Schumann-Heink's Loyalty

Il am a German by birth; the father
land is dear to me-, says Madame
Schumann-Heink. Why shouldn't Ait
be? But Madame Schumann:Heink,
like many others who look back to
Germany as the land of their origin,
is an American citizen, and pro
claims the United States as her
country.
Her oldest son is petty officer in
the German navy. Her second son is
a member of the United States marine
corps Another of her boys is in the
New Jersey national guard, and still
another is enrolled to regiment of
Arizona cavalry. Her youngest son,
George Washington Schumahn-Heink
is student at the Culvar military
academy. The war has made allegi-
ance complicated problem for
Madame Schumann-Heink, as for
thousands of others, good true-heart-
ed people, born in Germany, but citi-
ZeDS OF ToSlucutS VI the OultSu states.
She sees her duty clearly and accepts
it fully. First and last she says,
81 am an American citizen"
There are thousands OF American
citizens in a situation like that of
Madame Schumann- Heink-loving the
land of their adoption. 1t is wise to
be on the alert against spies of the
German government and those in this
country who have become their dupes /;
but is would be inhuman for Amer
leans to disregard the duty of SYM
pathetic consideration for the great
body of true and steadfast Americans
of German antecedents and German
connections-who are identified with
America and believe in America, and
will not play false to America, yet
whose heartstrings are torn by the
breach which war has caused between
the land Of their birth and the land
of their adoptiOn.-Evening Wisconsin.

diers was 2,77S,3O9. This includes of
course hundreds of thousands of re-
enlistments. OF this total, more than

ment were under the age of 81 years
Twenty-Five boys were only 10 years
old. 225 were IL years old, 1923 were
IA years old, S44,S91 were 16 years OF
age, and 1,151,84 were Is. The
exact number of those under Fl at the
date of their enlistment was. 2,15O, 70S
OF all the soldiers of the federal
armies, only 618,511 were older thar
II when they took up arms.

Modern Way of Making
A Linseed Poultice

LinSeed is favOrite ingredient in
poultice making because Of the oil in
the seeds. which not only helps in re.
tanning the heat, but serves as an
emOllient to the skin, says q CORE
spondent Of the Country Gentleman.
Crushed linseed is preferable to lin
seed meal, producing softer, more
moist result, and sufficient to make at
least two or three poultices should al
ways be in the house-stored in an air
tight tin, or the commodity rapidly
loses its goodness.
The old fashioned way of boiling 1t
with the water to a suitable consist
ency has been superseded by the
method of famous physician, which
is as follows: Rinse bowl and knife
or spatula in scalding water, pour in
as much boiling water as will be need
ed, sprinkle in the linseed meal, stir
ring briskly meantime. and spread
quickly, smoothly and very evenly
upon q piece of heated rag, muslin.
flannel or brown paper arranged to re-
ceive it, turning the edges neatly over.
Test the heat with the back Of the
hand, lay i'll place, cover with cotton
wool and oiled silk and secure with a
flannel bandaSe fastened with safety
pin.
The quantity of both meal and wa
ter can easily be calculated by any
one accustomed to cooking, for the
ln CIT To l0ov a
sides Of the bowl perfectly clean and
yet Of sufficient bulk to make poultice
just little larger every way than Is
actually required and Of uniform
thickness of about three-fourths of an
inch Too thin poultice gets speedily
cold, one too thick is weighty and
firing, and unless it is evenly spread
the edges dry up and scratch the pa
tient.

Shipment of Overlands

The White Garage received it's shipment of a car load of Overlands, Friday. Among the machines received was the lat est model of a Sport Roadster, just about the neatest thing that has yet struck Williams in the way of a car. It has the latest of designs in every way and is calculated to suit the taste of those who insist on a product that is really nifty and sporty. It will be worth any ones time to take a look at this line of Overlands just to see what has been accomplished by the Wileys-Overland Company in the way of a modern auto mobile, at reasonable price.
