London, July ga serious counter
revolution has broken out in MOSCOW,
according to a semi-official Wolff bu-
reau telegram dated on Sunday from
Moscow and transmitted to London
by the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany's correspondent at Copenhagen.
Fighting of great severity took place
in the streets between the Bolsheviki
troops and Social Revolutionaries.
A message received in London from
the Russian wireless service, dated
Sunday evening at MOSCOW, says that
. counter revolution was started in
the Russian capital, but that. it had
been suppressed. Several hundred
Russians, including the Social Revolu-
tionary leader, .Alexandrovitch, have
been arrested at Moscow.
Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik pre-
mier, is endeavoring to placate the
Germans by appointing an "extraordi-
nary commission of investigation" to
probe the death of Count Won Mir
bach. The commission Is headed by
Comrade Peters.
AS soon as Emperor William heard

Washington, July 9.-Fighting took
place in Moscow between Bolshevik
forces and Revolutionary Socialists,
following the assassination of Count
Won Mirbach, the German ambassador

olutionary Socialists. This building
was defended by machine guns.

which the moist air may pass away.
Air Current Hastens Drying.
The principle Of construction is that
currents Of heated air pass over the
product as well as up through 1t,
gathering the moisture and passing
away. The current Of air induces Q
more rapid, and uniform drying. The
upper trays can be shifted to the lower
part Of the drier and the lower trays
to the upper part as drying proceeds,
So as to dry products uniformly

Your Cleaning Closet.

A closet, cupboard or wardrobe in
the kitchen is the best place for keep
ing the cleaning utensils. A backstair
closet IL also good place. One end
Of a back porch may be inclosed and
used for such purpose. The closet
should have plenty Of hooks and racks
for utensils and shelf for cleaning
materials.
The housekeeper should choose uten-
sils according to her own needs and
according to the requirements Of her
house. Those suggested below are in
expensive and will help to tighten the
work Of cleaning:
Bucket with wringer for mopping.
A piece Of inch board 10 inches
square with rollers makes a conveni-
ent platform on which to ret the mop
bucket, and permits it to be moved
easily without lifting.
Wall mop made by tying bag made
Of wool or cotton cloth over an ordi-
nary broom.
A broom, with hook screwed in the
end Of the handle by which It can be
hung up.
A long-handled dustpan.
Several brushes for cleaning pur-
poses.
Cheesecloth, worn silk and flannel
cite for busters.
Busters may be made by dipping
pieces Of cheesecloth in two quarts Of
warm water to which one-half cupful
Of kerosene has been added. These
cloths should be kept away from the
stove or lighted lamp, as they are In
fiammable.
A blackboard eraser covered with
hannelette for stove polishing.
An oil floor mop to use on oiled
or polished floors. Several makes can
be found on the market, or one may
be made Of old stockings or any dis
carded woolen or hannelette material.
The material II cut into one-inch
strips and sewed across the middle to
a foundation Of heavy cloth. This IL
fastened to an old broom handle or
used in clamp mop handle. The mop
is dipped into q solution made Of one
half cupful melted parafin and one
cupful kerosene, and allowed to dry.
To keep It moist, 1t IL rolled tight and
kept in q paper bag, away from stove
or lamp.
A carpet sweeper or . vacuum
cleaner should be used In the daily
cleaning Of the carpets and rugs. A
vacuum cleaner operated by hand or
electric power removes practically all
the dust and dirt from carpets ana
rugs IN Q dustless manner.

SAVE PALS
French Win Ground South Of Aisne,
and Australians on Both sides
Of Somme.

With the British Army in France,
July 9.-In the German counter attack
against the positions gained by the
Austrians around Hamel two Ameri-
cans and five Australians were cap
tured by the enemy. Volunteers were
called for and an American party
brought back the captured men and a
German officer. while twelve Austria.
lians brought the number of Germans
prisoners to fifty.
Continuing their aggressive defense
In the face of the impending offensive.
the French have attacked southwest
of Soissons From the eastern side
Of the Retz forest, north of Longpont,
the French have advanced over front
Of approximately two miles, taking
Chavigny farm and the slopes to the
north and south Of it. Several hundred
prisoners were captured by the French
in their sudden attack.
This may be linked with the recent
offensive operations at st. Pierre Aigle
and gives the French new front line
fromLongpont north to Ambleny, .
distance of almost eight miles.
Australians astride the Somme east
Of Amiens and north of Hamel have
swept back the enemy over front of
more than . mile and straightened out
An awkward angle held by the Ger
mans since the Australians and
Americans carried their lines forward
July 1.
Berlin mentions local attacks in the
Clignon sector, which is held by Amer
leans, and between the Marne and
Rheims.
Italian forces in Albania have struck
hard at Austrian positions along the
voyusa (yojutxa) river, which flows
into the Adriatic about twenty miles
north Of the town Of Avlona, one Of the
most important places in southern Al
bania. Vienna admits that the Aus
trian advanced posts have been with
drawn to their main positions
In the north the residents Of the
Murman region have thrown aside the
authority Of the Bolshevik government
at Moscow and joined the entente al

supplies in this region, and American,

cleanlln.s. in Bread Making.

Cleanliness is important In all
forms of cookery, but important
for several reasons in bread
making. Bread almost always
contains bacteria, and these are
likely to produce in dough sub
stances which spoil the flavor Of
the bread. Yeast has no flavor
which survives the cooking. and
the Substances which 1t pro-
duces, carbon dioxide and alc0-
hol, are driven of by the heat
of the oven. Bacteria, ON the
other hand. are likely to pro-
duce sour or rancid substances
which are not removed by bak-

This Method Of Conserving Re-
quires No Sugar-Especfafy
Important This Year.
EFFICIENT DRIER IS CHEAP
Currents Of Heated Air Pass Over
Product as Well as Up Through Il
Inducing More Rapid and
Uniform Drying.

Special emphasis is placed this year
by food conservation specialists on the
Importance Of drying. This method
requires no sugar, and as Its advan-
tages become better known is attain
ing wide popularity. Nearly every
product Of the soil can be dried ana
thus preserved for use months and
even years later. Bulletins describing
tested drying methods will be sent free
on application to the United States
department Of agriculture.
Vegetables and fruits can be dried
in an oven, in trays or racks over the
kitchen stove, or in a specially con-
structed drier. There are small driers
on the market which give satisfactory
results. The small cookstove driers
or evaporators are small ovenlike
structures usually made of galvanized
sheet iron, or Of wood and galvanized
iron. They are Of such size that they
can be placed on the top Of an ordi-
nary gas, wood or coal range or kero-
sene stove.
A Homemade DrIer.
A drier that can be used on gas,
wood or coal range or kerosene stove
can be easily and cheaply made. The
dimensions of the ones shown in the
photograph are: base "a by 16 inches
height, SO inches Qncluding the basel.
The drier can be made smaller II de-
sired.
The base, 8 inches high. is made OF
galvanized sheet iron. It flares toward
the bottom, and has two small open
ings for ventilation in each Of the
four sides. On the base rests box
like frame made Of 1 or 1k-inch
strips of wood. The two sides are
braced with 1K-ipch strips which
serve as cleats on which the trays In
the drier rest. These are placed at
intervals Of 3 inches. The frame Is
covered with tin or galvanized sheet
iron which is tackled to. the wooden
strips of the frame. Thin strips Of
wood may be used instead Of tin or
sheet iron. The door is fitted on small
hinges and fastened with a thumb
latch. It opens wide 20 that the trays
can easily be removed. The bottom
in the drier II made Of piece Of per
forated galvanized sheet iron. Two
inches above the bottom IL placed a
solid sheet Of galvanized iron. three
inches less in length and width than
the bottom. This sheet rests on two
wires fastened to the sides OF the
drier. This prevents the direct heat
from coming In contact with the prod.
uct and serves a. radiator to spread
the heat more evenly.
VIII Hold Eight Trays.
The first tray is placed 8 inches
above the radiator. The trays rest on
the cleats 8 inches apart. A drier OF
the Riven dimensions win hold eight
trays. The frame for the tray u made
Of finch strips on which is tackled gal
vanized screen wire. which forms the
bottom Of the tray. The tray II n BY

depth than the drier. The lowest tray
when placed in the drier IL pushed to

With the front, leaving 3-inch space
