Even with liberal use in the family

These should be saved in some way.
Canning is the method most usually
employed, but it is possible that cans

surplus perishablcs. In such cases
many products easily can be preserved
by drying. BY this method surplus

products on trays in the sun, over a

WHY CONSTANTINE LOST THE GREEK THRONE
Greece is Being Led to War, Will She Fight?
By ADAMANTIOS TIL. PoLYZoIDEs
Greek Journalist

Twice within the space Of fifty-five
years, Greece was forced TO forego
her king at the bidding of her protect
ing powers. France, Great Britain and
Russia In both cases the process
took the aspect of democracy fighting
absolutism; in both cases the royal
.consorts were held in certain way
responsible for the doom OF their hus'
bands. And in both instances, the
main fight was between France-British
liberalism, and Teuton absolutism.
Ohio OF Bavaria, assembled the Greek
throne in 1882. and lost it in 1852;
Constantine of Greece, took posses
session Of it early in 1913, and was
forced out Of it on June 18th. 1917.
Ohio has been accused Of strong pro-
German ieanings, and he was held to
represent the Prussian rather than

was likewise accused Of lending his
ear much too readily to the councils

Constantine did not even get the

Ohio was a man, of ardent enthus-

eighteen years old. he was over

rightly jealous OF its hard won liber-
