Zimmerman the Agent of
Big Business in Germany
Hostile German View of His Methods, Motives and Policies
"A Prediction That He Will Fall Under
Popular Disapproval
By O. ]. MERKEL
Secretary Of the German University League

mcrmann. II was generally understood
that failure to bring about a separate
peace between Russia and Germany
forced the resignation OF both Mr. Won
Jagow as German Foreign Secretary
and DR.. Stuermcr as Russian Prime
Minister. As Dr. Zimmermann's re-
markedly pleasant personality had
made him a favorite with the German
legislators and journalists as well as
with the entire corps of neutral news
paper correspondents, his appointment
was heartily welcomed, but practically
no attention was paid to possible new
policies that he might represent.
Like Choice of Bryan
When Mr.. Won Jagow resigned it was
said that the Chancellor. Dr. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, found himself with prac-
tically only one possible choice of a
successor, as DR.. Zimmerman had per

German political life as far as possible
the much debated idea of democratic
control Of foreign affairs by consulting
with the Committee on Ways and
Means. the largest committee of the
ReiChstag, on every important question
Owing to the widespread popularity
OF Dr. Zimmerman, therefore, his APP
pontment as German Foreign Secre-
tary seems TO have resulted largely
from considerations somewhat similar
to those that are said to have caused
Mr.. Bryan's appointment as Secretary
of State. In both cases the desire of
having the cooperation of man per-
soma grata with influential legislator
has apparently been an important de-
'termining factor.
The wireless report about the rather
stormy six hours meeting of the Ways
and Means Committee of the Relcnstag
clearly indicates that Dr. zimmerman

of my friends last December not only

HOW TO RUN YOUR FURNACE
Saving of Coal and Better Service Will
Be Had II These Instructions
Are Followed.

There's a lesson for every household.
er in the pamphlet on how to save coal
just given out here by the anthracite
bureau of information. Listen:
Don't put in too much coal or toe
little.
Don't crowd it above the top of the
tirebricl; lining in range, cylinder stove
or hot-air furnace.
Fill the fuel space twice day in
winter weather, heaping the coal
Slightly in the center.
Don't add small quantities of coal
several times day, with attendant
shakings. Shake the crate only twice
duy before fresh coal is put in and
stop when bright light shows under
meath.
Don't leave the feed door open; II
cools the heating surfaces. To check
draft, open the check damper in the
stovepipe and shut the ashpit door.
See that the coal is properly con.
sumed and not shaken through the
crate to pass out with the ashes.
Keep the ashpit empty.
Don't use the wrong size of coal
it's uneconomical.
If right size and quality of coal are
used no ash sitter is required.

PROPER WAY TO SMOKE MEAT
Soft Wood Should Not Be Used in the
Process, for a Reason That viii
Be Apparent.

The proper smoking Of cured pork
alds materially its keeping qualities
and improves the flavor of the meat.
Brne-cured meat is ready to be
smoked after it has been in the brine
IRON hve to seven weeks. After the
meat is removed from the brine ii
should be soaked in lukewarm Wal
ter. or in water at temperature of
W degrees, for about "a hours. This
dissolves the salt from the outside of
the meat. If the meat Is smoked
without washing coating of salt is
found on the outside of the smoked
meat, which detracts materially from
It's appearance. After the meat has
soaked for period of about "a hours
II Should be taken out of the vessel
and hung up on racks where the water
can drain away or evaporate.
When thoroughly dry the meat:
should be hung up in the smokehouSe,
the pieces near the ceiling and at IL
short distance from one another so
thar all parts will be uniformly ex-
posrd 10 the smoke
He selection OF the fuel is of great
Importance. Soft woods should never
be used, as they give off too much
carbon which will be deposited on the
outside of the meat making it sooty
and giving it too-dark color. Green
hickory, maple or other hardwoods
should be selected. Corncobs make
an excellent substitute.
A steady smoke for from 3j to IS
hours is sufficient for mildly smoked
meal, If the meat is TO be kept until
late in the summer. it is well to smoke
ii for about three days. The fire
should be kept low 50 that the mini
mum of heat is given off. When too
much heat is given off the fat on the
meat will melt and run over the meat,
causing it to become Streaky Meat.
when smoked sufficiently, should be of
an amber color.

The man who has invented device

stop at any desired distance from the
place at which the person driving gets

notion is that the operator of truck

Two-Egg Cookies.

One cupfui butter, two cupfuls SUI
gar, two eggs, one-half to one cupfu,
milk, four cupfuls pastry flour or less,
six teaspoontuls baking powder. Cream
butter and add sugar gradually; add
milk according as rich, crisp or a less
rich and soft cookie is desired. Di'
minish the quantity of flour and bak.
ing powder if less than full cupful OF
liquid be used. Take little of the
dough upon the board at a time and
handle as little as possible. The
dough should be quite soft. If a cup
full of milk be used, pat into a sheet
and cut into cakes. After placing in
the pan dredge with granulated sugar.
Bake in quick oven.

Someone has said that of all people
in the world the Americans have the
worst manners in public. Whether
this Is an exaggeration or not, our bad
manners are amply In evidence in
most public places, especially where
there are crowds 1t is astonishing
how even people of breeding who in
private intercourse are polite and con-
siderate, lose all regard for others
when the relations cease to be per-
sonal. In short. with II vast number
of people courtesy does not seem to
be natural thing; but something
merely imposed by custom, and they
lapse from it rs soon as their rela-
tions to their fellows cease to be di-
rect and personal. Even in the use
of the telephone this lapse is notice
able, says Indiana Farmer. People
whose voices and manners are a.Iahle
in face to face conversation very often
answer their phone calls with a curt-
ness that would be positively resented
by anyone who was directly addressed
in such tone. }

TRY THIS COOKER
FOR PREPARATION
OF KITCHEN UTENSIL.
With Small Expenditure Of Money
and Time This Most Useful Ap-
pIiance Is at the Command
of Any Housewife.

A fireless cooker capable of giving
satisfactory service can be made In
the home at slight expense, If direc-
tions prepared by the office of home
economics of the department Of agri-
culture are followed.
The outside of the cooker may be
Il tightly built wooden box, an old
trunk, small barrel. a large butter or
lard tirkin or tin. or large galvanized
iron bucket with close-titting cover.
In general. n weIl-built. conveniently
sized box is perhaps most satisfactory,
though the cookers entirely encased in
metal have the advantage of being fire.
proof.
If a box is to be uspi. its size will
depend on the size of the cooking ket-
tie to be used in it and on whether
there are to be one or two compart-
ments. 1t must be large enough to
allow for at least four inches of pack
ing material all around the nest" in
which the cooking kettle is to be
placed. For the sake of cleanliness
and convenience the nest should be
lined with metal and should be IL trite
larger than the cooking utensil. If an
extra source of heat. such as n hot
brick Or plate. is to be used, a metallic
lining for the nest is imperative. For
this purpose a galvanized-iron or other
metal bucket may be used or. better
still, a tinsmith can make a lining of
galvanized iron or zinc which can be
provided with rim to cover the pack
ing material. In case no hot stone or
plate is to be used in the cooker. the
lining can be made of strong card
board.
For the packing and insulating ma
terial variety of substances may be
used. Asbestos and mineral wool are
good and have the additional advan-
tage that they do not burn. Ground
cork (Such as is used in packing
Malaga grapes). hay. excelsior, Span
ish moss, wool, and crumpled paper
may also be used satisfactorily. OF

talner
the inexpensive materials that can be
obtained easily, crumpled paper is
probably the most satisfactory, since
it is clean and odorless and, if proper
ly packed, will hold the heat better
than some of the others. To pack the
cOntainer with paper, crush single
sheets of newspaper between the
hands. Pack n layer at least four
inches deep over the bottom of the
outside contalner, tramping it in OF
pounding 1t in with a heavy stick of
wood. Stand the container for the
cooking vessel, or the lining for the
nest, In the center of this layer and
pnck more crushed papers about it as
solidly as possible. If other packing,
such as excelsior, hay, or cork dust,
is used, it should be packed in u siml-
lar way. Where an extra source of
heat is to be used 1t Is much safer to
pack the tireless cooker with some
noninflammable material, such us as
bestos or mineral WOOL A cheap and
easily obtained substitute is the
slllull ClHueIS sllleu lEOul COll uSlleS,
preferably those from soft coal, which
may be obtained at the boiler house
of any mill. The cinders from hard
coal burned In the kitchen range will
do, however. Experiments with this
material made by home-economics spe,
cialists of the department showed that
1t Is very nearly as satisfactory as
crumpled paper MS a PACKING material.
If n tireproof packing material is not
used n heavy pad Of asbestos paper
should be put at the bottom of the
metal nest md sheet or two OF
asbestos paper should be placed be-.
tween the lining Of the nest and the
packing material. Whatever packing
material Is used, 1t should come to the
top Of the container for the kettle, and
the box should lack about four inches
of being full. A cushion or pad must
be. provided to ill completely the space
between the top Of the packing and
the cover of the box after the hot ket-
ties are put in place. This should be
made Of some heavy goods, such az
denim, and stuffed with cotton, crum.
pied paper, or excelsior. Hay may be
used. but will be found more or less
odorous. sT

tartar has gone up in price it may In
terest you to know that this Is due to
the scarcity of argol, from which 1t Is

lessened manufacture Of wine In

Great building enterprises are hurried

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY v. M. PIERCE, NJ. d.


The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood for a hun
dred years.
In recent years investigation by means
of X-rays, the observations Of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow-
Ter, Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is necessary
in good bodily. housekeeping. Drink
plenty of water with each meal. Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suffer
with lumbago or rheumatism at times,
pain in the back or back of the neck, take
be found at any good drug store. There
fore my advice to young or old is, always
drink plenty Of pure water. And for long
life, occasionally take tablets Of Anuric
three or four times a day.
Anuric much more potent than
lithia. You will find it dissolves uric
acid as water does sugar.
