BRITISH PEERESSES
Even Democratic Sammy Is Shocked
When Noble Women, "Doing Bit"
Walt on Him.
"By Jove, I nover felt moro like an
ass in my 11 to, old chap." It was an
old British colonel speaking. Ho had
Just returned from a government mis'
slon to tfio colonics, and seated boforo
a groat open firo of bis London club,
ho was relating to a crony some of his
experiences while away. "It was whllo
I was in Sydney. Knew a cbnp out
thero and thought I'd drop in on him.
I JWalkcd up to tho liouso and rang tho
bell. Dcucedly pretty maid answered,
and, by Jovo, bo strong was tho forco
of habit, don't you know, I up and
kissed her before I realized she was
my own nieco."
And don't think for a mlnuto that
tho old colonel's experience- was uni
que, except in a few minor details.
Others may not have developed such
oscillatory habits, but many an officer
has come back from tho front and
found his women folk working as (10
mestics In London. Tho pretty young
women ono sees polishing the wood
work of tho hospital waiting room or
busily dusting lite furniture ot iho
club parlor .may be a duchess or
countess or the daughter of a million
aire wine merchant. There's no tell
ing these days, and tho Lnfill' h pub
lic Is so accustomed to being united
upon by Its gentlewomen that It lias
icomo to accept it s a matter of
course.
Not so the Sammy, though. He'd bo
the first to resent the charge of be
ing undemocratic, but still tho
thought ot being served by ono of tho
"Four Hundred" Is almost too much
for him. Ho was a pretty fresh young
man when ho first hit England. Ho
had a reputation for brcezlncss to up
.hold and by the spike of Heinle's hat,
he was going to live up to it. But
when ho learned that tho young wom
an servant" was the daughter of ono of
tho peers of the realm he wilted.
For ono "may find tho English gen-,
tlewoman any place, and doing any,
kind ot menial labor. Sho isn't the
petted and pampered hothouse prod
uct popular novelists would havo ono
be'liove. Instead, she's a mighty sen
sible, Industrious, patriotic person.
Her bi others and sweetheart are "out
there" doing their bit, and sho is
working plying the dust cloth ad
mop, washing dishes, answering doors
and doing the thousand and one other
things that have to be done.
BIRD l RINGS DURGLAR ALARM.
Seems to Take Delight In Tapping the
Bank's Gong.
Lewlstown, Pa. A mischievous bird
known as the flicker, belonging to the
woodpecker family, has taken a fancy
to sounding a burglar alarm over the
First National bank at Wrlghtsvllle.
The first time or two the bird indulg
ed In this prank it caused a stir in
the neighborhood. .It is thought that
In the first place an insect on the sur
face ot tho -gong was pecked by the
bird and in this way tho bird be
came acquainted With the musical
-qualities of the bell. The beating of
the bird's hill on the bell produces a
eoucd exactly like that pioduced by
the electric tapper of tho gong.
Find Their Comrades Crucified By
'Germans.
Soldiers nailed to a barn, stark nak
ed and horribly mutilated; young wo
men crucified, to the doors of their
homes, some nailed up by the hands,
others by the feet with the head hang
ing downwnrd; still others torturea
and mistreated
These are some of the scenes which
greeted the Canadian soldiers when
they captured a sniallvillnge fiom the
"Germans early In the war, according
to George Ellis, a British soldler'who
was woupded and discharged and who
now is llvlngjn New York. Incident
ally, Ellis reveals wl?y the Canadians
are so feared by tho Germans.
"During the first days ot the Battle
of the Somme," Ellis says, "we cap
lured a small village. The Canadians
led the advance and about the first
thing that met their eyes were five
Canadians, who had been captured by
the Germans, nailed to a barn, stark
naked and horribly mutilated. They
had been crucified by the German cap
tors and left to hang thero In agony
till they died.
"The Canadians swore they would
never tnke a prisoner and every Can
adian detachment that goes to Franco
is hound by Oio same oath. They live
up to It, anil the Germans fear them.
"In the same village where the Can
adians found their comrades crucified
I and the men in my company found
n number of young gills nnlleu to tho
doors of their own homes. Every
stitch ot clothing had been torn off
them. Somo were ifll?d up by tho
hands and others by the feet, head
downwards. This Is the truth, as
scores ot us know.
"As wo pushed on we encountered
hundreds of women who had been
tortured and .mutilated. Thero is not
a city taken by the Germans where
they have not practiced the most ap
palling atrppltlcs and fiom evidence
In my possession, I urn, certain In tho
majority of cases the ef'Icers were the
first offenders. We, found counllesq
numbora of bodies of young glils lit
tering tho streets of villages and fieldB
through which wo passed as we push
ed tho German's back.
"Tho French laugh at talk of an
honornble-peace. UJg not possjblo to

Boches ore allowed to Jive."

FOR MEATLESS DAY
Sweet Potato' Loaf Boil and mash
the small sweet potatoes, add salt,
butter, dash or pepper, with a little
sugar. Mix well and form into oval
shape, roll in egg and crumbs and
put in greased pan. Bake in oven
until browned.
Nut Loaf One and one-half cups
soft bread crumbs, one tablespoon
minced onion, one-half . tablespoon
poultry seasoning, two "tablespoons
melted butter, ono tablespoon salt,
one cup ground peanuts,- one egg.
Mix together thoroughly, form in
loaf, bake about forty-five minutes.
Baste with two tablespoons butter in
one-half cup boiling water. Serve
hot or cold, and makes excellent
sandwiches.
Home-Madc Noodles and Cottage
Cheese As cottage cheese is plenti
ful and cheap, it-makes a dandy meal
for meatless days. Take one pound
flour, one beaten egg, pinch of salt
and enough water to make a good
stiff dough. Knead it well on bread
board till nice and smooth, then roll
it out thin and cut it into broad
noodles. Cook in boiling water about
eight minutes, rinse them in three
waters (cold). That makes them
firm. Melt two tablespoons butter
till brown, heat noodles in it, stir
ring them over fire till good and hot;
take off fire and add one-half pound
cottage cheese and pinch of salt.
Stir cheese in evenly and serve.
The dry cottage cheese is cheaper
and better for this dish, but the
cream-mixed may be used also, only
you-use less butter. Oleomargarine
may be substituted for butter. Mac
aroni can be used in place of noodles.
Jungle Stew Soak one cup red
kidney beans over night, then cook
in salted water until tender. Add
ope can tomatoes. Fry medium
sized onion in four tablespoons drip
pings and add to tomatoes and beans.
When mixture is boiling rapidly add
one cup raw macaroni and sufficient
salt. Cook until macaroni is done
and add one tablespoon. chili powder
or paprika. The latter may be
omitted, but the stew is improved by
its addition.

Fashion's Latest Decrees
It seems u fur cry from tho
trenches to Fifth avenue, but olio has
only to stroll along that famous thor
oughfare nny pleasniit afternoon to
observe to what iin extent; the war
linn affected the new fashions.
JIats are suggestive of the now
tniuous "tin" helmets worn by tho
Allies on the Western front; coat col
tars suggest to the mind of the ob
server the close-llttlng throat cover
ing seen In the uniforms of the Eng
lish "Tommy;" niul suits themselves
nie stilklngly akin In their general
effect to tho tilm-llttlng uniforms
worn by the officers of both Allied
armies and our own.
Of lute there has appeared a military-looking
costume of material hnd
color similar to the trig-looking mil?
forms worn by officers of tho Cana
dian Aniutlon Corps. 'Even the odd,
but attractive-looking, cloth bonnets
worn with these uniforms are dupli
cated In the headgear worn by Milady
with these costumes, in material as
well as In shape. One has only to
note the lurgc number of women who
are now v. arlng these military-looking
coats nud costumes to realize to
What an extent the cruzc for anything
pertaining to the military has swept
through the land.
The advent) of theso various mili
tary models should prove a blessing
to women In general, since they one
and all present clear-cut body lines,
which in turn call for unusual care on
the part of their wearers in the selec

Y RIFLE
ORE OF MOST POWERFUL
Uncle Sam's Firearm Will Put Bullet
Through 30 Indies of Solid Oak
at 100 Yards.
Considering the fact that a laigo
number of men will soon be going
tjirougli the motions of tho manual of
aims and, learning how to shoot the
Aimy rlfle.I bollcvo that a short talk
on -the rifle which Is in uso by tho
United States government at present
may be of Interostrwrltes Alfiead
1 Lume.
Tho United States rifle, callbio SO,
model of 1903, us It Is officially desig
nated, is a bolt action repealing riflo.
The action Is an Improved fouu of the
tegular Mauser action. It consists of a
bolt which contains the filing mechan
ism and made with a handlo at tho
rear end and locking lugs at the for
ward end. To woil: It, lift up on the
handle which lotntes the bolt and un
locks it, then pull It stiaighl back and
empty cartridge will be ejected If ou
have fired the lltle.
Pushing it straight fuiwatd carries
a new cartridge Into the chamber and
tuining the handle down to Its orig
inal position seats the locking lugs In
their recesses and finishes cocking the
filing mechanism.
The safety Is a thumb piece ut the
back end of the bolt mnikcd on one
side "ready" and on the other "safe."
Turning It all the way over so that
"safe" appeals locks the action, and
the mechanism; putting It in a verti
cal position locks the tiling mechan
ism but peimlts the action to be
worked. This position Is useful In
unloading the magazine If it is not de
sired to shoot the cartiidges.
The sight consists of'a folding slide
which, when In the tipiight position,
gives sightings for distances up to 2,
830 yaids. When folded down In the
to called "baltls sight" po.iUoh, it is
sighted upp.oNlniately concct for 540
yards. 1'i.iclically all military lifles
nie made with the band . ell covered
with wood nearly to the muzzle. This
is done to piotcct It In lough usage
and als to piolecl the hand of the
toliller in continued firing, as the bar
lei gets erj hot.
Heie Is a condensed table of inter
esting facts about our national arm:
Length over all, 43 inches.
Weight of rifle without U.i onet, SJ4
pounds.
Caliber, 30 inch.
Length of bairel, 24 inches.
Powder pressuie about 51,000
pounds per squaie Inch.
Speed of bullet, 2,700 feet per sec
ond. Maximum lange, 4,891 yards.
Tho government riile will penetiate
oer one-half Inch of boiler plate at 50
feet and at 100 yaids will penetrate
5S inches ot brick wall or over 30
inches of solid oak, and will drive
through 10 inches of white pine at-1,-000
yards:
Food and Digestion.
Sir Bay Lankester, the eminent Lag
lish scientist, wilting in the London
Telegraph, tells us that robust people,
so long as they eat what suits their
own uncultivated taste, are apt to
make ery light of what they call "fan
ciest about food and oerlopk theii
leal impoitance. Feeding on "the pait
of clvilUed man is not the simple pio
cedure which it is with animals, al
though many animals are pa: ticul.it
as to their food and what hi called
"dainty." The necessity for civilized
man of cheeiful company at his nie.il
and for the absence of mental anxiety
Is unlvei sally leccgnized, as well as
the impoitance of an inviting appeal
to tho appetite through the sense of
smell and of sight, while the Injuilous
effect of the leveise conditions, which
may lead to nausea and even vomiting
Is admitted.
Lven tho ceiemonial feature ot tho
dinner table, the change of clothes, the
lelsuiely yet pi ecise. succession of ap
proved and" expected dUhes, accom
panied by pleasant talk and light
hearted companionship, are shown by
strict fclentlfic examination to be Im
portant aids to the healthy digestion
of food, which need not bo laige in
quantity, because whely presented.
Primitive School Books.
The limn book Invented in 1150 and
used considerably up to the"closo of
tho eighteenth century was the usual
text book of the elementary school. A
thin slab of haid wood was covered
with parchment, on which were piint
nl the capilal and small letters, nu
merals and some elenuntaiy sjllablcs
apd words.
Over this a thin sheet or transpai
cut cow's hoin was placed and flnuly
bound so that no moisture could pene
trate. To this the Bible and the sam
pler on which llttlg girls painfully
stitched the letters of the alphabet,
somo "Godly saying" and a border of
herring stitch, or some conventional
pattern of Impossible flowers and fo
liago and the legend "Mary Smith, her

that tho children used up to tho be
