Strassburg, Nov. 3O.-Several hun
dred thousand Germans in Alsace and

inflicted upon the natives during the
past forty-eight years. A great many

are living in daily fear of discharge
and the necessity of leaving the
country.

according to senators who have can

The danger such situation would

at heart favor open discussions. to vote
against them on the ground that they
would provide the means for stirring
up public sentiment against the league
of nations in this country. Such agita-
ton, it was believed. would put the
United States in a humiliating posi-

powers alike.
Nevertheless, any treaty which pro-

experts who will look after the well
fare of disabled soldiers.
Every disabled soldier in a recon-
struction hospital in America will be
visited by a representative of the di-

be permitted to choose the business or
profession he wishes to enter, and
then will be sent to a training school.
a university or college. During the
training or study period his expenses
incident to the training will be paid
and he will receive a stipulated sum
for living expenses. When he is
ready for business a position will be
found for him.

work is progressing satisfactorily,

said that additional employees are
needed to handle the great number
of cases expected when men begin

For the Invalid.

MANY good cooks cannot cook sat-
isfactorily for sick people. They
fail to realize that the invalid's food
must contain as much nutriment and
as little bulk as possible; that al
though 1t must he nourshing it must
be dainty as well.
After the invald's food Is cooked
much remains to be done to make It
palatable. The daintiest china, the
brightest silver and the whitest table
linen are none too good for the in
valids service. The hot food must be
served hot, not warm, and the cool
food must be served cool. A single
flower on the lunch tray often acts as
better appetizer than a bottleful of
medicine, and small amount of food
taste1ully arranged is sure to be OF
greater benefit than a large amount
unappetizing because of its very bulk.
One difficulty which some homo
cooks experience concerning invalid
cookery is the difficulty of adapting
recipes which call for a quart or two
OF liquid to the needs Of single per-
son. Perhaps the invalid wants coffee
JelIy-and the family wants some
thing else. 1t is hard to make one
portion of jelly; and 1t is wasteful to
make six portions when only one ia
wanted. To make one portion soak a
tablespoonful of graduated gelatin in
the same amount OF cold water. Then
add four tablespoonfuls Of boiling
water. the same amount Of strong
coffee and tablespoonful Of sugar.
Strain and mold in small mold or q
lemonade glass.
One portion of clam broth is made
with six clans cooked in half a cupful
OF water until the shells open. When
they open strain the liquid through q
piece OF cheesecloth, reheat but do
not boil 1t. and add a tablespoonful Of
hot cream or whipped cream. Serve
not IN bouillon cup.
TO make beef juice provide a pound
OF the upper part of the round TO get
four ounces Of juice. Put the beef,
cut In pieces with teaspoonfuI OF
salt in q glass fruit jar with the TOP
screwed on. Place 1t in a pxn OF
water and put it in the oven for
hfteen or twenty minutes. Then drain
the juice from the beef and squeeze
1T in a vegetable press to obtain more
juice. Heat to the desired tempera-
lure over warm water, but do not boil.

Ways With Beads.

PEADS are still in good style.
For this fact the designers must
be thankful. At all events they are
doing some very interesting work
with them. and are still producing
novel effects by the use of beads and
yet more beads.
In one smart frock recently worn by
well dressed woman there was a
band of bead insertion that is az
good name as any other. The froclt
had n skirt of georgctte and bodice
OF brocaded velvet, ana the loose
sleeves showed Il wide band OF beads,
big wooden beads of the same taupe
shade as the velvet. strung in up-aud-
down strands and held together pre-

found their eyes closing involuntarily
at the sight of a gown with fringe.
The same Is true Of the narrow, ac-
cordion-pleated skirt. 1t is strange
full bloom when it was advanced last
February. A New York designer put
out many suits with this skirt, which
clung to the figure as though we were
back in the days Of That's of AleXan
dria. But the mass did not take it up.
Then, all of ii sudden, on the first OF
September, up sprang this accordion
pieated skirt, usually black, with Il
tunic instead OF a redingote over it.
The original one carried IA rcdngotc,
you may remember.
The most daring exhibition of this
skirt was made in a white suit OF
which the short tunic was broadcloth,

chine worn over white silk tights. The
fact that the woman who wore it was
as conspicuous as a fire or a parade
of soldiers seemed to have no effect
on her comDoSure. If this is to he one
of the new styles it is quite we'll for
US to shake ourselves and recall that
we arc not back in the days of the
directore and that Josephine de Beau
harnaiS does not rule.
The truth is that these acrordion-
plcatcd transparent skirts are shown
without IL lining, and II woman must
work out her own salvation if she is
to wear one. And the best part of
it is that they are exceedingly grace
full when properly arranged over Il
thin, supple. tight lining Of satin.
However, if you wish to be on; Of the
