Calls Release Of
Austria From Its
Rulers Bright Spot

VIENNA. Dec. 27,-The only bright
spot In tho tragedy OF Austria" was
the release Of the country from the
Hapshurg autocracy which could never
be restored, declared Kari Seitz, leader
Of the German socialists in Austria and
president Of the national assembly OF
German Austria, In an interview.
The fate OF GermMn-Austria was
especially tragic, he said, because she
had been accused ~wronEfullv OF kindling
the war. History would prove, he de-
clared, that the German Austrians had
no expansive aspirations against the
Slavs and always had opposed the ac-
ton which started tho war.
The German-Austrian republic, which
had iot yet been recognized by the
entente as an independent state, Settz
declared, wa faced with the greatest
difficulties concerning food supply, raw
material and capital. 1t would hardly
be possible 70 maintain this state eco

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe'S Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Natio-s Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds October, ST %;
November and December $16.08; jan
larry, S14.40 The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14,S07 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only a.
341, 300, decrease of 1876 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and ono-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc-
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

Notwithstanding the high price of
chicken per pound there are few
things in the way of meat that will
go az far. II is surprising in how
many ways a four or hve-pound
chicken can be turned to account.
IN the first place buy a chicken TO
fricassee and be sure TO ask for all
the chicken fat.
To use the fat, place il in little
dish and leave il in the oven when
you are cooking something else in
il. In the course of an hour all the
fat will have melted out of the fiber
that holds il together and you can
then remove the fiber and keep the
pure chicken fat for making pastry
or cookies. There are some very
good cookies that cannot be made
with any other shortening but chick
EN- fat.
GibIet Dish.
See that the pieces of the chicken
are singed and then place it in a
pan with enough boiling water TO
cover the pieces OF chicken half
way. Cover the dish and cook
slowly. Watch il carefully and
from time to time add more boiling
water II necessary. When the
chicken is thoroughly done you will
know it, for then the tough part of
the wing will break readily when
pierced with a fork.
There is no great harm in cook
ing the chicken too much, so err in
that way rather than by cooking il
too little Let il cool in the liquor
and then take the pieces out. Take
out the solid pieces of white meat
from the breast They may be
saved for club sandwiches or for
plain chicken sandwiches.
Also take out the giblets They
may be put through the meat
| grinder and used moistened with a
very little stock for making very
delicious luncheon sandwiches. Or
/ the ground giblets may be seasoned,
mOistened with stock and served on
/ bits Of toasted bread for an entree.
Chicken Pie.
Now pick the remaining parts of
meat in small pieces for a chicken
\ pie. Take every piece of bone and
skin and put it again into the stock
/ in which the chicken was boiled.
I Put this on the stove TO simmer
gently for an hour in order 10 set

am a mother Of three children:
Betty, six years old, Bob. four and
Jack who is two. Up TO the time
Betty was four years old she had
always been a very nervous child
and needed constant entertaining L
hesitated 10 send her 10 kindergar-
ten. but after reasoning with my
self. i finally decided TO SEND her.
The concentration required in the
two years she spent in kindergarten
made a different child Of her, and
che can amuse herself now for many
hours at a time.
Bob entered kindergarten about
three months ago. He is a quiet
child and needs 10 be brought out
OF himself. He seems 10 be getting
needed help in the kindergarten, for
in the short while he has been
there. ne has become more talkative
and active. He now enjoys being
with other children whereas before
ne preferred TO play alone.
There Is nothing more necessary
in bringing up children than to have
them feel that we are interested in
them. Try always TO answer their
questions. If you cannot satisfy
their curiosity. they will surely go
elsewhere for their information.
When the children come home from
school. i ask what they did, what
song they sang, what pictures they
looked at. and so on. They live the
two or three hours spent in kinder
IN
what they have done. i had TO leave
the children for week not long
ago. When L returned they could
not talk fast enough 10 tell me all
that has happened.
A story at bedtime is always well
coined by the children, and i find
that IL is not only enjoyable and
beneficial TO them, but also TO my
self. They never tire OF fairy stor-
les. Nature stories are always in
terestinE, too. Ny children will
choose the same stories over and
over again until they almost know
them by heart.
Several nights ago I was called
away and could not read a story, so
/ promised one for after breakfast
next morning. When breakfast
was over and I thought; Of all 1 had
10 do, IL seemed as if I were wasting
time TO sit and tell stories How
ever. as the children became alb
sorbed in the story and their happy
faces looked up into mine. realized
that time could not be better spent.
The story was that OF Hans and
the Four Big Giants" the keynote
OF which Is helping others. I knew
that the children had got the point
OF the story when they helped me
afterwards 10 clear the breakfast
table.
The kindergarten is a great help
IN making children Independent.
Each child is taught gradually and
IN a playful way to help himself In
a class OF forty. John does not like
TO be the only one who cannot put
on his rubbers or button HE coat.
Perhaps you will say you can teach
independence at home. Granted,
you can. The trouble at home is
that we too often do too many
things for our children. At home,
TOO. we lack the group work so
beneficial in the kindergarten.
Orderliness Is another aim of the
kindergarten. II should also be the

nice little iron stands, made pur-

THE reason is simple" replied

she was pressing; lit is merely that
those iron stands, which you men
ton, are usually just frameworks or
almost wholly of open work, so to
speak, and / think that they waste
heat. This brick, on the contrary,
retains the heat a long time and, as
perhaps you noticed, 1 usually set
il on the stove near the irons. as
they are heating, although it does
not get very near the flames. An
old friend told me about this and it
seems TO me TO be a logical sort of
heat saver.

very small friends made this for me
at school, and she filled it with bay
berries which she picked for NE.
This I use instead of the ordinary
wax; it works exactly the same way,

aim of every household. In kinder
garten all the material is kept in
order II is given out and collected
in an orderly way and each child is
taught 10 pack up his material aft
er he has finished with it. There is
always a place for everything in the
kindergarten. and the child learns
TO put everything in its place.
If your child is not orderly at
home, do not blame him until you
first put yourself in his place and
see if you are expecting the impOs-
sible. We have discovered in our
family that by making things con-
