esrard,a Use of German.

A correspondent of the Westmin
ster Gazette sends to that paper his
impression of American Ambassador
Gerard's use Of the German language
as ii sounded to him in Ruhleben.
Heard from the back of the room,
he writes, "the speech did, no doubt,
sound like American, with variations {;
but listeners in the foreground de
clared that both grammar and vocabu'
larry we're accurate. The sentences
were, for German sentences, rather
short One was not Kept waiting an
xiously for the verb, as for difficult
catch in the long field; nor was the
verb announced, In the German style,
by the premonitory rumbllngs of semi
detached propositions. But the flow
of words was easy, and all the points
were made, and the only effect of the
peculiarities of the ambassadors ac'
cent was to inspire the deputation
with fuller confidence in his goodwill
and Anglo-Saxon sympathies."

MIX DOUGH WITH SEA WATER
Wider Adoption of the Practice Is Rec
commended by French Naval Phar-
maclst, Health Advantages.

1t has long been custom in certain
parts of France to make up the dough
for bread with sea-water instead OF
using, as is customary, fresh water.
with the addition Of salt required to
make bread bota healthful and appe-
tizing, says the Literary Digest M.
Albert Saint Sernin, French naval
pharmacist of the first class, urges the
wider adoption of the practice, which
has, according to him, several advan-
tages the bread keeps moist longer,
owing to the affinity for water pos
sessed by the magnesium chloride sea-
water contains; 1t is very wholesome,
since it provides not only the chlordes
of sodium and magnesium, but other
mineral substances which the body can
make use OF.
The water must be collected at q
suitable distance from land and should
be taken from depth of six or seven
yards If possible. The yeast must be
prepared with fresh water and the salt
water used for mixing the dough. The
French writer adds:
Bread made with sea water, useful
for everybody, is to be recommended
especially for growing children, for
convalescents, and for all those who
need to repair the wastes due to fever

Four.Arc Rainbow.

A four-arc rainbow was seen by a
vessel at sea recently, one pair inter-
secting the other pair. Two arcs are
often seen on land, and three are some
times seen; but the iDvariahle rule is
that these arcs all have common
center lying below the horizon. The
explanation of the two pairs of arcs
was, however, quite simple. The sea
Mt the time was exceptionally calm,
and acted as gigantic mirror. Two
of the arcs. which had common cen.
ter below the horizon, were due to the
sun itself; the other two arcs, which
had common center above the horl.
zon, were due to the reflection of the
sun in the sea.

from him; but He sends all of His gifts to the children of the earth. asking them to realize that He is the giver. He gave His only begotten son not to his friends, not those who loved him alone; but He gave him to those whom He knew would nail Him to the Cross and put the spear into His heart. Our Heavenly Father, I say, gave Jesus to his enemies the same as He gave Him to His friends-that you and all of us might be saVedt
 God asks us to do nothing He will not do Himself. We have been laying stress upon only one kind of giving-that of our money. Had we only followed the example of our God and given our children, what a different world this would be this very moment.
 The Divine Call comes for all these gifts. God does not ask alone for our money or our material gifts but he does ask for our lives
 A man said to me the other day How is it that the members oi your church can build such beau tiful building as is being built oi North Central Avenue, surely you must have a wealthy congregation l said No, my brother, God does not call alone for wealth, but He does call for consecrated lives The consecrated life is what we want that is what God is calling for to- day.
 Young men, will you stand out and give your whole lives to Jesus | Christ, thinking not of the mater ial things, but only of the spiritual things? Young woman, will yoJ stand out and say, Here is my life Jesus, I have kept it clean and pure for you. Use it where you will?'
 We have been trying to hold oul children to our own hearts-to hold our sons to our own bosoms, ana now the country calls, give me thy boy to be sacrificed upon the altel of War-and you have no other re. course because Our Country calls, Beloved. God calls for our boys and our girls. Let us send them tC Him, let us give them to Him tha the Gospel of Jesus Christ may g, around this world as never before. Someone has said the war is awful and it is; but let us look beyond the war. Is it too much that our boys should shed theil blood if out of the shedding of theil blood should come a united church if out of this war should come 2 united world?

DIVINE GALL
 TO ALL ME N

Beginners Department 31, Primary s0. Intermediate 47, Senior I5, and Adult 167-or a total of 362 was the attendance in Bible School of the First Christian Church yesterday morning, which is meeting in the Phoenix High School Auditorium while the Church is being built on North Central Avenue After Bible School and communion, Mrs. R. Thane Cook rendered a beautiful solo, "The Prodigal Son.
 Rev. MT. Buchanan as the Scrip lure lesson read Matthew 5:37-3S and took for his subject "A Divine Call" with his text from Acts 20:35: Tn all things l gave you an ex- ample. that so laboring ye ought 10 help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said: It is more bless d to give than to receive" Il part he said:
 T want to talk to you a short time this morning upon the subject 5f A Divine Call Our life is made of what we receive and what We give: and ones character may be estimated from the answer to two questions: First, what has he re- ceived? and. second. what has he given. Friends, the one great thing In life is not to receive, but the most beautiful thing in life is the giving that others may be blessed. Jesus comes to us with the text saying that the blessedness of life comes thru giving, not thru re- ceiving-no so much what I am, put what I am doing with my life. Not my will, but my Heavenly Fa- ther's will be done-that's the thought of the Gospel Are we try Ing to follow His will? Are we trying to obey Him? That's the thought of the entire life of Jesus Christ and His entire message; .hat's the thought I want to bring 70 you today.

 It was reported in one quarter that Carolina mills had been buying extra staples freely during the past week or ten days. Elsewhere it was stated that Liverpool had been bidding very full prices for extra staple in south ern markets, but that the lack of freight room had interfered with this export business.
 It was reported, but not definitely confirmed, in the market this week that between 35,o00 and 10000 bales of Egyptian cotton has been bought by mills f. o. b. Alexandria on the prospect that 8. ship will be pro- vided later. It was confirmed this week that one importer has been were offering f. o. b. Alexandria were agreeing to ship the cotton, if pos- sible in November or December on the agreement of the mill that if no ship was provided in these months the mills would carry the cotton on and after January 1.
 Some houses state that they have not sold a bale of cotton f o. b. Alexandria, and in view of Italian military developments this week, with their threat of possible trouble in the Mediterranean, they say they are glad that they have not done so. Cables from Egypt have been very irregular. The latest information gave a. good tire grade of Sakellar- idis at soc to 52c and uppers at 391sc to 40hc.
 As to Sea Islands. it was reported that one large cotton firm has been buying heavily this past week, and it was reported that there was some inquiry in this market. At the close of the week quotations of different houses varied % 8 pound. ranging from 74c to 75c.

MORE EFFICIENCY
BY RAILROADS
WA RCONDITIONS ARE EXACTING
GREATER EFFICIENCY BY
AID OF COOPERATION.

ATLANTA, Oct. 31.-The railways
of America have now arrived at the
period when they will experience the
greatest difficulty they have ever con-
fronted in handling the nations traf-
fic, according to railway officials, large
shippers and officials of this city who
have made a close study of the rail-
road problem as it concerns the con-
duct of the war.
Within the last eighteen months,
and more especially within the last
six months, the railways have in
creased the efficiency of their facili-
ties to an extent which was I'M
dreamed Of a few years ago. In July
they handled IT'S percent more ton
miles with each freight car and al
most 10 per cent more ton-miles with
each freight locomotive than they did
in July 1916. They handled almost
so per cent more ton-miles with the
same equipment than they handled in
July 1915. This was done through
cooperation by the shippers in load
ing cars to their full capacity, and
keeping them on the move without
loss of time in yards.
