HAD LAUGH ON GERMAN SPY
How Charles M. schwab Made 4
Monkey Out Of Emissary of
Of Kaiser.

"Charles NJ. Schwab had an adven-
ture with n German spy" said Phil
adelphia editor, "a short time before
we entered the war.
Mr.. Schwab went ont to Chicago
on some munitions business, and the
spy logged him like shadow all the
way-dogged him all over the Windy
city. too.
''One evening, to fool the fellow. Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms in
the hotel library, and then he tore
couple Of the kilograms up, scattered
them on the floor and hurried from
the room.
The spy, who was. of course, right
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed. and so after a bit he stole back on
tptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise
What he saw made him smile. The
spy was down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram.
Mr.. Schwab, standing in the door
way, gave a loud laugh. TIKI he
said:
Boy Ed, or Won Papen. or what
ever your name is, I'm pleased to see
that you Germans care more about
scraps of paper now than you used

CORN VS.. PORK
BY HAMLIN GARLAND
Of the Vtoilantcs.

If the war goes on Gas 1t seems likely
to do) we may come to Doctor KEEL
logg's way of thinking and cut out
the raising of pigs altogether. He es-
Inmates that it takes nearly ten pounds
of corn to make pound of pork, and
that when we get the pork we are
worse off than If we had none. This,
I suspect, Is true, for /, under orders
Of my doctor, have had no pork of any
kind for three years.
Kellogg is an extreme vegetarian, of
course, and his statements must be
read in the light of that fact. And
yet he has logic on his side. Why
continue to feed the most vital food
of the human race to droves of ami
mails whose flesh is admitted to be I'M
wholesome to many people and without
which all of us would be better ONT
Another curious reflection comes in
when discussing the raising of any
kind of flesh food. How much Of the
corn or oats goes to supply energy for
exercise on the part of the animal2
Every time pig or steer takes
trot or a gallop around the yard
considerable amount of food Is used
up In a muscular action. This sounds
like joke, but 1t isn't, 1t is a seri-
Gus observation on the part of vegeta-
rians.
The Germans, with their usual EN-
cheney, have taken these matters in
hand. They have decreased the num-
Der Of pigs not only to save food, but
to preserve q certain balance in the
ration. We may yet come to Kellogg's
point of view and begin the re-
duction of pork raising to save corn,
retaining only enough pigs to act as
scavengers OF the kitchen refuse.
This much we can do, we can feed
our hogs with care. / wonder how
many Western farmers still feed their
pigs as they used to do by throwing
the corn Into the pen? At that time,
with corn at 10 cents bushel. it didn't
matter how much was trampled into the
mire, but now the case is different. We
are careful to clean our own plates,
and yet am not sure that the farmers
are making their cattle feed go as far
as it might by careful rationing. AMI
mails used to be overfed on our farms.
Are they being scientifically fed now?
Corn and wheat can win this war,
and when the final choice is made pigs
must go, cotton and wool be reduced
in amount, and cattle be raised without
exercise and In the most economical
way.
AS / write these things I am sud-
denly taken anew with the wonder of
the changes that have come to this

With the British Army in France,

on the necessity of economizing men.
The order asserts that the two ele-

The order is frank in explaining

The document warns commanders
that should the enemy obtain a foot

Another captured order informs the
German regiments that they must

Fruits should be served in some
form to children at least once a day.
Fruit, juices and the pulp of cooked
fruit, baked apples and pears, and
stewed prunes are safest. Whether
the skins should be given depends part
ly Oh the age and health of the child
and partly on the way the fruit is pre-
pared. If the skins are very tender,
they are not likely to cause trouble,
except with very young children.
When apples and pears are baked the
skins can be made tender by frequent
basting.

Sugar saving not only means cutting
down on consumption, but 1t also
means preventing waste. Americans
} have allowed their fondness for sugar
TO increase to the point where 1t has
passed extravaganza and become ac-
rtual waste. Over-sweetening Of tea
and coffee Is one of our great faults.
More than this. too often a good part
of the sugar is not dissolved and is
left In the bottom Of the cup to be
thrown away. Every housewife should

children as well as the grownups must
be willing to do without some of the

The strength OF the German opposi-
ton from Immediately north of the
Somme river to the river just below
Roye, apparently has checked the east
ward march of the allied troops. Ger
man resistance has not prevented the
French on the extreme southern end
of the line from winning additional
points OF great strategic value in the
hill and forest region between the
Disc and the Matt, where Lassigny
and Noyoa are the ultimate detectives.
The capture of these places would
result probably in the forced eyacua-
ton by the Germans of the Noyon-
Roye- Chaulnes line and would have a
marked effect ON the battle line run
ming southeastward past SoisSons and
thence along the Vesle river.

stood Monday, although all the allied
troops have bettered their stands

ers. The Americans and French at
last accounts were in the environs of
Bray. north of the river, while south
of the river the Germans continued in
possession of Chaulnes and Roye,
which seemingly they intend to de-
fend at all hazards.
Notwithstanding the enemy's eff
forts, Chaulnes is receiving a mighty
visitation of shells from the allied
guns, and Roye has been SO en-
croached upon that it is now under
heavy cross-fire from both the north
and south, and seemingly both towns
