Detachable Milk Drinks.

Did you ever take time to steal
into a soft drink establishment, sit
in a secluded corner and observe the
large number of beverages containing
milk that are ordered? The choco-
late milk shake which is a universal
favorite could be prepared at home by
using tumbler and deep shaker, such
as can be secured at any kitchen fur
nishing store. Sometimes children re-
fuse to take plain milk. The aversion
can frequently be overcome by allow
ing them to drink it through a straw,
giving it more the appearance of the
soda fountain beverage. In addition
to the ,plain milk which every child
should have daily. milk soups and
sauces may he used, while custards
and other buildings will utilize still
more of it.

Food Value of Raisins.

"Raisins are served on the Battle
Creek sanatorium table every day. A
pound of raisins has twice the food
value, an equal amount of iron and
seven times as much food lime as q
pound of the choicest lean steak. The
sugar of raisins is much more whole

digestion and being absorbed in one

sugar. If the American people would

Germany has an enormous war debt,
and the indemnity will be very heavy
addition to this. But If it cannot pay
both debt and indemnity it can scale
down the debt, says Philadelphia Rec
ord. The people will not be worse Oft
then than the people Of France, and
possibly those Of England and Italy.
The Germans have been paying almost
nothing in the way Of war taxes, and
they will have to begin now what Eng.
lishmen have been doing for four years
and. Americans for two, and French
men and Italians have been doing on
smaller scale for four years. The Ger
man army will cost little, and the navy
and colonies will cost nothing. and
these will go far toward paying the in
demnity. But; Germany has got to stop
issuing paper moneys and raise money
by taxation, or it. will become bank
rupt in the near future.

Patience is one Of those graces Of
the spirit that is indispensable to the
Christian. character. There is whole
book of the Bible devoted to this grace.
But outside Of all religious considera-
ton, in it's technical sense patience is
one Of the most practical and effective
Of the virtues. 1t does great deal to-
ward the making Of q true man. 1t in
dicates strength and poise Of charac-
ter that give one faith in the man who
reflects this virtue, says Ohio State
Journal. One cannot have faith in a
man who is constantly fretting and
Tuning. 1t shows him to be sort Of
feather driven about by the wind and
impossible to tie to. Religion without
patience is a diluted article. Citizen
ship is very much concerned In this
grace. The impatient citizen is al
ways getting himself and others in
trouble. He has not a particle Of re-
spect for the axioms Of life, and is
therefore wavering, inconstant and I'M
reliable. He must needs be watched,
and If he is a religious man, his reli-
gion is to be doubted.

A Turkish delegation came to Paris
all primed to argue and dicker about
concessions" that Turkey might make
in order to get peace. It is now report
ed that the delegation has been politely
advised to go home. Had the attitude
of the Turks been less preposterous
they might have been permitted to re-
main and answer questions. OF all the
people that have striven to gain free
dom from Turkish tyranny only one,
the Armenians, were to be granted in
dependence. From a Turkish view
point such a CONCESSION" might have
appeared generous enough. The trou-
BILE is that Turkey is in no position to
offer concessions of any kind. The lit
tie new Turkey will be all Turkish just
as the little Austria will be all Aus
trian and the little new Hungary all
Magyar, says Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Germany and Bulgaria fare better, in
asmuch as antebellum Germany was
mostly German and ante-bellum Bull
garia almost wholly Bulgar.

BELGIUM RkDiVivua,

A recent report fro1a a reliable Lon
don source is to the effect that the re-
pair Of the Belgian railway system is
now complete and that these roads are
now operating as efficiently as in 1914
At the conclusion Of hostilities the Bel
gian transport situation was a deplor-
able. lone, the railroad lines not de-
stroyed entirely being in very poor con-
dition. Other items from Belgium are
also encouraging: Coal is now being
produced in prewar quantities and the
output Of sugar for the current year is
expected to exceed the prewar average
by some 30 per cent. The output Of the
factories generally now runs about 60
per cent Of the 1914 production, which,
when everything is considered, must be
adjudged fairly good showing. In
dustrial recovery Of this sort, along
with the adoption. Of sound banking
and fiscal policies, is what is most
needed for the improvement Of the ex-
changes.

Celebration Of Spring.

Celebration Of Spring.
Investigation of scholars has dis
closed grounds for the belief that the
event celebrated by Purim is none 9th
er than the coming of spring. The
character of the festival is unmistak-
able, in the belief of searchers. Its
occurrence in the middle of the last
month of the winter points to it's be-
ing the beginning Of the celebration
of the conquest of the winter by the
youthful sun-god Of the spring-as
Marduk (Mordecai) is regarded in va
rious Babylonian myths. Even rab-
binical exegesis connected Esther with
the planet Venus and the Babylonian
goddess Ishtar, particularly since it
has been shown that the queen of Per-
sia at the date given for the plot Of
Hannah was not Esther At all, but
Amestris, the daughter Of z Persian
general.

OF the things that convention requires
us to remember in our manners at the

The salad is cut with the side Of the
fork and then eaten from the side Of
the fork.
Fish, soft entrees and, in fact, any,
thing that does not absolutely demand
the use of knife, are separated into
small pieces by the use of the: fork,
