.INTERNATIONALISTS"

Much comment has been caused by the unusual case of six Baltimore boys who were suspended from school because they declined to salute the flag, stating that they were "Interna- tionalfsts" Incidents like these sug- gets that there is a growing element in this country that frank ly does not consider itself American, but holds it. self only to some dreamy world wide organization.
 In the final world state it is con- ceivable that delegates may be sent to some Central Congress at Lon don, New York, or Tokyo, who may govern tho whole world. But that is many thousand of years distant at present outlook.
 The world makes the largest pro- gress where political and national di- visions exist, In that way every sec tion of the world gets a government best suited to it's own temperament and inheritance. The people of Gen. tral Africa. for instance, would not prosper under the democratic institu- tions prevailing with us. They would

SAUCES AND GRAVES.

The preparation and appearance of sauces and gravies are of the highest consequence in modern cooking, and in nothing else does the talent and taste of the cook so display itself. Their special suitability for the vari- ous viands they are to accompany cannot be too carefully studied in or der that they shall harmonize and blend with them perfectly.
 Sauces should possess decided character of their own; and whether sharp or sweet, savory or plain they should carry out their names in a dis tinct manner. A sauce may be hot or. cold, but gravy is invariably hot A sauce is usually served in sauce boat, while a gravy is in gravy bowl or tureen.

 NOT TO BE FOOLED

Unhappy Newly-wed writes: T was Well-of widow of 21 ten years ago. have just wed a stranger; a smooth talking, convincing business man, of thirty-seven who was widower with two large children that he loved. He cared little for me but questioned me morning, noon and night as to my means. He told of fifty plausible ways for my letting him invest my money. I was to give him the bulk of it, once, in his absence, a letter he had written fell from his pocket. It said, he was to fool the widow he wed and get her money for his children. He abuses me. Tells me only hard-luclz tales. Can we separate and I save my little a1l?''
 Widows are not easily fooled Your story being true, consult an honest lawyer, for safety, at once.

 1, A young man whom knew, holding
 an excellent position, was equally enamored of two very pretty girls one not knowing of the existence of the other. It seemed @ hopeless task
 to try to decfGe which one he cared
 most for. He was a jolly good fellow, spending his money lavishly on the one he took out. When the call came to go to Mexico, he threw up his good
 position, without a word of regret, and joined the troops off for the bOr- der. Upon his recent return he found another in his place: The firm did not iTeinstate him. There was nothing for him but to secure employment wher- ever he could. He called upon both of
 the girls, between whom his heart was balancing equally. Tn both homes, he
 was greeted warmly. To each girl he
 made a frank statement of his reverse
 of fortune. Going dut with a young
 man high in banking circles was one
 thing, and being seen dining in very
 much cheaper restaurants, with a young fellow who was only a sales
 man in a florist shop, now, was quite another matter as he was made to un- derstand by one young woman. The other girl held out both hands to him in deep sympathy.

not know how to use the tools of dem- ocracy. Similarly our people would not advance if placed under an auto cratic rule of kings and emperors.
 Nationalism permits every people to choose the form of government that bests suits them. Russia's experience the last few days proves that where a type of government is not best adapt ed to people, it will finally be over turnedy No matter how strongly it may be intrenched in tradition, and military power, it can not survive pop ular disapproval indefinitely.
 There is nothing to be gained by surrendering national lines in the present age. The preaching of this visionary idea merely serves to weaken the tie of obligation to one's own country, and it produces no other loyalty to take it's place. 'Interna- t1onalists" would better retire to the jungles of Africa, where national feel ing is not strongly developed, and where each little community and in- dividual can execute it's own savage will.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The hens at Storrs are still forging contest they laid total of 4,239 eggs which is approximately 300 better than for the corresponding week a year ago. During all the time that contests have been conducted at Storrs no pen has ever made a perfect weekly score. In fact it is out of the ordin- ary to be able to announce that dur ing the past week two pens of Wyan- dottes, six pens of Rhode Island Reds and three pens of Leghorns made per- feet daily scores.
 First honors for the week must be divided between two pens of Rhode Island Reds entered by Colonial Farm, Temple, N. H., and F. M. Peasley, Cheshire, Conn, each pen laying 54 eggs The same thing happened with the same breed for second place, as Pequot Poultry Farms Reds from Southport, Conn, tied with A. Allan's pen of Newport, R. l., with a yield of 53 eggs each Windsweep Farms S Leghorns from Bedding Ridge, Conn.,, were third with a yield of 52 eggs for one week. Two Rhode Island pens namely Obed G. Knights White Orpingtons and Laurel Hill Farm s Reds, both from Bridgeton, tied with 5 eggs each.
 A postmortem examination during the past week suggested careful ex- animation of the droppings boards. This led the conclusion that one or two pens were infested with intestinal worms. This trouble however, is not considered serious as a good vermi- fuge, followed by a purgative dose of epson salts usually means quick re- lief One of the more commonly recommended remedies and one of the easiest to administer is powdered po- megranite root bark. The dose is one teaspoonful for each fifty birds given in wet mash.
