1S &WI vttpif SVK .w W-:r- :v:s.v 111'1 f, $ its' Fgt TOT This is the first of a series of articles which will describe house hold conveniences. The differ ence between the tired, over worked housekeeper and one who has some time and energy left for reading and recreation after the day's work is done, often may be accounted for by the kind of equipment used in the kitch en. Under the direction of State and county home-demonstration agents of the United States De partment of Agriculture, home conveniences already have been installed in several 'thousand country homes. Such conveniences not only effect a real savinp in the work of the home, but they help the farm woman to get a greater amount of happiness out of her daily tasks. Many of the improvements that will be de scribed can be used a£ well in village and city homes. A kitchen cabinet is just as impor tant to the housekeeper as the bench .to the workman or the laboratory desk to the chemist. With it the house keeper can sit down comfortably with her whole kitchen workshop easily within her reach. It saves walking to and fro to gather this thing and that to prepare the food. And every kitch en should have a stool of the right height to enable the worker to sit at her work at the cabinet. The home made cabinet shown in the illustra tion is sanitary, convenient, and at tractive. It is especially suitable and compact for kitchens in which space is limited. A homemade cabinet can bo built with moderate expense if outside la bor need not be employed. If both lumber and labor must be purchased, the cost will equal that of a ready made cabinet. The cabinet must be made of good wood, well seasoned. That is the most important consid eration. Poorly seasoned wood warps and swell and is a constant anoy ance in opening and closing doors and drawers. Dimensions of the Cabinet The cabinet shown in the illustra tion is 6 feet 3 inches high to the top of the closet, 31 inches high to the top of the table. It is 21 inchcs deep and 48 inches wide. The part of the cabinet below the table contains the flour bin, large drawer, rack, and dough or pastry board. The bin is fastened to the frame with loose-pin hinges. By removing the pins the entire bin can be removed, cleaned, and replaced. The bin can be lined with tin to make it moisture, insect, and mouse proof. The dough board should be made of a wood that is tasteless and odorless and should be fitted well in the opening just below the table. A batten is tongued and grooved on each side of the board to prevent it from warping. The roomy drawer can be used for small uten sils. The open space below the draw er can be occupied by the kitchen stool or the homemade tireless cooker when they are not in use. Pie pans, lids, and covers have a most convenient place in the rack below the drawer. A drop table 21 inches wide and 19 inches long in creases the table surface. This table is supported by inexpensive folding brackets. Provisions For Many Things The upper part of the cabinet con sists of a closed compartment, three drawers, three open shelves, knife rack, and row of screw hooks for hanging utensils. The closed com partment is for package goods and large utensils. The drawers are for kitchen linen and other things needed In daily use. The lower shelf is 5 inches in depth, while the upper The Housewife and the War (Bptcltl Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) CABINET IS HOUSEWIFE'S WORKING PARTNER.

HANDY WITH TOOLS?—MAKE THIS LABOR-SAVER Many Unnecessary Steps Vanish With Such a Kitchen Helper—Well-Sea soned Wood a Requirement—A Convenience Especially Suit able Where Space Is Limited shelsev are 7 1-2 inches. On these shelves are kept coffee, tea, sugar, and spice jars. Three inches below the lower shelf is a strip 1 1-2 inches wide which holds the screw hooks.1 The knife rack is made by sawing slashes 1 inch deep in a piece of ma terial 2 inches wide. The cabinet is finished with two coats of white paint and one coat of white enamle. It can be easily kept clean and sanitary. Metal or wooden handles may be used. Apple Scrapple—Mighty Good Fried apples are good with fried scrapple. Yes, answers the healthy appetite, even though it be not ac quainted with friend scrapple. Every cook knows how to fry apples, many do not know much about scrapple. Well, here's how to make scrapple— excellent at any meal: Ingredients Whole hog heads, 10 pounds. Hog livers and hearts, 2 1-2 lbs. (A small quantity of beef can be used also if desired.) Corn meal (yellow or mixed) 6 pounds. Buckwheat or rye flour, 1-2 pound. Spices, as marjoram, sage, thyme, and pepper in proportion as desired, or omit those not desired, 3 ounces. Salt, 1-2 pound. Liquid in which meat is boiled use a quantity equal to the total weight of the combined solids. The proportion of ingredients may be varied to individual taste. Directions For Preparing Clean the hog heads thoroughly, removing the eyes and ear tubes. Split the head lengthwise and remove the teeth and soft bones in and near the naval cavities. Place the hog SAVE A LITTLE SUGAR TODAY IV. Candy at Meal Time Only Candy is a concentrated food, and should be eaten with moder ation. Though we like it, it is not a necessity. It is always best to eat candy as a part of the meal to replace some other food. Eating it between meals not only means needless use of sugar, but often causes a loss of appetite for other foods. Apply this sug gestion to the children. If they are to eat candy it should be a part of the meal. Between meals let them have bread and butter, a cracker, or fruit. heads and other meat into a large kettle or caldron with a liberal quan-1 tity of water and cook until the meat falls off the bones. Remove all of the meat and soft tissues from the bones and chop the meat by passing it thru a meat grinder. Strain the cooking liquid to remove any small pieces of bone. Place the liquid back into the kettle. Heat to boiling point, at which time slowly adJ the meal and flour, and stir constantly to prevent' the meal from forming into lumps and also to avoid scorching. Boil and stir until the mass becomes thick, and then add the salt, spices, and chopped meat. Boil ten minutes, and while still hot, pour the product into deep wet molds—'bread pans will do. Pour 2 to 4 large spoonfulls of melted lard over the product in the pans. As soon as the product has cooled it is ready for use. The usual way of serving scrapple is to cut it into slices about one-half inch thick, dust the slices with flour or cracker dust, or dry corn meal, and fry until the outside is somewhat crisp. Serve hot. By varying the kinds of cereals used and preparing them in different ways the family will not tire of them, and they can be used in larger quan tities. ill State Department Archives at Washington Record the Story of Sissonne.

The universally condemned Ger* man system of extorting money from captured communities is shown by the following documents published by the committee on public informal Hon: A striking illustration of the, fierce brutality of German methods is con tained In the archives of the state de partment, because the prince of Mon aco appealed to President Wilson against the injustice of a fine imposed upou a small and impoverished vil lage. The following documents from the state department archives tell the story. They need no comments. "Paris, Oct. 27, 1914. "Secretary of State, Washington. "Prince of Monaco called this mora* Ing and asked that the following case be submitted to the president: "Prince states that General von Buelow for weeks has been inhabiting prince's ancestral chateau near Reims, historical monument, contain ing works of art and family heir looms that Von Buelow has Imposed fine of 500.000 francs on village of Sissonne some miles distant from chat eau, because of broken glass found on road near village. Sissonne being un able alone to pay has raised with a number of other neighboring villages 125,000 francs, but Von Buelow hasi sent two messengers from Sissonne toj prince that unless latter pays fine fori Sissonne the chateau and adjoining Til-, lage, as well as Sissonne, will be de! stroyed on November 1st.

"It has been conclusively proven that the road between Sissonne and the railway station of Montaigu was, on September 18th, strewn with broken glass along a distance of one kilome ter and at intervals of 50 meters, for the purpose,, no doubt, of Impeding automobile traffic. "I hold the commune of Sissonne, responsible for this act of hostility on the part of its Inhabitants, and I: punish the said community by upon it a contribution of 500,000 francs (five /hundred thousand francs). "This sum must be entirely paid into the treasury of the Etape by Oc tober 15th. "The inspection of the Etape now at Montcornet has been directed to enforce execution of this order. "The General Commander in Chief or the Army, "VON BUELOW." Protest of Prince of Monaco. Monaco, Oct, 22nd, 1914. "Sire: "I forward to your majesty several documents relating to a very grave, and urgent matter.

"As a sovereign prince, I wish to deal in this matter with the sovereign who, during 15 years, called me his friend and has decorated me with the Order of the Knight of the Black Eagle. "My conscience and my dignity place me above fear, as also my per sonal will shall elevate me above re gret but should you destroy the Chateau de Marchais, which Is one of the centers of universal science and charity, should you reserve to this archaeological and historical gem the treatment you have given to the Ca thedral of Reims—when no reprehen sible action has been committed there —the whole world will judge be tween you and myself. "I tender to your excellency the ex pression of my high regard. "ALBERT, Sovereign Prince of Mon aco." Deportations and Forced Labor. Until the present war the whole civ ilized world has boasted of its advance In humanity. This advance has been marked in many fields, and in none had greater progress been made than in the protection to be given to the private citizen In an invaded country. As far back as 1863, in the "Instruc tions for the Government of Armies of the United States in the Field,1 the United States declared: "23. Private citizens are no longer murdered, enslaved, or carried off to distant parts, and the inoffensive in dividual is as little disturbed in his private relations as the commander of the hostile troops can afford to grant In the overruling demands of a vigorous war. "24. The almost universal rule In remote times was, and continues to be with barbarous armies, that the pri vate Individual of the hostile country Is destined to suffer every privation of liberty and protection, and every disruption of family ties. Protection was, and still is with uncivilized peo ple, the exception." Reversion to Barbarism. These declarations were made in the midst of our Civil war—one of the world's fiercest conflicts. A half-cen tury later, after more than 50 years of progress, the German government has gone back to the methods used by "barbarous armies" and "unciv ilized people." It has deliberately adopted the policy of deporting men and women, boys and girls, and of forcing them to work for their cap tors it has even compelled them to make arms and munitions for use against their allies and their own flesh and blood. No other act of the German govern ment has aroused such horror and de testation throughout the civilized world. Thousands of helpless men and women, boys and girls, have been enslaved. Families have been broken up. Girls have been carried off to work—or worse—in a strange land, and their relatives have not known where they have been taken, or what their fate has been. This system of forced labor and de portation embraced the whole of Bel gium, Poland and the occupied land* of France. Whitlock's Story of Horrors. In less moving phrases, but in dead ly. corroboration, the continuation of the report of Minister Whitlock says: "The rage, the terror, and despair excited by this measure all over Bel gium were beyond anything we had witnessed since the day the Germans poured into Brussels. The delegates of the commission for relief in Bel gium, Returning to Brussels, told the most distressing stories of the scenes of cruelty and sorrow attending the seizures. And daily, hourly almost, since that time appalling stories have been related by Belgians coming to the legation. It is impossible for us to verify them, first because it is nec essary for us to exercise all possible tact in dealing with the subject at all, and secondly because there is no means of communication between the Occupations-Gebiet and the Etappen Gebiet. Transportation everywhere in Belgium is difficult, the vicinal railways scarcely operating any more because of the lack of oil, while all the horses have been taken. The peo ple who are forced to go from one village to another must do so on foot or in vans drawn by the few miser able horses that are left. The wagons of the breweries, the one institution that the Germans I (have scrupulously respected, are hauled by oxen. One of Foulest Deeds in History. "The well-known tendency of sensa tional reports to exaggerate them selves, especially in time of war, aud in a situation, like that existing here, with no newspapers to serve as a daily clearing house for all the rumors that are as avidly believed as they are eagerly repeated, should of course be considered but even if a modicum of all that is told is true there still re mains enough to stainp his deeds as one of the foulest tliut history records. "I am constantly in receipt of re ports from all over Belgium that tend to bear out the stories one constantly hears of brutality and cruelty. A num-! ber of men sent back to Mons are said to be in a dying condition, many of them tubercular. At Malines and at Antwety returned men have died, their friends asserting that they have been victims of neglect and cruelty* of cold, of exposure, of hunger." Last Friday officials and ex-offi cials of the First National Bank of Fargo, stood in line and received hun dreds of Fargoans on the fortieth an niversary of the founding of that in stitution. Flowers were distributed to the guests by Lois Lane Felger and Genevieve Eddy, great grand children of the late E. B. Eddy, first president of the bank. Fargo reports a steady growth in building operations and during the last month, more building permits were taken out than in the same month, 1917. Open weather is given as the reason for this increased in dustry in the building line. Farmers generally are pleased at $2.20, the price fixed for the 1918 crop of wheat. Some however have been asking exorbitant prices and feel that they should have much more, but have not as yet indicated or shown any good sufficient reason why the president should again dis arrange the workings of his various departments in order to satisfy those who are asking the higher prices.
