THE GERMAN FLEET.

Some writers have urged that the Allied
fleets should give battle to the German
fleet which is bottled W. in the Baltic sea
and adjacent waters. The Allies have
three times as many first class battle
ships, eight times as many first class
cruisers and four times as many Destroy
ers as are possessed by the Germans.
Naturally this great preponderance seems
risk of the loss of many ships. If the
hostile fleets were to battle on the open
sea there would be no question as to the
result. But the allied fleet can reach the
Germans only by sailing for miles through
straits which are mined from end to end
and EVENT. these straits should be passed,
it would be at the expense of great loss
before striking distance of the German
base could be reached. Another objec-
ton to making an attack is seen when
we find that the German fleet lies under
she protection of land batteries of guns
which throw shells two or three miles
further than the guns of any ship can
do. 1t seems, therefore, that it is the
better naval strategy to let the German
fleet remain unmolested where it can do no
harm, and to continue to keepit there as
is being done, by sufficient naval guard.
One attempt has been made by the Ger
mans to let loose some of their swift
cruisers upon the high seas and the at
tempt failed, A few of these vessels at
large would be able to cause great havoc
m the coast cities of England, France
and even in the United States. Leaving
the hazard of naval battle in the Baltic
entirely out of consideration it appears
That the withdrawal of any vessels now
engaged in combating the submarines or
iscting as conveys would be mistake.

A Tribute to Women.

DR.. Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard is
one of the latest authorities to come out
with a denial of the old contention that
women ought to be pampered. He claims
for them tremendous powers of energy
and endurance. The capacity of women
to bear pain has long been acknowledged.
In this regard, men often seem like babies
besides them. And the endurance of
women in watching over the sick has
long been the subject of masculine amaze
ment. For weeks, in their devotion,
they can forget all about themselves, 60
ing night after night with little sleep or
no sleep at all and keeping marvelously
fresh and alert.

Other foods, the allowance of which is
the same for all, are apportioned as fol-
lows:
Cereals, other than bread, twelve

How to do Without Sugar.

The United States Food Administra-
ton makes the following suggestions for
desserts without sugar:
1.-THE American northeast is confront
ed with temporary sugar shortage This
is due partly to the unusual exports to
France in order to maintain there the ra-
ton of one pound per month per person.
The American people are still averaging
over seven pounds month. This allow
ance should be cut until the new crop
comes in. For the next two months
sugar economy is imperative.
Many housekeepers have been trying
out interesting sugarless recipes. Can
dies can be made from sirups, honey, or
fruit and nuts. Many sugarless desserts
are possible when sirups or dates are
used Honey cakes are delicious and
keep indefinitely. Hunt up the century,
old cook books for the recipes of your
grandmothers, they knew nothing of or
binary white sugar. The following reci-
pes are suggested:
DATE PUDDING. Arrange in creased
pudding dish alternate layers of faxed
rice and chopped dates until the dish is
three-quarters full. Fill dish with cold
hours.
RICE CUSTARD. Allow tablespoons
of rice, tablespoons of white seedless
raisins and 1 tablespoon of honey or
maple strip to a quart of milk. Bake
very slowly for hours. Slow baking is
necessary to secure rich, creamy con-
sistency. This pudding with raisins
omitted is simple and nouris hingde
sert for babies and invalids.
HONEY COOKIES. cup honey, / pit.
sour milk, e tablespoons fat, 1 teaspoon
soda, any flavoring desired, flour for soft
dough.
If you have sour cream which cannot
be used for making butter, pint of
cream may be substituted for the milk
and the fat.
Combine ingredients as usual, roll out
and cut with cake cutter. These cakes
will keep for months and improve in
flavor
BAKED APPLES. Prepare apples as
usual for baking. Fill centers with honey
instead of sugar, add few chopped nuts
if desired. Place in pan and add three
fourths of cup of water and one fourth
of cup of honey. Bake as usual.
INDIAN PUDDING. 2 cups milk, 1-2
cup corn meal, 2 eggs, IL tablespoon fat,
strip to taste, jam or marmalade.
Bring the milk to boil, sprinkle in the
meal very gradually, stirring all the
time, and cook over the fire until the
mixture thickens. Let it simmer for
half an hour. Remove from the fire and
stir in beaten yolks, the fat, and enough
strip to sweeten slightly. Place in
creased baking dish and bake in mod
crate oven twenty minutes. Spread tart
jam over the top of the pudding, and
cover with stiffly whipped whites of eggs
slightly sweetened with strip and flavor
ed to taste. Place in the oven and brown
lightly. Serve hot.

TAX THE FOREIGNER.

We are taxed when we buy railroad
TIC et taxed when we 60 to the post Of
fice, taxed when we 60 to places of
amusement. There are taxes on pills and
taxes on plasters, taxes on suspenders
and taxes on garters. In fact if there is
any little American manufacture or util-
ity which has not had petty tax placed
upon it, the omission is due to chance
and not to intent. We do not object to
ahls because we are patriotic citizens.
We stand up and support the govern
snent IN financial and military matters if
we do not agree with it in political mat
tiers. There are no American copper
heads worth mentioning in this crisis
We are in this war to win and our deter
mination is becoming stronger in it's
nnaniinity every day. We are going to
pay the tax on our cuff buttons, on gar
GeTs for the whole family and right down
through the whole tax schedule. But
- over in Japan there are thousands
OF women making matches and the daily
W ages is IL cents. The Underwood Near
free Trade Bill admits these matches in
to this country and puts tax of only 3
cents on IA boxes. We are cheerfully
willing to pay cents for having a letter
weighing one ounce or less, transported
IN a baggage car from Belfast to Brooks,
but we do strongly object to that kind of
democratic Democracy which opens the
best market in the world for IA boxes of
japanese matches, the consideration for
this privilege being the paltry sum of 3
scents. tits neither good business nor good
sense to tax ourselves to the limit and
through near free trade allow foreigners to
acquire a part of our markets without at
beast paying a reasonable tax for that
privilege. Under peace conditions the
Underwood Tariff Bill had demonstrated
that it was destructive to our business,
but considered in connection with our
revenue tax law it deserves more severe
condemnation than ever.

Children Escape in Night Clothes.

The farm buildings in East Warren
owned by Amor johnson were burned
last week, probably by an incendiary.
The fire started in the barn. Mr. John
son lost 10 cows, two horses, 80 tons of
hay, all his farm products, and most of
his house furniture. His hand was badly
burned while he was attempting to liber-
ate the horses. The flames spread very
rapidly to the house and the two children
escaped in their night clothes. The loss
was about $4,000, partially insured
