ISOLATION # this city, resulting in
the expelling from it's membership.
the undersigned HEREBY wishes 20
clear himself from any suspicion of
being unloyal or unpatriotic.
Il hereby declare myself openly
TO be a loyal American citizen and

pers at the age of p.
Il denounce the charge that l am

with that country whatever. not
even relatives that / know Of, nor
any correspondence with any one
there
ION the ground of the charges
against me. that | have not taken
any Liberty bonds, nor contributed
to the war Chest, 1 can truthfully
say that at present l have no money
TO dispose Of. but debts which 1 am
trying to pay.
"On the ground of the charges
against me that / have not included
a patriotic sermon in my last Sun
days services, nor made announce
ment from the pu1pit 10 encourage
the third Liberty loan, l can also
truthfully say, that UP to this time
/ was under the impression, that a
minister OF the gospel could preach
according 10 the dictation of his
conscience under the protection OF
the government. unless the govern
ment makes restrictions, or makes
certain requests lawful.
However. if the contribution TO
the Liberty loan or War Chest be-
comes a necessity in order 10 prove
ones loyalty. am sure the whole
congregation will help me 10 make
such contribution.
II certain requests from the civic
authority must necessarily be an
nounced from the pulpit, in order
10 prove ones patriotism l shall do
so in the future.

REASONS FOR BAD COOKING.

REASONS FOR BAD COOKING.
Before condemning any housewife
o. professional cook for lack of skill
il the culinary art it is only fair
that YOU should examine and find
cut TO what the badness of the cook
ms is due. There are various sorts
of bad cooking not all due TO the
same conditions. You cannot mend
the bad cooking without first mend
ing the causes. Perhaps you are the
lad cook. Well, then, first Of all
find out why. That is the first step
toward things.
There always have been a good
many women who have cooked
wretchedly because they didn't
think cooking was worth their best
effort. They were women who felt
was far more inspiring than to be
allowed TO direct the food problems
cf their families. They were the
omen who sighed for a career
without any special gift that would
ever make a career possible. They
felt that they had been sidetracked
from their higher destiny when they
were placed in life in a position
where cooking was necessary. OF
course they did not realize that the
woman who is really born for
career other than thai of house
wifery will somehow get il in spite
or domestic duties. Harriet Bescher
Stowe. YOU know. had a house full
OF children and as many household
cares as any woman nova days. yet
she did manage TO write Uncle
Toms Cabin-and she wrote it. too,
without feeling that the homework
she had TO do was at all beneath
her So much for that type Of house
wife. There are not so many OF
them now as there were. The inter

ters of food preparation and food

Reiehstaa Perturhed.

London, Jan. IA belated dispatch
from the correspondent Of The AssO-
ciated Press in Berlin. dated Fri
day, shows that there was great
political perturbation following the
meeting of the main committee of
the reichstag that day. The meet
ing lasted barely As minutes, a mo-
ton for adjournment being support
ed by all factions except the inds-
pendent Socialists.
Immediately on adjournment all
the parties entered into caucus SEES
sions. which continued throughout
the day and until late at night. The
indications pointed, the correspond
ent says, to an endorsement Of the
governments attitude against NOV
ing the peace negotiations from
Brest-LitovslI to Stockholm, by the
right, center and progressive parties,
including the pacifists, the democratic
wings Of the nationals, liberals and
clericals, and the Scheidemann wing
OF the Socialists, but the attitude in
general Of the Socialists was prob
lematical.
The liberal Tageblatt reflects the
general attitude OF the press in
declaring that negotiations at Stock
holm would be impossible. The news
paper says llidb bIiAihig FIRNtu ana
American diplomats and their numer-
Gus agents are buzzing about Stock
holm and would promptly weave a
net Of intrigue around the confer
ence, and that espionage would -four
ish, making successful negotiations
impossible.
A Reuter- dispatch from Amster-
dam says the hitch over Brest-
Jitovsk is considered likely to en-
danger the cohesion OF the rsichstag
majority, but that great efforts are
being made to prevent the falling
away Of the Socialist majority. The
dispatch refers to the possibility OF
a new constellation OF reichstag
parties.
The Berlin VOrwaertE, the Social
list organ, refers to the declaration by
the Chancellor on the endangering
OF the peace negotiations as having
fallen on the spirit Of the nation like
a black cloud. The newspaper says
the situation is extraordinarily seri-
