Canning the Kaiser.

London-The newspapers declare to-
day that the American soldiers and ma
rines have already found slogan, which
is ''Can the kaiser?" The British are
much puzzled by the ability of the Amer
leans to invent new slang and the papers
explain that the word ''can" is used in
the sense of Theoretically sealing the
kaiser to prevent his further activity.

Water used in cooking rice and many

To Clean Rusty Stcel--Bades OF
knives and scissors that have become
rusty may be cleaned to look like new
by rubbing with fine sandpaper. Rub
until every vestige of rust disappears.
The uses of skim milk are many. In
cooking it frequently adds tastiness as
well as nutritive value to the food. The
of skim milk for water in
bread making adds about as much pro.
tein to one pound of bread as there is
in an egg. To cook a cupful of cereal
in three cupfuls of skim milk, instead of
three cups of water, adds as much pro-
tein as that contained in three eggs.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1l.-secretary
Lansing sent to the Cuban people to-
day a warning that any government
that might be established by revolt
could not be recognized by the United
States.
This is the text of the message:
"The Government OF the United
States has received with the greatest
apprehension the reports which have
come to 1t to the effect that there
exists organized revolt against the
Government OF Cuba in several
provinces and that several towns have
been seized by insurrectlonists.
Reports such as these of insurrec-
ton against tho constituted Govern
ment cannot be considered except as
OF the most serious nature, since the
Government of the United States has
given its confidence and support only
to governments established through
legal and constitutional methods.
During the past four years the
Government of the United States has
clearly and definitely set forth It's
position in regard to the recognition
OF governments which have come
into power through revolution and
other illegal methods and az this time

(which recently developed between

AT the present time we cannot SEQ

We know there are many Americans
In Germany, owners OF business or
representatives Of firms; who would
suffer almost irreparable loss should
they leave the country. Establish
ments once closed and the personnel
dispersed will have difficulties in re-
opening and many years OF valuable
labor would be lost. No matter how
