Bankers start Campaign to Deprcciate the New Currency. the Gold Basis Mark.

Dusseldorf, Feb. t5.--The banker. and money changers Of this city have started a campaign to depreciate The new currency the gold basis mark: they would like to see it fluetuate as wildly as has the paper mark, for only in instability do they find good profits.
 So song ss the gold mark keeps q semblance Of stability the money changers have to deal on small mar gin. but once it begins 10 slide in value the margins of profit can be fixed arnitrarily. This introduces more of the element of chance. but that Is what most of fhe sidewalk money changers thrive on,
 While the paper mark was falling fastest these fly-by-night "bankers'' made their greatest profits. The Levy Brothers, for example, started bnsi- ress here in midsummer selling marks over a good box counter in the corner Of grocery store. Today they have three branches in different parts of the city, in front Of each Of which shines 8 brilliant electric sign adyer- Using the purchase and sale Of for eign money.
 Business is terrible" said Mir Levy to customer the other day. "But we hope it will get better one of these days; the gold mark may be- gin to fall soon"

Plan Of Trays.
There are three lattice partitions in
the house, making four sections 81
inches wide for drying trays; II
inches above the sill place across
piece 2 by 4 inches on which the cen

upright, by 4 inches, rest. (Put up

tray bearers, l by 3-inch strips, are
fastened to the uprights. The space
between the tray bearers is filled with
pinch strips to act as guides for the
trays and to force the draft to circu-
late between the trays. If these
spaces are left open they will act as
1ue and carry off the heat. The sides
of the trays are of y by 3-inch lum-
ber, making the trays inches deep.
The bottom of the tray is made of lat
tlce strips IS by 1 4 inches, with 1-inch
space between the strips running
lengthwise. The trays have a center
partition to support the bottom laths
and cheesecloth is used to cover the
laths. There are 8 inches from the

BACON IN SANDWICH
WILL HELP FLAVOR
Especially Appetizing When
Serued at a Picnic.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
What to put in the sandwiches for
school or office is a constantly recur-
ring problem. Almost everybody likes
bacon-it is usually on hand and 1t
may be prepared in very few min
utes. Why not use it occasionally in
sandwiches? suggests the United States
Department of Agriculture. When
time is short, plain bacon sandwiches,
consisting of bread and two or three
slices of crisp-cooked bacon, can be
put together in a very few minutes.
Bacon sandwiches out-of-doorS can be
made wherever ones picnic party hap
pens to be. The bacon can be toasted
over a fire in the woods, each person
cooking his own pieces with the aid of
a forked stick; and either because of
the jollity of the occasion, or the good
flavor of the bacon, or the special taste
given by the wood fire, the sandwiches
will seem to be the best one has ever
eaten.
Sliced onion or pickle in a bacon
sandwich gives an acceptable hayor.
Various kinds of "club" sandwiches are
made, all of them including bacon as
one of the chief ingredients. A chicken
club sandwich is commonly made with
three pieces of toasted bread as a
basis, and between these two filings
consisting of lettuce, bacon, tomato
and sliced chicken, with salad dress
ing. Veal or other cold meat makes
n palatable filling in club sandwich
These sandwiches are bulky and are
intended to be served on a plate and
eaten with q knife and fork. They
constitute the main dish for luncheon
or supper, but as they are ordinarily
made with toast they are not so suit
able for packing in lunch box to be
eaten several hours later.
Bacon and cottage cheese combine
well in sandwiches, either of plain
bread or toast. Eggs and bacon can
be made as acceptable in sandwiches
as when served together for breakfast.
The egg may be scrambled and mixed
during cooking with the bacon cut up
in small pieces, or 1t may be hard
boiled. minced and mixed with the -ba-
con when being put into the sand
wiches. Liver and bacon sandwiches
are made by chopping the liver to
paste, seasoning it with salt, pepper
and small pieces of bacon, and using
the mixture as a sandwich filling. Ba-
con may be added to give zest to any
cold meat used in sandwiches. If the
sandwich can be served while the la
con is hot, the result is particularly
good. A little salad dressing is needed
on the meat. Lettuce, watercress, eel
cry or tomato may be added, making
result similar to a club sandwich
except that bread is used Instead OF
toast.

Community driers or evaporators
have proved of great value in taking
extra work out of the house during
the busy season. small but salts
factory cooperative drier may be
built by the following directions,
which are recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture
The thermos or fireless cooker prin-
ciple is used in this drier; that is, a
space of three or four inches is al
lowed between the walls of the house,
to be filled with sawdust. This holds
the heat and relieves the necessity of
a constant watch over the fire. The
furnace should be placed at the op-
posite end from the door and a stove
pipe run from furnace end to the door
end and back with sufficient elevation
to cause good draft. A drier of this
size and type should, with good man
agement, dry from four to six bushels
a day, and should pay for itself in one
season. Wet weather has no effect on
this type of drier.
