Household Hints

Put all together including skins and
cook till thick
Breakfast Raisin Marmalade-Let
the raisins supply the only sugar
that viii be used in making these
marmaIades, for their virtue is in
the tartness of the fruits and they
are to be recommended as very
wholesome because they contain
only what nature puts into the
fruits
Apple Raisin Marmalade-TO one
cup of ground seeded raisins add
one cup chopped apples and one
cup water. yCoOk until thickened.
Little orange or lemon juice and
grated rind if liked may be added.
Cooked dried fruit, as apricOts,
pears, peaches. or prunes may be
used in combination with the
ground raisins in any proportions
desired and three fruits combined
as apricOtS, apples and raisius. Mix
little hurserauisL into apple rails
in marmaiade to serve with cold
meats or lay it on an omelet in the
frypan just IS the Omelc- is to be
turned and rolled onto the platter.
Catsup added to the narmaladc
mades a simple fruit relish to serve
with cold meats Curry powder
may also be used, bur mix il into
the narmalade and let it stand an
hour or more before using.

Dipped in the red TINT was born of

Born of the blood Tint our forcbcars
To raise your mother, the flag over

And now you've come. in this frcnzicd

To speak from window-to speak
and say:

Conc to be gone till the victory's won.
81 am the flag of the service, sir;
The flag of his mother speak for
her
Who stands by my window and waits
and fears
But hides from the others her unwept
tears.

For the safe return of martial mate,
a mate gone forth where the war god

To save from sacrifice other mems
wives.

The often unthought of-the sisters,

WHEN WILL PEACE COME?
Germany's Admission of Weakness
Russia Holds Balance of Power.

Germany's Admission of Weakness
Russia Holds Balance of Power.
A thoughtful, level headed citizen
of this community says concerning
the end of the war:
81 believe the end of the war is not
far off. There are men-wise ones,
too, who thing differently, and who
predict perhaps years of the strug-
gle yet, and great sacrifice on the
part of the United States, but l am
hopeful and optimistic. We will win
out in the end, of course, but am
hopeful of termination of hostli-
ties sooner than is generally expect
ed" Asked upon what grounds he
went on to say: Germany is weak
er today than ever before, and grow
ing weaker every day. The Allies,
Germany's enemies, are stronger and
growing stronger every day. Now, in
the fourth year of the war Germany
has gained but little. The small gains
made were made in the early part of
the war, when here enemies were
nnprepared. Since preparation has
been made Germany has been held
Iown to circumscribed territory.
The destructive U-boat campaign has
brought only negligible results, and
admittedly disappointment. There
is nothing ahead on which to build a
hope. And then, there is the Russian
situation. Germany's strenuous eff
fort to quiet if not gobble up Russia
is, in itself, Indirectly at least an ad-
mission of weakness. Germany cam
not win without Russia's help or at
least her neutrality and in this is
contradiction of Germany's hereto
fore boasted strength. Germany can
not conquer the world and no one
knows this better than the Kaiser"
Another thing" he went on, "thcre
is hope of an>early peace seen in the
and character of promulgation
put forth by Premier Lloyd George
and President Wilson. The atmos-
phere is clearer, the terms on which |
peace may be made, while not max
ing concessions as departing from
previously stated positions, are clear
CT and more easily understood now
than at any time since the war be- |
gan.
Germany must conquer or sur
render. She cannot conquer and must
therefore agree upon terms of sur
render, which terms as laid down
broadly, are reasonable. equitable and
unalterable, and the German ruler
will see, or be made to see, that this
is so, if he does not see it already. l
am optimistic of an early termination
of the dreadful war"

CORN GROUND WANTED.

An informal meeting of the Agri-
cultral Council of Defence, was held
at the Court House last Tuesday. The
necessity of growing n large crop Of
corn this year brought out two press
ing needs, one, that of labor, the other
the scarcity of corn ground. One
member said that there are hundreds
of men in this county who are willing
and anxious to grow crop Of corn
this year but are unable to rent nm
acre of land. The men who own the
land suitable for corn, refuse TO rent
it, even where they have more acres
than they wish to cultivate themselves
he said.
In reply, it was said by member
present who owns large farm, that
many of these men named wouldn't
worl, the ground halfway, if they had
it. He said he had tried il several
times. He had let tenants have land
to work on the shares, furnishing the
land and teams, giving the tenant
third, but in every case they had
"slobbered over it," and raised very
poor crops, and he was discouraged
in leasing land to tenants.
In most instances of the kind, he
said, the men left the working of the
crop to the women and children, and
raised little or nothing. So, there
you are. However, there are good
faithful workers in the county who
would do their best if they could rent
land. This important matter should
receive attention and be considered by
the farmers. There are hundreds of
acres of pasture land which has run
down, producing little or no grass
worth moving, that would make from
so to 75 bushels of corn to the acre,
under proper management. At the
guaranteed price for 1918. it can be
easily figured that an acre of bluegrass
is worth many times its value as a
pasture if grown in corn. This mat
ter will be more fully considered at
the nfxt Council, when full attend
ance of the members is hoped for,

RED CROSS HAS
y MILLION
In Great Christmas Drive Mil.
lions of Names Are Added,
Enrolling Fifth of the Pop
ulatiOn of United States.

Henry p. Davidson, chairman OF
the Red Cross War Council, has wir-
ed Hon. Henry White, Manager of the
Potomac Division as follows:
THE latest reports available indi-
cate that the Christmas drive for ten
million new members for the Ameri-
can Red Cross has resulted in the ad-
dition of fully sixteen million names
to its rolls. This number added to
the more than six million members
before Christmas campaign makes the
total present enrolment fully twen-
ty-two million. This is magnifi-
cent fact. an expression not alone
OF the patriotism but of the fine sym
pathy and idealism of the whole
American people. The Red Cross
War Council congratulates and well
comes every new member of the
American Red Cross. Likewise it con-
grtulatcs the officers and old mem
bers of the organization who have
given unstintingly of their time and
efforts to make this membership cam
paign Il success. But the wonderful
achievement of enrolling one-fifth of
VIZ N''SiiS POpuie'IiOti VI llle
States as members Of the American
Red Cross is less a triumph than a
call to greater service, The Red
Cross is not merely humanitarian
organization separate and distinct
from others. but it is the mobilized
heart and spirit of the whole Amer
ican people. The American Red
Cross is carrying message of love
and sympathy to American soldiers
and sailors and to the troops and civ
ilian population of our allies in all
parts of the world 1t is seeking to
alleviate the suffering incident to the
war. 1t is seeking to shorten the war
and it is seeking to lay the founda-
tion for more enduring peace when
the war is over. AS we stand OH the
threshold of 4 new year in this hour
of worlds tragedy there can be but
one thought in the minds of the
twenty-five million members of the
American Red Cross and that is to
serve and sacrifice as never before"

These aprons and wells to be worn
only in workrooms and when on du-
ty, and never by any account to be
worn on the street or in going to the
