the duchies of Schleswig and Halstein
This was long step taken towards
the German unity.
In the wake of this struggle followed
the Franco Prussian war, lS70-7l, which
resulted in the complete unification OF
Germany and the annexation of the COW
eted mining districts of Alsace and Lor-
raine from France. The German people
have made rapid strides in their indus
trial development since 1871 and through
economic causes, greatly enhanced the
prestige of the military classes, who take
the credit for it.
The kaiser is to-day demonstrating
the same cruel warfare that Frederick
the Great utilized many years ago and
the same savage and barbarous prac-
tees as characterized all the early Ger
man rulers, to bring about the satisfac
ton OF their own aims, and his greed
for territory will not allow him to quit
until he finds his man power and food
supply so depleted that he can no longer
hold the armies of the allies at bay and
he himself brought to realize this state
of affairs, then will he be found with
the poison on his person to place him
self along with the former military lead
ers, Alexander and Napoleon, who have
dimly seen the star of a world empire
90 down, never more to rise.

saponin, q Food Adulteration.

Saponin is a word coined as the
name of a substance extracted from
plants known as soapbark and soap
root, and few other plants, by boil
ing them In wnter. The word Is de-
rived from the Latin word sapo, soap.
Saponin possesses the quality when
dissolved In water Of foaming like
soap, and while it has no nutri&ous or
edible quality, IT has come into extern
sive use as substitute for the white
Of eggs by producing foam and thus
giving some preparations fraudulent
appearance Of body and therefore OF
food value. Administrators of the
pure food act have declared that 1t
must not be used In good products, and
while not poisonous or hurtful. 1t IS
held as an adulteration under the pure
food law.

and You will see the tremendous saving
er of the nation.
But to some it may seem an enigma to
save even these two teaspoonfus of but
ter day.
! 1t is better to save this amount by
substituting other fats in cooking rather
than by economizing on the butter used
on the table. While an adult may suffer
no injury from the latter economy, but
ter should be given freely to children at
the table. They require the peculiar fat
| substance it contains for their growth
and health. Hundreds of children abroad,
especially in Poland on diet which
/ did not include proper substitutes, have
died or become permanently stunted in
growth because they have had to do
without butter fats for an extended pc
riod of time
We must do our best to save the rest
of these children from similar fate by
exporting butter to these countries in
larger quantities than ever before. The
allies are asking for three times as much
as they did at the beginning of the war.
We can supply them this, if no butter
is used in cooking throughout the coun-
try. Already chefs and cooks in hotels
and public institutions are eliminating it
from their dishes, and the up-to-date
housewife is now discovering that butter
is quite unnecessary in cooking.
If YOU have been in the habit of put
ting generous lump of butter into
dish now and then 'iust to make it
tasty" forego this habit now.
Never serve more than one fried dish
a week
Always substitute chicken fat, or vege-
table oils for butter in cooking.
Make as little pastry as possible and
all your pies with only one crust.
Never put both gravy and butter on
your potato.
Use peanut butter, iellies. cheese and
fruit buffers on bread for adults instead
of butter.
Do this much for the sake of saving
hundreds of little children from death,
or worse,--a life of stunted growth and
ill health.
The following is BUTTERFLIES recipe foi

-four and takes no sugar:
Devils Food Cake, Rye Flour-One-
fourth cup vegetable fat, one cup mo-
Iasses, OHe-IourtH teaspoon roud, three
tablespoons milk, two egg yolks, two
squares chocolate, one and one-sixth cups
rye flour, two and half teaspoons
baking powder, one fourth teaspoon salt,
.wo egg whites. three-fourths teaspoon
,anilla Melt the fat and add it to the
nolasses and soda. Add the milk, the
veil beaten yolks and the melted choco

nd the salt together, and add them grad
lallv to the mixture. When thoroughly
mixed fold in the stifily beaten whites
nd add the vanilla. Pour the cake into

Cautious.

A lawyer happened to be acquainted
with a juror in petty civil case. and
he met him during recess Of the court.
The lawyer was just lighting up" and
under ordinary circumstances he would
have offered the other cigar unhesi-
tatingly. but 1t occurred to him that 1t
might not look right.
Il suppose" he said guardedly. that
a cigar would not influence your YER
dicty"
The juror was equally cautious.
"A good one wouldn't" he replied,
"but poor one might prejudice me-"
He got a good cigar.-Brooklyn Eagle.

dence that she had said she loved him
and had promised to be his wife she
would not break the pledge, but would
| fulfill 1t by marrying him.
A considerable time elapsed between
! the sending Of this letter and the re-
ply. The delay meant to Miss Cher
borough that either Mr.. Fleetwood had
no such letters, or that he did not
want to marry her. But II the game
was worth the playing 1t meant that
the plaintiff was trying to win the
defendant
Finally the attorneys wrote that II
Miss Cherborough would call at their
offices ut an appointed time Mr.. Fleet
wood would convince her of the JUS
tice Of his cause. Miss Cherborough
made instant reply to this that If the
client had anything to show her, she
would be at home to him for any date
within two days. After that she would
have nothing to do in the matter.
Within an hour of the receipt Of this
letter Mr.. Fleetwood called on Miss
Cherborough. She received him with
reserve.
'Have you brought the letters?" she
asked,
II have not line from you"
'Then what have you to say for
yourself in this mad ventureT'
'That / love you as mady as the
venture was mad
THAT'S the way wish to be loved"
The engagement was surprise to
the social world.

Never Rock While Reading.

A well known oculist declares that
women injure their eyes, sometimes Sc
riously, by swinging back and forth in
a rocking chair while reading. Thi.
practice is especially injurious when one
is reading by artificial light, or by day
light, when the sway of the rocker makes
pages.
Rigidly as one may think ones book
is held, there is bound to be a little un-
steadiness of the page as the chair goes
forward and back, and the eyes must ad-
just themselves rapidly to the changing
focus.
Everyone knows the danger of reading
in fast moving railroad train, but
reading in a fast-moving rocking chair
is quite as bad, says the Irish World.
Women who use low rocker for sewing
seldom sway back and forth much when
an important bit of work is in hand.
The chair stops and interest is con-
centrated on the problem of stitching or
but many a woman will read
and rock, rock and read. through a whole
evening, and perhaps every time her
chair comes forward the shadow of the
fringe is cast across the page
of her book-this in addition to the con-
tinual change of focus made necessary
for long-sufiering eyes.
A rocking chair is not really restful
and most women rock from nervous
habit, the more nervous they are the
faster they rock.
Man really rests and relaXes when he
sits himself down in deep, rockerless
armchair. Who ever saw man rock
ng violently and smoking a cigar at the
iame timeg
The woman who can sit perfectly
till with folded hands while she rests
md spends an hour reading without
Ocking or swinging one foot with knees
rossed will benefit in nerves and in eyes /,
rom the resting or the reading; she !
Who rocks and reads viii certainly feel 4
yestrain from the practice sooner y
alter.

Our Daily Sacrifice of Butter.

One sun ray is not very powerful. But
by using glasses that concentrated the
run raw. Alchimedes was able to set FIRE
to the Roman ships during the siege Of
Syracuse.
So what food one woman can save in
her home may not seem much, but the
saving effected by the concentrated WON
an power Of the country i tremendous.
To save daily one-third Of an ounce, or
two level teaspoonfuls of butter for
everyone in your family may seem too
ininitesimal an economy 10 bother with,
for instance. But multiply this saving
BY the 30.Oo0OO0 kitchens IN the country.

BUILD UP YOUR
NERVE POWER
Nervous Debility and Neurasthenia Mean
Loss of Efficiency in Home, Of
fee or Workshop.

| In these war times many people are
| living in an unnatural condition of nerv-
| GUS excitement. Unless something is done
! to correct it, the inevitable result will
! be nervous breakdown, an exhaustion
! of nervous energy that may take very
serious and unforeseen turn.
There is no tonic for the nerves that is
not tonic for every other part OF the
body. There is no form of debility that
does not rob the nerves of nourishment.
The remedy therefore for nervous break

EATING HOUSES
TO BE LICENSED
Administration Also Would
Limit Sweet Drinks
and Candy

Washington, Jan. 30.-Extension o.
provisions of the Lever act to incud,
control of the distribution, manufactur,
and preservation of foodstuffs is advo
Gated by Food Administrator Hoover il
letter to Representative Anderson OF
the House agricultural committee, made
public yesterday. Mr. Hoover's idea OF
legislation necessary to effect the food
saving essential to the proper ration OF
the allies is given to reply to proposals
contained in draft of food bill sub
mtted recently by Mr.. Anderson to the
food administrator. The extension of
| the measures of the Lever act, Mr..
Hoover says, should include:
Control of distribution in order that
all classes and localities may fare alike
and that unnecessary consumption shall
be prevented.
Control of use of foodstuffs by food
manufacturers, with view to limiting
the less essential manufactures.
Control of commodities critically neces-
sary for the production and preservation
of foodstuffs in order to prevent great
losses of military sacrifices.
In addition to increasing the number
of wheatless and meatless days and re-
ducing the per cent of wheat in flour,
steps virtually taken already by the
food administration, Mr.. Anderson's bill
proposed licensing of public eating places
and the limiting of food served in them.
In this connection Mr.. Hoover said
"While it is vitality necessary to regu
late the consumption of food in public
eating places, they consume on various
estimates from II to 90 per cent of the
total foodstuffs. If they were reduced
out of all reason, they would not solve
the problem. 1t appears to me that we
should attack the nonessential uses of
foodstuffs, and that we should attack the
points of unnecessary consumption of
foodstuffs. By these means we can place
the burden where it belongs--on the
luxurious and greedy, and not upon the
poor This implies some further meas
ures OF control in distribution and in
use"
Mr.. Hoover cited a number of typical |
cases, including sugar, and suggested |
that saving to meet the shortage of |
ten per cent could be effected easily by |
a reduction in the manufacture of candy |
and sweet drinks, with manufacturers |
other things to maintain
their volume Of business.
I'VE have carried on an extensive |
for voluntary conservation"
he said. This has brought beneficial
results in many directions, but the mi
nority who will not follow prejudice the
patriotic and discourage and undermine
the efforts of those who save. The de-
mands, as they have developed during
The last sixty days, are, believe, great
sr than can be borne on a purely voun-
AIRY basis. | am perfectly willing 10
70 on with the voluntary method, and |
nope it will succeed, but think it only
light to point out that if it shall fail
he grave responsibility cannot be left
lpon my shoulders, if Congress should
consider that nothing further is neces-
AIRY by way of legislation. II

Boston, Jan. 30,-Many hotel and res
taurant workers and domestic kitchen
employees were released from their du-
ties yesterday at the request of the food
administration to attend meeting on
food conservation. Henry B. Endicott.

The Earth and Man comp.rsd.

If 1t were possible for q man to con,

less than twice the height of the
Washington monument-and to place
upon any portion of its surface an
atom one four thousand three hundred
and eightieth OF an inch IN diameter
and one one hundred and twentieth Of

denote the proportions man bears to
the gigantic globe upon which he
