We have outlived the halcyon days
OF golden apples and magic fruits from
Fairyland-but we have fine modern
substitute-the ordinary-and extra
ordinary LEMON.
Any woman can DO wonders with a
lemon. Its versatility is almost un-
carry and she who Is mistress OF its
valuable mysteries is able to COM
mand its service in housekeeping. in
cooking. in the laundry. at her table.
in the medicine chest and on her toilet
table.
From Fletcher Berry's interesting
book on Fruit Recipes come some
most valuable hints on unusual uses OF
the lemon-among them a novel lem

Of cold water and cupful of sugar.

starch and use as a filling for baked
pie crust. Cover with meringue and

An excellent recipe for lemon flavor
ing comes from the same source. For
the extract OF lemon pare fresh, firm
lemons quite thin and cover the shaw
ings OF the yellow part Of the rind with
pure grain alcohol. Put in bottles and
cork very tight. When the alcohol
turns bright yellow II is ready for use
and should be poured OF the rind into
another bottle from which 1t is used
in cooking.
As a tonic and blood purifier lemon
ranks highest among the fruits. II is
particularly valuable for disorders OF
the liver. The Italian lemon cure for
malaria recommends: "Slice thin one
lemon, including rind. and put in a
saucepan with one and one-half pints
cold water. Cook down to IL pint,

Supervise Wartime Charities! |!

A supervision over the soliciting Of
money for "war charities" is to be un.
dertaken if the recommendations Of the
District Council of Defense, to the
Commissioners are followed. This is
desirable. There should be a strict
scrutiny Of all the enterprises and ap-
peals made in the name of the war. 1t
is proposed that the charities indorse-
ment committee should pass upon these
matters and that the approval Of that
body should be requisite in every case
1t is assuredly no less necessary to
supervise war charities than peace
charities. Indeed, it is more essential,
considering the quickened impulse of
the people to give under the stimula-
ton of patriotism. Official super
vision will not cause any loss Of funds
TO worthy war charities. On the con-
trary, it will aid all those that are es-
sential, for it will prevent wastage.
Unfortunately, there are certain peo-
pie who take advantage of such stu
alton as tie present to profit from the
public generosity. and the proposed
supervision is merely designed to pro-
tect the people from such imposition.

Independence Day Pageant.

All indications point to remark
able demonstration in this city on In
dependence day. Plans under way
contemplate a pageant such as has
never before been seen in Washington,
to typify and demonstrate the infinite
sources of the American population.
Preparations are in progress by repro
sentative groups of people. Every ma
tionality and race now enrolled in the
American citizenship will contribute
to the program.
Cooperation by the citizens of
Washington generally in this affair is
essential. The observance Of the day is
more than a mere matter of pleasure
It is a patriotic duty. The celebration
of the national birthday has been re,
deemed from the barbaric practices OF
the past. No longer is it an occasion
of death and injury and destruction
Now that the country is at war it has
Q serious significance, and it was q
happy thought to utilize the occasion
this year by illustrating the remark
able character of the American people
drawn from all parts of the world, all
races and all nationalities.

larger type the average phone user
would be able to use it more effectively.
Fhe present print is so small that it
can be interpreted only in strong
light and by particularly good pair
of eyes.
Devotion OF the full space on each
page of the telephone directory to
phone numbers alone, with all business
cards and announcements eliminated,
would save enough space in the book
for the use Of a larger type. 1t is not
essential that the book be materially
enlarged if this practice is followed.
The telephone directory should not be
considered and used as an advertising
medium. 1t is part of the telephone
service, for which the subscriber pays,
and the utilization of the pages of the
book, which is essential to the use Of
the phone, for remune-atiye business
cards is an imposition upon the sub
scribing public, if the effect is to con-
dense the primarily important infor-
nation of names and numbers into an
almost unreadable space.
Make the phone book more easily
read and it will be more generally
used.

More Broken German Pledges.

Germany disregards. not only SOL
emn obligations regarding the manner
of waging war entered into in the days
of peace, when all war rules were in
! sense theoretical, but she violates
special agreements made since the be-
ginning of hostilities. Some time SUBJ
sequent to the outbreak Of the war
France and Germany entered into an
arrangement, through one of the neu-
trail powers, that no military prisoners
should be used for any services with
in twenty miles Of the front. This was
| in line with a we'll established rule,
! framed in the peace times, against the
employment of prisoners in actual
combat works.
A letter taken from the body of a
German officer in recent operations
proves conclusively that Germany has
violated that agreement. 1t is dis
closed that in the advance at the
Chemin des DANES, ON the Aisne front,
French prisoners were forced, by dint
of threats of death, to drag mortars
INTO the trenches as they were sue
cessively captured.
No faith can be placed in German
pledges, however formally and solemn
W given. Berlin proceeds upon the
principle that anything is justifiable in
war. however horrible. Poison gas was
employed in distinct violation of The
Hague agreement. Hospitals are bonn
barded in direct contravention of that
same compact. Unfortified cities have
been shellcd. Prisoners have been
orntally treated, civilians slain and
pressed into military service, children
have been mutilated. Every crime on
the calendar has been committed by
the invading Huns.
This latest demonstration Of faith
iessness is not surprising. 1t simply
shows that the German is not to be be-
lieved, in any circumstances, not to
be trusted on the basis of any oath
or pledge. Only force will compel him
to respect the law. Only force will
keep him in proper order.
