THE ARplcATIoN.

Right in keeping with the trend os events in Europe was the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm and the renuncia- tior of the right of succession of the crown prince. It was delayed just as tong as possible for it can be realized that it was not an agreeable task, but the step was inevitable. He had been brought to the point where the action of the allied forces required 1t and t was perfectly evident that un- less the action was taken as 1t was tne demand for 1t would so increase an1ong his own people that he wojild be forced to It under conditions which would be even more distasteful.
 It is quite evident that the people of Germany are getting their eyes open as 1t was anticipated that they would and are conscious cf the fact that the house of Hohenzollern has teen responsible for their troubles an:l for their present position before tte world. That the revolttion which is taking place there is genuine is scarcely open to doubt. The people there are aroused to their own sit. ustlon; they see the necessity of not offly ending the rule of the kaiser bui tt is believed that they are deter. mined to put an end to kaiserist1i and Prusslanism with the, idea in view oi obtaining a voice such as they should have in their government.
 It apparently has required just such ain experience as they have gone through in the present war to brins them to a realization of the necessity for a change and now that It has been understood they arc losing nc time in taking advantage of the sit. uatioh which favors them. They arc seeing now that they have toieratet l;aisettsm too long. bdt having seer the light they are rnotihg with due speed to hasten it's end. though it ha. required four years of the world; worst war to bring it about

THE GOAL MUST BE REACHED.

Over the top in one day is the ob- joct of the committee in charge Of tine local campaign for the united war w6t1s ftfid Which obens today. This does not mean that it is intended that the solicitors shall confine their eff forts to today alone, for they have teen busy for nearly a week carivass- !ng the city in, anticipation of the an- nouncement of theft Accomplishments today, and with the hope that 1t will not Be necessary, because of the re- Sb8hse which has been made, to keep them up longer.
 Going over the top in one day a1- ways requires much preliminary work and this has been cheerfully done By a large body of team members and it :s to be. sincerely hoped that the goal will have been reached and passed be- fore night.
 This war work fund is for the pur- pose of giving such, aid and comfort to the fighters in Europe as they would hpt Be able to get in any other way Through the organizations to which the money will go magnificent results have been accomplished. The fact that the war is nearing it's end does not mean that further expendi- lures in this direction are not going to be required, but on the other hand 1t should be realized that it viii be a 'ong time beforc the boys are sent hott1e and in the meantime they will be in need of the same care and at tention they have been receiving.
 It. is, therefore incumbent upon the part Of each and everyone to plunge in and contribute just as much as he can afford. Help swell the fund, and certainly there can De. nothing more encouraging to this end than the fact that the actual fighting promises to end very soon and the recognition ji the fact that those for whom this fund is intended have been instru- .nentdl in bringing this situation about.

rHRlET lN WASTE FATs.

Thrift in using fats means making the least amount go the longest way. Above all, it means saving every scrap of fat that comes into the kitchen in the form of trimmings from meat and suet.
 Careful housewives have always saved these fats and prepared them for cooking. If all housewives would form this thrifty habit not only would America have no need to fear a fat shortage, but the allies could be afn ply supplied from our stores.
 In rendering fats for cooking the following things are useful to know: Grind the fat if necessary and soak it several hours in water that has one teaspoonful of salt to every quart. Drain off the water and try out the fat in the top of l double boiler over water. Then strain through a fine wire stfainer. CT cloth and store in covered vessels in a cold place,
 To deodorize fats grind and soak them in salt water (one teaspoonful of salt to every quart of water. Then to every pound of fat add one half cup of sour milk, preferably clabbered. This Will not only deodofize the fat, but clarify it also: If necessary try out the fat or heat it thoroughly in a double boiler strain and after cool ing remove the fat from the liduia. Some fats need but little clarifying. Heat thefn slowly; pit iii a few slices of potatoes and let them brown. Then strain the fat and cool.

PUNISH THE TENDS.

The announcement that a thorough investigation of the crimes committed by German authorities in Belgium and Ffance will be made and proper pun- ishment meted out to those who are guilty is only what the situation calls for and what should be expected. It is not to be supposed that they can, through the fact that they were able fof brief time to exert their author ity without restraint, disregard all rights of humanity without making themselves liable to punishment. They may have figured that it would be impossible to upset theit authority but that was a wrong assumption as the present situation goes to sfi6w and there Is no feason why they should be allowed to go scot-free.
 All of the reasons for the taking of such a course. as has been announced viii be followed. are not dependent upon conduct during the early days Of the war Of that of a year 6r six months ago. for reports are coming based upon reliable auth ority to the

 From the way in which Germany mas been handed the arrnistiee terms it can get seine idea as to how it is going to figure when it cefres to the peace arrangemehts.
 It may be all fight for the kaiser to send his jewels to Holland and his trunks t6 Switzerland. but either of those countries might regard him as an undesirable alieh.

 Of course, when hair shows an in- c1ination to grow upon the face, an oily cream would only tend to aid and abet it in it's growth and must not be applied A prepartion made from an ounce of benzoated oxide Of zine ointment and two dratns of strong spirits of camphor, gradually mingled, may prove an efffcacious substitute.
 Cold cream as a cleanser produces far better results than water, but it is always advisable to follow up a massage with dash Of cold water which will harden the muscles and stimulate the tissues, After taking the cold water treatment, pat-don ! rub-the face dry with soft towel.
 What is the difference in effect of fear or rage upon digestion in the stomach
 Upon the digestion the influence of the so called lighting efnotiof1s,' fear and rage is very great The stom- ach appears to be completely paraly zed for the time being. with regard to movement and secretion of digestive fluid This is most clearly shown with animals, such as cats, which are readily excited to fear or anger The movements of the stomach, as shown by the X-ray, immediately cease under these conditions. .z.--. Pain has the same effect. Human beings are not so susceptible to study when under the influence of violent emotions, but it is well known that gastric nausea and greatly delayed digestion may be brought about by pain, anger or anxiety.

FLOATING MINES.

The loss of the American steamship Saetia off the Delaware capes follow ing an explosion which tore a large hole in the vessel is attributed and not without good reas6n to a floating mine. Such a sinking unde- present conditions is quickly laid to ohe of two reasons. either it has been caused Ky torpedo from an enemy subn1a- rine or else it has been due to en- countering a mine. There has been ilo report of an underwater boat on this side of the Atlantic in long iime and in view of the fact that most Of such vessels have been recalled; and the present state of the nego- tiatiens between the allies and Ger riany, the possibility of one appearing off the Delaware coast is slight
 On the other hand it is known that enemy submarines during their trirs 'o this country were busily cngaged in distributing the powerful internal ma chimes which explode with disastrous results upon being hit, and it is high v probable that such was the case in this Instance.
