[From the Buffalo Express, Ind't


Even so emphatic German as Mr..
Viereck of the late Fatherlaud could
think of o other excuse for the Zmmer-
mann letter when it was first published
than to disbelieve its genuineness. Now
that Zimmerman has admitted it and
disbelief is no longer possible it becomes
almost final test of Amercanisr
Ce ctainly those who can be pro German
on the question of a German Mexican
alliance to make war upon and conquer
the United States might spare the rest
of the offence of calling themselves
Americans, at least.
Some of the German-language papers
see the point. Notably the New York
StaatZ- Zeitung and the Cincinnati Volks-
blatt denounce Zimmerman and the
German Government. and agree that the
United States cannot remain supine in
the face of such plot.
Yet while men of German birth and
race sympathy were thus declaring for
America, there renamed men in the
United States Senate, having no excuse
| of race attachment, who continued to
champion Germany. The most viruient
of them all, Stone of Missouri, actually
went so far as to reveal secret of nav.
al defence which he had learned in his
capacity as chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations. What condem
nation can be severe enough for such
men as these?

THE EGGLESS CAKE.
High Cost of Living Reduced by Several
Millions.


| The prestige of the hen is being cur
tailed in a new and interesting way.
! She lays billion eggs or SO for tn,
human race each year, and under worlt
war conditions the price of eggs pei
dozen to consumers had approached
dollar in some parts of the United States
and has reached the prohlbiive price O.
two dollars or more in the belligeren
countries.
Therefore, when the high cost of living
looms large in the public eye, unusua
importance is attache to the announce
ment of the best known baking powder
company in the world that it has evolved
a ready and practical way for the house
wife to save, In the aggregate, many
millions of dollars in household expenses
through the use of more Royal Baking
Powder and less eggs.
Months of xperImeDting have Gillette d
large number of recipes for the making
OF home baked products with fewer eggs,
and these recipes are being distributed
gratis 1t is claimed that they prove
concluslvely that the baking powder
saves eggs-in some cakes about half the
cost OF the cake is saved. In recipe 8
calling tor the use of eggs, the number
can be reduced and excellent results
beautiful, appeuzIng cakes, mullins,
corn bread, etc. obtained by using a
small additional quantity. about tea
spoon of Royal baking powder in place
OF each egg omitted.
The acme, or top-notch achievement.
in this connection is an eggless. milkless,
BUTTERFLIES cake that is pronounced by all
who have tasted it to be delicious and
wholesome. Its appetizing quality, it is
claimed, will be surprising to the house,
wife who tries it according to the recipe
given.
The idea of using more Royal baking
powder and less eggs in baking is not
entirely new, but the elaborate enlarg-
ing and perfecting of the idea just ac-
complished renders it a very present
help, meeting the necessities OF the
housewife of moderate means in a time
of soaring food prices.
In the British Isles the news has been
received with enthusiasm. The baking
powder company, While not being accus-
ed of being an out-and-out philanthrC-
pist in the matter, is pointed out as
having provided the means of effecting
an enormous saving in household affairs
in way that benefits everybody and
harms nobody-eXcept 1t be the pride of
the autocratic hen. The company only
completed its experiments recently, AID
already the announcements are beng
spread broadcast in the newspapers,
which, it will be remembered, many
Years ago made the name of Royal Bak
imp Powder a household word all over
