BUFFALO GREETS SUNDAY.
First Days Collection Breaks Boston
Record.

Buffalo, n. T., Jan. 30.-BufTalo pro-
yijed $4,000 persons Sunday as an su-
dience for Billy Sunday at the opening
meeting of his campaign here. From au-
tomobilcs, street cars and sidewalks they
stormed the big tabernacle in the ball
park. Sunday hurled his well known
epigrams at the audiences with all the
FIRE of which he is capable, and reused
all, seemingly, to a pitch of enthusiasm
never equalled here
"The Question OF the Ages" ''The
Grenadiers" and ''The Sins of Society
were Sundays topics. I'm the evening he
raped The fabric of social pretence and
stormcd at the Siggly, frizzled headed
young women and girls who skimp on
clothes and morals.
His audience OF more than 1900 was
mneh impressed.
More than 100 churches, among them
Bufalo's foremost, are backing Sunday
in his campaign. Mrs. Thomas Bissell
has turned her home, a fine dwelling,
over to Sunday and his immediate party,
and Volney p. Kline, executive chair
man. is caring for the rest. Collections
totalled more than $4,000. according to
II. W. Dcyo. chairman OF finance.
BufTalo's first days collection is the
largest recorded since Sunday began his
work. Boston set the pre-
yious record Of $500.

Why They Never Get Ahead.

One man says to another in an article
in the February American Magazine:
Bert he said, speaking very slowly
and impressively, I've always made it a
rule in business to accept designations,
and I'm going to accept yours. But I'm
going to tell you something, and you
can pass it on to Anderson with my com
pliments. You two young fellows are
in the most dangerous position of any
two young men know You have abil-
ity, too darned much ability. If you had
only little, so that you had to sit
tight and plug every minute, you'd be
fairly safe. You'd move along up in,
business slowly but surely, as the fellows
ahead of you died off, But you two are
brilliant. It's true you can get your so

that's your danger. You will go rolling
around collecting so week here and 30

enough in one place to get rs week. or

not give me credit for much sense now,
but when | was your age | was exactly

ARMED SHIPS
MAY ENTER
q New Set Of Regulations
Governing Armed
Merchantmen
A CONCESSION TO
GREAT BRITAIN
England's New Policy Will
Not BE Opposed by
This Government

Washington, Jan. 30.---State depart
ment officials let it be known yesterday
that the United States government has
under consideration the advisability OF
issuing new set of regulations to Amer
lean port officers governing the status OF
armed merchantmen. Judging from inti-
nations let drop in this quarter, the gov
eminent will probably take the position
that the merchant vessels of Great Brit
ain and other belligercnt powers are en-
titled TO carry heavier armament than
heretofore and to mount their guns for
ward as well as aft without losing their
right to the customary privileges accord
ed merchant vessels at American ports.
Should this action be taken it will in
volve a notable concession to Great Brit
ain, which is preparing to increase the
armament of its merchant craft. 1t may
be expected to bring forth vigorous
protest from Germany and may lead to
serious complications with the govern
ment of that country.
The action would be based, it is said,
on the view that the recent operation of
German submarines has been of such a
character as to warrant the American
government in permitting merchant yes
sells using it's ports more liberal degree
o. defensive armament.
Under the orders issued to American
port officers at the outbreak of the war
it was specified that among the factors
determining the inoffensive character of
merchant ship were the following:
That guns should not exceed six inches
in calibre; that there should not be more
than two of them; that they should be
mounted aft.
According to press reports from Lon
don the British admiralty has issued, or
is about to issue, orders directing British
merchant vessels to carry guns of larger
.alibre than six inches and to mount
chem forward as we'll as aft.

prevent spilling oil in the drawer AID
soiling anything there.
Wet sawdust used in cleaning cellar
will prevent a great deal of dust from
rising. Brush the walls and ceiling of
the cellar first, then clean the shelves,

throw quantity OF wet sawdust over it.
1t will take up the dust and ashes as you
sweep.
When cutting up old cloths for dust
ers, take few moments to hem them
on the machine with black or colored
cotton. They will be regarded as of
much more value by the washerwoman
and will be returned, whereas cloths
that are not hemmed are generally con-
sidered as valueless. The hemmed cloths
win also present a neater appearance.

Pain is no respecter OF persons" says
DR.. Il. L. Abogado. 1T knows no distinc-
ton OF race, creed or wealth. The pain OF
the man OF millions with his equity foot is
Just ms excruciating AS Is that OF the most
lowly citizen nursing his jaw In frenzy OF
neuralgia. For the time being the one
thought uppermost In the minds OF both Is
that they would gladly give their all to get
lid OF tho pain.
The prominent symptoms of most dis.
eases are pain and fever and have found
that antf-kamnia tablets are equally as
effective as fever reducers as they are as
pain reviewers. Therefore, in any diseases
where pain or fever exist either separately
or together. antf-kamnia tablets have their
proper use. For instance. i have used them
with most gratifying results in the troat-
mont OF all kinds OF headaches, migraine,
eoryza, la grippe, and its after effects; a.
sedative In INDIGESTION, gastralgia, dys-
pepsia, hysterin and insomnia: % an anti

Delicious Desserts.

Hamburg Cream-Stir together the
rind and juice of one lemon, one half
cup of sugar and the yolks of four eggs
which have been well beaten. Cook
for about three minutes in the double
boiler but be sure not to let the mix
ture cook long enough to cunlle. Take
from the fire and add the whites of the
eggs. Serve cold in custard glasses. This
is very nourishing dessert on account
of its containing so many eggs.

Now whip the white of one egg with a
tablespoon of powdered sugar and one.
quarter teaspoon of salt until it is stiff

to serve, place few preserved cherries,
Strawberries or other marmalade or jelly
in the center of each pineapple slice
Then make mound of the meringue
on top of each slice. Whipped cream
may be added or not as one pleases.
This is very delicate dessert and is Ca
pable of many variations, since one can
use any fruit or preserve that may be
on hand.

for this rich dessert, which is really
coffee layer cake, are four eggs, one cup
of sugar, one and one-half tablespoons
of mocha essence, three-quarter cupful
of -four, one tablespoonful, of baking
powder. Fold the beaten whites of eggs
into the cake batter last of all. Bake

sence and enough hot water to make

til it works easily. In a separate bowl,

Lockets for Slender Threats.

When Victoria ruled, most women
wore lockets. And many of them--the
women--wore lockets on fine sill<en cords
suspended around their lovely, slender
throats.
Victorian things are in vogue again,
speaking sartorially, Victorian manners
may never return to fashion, so perhaps
nobody will ever have chance of judg-
ing their claim to superiority over the
rough and ready manners of the present
at first hand. But Victorian clothes,
much modified are in fashion. And 50
it has come to pass that the threats of
the day, not so fair and not so slender
as those of fifty years ago, are again
encircled with silken cords from which
depend pendants of some sort.
Rattail cord is a sole silk cord that
is sold for pendants. 1t costs only eight
or ten cents yard. 1t comes in black
and in a few colors. The black is most
although some of the tan
shades, used with tan frocks, are smart,
too.

Washington Observers Be-
lieve Wilson Will Convey
a Hint to Germany
THAT 1T is HER
NEXT MOVE
President to Address Cham
Der of Commerce of Unit
ed States on Friday

| Washington, Jan. 30-0fficial Wash
| ington is on the alert to see whether
| President Wilson will set forth in greater
detail his views on the subject of peace in
an address which he will deliver next
Friday night in this city at the opening
of the fifth annual meeting of the Cham
Der OF Commerce of the United States.
There are many officials who believe
the president may seize upon the oppor-
tunity to hint more strongly to Germany
that it is up to her to make the next
move If the peace movement is to receive
any further impetus. 1t is we'll known
fact that the president thinks the Ger
man government could aid the situation
less definite form the terms upon which
less defnitef orm the terms upon which
it would enter peace conference. In his
recent address to the Senate the prcsi-
dent was careful to draw comparison
between the detailed response of the en-
tente powers to his request for a state
ment of terms and the reply of the cen
trail powers, which outlined no terms but
proposed an immediate meeting of repre-
sentatives of the belligerents.
For some time past the impression has
been conveyed in semi official reports
from Berlin that Germany would be will
ing to set forth her terms in secret TO the
president. Thus far, however, it is stat
ed in official circles, no such tender has
been made, and it is the opinion of Off
Gals that the president would prefer to
have the terms set forth publicly, believ-
ing that if they are in any sense moder-
ate favorable impression might be
caused among the peoples of the entente
The whole theory of the recent moves
by the president has appeared to be that
the masses on both sides in the European
war are tired of the fighting and would
be disposed. if reasonable basis of peace
could be suggested, to override the OBJ
ieetions OF their statesmen. That being
the case, officials here assume that he
would prefer that the next proffer from
Germany be made publicly.
The president has not yet begun work
on his inaugural address, but it is as
sumed that he will make this speech also !
a medium OF further message ON the
subject of peace.
Former President William II. Taft, |
whose views on the subject of league to |
enforce peace approximate those of Presi-
dent Wilson, will also be speaker at
the Chamber Of Commerce meeting, and |
it is understood that he will discuss the
subject at some length.

Here Are Some Hints for the Autos

Here Are Some Hints for the Autoist
In the February Woman's Home Com
panion there is an article about motor
ing in which the writer says:
"The good driver never applies brakes
swiftly except in an emergency. When
drawing up at street side, she cuts off
ignition early and allows momentum TO
carry the car to the stopping place, using
the service brake gradually. The good
driver thus saves gasoline and wear upon
brakes, coasting to stop with the
smoothness of operation of an easy start.
"a good driver never uses the emer-
gency brake, because she never has emer-
genciesl She sees and avoids the emer
gency before it arrives; the poor driver
PUSHES into trouble and depends upon
quickness in grabbing the emergency lev
err to save life. More than one accident
has followed futile attempt to find the
seldom used emergency lever in hurry
'The good driver rounds sharp corners
to the right, goes over extremely rough
stretches OF road, or hits unexpected
thank you.m ANS, with clutch olsen
gagged, to save the rear axle mechanism.
"The good driver uses the wheel with
the least possible motion She does not
drag it suddenly from side to side, but
turns it so gradually that passengers are
unconscious OF the fact. In rounding a
corner she commences to strsighten the
rar mp before it is half way around"
