JERUSALEM IS
 CONTENTED NOW

LONDON, Feb. 14.-"Jerusalem to. day is smiling and contented," says letter from an officer in the British forces there. Food supplies are not abundant, but they are sufficient. Affiuent people never were in want, but during the war prices went up so high and the paper money was al such a discount that the poor suffer ed greatly, and there were actually many deaths from slow starvation.
 Conditions have now undergone a remarkable change. We are giving employment to all the men in road. making at ample rates of pay. Even the young boys assist at the light work and at meal times whole fami. lies join the menfolk at their meals by the roadside.
 "Ope of the reasons for the high prices of foodstuffs was that the Turkish officers were all speculating. They bought wheat and flour from their military depots, the cost being debited against their pay. which was paid in paper. Then they sold the supplies for gold. which was worth i've times more than paper. When Turkish evacuation seemed imminent. these officers all had to unload. and prices fell considerably"

MEXICO GREEDY
 FOR U. 5. GOLD

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 16.-Roberto Peskueria, financial agent of the government at Fl Paso. Texas, and one of the wealthiest financiers and mine owners in Mexico, has been con. ferring with officials at the National Palace on means to avert what he de clares is a crisis in the mining in. dustry of the north of the republic. due to the lack of food stuffs and the embargo on gold exports by the United States government. Mexican workmen. he asserted in an interview
 will not accept American currency; the embargo prevents the importation of metal coin and Mexican money can not be obtained. Food also is exceedingly scarce. due to the Ameri. can embargo. He wants the govern ment to remedy the food situation and secure relaxation of the gold em' bargo to permit the workers to be paid in American metal currency.

BUSY NOTES OF
 THE RED CROSS

Mrs. William Hatch knitted two pairs of socks which were inadver- tently not credited on the last list of articles sent to Seattle headquar- ters. There were 122 pairs of socks knit in Fairbanks and the immedi. ate vicinity. but only 120 pairs were sent out. two especially accurate pairs being retained as samples and sent to Nenana and Olnes. where requests had been made for models by the local knitting organizations of the Red Cross.
 To knit regulation Red Cross sweater in the short time of eight hours is the record held by Mrs. Bertha Coleman. about 70 years of age, who lives at Pinogrande, Fl Dorado county, and who sends her work to the Placerville chapter of the Red Cross.
 Mrs. J. w. Winkleman, of Fruit Ridge, a member of the same chap. ter, has averaged nine hours each in making fourteen sweaters, and has begun work on six more.

ROME, Feb. 14--Eighteen daily papers are now being published here. the war being responsible for four newcomers, none of which appear to dread the scarcity and high cost of paper. The change of price from one to two cents for dailies. together with the formation of new political groups, are said to have encouraged their publication.
 The eighteen papers vary from two to four pages in size. according to their prosperity and the governments limitations on the amount of pages that may be printed in any one week.

 A friend of Mir. Freeman, an emf nent attorney in Philadelphia, thus recounts one of Mir Freeman's con versations with him regarding the matter at least ten years ago.
 Mir. Freeman said: "The govern ment ought to pay the lady who leads the social official life of this nation She ought to have at least s1,0O0 a month for her very own, as women say it. It was a crime to ask com paratively poor man like Mckinley tc meet so many obligations of his of flee out of his mean little salary and then foist upon him, in addition the necessary expense incident tC making his wife presentable at off cial functions.

 "She ought to get a direct revenue from congress, but, upon congress failing. I shall provide at least s1.o0t a month for her own use, and none may ask her what she did with IL ol what she proposes to do with it." This Mir. Freeman is said to have stated as the reason for his unique bequest.

"The Bridge Of Death"

John Gwyn, an American mining
engineer, contracts to furnish the
government with the ingredients of
high explosive used in the manu-
fcture of ammunition. In working
the mine he is fought by an agent
of The Central Powers who hires an
outlaw band to get possession of the
mine. They Kill the owner, but
Cwyr marries his daughter and they
DEFY the bandits Time and again
they are near death, trapped IN a
burning house and locked in the
mine. They finally are captured,
but escape, and the pursuit leads to
a hanging bridge which gives way.
Gwyn manages to hold to the
bridge until Nan reaches safety and
then drops the bridge into the chasm
but not until the outlaw leaders
gain a place of safety by grabbing
onto a rope. Then follows a lapse
in hostilities in which Gwyn gets the
mine in operation.
The outlaws, however, plot to at
tack the mine and begin by stealing
the first pay roll, together with the
mine deeds.
A wild race to the recorders Of
flee is made in which the Central
Powers agent wins.

WHEATLESS PIE FLOUR

Wheatless Wednesday has brought
a pie problem to hotels and restau-
rants, for, while substitute cereals
can be used for bread and rolls, many
cooks have found it difficult to make
pie crust without wheat flour. John
Will, pastry chef of the Hotel Sher-
man, Chicago, after many expert
ments, says the Hotel Monthly, has
evolved the following formula for a
wheatless pie flour: Eight pounds
cornstarch, pounds butter, 4 pounds
lard, 3 quarts water. Butter and lard
may be replaced with vegetable
shortening. Some chefs have cut
down the daily consumption of wheat
for pastry by serving deep-dish and
open-face pies. The deep-dish pie is
made without a bottom crust, and, the
open-face pie without top crust. -
