EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER FROM
MRS. NORRIS CLIFFORD

Out of 100000 families in Kentucky
$4,000 signatures were secured.
What of the other two-thirds? In
general there were but two causes of
failure in securing these signatures.
One was the unexperience of the
workers as to methods of organiza-
ton, and the other was the ignorance
of prospective signers as to the pur-
pose of the cards, the international
food situation and the part that each
can and must take in handling it.
Both fortunately are remediable.
The Remedy
The ignorant must be educated and
enlightened by every possible means.
Posters, newspaper articles, meetings,
talks and individual effort must be
resorted to repeatedly, in order to
gain their attention and gain their in
terest.
And the selfsh-what of them?
Public opinion will do It, Make it so
strong so demanding, and so uncom-
promising that unparalleled hospital
ity, combinations for the connois
seurs and over-consideration of the
palate will be abandoned out of shame.
And the lazy-those who let the SOL
diers, who SO need the energy that
sugar supplies, go without rather than
take the trouble of weighing the SUI
gar, in order to use one-third less per
person a day than formerly-what of
them? They need everything-educa-
ton, public opinion and even prayer.

HONEY A SUGAR SUBSTITUTE

Honey Is much more easily digest
ed than sugar. and much more quickly
assimilated. 1t has the popularity OF
retaining moisture, keeping bread
and cakes, for instance, fresh and soft
for long time 1t is delicious on dry
cereals of all kinds, even dry bran,
In combination with most fresh fruits
and nuts, there Is no sweet like honey

almonds, and Brazil nuts, and you
will surely want 1t a second time.
Raisins. spices, and spicy seeds blend
well with honey.
Honey cakes, as we have said, are
noted for their keeping qualities. For
this reason, the use of honey is rec
commended for wedding or black fruit
cake, while 1t gives a richness to fla
vor and texture to even a plain raisin
loaf like the following:

Crisis Coming in Germany.

Notwithstanding Germany's bold front.
and the evident determination of the
pan-German element to maintain and
enforce the policy of military oppression,
il is evident that affairs In Germany are
coming to a critical point The threaten
ed detection of Austria-Hungary would
be a serious blow to German prestige
and German power, and if is liable to
come at any time.
Count C7ernin, Foreign Minister of
Asutria-Hvngary, made very significant
admission, in his address to q delegation,
last week. when he said, in commenting
upon the fourteen points set forth III the
peace address of President Wilson TO our
Congress, that Austria-Hungary and
America were virtually in agreement re-
garding the great PRINCIPLES for arrange
ments after the war.
This can only mean that Austria
Hungary is very near the point Of openly
calling for peace negotiations. And with
Germany deprived Of this ally, her wal
aims would at once go TO smash. The war
is not over, by any means; 1t cannot even
be said the end is in sight. But 1t Is
certain that surface indications are now
trending in the direction of a cessation oi
the war by the defeat of all Of Germany's

EkkSS COMMENTS.
PERsHrNC TO THE BICOTS.

The bigots have hnd their answer from
General Pershing. So dcnunciatory was
the indictment brought against our troops
In France byA church board Of temperance
and morals that mothers trcmblcd for
their sons and the country was painfully
impressed by the positiveness of the
sweeping statement II the stories on
which it was based were true, then our
soldiers were without decency and our
officers hadlos their sense of responsibility.
Officers were said to have given themselves
up to orgies the day they landed in France.
and the soldiers straightway plunged into
vices that sapped their manhood and
disgraced the army.
II was said in the precious document OF
accusation that the United States WAS
showing less regard for the welfare OF its
troops than the French government had
shown for the safety Of the laborers 1t
sent to Tunis. The pro-Cerman brewers

"WOrk-or Go to Delaware.

The Dover Index calls attention TO a
published notice IN the Advertiser OF
Salisbury, Md, to the loafers OF Wicomico
county. to "work or 60 to Delaware. =
That is, if they stay in Maryland they
will have to work. Ii they step over the
line into Delaware, they may enjoy
life of lazy leisure.
'rThis does not sound well for Del
aware" says the Dover Index. 'We
need labor about as much as any other
State, and we certainly do not want to
become a refuge for loafers from other
States. We have work for everyone IN
Delaware, and can employ . part OF
Maryland's population"
So we can, and so we should. If
Maryland's loafers think they can evade
work by simply stepping over the State
line, they may find themselves mistaken.
Governor Townsend has been vested by
the Legislature with unusual powers IN
respect of meeting war emergencies, and
there is no doubt that forcibly putting
loafers to profitable work would come
within his official province. These are
no times for ''slackers" IN any line OF

Credit Where Credit Is DUE"

Some newspapers of this State, COM
mitted to the denomination Of United
States Senator Willard Salisbury at the
Democratic party primaries to tie held
this year, are SO urgent that they ovcrstep
the bounds of propriety. They seize
upon every possible incident they can
think of to present RS an argument IN
favor of his denomination; and also they
are inclined to dig up things that never
existed, but which they conceive to be
the agencies of opposition, and array
themselves fierccly against them.
The recent campaign Of these SALISBURY
organs is to give the Senator entire credit
for the establishment Of the Federal
Notifications on the Delaware bay, near
Milford. AS fact, the selection OF this
site, and the beginning of work now under
way, were the result Of the lsbors oi war
Department officials, long before anyone
else gave the matter thought. Senator
Saulsbury's most conspicuous service In
respect of these Notifications was to have
a Joint resolution passed by Congress be-
slowing upon the place the name OF Fort
Willard Salisbury, in honor OF his father
who was United States Senator from
Delaware, 1855 to 1871.
Senator Salisbury, in the coming
Democratic primary campaign in Del
aware. will either stand or fall on his own
merits. 1t is not denied that as United
States Senator he has done well. tic has
attained distinction by his selection, by
his Democratic colleagues, as President
pro tenn of the Senate. No good cltizer
would for an instant endeavor to deprive
him of his deserved merits. But the rabic
effervescence of some OF his news
paper worshippers are more apt te
incite to opposition than to command re
gard and support.
