Copenhagen Is Saddened.

Copenhagen, via London, April 5.-- Americas entry into the war cannot be said to have been received with favor in Denmark, either in official circles or by the public at large. The definite taking of sides in the con fiict by the last neutral great power i.-, however, no small matter for such a nation as Denmark. To this and other small European neutrals the alignment of America is a factor of such moment that apprehensions re- garding their own future difficulties oyershadow their sympathies with one side or the other. The loss of the moral support of the neutral United States in the effort to main- tain political and commercial neu- trality as between the two groups was deeply regretted in Copenhagen.

 'The man who last December championed peace today champions Q vaster war and is leading the new world to participation in the horrors of the greatest human butchery ever witnessed by the old world.''
 Cardinal Gasquet, who represents the British Catholic church in Rome, said:
 "The speech is the best exposition of Christian morality, which is the foundation of international law"

Great Emotion i'm Bcrne.

Geneva, Via Paris, April 5.-Great emotion has been caused in the little Swiss republic by the news that it's great sister N obout to enter the war. The Journal de Geneve says:
 Germany sees new adversary ar rayed against her whose wealth is immense, whose resources are inex- .haustible and who will bring into the war it's inventive genius and the steadfastness and energy of it's in- vincible people. It is not only for it's individual rests, it is for entire hu- manity that America draws, the sword.
 America certainly would not have drawn the sword if the public con- science had not been outraged by an accumulation of horrible acts. Will the German people understand the meaning of the American flag flying ever European battlefields !"

ATLANTA, Aug. chairman L. X.
Akin of the ways and means commit
tee of the House has introduced the
first bill of the revision of the general
tax act which has been introduced
since 1909, the bill having been COM
pleted and perfected by the committee.
The bill sets out to bring an increase
OF several hundred thousand rollars-
perhaps half a million-in the revenues
a general upward scaling of specific
and occupational taxes and adds a
large number of items not included in

When this bill comes up for passage

lightning rod agents, whose tax is re.
duced from $50 to $50.
The bill becomes effective January
II, 1918.

Do YOU KNOW

Do you know that a ten cent pack
age of lye added to your old fat, like
mutton fat and fat refuse which is use
less for cooking, will make ten pounds
OF excellent kitchen soap? All brands
CT I've have the directions on the pack
age
Do you know that ten cent package
OF lye dissolved in water and thrown
over a pail of old bones will make
them into an excellent fertilizer? The
solution should cover the bones.
Do you know that potatoes, know
matter how they are to be served,
should be cooked with the skins on
and pared afterwards? Not only is the
bulk much lessened by pairing first, as
the modern cook does, but most of the
nourishment and flavor are soaked out
and thrown away with the water used
III boiling?
Do you know our Puritan grand
mothers "de-hydrated" their herbs,
fruits and vegetables by exposing them
to the suns rays Fruits should be
cut in slices small enough to dry until
they shrivel; small apples, for instance
il quarters, large apples in Fights, and
other things in the same way.-From
the Vigilantes.

THE VISION OF THE FLAG.
By Julian NJ. Lyon
of the Vigilantes

Across the soft white midst of morn
The rising sun flung bars of red,
Stars twinkled on field of blue.
The vision burst upon the view
OF freedom watching for the dawn.
A moments space it hung, but soon
Before the orb of day it fled
And while they watched the glorious
sight
The world was bathed in golden light
s'Now God bestows on us boon,
Behold our Heay'n born Flag" they
said
