HOW SCIENCE IS SOLVING VI
AMERICAS BUTTER PROBLEM

Newspaper readers have doubtless
noticed the various advertisements Of
nut butter which are appearing al
most daily. To many they offer g: q
product new to most ultimate con-
sumers.'' We are accustomed to old
fashioned cows butter, or may at
times have used oleomargarine. But
nut butter-or rather nut-fat butter,
which is to all intent and purposes
real old-fashioned butter, is an en-
tirely new propos' ton.
But after all, there is nothing
strange about this new product ex-
cept its originality. Nuts are al
most pure fat, which can be churned
Just as successfully into crisp appe-
thing butter as scarce high priced
cream. Certainly, the idea is appe-
tizing-the white meat of cocoanuts
churned with fresh milk seems more
like delicacy than its predecessors.
:. So when food specialists tell us
that this cocoanut fat is as digestible
as butter fat, equally nutritious and
as valuable as a fuel food, It's hur-
rah for nut made butter! Especially
when the price is as attractive as the
product, helping out the hard work.

have come to the rescue in provid-

methods to the perfection of pro-
cess. which offers us this wholesome,
hygienic, digestible, sweet favored

HE'S JELLIC0E OF sCAPA NOW
former Admiral Of British Grand
e.. Fleet Has. Piekedg HE Title ri
..tf.v was rViscount. - 'e' -.

Admiral Sir John Jellicoe has
taken the title Of Viscount Jellicoe
Of Scapa.
The name Scapa is derived from
Scapa Flow, which has been the prin.
cipal home base Of the British grand
fleet since the beginning of the war.
Scapa Flow is a great land-locked
harbor in the midst of the Orkney
islands, north of Scotland, and "a
hours train journey from London.
The surrounding land is brown,
bare, desolate and treeless. There
are 80 islands n the Orkney group,
of which 60 are uninhabited.
Such was the place to which Jel-
licoe brought his squadrons at the
end of July, 1914, and the place to
which he returned with them time
and again to rest after fruitless
chases in the North sea. Scapa was
the kingpin in the strategical dispo-
sition of the allied naval forces dur
ing the entire time that Jellicoe com,
manded them.

that the overwhelming majority Of
physicians who think are of the con-

the misuse of this drug has caused
the death of thousands, and now
many die by. reason Of the want Of
this remedy.

resulted and people are suffering and

Nothing IN Motion Pictures Nor In Fiction
More Surprising, More Dramatic Than the
Real Life Career of This Y Dung Adventures

In Nezie's travelling trunks, when they were
opened by the Federal agents, there was revealed
such a wardrobe as seldom gladdens the heart
of royal princess. The List Of her effects IN
eluded 12s gowns, many Of them of fabulous
cost, some of them bearing the labels Of famous
modistes of Paris, London and Petrograd; 80

81 pairs Of boots and slippers; 1s2 pairs of silk

clOaks and countless pieces of dainty underwear
of rarest silk textures. In every garments there
was the touch of delicate gray which Nezie liked
so well.

the harem of Hejad Paeha at Scutari was also
found in her trunks photograph Of the IA

For time Nine. Nezie was naughty and

every accusation heaped upon her by the officials
who questioned her. But when she was con-
fronted with proofs from Scotland Yard and the
Intelligence Department Of France that her
operations abroad had been made known to this
country she broke down. At first she denied
with an insistenee that could not hide the sudden
light of terror in her eyes, that she was the Mime.

brought to New York, where, for reasons Of
their own, the officials placed them in separate
hotels, under the watchful eyes of departmental
agents. Awoman operative was placed on guard
over Nine Storch at one hotel, with other agents
constantly at the outer door of the apartment
while the Count de Beville was kept under sur

A Lonely Craze at the
End of an EUentfM Life

"TO Franeer" she said, half to herself "That
Will be the end of everything. The sun viii
never shine for me again. "
This was the only comment Nine Nezie made
upon the announcement that she was to be taken
to France for trial Her fear that the sun would
soon cease shining for her was more prophetic,
however, than she could have expected.
Her frail body, accustomed since her youth
in the harem to gentle ministrations. to the care
of constant attendant and to every protection
luxury could surround it with, could not with
stand the rigors of Imprisonment suddenly
thrust upon it. Exposure to the draughts that
reehed her prison quarters and the shock of the
lack Of rich comforts she had been used to,
quickly undermined her health. Almost over
night she was attacked by pneumonia She
fought bravely for life, but after three days she
died in the prison hospital
Greater even than their own Imprisonment
was the shock of her death to the two counts, de
Cleremont and de Beville, both of whom had
loved her devotedly-both of whom had been
her victims, more kindly treated by her, per-
haps, than the others of her dupes, but still mere
tools of the spy's trade.

The KagraRt FIOsCer
PeddIer MysteriOnsEB Disappears

Mr.. vanderpoel had learned, in the conf
denees Nezie imposed in him, that she had leased
a safety deposit box. This was broken into, and
much of the information the department had
sought so long was here disclosed. Nezie's secret
code was found there as well as scores of letters,
eablegrams and other documents which revealed
her methods Of communication with Germany.
Her relations with Nine. Nix and the Count de
Cleremont also were disclosed, and this second
pair soon was under arrest. Nine Nix, when
confronted with the documents found in Nezie's
safety deposit box, broke down and confessed
her true identity and her associations with Count
Won BernstOrf
Other arrests Of persons implicated by Nezie's
secret documents have since been made. Still
other persons are yet under surveillance. One,
however, who IS thought to have been an impor-
tant member Of Nine Nezie's eoterie Of eonfed-
crates made good his escape.
During the early morning drives Nine. Nezie
eustomarilv took in her limousine she never
failed, when her course took her into the neigh
borhood Of Fifty-eighth street, In the vicinity
Of Count de Cleremont's apartments, to drive
around the neighborhood until she came upon a
flower peddler who frequented the nearby
streets. It was her within, she explained, to buy
bouquets from this peddler, who, she said, seemed
so worthy of kindness.
She would call the man to the door OF her car,
pass coin or a bill into his hand, choose the
flowers that appealed to her and order her
chauffeur to drive on. The peddler would bow
humbly and turn his attention to other passers-
by Immediately after Nezies departure for
Key West this flower peddler disappeared. 1t
is now believed he was an important link in the
structure Of espionage Nezie had built up. He,
it is thought, was the gobetween through which
Nezie made reports to the elderly military look
ing man who, when it was safe for him to do so,
met her himself in Central Park.

and made the arrangements for the trip to be

1t was merry supper. Nine. Nezie had
donned her most fetching gown to please Mr..
Yanderpoels fastidious tastes. She was un-
usually vivacious. She was sorry-so sorry
indeed, that their friendship was to be inter-
rupted by this horrid trip to Havana-but she
wished to assure Mr.. Vanderpoel that she would
soon be returning.
No-she would never return, Mr.. Vanderpoel
was sure-and he was quite sentimentally sad
about it. When Nezie laughed at his misgivings
