GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
HOPE PEACE PLEA WINS
Charles Says War Would End if Belli
gerents Would Enter Into Ne
gotiations.
Amsterdam, Sept. 22. —The German
government, in its reply to the peace
note of Pope Benedict, a copy of which
has been received here, “cherishes a
lively desire” that the appeal may
meet with success.
Emperor William, the German note
says, has been following the efforts
of the pope toward peace for a con
siderable time with high respect.
The text of the German reply reads:
“Herr Cardinal: Your eminence has
been good enough, together with your
letter of August 2, to transmit to the
kaiser and king, my most gracious
master, the note of his holiness, the
pope, in which his holiness, filled with
grief at the devastations of the
world war, makes an emphatic peace
appeal to the heads of the belligerent
peoples. The kaiser-king has deigned
to acquaint me with your eminence’s
letter and to intrust the reply to me.
“His majesty has been following for
a considerable time with high respect
and sincere gratitude his holiness’ ef
forts in a spirit of true impartiality
to alleviate as far as possible the suf
ferings of the war and to hasten the
end of hostilities. The kaiser sees in
the latest step of his holiness fresh
proof of his noble and humane feel
ings, and cherishes a lively desire that
for the benefit of the entire world the
papal appeal may meet with success.”
The text of the German reply In part
reads:
“Holy Father: With due venera
tion and deep emotion we take cog
nisance of the new representations
your holiness, in fulfillment of the
holy oftlce intrusted you by God, make
m us and the heads of the other bel
ligerent states with the noble inten
tion of leading the heavily tried na
tions to a unity that will restore peace
to them.
“With a thankful heart we received
this fresh gift of fatherly care which
you, holy father, always bestow on
all peoples without distinction, and
*£rom the depth of our heart we greet
the moving exhortation which your
holiness has addressed to the gov
ernments of the belligerent peoples.
“During this cruel war we have al
ways looked up to your holiness as
to the highest personage who, in vir
tue of his mission, which reaches be
yond earthly things and, thanks to
the high conception of his duties laid
upon him, stands high above the bel
ligerent peoples and who is inaccessi
ble to all influence, was able to find
a way which may lead to the real
ization of our own desire for peace,
lasting and honorable for all parties.”

' The Name Is Troco
This product is called Troco. It is made in Mil

model modern creamery.
Wc use the identical process which is used in
Europe, where this new delicacy was created.
Any grocer will supply it to you under this
guarantee:
“If one pound of Troco fails to prove itself
the best article you ever tasted in place of but
ter, we will gladly return your money. ”
Mode from Cocoanuts
The usual oleomargarine is made, as you know,
from beef fat, hog fat and often cotton seed oil. It
is churned with milk, as Troco is, to give it butter
flavor.
It is a cleanly, healthful product. But lard and
oleo and cotton seed oil seem uninviting spreads.
That’s why so many cling to butter, despite the
butter cost.
But Troco comes from the white meat of the
cocoanut. No food in the world is more appealing.
T\ T7TfTVT ‘VT/'VITIT’ Order a pound or two of Troco

PNEUMONIA, THE AIR-RAIDER
From the Extension Division of the
University of Wisconsin.
H. E. Deaxholt. M. D., Director
A ruthless campaign, similar in char
acter to the airplain raids of Prussian
ism, is being carried on against the
people of Wisconsin by pneumonia.
Partly because of Wisconsin’s success
ful eight years’ war against tuberculo
sis, but partly, also, because of a very
real rise in the number of victims being
Struck down by pneumonia, this latter
disease has outrun the White Plague as
a cause of death.
While the tuberculosis death rate has
been declining in the past eight or ten
years, the pneumonia death rate has
changed, too. In some years, it has
been only a little, in other years a great
deal, but always climbing upward.
During 1915 and 1916, more people died
from pneumonia in Wisconsin than
from any other single cause. The
enormous rise in 1916, especially, has
puzzled physicians and interested lay
man. Yet, pneumonia is an infectious
germ disease, and therefore is largely
preventable. *
For its spread two conditions are
necessary: the presence of the germ,
and the presence of an individual whose
resistance is sufficiently lowered to
permit the germs to make a successful
attack. The latter is by far the more

i uportaut requirement. Pneumonia
germs are almost always present. It is
only when they find a victim whose im
paired resistance makes him good soil
for infection, that they work havoc.
Good rules for avoiding pneumonia
are the simple rules of health. First,
keep away from those who have the
disease; second, .furnish your body
with fighting strength against the
germs in case they do gain entrance.
Put up a stubborn fight against care
less spitting, coughing and sneezing.
Beware of predisposing conditions such
aS' common colds and excesses of all
kinds. Hospital records show that the
death rate among alcoholics is especial
ly high; the confirmed smoker,, whose
nose and throat are irritated by tocacco
fumes, makes relatively an easy victim,
v Get plenty of rest, plenty of exercise,
and above all, plenty of fresh air. In
crowded street cars or in congested,
close places of any kind, pneumonia
finds ideal conditions for spreading.
Avoid dangerous but live in
fresh air, work in fresh air, sleep in
fresh air, and help to reduce the pneu
monia rate in 1917 and 1918.

which Mr Vogt donated and nicely
decorated in honor of these boys:
Willie- Poad, Mjke Zwiersk, Stanley
% Mazcnis, Tom Hughes, Tom Evans,
Wesley Negus, Joe Homer, Ernest
Fanil and Carl Gillman, who left on
Saturday morning for Camp Grant,
Rockford. A fine program was carried
out and the large crowd present, although
with a feeling of sadness, enjoyed the
entertainment. The Linden band of
which all Linden | people are proud,
furnished patriotic! music throughout
the evening. Speeches were made by
J. P. Williams, John W. Taylor, L. G.
Hoskin and Mrs W. J. Hillary,
secretary gave a report of the Red
Cross society up to date. Mrs Arch
president, gave a talk on the
Red Cross work and presented each of
the boys present with a comfort kit,
after which the soldier boys, band,
speakers were served with ice-cream,
cake and coffee. Then the Red Cross
members sotS ice cream. to the other
people present. The donations that

were $16.75.
Mrs Arch Glanville entertained the
C. C. club on Friday gening.

! where he will work this winter.
It has the same food value as butter. It looks and
tastes like butter. And you rarely find a butter so
pure and sweet as Troco.
Greater Economy
/
Troco costs about the same as high-grade oleo
margarine. Its use will save you much, as com
pared with butter at the average price.
You sacrifice nothing whatever. You get no
lard, no oleo in it. You get no cotton seed oil. You
get nothing but the fat of the cocoanut, churned
with milk and salted.
For your own sake, try one pound. It will be a
revelation. If you are not delighted, get your
money back.
'
Notice: Under the law, all butter substitutes
must be branded Oleomargarine. That law was
passed before Troco was invented. So the Troco
package is branded “Oleomargarine” though there
is no oleo in it. ,
All butter substitutes must also pay an extra tax
if colored. So the color for Troco comes in a cap
sule. Add it yourself, as you do with oleomargarine.
