ALWAYS Removed the water.

The discovery that the removal or
water naturally present in foods would
arrest decomposition was made man
years ago. The ancient Indians and
the savage tribes of Africa are known
to have dried their surplus meat sup
plies so that they might not be In
want when game was scarce or hunt
ing difficult. Egyptian tradition called
for the placing Of food ia the tombs
alongside the dead, and 1t is said that
dried kernels OF grain more than 6,O00
years old when discovered in the
tombs In our time, yielded perfect
grain upon planting.

Nab GERMANS
AS THEY Land
ON IRISH COAST
British Grab Two, with Case
ment Aid, When They
Leave Subs.
BY CHARLES WHEELER,
In the CHICAGO Tribune.

DUBLIN, May 16.-Two Germans
accompanied the associate of Roger
Easement who recently attempted to
land in Ireland, and all three are now
supposed to be in London, probably in
the Tower
The three men came ashore in col
lapsible boats from {, submarine. An
inkling of the arrests resulted in
spreading the story Of many German
officers succeeding in landing in the
south Of Ireland. I have been authori
tatively informed that there were only
these three. and they were nabbed be-
fore they were able to stretch their
legs on dry land.
Count on Enemy Help.
In the present excited state OF the
popu1ace Wild rumors are soon exag-
gerated in the repeating. Authorities
are said to possess the information
that the more desperate Irish rebels
have been counting on help from Ger
many for some time.
The story has been circulated that
Germany would land men and arms
from big submarines to help the new
uprising. In the rural districts of Ire
land the presence of military forces is
accounted for by the story that they
were sent over to Illustrate the Ger
man landing. All manner of explana-
lions are invented for the most ordi-
nary events.
French Still In London.
Niscount French, the new lord lieu
tenant of Ireland. is still in London.
Pending his return, the Nationalist
and Sim Fem press attack the ap-
pointment vigorously. The Nationalist
views him as a military dictator, and
sees the determination of the govern
ment to bring Ireland under the heel
of martial law, viewing the situation
with growing alarm. -.-
The Unionist press welcomes French
as guarantee of "strong and firm
government" The hierarchy oppcsi-
tion to CONSUMPTION is bitter. In all
churches and cathedfals the people
are warned to get ready for the crisis
and put their houses in order to resist
Wider Powers in Ireland.
LONDON, May 15.-There has been
no change in the constitutional posi-
tion of the chief secretary for ireland.
but in view of the situation there the
lord lieutenant would exercise to a
greater extent than recently the Gus
tomary full responsibility attaching to
his office, the house of commons was
informed today by Chancellor Bonar
Law, spokesman for the war cabinet

secretary while not in the war cabi.

Lovers of well-sweetened coffee
who suffered curtailment of their
usual quota during the recent sugar
shortage, are casting about for SUBJ
stitutes against the coming Of an
other sweetless period. A more ex-
tensive use Of maple sugar is sug-
gested. This suggestion emanates
no doubt from sources unacquainted
with the limited output of maple
sugar, the amount Of labor connect
ed with its manufacture and the re-
sultant high cost. Cheap maple
sugar or syrup means adulteration.
From four to six gallons Of sap
are required to make one pound of
sugar. Three gallons of sap is the
average daily yield per tree, or one
pound Of sugar in two days. The
average sugar yield of maple is

Is, 900, 900 Francs a Month
from New Tax on Luxuries
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, May 15.-The new ten pei
cent tax on Injuries produced nearly
100000 francs during the first month
it was in force
The ministry of finance expresses
satisfaction over this outcome, as It
was achieved despite the fact that
many persons anticipated payments
for goods in order to avoid the tax
while many other postponed payments,
hoping the tax would be repealed, as
there has been considerable agitation
against it. AS an additional handicap
upon receipts, the month included the
Easter holidays, when business was
dull.

sap and many hours Of careful
