 Fifteen months later l began to be nervous and was worse at my. But st these times did not have any pain and do not now suffer any pain. But was very nervous, so nervous that my hands would shake. Any noise would lake me jump. So took two more bot tles of Cardui. have never been nerv- ous since and do not have any pain. 1 think this is all due to Cardui and Black-Draught"

/, railroad lines and labor markets.
Every national army cantonment has
required the building and installa-
ton of transmission line for cleo
trical current. At Camp Upton it
has been necessary to take electri-
cal power from Northport on the
north shore of Long Island. a dis
lance of nearly 80 miles. In addi-
ton to this the transmission line has
been strengthened all the way back
to Brooklyn in order that proper
service shall be given at this canton
ment. In order to furnish the nee
essary railroad facilities the Long
Island railroad has been required to
take up rails. from sidings along its
lines to build the spur track requir-
ed at the cantonment. To bring the
construction materials to Camp
Meade, which is some distance from
an electric railroad and not on any
steam railroad it was necessary to
rebuild the electric railroad. To
make a sufficient strength for steam
transportation in addition the Penn
sylvania railroad built spur several
miles in length into the cantonment
site. In order to build this spur the
government had to condemn right
of way.

Wash, stem, and wipe the apples
being careful to clean the blossom

put into the preserving kettle. Bare.
ly cover with cold water (about A
quarts of water to 8 of apples) and
cook gently until the apples are soft
and clear. Strain the juice and pro-
coed as for currant jelly. There
should be but 8 quarts of juice from
8 quarts Of apples and 4 of water
Apples vary in the percentage of
sugar and acid they contain. A fine
favored acid apple should be en-
ployed when possible. Apple jelly
may be made at any time of the
year, but winter apples are best and
should be used when in their prime,
l. e., from the fall to December or
January. When it is found neces-
sary to make apple jelly in the
spring, add the juice of one lemon
to every pint of apple juice.
The Value of Potatoes
There is no food which exactly
takes the place of the potato when
one Is accustomed to it," says a
statement issued by the United
States department of agriculture,
urging an increased consumption of
this vegetable now that the market
of the country are we'll supplied. "It
has come to be such part of our
dinner that we miss it when it is
not served. Besides, any leftover
potato can be used in many very
palatable ways for breakfast or sup
per, and this Is convenience from
the housekeeper's standpoint. since
it helps her to make palatable meals.
Not only is it useful from the ease
with which it can be prepared and
the number of palatable ways in
which it can be served but it is very
important for the food material it
supplies. 1t is one of the most
wholesome sources of starch and is
also fairly rich in the mineral matter
which the body needs. OF the min
eral salts one must not overlook the
Importance of the mild alkaline salts
it contains, because these are greatly
needed by the body to counterbal-
ance the acid salts which meats and
eggs produce when assimilated. In
this we have a justification of the
use of potatoes in the diet in liberal
quantities and of our common GUS
tom of serving them with meats.
When the price permits, potatoes
should, by all means, be made part
of the Diet

PRISONERS OF WAR

Nothing could be more amusing
if anything in this war can be said
to be amusing-than the sensitive
ness of the imperial German govern
ment over the "mistreatment" of
German prisoners in England and
France 1t has protested, thru Swift
zerland, to the French government
against the insults supposed to have
been offered to German officer
prisoners by General Maitrot, during
the German offensive at Verdun. The
Frenchman is charged with having
called the German officers "bri-
bands and pigs" AS the Germans
have been calling the English pris-
oners pigs" since the beginning of
the war, turn-about would seen to
be fair play.
But it now appears that General
Maitrot has not been. at Verdun, or
even in the neighborhood, during the
war. He asks that he be allowed
to confront the three German Of
ficers who are said to have been
mistreated, in order that he may ex-
act from them apologies and writ
ten withdrawal of the charges. 1t
all means simply that the Germans
are looking for new pretext which
may be pleaded in defense of their
own brutality to prisoners. For the
imperial government announces that
unless a reply is received within a
few days it will make appropriate
reprisals That lets the cat out of
the bag.
What the Germans could do to
prisoners held by them that they
have not already done would be hard
to imagine. Dogs" and Swine"
have been among the mildest cpl
thets used. They have been in COM
mon use since the beginning Of the
war. Prisoners have been kept in
quarters that it would have been dis
graceful to harbor cattle in. Dogs
have been trained to attack and
bite the prisoners, little children
have been permitted to wound them
with iron-pointed arrows, healthy
prisoners have been transferred to
typhus camps, and there are worse
stories yet that the world will refuse
to believe till they are proved. We
must not forget that the people of
one town were punished for giving
drink to a trainload of prisoners
who had been without water for
three days. On the other hand, the
English and French have treated i'm
prisoned Germans almost as guests
Yet it is the Germans who now
threaten to make "reprisals." They
will no doubt be as good as their
word. Capital News. |
