He saw the foreign roads - in England and
France the best in Europe - and in other Con-

The part railroads have played in the develop

American railroads have achieved high stand

striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue tc have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $50, 900 100000 now invested in our
railroads. there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings - and for
struction and ngneerng economies that will
duce the cost of transportation.

in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital managers and men - the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to

American railroads will continue to set world

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD

To eat to save is to waste, but to
leave bread and butter to eat cake is
also waste.
Cereals are usually the cheapest food
on the market for supplying fuel to
the body, together with fair amount
Of tissue-building material.
Insist on getting clean eggs. Dirty
ones spoil quickly. But do not wash
an egg until just before using. as wash
ing may hasten the spoilage.
Rinse all the soap out of garments
before bluing them. Some bluings
contain a compound Of rice, which
when brought in contact with soap
may make rust spots on the clothes.
Keep the hcme fires burning, but
don't overdo the matter A warm
encEgh temperature for indoors is 6S
degrees, except in homes where there
are old people, young children, or in
valids.
Waste no food, but take proper care
Of leftover, and use it before harm
full micro-organisms have a chance to
breed in it. Some of these organisms
cause poisoning.
Divide your food dollar into fifths.
Use about 20 cents of it for fruits and
vegetables; 20 cents or more for milk
and cheese: 20 cents or less for meat,
fish and eggs; 20 cents or more for
bread and cereals; 20 cents or less
for sugar, fat, tea, coffee, chocolate
and favoring
Make enough of the Christmas fruit
cake or plum pudding so you can have
some on hand to serve in emergencies
after the holidays. Both puddings and
cakes which are rich in fruits improve
with age.
Cranberries, after careful removal
of the soft ones, may be kept if placed
in a crock and covered with water. A
plate or round board should be placed
over them and weighted down to keep
the berries under water. Change the
water once month.

of France, an American organization
cooperating with a similar one in
France of which Marshal Joffre is the
head, is trying to furnish American
aid to the extent of ten cents a day

cent contributed for a child goes d.

either in this country or in France for
any other purpose; the expenses of
the work are borne by generous

REMINDS SOLDIERS OF HOME
Small Goddess of Liberty in Paris Al
tracks Americans to Bridge Where
She Stands.

There is little old bridge in Paris,
In an out-of-the-way part Of the city,
that is being trod by many Yankee
feet these days.
The Eiffel tower is about three
fourths of a mile away, and the dis
lance between, the tower and the little
bridge is about as unattractive as you
could find in Paris. Nor does the
bridge-called the pont de G"enelle-
lead you across the Seine to any sight
seeing place.
But that bridge supports in its center
a statue of the Goddess of Liberty, the
same glorious lady who holds aloft her
fame of righteousness in New York
harbor. A great many Americans have
learned on this bridge that the Goddess
of Liberty was gift from France to
America. The description on the ped
estal records this fact, and there fol-
lows in French an excerpt from the let
ter of acceptance of Vice President
Morton.
The figure is only about 10 feet tall,
bat the disparity in size as compared
with the original permitted one imaG-
NATIVE Yank to close his eyes half
shut today and declare that the effect
was of steaming into New York har-
Dor with the gigantic goddess looming
up inthe distance. And while he was
looking up, enjoying this odd effect,
several large gulps could be distin-
guished as they passed down his
throat. .. ....
