r udendorf the
IL Ruler of Germany

Scheidemann struck harsher notes. lie
said that the dismissal of Kuehlmann
showed that Germany was without civil
government, and demanded that Hertling
proceed with energy against the "side gov
eminent" which was working against the
Reichstags peace programme. Referring to
Won STEMS secret order, Scheidemann said:
"Things canot go on in this way; and the
time has come to say so openly. Luden-
dorf is ruling, not Hertling Unprecedented
power is yielding to the military district
commanders" Schcidemann claimed that
the morale of the country was being hope
lessly hlightcd by the stupid measures Of
the military authorities; they we're 'club-
bing it to fragments" The military power
was "growing more and more lordly, while
the government becomes weaker and weak
err Away with all side governmental"
Flschbeck, leader Of the Progrcssives
and now become Prussan Minister of Com
merce, also complained that the military
authorities disregarded the will of the gov
ernment, and said that the government
could not continue without a reform of
martial law Nobody sins so grievously

The Demands of
Il the Socialists

Hertlng did not even refer to the mini
mum programme" put forth by the Social
lists on the previous day as their lowest
conditions for taking Cabinet positions in
any new government. That programme is a
part of the documentary evidence leading
to the recent changes in the German gov
ernment; and as it has hitherto been
printed in the American press only in an
abbreviated form it is reproduced here en-
tire. 1t follows:
s"O Unreserved reaffirmation Of the
Reichstag's resolution of July 10, 1917, with
declaration Of willingness to enter a
league of nations having as its basis the

Of the papers say, to have Conservative

save some remnants Of pant German and
Junker ideals. finder the old regime it was
one of the big functions Of the chief Of the
Civil Cabinet to act as factotum for the
Kaiser in d!smissing old and appointing

was to learn that the majority parties had
changed all that" His occupation was
gone, and he was unceremoniously sent
about his business.

Hertling Mistook

The next session OF the committee showed
that Hcrtling had greatly underestimate

his attitude toward military domination,
but the members amply made good his
omission. Groebcr, Catholic leader and

THEIR MARRIED LIFE

Helen, you simply must help me
out of it,
But, Louise, you know how War
rem is about things of that kind.
For my part, l would be only too
delighted to do it. But let me call
him up, dear, won't you?"
There isn't time to do that; I'm
holding the wire now. Mabel says
the boys will be over at her place
unless l find some one to take
them"
Very well, then" said Helen, des-
perately. IN take them"
'Oh, Helen, you're a perfect dear?
All right, she yent on, turning and
speaking into the telephone. MY
sister-in-law will take them, Mabel,
and do take care of that cold. Your
voice sounds dreadful.
She says she can never thank
you enough, Helen, and you GER
tainly were a trump to do it. Don't
look so downhearted, child. Warren
won't be so unreasonable about so
small a thing, will he?"
II don't know" Helen returned.
He may not, but there's the chance
that he may | hate to do anything
like asking people to dinner without
consulting him first"
Does he always consult you?"
NO" said Helen slowly.
We'll, then, besides, you needn't
make any fuss for these boys.
They're glad to get any kind of
home cooking let me tell you.
Why, Bob yas ticllled to death when
/ told him about this crowd of SOL
diers. He said he was sorry we
hadn't done something of the kind
before. You just tell Warren that
if he's the least bit patriotic, he
simply must be nice about enter
tanning Uncle Sans boys"
Helen smiled. well, I must hurry
along home and see about dinner.
| suppose they will be at the house
in plenty of time"
Helen shook her head. mo, I
won't do that, I'll take a chance on
it now; besides 1 don't think he's
at the office this afternoon"
Helen hurried home, stopping on
her way at the florists for a few
simple blossoms. She and Mary put
another leaf in the table and added
a few extra things to the dinner for
that evening. Helen found that in
spite of herself she was looking for
ward to entertaining the soldiers.
She felt a warmth of patriotism
that had not been hers before. Now
if Warren would only be nice and
genial! Her great worry was that
he would act formally with the boys
and make them hopelessly uncom-
Portable. Warren often did this on
purpose to punish her, when she
happened to do something without
discussing it with him first. and he
wished to humble her to the dust.
But Helen went ahead on her own
volition, hoping vaguely that Warren
would come home before the boys
arrived. Then the worst of the
thing would be over, and even if he
decided to act frigid she would, in a
sense, be prepared for it.
Finally everything in the dining
room was ready ar1 Helen went

NO JACK SPRATS
Some Fat Must BE Used to Main
tain Health, but Amount Should
Be Cut Down During the War.

We must eat some fat in order to
live. 1t gives us energy and is an
absolutely necessary part of our diet.
This is the reason that the problem
of saving fat is more serious than
that of saving some other kinds of
foods. Nothing can be substituted
for 1t. Yet we must give an enor-
nous amount of fat from our ma
tional larder to our soldiers and the
Allies if they are going to have the
necessary energy and physical
strength to continue this war.
How are we going to do it, since
we cannot get along without fat
ourselves?
The answer is that although we
cannot get along with less than we
are now using. Experts tell us that
the American people consume three
times as much fat per person on an
average as they should. Certain it
is that Americans eat and waste
more than do the people of any
other country, and it seems reason
able that if other countries can get
along with less, we can.
Let it be remembered that under
the name fat are included, butter,
meat fat, cream, egg yollls. cheese,
nuts, olive oil, bacon, suet, lard,
table and salad oils and vegetable
fats. Butter and meat fats, espe-
cially all forms of pork, are especial
ly needed for the soldiers.
Bacon should be struck off our
home menu entirely, and while but
ter may be used on the table, no but
Ter whatever should be used in cook
ing.
Probably the best known butter
substitute is oleomargarine. This
may be used measure for measure in
place of butter.
Then there are the hardened veg
etable-fats sold under various trade
names. These contain very little
water and may be used in place of
butter in all recipes for bread,
mullins, cookies, cakes, and pastry,
if one and a half tablespoonfuls less
of the hardened vegetable fat is
used for each cup of butter for
which it is substituted.
Vegetable oils like corn-oil cot
tonseed- oil, olive oil, and peanut oil

dressing when she heard Warren
come in.
"Hello," he called. "I came home
early tonight; thought we might go
out somewhere. How about it?" And
then as he came into the room
where Helen was and saw her
gown, he whistled surprisedly.
"Whew, why the fancy dress get
up?"
We'll, dear, l have asked two SOL
dier boys to come here tonight.
Louise and Mabel Garrison were to
divide a crowd between them, and
Mabel was taken down with a cold,
so l told Louise I'd help her out"
And 1 suppose that necessitated
the ridiculous get-up and so forth, -
Warren remarked sarcastically.
why, Warren, this is just an old
dress; l thought I'd make the boys
feel more at home if l wore some
thing bright"
It's the most conspicuous dress
you ever wore in your life, and you
know it,
We'll, 1 have time to change if
you'd rather"
NO, certainly not, wear what you
please. | don't care"
Il didn't think you'd mind so
much, Warren. In a way, | think
we ought to. do things like that,
it's such a little thing, after ALL"
I've told you that l don't think
the boys care about it, and l think
you women are running such mat
ters into the ground, as you always
do"
well, after all, Warren, l prom
ised more to help Louise out than
for any other reason, but I've been
thinking all afternoon how glad l
was to have an opportunity of this
kind. Can't you try to be a little
bit hospitable, and treat them like
friends of the family, so that they'll
enjoy their meal?"
"Of course, do ] ever treat people
bad who happen to be our guests 4?
l never said l didn't approve of the
idea, did /? But trust a woman to
always put a wrong meaning on
everything. 1 was criticising your

that they are coming, you know

now working in a factory. l am
very ambitious, Vbut it is along lines
entirely apart from my present
work. and l can see no means of

1t is a wonderful thing to have
great ambitions. This lad should
cling to them and believe in them.
But he is certaily wasting his
time in trying to figure out his
present and future chances. His
chances are what he makes them.
They are not going to be waited
to him by any set of fortuitous cir
cumstances, and they will be the
result of devoting himself with all
his energy to the task at hand. He
. owes both his employer and him
self something more than preoccu-
patton about his future possibili-
ties. You can't get out of to-mor-
row the things you haven't put into

their sufferings from difiidence
and circumstances. They love
to go out among companions OF
their own age, and long to enjoy
themselves and have good time

hindered and humiliated by eX-
treme bashfulness.
OF course, there are many
methods advised for the over
coming of this unfortunate affiic-
ton, but l have been told by the
persons who suffer from it that
most of them are not very eff
cacious. TO tell persons in the
agonizing throes of an exaggerated
self-consciounesss to forget all
about themselves and try to make
others happy is not very partical
advice. How is it possible to

Bashfulness. like anything else,
can be conquered by persistent
effort. If Il young manor woman
has the courage to keep himself
habitually on the social firing line
he will ultimately win that ease
and grace of manner 10 which he
aspires, and be able to laugh at
his former misery. But during the
period of his initiation he will feel
that being boiled in oil is, by COM
parison, merely one OF life's minor
inconveniences.

DON'T BE sUPERsTITIoUs

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Will you please tell me If it is right
for two sisters to marry two broth
ers. Such is my case and my friend
says that a marriage of this kind gen
orally results in a death. | am patti
emily waiting for your answer.
CAMILLE.
Your question sounds like a relic
of the dark ages. And / thought the
days of Salem witchcraft and equally
tragic, blind superstition were dead
and buried. Now just use common
sense. How under the sun could
the fact that Anna and Mary, sisters.
married John and William, broth
ers, cause death to any of the four?
There is such a thing in the world
as cause and effect. If, when John
marries Mary, William runs after
the wedding carriage to shower 1t
with rice and he climbs around in
heavy snow with pumps on and gets
wet feet to which he does not at
tend, he may get pneumonia and
die-that comes from his own rash
ness with his health and doesn't bear
any relationship to the fact that his
wife and the bride are sisters and he
and the groom are brothers. There
are reasons for everything in this
world, my dear. Superstition is ig-
norance unreasonable. Don't let this
relic of an age when people had no
education and were hardly more than
animals conquer you.

Advice to the Lovelorn
YOU WON'T LIKE MY ANSWER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


| am twenty-five and my friend
is only eighteen. We have known
each other through church work for
five years, but never paid much at
tention to one another until q few
months ago. His father died when
he was sixteen and he has partially
supported his mother ever since. His
father died of tuberculosis and he
now has a sister in a sanatorium with
the disease.
am considered very capable. My
health, mental and physical, is of
the best. l love this boy and he
thinks he loves me. The question is,
what shall we do? We do not con-
slider marriage for two years, at least.
We are extremely happy in each
others company. Neither is jealous
of the other, l think. HAZEL.
There is an obstacle that is real.
However manly a boy of eighteen
seems, it is not fair that he should
be tied down to the responsibility of
marriage. Nor can he be expected
to make a lifes choice by which he
will want always to abide. He hasn't
enough experience nor yet enough
things with which to compare his
emotions so that he can be guaran-
teeu 10 nave IL flSnJ sense OF values.
| think 1T is thoroughly unjust to
boy like this for a girl four years
older than he to plan marriage. If
you can be sensible and self-con-
trolled | don't see particularly why
a friendship need be forbidden. Tu-
berculosis is not hereditary, but the
tendency to it may be. l think the
boy has had too many responsibilities
already-the added one of a wife
seems to me too great a burden to
carry.
