Pledges American Help to
Any Government That Will
Resist Teuton Invasion.

Moscow, Tuesday, March 19.-Rus-
sia will eventually become a Ger

their liberty if they submit to the
peace forced by the central powers,
David r. Francis, the American am
bassador, declared in a statement to
the Russian people, issued from the
American embassy at Vologda.
The ambassador pledged American
help to any government in Russia
that would resist the German pene-
tration. He urged them to forget
their political differences and said he
would not leave Russia until COM
PEELED by force. The ambassadors
statement said:
"The friendship between Russia and
the United States, which has existed
for a century or more, should be aug

sia becoming republic, and Ameri-
cans are sincerely desirous that Rus
slams be permitted to continue free

NO TROUBLE TO
COOK UNDER WATER

Cooking under water has it's disad-
vantages but when you have a nice
waterproof kitchen on one of Uncle
Sans safe submarines it isn't so bad,
according to Mrs. NJ. A. Wilson of
Philadelphia, who trains cooks for
the United States navy.
Enlisted men are Mrs. Wilson'S stu
dents and pupils and she conducts
some Of her cooking classes on board
battleships and submarines. She
tells of being SO IL hours under
water on a submarine.
Housewives who are interested in
submarine cooking will learn from
Mrs. Wilson that the intense cold
from the bottom of the ocean must
be considered by the submarine cook
Electric stoves are used" she
says, "but food which requires a high
temperature must be cooked before
the submarine is submerged"
She tells of her work in this way:
ST began with class of SO men
Today I have 1000 men under train
ing. The cooking courses lasts five
weeks. every day from $50 a. m. tc
n p. m. Every man must know how
to make bread and under very differ
ent conditions from those on land
The variation in temperature is great
and the water used must come from
the ocean.

err"
The thought of the people being
without a leader struck Christina to
the heart. Forgetting her own sor-
rows, she called the patriots togeth-
err and pleaded with her husbands
associates to continue the work inter
rupted by his death. But her plead
ings fell upon deaf ears. The fate
of Stern Sture had apparently quench-
ed the fires of patriotism which his
living presence had kindled-
At last realizing that her efforts
were in vain, Christina rose and faced
the assemblage her eyes brilliant
with the light of determination, and
astonished both the sage old states
men and the young soldiers by say
ing:
IF none of you will command the
army in the name of freedom, then
must I don armor and take the place
of Stern Sture. If the soldiers will
answer my call to arms will lead
them to battle against the invading
hosts of Christians. Those who re-
fuse to fight are traitors to their
mother land
The entire body of councillors and
soldiers rose and wildly cheered Chris
tina Gyllenstierna, their new leader.
pledging their lives and fortunes to
further the cause Of liberty. The
heroic wife of Stern Sture led her
army of patriots against Christians
forces, and met with defeat. But the
courage of the dauntless woman new
er wavered.
She marched the remnants Of her
shattered regiments into Stockholm
and closed the gates of the city. Safe
within the stout walls Christina re-
fused to consider any negotiations for
peace presented by Christian or the
Archbishop og Upsala. She stubbornly
refused to yield while the citizens
of Stockholm vowed to defend their
walls to the last man. All summer
they resisted the bombardment of the
Danish ships and land forces, and
Christian was about to leave Chris
tina and her obstinate followers to
themselves.
But disloyalty and treachery began
to work among the Swedes. Christian
learning of this prolonged the attack,
Several months of siege followed, and
the brave wife of Stern Sure was
compelled to accept terms of peace.

CLUB NOTES.

Case of Goitre and Enlarged Tonsils.
Dear Doctor. We Joined the Home
Health Club about IL years ago and
we know that the benefits are far be-
yond our expectations; aside from
the liberal education we have receiv-
ed through the weekly articles in the
paper. we have had especially good
results from every method of home
treatment that you have so kindly
recommended in personal letters.
We are especially thankful for the
suggestion made in club notes a few
months ago for the home treatment
of goitre. We had our daughter try it
because we know that if you recon-
mended a treatment it was saft. Well
the result is a perfect cure, for which
we are so thankful We have sent
the treatment to a cousin back in
New York State.
MRS. S. M.
(Answer) I am glad to get this
report about the goitre because the
case was quite a severe one and had
resisted all forms of treatment before
used. The simple and safe means of
using the herb ointment. as directed in
Vol. of the Club Books, Medicinal
Plants of America" combined with the
two iodides, ando applied locally each
night has worked wonders in every
case so far reported. 1t seems to
have the same good effect upon other
swollen and enlarged glands, especial
ly enlarged tonsils.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-03-23

The problem of housing then is,
first of all, one for the employer. He
cannot trust it to a real estate spec
ulator, whose chief aim is too likely
to be the exacting of the largest,
quickest return which the necessity
of the employe can be made to yield.
The real estate Spectator is the
commercial antagonist of both en-
ploye and employer. He usually sue
ceeds in driving the employe away in
numbers large enough to cost the
employer much in energy, worry and
profits.
The problem is also one for the
community and particularly for those
members of the community who prof
it most by its healthy, sound and con-
sistent growth. Chief among these
members is the banker. But mer-
chants should also be interested, as
well as the owners of traction compa-
MES. and all those who are possessed
of a disinterested civic pride.
So in the cities where the individual
employer cannot meet the problem, it
is properly one for a stock company
composed of employers bankers,
merchants, and those advocates of
civic betterments who prefer a gar
den suburb to long rows of poorly
planned, ilI-built, altogether. mental
ly and financially depressing flats
and shacks-miscal1ed cottages.
There is, however, a larger and
more important phase of the problem
than any thus far considered here.
The new world contact which has
been thrust upon within the last few
years brings an obligation to create
new, more beautiful, more efficient,
more glorious America. The founda-
ton of that America must be labor,
well paid, contented labor, and only
such labor can be depended upon in
the period of al1-inclusive readjust-
ments and reconstruction which may
be thrust upon us at any time by the
end of the World war. Proper hous-
ing housing that, no matter who
the laborer or what his habits, Gre
ates the permanent home sense, will
be an important determining factor in
the situation.
AS the future of America depends
upon such labor, it is naturally a
proper object of government encour-
agement.
We have built our nation by aid to
homesteading farmers, one of our
chief privileges and obligations today
is to apply ourselves to the problem
of adequately homing, not housing,
labor, to the future greatness ana
glory of America.

Diary Of a Fashion Model
Youthful Hats of Silk and Straw
Young Girls

responded perfectly with the hat. 1t
was carried by means of oddly shaped
handles wound with antique gold gal
loon.
There's nothing wrong with that
set, Marcelle made an exact. duplicate
of the drawing" was Madame's only
comment as Julie exchanged the taft
feta hat for sailor with straw
brim and satin crown.
The broad brim was a basket weave
in dark blue and white straw The
soft crown was of heavy white satin
with a corded piping of the satin out
lining the top. It was simply trim
med with a single flower with petals
of white satin and foliage of dark blue
poised on one side of the brim. close
to the base of the crown.
This hat is for Miss Wellesley, who
is rather tall and dark. 1t ought to
be very becoming. I like the way
the brim rolls downward at the right
side. Now, Julie, please put on the
little hat of beige, Milan"
1 knew without being told that this
model was for Miss Payton. 1t had
g. rather high crown with a narrow,
mushroom brim, faced with dark
blue taffeta. The under brim at the
side and back was banked with null
ti-colored French flowers arranged
very closely together. A band of
narrow blue velvet ribbon to match
the facing was drawn about the base
of the crown and tied at the back in
a tiny bow with long streamers.
Madame was thoroughly satisfied
with the smartness of this model, re-
marking that the coloring was just
right for Miss Paytons copper-red
hair.
Next, Julie tried on a bonnet of
hemp in the natural color. The turn
ed-down brim was faced with China
blue taffeta. A double ruching of the
same silk with picot edges was ar
ranged about the base of the high
crown. The centre of the ruching
was trimmed with a band of narrow
ribbon velvet in a darker tone of
China blue. The ends were tied in
a small bow with streamers which
hung far down the back.
I had to leave before Julie had fin
ished trying on the hats, as I had an
appointment with Mrs. Spaulding to
show her some frocks made of foul
ard and printed silks.
"I'll be with you as soon as I can,
Claire. Be sure to choose the pretti-
est models and select hats for those
designed for street wear" were Ma
DANES instruction as 1 left the gray
salon.
