 Since last Sunday the Germans have left the Americans in comparative peace on their sector near Foul. Prob ably finding that their attempted forays were too costly, they have failed to launch further attacks, and even have cut down materially their arti- cry fire and gas shell bombardments. Near Warneton, southeast of Ypres, the Australians have carried out big raid against enemy positions, killing at least 50 of the German defenders, destroying dugouts, and bringing back prisoners. Around Lens the Germans have begun a rather intensive bonn bardment against the British troops besieging the great coal center.
 Attempted attacks by the Germans north of the Chemnin des Danes, near the Malincourt wood, and in Lorraine, went for naught, owing to the accur- acv of the French fire.
 In Palestine General Allenby's for ces have dealt the Turks a hard blow, driving forward their front along 12 miles to maximum depth of 5000 yards. Little opposition was encount, cred by the British commander against the Ottomans, whose morale seems to be deteriorating with each fresh at- tack

vAPoR BATHS IN LAPLAND

In Wide World Frank Hedges But
Ter describes a vapor bath in the land
Of the Lapps. He says:
The bathhouse is a small wooden
structure generally situated some way
from the dwelling house. 1t is divided
into two compartments, one to undress
in, while the other contains the oven
which produces the steam. The oven
is arched with large stones or pebbles.
and heated by fire placed beneath.
Undressing in the first room, one en-
tiers the heated compartment After a
short rest on wooden form or bench,
which contains place for the head,
the attendants come in and battle you.
Cold water Is thrown over the stones
and the kissing vapor soon sends up
cloud of steam. The higher you sit
from the floor the greater the heat. AS
more water is thrown over the red-hot
stones the vapor becomes so intense
that one can hardly breathe. We were
soon gasping for breath and covered
with profuse Precipitation which is
sued from every pore of the skin.
Hanging up in the room were tender
branches or twigs In green state and
retaining their leaves. Dipping these
in water, the attendant began flashing
and whipping me across the legs,
shoulders, loins and back, till my body
seemed quite red with the switching.

A letter came to Mr.. Hoover the other

town. She thanks him for the unseltish-

them with the Germans, who she is "iolly

them to look after any land but itself,
unless they wanted something in return"

To plan kitchen successfully one
must consider carefully the scientific
arrangement thereof. After the loca.
ton of the stove has been decided
upon, the sink must be placed. This
necessitates consultation with the
plumber, as well as with the architect,
since its position is largely dependent
upon the location of the water pipes
and upon the drainage.
A generous space should be allotted
to the sink; also, 1t should be suffi-
GENTLY large to permit two persons to
work comfortably there. 1t must be
well lighted by ample windows placed
above it; If these are double-hung
sash windows, one may have the maxi.
mum of fresh air, even in extremely
cold weather, with no discomfort
while washing dishes or otherwise
working at the sink.

Little Known Of Shooting Stars.

Our knowledge of shooting stars ex-
tends into the oldest history of human
ity, back into prehistoric times. Yet
today no one knows exactly what a
shooting star is, or from where It
comes. An hypothesis proposed In 1875
and generally accepted today, is that
meteorltes are fragments broken from
small planetary masses by volcanic ex-
plosions, brought about by sudden ex-
pansion Of gasses, steam and probably
hydrogen. The broken bits, after their
separation, are believed to arrange
themselves In swarms which cross the
orbit Of the earth In accordance with
definite law. Shooting stars, then, IN
doubtedly come from within our solar
system and are broken bks of world
body destroyed by volcanic events.
Many meteorites have ybeen found in

SUGAR DRIVE ON.

One of the most important and
patriotic things which can be done
right now is to SAVE SUGAR.
We must release some of the
ships formerly used in the sugar
trade to carry our soldiers and sup
plies to Europe.
We must make up the loss of
the beet sugar lands and factories
captured or destroyed by the Ger
mans in northern France and Italy.
Ships which would have kept up
the flow of sugar have been sunk.
Twenty-six thousand tons of sug-
ar were lost recently in submarine
raids upon our Atlantic coast.
Fifty thousand tons of sugar.
carrying shipping were transferred
to meet the requirements of Bel
gian relief.
AS a few practical suggestions
use honey, syrups, sorghum, mo-
lasses, instead of sugar. Use dried
fruits as a source of sugar. Eat
plenty Of fresh fruit and you will
desire less sugar.
We may have monthly allow
ance of two pounds of sugar per
capita and there is besides this
limited amount for canning, to be
distributed in accordance with reg
ulations by the federal food ad-
ministrator Of your state.
Surplus fruits and vegetables
should be preserved in some man
ner, and canning, drying, fermen-
tation processes are all to be en-
couraged. Fruit may be canned
without sugar. Fruit juices may
be bottled and saved for ielly-
making until sugar is more plen-
tiful, Other sweeteners besides
sugar may be used successfully in
canning, jelly and jam making.
Meat Situation.
Be very sparing in the use of
beef. There is sufficient amount
of pork to permit its use as
means for relieving the pressure
on beef. Mutton and lamb may be
used. Parts of beef and pork
which cannot be shipped heart,
tongue, liver, sweetbreads, brains,
sausage-may be used freely.
