between Berlin and Vienna and
Washington, and tonight prepare
tons were made to disseminate the
news of Turkeys downfall.
Arthur Page and Walter Lipp-

Paris and the details are being car
ried out by big force, with which
are cooperating the personal staff
and flying corps.
President Wilson's note to Aus

among the American troops within
few hours after it was delivered.
Prisoners who were brought in a

 After doing practical work in baking she can tell at glance which of the ads for shortening, canned foods, etc, ring true and fulfill her individual needs She reads her magazine or news ,pa2er- ads ir the home atmosphere ana makes her own decisions from her own experiences.

 It combines quickly and smoothly with the new Hours and is an ideal frying medium.
 All beef fats contain certain protective qualities which makes them most de, sirable as a regular part of the diet This is because the animal is an eater of leaves, grass, etc.

 foods. Or against it. Theer can be no in- difference CT neutrality on this vital sub ject
 The entire question of purity and econ omy in our national food supply goes di :. rectly back to the intelligence and will of the housewife. What she says goes for she is the buyer-the selector, if you please. of the food for the nation.
 In thees times her work is doubly seri- ous It rests with her to raise young Americans to sturdy man and woman hood in the face of all difficulties. Sub stitutes are all delightful and easy to use once We make their acquaintance, but we must select our substitutes or alternative foods with the same great regard for that quality or perfection which means no waste.
 Of course, every woman will claim to be more interested in the welfare of her family than in anything else in the world. A passive interest, however, never accomplishes anything. This force can be
 turned into a. positive move for clean foods and stores by accepting only pure quality products.
 The united determination of women to have pure foods and clean foods and stores will make it impossible for pro- ducersc of impure foods to exist. Just so long as the individual woman allows her. helf to De imposed upon and accepts foods of doubtful purity there will be unscrup- ulous producers and purveyors anxious to make extra profits on this credulity By nature woman is an economist and moralist. Her standards are gauge of community advancement. For the gem eral benefit of the family her standards must be high. She owes it to her home, her neighborhood and her nation to join Uncle Sam and her aggressive sisters in the fight for clean, wholesome foods.
