the great god of one of the
states of the Roman empire. He was
considered the giVer of light, the
opener of the new year, who sent the
rain and hurled the thunderbolts. On
the first day of the month various
annual ceremonies. both political and
religious, were performed. Next to
Jupiter, Mars became the chief pro-
tecting god of Rome. The CamIfus
Martius outside the city, where the
young men were trained for war, was
named after the god, and when war
broke out the Roman generals visited
the temple of Mars and invoked the
deity. Thus in the course of time
Mars became almost exclusively a war
deity.

A MEDICAL MANIFESTO.
. (Rnchester HeraIdl


AS so many prohibitionists are tell
ing US at the present time that all
the physicians of the world who real
lly amount to anything are opposed to
the use of alcoholic beverages, that
science has spoken unequivocal1y in
words of condemn ations it may be
well ito remind them that a large
number of the top-notchers in the
medical profession of Great Britain,
Including Dr. F. Mccall, the regius
professor of medicine in the Univers-
ity of Glasgow; Sir James Crichton-
Browne, Sir Dyce Duckworth, Sir
Thomast Fraser, Sir w. Covers and
Sir w. Bennett, have united in put
ting forth a manifesto that recently
appeared in the London Lancet.
Says the manifesto: In view of
the statements frequently made as
to the present medical opinion re-
garding alcoholic beverages, we, the
undersigned, think it desirable ito is
sue the following short statement,
uFoich we believe represents the
opinions of the leading clinical teach
ers as well as the great majority of
medical practitioners.
Recognizing. that in prescribing
alcohol the requirements of the in
dividual must be the governing rule,
we are convinced of the correctness
of the opinion so long and generally
held. that in disease alcohol is a rap
id and trustworthy restorative In
many cases it may be truly described
as Iife-preserving, owing to its power
to sustain cardiac and nervous en-
ergy, while protecting the wasting nj
tro- geneous tissues.
'sAs an article of diet, we hold the
universal belief of mankind that the
moderate use of alcoholic beverages is
for adults, usually beneficial and
amply justified.

the abuse of alcoholic beverages. But
it is obvious that there is nothing.

by excess, become injurious"
That is clear and explicit. If John

consulting their dictionaries. These
physicians may be mistaken in their
opinion but if we were sick, we should
rather be guided by their judgment
than by the judgn1e nt of any prolli-
bitionist with am NJ. D. after his
name, that we ever met. When doc
tors disagree, who shall decide? Well
one must decide on the doctor, and
we are inclined to bank on these

THE OFFICE OF information of the
United States department of ag-
riculture has issued the follow
ing statement covering an investiea-
ton on cheese making possibilities in
Idaho and other western states, which
will be of particular interest ito resi-
dents of southern Idaho:
The possibilities Of cheese making
in different sections of the western
states. particularly on the irrigated
projects. received considerable atten-
ton from specialists of the United
States department of agriculture dur
ing the summer of 1915 A represen-
tative of the dairy division spent "a
number of months among factories in
Idaho and Montana studying the trou-
bles experienced in making cheese OF
a satisfactory quality, and in seeking
means of overcoming these difficulties.
In Idaho very successful factories
are now in operation near Boise and
Bull. At Boise large cooperative
company owns two cheese factories
and one creamery The cheese fac
tories have proved so popular with the
farmers that the company intends TO
build other factories of the same kind
The factory at Buhl at one time last
summer paid for butter fat IL cents q
pound more than was paid in any 9th
er market in the same locality, and at
no time was this difference less than
cents.
Owing to an inadequate milk supply
and Door management, there have
been failures of cheese factories il
both Idaho and Montana. The climate
and all other natural conditions, how
ever, are good for cheese industr!
throughout Montana and in the highel
parts of Idaho. On the intensivel!
farmed irrigation projects the dair.
COW furnishes good medium through
which to market bulky crops of alfal

OF CHEESE MAKING IN IDAHO

allow the payment of 29.7 cents
pound of butter fat; at IA cents for
cheese, 32.4 cents for fat; at 10 cents
for cheese, 35.1 for fat; and at l6
cents for cheese, 37.S would be paid
for butter fat During the past sum-
mer great quantities of cheese were
sold in the Rocky mountain states at
a price higher than l6 cents pound,
while probably none brought less than
10 cents
I'm certain localities some farmers
not familiar with cheese factories are
inclined at first TO oppose the indus
try because it uses skinned mills
formerly available for calves and hogs.
This opposition is not well founded, as
nearly every farmer in the great
cheese factory district of Sheboygan
county, Wisconsin, is able able to
raise excellent dairy COWS. The irri-
gated regions of the west moreover
produce great quantities of alfalfa,
which furnishes a cheap substitute for
the protein of skinned milk for pigs
Experiments by the New Mexico eX-
pertinent station have demonstrated
that where alfalfa pasture is available
and corn is worth so cents bushel, a
hundredweight of skinned milk is
worthy only IA cents, as compared TO
nearly 30 cents where tire is no al
falfa 1t is probable that, with pigs
on alfalfa pasture, they would give al
most as great gains as would skinned
milk.
In the flush of the sea-on cheese
factory can be operated economically
on $500 pounds of milk, or the product
of about 200 COWS. This milk should
! be produced within four miles of the
factory, as a longer haul is not eco
nomical and increases the danger of
bad milk and poor CHEESE. A cheese
factory to handle 500 pounds of milk
can be built for about $500, including
equipment
AS so little of the country is natur-
ally suited to the manufacture OF
cheese, and as the possibilities of in
creasing its consumption are so great,
the department believes that, as a
rule, consideration should be given to
establishing factories wherever cOndi-
tons are favorable to the development
of this industry.

TALKS ON THRIFT
AMERICAN IDIALS AND WEAK

Opinions may differ materially as to
what is the leading motive in the
life of the average American and
what the leading ideal. We have been

can of it-not to save particularly,
hut TO spend. Our aim is not to save
more, but to earn more. II we can
not have what we want. we do not
do without but work harder fo- it, We
believe in gauging our pleasures by
the cost and not the satisfaction we
get out of them When we make up
our minds that we have been foolish
and frittered away our possessions,
we try to recoup, not by spending
less, but by earning more.
1t must be admitted that we can
as a people, make money We can
save only a small part in comparison
with other nations, but we do have
the knack of getting it. The salaries
paid our officials and leading bust

princes envious, and the wages of
American workmen have attracted
