FOOD DEMONSTRATIONS

This afternoon Miss Mary Brady,
the county food agent, is giving a
demonstration at the home OF Mrs.
Fred Yonker at Nutterville. She is
showing the women of that locality
how to use substitutes in various
kinds of mullins.
Miss Brady will spend the remainder
of the week in the southern and west
ern parts of Marathon county, MAX
ing arrangements in different local
tiles for demonstrations to be given
later.
Next Tuesday afternoon at 2.3O
o'clock and in the evening of the same
day at eight o'clock demonstrations
will be held at the industrial school
in the old city hall building on Wash
ington street Recipes will be made
and discussed which use the substi-
tutes to the exclusion of wheat Hour.
The county agent desires large at
tendance at the two demonstrations,
and it is hoped that many will turn
out and make the day a profitable
one.
Following are a few cautions"
which should be read carefully:
All measurements should be accur-
ate. A standard measuring cup is
equal to a half pint.
The batter often looks too thick,
and sometimes too thin, but you will
find that if you have measured as
given in the table the result will be
good after baking.
Bake all substitute mixtures more
slowly and longer.
Drop biscuits are better than the
rolled biscuits, when substitutes are
used.
Pie crusts often do not roll we'll and
have to be patted on to the pan. They
do not need chilling before baking.

The fisheries of Lower California
have experienced the prosperity and
decline characteristic of every pearl
fishery known. During the first years
after the Spanish conquest these wa
tiers yielded an immense revenue to the
crown of Spain. In 1715, 1,280 ounces
of pearls were shipped to Spain, and
many of the pearls that today grace
the Spanish crown came from these
waters. According to a correspondent,
systematic planting somewhat similar
to that done in the Chesapeake bay
with the edible variety of oyster is to-
day being conducted on large scale in
the Gulf Of California, the oyster ma
turing in from four to six years.

DEATH OF GEORGE SUFFER-, SIR.

An old and well known resident
OF Marathon county passed away Fri
day morning when George Suffer, ST.,
died at his home in Athens.
The deceased was born in Baden,
Germany, April 8, 1850, and was
brought to this state in childhood by
his parents, being six years of age,
when the family settled at German
town, Wis. He grew up on the farm
home and attended the public schools.
At the age of eighteen he went to work
in the pine woods, and has been lum-
herman to a great extent. Mr.. Suffer
went to Athens thirty eight years ago,
where he lived up to the time of his
death, and was one of the leading citi-
zens of that place. He was united in
marriage with Mary Wintringer on
the sixteenth day of May, 1884, and the
widow and four children, George,
Andrew and Clarence Suffer and Mrs.
William LOnsdorf, all of Athens, ex-
cepting Andrew, who is now serving
his country somewhere in France"
In business life Mr.. Suffer was very
active in Athens. He was president
of the village for three years; mem
Der of the village board at different
times, and was at the time of his death.
He was one of the organizers of the
Athens Implement company; superin-
tendent of the Hub factory until his
health began to fail, also vice presi-
dent of this business concern.
Mr.. Suffer often visited at the coun-
ty seat and by his proverbial geniality,
he had a wide circle of friends here,
who held him in very high esteem
and the sad news of his death was
shock to all.
All business places in Athens were
closed during the time of the funeral
and the procession to the cemetery
was headed by the band, which played
a funeral march.
His funeral was. held yesterday
morning at st. ADthony's Catholic
church, Rev. Father Muehlenkamp of
floating. Burial was made in the
Catholic cemetery at Athens. Mrs
Mary Strupp, Mrs. Margaret Marson
and daughter, Miss Mary, attended the
funeral from here.

German victory would only make it
to hope that some even of this caste
will realize that they are also made
of common clay.
The Hohenzollern, the Army, the
civic officials, the landed nobility
these rule Germany, with little refer.
ence to the wishes of the people. By
connections of society, marriage, and
business, they form one group, con
sidering itself chosen by God to rule
Germany-and the world.
Is it a wonder the so-called German
Parliament is farce? Practically all
legislation comes to it from the ruling
caste, represented by the Bundesrat
And it comes usually with clear state
ment as to what changes in it will b.;
tolerated. Opposition to Government
proposals, any new proposals inconye
nient to the Government are usually
met by sneering retort from the Chan
cellor or one of his Ministers, that
makes one wonder how any man OF
real character can consent to give his
time as a member under such condi
lions.
A victorious PrusSianiSm will Ger
| tainly not fail to make the Reichstas
even more helpless than it is. Based
on the claim that the Prussian system
was the cause of it's triumph, it would
greatly increase it's efforts to make the
election of democratically minded
members an impossibility. 1t would
more frequently and more resolutely
| dictate what the Reichstag could do OF
could not do.
1t will be only after defeat that
the people themselves will develop
the courage to call for a new deal The
| democratic forces are abundant
enough and able enough now, but
| those who have come in contact with
them know how hopeless they fee
about achieving any material reforms
in a country that bristles with bayo
nets.
And finally the tax burden. Mill
tary autocraey and crushing tax &c
| together; for no state activity costs
so much and produces so little as dc
| the activities of great standing arm
| les. And triumphant Prussia vii
surely wish to increase the army, vii
claim it necessary to defend the new
territory it has seized. And under
| the circumstances poor Michel will
as ever, have no choice but to pay.
If by our efforts we can show thai
the Prussian system can be conquered
then may we expect the people Of
Germany to arise in their might anC
| wipe it out. And then will the way b.
clear for that Alliance for Peace, il
the path of which Prussia has fo'
long been the stumbling block.
But with victorious military au
tocracy, no such step toward Democ
racy can be expected. This can bt
brought about only by defeat of the
pernicious system that has so Ions
dominated Germany, and now has dis
closed its ambition to dominate The
| world.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1918-06-04

The moral and religious ideas of
the Germany of today have been
shaped to remarkable extent by two
Germans of the last generation
Friedrich Nietzsche and Hermann Won
Treitschke. To know what seed they
sowed is to understand much of the
spirit which has produced this war.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a poet who
wrote prose, much of it in the manner
of the Old Testament-but in a very
different spirit. He starts by assum-
ing that belief in God and in a fu-
ture life is as absurd for a grown man
as belief in a Santa Claus, and by re-
jecting as not merely false but dan
gerous the teachings of Christianity
based upon the Golden Rule.
What, then, is the rule by which
man should live? He answers by di-
viding man into two great classes, the
Slaves" Cor the "herd"), and the
masters. The former are the over
whelming majority of human beings
the plain people. The latter are a
select few, the highly gifted. The for
mer are born to be ruled, the latter to
rule. For the former the old Chris
tian morality of sympathy and love
may be good enough. They are of no
account anyway, and what they do or
do not do is matter of no Importance
The masters, on the other hand, are
above all ordinary standards of right
and wrong. They may commit any
cruelty, permit themselves any breach
of faith, treachery, or any other crime,
if these are needed to gain and keep
power over the herd For the
higher man" engaged in bringing his
fellowmen under the whip of his will
Everything is allowed"
The popularity of Nietzsche's doc
trines in Germany is enormous. We
can easily see how they would play
into the hands of the governing class,
each member of which can think Of
himself as by right a master" and
as such relieved of all moral obliga-
tons to the herd" beneath him. Of
late the "herd' have begun to be in
fected with them also, shaping them,
of course, so as not to interfere with
individual self-respect. Kuno Francke,
Professor of German at Harvard Uni
versity, wrote some years ago, "In
moral theory the average German of
today is consciously or not follower
of Nietzsche." And certainly Metz
sche, at the lowest calculation, has in
the course of a single generation in
fiuenced the German people as no Eng
fish writer in any century has influ-
enced the beliefs of the English
speaking world
The second prophet of modern Ger
many has very different messageI.
Nietzsche is interested only in the in
dividual, the exceptionally gifted in
dividual, of course. On the other hand
Treitschke, his rival for favor in mod
ern Germany, cares solely for the
State. The individual is under obli-
CATION to obey without question the
will Of the State. That is what he
