Cold feet may be habltual, constitu-
tional or from general i'll health, COM
monty they are so by habit. Tight
shoes, a sedentary life and overeating
are often guilty, asserts an authority.
When there is too little ventilation of
the feet or the stockings are too thick,
the relief isn't easy. The feet are
kept warm better by wearing thin hose
and low shoes cold baths and vigorous
massage, active exercise outdoors--es-
peclally walking-than by inactive in
door life. Frequent daily washing Of
the feet helps to restore their warmth.

Power of Money.

Money may be misused. The power
1t represents may be abused, says a
noted writer, just as the power of the
press or any other physical or social
force may be abused. And the desire

may be any other normal or healthy
desire, But that Is not the way to look
at money any more than It is the way
to look at any other power or quality
of human nature that may be used Ell

"Turn a Deaf Ear"

To be able to hear well is a great
blessing, but one should be able to
'turn a deaf ear" to what is unwise or
unfit to hear. If the angry words that
stir up strife, or the harsh, critical
words that hurt ones feelings or de-
fame another, never found listeners,
how much less pain and trouble the
world would know. Learn to use the

AMERICA SPELLS
GERMAN DEFEAT
Entry Into War Means Victory for
Allies, Says British
Writer.
CONTROL or FOOD WILL Win
Now a Case in Which "the Dog Has
Begun to Bite the Pig" Says
understanding Rotten
in Germany.

London. How Americas entry into
the war has hurt Germany is the SUBJ
ject of an interesting article in the
Birmingham Post by Edgar Wallace,
author and military correspondent. 1t
is now a case in which 1.-The dog has
begun TO bite the pig" he says.
ut is as we'll" Mr.. Wallace writes,
ito separate the causes of the present
German offensives from the circum'
stances which have made them pos
sible. We know that the stagnation
of the Russian front allows the Ger
mans to employ in the west troops
tive factor in the war; could not have
been employed; We know that the Itai-
ian has lost nearly 100000 men ip the
course Of the fighting of the last
month; but neither of these facts ex-
plains the German offensive plan. For
example, the push against the lsonzo
was obviously uninfiuenced by Italian
losses-because they had not occurred.
The push against Italy was and Is part
OF the great scheme which would GER
tainly have been carried out even II
Russia had remained loyal to the alli-
ance.
treason Is America >"
"The reason Is summed up In the
word America | do not particularly
refer to the forces which America Will
put into the field. The German gen
eral staff I am certain, has no par
ticular fear that sufficient American
troops will be put into the field next
year to secure a decision against Ger
many. | doubt very much whether the
German is worrying at all about what
will happen in the field in the summer
of 1918. But he is tremendously con-
cerned over what will happen In Ger
many between May and August of that
year unless he can break the fighting
spirit of the entente during the forth
coming months Of the winter.
ut is no secret that Germany had
been drawing large supplies of food
and necessary raw material from
America. via neutral countries. Amer
lea supplied these articles in the way
of business, just as she supplied Brit
ain with material in the way of bust
ness, and strictly In the way Of busi-
ness the neutral countries had been
passing on their imports to Germany.
"And so this jolly war might have
gone on whilst Germany's credit
abroad held--only America came in.
She declared war, she called millions
of men, she recognized her industries
to meet the demands of war-and then
she sat down to take good look at the
neutrals. And they seemed unneces-
sarlly bloated. They did their best to
engage her sympathy. And they had
little bread and potato riots just to
show there was no deception.
"But America understood She said
very simply, Feed yourselves, you big
stiffs ? Of the picturesque vulgarity be
allOwed).
"In the old nursery rhyme, when the
stick began to beat the dog, the dog
began to bite the pig. If the neutral
has no food to spare and cannot buy
any in America, the German cannot buy
food from the neutral In fact, the dog
has begun to bite the pig. The neu-
trails have no right TO complain.

Something Rotten in Germany.

$50 many millions Of tons Of food
stuffs which came to Germany once In
the dear dead days are not coming any
more. She is that much shorter of
food. We do not know for certain the
conditions of Germany's food reserves
That there is something rotten there
we know from the curious attitude of
Bulgaria.
"But If the German with all the sup
plies he was securing from the neutral,
was short in the spring Of 1917 what
will be his position in the spring Of
1918, when the new American embargo
becomes fully operative? We think 1t
will be fairly bad. The German crops
were poor-as were all the worlds.
"Nobody but n perfectly insane per
son or statisticlan-who will believe
anything-lmagines that the world
shortage Of food does not affect Ger
many. It does affect her very serious
~. It will affect her worse this year
than 1t did last.
"Food Is going to decide this war.
The fact that the German censor has
closed down all reference to food diff
ficulties and coal shortages Is signlf-
cant. The things that Germans do not
talk about are the things that matter.
II we are witnessing the beginning Of
n series Of offensiyes In the west and
the opening of new campaign, that
campaign. as ] have said before, is
hunger offensive, and the 2an dates
from that day when America decided
that 1t was good idea to ration the
neutrals, bat they would have to find
the ratlons themselves.

founded we should look to the collapse

 That night they trudged down to the cabin in high spirits. Bill had washed out enough during the afternoon to make respectable showing on Hazel's outspread handkerchief. And Hazel was In gleeful mood over the fact that she had unearthed a big nugget by herself. Beginners luck, Bill said teasingly, but that did not diminish her elation.
 AS the days passed there seemed no question of their complete success. Bill fabricated his rocker, primitive. boxlike device with a blanket screen and transverse slats below. It was faster than the pan, even rude as 1t was, and 1t caught all but the finer particles of gold.
 A queer twist of luck put the cap- sheaf on their undertaking. Hazel ran splinter of wood into her hand, thus putting stop to her activities with

 All through the month of January each evening, as dusk folded its son. Der mantle about the meadow. tho wolves gathered to feast on the dead horses, till Haxels nerves were strained to the snapping point. Some times, when Bill was gone, and all about the cabin was utterly still. one, bolder or hungrier than his fellows, would trot across the meadow, drawn by the scent of the meat. Two or three of these Hazel shot with her own rife.
 But when February marked another epan on the calendar the wolves came no more. The bones were clean.
 There was no impending misfortune or danger that she could point to or forecast with certitude. Nevertheless, struggle against 1t as she might, know ing 1t for pure psychological phenoE- ena arising out of her harsh environ ment, Hazel suffered continual vague forebodings. The bald, white peaks seemed to surround her like a prison from which there could be no release. From day to day she was harassed by dismal thoughts. She would wake in the night clutching at her husband. Such days as he went out alone she passed in restless anxiety. Something would happen. What 1t would be she did not know. but to her 1t seemed that the bleak stage was set for un- toward drama, and they two the pup pets that must play.
 When Bill drew her up close in his arms the intangible menace of the wilderness and all the dreary monot- ony of the days faded into the back ground. But they, no more than oth- CTS who have tried and failed for lack of understanding, could not live their lives with their heads in an emotional cloud. For every action there must be a corresponding reaction. They who have the capacity to reach the heights must likewise. upon occasion, plumb the depths. Life, she began to realize, resolved itself into an unend- ing succession of little, trivial things, With here and there some great event looming out above all the rest for its bestowal of happiness or pain.
 February and March stormed path furiously across the calendar. Higher and higher the drifts piled about the cabin, till at length 1t was banked to the caves with snow save where Bill shoveled 1t away to let light to the windows. Day after day they kept indoors, stoking up the fire, listening to the triumphant whoop of the winds.
 "Snow, snow!" Hazel burst out one day. Frost that cuts you like knife. I wish we were home again-or some place."
 "So do I, little person." Bill said gently. "But springs almost at the door. Hang on little longer. We've made a fair stake, anyway, if we don't wash an ounce of gold"
 How are we going to get it all outf She voiced troublesome thought.
 Shoulder pack to the Skeena." he answered laconically. "Build dugout there, and float downstream. Portage the rapids as they come"
 "Oh, Bill" She came and leaned her head against him contritely. "Our poor ponies! And 1t was all my care Ilessness."
 Never mind, hon." he comforted. i"They blinked out without suffering. And we'll make 1t like a charm. Be game-it'll soon be spring."
