FOR BREAKFAST.


Griddle cakes-Sour milk, two cups;
-four, two and one-quarter cups; fat,
one tablespoon; soda, one teaspoon!
baking powder, one teaspoon; sugar,
one teaspoon; egg, one.
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Beat the egg until very light. Add to
the milk, also melted fat, and then mix
with the dry ingredients, only stirring
until we'll mixed. Drop by spoonfuls
on hot griddle.
Variations-Make just the same
way when using sweet milk, except to
omit the soda and use two teaspoons
of baking powder. Add one pint of
Berries, in season, rolled in -four, or a
cup of peaches cut fine with sugar
sprinkled over them; also bananas,
cherries or any other fruit; or baked
plain with jelly or jam between sew
eral layers. Use for dessert.
Use three-fourth corn meal and one
fourth wheat -four for corn meal pam
cakes. A tablespoon or two of sour
cream adds most to corncakes. The
prepared flour (sold in packages) with
the addition of water or milk makes
excellent griddle cakes and saves time
for busy people in this preparation
Select an aluminium or steel griddle
and keep it clean, when ready to use
heat very gradually or the cakes are
apt to stick Baking cakes on an cleo
trio grill at the table is most ideal
in small families.
Buckwheat Cakes-Buckwheat flour,
water or part milk, two quarts; COM
pressed yeast, one-half cake; salt, one
teaspoon; fat, one teaspoon; molasses.
one tablespoon; baking soda; one-half
teaspoon.
Dissolve the yeast in one-fourth cup
OF lukewarm water, pouring it into
the pitcher with two quarts of water
the same temperature. Make a smooth
batter which will run from the spoon
from the best buckwheat -four, at the
same time adding the salt. Beat we'll
and let stand over night. In the morn
ing take out pint of the mixture and
set to one side, Now put into the
pitcher the remaining ingredients
Mix lightly all together and bake on
hot griddle.
If there is any batter left after bak-
ing add the pint to it which has been
set to one side, and then right before
using pour in a pint of lukewarm
water, add salt and sufficient -four to
make the batter as previously direct

RUSS PEASANTS RISE
AGAINST LANDLORDS
(By Associated Press)

WARSAW, Monday, Dec. 16-The
manner in which the Russian peasants
in Volhynia have risen against their
landlords is shown by the experiences
of Princess Potooki, who is one of the
refugees gathered here. Her estate at
Dombrovitza was besieged for one
week by the peasants. Several Polish
peasants aided in beating off the at
tacks and a dozen or more of the
Russians were killed.
Finally, the Russians threw benzine
on the roof and set it on fire. The de-
tenders then agreed to surrender if
the women could go free.

Oar Mrs. thompson: I am twenty
five years old. I am an only child
and my parents think there is no one
in the world good enough for me. l
have always been rather popular, but
they have never liked any young man
who has paid me attention. The more
man seems to like me, the more
they have objected to him. Several
times they have been so unfriendly
that the man has given me up entirely.
For about a year l have kept COM
pany with fine young man about
three years my senior. Everyone ex-
cept my parents thinks that he is the
most attractive man I have ever
known, but as usual, my parents con-
denim him.
This man has asked me to marry
him and l have accepted because
love him. My parents threaten me
with all sorts of disaster if1 do marry
him. Do you think / would do wrong
if l married him is spite of their opin-
ion He is a man of good character
and he has a splendid position for a
man of that age.
What shall l do? EDNA.
You are old enough to rely upon
your own judgment. If you are sure
that you love the man l think you
should marry him. 1t is natural that
your parents should think there is
no one good enough for you, since you
are their only child. In time they will
become more reconciled to your mar
riage and see that you did the right
thing.

DEFIANCE, O., Dec 19.-As two
mail airplanes, flying from Cleveland

wrecked by impact with a fence. One

are unduly disturbed thereby.
The present attitude of the nation
is. Give the government every pow
err it asks for; do anything that seems
likely to help win the war; do II
promptly. cheerfully, without question
forget everything else"
But that Is no normal attitude of a
democracy. The very readiness with
which people assent TO every govern
ment proposal and their general in
clinatiOn to withhold criticism show
their sclf-cOnhdence. A mar does
not toss over the keys Of his house to
a servant without question II he en-
tertains any doubt of his ability to
remain master of the house. All this
government activity will be called to
account and reexamined in due time.

condition in which the normal mo-
tives OF trade were reversed. They
said to industry: Produce up to the
limit and We will absorb the product.
Finding markets. selling goods, cheap
ening production are all secondary
now. For the present your problem
is to turn out the greatest possible
quantity of goods regardless of cost.
We will buy all you can make, what
! ever the cost"
To put that proposition to industry
is TO change radically the problems
with which il normally deals. When
fire breaks out in a plant the motives
that ordinarily govern il are set aside.
Besides, opposition and criticism are
now pretty completely suspended.
Government management at present

Life had been sweet to that young
man.
He had hopes-of a home and family.
He had love-for a young woman,

He had ambition-to do good and

He had desires-to be at peace with

The comrade bore the l~ifeless form
to a battle-scarred tree. There he
dug a hole and buried the form, and
with it the hopes. the love, the de-

a sacrifice to the greed of a military
nation.

mound and placed a little marker
there.

services as are required to carry on
the war. The mere financing is easy
enough.
But this throws an ever-increasing
after-war burden on the nation. If
war ceased today the German govern
ment would have to find, for interest
on war debt, pensions and civil ex-
penditures, a revenue probably four
times as great as il received before
the war; and Germany was h-ayily

sacred duty is to wage war-relentless
war.
That time is now with America.
War means fighting to the death.
This war means fighting back that

death or becoming subject to the same
ruthless military nation that sacrifices
human beings to its W greed.
There is no tinsel, no gold t%rappings.

There is only one duty, one task:

rulers say that we must submit or die.
