RICE VICTORY BREAD.

Save heat and at the same time
pacify the hungry family with rice
bread a delicious bread which is not
wholly wheatless, but nevertheless is
somewhat Of u wheat substitute. Here
is the recipe:
Two cups boiled rice, six cups flour
or more if necessary, one cake yeast,
dry or compressed or one.half cup
liquid yeast two tablespoons sugar, one
tablespoon salt, two tablespoons short
water if liquid yeast not used. Cook
the rice until soft with as much water
as it will absorb; put through a colan-
der; cool until lukewarm then add
the salt, sugar and about one cup of
flour and mix thoroughly. Next, add
the yeast which has been rubbed
smooth in a cup with four tablespoons
of lukewarm water. Cover and place
the bowl out of the way Of draughts,
and at u temperature of from so to IS
degrees Fahrenheit. Allow this mixture
to rise for two hours or until very light
To this sponge which will be found
to be quite soft, add the melted short
ening and the remainder Of the flour,
kneading thoroughly until a smooth and
elastic dough has been formed. DO not
add more water to the dough unless it
is absolutely necessary in order to in
corporate all the flour. Set the dough
back to rise again for one hour until
light. Mould in to loaves and place in
creased pans and set in warm place
when they have increased to two or
three times their original size, bake
in a moderate oven for abou. fifty to
sixty minutes.
If desired, the sponge for this bread
one fourth as much yeast as directed for
may be set in the evening, using only
the quicker method.
In warm weather keep the sponge
cool
Half a cup of raw rice will produce
the two cups of boiled rice called for
in the recipe. Broken rice, the cost
of which is about two cents less per
pound than that of head rice, or rice
meal, made by grinding broken rice in
a hand mill, can be used to advantage in
making rice bread.

THE SPIRIT OF SUCCESS.
Enthusiasm Termed Precious Posses
sion, and Many Who Would Succeed
Must Keep Ii Bubbling.

Minneapolis Journal. A writer in
Physical Culture nominates enthusiasm
as the most precious possession a man
may have. 1t may be inconsistent from
lack of intelligent direction it may but.
bic over instead of boiling just enough
but it is the spirit that moves the
world. Enthusiasm is a quality that
keeps its possessor bright, alert and
alive.
A Western philosopher has said that
"when man succeeds, he docs it in
spite Of everybody, and not with the
assistance of everybody" When 4 man
makes a venture much out Of the ordi
nary, he is opposed by about everybody
connected with him by relationship or
friendship. His enthusiasm must be
great enough to cause him to go on
"in spite of everybody"
Many a man who has this upwellng
enthusiasm and who has, by its aid,
planned out a course to pursue, is care.
full to tell no friend, relative or busi-
ness associate for fear Of having his
enthusiasm dampened and Of being
moved out of the course planned. Ad.
vice is often a great killer Of initiative.
Men who know nothing about n matter,
who have not thought it out, who have
not been moved by the enthusiasm OF
the spirit that conqucrs difficulties, are
free to give advice. This is the adyice
of the thoughtless. It takes a hardy
plant to survive it. The man who con.
sidpIS il is likely TO he moved to that
hesitation which leaves him on the plat.
form considering, while the train OF sue.
cess sweeps on.
a man VINO succeeds must be careful
whose advice he takes, and he must
have enthusiasm to rise above the ad.
vice of those who do not know as much
about the matter as he does.

WHY RUSSIA FELL APART

TUE breaking up of Russia into lot of
= separate States. which has followed the
revolution Of last year, has surprised most
observers in Europe and America. In
some quarters it has been credited to the
mAchinations of the Germans.
j DR. e. J. Dillon, who is probably the best
1ntcrmed English-speaking authority on
Russia, sees nothing strange in it. Indeed,
= would have been strange, in his opinion,
q Russia had held together. In his latest
book on the Slav empire he says that the
4lQefent and hostile races living In Russia
were held together by the Carbon alone.
The bureaucratic government in St. Pc
torsburg bound the races together and held
them together by force. As soon as the
seovernment Of the Car was DESTROYED
Nussia fell apart, as the slaves of a barrel
aeparate when the hoops are removed
i this view he correct, and there Is no
reason for doubling the judgment of an
oxpert who has lived in the country for
thirty years and made it his business to
study it's people, the problem Of the re-
habilitation of Russia is not simple. Doc
ter Dillon believes that a fatal mistake

WHAT WILL THE COLONEL DO

HOLoNEL ROOSEVELT is expected to
~ announce today whether he will accept
the Republican nomination for the gov
sfhorship of New York If it is offered to
Mn.
The opponents of the denomination of
Governor Whitman are attempting to use
him for their purposes. The Colonel is
aware Of what they are doing. Those of
hio friends who wish to see him running
for the presidency in 1920 are hoping that
he will refuse to become a candidate for
the sovernorship nomination. They think
tt will injure his chances. The Colonel
himself is said to prefer to remain in pri-
vate life. where he can have his say about
the conduct of the war without embarrass-
ing any one but himself. The New York
Tribune would like to see him in Congress.
where he could vote as he talks.
It is unfortunate that the Colonel and
Mr.. Taft are not both in the Senate. Our
former Presidents could very well be made
life members of that body. so that the ma
tion could profit by the broad knowledge
Of public affairs which they acquired during
their service in the White House. But
~ the absence OF any constitutional provi-
ION which permits them to sit in the
1enate they are forced to choose the way
- which they best can serve the country.
Colonel Roosevelt has been doing his best,
according to his own lights. to serve it in
his way for the last nine years, and Mr..
Taft has been engaged in the same kind
q patriotic work for the last five years.
And Mr. Wilson when he retires will doubt
1ooo continue to give us the benefit of the
experience gained in administering the
0overnment in its most trying period,
In the meantime, as the Colonel is a
pezttician Of considerable skill we may
6oBums that the decision which he may
announce today will be based not wholly
- his personal preferences.

4 LETTER HOME

DEAR HEART, some day, when I come

DEAR HEART, some day, when come
~ back
Across the night that blurs our view,
When I have found the long lost track
That leads again to homeland YOU
When have stalked across this stencil
OF filth and mud and clotted gore.
To see beyond the last lone trench
Old dreams rise through the mist once
more
Well know, beyond these blood shot scenes
That leave their wake Of blight and pain
Just what an time twilight means
When dusk steals out some friendly lane,
And, hand in hand, home-bound we drift,
Beyond the mangled and the dead,
To watch once more the old moon lift
Its silver etchings on ahead
To meet the darkness without fear
OF what tomorrow's fate may bring
To reach and find the other near
Through springs eternal wandering,
And know. at last. our ways are one,
Are one forever and day,
Until we meet the last dim sun
That leads US on the outbound way.
Well know just what it means to So
A far light glowing through the gray,
Dim dusk Of April's witchery,
When come back again--some day
A light from home-and not the flow
or battle flame from darkness hurled.
A light from home that sends It glow
To two lost lovers down the world. =
Dear Heart, I've found Out Here at last,
We've never understood before;
The happiness that we thought past
Is but a breath Of what's In store
Far from tho cannon, wheel to wheel,
That tear apart the midnight hue,
The dawn of life that we will feel.
Dear Heart. when I come back to you.
