BERLIN WORRIED

Is Seriously Concerned De-

PEACE OFFER
STOUTLY DENIED
Germans Are in posses

logne Gazette

London, April 7.-America's part in
the war is giving serious concern in Ber-
lin and Vienna, despite thu indifference
affected by the German press, Judging
from the dispatches arriving here by way
of Holland, Denmark and Switzerland.
German advices say the rumors of a
peace offer by the central powers are de-
MED by Berlin A Berlin dispatch to
the Kolnische Zeitung adds that the prin-
ciple OF the readiness of the central pow
ers to enter into negotiations for ian
honorable peace" win not be changed by
events in America.
1--WE are in possession" the paper says,
"and we calmly await developments in
the enemy camp. We shall not allow
this claim, which IL founded upon sue
cesses on land and sea, to be snatched
from us. 1t is asserted that the Russian
giant is wabbling and will come tumbling
down Not the entry of America but
the degeneration of Russia is the decisive
element in the war"
Nevertheless, Germans are asking just

critics speak highly Of the American
army and navy, but find consolation in
the belief that neither can be adequately
differed, even if both arms were at pres
ent recruited to the authorized war
strength German experts nourish their
hopes on the idea that the submarine
operations day after daa, week after
week, here ship and there ship, will
end the war before America gets under
way The difficulty of transport for an
American expedition is also pointed out.
One Capt. Won Saltzmann is inclined
to welcome the entry OF the United /
States into the war, as wealthy America
would mean good pickings for victorious /
Germany. 1T will make easier the solv |
ing OF the question Of possible perquis- I
ties and compensation for the cost Of the I
war" he said.
Advices by way of Copenhagen indi-

to salads.
5. Overgenerous serving of food--Many
families take pride in serving lavish and
overbountiful meals. Such meals lead
inevitably to waste of food on the Ia
BILE and to oyereating, which often i'm
pairs health and efficiency. The same
standard, "eat enough food and no
MORE" rigidly followed, would reduce
greatly food bills in many homes and,
at the same time, tend to improve the
physical condition of all members of the
household.
Eat for Efficiency.
Housewives, interested in economy,
who wish to be certain that their fam
lilies are getting proper food and not too
much should ask the T. S. department of
agriculture to send farmers bulletin sos,
How to Select Foods What the Body
Needs" This bulletin Classics foods
into simple household groups and shows
the housewife how to plan meals that
will provide for the growth and repair
of the body and supply the energy the
various members of the household need
for their special tasks.

Old Looks?

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or baldhead
in early years is, indeed, often a sign of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously OF pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
drug store a small package of Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects of backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, govt, due to uric
acid in the blood should quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

PLAN TO INCREASE CROPS.
Indiana Will Have % Meetings To-day
of Farmers, Bankers and County Agents.

Indianapolis April NINETY two
meetings are in progress in the county
seats OF Indiana to-day to consider, as
war measure, the matter of increasing
crops. They are being held as result
of an appeal sent out Thursday night
by Gov. Goodrich. in which he urged
farmers, bankers, county agents and 9th
ers interested in agriculture to issue a
hurry call for a conference to be held
to-day in each OF the county seats to
consider the question of increasing and
conserving the food supply "for our coun-
try's sake"

S700,000,000 FOOD
WASTE IN HOMES
Garbage Pals, Careless Handling, and
Improper Cooking Waste Most of 1t
Rats, Mice and Insects Ruin
Large Quantities.

Good food heedlessly thrown into gar
bage pals, food allowed to spoil in TIN
household, food ruined by improper cook
ing, and food destroyed by rats, mice ant
insects constitute the heavy items in tn,
S100,O0O000 annual waste of food in
homes in this country cited recently by
the secretary of agriculture. Seven hun
dred million dollars is considered to b,
conservative figure. In household
waste, of course, are not included tn,
vast losses of food allowed under i'm
proper handling or inefficient marketing
methods to spoil in transit or in the
hands of producers or dealers.
Much of this $7O0,000,o0O household
waste of food, the dietary specialists OF
the Y. S. department of agriculture de.
clare, is easily preventable. This pre-.
ventable waste consists in large part OF
the following items:
|. Edible food thrown into the gar.
bage pail or into the kitchen sink. That
vast amounts of nourishing material are
thrown out from American kitchens and
so made useless for human consumption,
is well established by the returns from
garbage and fertilizer plants showing the
amount of fats and heterogeneous material
recovered from city garbage.
Much of the food is THROWN out, the
specialists say, because so many people
do not know how to utilize leftovers or
will not take the trouble to keep and
prepare them. The specialists point out
that leftover cereals can be reheated or
combined with fruits, meats, or yegeta
bles into appetizing side dishes. that
even a spoonful of cereal is worth saw
ing as thickener of soups, gravies and
sauces. Stale bread can be utilized in
variety OF ways in combination with
and meats and in preparing
hot breads and buildings. Skim milk, too
widely looked down upon as food al
though it contains practically all the
elements of whole milk with
the exception of the cream or fat, can
be used as beverage, in cooking cereals,
Or as a basis for milk soups or sauces.
Even sour milk, so largely thrown away,
'an be used in making hot breads or in
he home manufacture of cottage cheese.
Every scrap of meat or fish can be
combined with cereals or other foods
acking in pronounced flavor, both to give
iavor and to add nourishment to made
,ver dishes. Every bit OF fat or sue~
trimmed from meat before cooking or
rid out in boiling, roasting, or broiling
an be made useful in cooking, Many
butchers, after they have weighed meat
md named the price for the cut, trim off
-aluable suet and fat. This fat which
he housewife pays for, ii taken home
nd used, would reduce expenditures for
prepared fats. Water used in cooking
ice and many of the vegetables contains |
utrients and desirable favoring mater
