KAISER 4 MANIAC.
Alienist Says Mailman Hurls HIS sub
jects into Sfambles.

Boston, May 6.-The kaiser is the
greatest paranoiac il history, accord
ing to an opinion expressed by Dr..
James NJ. Remission, the distinguished
ailenist, who for many years was
head OF the Connecticut State Hospl-
tai for the insane. He declared the
allies are fighting q ruler wi1o Is as
hopelessly insane as any inmate OF a
mad house.
Germany is hurting her manhood
into the shambles of the western front
ana winning for herself the contempt
of the world, at the behest Of mad
man." said the alienist, who mas Asid
the kaiser under longe range ooserVa-
ton fer four years.
"The kaiser's disease IN paranola'
he continued. "He presents every
feature of that psychosis. The most
striking spectacular symptoms OF par
anoia is colossal egoism, which Is
manifested in every word ard act OF
its victim. He reasons logically
enough, but from false or incorrect
premises. He is invariably fluent IN
speech and writing. 4 characteristic
feature is development of de!u<lon
Of persecution which naturally lnciteS
methods of self defense and results /!

"Another.. spectacular feature OF
Wilhelm's disease is his great unfes'

FOCH'S STRATEGY.

!, AS long as the allied armies. go. on
Killing Germans as they have been
doing for more than five weeks, with
out losing any vital positions and
without any break in their own lines,
the nations arrayed against Germany
can afford to be patient, as the Rich
mond Times Dispatch suggests. They
can aqord to do what General Foc'i
asked Premier Clemenceau to do-to
wait. That is easier said than done,
Of course, but the fact must be kept
in mind that this is not battle of a
day or week or even of month. 1t
is battle of a season, perhaps of 8
year.
It becomes more and more obvious
that General Foch is biding his time,
He is holding his force in reserve un-
til he has worn the German strength
down to point where it can be fairly
met on even terms, if no more. He
knows better than any other man
outside the German general staff-the
extent of the German losses during
the past few weeks. He probably
knows better. than any man in any
allied nation just what strength the
enemy has and what must be done tc
reduce it.
With these facts to guide him, he
does not propose to risk decisive
engagement until the day and thu
hour have arrived for the supreme
effort. Meantime, he will sell the
ground which the Germans gain at as
high price as possible.
The time must eventually come when
the allied armies will undertake q
counter-movement. Every military
authority on our side assures us OF
that. and every indication points tc
the fact that General Foch is girdine
himself for that stupendous blow. But
it is evident that we must wait, per
haps we must wait for many weeks
before this decisive action is taken
Foch has shown conclusively that he
is not ready to strike, and his delibera-
tion has increased the confidence which
military authorities everywhere have
felt in his judgment. A less far-see-
ing leader might have acted precipi-
lately. He might have thrown his re-
serves into the struggle long ago and
taken his chances on the result. This
commander-in -chief refuses to be
stampeded into a premature offensive
He knows that any action that is
premature might end in a disaster
that could not be overcome in years
Of fighting. Faith in him should be
increased and not shaken by the fact
that he is holding hack until he can
hope to win what will be the most
Hateful battle Of this or any other war.

FALLS AMONG RATTLESNAKES
Snowman Pulled From Pit-Bitten
Several Times.

Several Times.
William Chenoweth, Snowman,
whose sister is a snake charmer with
show which opened for weeks en-
gagement Saturday night on the Elec-
trio Park property, Arlington, neas
Baltimore. for the benefit Of Airing
ton Council No. So, Junior United
American Mechanics, nearly broke up
the show Saturday night and also
came near losing his life.
Chenoweth had been drinking and
made people believe he had revolver
and was going to shoot anybody that
came his way. He turned out the
lights of the show and there was 4
general scramble by women and chill
dren. Going to the large tent in which
there is pit containing several rep
tiles including two large rattle snakes.
Chenoweth fell into the pit and in SO
doing stepped on one of them. He was
attacked and probably owes his life
to Patrolman Hoffman and Charles
Hoffman and Albert Bergman, the
latter two of the Arlington Fire De-
partment, who rescued him.
Patrolman Hoffman arrested Cheno-
weth and took him to the Arlington
police station. He was bitten in sew

NEXT YEARS TWINE.

Binder Irvine for the harvest OF
1919 viii cost American farmers about
three cents per pound less than they
have paid this year; the estimated
total saving to grain growers of the
United States is S6,O00,OO0. This an
nOuncement of the U. S. Food Admin
istration follows an arrangement IT
has made with the Commission Reg
uladora, the Yucatan monopoly con-
trolling sisal, whereby the ComisioD
has contracted to sell 500, 900 bales Of
sisal to Irvine mills of this country
at a price three cents per pound less
than year ago.
That quantity Of sisal represents
the principal supply Of fibre needed
TO manufacture binder Irvine for the
grain harvest of 1919. To maintain
an economical operation Of Irvine
mills in the United States, sisal is
contracted for about year ahead and
IS manufactured into the finished
Irvine throughout thu year. By the
new arrangements, the cost Of sisal
will be approximately Is cents whole
sale at gulf ports compared with 10
cents per pound for the sisal used in
making the Irvine for the present har-
vest.
Since its early investigations of
binder Irvine, which is a vital element
in our grain harvest, the Food Admin
istration has maintained that the
Comision Reguladora Of Yucatan must
sell its sisal at more reasonable prices
If it expects to retain this country as
a large customer. Sisal growers have
complained, however, Of the high cost
Of food and supplies which they secure
form the United States. With the
hope Of establishing a better under
standing between Mexican and Ameri-
ca producers, the Food Administration
proposes an exchange of agricultural
commissions. A commission Of Mexi-
can farmers has been invited to visit
the United States and study the pro-
duction and distribution OF articles
they secure from this country.
In case the proposal is accepted,
the Food Administration plans 70 have
a committe Of American farmers visit
Yucatan to study methods and costs

PENALTY FOR BOARDING.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. "a maximum
penalty of two years in prison and a
$4,000 fine may be assessed in cases
where sugar is bought ostensibly for
canning, but. is boarded instead.
That is the opinion of attorneys
here who have been studying the
Food Control act with reference TO
the sugar situation. Sugar bought in
excess of a weeks supply is considered
boarding in any case. Following is
Section 6 Of the Food Control Act:
''That any person who wilfu1ly
boards any necessaries shall, upon con-
viction thereof, be fined not exceeding
$4,000 or imprisoned for not more
than two years or both. Necessaries
shall be deemed to be boarded within
the meaning Of this act when either
(a) held, contracted for, or arranged
for by any person in quantity In ex-
cess of his reasonable requirements
for use or consumption by himself and
his dependents for a reasonable time;
(b) held, contracted for, or arranged
for by any manufacturer, wholesaler,
retailer or other dealer in a quantity
in excess of the reasonable require
ments produced in surplus quantities
seasOnally throughout the period of
scant or no production"
A person can buy 25 pounds of su-
gar for canning. This is an unreason-
able supply for any family If no fruit
is canned and is therefore boarding.

Water DAMAGE to Flour.

1t is a well-knOwn fact among sail
Ors that flour will not only float after
immersion in sea water. but suffers
very little damage. To ascertain the
actual damage, says the Northwestern
Miller, baker in New South Wales
submerged a bag OF flour in the ocean
and left it in the water 81 hours A
9S-pOund weight was necessary tn sink
a 150-DOUnG bag. which would have
supported = pounds on top of the Wa
ter, II is estimated, or half its own
weight. When lifted and weighed the
bag scaled 155 pounds It was dried
for four days and yielded 30 pounds
of perfectly dry -four. the bag and
waste weighing 2S pounds. Baked int
bread, il gave perfect results.

REVIVAL OF DRYING.

The Great War is resulting in q
revival of drying. Our mothers knew
how to dry, or at least our grand
mothers did. But the present genera
ton has grown up without this knowl-
edge.
Dried fruit and vegetables are as
nOurishing as any other kind. II one
intends to try drying the department
Of agriculture and the National War
Garden Commission have rules for
drying. IN many counties there are
home demonstration agents whose
business is to give instruction In dry
ing and they charge nothing for the
service.
Women who do not know how TO
dry successfully can easily learn.
College volunteer workers who have
taken Food Administration courses
are teaching the drying art. These
volunteers are In nearly every county
of the state. Counties which have
no workers can get them by writing
to Miss Grace Wilkie, Secretary of
Volunteer College Workers, Food Ad-
ministration, Wichita, Kan, or they
can ask for assistance from the State
Agricultural College.
Drying of food does away with all
necessity of sugar. But when food
is canned sugar is not necessary. Can
ming depends on killing the living Or
ganisms, which cause food to spoil,
and sealing tightly. Preservation of
food depends only to a limited extent
on sweetening and the sweetening can
be done away with entirely.
