covets so that Germans may replace
those that have been exterminated.
The systematic destruction of civil
ians In Belgium, northern France, Po-
land, Serbia, and the actual enslave-

frequently boosted German "policy Of
blood and iron" and the flynn Of
Hate" which has become q national
hymn, proclaims 1t.
From. the rudimental condition of
ancient barbarism, a spiritual develop
ment was possible; from the accom-
plished inhumanity Of Prussianism, q
more rigid inhumanity only is possible.
A German victory would mean the
blight Of what we call civilization and
the elimination Of what we believe d.
vine In man. What We believe in,
what we cherish, what we are, would
be annihilated by the essence Of Prus-
sianism; our world would be destroyed
by Prussic acid.

tutes for wheat flour. Have buck
wheat or corn meal griddle cakes or
mush for breakfast, accompanied by
figs, dates or other fruits for variety;
serve fried mush; use corn meal in

Do not use toast as a garnish or

Change your recipes. If you have
good recipes for bread of any kind,
make them conform to food conserva-

by using at least one-fourth wheat

Are the saloonkeepers to examine the
