MARBLED RABBIT, COLD.

Take a couple of fine rabbits, skin, empty, wash them; take out the liv- CTS and kidneys, fry them in plenty of hot fat till they are tender and
 lark1y colored; then lay them aside. Put the rabbits into boiling water; let them remain In it for five minutes. This Is to blanch them. Take them up, drain them, put them into a stew pan, pour over them as much cold water as will cover them. Add an onion stock with four cloves, a bunch of parsley, sprig of thyme, a bay leaf and little pepper and salt. Let them simmer gently till tender, and carefully skim the broth. Cut off the heads and necks of the rabbits, lift the flesh from the bones dn large, neat pieces; lay these aside. Ecrape off the remainder of the meat from the bones, take care of it, and put all the bones into a clean sauce pan with the rabbit broth and half an ounce of gelatine which has been soaked for an hour in cold water. Put into this liquor a small portion of ham or bacon, let it simmer till done enough; then take it out, let the gravy simmer till it is reduced to a pint. Strain through a jelly bag, carefully clear it from fat; if neces- NaEy, clarify with white of egg and season 1t well. Mince the scrappings

BRITISH PRISONERS FROM GERMANY

On Sunday, Nov. 17th, more than a thousand British prisoners from ten different prison camps stumbled into the single town of Nancy. They had walked more than ninety kilos. All were dirty, weak, emaciated. Two men died in the Red Cross can teen, waiting for food to be brought to them. Most of them suffered from suppurating wounds due in many cases to blows from rifles and Ger man guards. Others, kicked out of the prisons before daylight, had been caught in wire entanglements and were badly torn up. Their feet were merely huge hlisters.-"Lest We For get" by Francis R. Bellamy. in the March Red Cross Magazine.

Dear Doctor:

would like to know the effect of coffee, tea and alcohol, also. tobacco, on the nerves. I mean physical ef- feet Do the nerves deteriorate un- der the effects of stimulants? All I could find on the subject was that stimulants irritate the nerves. Is the irritation harmful in all cases. ! mean when the stimulants is used as a beverage? Is any one who is .ad- dicted to the use of one stimulant likely to use all stimulants?

ANSWER: Where t

ANSWER: Where the drinking water does not contain too much mineral matter and IS reasonbly pure it Is better for ordinary use than dis titled water. By boiling, it can, of course, be made perfectly safe. Ere Quent colds indicate that the system Is loaded with a great deal of ln- purities and poisons which are con- tinually being formed in the body and which are not being eliminated as fast as they should be. The sore throat stage mentioned above Is a symptom of this self-poisoning. It is to be prevented by regulation Of diet and hygiene, including deep breath ing exercises. Constipation must be absolutely avoided; use a diet suf- fciently laxative and take plenty of water daily, three to five pints at least for a time between meals.

there was a large clerical staff. The
actual digging, however. was done
mainly by a quarter Of a million OF
black laborers recruited from the various
West Indian Ishnds, and particularly
from Barbados. In order that the canal

mainly from the southern European

The canal. however. was not COM
pleted and opened for traffic for nearly
year after the outbreak OF the war.
and consequently the favorable expec-
tations entertained regarding the eco
nomic prosperity OF the Central Amer!-
can States has not so far been realized.
The principal products OF these states
are coffee, cocoa and bananas. For a
considerable time after the outbreak Of
the war the United States continued to
draw supplies OF these commodities from
Central America. AS shipping. however
became more and more wanted for pur-
poses connected with the war, and II
was found that the commodities these
countries were able TO supply could be
more conveniently obtained elsewhere.
the improvement OF the trade OF these
countries did not materialize TO the ex-
tent expected.

Whatever benefits from an economical
point Of view have come to the coun-
tries in the two great continents of the
Western Hemisphere, they have not been
shared to any extent by the little
countries in Central America-the five
republics. With hopes raised very high
by the work OF building and the prospec-
tive opening OF the Panama Canal. the
people OF these tight little countries had
beautiful visions OF enormous wealth,
unlimited world markets. unprecedented
relations with the rest of the world, and
a great era OF general prosperity and
unwonted immigration from the south
ern European countries.
But the war came and the hopes of
the Central Americans were blasted
Prior to the beginning of hostilities in
Europe the Central American peoples
already had begun TO realize their
boundless dreams. Business had i'm
proved TO the extent that even the most
pessimistic were forced TO admit it. In a
large measure the climatic and sanitary
conditions which always had been a
drawback had been much improved
through the work OF the American canal
builders.
When the war clouds broke the open

Investigation Necessary.

Due to their large and experienced
STATS the details OF shipping can he eco
nonically and expedtiously attended to
and because Of their extensive knowlcdSH
of the countries in which they operate
they can safely extend liberal credits.
All Of these are OF advantage to the
manufacturer who does not care to un-
dertake to handle the details Of his own
exporting, but when an agency privilege
is passed out To such firm with no
guarantee whatsoever OF results IL is
evidence that the manufacturer either
has no faith in his line or too much in
the Arm to which he proffers his agency.

Written Especially for TEE s.


A surprising number Of export man
ayers seem altogether unwary OF the
wiles Of certain trading organizations
operating In Central and South America
Lack of discrimination and failure OF
careful investigation before placing
agencies may be accepted as the reasons
for many unsuccessful endeavors to find
a market for American products abroad.
The ears of every manufacturer echo
with the glowing accounts OF what this
firm or that would be able to accomplish
could they but have one agency or an
other in Yucatan. Patagonia or Timbuc-
too. and the recitals of the prospects of
such business are suggestive Of the FL
Dorado delusions Of old.
Many reputable manufacturers ana
accredited export managers have sue
cumbed to the particular brands of per-
euasion which such trading houses have
used upon them.
Branches Overburdened.
Evidence OF this may be found in the
| long files OF dusty catalogues and moldy
samples to be found on the shelves of
| many branch agencies abroad.

| Of such house in Peru how he sue
ceeded in pushing so many lines, at one
time. Push them?' he said, I'VE are
| lucky II we find the right catalogue
when customer makes an inquiry. Our
ofice in New York sends us their agen-
/ cies without consultation, although our
regular business of staple commodities

These special lines demand more atten-

no efforts at all to develop sales on these

Yes" he replied. when a new agency
is taken on. one OF our statesmen tries
It out. but IL It does not go, he cannot
| AFFORD TO spend time on II, as his reg
ular lines are more profitable. II. how

own representative down once a year
OF 10, and is willing TO work up his
own trade. good results can often be
obtained. especially on slich lines as re-
quire technical knowledge of the goods
in order to properly demonstrate them"
He finished by saying that he hoped
his principals ia New York would soon
cease acquiring new agencies, as he was
already swamped with more lines than
he could keep track Of
At this very time, however. his New
York office and the New York Offices
of many other firms were striving with
! every means within their possession tc
induce as many manufacturers as pos.
sible to accord them their exclusive
| sales rights in one or more countries
| for varying terms of years.
