ITALY STRONG FOR AMERICA

Chicago, July 25-Italy always has
been strong for America and today
there is cementing a friendship be-
tween the two countries that will en-
dure through time. The visit Of
American soldiers to Italy, regiments
made up of present and future bust
ness men of the United States will
forward commercial relations Tor the
after-war period that will go far to
quickly reimburse both countries for
the expense of the great war.
Lieut.. Roberto Violini, of the Italian
army, on an important government
mission to this country, is one of the
younger generation of trained bust
ness men in Italy. In his addresses
in this country he has voiced this
sentiment repeatedly.
In speaking of the relations of the
United States and Italy recently, the
lieutenant said
Germany has tried to make you
feel as though Italy were only a side
show in this war, but it was in the
days of Italys distress and calamity
that you came to our help. which
shows your chivalry and gallantry.
You do not care to help the strong,
but the weak. When we saw you
come, with the Red Cross and your
relief committees. and all your help,
we've really melt away.
I'VE are brothers together, Italy
and America. Nearly every one of us
has a brother or some one over here.
We think this is the only place to
| come to.
"Our people were not prepared to
go to war. We had no arms, no train
ed men. |, knowing nothing of sold
ery, was put with book of instruc-
tions to drill sixty men. Two nights
| later>we were ordered to attack the
Austrians with Alpenstocks-yes, n
German name but n good weapon"

INTEREST SHOWN.
IN CREAM CHEESE
MAKING CONTEST
Many Women VIII Enter Contest ut
Germantown Fair For Best
Cream Cheese.

Since 1t was announced that valu-
able prizes would be awarded at the
Germantown Fair for the best cream
cheese much interest has been taken
in Mason and adjoining counties in
cheese making.
The following recipe is the one used
..by Mrs. Stanley f. Reed
Into a gallon of 10 to Is per cent.
sweet cream or whole milk put one or
two tablespoons of starter, fresh but
termilk, stir gently and heat to about
'S5 degrees f. Then add about twenty
drops of Rennet Extract or its equiv
alent in Rennet Tablets. Dilute the
Rennett in ten times its own volume
Of cold water before it is addedJo the
milk If it is not Quilted it is difficult
to get it evenly distributed without
coagulation. Mix we'll in the milk then
cover the vessel carefully in order to
three hours, at the end of which time
a soft but fairly firm curd will be
formed This accomplished take some
ordinary cheese cloth stretch it over
bowl or a fairly close wire screen
and ladle the curdled milk carefully
over to the cloth by means of per-
forated skinner. Allow the curd to
drain for a little while then gather
up to drain from - to "a hours.
In order to prevent excessive loss
of butter fat care should be taken not
to break the curd any more than ne
cessary during the process of ladling
and draining. When the curd has been
sufficiently drained it should be sailed
according to taste and the salt mixed
in thoroughly by kneading the cheese
1T is advisable to transfer the curd to
"a clean cloth before sailing but this is
not absolutely necessary. Now, wrap
( in between two boards and press
lightly for a few hours. The curd
will then assume firm somewhat
pasty and mealy consistency and is
ready to eat.
If the cream cheese is to be market
ed 1t should be put in four ounce
packages and wrapped up in wax pa
per and tin foil. A gallon of cream
manufactured in the way mentioned
will produce between two and three
pounds of cheese.
Cheese is best when fresh, although
it will keep for eight or ten days il
kept cool. This cheese may be mixed
with nuts. olives or pimentos for var.
iety.

POLITICIANS
URGED TO KEEP
WORLD SAFE
League to Enforce Peace Has Tossed
Its Hat Into the Political Ring.

New York, July 26--The League to
Enforce Peace has tossed its hat in
TO the political ring, although its Of
ficers take pains to state that the
campaign is absolutely non-partisan
The League has ADDRESSED a letter to
Democratic and Republican leaders in
Kentucky, beginning with the Nation
al Committeeman and State Chairmen
and including the members of the
State Executive Committee and the
County Chairmen. This letter urges
that the political conventions held
this summer and fall pay attention
not only to winning the war and max
ing the world safe, but to keep the
world safe by Stacking German mill
tary despotism forever. 1t urges the
insertion in every convention plat
form of plank favoring the entrance
of the United States into a League
of Nations to Safeguard the Fruits of
Victory"
w. r. Boyd, Jr., the young Texan
who recently came to New York, to be
the Leagues National Campaign Man
ager, pointed out today that the
League of Nations movement is far
too big to be partisan because 1t is
the noe great statesmanlike program
of political world reconstruction to
which practically every important AL
lied leader is committed. Its leading
opponents in this country be said are
{ Democratic President and Repub-
lican eX-President Mr.. Taft not to
mention former candidates for the
Presidency. on both Democratic and
Republican tickets-Alton b. Parker
and Charles f. Hughes.
AS war platform the League asks
every convention in the state to adopt
the following:
1--WE declare that it is the supreme
task of the civilized world to crush
the insolent attempt of German au-
| luCIdCy W SuDSlllule Il military ulC-
tatorship for self-government and the
right of Independent thought The
world must be made for democracy by
the defeat of German militarism. We
want no peace without Victory, and
we demand Victory so complete and
conclusive that military ambition will
be forever silenced and a peace Sc
cured that will make an end of war.
The world must be kept sare by the
cooperation of the major force of
mankind and that force should be or
ganized by league of nations to keep
the peace of the world. And we ia
Ivor the entrance of the United States
after the war, into such a league of
nations as may be adequate to safe

SUGAR RATIONS
TO Be REDUCED
AUGUST FIRST
Needs Of Allies Require That Ameri-
can People Must BE RatlOned Two
Instead of Three Pounds
Per Month.

The American ration of three
pounds of sugar each person a month
was Thursday cut to two pounds by
the Food Administration. The order
takes effect August l and is expected
TO remain in force until January l. 1t
may be possible at that time to loos-
en- the restrictions somewhat.
A similar order to public eating
houses limits their sugar supply to

ufacturers, who are already operating
on tifty-per-cent basis. The Food
Administration expects that the do
nestle reduction to two pounds will
save enough sugar to meet the neces
stiles of our allies
The ration remains a voluntary one,
and there is no intent to make it com
pulsory. but the supplies of sugar on
| hand are to be allotted to the various
states on the two-pound basish and
failure of voluntary rationing in any
state will create a deficit in that state
which will not be met by the National
Administration by further ALLEGATIONS.
The reduction became necessary to
meet the pledges being made by Food
! Administrator Hoover to the allies.
! England is now on a two-pound basis,
| though before the war she used more
sugar than the United States. France
| allows its people a maximum of a
| pound and half, while the Italian ra-
| ton is a pound. These are compul-
sorry rations.
! Recently these nations have been
unable to meet even these rations, and
have called to America for help. The

Recently over 10000 pounds were
lost in submarine sinkings.
Abroad, the German invasion of
France has destroyed a great proper
ton of sugar beet acreage in that
country and the enemy is in posses
sion of many of the larger beet sugar
factories.
On top of the shortages at home and
abroad comes greatly increased de-
mand from our own overseas army,
largely exceeding the earlier esti-
mates, and this country is under
agreement to supply certain fixed
amounts of sugar to neutral nations
in exchange for other necessary food

4 CLERGYMAN IN THE THICK
OF 1T

George w. Titus, formerly clergy
man of Mishawaka, Indiana, is now
serving as a Y. NJ. c. A. secretary in
the midst of the shrapnel fire on
the western front. He has been at
tached to an advanced hospital unit
and acts as stretcher-bearer as well
as spiritual adviser of the men. He
is loved by the soldiers for his her
Dish and self-sacrifice, and when the
hospital was ordered to move they
feared the loss of Titus so greatly that
the Colonel demanded of the Y. NJ. C.
a. that Titus remain, saying he was
considered a permanent member of
the unit.
This regard is typical of that shown
to all the secretaries with the fight
ers on the mobile front To Y. NJ,
C. A. girl worker who cheered up the
soldiers in an advanced dressing sta
