AT first it seemed a miracle that the
revolutionists, without pre-arranged
plan, without leadership or organiza-
ton, could in such a short time with
comparative ease achieve a complete
victory over the government. But the
explanation lay in the reluctance of
the troops to take sides against the

is soaked, otherwise much food ma
terial will be lost.
In cooking dried fruits and vegeta-
bles the slower and longer the process
the better the results. The long, slow
cooking not only makes much more
plump and attractive looking product
but lends a better flavor.
Directions for cooking dried fruits
and vegetables are summarized by
Miss Addie d. Root of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture as
follows:
1. Wash the product. 2. Soak sew
eral hours to replace the water which
has ben dried out. 8. Cook slowly
several hours. 4. For fruits use as
little water as possible and only
little sugar. 5. If it is fruit which
has a fiat taste add a little lemon
juice or a little cream of tartar.
6. Chopped nuts may be sprinkled
in stewed fruit for variety and to in
crease the food value.

side of the three-mile limit. No ma.
tion can charge fee for travel from
one seaport to another.
The Portuguese, Dutch, Danish and
Norwegian nations have become sue
cessful sea-faring countries because
of this liberal agreement. Germany
has also built up an enormous mer-
chant marine. 1t appears that free
dom of the seas now dwells upon
freedom of the seas in times of war,
as well as in times of peace.
Germany may be afraid that she
will have restrictions relative to the
sea put upon her because of the prob
ability of losing the war, but it is
certain that the victorious nations
will be willing to give her an equal
opportunity after the worlds COM
merce in the future. When this war
is over and peace has been made, may
the terms be such that the small ma
tions will have the same opportunities
as those of larger size and power.

BUSINESS AS A MIXTURE

A prominent business man once
! said: John Wanamaker is not really
good merchant. for he does not
stick strictly to merchandising. He
has mixed lot of non-business
things with business. These frills
and trimmings have cost Mr.. Wana-
maker a colossal fortune"
Mr.. Wanamaker pleads guilty to
the charge. Not long ago. in dedi-
eating some two acres of his Phila-
delphia store space solely to educa-
tional purposes. he publicly said:
"All my life have been engaged in
an experiment to find out whether or
not there was something better and
greater and higher in business than
in merely making money. While
have tried to make money, l have
tried harder still to make my business
better my people and the community"
Mr.. Wanamaker's contributions to
education and the general betterment
of the country are many. He has set
an example that the majority of the
big business men of today could well
afford to follow. Would not the
country be better with a few more
Wanamakers and fewer strictly busi-
ness men?

end be a paying proposition to the
United States.
|. A larger staff Of army physicians
on the examining board will make
possible not only thorough physical
examination, but also the prescribing
of corrections and courses of treat
ment of each individual ailment
which has not become too serious. In
this manner many physically barred,
who crave enemy blood, may enter the
army to take the places Of their
stronger brothers who have been
forcibly drafted against their beliefs
and principles.
Thus the morale and fighting
spirit of the army will receive new
blood.

SAVE THE STAG

Not many years ago some intelli'
gent person discovered that by re
smelling the Stag heaps which rose
mountain high in the ore districts the
mining companies could save mil
lions. Previous to this time the Stag
mad been allowed to accumulate-a
total loss.
Why should not the United States
army organization observe the same
sane business principles as the large
corporations? At present those who
are rejected for physical disability
are allowed to go to the Stag heap.
No effort is made to reclaim them.
After Offering their services to the
nation they are rejected unceremo-
niously and forgotten.
A system of health training camps
for these men has been suggested,
but at a time when the government is
unable to supply adequate training
quarters for those already accepted
in the army this plan is rather i'm
practical.
Although physically unfit, these
men have the proper spirit. their pa
triotism is as high as the man who is
allowed to go into service. Medical
advice should be furnished by the
government, outlining a course of
training or special diet which will
remedy many of the defects which
have barred men from the army. The
rejected ones perhaps can not be di-
rectly cared for by the government,
but instructions regarding the recov-
cry of health or correction of all
ments, although issued by the most
high salaried medical men, will in the

IN BEHALF OF SOUND LINES

Some time ago it was announced
hat the interstate commerce commits
ZION was not only favorable to the re-
lention of the Sound lines of steamers
~ the New Haven railroad, but decid-
ing that it did not have the power TO
grant such a right under the author
hy vested in it by the Panama canal
act It recommended that congress
take such action which would permit
It TO do what it considered ought to
be done. Otherwise, the commission
indicated, it would be obliged to GO
in accordance with the existing legis-
1atiye orders, which would be to the
detriment of New England business
and transportation in general.
When the Panama canal act with its
clause relative to railroads was up for
consideration and even before action
was taken upon it. the fact was point
ed out, in connection with others,
that these very steamship lines would
be affected in spite of the fact that
none of the steamers is operated
through the canal and no such route
Is or has been contemplated.
These lines are decidedly in the in
terest of better transportation to and
from New England and they can best
be operated under the present owner
ship. The suggestion of the interstate
commerce commission is in accord
with the desires of New England ship
ping interests and the effort which is
underway to obtain an amendment to
the canal act ought to meet such a
favorable and immediate response on
the part of congress. It is only such
treatment as this part of the country
has a right to expect

has but recently claimed to be bigger
than he famous Krupp works at Es-
sen, Germany. The English concern,
Hadfields has offered to fill the con-
tract at 1913 a shell and deliver the
goods in 16 months.
1t was supposed that the munitions
factories of Europe were rushed to the
limit supplying their own wants and
that this was particularly true in Eng
land but such is not indicated by the bid
for American work. This would indi-
cate, and it has also been claimed
since the bid was made. that the YES
sells of England are greatly overstock-
ed, that the stock on hand is so large
that the taking on of the American
contract would not interfere with their
war demands and dt would serve to
keep the employees busy. Yet there is
also the claim made that the British
bid would be subject to peace being
declared, but unless this is true it in
dictates that the shell makers of this
country have much to learn from
those abroad for Mr.. Schwab declares
that only a fair price was asked in

The American Society for Thrift is
doing its utmost to impress upon this
minds of the young people of this
country the Importance of saving and
it will be generally recognized thai
there is an excellent motive in such
something for a rainy day. There are
a great many who receive most val
liable training along such lines in theil
own homes and there are others who
are forced into the recognition of il
from the fact that they are required at
an early age to get out and hustle
for the maintenance of the family but
there is a large number who fail to
appreciate the value of thrift.
Last year this organization conduct
ed a contest offering cash prizes to
those writing the best essay upon the
subject of thrift. with the result that
from eleven states and the prizes were
distributed between eleven contestants
in eight Of the states. A similar eff
fort is to be made this year when
$1,000 in prizes will be awarded
That there will be a larger number
who will devote more attention than
otherwise to the question of thrift be-
cause of this contest is highly proba-
ble- It may not be that all of them
belong to the class that it is desired
to reach but 1t is certain that too much
thought cannot be given to the mat
ter by any Of the coming generations
and the stimulation of an increased
interest cannot fail to have it's good
effects. The more who can be made to
read and think about such a thing,
and apply to themselves what they
may find about others cannot be other
than productive of good.
