Adelheid won kienitz?
4 She was funny little defOrIned
person, aged, perhaps, seventy, widow
of the great General Won kienitz, who
had served In the Franco-German cam
paign. and who before his death, had
been acknowledged to be as great
strategist as Lord Roberts.
Countess Won Kienitz was the daugh-
ter of a certain Countess Won BOrcke,
and after living for many years in re-
tirement in her picturesque old schlOsS,
perched on Il rock not far from the
famous wine district of Berncastel, on
the Mosel river, became suddenly
seized with an idea to re-euter Berlin
society.
With this view she rented q fine
house not far from the Leichtenstein
bridge and early in 1911 commenced
q series of wildly extravagant enter
tainments with view, as 1t seemed to
me. to attract the more modern and GO
ahead section of Berlin society.
One afternoon, seated by the crown
prince as he drove recklessly his great
Mercedes car along the Bismarckallee
in the direction of Potsdam, we passed
an overdressed old woman, very artii-
cial, with yellow hair and short stat
ure.
Look, Heltzendorff! Is she not like
Won Kienitz?'
Eyes, her figure is very similar" l
admitted.
'-Ah! The old woman was introduced

"She certainly seems very curiou

So narrow is the margin, Armours very existence
depends upon tremendous Uoiun,e and continuous
output.
But these only come when the grower gets
good returns for his efforts and hence is stimulated TO
produce more and better stock; when the retailer is
furnished ready and profitable market; when the
consumer gets full value at lowest possible prices for
his food-expenditures.
So Armours interest is threefold in bringing
this about.
First: Armour offers the American farmer a
market altOdys ready to take what he has to sell.
New plants are built in most remote places to give
easily accessible outlets. The grower is encouraged
10 breed better strains of cattle his grows
in proportion to the increasing value of his land.
And the Armour Advisory Bureau of Agricultural
Service is at his call to aid him in greater production
and higher quality at all times.
Second: Armour helps move the nations food
pplythrough theretaers store by instructive result

continuously. And the Armour Retailers Service
instructs him in better store methods in handling
meats and meat products with less waste and hence
with less cost to the housewife.
Third For you, the consumer, Armour helps
keep prices down by scientifically manufac-
turing all inedibie parts into by-products. If it
were not for this, you would be paying for the
LOdste, which through Armours facilities and whole
sale economies, is now made into marketable COM
modities.
But Armour is interested in combating living costs
still further-n that you may Armour foods with
greatest benefit and greatest economy after you buy.
So great Domestic Science Department Is at
your service 1t is showing thousands of women now
to get the greatest nurtive value from the food they

more you consider this the greater will be your
