THIS APPOINTED TINE
Chancellor Hollweg Says
Germany Accepts Chal-
lenge to Fight to End.

Berlin, Feb. l.--ChancellOr Won Beth.
mann Hollweg and other ministers at
tended an important meeting OF the
| ways and means committee of the
reichstag today at which the entire
war situation was gone over and new
| steps planned by the central powers
were considered.
The chancellor opened the sitting
| with a speech Of which the keynote
words were:
We have been challenged to fight
to the end. We accept the challenge;
we stake everything and we shall be
| victorious"
In his address Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg explained why in March
and May OF last year he had opposed
unrestricted submarine war and why
in September, according to the unan-
imous judgment Of the political and
military authorities, the question was
not considered ripe for decision"
THE moment has now arrived" he
continued. last autumn the time was
not ripe, but today the moment has
come when. with the greatest prospect
OF success. we can undertake the en-
terprise. We must not therefore wait
any longer"
He pointed out that short cereal
harvests Of the world and the vitalness
Of the coal question would combine to
make the submarine campaign unbear-
able.
THE military situation rs n whole
permits us ito accept all the conse-
quences which unrestricted U-boat war
may bring. and as this U-boat war is
the means of injuring our enemies the
most previously, it must begin.' is the
statement attributed by the chancellor
to Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
1.-THE admiralty staff and the high
sees fleet entertain the firm conviction
a conviction which has practical
support in the experience gained in
U-boat cruiser warfare-that Great
Britain will be brought to peace by
arms. ox
Our allies agree with our views.
Austria Hungaria adheres to our pro-
cedures also in practice. Just as we
lay a blockade area around Great
Britain and the west coast of France,
in which we wiii try to prevent AL
shipping traffic to the enemy coun-
| tries. Austria Hungary declares a
| blockade area around Italy.
ITO all neutral countries, a free path
for mutual intercourse is left outside
/
offer as we did in 1915, safe passen-
ger traffic under definite conditions,
even with Great Britain"

TALKS ON HEALTH
(By Donald McCaskey, NJ. d.
DONE Osspise All Of Grandmoth er's
Remedies,

The greatest helpful influence for n
sleepless person is the help of a ia
vorable line of thought. One of the
simplest methods for the treatment of
insomnia is the free use of a pillow
under the head filled with pine heedles.
This method is Of course an old fash
toned one, but sometimes these old
fashioned methods are based upon a
highly scientific ground. OF course il
you are suffering from insomnia and
sleep with the fragrant odor of pine
underneath your nostrls, your
thoughts invOluntarily become asso-
ciated with sleep the moment you be-
gin to smell the fragrant pine odor.
The odor of pine is Il single idea which
becomes fixed upon the mind and as
ISOLATED with this goes the thought Of
sleep. Anybody who has ever camped
in n pine woods at night. and has made
their bed upon pine needles well knows
passing a night in such a fragrant
laden atmosphere.
The reason for n sound sleep in n
pine woods Is due to two factors. One
is the natural rest from physical wear
mess of the camper. In his out of door
surroundings, and the other is the de-
lightful odor of the pines. All delight
full thoughts at bed time gradually
soothe the mental process and be-
come conducive to sleep. This is why
the famous old pine pillow OF our
grandmother days still possesses great
virtue in insomnia.

No doubt this would be the ease with

Yesterday a change in the price of

to the many already affected by the
high cost of living.
When the envelopes are bought in
small quantities, such as five or ten,
the purchaser will scarcely notice the
per thousand averages only about one
and a half per cent.
The imprinted two-cent stamped en- =
velopcs, at the former prices, sold at
$2l a thousand, for the No. SIS. which
arc the most popular sellers, while un-
der the new scale, the price will be
,$21.32 a thousand. The No. 13's, I'M
printed will sell at an increase Of SO
cents per thousand, while the No. s
envelopes, the large size, will sell al
,, $22.12. instead Of $21.56, as before. The
printed stamped envelopes will be fur
nished at a similar increase in price
AS far as the local officials know. post
cards will sell at Il cent apiece, as
usual. Stamped newspaper wrappers
have also gone up in price, the one
cents, from $lO.72 to $l0.96 a thousand
and the two cents from $2l.24 to $2l.64

WHAT NEW YEARS SIGNIFIES
Time to Resume Another Journey OF
Life, Starting Out With a
Clean Slate.

The need OF getting n convenient
division of time into days and years
which correspond with the movements
of the earth and sun Is not sufficient
explanation of the New Years festival.
That need is wholly mechanical,
mathematical, and seryiceable. The
mood of New Years is not mechanical,
mathematical, or servlceabe. 1t is
wholly one of abandon and needless
ness.
Ii is such because the day represents
an accounting and spongng of the
slate. Life needs renewed beginnings.
1t cannot lead away across unbroken
and unmarked plains. 1t must have
its definite stops, its prospects in the
intimate future. The traveller must
have in thought as he goes along the
road possibility of a comfortable end
Ing Of the day mt an inn.
We seek constantly a realization of
completeness, of a beginning, mid
die, and an end. Life, which Is form
less, must have form given 1t. 1t
must have its stopping places, where
1t relaxes by a fire and is genial. 1t
cannot go on travelling without defined
purpose, with no objective, with no
inns inviting by the light through So
cial windows. II must have detectives
in the near prospect.
1t seeks definite and well laid out
plan, scheme, and, therefore, regard
less of the need of dividing time into
periods which can be used for the ma
terial needs Of people, 1t makes periods
which satisfy the demand for an OBJ
