But thrift today is something worth getting

How thrifty you?

And soak the soles, per instructions, and ham,

A King For Us?

German war lords are making kings for sub
dued portions of what was Russia. They are
polishing up crowns carving seepters and hand
pressing royal robes for divers German princes
to wear on somewhat riekety thrones German
armies are erecting in Poland, Lithuania and
Finland. just how long these Made in Germany"
kings will last depends upon the fighting now
being done on the West front and what our
100000 will do there next spring and summer
This business of making puppet kings, laying
out frontiers for other countries and building
thrones with controlling wires leading to Potsdam
has long been the aircastle which impelled the
Hohenzolerns to make Huns out Of their German
subjects.
If America had not gotten into the war when
she did and as wholeheartedly as she did, it is
very likely that Wilhelm now would be making
kings for Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro, and would
be grooming his sons for the thrones of Great
Britain, France and the United States. And if
we are defeated, should Germany overwhelm
America, Britain and France she has con-
quered Poland, Lithuania and Finland, you and all
Of US would learn what Made in Germany
king is like.
The only way in which can dodge a King
Fritz is to fight the Huns now "over there and
in our fields. factories mills railroads. mines
and in homes.

bread continues light and appetzing and generally

How do they do it. that's what we want to

We would have backed our wife against any

those happy prehistoric days before "de wah, but
by golly, sah de ole woman sure is plumb disgust

The good wife has tried barley flour, and rice
flour, and rye flour, and all and combinations
OF these and other flours; and she has tried them

ed pototoes and ,tried to make muffins she has
tried bread of nine different formulas she has tried
doughnuts-dough nuts was right-says she has
tried gingerbread and raisin cake and currant cook
fat and charitable upon, and everything has been
vile.
The messes soggy; they are damp in the
center; they either damp. or so durn dry that
they crumble before you can get them out of the
pan.
The flavor isn't there; the smell isn't there, and
contend that the odor of good cookery will be
one of the chief delights OF a well-provisioned
heaven.
But some bakers continue to hand out milk
losyes that appear white, that heft as light that

you fed wheat to chickens and you received a big
