THE HOUSEWIFE IN WAR

Even though active fighting on the
front has stopped is no reason that
the thrifty housewife will now return
to extravagant ways. The food admin
istrator tells us that we can get pure
wheat -four. That in itself is a treat
that should not be deprecated by
other delicacies at present. 1t is ap-
pie and grape time, make the best OF
1t.
Store the apples. dry them, can

your hands on by making them into
the delicious jams, jellies and mar
malades that will make you forget

The following recipes are two de-
lightful ways of combining apples
with grapes. The second recipe is
from materials left over from the
first grape and apple jelly.
Grape and Apple Jelly.

Grape and Apple Marma1ade.
The pulp left from making grape
and apple jelly may be rubbed
through a sieve and combined in any
proportion desired. For every pound
(about a pint) of pulp add 2-S cup or
7 1-2 ounces of strip and IA cup or
2 ounces sugar and IA to IL cup Of
water.
If the pulp Is already and dry 1t may
be necessary to add a little water.
About IA TO 1-2 u to a pint of pulp
will be sufficient. If juice has not

be added for Juicy fruit.

Missionaries Turned Korea to
Support Of Allied Cause

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-Persistent
effort on the part of American mis-
sionaries from all denominations dur
ing the past year has shifted Korea's
sympathies from Germany to the side
of the Allies. DIR. Paul L.. Grove. su-
p~erintendent of the Methodist Epis-
copal mission at Haiju, made this
statement upon his recent return to
America, after working among tho
Koreans for many years.
Korea was pro-German because
Japan stood with the Allies said DR..
Grove. Her people were constantly
asking the missionaries why America
they believed represented the side of
freedom. We explained that a Ger
man victory would not mean liberty
for them and tried to make them see
the big principles back of the strug-
gle. Our arguments, backed by their
implicit confidence in the United
States, caused many to change their
viewpoint at last.
THE present administration OF
Korea is largely military. Even the
humblest government clerks dress In
uniform and school teachers wear
swords In the class room. Practically
every Korean nourishes q secret wish
to come to America. though few out
side of the student class are able to
have their ambition realized. They
frequently try to board steamers dis
guised as Chinese"
DIR. Grove declared hat the Koreans
respond more rapidly to Christian In
huence than any other Oriental peo-
pie. Many residents of Haiju give
one-tenth of their income to church
work. When the Methodist Episcopal
church celebrates the Centenary ami
versary of its first mission next year.
Korea, who has made an extensive
survey OF the country, will present a
statement of it's needs to the Joint
Centenary Committee.

Letter From Private MichcaI j. Egan.
Dear BILL
I am writing this letter on German
paper and 1 hope to write the next
one on the kaiser's desk. that is II
he a any. The place I am in now
has been held by the Germans since
1914 and II surely Is fixed up fine.
They have a garden here with all
kinds of vegetables and also have a
bowling alley, swimming pool, and
even q cafe. In q dugout we found
a plano n q victrola and lots of
other stuff.
The only Germans who did not
leave here are the dead ones and I do
not think they will go back to Ger
many. I met Chester Nestly and we
had a high old time. We had been
In the same place for ~forty-eight
hours and did not meet each other.
The Americans ran the Germans out
so fast that 1t was a hard job to
keep up with them. Our company
was supposed to be in the drive and
when 1t started we moved up to the
lines but they had gone SO far that
we could not catch up to our own
men. We are eight miles behind them
and they are going yet.
1t Is quite some sport to watch the
aeroplanes battle round In the air
like birds, and of course the one that
stays in the air is the winner.
There are q bunch OF Amboy fell
lows right around here and 1t almost
seems like home. If the kaiser's back
Is not broken by this time his heart
must be pretty nearly gone. They say
he has not the kick he had a year
ago and we are glad of that.
I think we did our share of walk
ing over here, one day we walked
thirty-two miles lookingSfor a place
to fight and when we got there we
found the Germans all right. Do you
remember the time we used to eat
.pumpernickle bread? Well the Ger
mans left some behind them and they
also left some booze, but we could not
find 1t. I guess the officers beat us to
