COOKING by instinct.

In the kitchen of an old monastery
in France a group of British women,
all Of good education, are cooking and
scruDDlng and washing up all day long,
and they have been doing it for many
months. The way they cook potatoes
is a thing to write poetry about, and
the French soldiers who have eaten
them will tell you that they want to
go back TO that monastery, which is
now a hospital, because the food Is so
good. Not only do those women cooks
OF the educated classes cook well, but
they are economical.
Another English woman, who before
the war knew nothing about cooking,
is a past mistress in the art of making
apple dumplings, as many an English
soldier, as well IS a few English sail
Ors, viii bear witness. When asked
how she learned, she said that a
French friend of hers had lent her her
cook for "a hours, and during that
time she had made rapid progress in
many things. Then there was the
handy man about the canteen, an Eng
lishman, who had lived in France for
many years. He taught her a great
deal. But as to the tarts and the ap-
pie dumplings, she must have learned
TO make those by instinct, for no one
has taught her how to make the paste
or keep the apples dry.

Titled Lady as Shoemaker.

1t is an Interesting fact that, al
though the women of the United King
dom have invaded most employments
that formerly were followed chiefly
ny men, the shoemaking trade has not
experienced much change in this re-
speet. Yet, little over hundred years
1gO, Shoemaking was one of the 'em-
Payments of high society" in London.
Lady Sarah Spencer. in a letter to her
brother, written about the year 1905,
says: in the evening we divide our
time between music and shoemaking,
which is now the staple trade of the
family. 1 am today in state of great
vanity, for have made pair of shoes
there is news for you. So if all 9TH
er tradesSfail / shall certainly estab-
fish myself, croSs-legged, at the corner
Of an alley TO earn a livelihood in the
midst of leather, avis, and hammers"

FALLING HAIR MEANS
DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your HairI Get 25 Cent Bottle
Of Danderine Right Now-Also
Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful seurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die--then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-an time-will surely
save your hair.
Get % cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so bear tiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss. and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks use, when you will actual

hair-growing all over the scalp. Adv.

WE'RE INVITED TO LEAVE
Commission Hampered by Teutons, An
nounces Withdrawal From Lands
Occupied by kaisers Troops-Few

London. Feb. 14.-The American
commission for relief in Belgium has
officially notified the German authori-
ties that the Americans will with
draw from participation in the re.
lief work in Belgium and northern
France.
This step was taken in reply to an
order from the German authorities
that Americans must withdraw from
the provinces of Belgium and north
ern France, leaving only few of their
representatives, headed by Brand
Whitlock, American minister to Bel
GUM, in Brussels.
The action of the commission is ex-
planned in the following statement by
directors of the commission in London
I'VE were advised February II by
Director Warren c. Gregory from Brus-
sells that Baron won der Lancken. civil
governor of Brussels. had notified him
that American citizens could no longer
occupy positions in connection with
the commission in the occupied terri
tories of France and Belgium, but that
few Americans, among them Brand
Whitlock, might reside in Brussels and
exercise general supervision over the
work. Mr.. Whitloek. however, was to
have no diplomatic standing. Further,
automobiles and other means of COM
municatiOn would be denied Ameri-
cans.
After earnest consideration with
Ambassador Page, the directors of the
commission in London, acting in &C
cordance with Herbert c. Hoo~er,
chairman of the commission, instruct
ed Mr.. Gregory to inform the German
authorities that, in view of their or

ernments and fulfill their duties to-
ward the peoples of Belgium and
northern France. the Americans would
officially withdraw from participation
in the work of relief in the occupied
districts.
"Mr. Gregory was advised to arrange
for all his men to leave Belgium I'M

close the commissions affairs and take
steps to see that there be no inter-
ruption In the service, pending the re-

WILL PROBE PRICES
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION TO
INQUIRE INTO HIGH COST
OF FOODS.
DIRECTED BY THE PRESIDENT
Department of Agriculture Will Assist
Body in Its Work-To Learn If the
Antitrust Law Is Being Violated by
Various Concerns.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The federal
trade commission announced that at
the direction of the president it would
begin Immediately an investigation of
the high cost of foods in the United
States, with special reference to al
legged violations of the antitrust acts.
The department of agriculture will
assist in the investigation. Alleged
manipulations, control and conspira-
cies in distribution of food will be gone
into particularly.
President Wilson's letter directing
the inquiry is as follows:
IAN adequate supply of food prod
ucts is matter of concern to the ma
ton at all times. 1t is of particular
importance at present. Our domestic
food supply is normally very large and
has become increasingly varied In
some respects it has steadily expanded
and has kept pace with the increasing
population. Unfortunately, this is not
true, however. of large number of
important cereals, and particularly
meats.
1T has been alleged before commit
tees of congress and elsewhere that the
course of trade in important food prod
ucts is not free, but is restricted and
controlled by artificial and Illegal
means.
eff the allegations are well ground
ed, it is necessary that the nature and
rately determined, SO that proper rene
| dies legi ative or administrative, may
be applied. If they are not true, it is
equally essential that the public be in
formed
SIN any event, because of the grave
+ public interest which the food supply
affects. the efficient performance of the
duties imposed upon agencies of the
| government requires that all the peril
nent facts be ascertained.
Pursuant to the authority conferred
upon me by the act creating the federal
trade commission, therefore, ! direct
| the commission, within the scope of its
| powers, to investigate and report the
| facts relating to the production, owner
/
| ship, manufacture, storage and distri-
| button of foOdstuffs and the products
or by-products arising from or in con-
nection with their preparation and
manufacture; to ascertain the facts
| bearing on alleged violations of the
antitrust acts, and particularly upon
! the question whether there are manipu-
| Iations, controls, trusts, combinations,
conspiracieS or restraints of trade out
of harmony with the law or the public
| interest.
Il am aware that the commission has
additional authority in this field
through the power conferred upon it to
prevent certain persons, partnerships
or corporations from using unfair meth
DDS of competition in commerce"

TRAIN KILLS 2 GUARDS COME TO AGREEMENT
SWiTCHMEN GET EIGHT-HoUR
DAY AND OVERTIME.
All Danger of Great Rail Strike Over
Considerable Bitterness Shown
at Conference.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-The switchmen
connected with the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen will not strike.
After a conference which lasted late
into the night, Representatives of both
sides announced that all differences
had been settled and the railroad
managers had conceded the points de-
handed by the switchmen. The four
grievances presented by the union
men were adjusted in the first hour
of the conference, but the union OIL
Gals added the eight-hour day and the
time and a half for overtime demands
to the claims already submitted.
The committee from the Managers
association protested that they had
20 formal notice Of the wage and time
demands and the union officials with
drew their demands just before the
meeting adjourned.
Everything has been adjusted"
said James Murdoch, vice president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. "We told the managers how
much we desired the eight-hour day
and time and half for overtime, but
we did not force our demands. The
strike vote is now nullified. Ask Mr..
Hannauer for the details"
eve have reached a satisfactory
agreement with the men," said George
Hannauer, chairman of the managers
committee.
'"The danger of a strike is passed"
Dispatches from New York stated
that in case of a general strike the
government was ready to take over
the management of all the railroads
involved. This plan would not have
been opposed by the rail chiefs, ac-
cording to New York and Washington
messages.
Considerable bitterness was mani
tested in the conference, the railroad
managers charging the yardmen with
Selling on the international political
crisis as an added leverage in their de-
mandS.

U. S. PROBES 100000 FIRE
Big Blaze at Union Switch Plant, Pitts
burgh, Used in Manufacture
of Munitions.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 13.-The ma
chine shop building of the Union
Switch and Signal company at Swiss
dale, the largest plant for the manu-
facture of switch signals in the United
States, which was used until recently
in filling munition orders for Euro
pean governments, was destroyed by
fire on Saturday with loss estimated
at 100000. The cause of the fire has
not been determined. Officials of the
company believe it resulted from spon-
taneous combustion. More than 1000
shells in the packing room awaiting
shipment were probably destroyed.
United States Marshal Joseph Howley
announced that investigation of the
origin of the fire would be made by
agents of the department of justice.
