Stopped to Salute Kaiser.

In the years that followed saw the
crown prince many times driving
through the streets and at public
functions. but I did not come in close
contact with him. I remember seeing
him once in his car as he was about
to enter Brandenburger Tor on his
way up Unter den Linden. The
familiar sound of his fathers motor
behind him caused him to draw up to
one side and stand at salute until the
kaiser had passed on ahead. 1t was
just an illustration of the force of
the bone Of the crown prince. He
simply did not dare drive up Unter
den Linden first. knowing the kaiser
W." following him.
While the crown prince seemed to
respect military requirements, he paid
little attention to the civil regula-
tions. He was the despair Of the traf-
fic policemen and the taxi drivers
and private chaufeurs, as were also
the kaiserS other sons. They all in
sisted upon driving around safety
zones to the left instead of the right
and usually came within an ace Of
colliding with other cars. The crown
prince was a reckless driver at best.
On one occasion he was going SO
fast through a city street that his
car climbed the sidewalk and he
crashed into a lamp post. His car
was smashed. but he escaped injury.
I saw him on several occasions stop
his motor or pull up his horse for the
purpose of giving a coin to a child or
recdy-looking passerby on the street,
a form of ostentatious charity which
appealed very strongly to him.
Among other qualities which he in
herited from his father was a love for
posing in public. He never allowed
an opportunity to pass to make a ia
vorable impression with the people,
and one read almost daily Of his va
rious activities. Either the represent
ative5 OF the German press must have
been omnipresent or the imperial
press agent was unusually efficient

MILK SAVES MEAT-AAo MONEY.

The cooking editor OF the Woman's
Home Companion writes:
There is every reason for using
milk, no reason for not using it. There
are people who think 1t too expensive
because 1t costs a few cents more per
quart than ever before, and so have
cut down their milk supply This is
mistake Milk. even at the present
price. is an economical food. Milk is
so essential to the present and future
health OF the nation that it Is vitality
necessary to keep the price OF 1t with.
in the reach of everyone.
Our bodies must have foods that
supply building material, energy, min
eral substances and regulating and
growth-promoting substances. MILK
supplies all these.
In every quart Of milk there are
from four to five ounces of solid food.
This can be seen when milk is made
into cottage cheese. This is protein OF
the most valuable type and in this re-
spect (protein) a quart OF milk is
equivalent to from four to eight ounces
of meat or four eggs. There is no other
protein food that is so good for young
children A child under five. taking a
quart OF milk day. needs little or no
meet and only an occasional egg:
while the average adult, taxing a pint
of milk day, will need only quarter
of pound or less OF meat per day"
