Far From Yielding.

by military and telegraph show that
Premier Kerensky and his govern
ment, far from yielding to discour-
agement are still animated by a
strong determination to organize all
Russia's resources in a whole hearted
resistance and carry the war through
to victorious completion. At the same
time this government, like those of
the Allies, is rendering all possible
assistance"
The Russian Embassy also issued a
statement
Russia is not out Of the war and
has no intention of quitting" said the
embassy statement. "No word in
Kerensky's interview gives warrant
for an assertion of that kind. AS a
matter of fact, the Premier stated
the exact opposite"
No Blame Against Allies.
"What Premier Kerensky's ex-
pressed" the statement continued,
twas only feeling of the Russian
people that aid and support should be
extended to them and that the en-.
couragement from the Allies is justi-
fed to a nation that has borne such
heavy burdens and is now in a period
of fundamental readjustment. No
word in the interview was intended to
express any blame or sarcasm against
Allied action.
Iof oh,
was given out to the press, shows
the real military conditions on the
Russian front. The best answer to
the malicious assertion that Russia is
out of the war will be the fact given
by this cable that we are holding at
the present time on our front lat di-
visions of enemy troops"
AS. another mark of confidence in
the Russian government the Treas,
ury authorized the immediate advance
of $31,700,OO0 out of the credits of
$325.000,O00 already authorized This
would bring the total actually paid
the Russian government out of cred
its previously authorized, up to $780,
90O, 1000
Credits totaling 1926, ,00O,O 900 to Rus.
STA have been authorized by the Treas
ury Including the latest transaction
there remains available for Russia
$134,100,000 and there is no intention
to withdraw any of the unexpended
credits. Indications are that the at.
titude of the American government
toward Russia. so far as the extension
of financial aid is concerned, is un-
changed by Premier Kerensky's state.

OFFERS CONSERVATION PLAN.
Iowan Says to Cut Out Pies, Maple
Sirup, Honey and Jam.

Put ban on rhubarb and gooseberry
pies, on maple strip, honey and jam,
and the cause of food conservation will
be enormously aided. in the opinion of
Loyal American" who has written
from Bacon Hills. Iowa, to Senator
Kenyon. giving his views on the mat
ter.
He doesn't care particularly for con-
serving pies and jam. but he wants to
save the flour that goes into the pies
and into the bread which is eaten with
honey and jam The writer estimates
that 100000 persons in this country
eat one or the other Of these sweets
every day: that figuring an ounce of
bread extra to each person who eats
maple strip, honey and jam, it would be
possible TO save 1,f40,625,00 pounds of
Hour that are now used.
The writer says that 20, cor, 900 Ameri-
can families eat on the average 10000
900 PIES and cakes a week, using up
about one pound and a half OF flour per
family. or about 1.o2o. 100000 pounds of
-four year.
The American people are accused Of
eating too much, any way, he says.
People who do not use these sweeteners
are just. as healthy. Those who eat
pies and cakes cat them after they are
filled up with other food.
II they must eat something extra"
he says. "let them eat dandelions, and

mushrooms. Exposure to the sun or

age makes any kind of food unwhole-
some. or even dangerous, and it is not
| denied that this holds good about
mushrooms. Thirty years of constant
handling. trying and testing every
known species Of fungi. in fresh and
dried form. at every stage of growth,

groups of mushrooms which contain
edible varieties that deteriorate under
ordinary conditions, to become dele

been called edible by certain authors
without being positive of it, it was
very unfortunate. as no plant should
| be classed SO unless it is edible always
and at all stages. unless the particu-
! lars are clearly defined.
The fact that mushrooms become
