The diet of green vegetables for the improvement of the complexion isn't new idea. The ladies of col of Spring greens from the mom- ent the first dandelion or dock ap- peared above the ground.
 The vegetarian has a better com plexion than the average person, due to the fact that vegetables contain the elements that go to make clear, velvety skin. The skin specialist will advise the beauty seeker to "elimiin- ate rich, highly seasoned foods, fat meats and pastries from the diet'' to remedy complexion ills.
 Since new beauty is to be found in a diet of green vegetables why not make them the major portion of our food, particularly at this time when meats, cereals and sugar are needed to help win the war?
 You may think that you can't en- joy a meal that doesn't contain meat or desert, but after a few weeks on 8 wholesome vegetable diet you will wonder that you were ever fond of meat at every meal and spice-laden foods.
 Spring Greens Valuable
 Green vegetables act as a tonic to thes ystem. Nothing so quickly dispels that feeling of languor and 1aziness, commonly called spring fever" as a diet of sa&ds and fresh vegetables.
 If your skin is greasy and saIlow, coarse of texture and altogether un- ettractive-looking eat vegetables eat them cooked and uncooked.
 Spinach is invaluable, and once a day isn't too often to have it. This green contains natural elements most wholesome to the system. A lit- tie vinegar poured over the vegeta- ble will make it more palatable.

Fold lace up and roll into a tight roH, tie through the middle, now dip the side to be sewed to doiley or cen terpice into boiling water. Do not dip in beyond the string. Wiring out the water, unite the string and let doiley dry. You will find the side shrunken so as to make it quite-easy to fit lace around it.

GARDEN APRON

The best garden apron is of strong canvas with deep pockets like a shoe bag for gloves, trowe1, twine and shears. The apron should not be too long, else it will get under the knees as one works on the kneeling pad before the garden beds. Unbleached canvas with bindings and strappings of red plaid ginham makes an attract i've apron.

ANGLING FOR RICH CUSTOMERS

Tn the May Woman's Home Com panion, Corinne Lowe tells of the wiles used by a Fifth Avenue mi1liner in making the Fern Piper" hat fam ous:
 '"Those for whom the spider spread it's web were now the wealthy and un- fashionable women of New York, the wealthy and prompt customers from the Middle West. These are the peo- ple who make money for every Fifth Avenue specially shop. And the only difficulty which now lay in our path was that this profitable custom all ways has to be secured through re- putation for serving the most fash ionable members of New York society, those notorious fashionables who are so sensitive to a second bill and who never think of paying their first one until at least six months have elaps- ed. 0
 At first we did not have a single member of this sorority. What we did was to fake them. This we achieved by several ingenious meth ods. One of these was to pay ten dollars a week to each of the chauf- feurs of Mrs. Philip Rhinestewart and of Mrs. Clinton De Sale Rives for driving their crested linousines up before our doors when these same fashionable employers were oth- erwise engaged. The empty limou- sines were extremely efficacious, and it was not long before the women who were trying to get into fashionable society were impressed. One by one they came to us.
 Meanwhile, we were also paying the clerks of two of the smartest o1 New York's hotels to recommend Fern Piper to their rich out-of-towr patrons"

There are 30,OO0,OOO bushels of po- tatoes on their way into this section, coming from Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and some from New York state and Maine. This large cargo was delayed because of the impossi- bility of getting carriers and because of the severity of the past winter.

Important War News

The potentially best war news we could have came on Saturday night from Washington. But tn. importance of it depends upon the accuracy of it It related to the probability of Russian break with Germany, one which would cut Germany off iron, supplies of men and means. We are accustomed to speak loosely of Russia "out of the war" On the contrary, Russia is and will continue one of the mightiest factors in the war When the debace oc- cured 1t bad politics regard the catastrophe as something past and that could not be helped How ever hopeless the seemed there was still some hope. It could not of course be reezed by friendly addresses 10 the Russian people; not by what call a campaign of education TLat would require one or more generations. It was hare -brained dream that the masses of the Russian people could be brought together against Germany. Equally crazy was the talk of Russian republic a Russian democracy
 There only thing to do, to seize upon one of the great Russian elements and make it the nucleus for an anti-German movement which should engage the attention of Germany and Austria.
 The first apparent effort in that direction was the proposal for an entente intervention in Eastern bera. The allies and especially America hesitated evidently in fear of the effect of it upon the Russian nation; that it would drive more quickly into the arms of Germany. There also a suspicion of the real purpose of Japan which necessarily must have been the chief factor in any intervention.
 We made the mistake then of regarding Russia as nation. a people with united or senti- mental interest in the fate of their country. The various elements cared only for their various districts the things which immediately touched them.
 Now the case is more desperate and now the allies are united in favor of Russian movement but Japan is hesitant We believe though, that it will ultimately be undertaken and that if prosecuted vigorously and skillfully, it will succeed
 The danger to us from Russia lies in this; that the Germans with their power of organization may in the course of two three years mould that country entirely to tho German will; that they will not only make it of unlimited supplies but that out of the millions ending stream of reserves will flow against the allied front which numerically would surpass own.
 So. the news that there is final and definite break by considerable number of Russian elements with Germany would be far important bit of news than that of the landing of a million or more American soldiers in France or news of an allied victory on the western front that had deprived the Germans of all they had gained since March 21.

SAY BEETHOVEN WAS
 BELGIAN, NOT A HUN
GOndOn POst.)

In the efforts to get Wagner back on the musical programs in places where German compositions have been barred for the period of the war, he is repre- sented as having hated Prussianism as much as we do. A resident of Dresden. Saxony, he was among the revolutionists of 1S49 that Prussian troops helped to put down. He fled to escape arrest, going to Paris and later to Zurich. He did not return to his native land until in 1862. His great mistake was that he did not come to America with Carl Schurz, Franz Sigel and some others.
 But is there no anti-Prussian rec ord to be fixed up for Beethoven. AL though born in Bonn. Prussia, he was, according to the encyclopedias, of Bel gian descent. His family is traced to a village near Louvain. At any rate, he left Prussia at the age of 22 and spent the remainder of his life in Vii enna.
 Recognizing these distinctions, how ever, would only lead to an endless other German composers on the pro- grams and cause what was intended as a dignified check to paying homage to things Teutonic look ridiculous. It is to be borne in mind also that we are fighting a vast number of people of other parts of Germany as well as those of Prussia. Not all the savagery is traceable to the Prussians
 Besides, America has music enough of it's own to tide it over the war.

The Austrian Drive

As long nobody but the Austrians take part in the Austrian offensive need not be greatly alarmed The fighting the Italian front for three years suited in nothing more than series of those inde- cisive results known "dog falls" Both the Italians and the Austrians seemed incapable of accomplishing more than expenditure of powder and some waste of human life. That front attracted comparatively little interest among the allies until last October when the Germans by the small admxure three divisions threatened 10 break through upon the Venetian pain and then the Italian front to be recognized essential part of the front nearly essen- tial any part of the front below Reims
 British and French troops were sent to the as- sisance of the Italians and have in maintaining the line. That part of the line now is under the direction of General Foch the same any other part of the western front
 Since the push of October ending early in Novem. Der it appears that the Germans have left the Aus trans the Italian front to their devices. The German divisions which had been withdrawn from Russia though four of them were not employed in the Italian drive but held in sent elsewhere presumably to Flanders.
 It is stated that the Austrians are aided by Bosnian troops, and perhaps Bulgarians. Enough of the latter would serious situation but the Bulgarans probably pretty well occupied the Saloniki front that the Austrians are not likely to much assistance from it's allies at this time. We may. therefore, view the situation there without apprehension until shall hear that leav- ening force has been sent there. This has grown big that have ceased to be greatly interested in the dog fall"
 It would take rank with league baseball in this country and that is being gradually submerged.

CHATEAU
 |S TOSSED TOWARDS
 POLITICAL CIRCLE

The roster of the democratic candi- dates for nomination for governor was yesterday measurably heightened by the tossing by Senator Sutter of Co., chise. of chapeau into the ring. The senator though not making a formal announcement and though he will not make one until his return home, yes- terday authorized the statement that he would be a candidate.
 Early last spring it was given out that Senator Sutter would enter the race but later he decided not to do so. He felt that he could not afford to | abandon his legal practice which amounts to many times the salary of | the governor But since his attack upon that feature of the governors message relating to the Bisbee depor- tations he had received telegrams and letters from different parts of the state urging his candidacy. It is in response to these that he has decided to become a candidate
 Senator Winsor Also Mentioned A demand has also been made upon Senator Winsor of Yuma to enter the contest and it Is believed that his can didacy will be shortly announced. The governor himself has taken no hand in the affair. It is commonly believed that his sympathies are with Senator Colter but he has uttered no word that has reached the public regarding his preference.
 The Winsor movement however has the backing of many democrats of the governors wing, such as Homer Wood and Leroy Ladd, who it is said desired either Mir. Winsor or Senator Roberts The candidacy of either it was alsu said, was to be conditioned upon the withdrawal of Senator Colter whose campaign has been more extensively conducted than that of any other can uidate. Mir. Colter it was announced yesterday, had firmly and rather un- gently declined to sacrifice himself
 Wnsor Not Vet Decided
 On Saturday night it was stated by democrats believed to be on the inside that MT. Winsor would be a candidate but the senator declared yesterday that he had reached no such a decision. He said that he would enter the contes, only by conscription in any event, and that he would not allow himself to be conscribed unless there was further clarification of the situation. That is interpreted to mean that he will in no circumstances be a dandidate unless Senator Colter withdraws
 There was a revival yesterday of the rumor that Governor Hunt would be forced into the field, notwithstanding nearly all who have talked with the governor have declared that he coulc not in any circumstances be induced tc become a candidate but that he stood ready to support any democrat who might be nominated. It was further said in support of the new rumor that the Hunt movement will be begun by several members of the legislature or .heir return to their homes
 Daily developments in the contes are expected, each to be little nor, sensational than the preceding one The only certain thing, though, is tha the struggle is going to be an exceed ingly warm one
