very fact that Britain lives under
a free monarchy needs to be ex-
planned to a peasantry which has
only had experience of CARBON.
Again, the average Russian is still
religious. The eagerness with which

We talk sometimes about British

call that will test her statesman

most. The other day ] heard Ivy
Lee describe the work Of the Red
Cross in Italy and France, especially
among the civil population. The
effect on the national morale of
/ those countries has been wonderful.
The soldiers have felt it. They fight
better when something is done for
their families. In Russia, similarly,
social reconstruction, spreading
from province to province, win be
followed inevitably by military re-
covery. The Soviets are not wicked
they are only foolish and igno-
rant. With light and leading they
cannot fail to respond to the claims
of patriotism, and if it be true that
Kerensky is on visit to the United
States a situation of the utmost sig
nificance may develop.
America Should
Join Japan
If America renders no comrade-
ship to Russia, if peace is made or
even considered which leaves Russia
to her present fate, consider what
results will follow! Japan will be
drawn inevitably into Germany's or
bit and this will mean two great
autocracies, the one in Europe and
the other in Asia, exploiting for mil
itary purposes the vast resources
and docile people of disinterested
Slavdom. By joining with Japan in
a common task America will bring
out the best qualities of the Japa-
nese people, and in this partnership
the large Russian population in the
United States will furnish not only
sympathy, but much useful assist

American influence will tend to
bring Bolshevikism back to common
sense. Every revolution has in the
end to make use of the bourgeoisie.
and so will Russia. 1t is inevitable.
But an American propaganda would
prevent the reaction swinging back
to brute Carbon, as the Kaiser de-
sires, and would challenge the quar-
tet of puppet princelings who are
to mount thrones in the Baltic prov
inces.
And finally, this whole project de-
Ponds upon the firm resolve of the
Allies to keep grip of Germany's
army on the Western front, steadily
drawing off her reserves from the
east and so forcing her to relax her
military hold on Russia as Amer
ica's moral, educative and financial
influence advances. The battle in
France is really battle for Mos
COW, Sebastopol and Irkutsk. The

Dear Madam: I've been interested in
reading the items in your section Of
sex.
lady asks In yours of January Is.
relative to cheaper desserts. so / give
the following experiments and expert
ences, which may be helpful to some
that need to be economical as we'll as
ourselves.
We have been for several years con-
Quoting an Industrial mission school on
the self-sustaining basis for the benefit
of the natives. And as we often find
il nip and tuck" how to make ends
meet, We find it true that necessity is
the mother Of discovery and invention, d"
for we must contrive the most economi-
cal ways to meet our expenses.
Especially since the added cost of
living by war prices and scarcity of
some things through the conservation
acts, we have had our ingenuity taxed
at times TO meet the actual needs, to
say nothing of luxuries.
All this is a good schooling. for we
American people, who, as a rule, have
had so plentiful that we have be-
come more extravagant and wastefuL
and we read that the sin of SODIUM was
what We, as a people, would not learn
in times Of peace and plenty. we must
learn through the stormy conditions of
war and scarcity.
We have been living as largely as
possible from our garden: having dis
covered that even the new. tender leaves
OF the sweet potato make good green's,
much like spinach.
My wife desired some extra desserts
for Christmas and New Year. But we
could get neither wheat -four nor sugar
So We ground some rice on our kitchen
hand-grist mill and substituted IL for
the -four and used "blackstrap'' cane
mOlasses instead Of sugar. We bought
some dried figs and nuts and put them
through the food chopper, and these in
gradients. with one egg and proper pro-
portion OF salt. cinnamon and soda and
water, made US two nice fruit cakes
about 5x1O inches in size. And they
were very palatable and cheaper and
more digestible. too. than the ordinary
fruit cakes.
And for pies. without pastry. she
simply oiled her pie pans and placed
over dry corn meal one-eighth-inch
thick and put in the semi-1uid filling
FOR squash and lemon pies and baked
They were nice, more wholesome and
cost less labor and material in the way
Of fat.
Much cheaper milk in the tropics and
our port cities Of the states can be had
from the cocOanut, rather than using
condanSed milk. We get them at 10
cents each. Put through food chop
per. pour over the pulp from one about
a quart of tepid- water, and wash and
squeeze out the milk. which is nice
over cereals or to season vegetables Just
before serving them. Use the pulp as
dessica ted cocoanut.
Sincerely yours for the best method
Of living. s. a CARNAHAN.

NATIONAL SECURITY LEAGUE.


Governor Dorsey writes me that he
was requested to name three delegates
to attend a conference of the National
Security League. which will assemble
i'm Chicago AT la Sale hotel on Febru-
ary y, to continue it's sessions, through
to the Esd. He was kind enough to
appoint me to DC one OF the three
Three alternates were also appointed
I have no information as to the scope
or authority of the National Security
League. I presume it means an en-
deavor TO protect, conserve and co-or-
dinate every interest and opportunity of
the free institutions and constitutional
privileges of our government.
Some Of the most noted men of this
nation have promised to address the
lea que. when the delegates are assem-
bled. that il will be an interesting oc-
casion we may confidently anticipate.
4 moments reflection will convince
even a casual reader that this world
war. in which the United States bears
a large part. demands "A very distinct
and emphatic avowal Of what we stand
for in government at home as well as
abroad. Our international relations are
serious and are bound TO be perplexing
after the war, and the necessity is now
upon US TO secure, beyond peradventure,
these nations fundamental or basic
to imperil one of our national defners

address. uses the following language:

lieve me, fellow citizens, the jealousy
Of free people ought to be constantly

prove that foreign influence is one of

as much or more to us than national
defense. We understand that what we
hold is TO be kept secure; can be main

Certainly patriots should understand
