Penny Pinching Not
Always True Economy

| have learned that the intelligent
housewife-th woman schooled in really scien-
thc domestic economy-no longer throws away a nickel to
save a penny.
A good way to illustrate this point
would be through comparison of baking
powders.
Experience has taught me-and mill
ions of other women that it doesn't pay to buy
cheap baking powders. They cost a few cents less, but in the
long run they are decidedly the most expensive. Because of
the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they
cause many bake day failures and great loss of expensive
ingredients. The housewife throws out, in wasted materials
many times the amount saved on the cost of the baking pow
der. This is not economy, but extravaganza.
True economy in baking powder
demands the highest quality at the lowest price.
Only baking powders that meet these demands should be
used. Only baking powder that is made of the highes. class
ingredients SO perfectly proporioned that 1T not only produces
maximum leayening power but also preserves it.
Besides, the baking powder that
meets the modern demand for economy should
be economical in useful strength-economical in cost
secured at a moderate price. The housewife should be able
to effect a saving when buying-and another saving when
using-and she should save materials it is used with.
That is economy in it's highest form.
Complete economy. The only kind of econ
omy the housewife should attempt.

Narrowing Details. of
 Destruction of German
 Submarine Are Related

London, June 1S.-Harrowing details or the destruction of one of the largest and more recently constructed German submarines are given in a dispatch from a neutral correspondent This subma- rine was one of the last to leave Zee brugge before the entrance to the har- bor was blocked by British forces on April 24.
 The U-boat struck a mine and out oi the crew of 40 only two survived or reaching the surface after a terrible struggle with death for an hour and a half 20 fathoms below the surface. Some of the crew committed suicide, having lost all hope of leaving the boat alive.
 The only chance of escaping was tc force open the coming tower and the forward hatch and to trust to the com. pression of air in one part of the yes seI to force each man like a torpedo to the surface The air pressure in the submarine had become so high that the great majority of the Germans coule not keep their mouths closed.
 The compressed air shot them to the surface. and hardly had they reached the sea level when the air pressure burst their lungs and about 20 of them san like stones. The survivors described the yelIs of the men, when the end came as the most horrible noise they had evei heard.
 The attention of a British trawler was attracted and it hastened to the rescue The condition of the survivors showed that their experiences in the submarine had been of d dreadful character.

Many Ships Sent Down
 by U-Boats Are Salvaged

London. June 1s.-From January, 1915, to the end of May, 1918. 4o7 ships sunk by the Germans in British waters have been salvaged. according to de- tails of the admiralty salvage depart ment. made public today
 Up to December. 1911 2s0 ships were recovered. In the present year to the end of May, 147 have been salvaged, the increase being due to improved methods, and not to the greater ac- tfvity of U-boats.
 Among the difficulties experienced has been the emitting of poisonous gases from the rottening cargoes from sunken ships, which sometimes have caused the loss of lives One salvage ship was torpedoed while working on a wreck, while sometimes the work of weeks is destroyed by the rough sea. Feats performed by the salvage de- partment include the raising of large collier sunk in F fathoms of water and involving a deadlift of $500 tons.
 Another vessel was raised 15 fathoms by the use of compressed air.

to avoid suspicion of any kind Dia2 swallowed a medicine purposely with in
 tent to bring on a fever. When the fever came he summoned the hotel proprietel and asked him to find a physician who
 would be able to bring him around. He
 spoke the peon's dialect and fre was q
 perfect actor of the part so that the
 hotel keeper was completely duped. He
 thereupon summoned the physician Diaz
 wanted because that physician lived
 within ster or two of the hotel When
 the physician entered the room where
 Diaz lay moaning with fever he did not
 recognize his old friend. At last when
 the opportunity was good Diaz revealed
 himself to his physician who was won-
 derstruck at the discovery that Felix
 Diaz was again in Mexico in the disguise
 of a peon.
 SUMMONING HIS FOLLOWERS
 By the aid of this physician the se-
 cret members of the Diaz party were in-
 formed of his presence and were told t.
 make their way as rapidly as possible
 to Vera Cruz. This many of them did.
 Diaz himself procured in some way an
 expensive, high power automobile and
 still maintaining his disguise as a peon,
 he started through Mexico City in q
 southerly direction driving the car him self. Some miles out of Mexico City he was halted by a group of Caranza sol diers who asked him how it happened
 that a peon was driving an expensive high power car. To that question Diaz answered, '.I stole it. Why not? Every thing in Mexico now belongs to people But she soldiers replied in return thai they wanted that automobile and woulu take it, but would give him in place ol
 it very poor car, which they possessei With To foy1 ho SapfpC to the exchange and proceeded on his way southerly. Some miles further or he met hcdy of cavalry who constituted a part of Caranza's army. The comman- der of the cavalry held him up, asking as had been asked before, what he a peon was doing with an automobile In reply Diaz again said that he stole it and fell that he had a right to do that, because everything in Mexico now belonged t
 the people.
 But the commander of the cavalry said that he wanted that automobile and was
 going to take it. Diaz expostulated, oiii
 at last agreed to let the commander have
 the anutomobile provided he received II return one of the horses To this the commander agreed, and Felix Diaz, dis guised as peon. mounted the horse anu proceeded southerly. Gradually he mad; his way toward the state of Vera Cruz where he at last met his followers at 2 rendezvous which had been agreed upon This is the way which Felix Diaz entered Mexico remained in Mexico City severa days, at one time meeting Caranza, wht did not recognize him. and at last wa' abel to reach the rendezvous in Vera Cruz where he met his army which i' now strong enough to hold four Mexi can states.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS RISK LIVES IN FIGHT
 ON TRENCH FEVER
Report From Pershing Tells How Volunteers Brayed Ills of Disease-Body
 Lice Cause

Washington, June 1S.-Through tests conducted upon 66 volunteers from American hospital and ambulance organ izations in France, medical authorities have been able to determine that trench fever, one of the most baffling diseases affecting troops on the western front, is spread by germs carried by body lice.
 The details of the test and the story of the bravery of the American volun- teers, who, officials said, equals that of the American soldiers who risked their lives in order that the mystery of vel low fever might be solved, is told in a report received from General Pershing and made public tonight by the war department.
 As in the case of yellow fever, no ami ma1s susceptible to the disease could be found, and it was necessary to call for volunteers. In January the volunteers were sent to a hospital behind the Brit ish lines and were inoculated with blood, or some constituent thereof. taken from French fever cases In one group 2 out of 34 developed the disease while in another test 15 out of 16 were af- fected.
 Having thus proved that trench fever is a germ disease, the medical staff began an investigation to determine ways in which it was spread. The body louse was first considered. Large numbers of these were collected from fever pa tents and allowed to bite P men, F of whom developed the disease. Blood lnoc- ulation caused the decease to develop in five to 20 days, and in the case of the lice the fever required from b to 5 days to develop.
 The men contracting the disease lost from 20 to 25 pounds in weight While they were i'll the Germans bombed the hospital in which they were being treat ed, but they were not injured.
 The report of General Pershing con cludes by sayinfi fit is believed by the army medical corps that the sacrifice of this group of 66 men will in time lead to the protection of thousands of men frnr,, tha rauapes of french fever
