IS one Of the Ingredients given for

and they have written and asked for

Use corn starch, which is easily OBJ

The probable reason for the diff
Guilty in getting wheat starch, is the
general scarcity Of wheat al over
the country. The patriotic thing to
DO. Of course, is to use 70 wheat at
all until the next harvest and then,
probably. as little as possible Every
bit we can spare IS going TO be need

OF the question until after the war.

Secret Of Book Of Revelation.

The number 666 used in the Bible
as symbolizing the beast is constant
source of speculation as to what per-
sonage the mystic numeral indicates.
According to Prof. S. E. Slocum of the
University Of Cincinnati, the key to
the riddle lies in the fact that in the
case of the Greek form Of the name
of Nero, written in Hebrew characters,
the letters of the name have each a
numerical significance according to
the number notation Of the Hebrews,
and the sum of the numbers is 666.
The apostle in excorlating the EN-.
peror would have found it unsafe to
mention him outright, or in some OBJ
vious symbolism, such as in Latin OF
Greek numbers, while using Hebrew
characters would be fair cOncealmeni
to Roman eyes. The other imagery
of the Book of Revelation works out
strikingly in accordance with the as
sumption that John was writing dis
creetly about the prosecuting Roman
emperor.

THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY.

Tulsa Times: The things that are
being said and done by Morris Hillquit,
now OF New York but formerly Of
Russia should be enough TO convince
anybody that this is a free country,
Writing in the New Republic, Hillquit
says that had he been in congress he
would have voted against going to war
with Germany. He would have voted
against the appropriations for guns
and munitions to be used by this coun.
try ageinst Germany.
Papers OF Mr.. Hillquit's Socialist par.
~ clamorously declare that free speech
Is gone and that whoever is opposed
TO the government is forthwith sup.
pressed Nevertheless, this American
citizen, former Russian from a city
now held captive by Germany, is per-
mitted to declare that his country is
wrongfully a war and that its army
and navy should be refused support.
The periodical in which Mr.. Hillquit
so declares himself is generally believed
to be serving a useful purpose in re-
vealing what is in the minds Of men
in regard TO the war, In Germany a
similar publication would be suppressed
and the writer expressing such senti.
ments would be set to making shoes
in a pen Of conyicts, along with the
outspoken Liebknecht In a country
where the disease Of nationalism has
been a forced growth, as is shown so
strikingly in Germany the last half
century, oStracism and persecution are
directed at the Individual whose anti.
nationalism is as extreme as that Of
IIillquit's. From this sort Of treatment
Ilillquit has been free.
As one personal unit Of this republic
IIillquit is OF but slight Importance.
Democracy, however, is Of tremendous
importance. The case Of Hillquit a
free speaking citizen, unhindered and
uninterrupted in the presentation OF
theories and ideas that in Germany
would he taken as criminally treason.

distinction between the democracy Of
the United States and the autocracy OF
