 The damage extended to distant pre- cincts and to sections where plate glass fronts were reduced to masses of debris while the extent and seriousness of the destruction increased in the working quarters nearer the explosion center Two distinct working districts adjacent to the scene of the main explosion suf- fered heavily in leveled houses. One of the improvised hospitals was opened for the reception of children.
 The flremen directed their chief ef- forts to restricting the area of destruc- ton and preventing the fire spreading to other nearby warehouses and factories. This was largely successful and com paratively little Damage was done the warehouses;.

 No attempt has been made to collect casualty lists. The majority of the dead and many of the severely injured are as yet unidentified.

IN PLACE OF BUTTER.

The time may come when we will
recall TO our children or grandchil-
dren the time. long ago, who we ac-
tually used butter in cakes and muf-
fins. Perhaps then butter will be
so cents a pound and will be served
sparingly in delicate slices merely
as a spread for bread or an addition
TO cooked vegetables.
Even now If we look back in our
old recipe books we are a little sur
prised TO find cake and cOoky re-
cipes that call for a half cup or
three-quarters of a cup of butter.
When we stop to figure if we carry
out these rules with the best butter
il makes our cakes and cookies
rather expensive.
Rightly enough most of us hest
tate in ecOnomizing in butter. First
OF all. butter is very good for us.
Butter and eggs, in fact, are about
the only kinds Of food TO which no
one seems 10 raise an objection.
Even in an anti-fat diet nowadays
butter is allowed in small guam
titles. because its beneficial effect
far outWelghS Its fattening tendency.
And rightly. too, the housewife with
good sense does not permit the
grocer 10 give her second or third
grade butter. because 10 finely
keyed palate there is nothing quite
so repellent as butter that is not
the best
Still we must be thrifty and but
ter is extremely expensive.
The only thing TO do is to use but
ter substitutes in cooking-and al
most all the butter substitutes are
just as nourishing and just as whole
some as butter.
Don't make light work of select
ing the butter substitute that you
wish TO use. Get one that you know
is pure. Those bearing a trade

mark are sure TO be up to the mark,
because they are standardized in
quality. and government inspection
makes it impossible for a standard
lied product to pretend TO be some
thing that il is not. When il comes
TO second-rate buffers and olecmar-
garines, not sold under brand
name and not in packages or car
tons, adulteration is much easier.
The housewife very frequently has
family prejudice TO overcome in re-
gard TO butter substitutes. A lot of
people pride themselves on being
able 20 detect butter substitutes in
cakes, when as a matter of fact they
are not. And while ordinarily the
housewife rather hesitates at call
ing the bluff of a finical member
OF the family at times like these
she may have TO. If she dares then
the best thing to do is 20 go TO work
and quietly put the butter substitute
in cakes. mullins and other cooked
dishes-perhaps at first in only one
sort Of dish--and then wait for OBJ
jections or Discrimination on the part
OF the finlcal ones TO partake or that
particular dish. II the objections do
not come she may proceed-but still
tactfully.
She really ought still to concede
that the one who prides himself on
discriminating palate would find
most substitutes unpalatable. but the
particular substitute that she has
selected should be presented as very
different II the director is the one
who pays the bills he will usually
concede that the substitution is I'M
perceptable; and if the director is
not the one who pays the bills
well, why should he or she know
that the substitution has been made
II IL is wholesome and palatable that
is enough.

Your Wedding Day
And the Famous Men and Women Who Have Shared Il
With You

May 16-Guy Carleton and Lady
Maria Howard.

May 16-Guy Carleton and Lady
Maria Howard.
The reason why Guy Carleton -
Lord Dorchester-did not marry till
he was as was simply that when a
young man-at the age when most
men choose their life partner-he
had been disappointed lie was very
much in love with his cousin. who
for some reason or other. preferred
another. So Carleton found FORGET
fitness In his duties as a soldier and
so engrossed was he in his career
that 1t was many years before ne
again thought of winning a wife. To
say that he eliminated the element
OF romance and went about the mat
ter in a more business-like way on
this second occasion would not be
far from the truth.
An old friend of his-a man of his
own age-was Lord Howard. who
had two comely daughters. Lady
Anne and Lady Maria. For many
years these girls had been used 10
seeing Carleton as an occasional Wis
itor at their fathers home and they
had never thought of him in the
light of a possible wooer Appar-
emily Carleton had. for one day he
came and asked to interview Lord
Howard alone.
Lady Anne and Lady Maria with
their companion. Miss Seymour. sat
in another room and wondered or
what errand their old friend had
come, when presently Lord Howard
sent for his daughter Anne. When
Anne returned. her eyes were swol-
len and red from crying. Naturally
the sister and companion asked heI
the trouble and Anne is reported as
saying:
Your eyes would be red il you
had just had to refuse the best man
on earth"
Neither Maria nor Miss Seymour
needed 20 know the reason; for Lady
Anne was already in love with a

scarcely a criticism OF the offenders

that there was no possible ground
for conviction, the majority felt that
anything so severe as the expulsion
OF the said members was. uncalled
for. AS these resolutions left no al
tentative but the designations Of the
offenders. they were rejected two TO
one. Afterwards the original reso-
lutions were adopted by a vote OF
Sc to 1e.
The real spirit OF the club might
be expressed in the words of for
mer United States president: Above
all things let US be fair" While all
the speakers voiced their highest
ideals Of patriotism and sternest
judgment on any word or deed
aimed against our government, there
was a manifest effort TO temper jus
tice with mercy. The only pro-Ger
man utterances noticeable was a
reference to Pres't Wilson's request
that as good citizens we remember
to include in our synpathies at this
trying time those among us of Ger
man birth who are now placed in
the most difficult position. Enthus-
iasm in a good cause may lead to
excuses and patriotism IL uncon-
trolled by sane judgment may lead
to persecution. To an unbiased OBJ
server in the club rooms the prevail
ing sentiment seemed to be Let us
at every time, in every place, pro-
claim and teach and preach. and
live. Americanism; but let it be true,
consistent Americanism."
