STEP THAT ATTRACTS
Says women pay too much heel tC
Their face instead of their ccrcs.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than love-

ed corns ard ycu limp little. That's
bad, girls, and you know it. Corns
destroy beauty and grace, besides
corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of eve-y corn by ask
ing at any drug store for a quarter
of All ounce or freezone. ms will cost
little but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from ones

A few drops applied directly upon E
tender, touchy corn relieves the sore

though this Is not to be recomme ended
for wartime feeding. The fowls
should hav- access TO plenty OF sharp
grit to aid digestion. and as blood
purified some feeders mix little
sulphur in the mash once every two

TO six weeks, n little tallow may be
added to the feed.
KILLING AND DRESSING
SHOULD BE CAREFULLY DONE
Next to finishing the poultry comes
the need for correct killing and dress
ing. If dressed fowls are not given an
attractive appearance, the fatteninE
work Is likely to be a lost endeavor,

against tho poorly picked carcass. no
matter how fine the quality OF the
flesh may be.
Scalding Is the most rapid method OF
removing the feathers, and there Is
less loss in dressed weights than BY
dry picking, due to the absorption OF a
small amount OF water. but it is al
most impossible to practice this
method without destroying the natural
appearance OF the skin. II the water
is too hot, or the fowl is immersed
too long, the skin is partly cooked,
and the thin scarf skin peels off, which
causes the ceSh TO dtScolor.
II the water is not hot enough, It Is
then difficult to remove the feathers
without tearing the skin. The correct
temperature Is about $50 degrees, A
little under boiling point. When the
feathers are removed SINCE the body

new ally who can be depended upon to
supply million men in 1915 and, in The
meantime, to give ever increasing aid on
the sea and in the furnishing of food and
munitions. AS Wellington waited for the
Prussians at Waterloo, the new Allies can
afford to wait for America in this war.
The Germans, on the other hand, cannot
afford to wait. Their submarine campaign
no longer promises victory, it is slowly but
surely being mastered, and a year hence
the situation is likely to be better for the
Allies in the matter Of shipping than now
German victory before America arrives
may be possible, it may prove impossible,
but it is the one clear chance Of realization
of German war aims, and victory after
America gets up is unthinkable. Germany
has now to spend her last reserves, ac-
ouired through Russian collapse in seek
ing a decision, as Napoleon put his guard
in at Waterloo, hoping to smash the Brit
sh before the Prussians could get up in
sufficient numbers.
AS for the Allies, they have to parry
this blow as they parried two similar
blows the one at the Marine. the other al
Verdun. That their armies can do this
the past would seem to prove unmistak-
ably, for the Germans will have no such
advantage in 1918 as they had in 1914 end
1916. But the problem is only military in
a minor degree: the real test must come
among the people of France, Of Italy and
of Britain, for it is against the will and
determination of the people behind the
fronts that the Germans are going to
strike, primarily.
Now it is we'll to face things as they are.

Strasburg is the Trieste of the Germans.
German blood has been shed for Trieste,
and, so far as Strasburg is concerned,
here are Count Czernin's words: 'If any
body asks whether we are fighting for
Alsace-Lorraine my reply is: Yes, we are
fighting for Alsace-L Lorraine" Not with
words alone, for our allies will place them
selves, brave and true, at our side on the
West front, too The entire common
strategical reserves of the Central Powers
can, at word from Hindenburg, be
thrown upon the West front. Such is the
military result of that weghty political
declaration by Count Czernin. That de-
stroys enemy hopes and strengthens our
own moral and physical power. This new
vow to give assistance by arms, this con-
fession of adherence to the German de-
fensive war, will be heard in the remotest
houses of France, England and the United
States People win there recognize the
cause for the proud confidence of the Ger
man people and their allies, and they will
see that the league of Central Europe will

can assume practical importance-this
bare possibility is the best proof of the
mistaken strength of the German posi-
ton Let us look back over the long and
dangerous road that we have come. The
war of the Central Powers, which can
only be regarded as a unity, has been
waged in stages; we tried to subdue
France before Russia rolled in from the
East; we threw ourselves along with our
ally against Nicholai's millions, in order
to dispcl that danger before the armies of
Kitchener and Joffre's new formations
should swing the centre of activity to the
West again; and in the brief pause be-
path to Constantinople. Then came the
climax: simultaneously the Battle of the
Somme against the English, assisted by
the French, Brusiloff's attack in massive
strength and Rumania's surprise attack
upon the harassed Central European
league. We held our ground in the West
thrust Rumania to the ground, smothered
in blood the onrush of the Russian masses,
and began the great combination which,
through the most energetic fighting and
moderation in policy, was intended to
force a peace for us-that is to say, our
peace offer, the U-boat campaign, and an
intensified defence toward the West
Russia dropped out, Italy lost streams
Of blood and strength, France and Eng
land-mightily encouraged by the promises
of the limited States-wero hroupht To q
stand, not without commotion, indeed, but
stout and of unbent will Their cry for
Alsace-Lorraife shows how the barometer
stands. It shows a grave danger for US,
a grave threat against Germany, and
thereby against our whole alliance. They
want to tear away a piece of our terri
tory which we can never give up. And
so we are still fighting life-and- death
struggle, in spite of victory in every stage
of the war. But the great change con-
sists in the fact that we can take up the
fight against the West with Greater
strength than ever before, and that the
strategical combination of the Contra
Powers has shown itself superior to that
of the Western Powers, which is built
upon the hope Of American assistance
