Not long since, the War Industries
Board issued manifesto TO all
newspaper publishers; Article Is OF
which said emphatically:
NO publisher shall use premi-

to stimulate his circulation"
This particular provision was
hailed with SATISFACTION by the pub
fisher of every legitimate newspaper,
as none but tottering publications
and get-rich-quick editors resort to
these antiquated means of collecting
money in advance, and making the
subscribers pay the freight.

in a communication he offers book

newspapers in boosting circulations
He assures us that the book is mot

true, but how does he expect TO

MAKE MOST OF APPLE CROP.

Most people know apples are health
full. But a great many do not know
that they are among the most nutri-
tious OF fruits and that their value in
this way is higher than that Of many
every day foods commonly regarded as
Indispensable To our tables. One
pound of raw apples has the food fuel
value of 900 calories. Translated in
4 TO every day terms this means that
apples have about three-fourths the
nutritiye value of potatoes and as ey-
! cry one knows, potatoes are solid
and dependable food.
Without realizing the real food val.
ne OF apples, however, people have
nevertheless eaten them freely for
| hundreds OF years,--yes, even back
in prehistoric times apples were a
common article of food.

[commOn form probably originated

of the world south of the Caucasus

A number Of other wealthy Hebrews

kaiser In another way. Although he
was averse to visiting the homes of
private individuals who lacked social
standing, he departed from his rule In
their favor and visited their mansions

but actually to tickle their vanity.
Shortly after Leishman became am
bassador to Germany, the kaiser called
On me.
"Your new ambassadors daughter Is
the best looking young lady who has
attended u court In many a day." he
declared. "Half Il dozen of my young
staff officers are very anxious to marry
her. Can you tell me, Davis. whether
these LeishmanS have money"
If the kaiser dcsplsed the American
propensity for mOney-making, he was
certainly not averse to acquiring
American dollars.
He told me once that every trip the
Hamburg-American liner Amerika
made from New York to Hamburg re-
suited In transferring $15O,OOO from
American to German pockets, and
added "We're mighty glad to get some

OF the kaiser's versatility I had
convincing evidence. In his conversa-

from subject to subject in the most
haphazard manner, and he invariably
displayed II surprising store of infor-

to have so many enemies, he was less
suspicious than anyone / had ever

his sense Of security unloosened his
tongue and made him more laxative,
perhaps, than vas always discreet.
