Importance of Menu Making.
Menu making is one of the most i'm
portant things of which a housewife
should have knowledge, DIR. Lang
worthy told the women.
The woman may. of course, select
food according to her circumstances
but she should do SO with her eyes
open. not buying Strawberries or green
peas in January believing it is for the
good of the family. or of mushrooms to
serve in the place of meat" said Dr.
Langworthy. The housekeeper who
serves sweet potatoes. white potatoes
squash and boiled rice at the same meal
shows poverty of invention. nor would
she be any happier in her choice if she
served such combination of green
vegetables as spinach, asparagus, cab
bage and cauliflower, since all are SINH
lar members of the green vegetable
group.
A varied menu may be secured in two
ways: Either by using a considerable
number of different food materials, OF
else by various methods of cookery
The ability on the part of the house
wife to supply the latter means is a
vital element of domestic economy
when, as now, the price of food ma
terials is high.

and the National Woman's Suffrage AS

What Serious Crisis Would Develop.

Should a more serious crisis develop
that is, if the United States should be
drawn into war-a similar and even
heavier burden would be imposed upon
the other departments of the Red Cross
Col. Kean has done wonderful work
during the last year in organizing base
hospitals" said Mr.. Wadsworth today.
Let me explain that base hospital is
not a mere collections of skilled physi-
clans, nurses and modern equipment.
Red Cross base hospitals, of which the
first, the Cleveland unit, was modified
in Philadelphia very recently and with
marked success, are in every sense of
the word units. They take over the
staff of large hospital already trained
TO work in harmony and with the least
possible friction and misunderstanding.
About twenty of these base hospitals
are actually organized today, and more
will ultimat ely be organized. The gov
eminent will, of course, take over these
hospitals in case of actual war, but I'M
til then the Red Cross must pay for
their equipment and all incidental ex-
penses. One base hospital costs just
about $4,000, not including dressings
and hospital garments. To complete the
program already mapped out will re-
quire between 100000 and 100000. l
need hardly point out that no measure
of national preparedness is more i'm
portant than this.

RED CROSS IS READY
FOR ANY EMERGENCY
Acting Chairman Says at No
Time Has the Organization
Been Better Prepared.
WILL NEED FUNDS IN CRISIS

At no time has the American National
Red Cross been better prepared for any
emergency than it is today. according
to Acting Chairman Eliot Wadsworth,
but the organization will be constantly
in need of funds. However. there has
been a noticeable increase in the past
month or SO in the Red Cross and the
chapters all over the country are doing
everything possible to stir up interest
They report much success in this move
ment.
In the event of war, the american
Red Cross would be called upon for mill
lions of dollars to take care of civilian
relief work in providing for the fami-
lies of dependent soldiers. In the recent
Mexican mobilization, much of this
work was looked after by the states.
but such might not be the case in the
event a strictly national army were

SWEDEN AND GERMANY

There are several reasons why
Sweden leans toward Germany in the
struggle in Europe In the first
place she is the most autocratic of the
Scandinavian nations, although her
form Of government is less so than
that of Prussia, the controlling state
of Germany, and the Swedish minist-
ers are responsible to the diet, or par
lament and not personally to the
monarch as in Germany. In the sec
ond place, Sweden has had a feud with
Russia since the days when Charles
XII of that country fought with vary
ing fortune and final disaster with the
Muscovite soldiers of Peter the Great.
ST. Petersburg, now Petrograd, was
built on land captured from Sweden
during this struggle. Later cars
wrested the Baltic provinces from the
big Scandinavian nation, including the
greater part of Finland. This left a
bad feeling which has ranked ever
since.
The immediate cause for the lean
ing toward Germany at present is to
be found in the necessities of Sweden.
In his International News Service let

IA, Karl Won Weigand, the famous
writer showed how utterly dependent

GERMAN PRETENSES

There should be no doubt about the
absolute autocracy of German gov
eminent. no matter how often we are
reminded that they have a popularity
elected legislative body called the
Reichstag In the first place, the
members of that body are not popu-
larly elected, few persons of conse-
quence having more votes than the
many common people. In the second
place. as the editor of the North
American Review" puts it, THE Reich
stag is not a Congress or a Parlia-
ment; it is a debating society, per
mitted to exist for purposes of decep-
ton, but utterly powerless." Any one
who may in the past have thought of
the German Reichstag as in any man
tatives, is asked to carefully read
the following, from the New York
Times:
The real legislative body of Ger
many is the Bundesrath. of which we
hear hardly anything. The Bundles
rath has not only legislative power,
but executive and judicial. The
Reichstag talks, but if it should pass
a resolution, the Bundesrath can veto
it, The reason we hear so much of
the conversational Reichstag and so
little of the potent Bundesrath is that
the Reichstag meets in public to in
dulge in oratory, the Bundesrath in
private to act.
The Bundesrath is not a body of
.4..As -.
appointed by the Kings and Princes;
it's sixty-one members are nominated
by and directly represent the mon
archs of the twenty-five states com
posing the German Empire. When the
Bundesrath meets the Emperor and
the Kings are in session; it's members
are their ambassadors, not in any re
spect the delegates of the people.
When it is said that the Bundesrath
has the power to veto any legislation
passed by the Reichstag, what is
meant is that the Princes have that
power. for the Bundesrath is the Ger
man monarchy in session. The Reich
stag is merely what it has been bitter
| ly called in Germany, "a hall of
echoes"
There are officials who are called
Ministers, but there is no ministry.
The so-called Ministers are merely
heads of departments, whom the
Chancellor is not obliged to consult
about anything; they are there mere
ly to receive orders, they are not much
more than bureau chiefs The Chan
cellOr is the only Minister He is re-
sponsible to the Emperor. The Reich
stag cannot remove him and cannot.
as in liberal mOnarchies, compel his
resignation by a vote of lack OF con-
fidence in him. 1t can only storm at
him, so long as the Emperor is salts
fled. Under the Emperor he is su
preme, accountable to no man.
And, after digesting the foregoing
the reader only needs to know that no
change of constitutional law can he
effected without the votes of forty
seven Of the sixty-One members of the
Bundesrath and that the Kaiser him
self appoints seventeen-three more
than is necessary to defeat any meas
