QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Onions

Do. you recommend onions as cure for
colds? IOWA.
Onions are wholesome vegetable, and
for people who like them the flavor is
most agreeable. There are only four
teen food calories TO the ounce of onions,
so as a, food the onion is not important.
II Is an old-fashloned idea to make a
syrup Of onion Juice and sugar as a
cure for coughs and colds. This is prob
ably merely a peasant notion. Raw
onions are frequently Objectionable, be-
cause of the acrid oil they contain. When
properly cooked this oil Is largely driven

the way for a major offensive OF hts
own at this time.
The public reputation by Won Rue-
hlmann of any faith in battlefield
peace makes it especially desirable
from the allied standpoint that Hin
denburg be given the next opportun-
ity to engage in an offensive. EVERY
reason of strategy strongly suggests
that General Foch will welcome a
new blow by Hindenbufg. The Ger.
mans must play directly into the al
lies hands if Hindenburg insists on
a NTH offensive after Won Kuebl
manns announcement that battle
heId victories cannot win the war.
The most important facts for the
allies to know is how the German
people will react to a new slaughter
of herman manIpower by linden
burS after Won Kuehlmanns repudia-
uon by the sword as the right in
stru1nent for gaining peace. The
KAISER too, is deeply interested in
this same question.

u Boats StiH Here.

WASHINGTON, July THAT Ger
man submarines are still lurking OFF
the American coast is indicated by re-
cent navy department messages.
These tend to show operations on a
wide circle, farther out than the orig
inal attacks on coastwise vessels. Ap-
parently the German intention still is
to make a desperate effort for troop
ships.
The Q boats evidently are playing a
crafty waiting game, inasmuch as no
ships have been bagged since the Brit
isher Dwinsk was torpedoed inbound
nearly two weeks ago. The reason for
operations far out from the coast lies
in the fact that the American patrol
was getting too hot on the trail. Navy
men say it is part Of submarine STRAIT
