UKRAINIANS DENY
 BOLSHEVIK MENACE
Premier Declares That There Is
 No Disorder There

Stanislau, West Ukraine, April 3, Correspondence Of The Associated Press. )-'There is no disorder and not bit of Bolshevism among us, '' Premier Isidore Holubowitz of the Ukraine told the correspondent of The Associated Press the other day. Only recently we expelled two agita- tors from Moscow who were dis guised as members of the Red Cross. We are very anxious to have an Allied mission visit us and see the facts with their own eyes.
 Thus far The Associated Press correspondent is the first foreign Journalist to be sent among us. We want the Americans to know us as aristocratic frills.
 I've believe that President Wil- sons ethnology plan is the only pos sible settlement of all these disputes. We are willing to abide by any lair division by unprejudiced persons after they are properly acquainted with the subject.''
 Premier Holubowitz had been dis cussing with The Associated Press correspondent the failure of the Allied mission to compose the df- ferences between the Poles and me Ukrainians over the Lemberg oil re- zion which has been one cause or the fighting over the possession CT the city of Lemberg. He pointed out that the Ukrainians declined to ac- cede to the request of the Allied Mis- sion to stop fighting, because they be- Iieved the commissioners were dis posed to favor the Poles.
 "As at present organized there are two Ukraines," resumed the premier. One of these is composed of 5,000,00 Ukrainians in Eastern Galicia; the

TAKE THIS TRIP WITH
FELIX RoUSsET IN FRANCE

l was in a fine predicament, but the
guide did not seem to mind it all and
brought me to hut where we had
hot chocolate and some other stuff,
and hard-bOiled eggs. Eggs are Ger
tainly luxury to the soldier.
1t was showing too much to do
skiing on the summit, so we went
further down and tried-that is !

how to put the skis on, but / took
many spill trying. Finally l got
them on and started down the slope.
/ am finished with skiing. / went
down with some speed and could not
stop, and so had to dump in four feet
of snow. l tried several times, AMI
decided / had enough.
Although there was snow all
around, it was not very cold, an over
coat not being necessary. On the
side Of the mountain it was not as
windy as on the top and, consequent
ly, not so cold. Il it took SO much
effort to climb the mountain, it re-
quired very little time to come down,
and most of the time we were going
down at double time. 1t was about
two and a half miles to the stopping
place, or q little less, Of the electric
car, which we took at half past four
or five, and was glad to sit down, /
had a good appetite that night.
During the course of my stay I did
some sleighing, made expeditions to
points of interest in the surrounding
country, the principal Of which was
my visit to Spain. AS mentioned, Luz
ci1on is near the Spanish frontier, in
the midst of tall mountains, which
makes it cold although in southern
temperate ATTITUDES. Several noun
tains had to be crossed in deep snow,
thereby making the trip very tire
some. Mountain trails are very
crooked or winding, and lots of walk
ing has to be done to get nowhere.

is for the round trip, through wooded
valleys, with trees loaded with snow,
over small precipices and waterfalls
and over slippery snow-covered rocks
but we got there, walked in Span
ish territory by town called BarOst,
and started the return journey for
Luchon, and the trail going down
most of the day, it did not take as
as long to get back, which was about
q o'clock at night, just in time for
supper, and then went to the
Casino. The French people have a
habit Of eating late, usually at 8
o'clock, and often at 8. After rest
ing a while l took the train for
Tarbes, fair-sized city of Southern
France, visited the birth place of
Marshal Foch, a modest place, and
thence / went to Lourdes, which is
famed the world over for the Notre
Dame de Lourdes Church, where
many apparitions and miracles have
taken place. NOtre Dame de Lourdes
Church is one Of the most beautiful
of France that / have seen, more
beautiful in my estimation than the
Madeleine Church of Paris. There
are, properly speaking, three
churches, one above and slightly in
the rear of each other, and what
makes it the more interesting, the
style of architecture is on different
plan from other churches, which are
mostly built along the same general
lines. The interior Of NOtre Dame
is all decorated with swords, medals,
epaulets, crutches, sabres, canes, ETC.,
in thanks for favors granted.
/ went up the mountain nearby,
but this time in an electric sight-see-
ing trolley, and the scenery or pane
rama from the high mountains was
gorgeous, all the surrounding coun-
try for miles could be seen with its
numerous towns. Mountains are
very impressive, especially when seen
from a great height, and make one
think. It is certainly true that there
is nothing as instructive as travel,
when done in the proper way. The

 A baby, no matter how young, should be given frequent drinks of sterilized water. A bottle is the best way to give it until the child is old enough to drink from cup.
 Orange juice for babies, given be- tween meals, is a most wholesome and refreshing drink.
 A harmless laxative which will be a pleasure to the children to take is the following: Grind through a meat grinder one pound each of figs, dates, raisins and softened pruncs, with five cents worth of senna leaves. Mix and knead well, form into a loaf and wrap in waxed paper keep in a cool place. For a child piece the size of a pecan is sufficient; adults may take a larger piece. This will keep for weeks, is en- tirely harmless and much less expen- sive than many drugs sold for the purpose.
 Add preserved citron to the mince- meat; it adds greatly to the flavor of this time-honored pie filling; the citron melon which is home prepared, not that used for cake.
 Gitron melon, if grated before pre- serving, may be used for many dainty dishes or garnishes for ices, giving a delicate flavor well liked and adding to the variety of good things as well

Town Made Famous by oysters.

The oyster season at Colchester, England, was opened with quaint cere- monies. The mayor and corporation traversed the fishery grounds in a dredger and the mayor made the first haul of oysters. The mayor and cor poration then consumed gin and gin- ger-bread-a custom which has pre- vailed since the fishery was first opened under royal charter in the reign O. Richard I. A telegram ex- pressing dutiful devotion was sent to the king at a luncheon afterwards on Peewit island The early Saxons so appreciated the Colchester fishery that they took three oyster knives for their arms, and this device still forms the arms of the county of Essex The Colchester fishery lost all their con- tinental customers during the war, but the British public consumed all that they could supply. They had most successful seasons, and were able to give 10000 oysters to military hos pitals.

 Roast Wild Duck.-Clean and truss the duck; sprinkle we'll with salt and pepper and cover the breast with thin strips of salt pork. Place on a rack in q dripping pan or roaster; add a little water to the pan; place in a hot oven and cook for half an hour. Baste at least five times during the roasting. Serve with currant jelly. An onion or two may be put into the cavity of the bird, or a bunch of eel cry, removing before serving. These 1avors add much to the flavor of q wild duck. Most epicures agree that the highly-seasoned stuffings overpow- CT the delicate flavor of the bird. For those who still cling to the method of stuffing, the following will be enjoyed
 Raisin stuffing.-Soak one quart of bread crumbs in cold water and squeeze dry; add two well-beaten eggs. one teaspoonful of salt, two table spoonfuls of chopped parsley, one cup full of chopped raisins and one-half cupful of chopped celery.
 Roast Venison.-Rub the roast all over with the cut side of a lemon: lard it with strips of fat salt pork. and roast 15 minutes to the pound, basting occasionally; cook until tender but rare. Serve with spiced grape jelly. If one cares to improve the flavor. add a small chopped onion and carrot to the roasting pan.
 Rabbit With egetabIes.-Place a thick layer of onions in a casserole then a layer of rabbit cut in serving sized pieces, sitting of flour and seasoning and another layer of onions. and rabbit until all is used. Cover and cook in moderate oven.
 As no moisture (except that in the mixture), is added, care must be talk en to keep 1t from seorching. Serve with mashed potatoes.

RELIEF IN TEARS
Weeping of Real Value in the
 Life of Mankind.
Provision of Nature to Relieve the Grief-centers of Their Sensibility and Fit Nervous Organization
 to Endure Sorrow.

German statesmen have shed tears over the hard terms of peace imposed upon them by the allies.
 It would not be necessary for one to be hopelessly cynical to be remind ed by this incident of the legendary tears of the crocodile; though indeed sympathetic spirit might be inclined to rejoice in the spectacle of such weeping, for Germany's own good; say ing with the poet: "She must weep, or she will die.'
 There are few physical functions more familiar than the shedding of tears, and there is probably none more complex and inscrutable; none more strangely mfngling spirituality and science. From the material point of view tears are nothing but an excre- ton of salt water from glands of the eyes. They consist normally of the Durest of water with small admixture of common salt, or chloride of sodium, such as exists in the blood. In some abnormal conditions of the body they contain other chemicals. Thus one suffering from poisoning with salts of antimony may shed tears contain ing that chemical, so that tears them selves are poisonous; and diabetic pa tients shed tears containing sugar.
 From another point of view tears are manifestations of emotion and al- ways spring from the heart. That is to say one does not weep because of the mental processes of the brain but because of the feelings of the heart Even if the tears be hypocritical and summoned up for an insincere purpose they are produced by the brains work ing back to the heart and making an appeal to it's emotion. An eminent ac- tor when asked how he was able to shed real tears at will replied that he father who was dead and whom he greatly loved.
 It is to be noticed, too, that the nervous excitation which results in tears is caused by grief, but not near 1y so much by actual pain. "In the days before the use of anesthetics," says great surgical authority, 'T have had pdblc4IS WuO were ALQGl SplIiS =bBSId- dons faint have heard them cry out and scream until they made the by islanders sick and pale, but rarely if ever have they shed tears"
 Again, it is observed that tears are of much value to the life of mankind. That value is not merely in the fact that their flow gives relief, but still more in the indication that the grief centers are being reprieyed of their sensibility and that the nervous organ ization is being fitted to endure sor- row with fortitude AS a rule" says a great authority, "the escape and free escape of tears relieves the heart and saves the body the shock of grief"
 It is obviously well, then, that Ger many should weep. To say that. is not to exult in her suffering, but rath- CT to rejoice in her relief from it. The suffering is inevitable as fate. It is well that she shall be saved from the extreme shock of it through recourse to tears; for, to quote the poet again, "She must weep or she will ie."-New York Herald.

Tn the Earth's Interior.

From the evidence available, R. D. Oldham traces three divisions in the earth's interior. The solid outer crust, with a thickness of 11a to 1 per cent of the radius Cor 20 to 40 miles), has high permanent rigidity, but from un- known causes has been subject to deformations, with displacements of as much as 10 miles vertically and 100 horizontally. The next section, about half the radius in thickness, has high rigidity for such stresses as tidal action with low rigidity for long-con- tinued stress. The central nucleus has low rigidity. The conclusions re- latlng to the two inner divisions are drawn from records of earthquake waves.

 Baked custard.-Beat four eggs slightly. add half eupful of sugar and a quart of fresh milk. Cook over water in the oven. sprinkling in bit o4 cinnamon. nutmeg or any flavor de. sired.

Any egg and milk combination should always be cooked at a low tempera- tufe. To test the custard to know when it is done dip a knife into the center; if it comes out clean the GUS tard is ready to be taken from the oven and hot water If the cups are allowed to stand outside the oven in the water they will often overcook.
 Ginger Cuetard.- buttered GUS tard cups with pieces of canton gin ger, then pour in thick custard, using four eggs to a pint of milk a third of cup of sugar a fourth of teaspoonful of salt and two tea spoonfuls of vanilla.

Sun Source of All Power.

Power cannot come from nothing. Even watch or clock must, sooner or later, have new power put into it. The power is put into the spring when the watch is wound up. We wind 1t with muscle force obtained from food. Food in turn is produced by power of the sun. So the sun. which really drives the watch, is the source of all power.
