How German Captain Gave Von Pa- |
1
pen Away.
Just when the United States De- |
partment of Justice needed a little |
more information to definitely con-|
nect Von Papen with the passport |
frauds, a German officer named Wolf- |
ram von Knorr, a captain in the Ger-
man navy, and formerly Naval At-
tache of the Imperial German Embas-
sy to Tokio, stepped onto the scene.
The World’s Work for March told
the story. Ruroede, the German who
had been far some time in charge of
securing illegal passports for the use
of German reserve officers caught in
this country by the outbreak of the
war, had just been taken into custody
by the Department of Justice. Spe-
cial agents of the Department were
still in his office when von Knorr en-
tered. He asked for Ruroede, and the
special agent who was seated at Ru-
roede’s desk said that Ruroede was
out, but that he was Ruroede’s son,
and might be able to be of some as-
sistance. Von Knorr asked when Ru-
roede would return, and the special
agent answered that he might be in at
any time. Von Knorr decided to wait.
The agent, busying himself at the
desk, finally told Von Knorr that it
might be that the elder Ruroede would
be delayed, and that if Captain Von
Knorr did not object, the two of them
could go to the office at which the el-
der Ruroede was. Von Knorr did not
object, and the special agent took him
to the office of the Department of Jus-
tice, where, excusing himself for a
minute, the agent arranged wit
another employee of the Department
to pose as Ruroede. Thereupon “Ru-
roede” and the German captain had
a long talk, during which Von Knorr
slapped “Ruroede” on the chest, tell-
ing him that “that chest ought to
have something,” meaning a decora-
tion from Berlin.
Having learned from Von Knorr
enough, together with what was al-
ready known, to prove that Von Papen
was a party to the passport frauds,
Von Knorr was allowed to depart
without having learned that he had
spent half an hour in the office of the
Bureau of Investigation talking to a
representative of the United States
Department of Justice, and without
knowing that he had given away the
necessary information that proved
conclusively that Von Papen was a
party to unneutral acts against the
United States.
An amusing find among Ru-
roede’s papers was a typewritten
sheet of instructions to German re-
serve officers traveling on false pass-
ports. A translation is as follows:
1. On no condition and in no way
whatever must anything be let out in
regard to the conditions under which
the voyage was affected.
2. During the passage one should
keep aloof from other passengers and
make no acquaintances on board.
3. Deportment on board, during the
trip, should, as far as it is at all pos-
sible, be in harmony with the partic-
ular characteristics described in the
passport.
4. Should any questions be asked,
answer with reserve, and moreover, it
is fitting to make use, as far as prac-
ticable, of the need created by sea-
sickness for remaining in seclusion.
5. Finally, everything will depend
on the maintenance, in every respect,
of absolute reticence. All incitements
to political or similar discussions of
the war or of soldiers and their obli-
gations must be absolutely avoided.
6. It should by no means be under-
stood that on landing one should tell
everybody everything that happened;
on the contrary, then too is silence
absolutely necessary, lest through too
much talking it become impossible for
others to likewise get to the other
side.
7. Briefly, the watchword, always
and at all times, is “Silence.”
How to Hinder Hindenburg.
If Bill, the coach, said “Boys, pitch
in and show some class. We've got to
win. We need the hurdles for a start-
er, then we've got to take the quar-
ter, the 100-dash, the half-mile run,
the relays and before we've done—
say, this will make you fellows hump
— we've got to cop the running jump,
the shot-put—it’ll be a cinch—but
grab the pole-vault in a pinch. If you
buck-up and pull this stunt the other
schools aint in the hunt.” If Bill said
that and put it up to you to win the
champion cup, right away you know
you'd hop to put the old school flag
on top. And when you placed it thexe
you'd howl and dance and celebrate
and howl. But, now, another game
in life demands more pep than High
school strife. The biggest game of
all is on, and you must help to get it
won. Bill the Kink, of old Berlin,—
the guy whose mustache makes you
grin—Old Kaiser Bill has gone to bat.
He hopes to give the earth a swat.
Your Uncle Sam is in the box. He's
out to give Old Bill his knocks. And
you are needed on the team. They
want you there to help put steam in
Uncle Sammy’s pitching arm. You
play in center field—the “Farm” is
what those funny baseball scribes call
“center” in their diatribes. The Farm
is calling for your muscle, there is a
red-hot need for hustle to make things
grow in bigger lots. We must feed-
up to knock the spots off Hindenburg
and Bill the Great. So grab a hoe,
give Bill the gate, or take a turn be-
hind the plough and demonstrate to
Hindy how the trench to beat the Ger-
man burrow will be the old potato
furrow. Gee! boys get out and till
the land, know God's green fields.
There's something grand about the
soil, about the manly, homely toil
that makes the fertile earth produce.
You're needed, you can be of use;
your duty not to shoulder arms—
your bit is SAVE THE WORLD ON
FARMS.
Solving the World’s Problem.
Professor—“Pat, what is your so-
lution to the world problem ?”
Pat—“Well, sor, I think we should
have a world democracy—with an

two dresses of good material than sev-
eral developed from inferior cloth.
Remember, a cheap article is never a
bargain. On the other hand, it is an
extravagance, for the reason that
everything bought under price is not
up to the standard and will not give
reasonable service in any way.
“This is a silk lined age,” and “we
simply must keep abreast of the
times,” are samples of the remarks
one hears on every side, yet it requires
no broad stretch of imagination to
convince one that silk stockings or
silken lingerie cannot be purchased on
a $10 or $12 a week salary.
However, there are many worth-
while substitutes on the market quite
in keeping with such modest incomes,
and the really to-be-admired girl is
she who, if her salary is not over gen-
erous, contents herself with these ar-
ticles.
Dressing, or trying to dress beyond
her means spells unhappiness and dis-
appointment
tempts it. In many instances such
young women make purchases on
credit, thus contracting bills quite im-
possible to settle.
The new blouses are closed in a
number of fashions and many of them
are ingeniously contrived so that the
deep collar at the back need not be
disturbed. One model is made with a
deep enough V-shaped opening at the
front so that it slips over the head—
if the head is not too large. This
blouse, therefore, has no visible means
of closing—or opening. And it is
very pretty and the full front falls in
unbroken folds and the deep collar of
the back is uninterrupted.
And if one puts this blouse on care-
fully, pulling it smoothly over the
hair, it is all very well.
A newer method of getting around
the difficulty of the deep collar in the
back or the collar across the back,
which marks so many of the new
blouses, and the desire for the un-
broken front, is to slit up the back
from the waistline for a few inches—
say five or six.
The matter of pulling the blouse
over the head is then much simplified,
and the results gained are about the
same. Moreover, the little buttoned
opening at the bottom of the back of
the blouse, is, if anything, of decora-
tive value.
Fetching Frills—House gowns are

Lavender of all tones is very much
in evidence.
The silhouette may be either

A pretty girdle is very wide and

Narrow tiebelts are a pretty way of
defining the waist line.
If the boards of your floor are ill-
fitting they can appear to be tightly
joined by boiling into a paste one-half
pound of flour, six pints of water and
one-half pound of alum. Tear news-
papers into small pieces and stir in
enough to make your paste as stiff as
putty, press into all the seams and
stain it at the same time that you do
your boards. It will take the color so
perfectly even a shrewd observer will
not detect the difference between the
boards and the papier mache.
Headaches have many perfectly
good (or rather bad) reasons for be-

Following are the sentiments of the

Potato Surplus Stores Threatened
Cleveland, O.—Dealers in potatoes
here declare that between 200,000,000
and 300,000,000 bushels of these vege-
tables, the surplus of last year’s 442,-
000,000 bushel crop, are stored in va-
rious parts of
unless disposed of within the next few
weeks, must be thrown away.
The new Florida potato crop is de-
clared here to be coming into the mar-
ket within 30 to 40 days, and the 1917
surplus must be disposed of before
that time.
Potato prices in Cleveland recently
at wholesale ranged from $1.65 to $2
per 100 pounds, and commission men
were agreed that the price to the con-
sumer should not be more now than
$1.50 a bushel of 60 pounds weight.
Potato prices have dropped in Cleve-
land $1 a bushel in the last few weeks,
the president of the Produce Associa-
tion declares. One of the curious
facts presented here is said to be that
the American public is not eating so
many potatoes today as when they
sold at $3 a bushel; and when onions
retailed at from 10 to 15 cents a
pound last winter there was a bigger
demand, it is said, than there is to-
day, when they retail at 3 cents a
pound and can be bought at wholesale
at 13 cents a pound. It has been pro-
posed here that the government
i should issue an order making pota-
| toes, and possibly onions, the commod-
ity that should be purchased along
| with flour and sugar instead of ask-
| ng customers to buy corn meal with

A NURSE FOR OVER FORTY
YEARS.
Read What She Says About the Gold-
ine Treatment.
Superlative praise many times fails
to convince. It is the character and
personality behind the praise that
counts. When a person of Miss
Braine’s reputation as a successful
nurse for over forty years endorses
a preparation, that preparation must
have merit.
Many people owe their lives to Miss
Braine, she has been a nurse in Wil-
liamsport for over forty years. Miss
Braine is 74 years of age, lives at 931
West Third “Street. She says: “I
have always kept myself in pretty
good health, but I contracted rheu-
matism on a trip South about twenty
years ago and haven't been able to
get rid of it, although I have doctored
and tried everything I knew, but in-
stead of getting better I kept getting
worse and the last year it has been so
is indigestion, which has a curious
way of sending a rush of blood to the
head and causing this blood to exert |
a pressure on the brain which often
results in acute pain.
A good cathartic suited to the sys-
tem of the individual is the first thing
to be considered, for nine chances out
of ten the indigestion has been caused
by a torpid liver. :
Follow this with a hot foot bath, in
which, if the pain is very severe, a
tablespoonful of English mustard to
a gallon of water has been meted.
The hot water should draw the
blood away from the head.
Eye headaches are in a class by
themselves and require the attention
of an oculist.
Witch hazel compresses are as ef-
ficacious as they are simple.
‘Nervous headaches are the invaria-
ble accompaniments of overexhaus-
tion or strain of any sort.
Again the hot water foot bath
should play its part and then nothing
will work wonders as will the cold and
warm compress on the forehead and
at the base of the neck.
Into a half pint of hot water mix a
tablespoonful of witch hazel and one-
half teaspoonful of tincture of ben-
zoin. Dip into this a small towel and
lay it as hot as can be borne over the
forehead and eyes, and again at the
base of the neck.
Continue the hot treatment for
about 10 minutes and then put the
identical mixture into half a pint of
cold soda water and apply the cold
compresses in the same place and
manner.
The hot compresses relax the
nerves and muscles and the cold
tones them to normal condition.
Frequent bathing of the face in cold
water in which there is a bit of sweet
spirits of ammonia often refreshes
one when the severest of the pain is
over.
Quiet, both of nerves and of body,
is essential for nerves or for stomach
headaches and should go a long way
toward restoring normal conditions.
Often headaches occur when it is
impossible to avail onself of the heat
and rest that one should have. Office
workers, for instance, can’t very well
sit at their desks with heads bound
with compresses and feet in a foot

«I HAVE DOCTORED FOURTEEN
YEARS FOR STOMACH
TROUBLE.”
SAID THIS LADY.
Mrs. Rosa Reinhart, who lives at
333 Jefferson Street, says: “For 14
years 1 have suffered with stomach
trouble and have doctored and taken
medicines galore, but without results.
I was bloated all the time with gas.
Could not eat any solid food without
having severe burning, smarting pains
in the pit of my stomach. Naturally,
I was weak and in a rundown condi-
tion and you can imagine that life was
anything but pleasant for me.
“Jt is three weeks since I began the
use of Goldine. The help it has given
me has been wonderful. In three
weeks I have changed from one of the
most miserable to one of the most
happy of women. After doctoring
and trying everything I heard of 14
years, your Goldine is the only thing
that ever helped me. Think of it. Do
I recommend it? Let people ask me
personally if they have any doubts
about it.”
“No achievement in the history of
all the proprietary medicines paral-
lels the record of Goldine. The New
Marvel Medicine. Never before has
the success been se rapid, so definite,
so sweeping.”
