 CURE IN 3 WEEKS

Sauerkraut will cure in three weeks in warm weather. says today's bulle- tin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission. Conserve the food products of the country. Kraut is generally made in the fall for winter use but some of our sur- plus summer cabbage may Hbe used to advantage in making a very whole some and nutritious dish at a time when the raw material is very low in price. A Ha
 The outside leaves and hard core of the cabbage should be removed and the rest shredded very finely Salt should be at the rate of 1 pound to { gallons of slaw. Line the keg on the bottom and sides with the large leaves of the cabbage, put in a layer of shredded sIaw three inches deep and sprinkle about two ounces of sault over it. Fill up the keg in this way. keeping a lining of the large leaves at the sides. Pound mass down until very compact, cover with leaves and a wooden cover made to fiji inside keg and then put heavy weight, on the cover so that all the cabbage will be under the brine all the time. Skim occasionally and see that there Is plenty Of brine. During the warm weather, the time Of curing vii be about three weeks when the krau will be ready for use or for canning.
 To can kraut, fill jars tightly, par tially tighten tops and sterilize for ar hour and a half in boiling water After sterilization, remove jars ant tighten tops and invert to cool il place free from draught.
 Sauerkraut may be served at thu table in several apetizing ways. may be served raw; fried, boiled witl various meats and combinations o vegetables. and baked with certain meats. It makes excellent salad.
 The National Emergency Foot Garden Commission will send man uals on Canning and Drying for a two cent stamp sent to 210 Maryland Building, Washington, D. C., to pa, for postage.

The advertising of metropolitan stores contains clever work which smaller stores might well study and copy The good ad writer has his eyes open, and if he sees a we'll writ ten ad in a newspaper from some other town, he tears it out and uses ths same idea himself
 Formerly department stor adver- Itising was mostly a long array of fi- lgures about like this:
 Ladies Suits, were $30.o0, now $23.87 Ladies Suits. were $20.0o, now $14.sS
 This is effective in its way, as price Is the biggest item nowadays: But there needs to be some description or details tending to interest the reader and give convincing evidence that genuine values are offered. The IfoIlowing. while not giving as much detail as 1t might. has an air of sin Icerfty that would tend to sell goods: BOYS SCHOOL SUITS These suits are heavy and substan- kfial enough to last until mid-winter.

U. $, To Ask Mexico
 About German Spies

Washington, Aug. 3.-So numerous
 have become the reports of German spy activities and propaganda in Mex ico that Ambassador Fletcher Is pre- pared upon his arrival at Mexico City to call the attention of the Mexican government to the links in that coun- try beween Berlin and German agents in the United States i. Officials of the State Department do not call into question the integrity of the Mexican government, but the reports have left no room to doubt the existence of a German organiza- ton in Mexico whose machinations may be defined as a violation of Mex | ico's neutrality. The CarranZa gov ernment is believed in fact to be dis 1 turbed by the abuse of its hospitality.
 and there is a feeling here that the
 time is not far distant when certain representatives in Mexico of the Ger
 man Foreign Office may be officially questioned as to their activities. How extensive the work of the German agents has been in forward l ing information to Germany by mail
 or other means has not been ascer- tained by American agents, but evt-
 dence of their tireless activity in pro- EPdSdHOd AdS OOOIl pA pAO0oSO0s W hSAA ECarl Heynen was arrested a few
 weks ago on the charge of spy activ- ] ities in the United States it was not
 known that his work extended o Mex ico, but since then evidence has been l produced to indicate that he was very intimately connected with the German
 spy system there, and that the men who formerly reported to him are
 continuing their efforts.
 One man whom agents of the Uni ted States are watching is Richard l.Everabusch, the German Connsul at
 Tampico. Eversbusch was. the part
 ner in business of Heynen, the firm
 name for many years being Heynen & Eversbusch.
 l While almost every other govern J consular representatives in Mexico i Germany has kept there a full list 'i and Minister von Eckhardt has been at the capital since the overthrow o1 IHuerta.
 It will be pointed cut to the Mex iican government that in the event o1
 reasonable proof~of undue activities
 by any German Consul or diplomat precedent for expulsion from the Icountry can be found in the cases o1 Dumba, von Papen and Boy-Ed.
 The American government is no1 concerned so greatly at the sugges
 tions that Mexico is used as a relay
 point for military information as i
 lis over the constant and apparenly
 uninterrupted German jpropagands ) emanating from Mexico and over the possibility of curtailment of the MeM Fl can oil supply. The recent strike. E in the Tampico oil region have caused
 some anxiety. and it has been freel. ) charged that they were caused b. German agents working in som, cases through the I. W. W.
 Recently increased taxes on crud, petroleum and its derivatives alread. } have resulted in a voluminous core spondence between the State Depart , ments of the two governments, bu danger of any curtailment of the SUD-

j. s. COMMISSION
To RUSSIA MAKES
RACE WITH TIME
ENJOYS to Russia Seek Only to
Aid People in Establishing
Government.

Washington. May 1.-THE Ameri-
can commission Is going TO Russia in
what amounts to a race against time
with only two objects in view. II was
stated on the highest authority today.
These objects are:
To convey to the Russian people the
qualification OF the United States at
the Transformation Of the ancient
despotism in*o a republican form of
government and to render any helpful
service II can to aid the new govern
nent rising from the ruins OF the en-
pire.
The commission has no purpose to
sway the JUDGMENT of the Russian peo-
pie as to which faction shall control
in the organization Of a permanent
government.
This statement was made to meet
sinister misrepresentation by Ger
many in Russia which are calculated
to provoke some Of the Russian fac
tions into making a separate peace be-
fore tho American commissioners can
arrive in Petrograd.

Six men were killed and several others
