Where We Are Showing Efficiency.

! While most OF us for months past
! have been talking preparedness there has
been one body of Americans working at
it, working whole heartedly and all the
time. These men are the officials and
agents of the United States secret sery-
| ice.
The secret service man shares with
the police officer the hard fate that il
is what he does not prevent that gets
into the news columns. 1t IS the house
that is robbed which gets the publicity.
not the hundred houses that are not
robbed; it is the plot that succeeds. the
exploded bomb, the wrecked munitions
plants, to which the big headlines are
perforce given.
But as not infrequently the patrol.
man catches the burglar just as he is
forcing the window or working at the
safe, so of late evidence has not been
wanting of the capture OF those more
dangerous international burglars and
yeggmen called spies in the midst of
their plotting.
The arrest in and about New York
of German bombmakers and dabblers in
international conspiracy; the coup by
which the contemplated reign of terror"
by an alien army OF violence" in Man
haitian and Brooklyn was prevented
these are but few of many recent ex.
ploits, not to mention the coup of the
documents regarding the Mexico and Jap
an proposal.
1t has been intimated, too, that
Washington has wealth of informa.
ton about German Vaccinations in this
country of which no word has reached
the public. Such information has been
secured by these same secret service
men, unobtrusive agents of our federal
government.
"The army OF violence" story alone
is comparable to any fiction thriller, and
the names of the two men who gained
employ of the German government as
a means to thwart its plans deserve the
fame given to the exposer of the Molly
Maguires or the most notable European
"provocation agent"
But it may be years before the full
tale of the accomplishments of our Sc
cret service in this crisis may be told.
Meanwhile for the success of their en-
deavors the men of that service must re-
main obscure, unknown, working ever
in the dark TO sap the hostile mines of
plot and treason.
The hint of their deeds vouchsafed us
should be enough. We have not the
headed spy system of empires
we all are free to go our work a day
ways without official interference or es-
pionage, But we know that our secret
service is there and that, small in size.

Short Cuts for Housekeepers.

Do not purchase hamburg steak ready
chopped. If you do not chop it yourself
have the butcher chop it while you wait,
then season with pepper, salt and lit
tie minced onion. After shaping into
small fiat cakes broil over hot fire, but
be sure to grease the broiler before lay
ing them on it, and have it hot; or they
may be cooked in hot frying pan and a
bit of gravy made to soften them by add
ing little water and butter to the juice
they have left in the pan; or they are
good with a sauce made by adding some
strained tomato juice to the gravy and
thickening it slightly with butter and
-four.
Chop left over bits of cold bacon, pork
or other meat--several kinds may be
mixed-and stir them into eggs when
scrambling them, or the scraps of meat
may be rolled into an omelette. Make
an omelette in the usual 1ianner and
when done spread the chopped meat over
it. roll the omelette and turn on plat
ter to serve.
When frying veal, either steaks or
chops, first dip the meat in little
sweet milk, then place it in a frying pan
containing hot butter or a mixture OF
hot butter and lard. Fry over a good
fire. The milk causes the meat to brown
beautifully and also impsrts to it de-
licious flavor and unusual tenderness,
Veal fried in this way browns quickly
and the juice of the meat is retained.
Take one pound of sausage, two table
spoons OF fat and three eggs. Skim cold
boiled sausage and slice it in half
pieces. Place in frying pan with hot
fat. brown on both sides few minutes
and just before serving add the eggs,
beating slightly. Mix and cook until the
eggs are set. Serve Immediately. Baked
sausages are good and they do not spat-
ter the stove in cooking. If placed in a
sheet iron pan they may be.kept COW
cred until entirely cooked, browning suf
ficiently. Dorothy Dexter.

MILK SCHEDULE REJECTED.
Boston Distributors Refuse to Meet the
Farmers Demands.

Boston March - Refusal OF Fl. r
Hood & Sons, one of the largest milk
distributing firms in this city, to pay in
the summer months the wholesale milk
prices in effect this winter, has been an
nounced by DR.. Nelson c.. Davis, mem
Der OF the firm.
IF we pay these prices" DR.. Davis
said, "it means an advance to the farmer
Of one and one half cents a quart over
last summers price and an advance to
the consumer of at least one cent quart.
We agree that conditions are such that
milk producers should have a reasonable
advance over last summers price, but We
believe that one and onehalf cents a
quart additional is unreasonable and I'M
necessary"

TO PUSH BILL
TO TRAIN ALL
Chamberlain to Demand Ac-
ton on His Meas
WILSON MAY
NOW URGE 1T
Senator is Sure that War
Declaration is
Near

Washington, d. c., March Ex-senator
Chamberlain of Oregon announced yester
day his intention of demanding immedi'
ate action on the universal military
training legislation at the coming extra
session of Congress.
Senator Chamberlain, a Democrat
made his announcement in the midst of
persistent, though unconfrmed, reports
that the president himself will ask Con-
gress to act on this matter as a measure
of defense made imperative by the Ger
man crisis.
"When Congress convenes," said SEN
ator Chamberlain, 81 look for a declara
ton of war. As matter of fact, state
of war already exists, and Congress,
think, might just as well take us out of
the neutral class and make us a bellig-
erent. That being the situation, | shall
insist that universal training bill be
passed in order that we may train an
army and prepare for whatever may
come,
"The demand for universal training
has been sweeping throughout the coun.
try and has now reached point where it
will not be denied"
The impression is that if the president
asks for legislation of this kind he will
support, to a modified extent at least, the
bin proposed by the general staff and
war college of the army. This bill, with
out Endorsement by the administration
but backed by strong report Of the war
college, was submitted to Congress at
the last session as representing the ex-
pert view of what is needed Under this
plan an ultimate reserve of 3.500,000
troops would be obtained.

FILTHY TYPHOID.
Is Found Only in Man and Essentially
in Young Adults.

in Young Adults.
"Ho died of typhoid fever on the 18th
of December, 1861"
To be the consort of queen, TO be
beloved by her people both high and
law, to be the real but unobserved adj
wiser of the affairs of an empire, these
are achievements worth while. To be
cut off from all of them at the prime
age of AZ by wholly preventable dis
ease seems wanton. THE good Prince
Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, pat
ron of the arts and sciences, a sklllful
administrator and an upright man was
sacrificed to filth disease.
Typhoid fever is found only in man.
1t is caused by a short rod shaped mi
croscopic vegetable, which enters the
body through the mouth and leaves it
i'll human discharges to enter another
human mouth TO which it is carried by
fingers, flies, fluids and food. 1T is es-
sentially disease of young adult life.
Older people are less apt to have 1t
probably because they have suffered
from an attack of the disease in their
youth
Typhoid fever is known by various
names, "slow fever" "low fever" but
whatever name it is called by it kills
about eight per cent OF those whom it
attacks. A certain percentage of those
who recover become carriers, that is,
persons who though well excrete the
organisms of the disease in their dis
charge. Carriers are largely responsible
for the perpetuation of typhoid fever,
but the installation of proper sewer sys
tens which not only take away noxious
wastes but also do not deposit them in
some one else's water supply, the aboli
tion of flies, cockroaches, and other filth
insects, the maintenance of a pure food
supply, and the intelligent care Of the
typhoid patient, these are the measures
which will rid us from this disease. I'm
til very recently typhoid has been the
scourge of armies but now the anti
typhoid incubation has reduced this dan
ger to a minimum.

Washington, March 22-Secretary Red
field wired the Emergency Peace fedora

a tax on American citizens and proper

"To accept your policy" he said,

NAVAL MILITIA COMPANY

Thirty.Five Young Men Have Al
ready Signed Membership
Applications.
NAVY GIVES IT'S APPROVAL
Consent TO Organize Has Been Grant
ed by Adjutant.Gcneral w. w.

Companies Authorized by Law.

With thirty-nve young men already

seems destined TO bc the home OF the
first company Of that kind organized
in the State Of Virginia Consent to
organize the company has been granted
10y the Navy Department. and Adju.
tant General w. w. Sale, under whose
jurisdiction it would come. has also
sanctioned the plan.
On Friday night a meeting was held
in West Point for the purpose of dis
GUESSING the proposed organization of
naval militia company. j. {. Court
ney. Mayor of West Point and & L..
Cole are behind the movement, and
thirty-five of the young men Of the
town have agreed to join the company
if it can be recognized by tho govern
ment.
Plans are only tentative, but a build
ing suitable for temporary armory
can be rented at reasonable cost.
Should the government accept the COM
pany, II would receive it's uniforms
and equipment from that source, and II
is probable that some obsolete naval
craft would be turned over to the or
gapization for practice cruises. Many
companies OF the naval militia in other
States have boats permanently as
signed to them.
YORK RIVER LARGE
ENOUGH FOR BIG VESSELS
West Point. being located on Tide
water. is one Of the best places in the
State for naval militia. The York
River is sufficiently large for big
steamers, and consequently the COM
pany could maneuver any beat the
Navy Department could give 1t. In
comparatively smooth water and at no
great distance from its base.
-Four companies OF naval militia are
authorized under the State law. These
companies will receive the same sup
port as land troops from the State and
from the government, although the pay
feature of the National Guard Is not
carried to the navy branch. Instead Of
summer encumpmcnts, ten 20 Nfteen-
day cruises are provided for the young
seamen.
In event the West Point company is
successfully organized. il is more than
probable that other Virginia coast
cities will take up the idea. North
Carolina has naval militia, us have
other States on the Seaboard, while
practically all OF the states on the
Great axes also so in for this sort of
work.
Plans for naval militia in Richmond
have been discussed frequently, but
have seldom gone beyond tlic talk
