WASHINGTON, June. 6.--Demon.
strations In force against new portions
OF the western front arc looked for by
the war department officials now that
the German third drive has been slowed
down TO a struggle fer improvement Of
positions west and south OF Scissors
II IL regarded as entirely possible that
increased activity In front Of the Amer
ican sector northwest Of Toul may In
dicate an impending blow there
The conclusion IA based on the opinion
strongly held by some officers that the
drive was designed to draw off reserves
from the Amiens and Flanders sectors.
An attack on the American sector in
such strength as to drive the line back,
It Is argued, might hamper General
Foch In his employment OF American
units to support his lines In Picardy,
Flanders and the Aisne regions.
Foch Outgusssed the Hun.
Officers regard the fact that no new
blow has been struck at the Amiens
front as conclusive evidence that Gen
eral Foch outguessed his opponent.

Household Hints

let rise to bulk, then stir in enough
white corn meal to enable you to
form into cakes. Pat out with your
hands, lay on shelf on white pa
per to dry. Turn over next day and
every day until dry enough to break
n small pieces. Let stand one day
and night, when yeast will be ready
to use, or leave it in cakes, wrap
ping in waXed paper.
Canning and Preserving.
Relish - One quart cucumbers
chopped fine, one quart onions

let stand three hours.
Mix one teaspoon turmeric, one
teaspoon celery seed, one table
spoon mustard seed, one-quarter
cup ground mustard, One-haIf cup

sugar to each cup of juice. Boil
so minutes
When using cold pack methods
you must keep your jars covered
with water. If water boils down
add hot water from your tea ket-
tie.
Currant Jelly-A very simple way
of making jelly of currants is by
simply washing same very we'll
with stems on; add water Cthe
more water you use the more
sugar. and let boil three-quarters

The Scherning Husband.

Why is it that some husbands are
always looking forward to a sec
ond marriage? For example,
81 suffer quite a bit from neu-
ralgia pains in my head, the tend
ency to which is inherited. Re
Gently my husband brought home
some pills, which seem to relieve
the pain very nicely The label on
the box says the pills contain no
narcotic or habit forming drugs.
But on the front it says that each
pill contains two grains of ace
tanilide- 1 do not know what ace
tanilide. is, and as 1 am suffering
from valvular heart disease l
would like to know if these pills
are safe for me to take. Can you
suggest anything to relieve the
heart troubIe2 My stomach is in
good condition and have.the reg
ufar- attention of an excellent den
fist"
You see, the husbands are all
alike.
This wife has vafyu1ar heart
trouble. which will not necessarily
incapa citate her or shorten life,
,but her husband evidently has his
doubts and SO he goes down to the
drug store and says, Hello, George,
what you got good for a run down
condition? And George shifts his
cigar to the other corner, of his
mouth, runs his eye oVer<the bar
gain counter, and replies, here's
something l can highly recon-
mend. because we've used it in our
family Dollar a box. thank you,
come again. Mr.. Husband hasn't
asked George outright for poison,
you understand, he has relied up
on Georges sympathy for that.
The poison is there, two grains per
tablet, and nothing said about it
between friends
Wives, let me give you a tip.
No smatter how much your sever
al husbands pretend to love you
and labor and sweat and live and
die for you if necessary, always be
suspicious when they fetch home
anything with a label that says:
Contains no opium, morphine,
heroin, chlorofOrm, Paris green,
prussicr acid or 'whiskey" That is
camOuflage, and it conceals some
thing. 1t is like the doctor, or ten
fist who sneaks up on you with a
pleasant smile and says: Don't
be afraid, I'm not going to hurt
you" You know thatsis always a
lie, or nearly always.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
Of Is. Last summer / met an aw-
fully nice soldier boy. We went
out together and he was very re-
spectacle. Soon after ! met him he
had to leave for camp and before he
LEFT he asked me to wait for him
until he returned. / left him at
the depot the next morning. That
was in August. He kept on writing
until sometime in October and then
| didn't hear from him until a few
days before Thanksgiving and he
said that / should pardon him for
not writing as he didn't have any
time at all and he wouldn't have
time then only he was in hospital
with a sprained ankle.
/ have never heard from him
since. l always found out where
he was and wrote to him. He sailed
for France about six months ago
and 1 wrote to him until just last
month, although did not hear from
him.
Do you thinkI did wrong in writ
ing to him and do you think he is
glad to receive my letters?
/ love this boy with. all my heart
and thought he loved me by his ac-
tons too, because he pleased me
whenever he could. It will break
my heart if lose him forever. My
friends say that he has some nice
little French girl over there. Do
you think that is true? PEGGY.
The boy was undoubtedly busy,
but not too busy toesend you note
occasionally. When you found he
did not write at all you should have
stopped, and given him a chance to
be anxious to hear from you. He
probably enjoyed your letters, but

He felt more and more uneasy
as time drifted on. He noted that
Hotty was not as light spirited as
had been her wont. and he realized
that his neighbOrs did not go out Of
