MANY USES FuR uLu pArtK
~ IS OF Special Value in Kitchen
Where It May Be Made a Partial
Substitute for Ice.

Most housekesDers know how inval-
liable newspapers are for packing
away the winter clothing, the printing
ink seeming to act as a defiance to the
stoutest moth as successfully as
camphor Or tarpaper
The most valuable quality Of news
papers in the kitchen, however. is
their ability to keep out the air. 1t is
wen known that ice completely
wrapped in newspapers so that all air
is Shut out will keep a longer time
than under other conditions; and that
pitcher Of icewater laid in news
paper, with the ends Of the paper
twisted together to exclude the air,
viii remain all night in any summer
room with scarcely any perceptibe
melting Of the Ice. These facts should
be utilized oftener than they are in the
care Of the sick at night.
In freezing Ice cream, when ice is
scarce, pack the freezer only three
quarters fun Of ice and salt and finish
with newspapers; the difference in
the time Of freezing and quality Of the
cream is not perceptble from the re-
suits where the freezer is packed full
Of ice. After removing the dasher it
is better to cork up the cream and
cover it tightly with packing Of
newspaper than to use more ice. The
newspapers retain the cold already in
the ice better than a packing Of
cracked ice and salt. which must have
crevices to admit the air.

Sea Moss Industry Booms.

Along the scituate shore great beds
of sea moss may be seen on any fair
day drying in the sun, while tons Of
the dried product are being packed
away in the storehouses. The local
industry is booming owing to the fact
that sea moss can no longer be OBJ
tanned from France, which formerly
was the chief source of supply.
In the absence Of the foreign ar
ticIe, however American moss is
greatly in demand, and the price has
steadily increased since the war broke
out. Three years ago the Scituate
moss gatherers received 3 cents a
pound; this spring 6% cents is the
prevailing price, and tHe Scituate FISH
ermen expect to receive 10 cents a
pound before the season is over.-Bos-
ton Herald.

The FutlIity Of Maxims.

All people Of broad strong sense
have an instructive repugnance to the
men of maxims because such people
early discern mat the mysterious COM
plexlty Of our life is not to be emf
braced by maxims, and that to lace
ourselves up in formulas of that sort
is TO repress all the divine promptings
and inspirations that spring from
growing insight and sympathy. And
the man of maxims is the popular rep
'resentative of the minds that are guild
ed in their moral judgment solely by
general rules. thinking that these win
lead them to justice by a ready-made
patent method, without the trouble Of
exerting patience. discrimination, inn
iality-without any care to assure
themselves whether they have the IL
sight that comes from a hardly earned
estimate of temptation, or from life
vivid and intense enough to have Gre
ated Il wide fellow feeling with all
that is human. George Eliot.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-12-29

British prOletariat represented by a
national labor conference, has reaf-
firmed, with out equivocation, that it
is the determination of labor to con-
tinue the war in order hereafter to
make the world safe for democracy.
Fortified by the known attitude of
President Wilson as. to the require
ments of the United States if the war
is to end and peace concluded, the
utterances of Premier Lloyd George
and Foreign Minister Pichon and the
almost unanimous sentiment of the
British workers, seemingly make GER
tain that the Teutonic allied proffer,
given in reply to the Russian Bolshe-
Wiki proposals, will 60 for naught un-
less it is materially added to and
brought into line with the demands
that the United States and the en-
tente allies have laid down as the con-
crete basis for the discussion of peace.
iBolsheviki Still Confident.
Nevertheless, the BolsheViki ele,
ment in Russia APPARENTLY has not lost
