An official Of railway which passes
through Philadelphia, I am told, was in
the habit Of expressing his war senti-
ments without restraint to his private
secretary, Girard writes In the Phila-
delphia Ledger. These sentiments were
derogatory to the allies and favorable
to Germany. One day at the end of a
particularly vehement TRADE the Sec
rotary said: 81 trust, sir, that what
you have said does not represent your
real feelings on the subject" II mean
every word Of It," said his employer. It
was just after a fire had taken place
In nearby city and the responsibility
had been laid at the doors Of German
hirellngs whose enterprise the railway
man extolled. "Then shall be obliged
to arrest you," said the secretary,
throwing open his coat and showing
the badge Of secret service agent.
The indiscreet official Is now supposed
to be In a place where what he may
have to say In praise of kultur will
reach severely limited audience.

I'VE WON'T WIN If We WASTE"
Tested Wartime Recipes
FOR USE IN MICHIGAN
(Clip and save these recipes for
future reference.)


Remember, that the recipes which
are being given here, and those which
you will find In other places. are
merely suggestive. They show what
can be done. But recipes alone will
not solve the problem. Winning this
war by food will not be possible unless
you give to the matter your earnest
and sincere thought and cooperation.
The problem is for you to reduce by
one-third the amount of wheat you
have been using. How 1t can best be
done in your household is for you to
decide. But see that Il Is done.
Below are some tried recipes for war
bread which may be found interesting
and useful. When liquid yeast is used,
a cupful may be counted as equal to
one cake of dry or compressed yeast.
and slight reduction must be made In
the total amount of liquid used.

BY Twists Teachers Words.

A Greencastle young woman teacher
In the Peru (Ind.) high school a few
days ago had vision of her job leav-
ing because Of violent protest lodged
against her by patron. The teachers
were at a meeting when the protest
came up. The patron accused the teach
err of calling her boy "a scurvy ele-
plant" The teacher was dumfounded
when she heard the charge, and could
not recall making any such remark.
The corps of teachers went to work to
attempt to unravel the mystery. Final
ly 1t was solved. The teacher had told
the boy "He was disturbing element"
and the boy mistook what she said for
"a scurvy elephant"-Indianapolis

A Cry From the Wilderness.


New York seemed almost like a for
eign city to Johnnie O'Reilly when he
stepped out into 1t on the morning
after his arrival. For one thing 1t was
bleak and cold: the north wind, hail
ing direct from Baffin's bay, had teeth,
and It bit so cruelty that he was glad
when he found shelter in the building
which housed the Offices of the Carter
Importing company. The truth is
O'Reilly was not only cold but fright
ened.
1t was not the effect Of HIS report
concerning the firms improbable Gu
ban connections which he feared
Samuel Carter could take calmly the
most disturbing financial reyerse--it
was the blow to his pride at learning
that anybody could prefer another girl
to his daughter. Johnnie shook his
shoulders and stamped his feet, but
the chill In his bones refused to go.
Ee went to meet his employer as a
man marches TO execution.
His heart sank further at the wei
come he received, for the importer
gave him a veritable embrace; he pat
ted him on the back and inquired three
times as to his health. O'Reilly was
anything but cold now: be was perspir-
ing profusely. and he felt his collar
grow:rc limp. To shatter this old mans
eager hopes would be like kicking a
child in the face. Carter had never
