Killing the Calves —All sorts of excuses are offered for the high price of beef, the most plausible be ing the alleged demand for veal—"the killing of calves which should be allowed to growinto regular beef." You cannot have beef if you eat it as "veal", but yon can have Shredded Whea t Biscuit which contains more real nutriment than beef and costs much less. Shredded wheat biscuit is the whole wheat steam-cooked, shred ded and baked. Make it your "meat" for ten days and see how much better you feel.

LONDON PAPERS DENOUNCE OFFER Urge Rejection of Offer or Sub stitution of Counter Peace Proposal London, Dec. 13. The morning newspaper editorial- views on Ger man's peace proposals take two main grounds—that the offer should be re jected or that it should bo met with a statement of the terms on which the entente allies are willing to effect a peace, leaving it to the central nowers to accept or reject it. The Morning Post argues that the opening of negotiations would imply an armistice in which Germany would obviously occupy the predominant position. The Daily News, while urging the people not to pay too much attention to "the chancellor's arrogant invita tion," says the entent allies ruust not commit the fatal blunder of refusing to enter into negotiations because the j Teutons are evidently playing an as tute diplomatic game. Substantial Recoveries From Depressions Made New York, Dec. 13. Numerous | substantial recoveries from yesterday's extreme depression were registered at! to-day's opening, although here and j there evidence of further liquidation i was seen. Bethlehem Steel added 14 | points to yesterday's loss of 27, but I this was the most striking exception to the general improvement. Gains! of 1 to 4 points were scored by Max-1 well Motors, Baldwin Locomotive, i Central Leather, Mercantile Marines, General Electric, American Smelting, Cuba Cane Sugar and Gull' States Steel. New French Cabinet Is Presented to President Paris, Dec. 13. The official an- l nouncement of the constitution of the ! new cabinet was made to-night when Premier Briand submitted to Presi dent Poincare decrees naming the new members. Soo afterward the premier presented his new colleagues to the president. The number of members in the re formed ministry is ten besides whom there are threo under-secretaries of State. The cabinet is thus consider ably restricted compared with the old formation, while certain branches of the government, formerly separated have now been fused. The so-called war committee which is part of the reformed ministry is composed of five members. It will have wide powers. General Joffre as technical military adviser of the gov ernment has been authorized to parti cipate in the meetings of this com mittee. Wheat Traders Adopt Waiting Peace Attitude Chicago. 111., Dec. 13. Wheat traders seemed to have largely adopt-| ed a waiting attitude to-day pending any decided fresh developments re garding peace. The market opened unchanged to 2% higher, reflecting to some extent the outlook against any immediate cessation of hostilities. May wheat in which most of the trading was done, started at 165% to 167, the same as yesteday's finish to 1 M up. "PURE RUBBISH" London, Dec. 13.—Gen. Sir O'Moore Creach.who succeeded Lord Kitchener as commander-in-chief in India in 1909, ridiculed Germany's offer of peace in a statement made to-day. He said: "My opinion can be expressed in a few words: This official peace offer is pure rubbish." — Final Victory Is Sure, Emperor Charles Asserts Amsterdam, via London, Dec. 13. —A Vienna dispatch says Em peror Charles has issued the fol lowing to his army and navy: "With God's gracious assistance and your loyal allies' endurance, we have created a situation in which our final victory is no long er doubteful. In an endeavor to give back to our peoples, who in serious times have held out heroic ally, the blessings of peace, I and my illustrious allies have attempt ed to bring about an honorable peace. "I pray, that the Almighty may bestow His blessings on this step, but I am convinced you will con tinue to fight with the same hero ism until peace Is concluded or enemy is beaten crushingly."

TERMS ON WHICH GERMANY IS WILLING TO MAKE PEACE \\ ashington, Dec. 12.—1n circles close to the German Embassy the peace proposals offered by Germany are said to include: 1. The complete restoration of Belgium. 2. Evacuation by Germany of all territory captured in Northern France. 3. Establishment of Poland and Lithuania as independent kingdoms. 4. Restoration to Bulgaria of all territory taken from that coun try in the Second Balkan War. 5. Restoration of the German colonies in Africa and other parts of the world. 6. Restoration to Austria of any territory captured by Italy in the vicinity of the Adriatic Sea. 7. Retention of Constantinople by Turkey. PEACE PROPOSALS WILL BE FORWARDED IF WELCOME Berlin, Dec. 12, via London, Dec. 13 —Although Chanfcellor Von Beth mann-Hollweg did not disclose the definite proposals on which Germany and her allies are prepared to make peace in his speech before the Reich stag, such proposals are ready and will be communicated to the entente powers if the Chancellor's offer should fall upon responsive ears. GERMAN DIPLOMATS ARE SANGUINE PEACE WILL RESULT FROM PROFFER Washington, D. C., Dec. 13.—Presi dent Wilson's course of action in con nection with Germany's peace pro posals remained undecided to-day while he awaited the official proffer which the Central powers have asked the United States to transmit to their enemies. The impression grew, that while the President's first considera tion was to safeguard his usefulness as a peacemaker by omitting any com ment which might possibly be coupled with a rejection by the entente powers, there was a disposition to find some way, however,, delicate and informal to intimate the sincere wish of the United States that some basis for dis cussion at least might he reached. Many officials felt that an indication of the temper of the entente govern ments should be available before the influence of the United States was thrown into the balance. The Germanic diplomats in this country reflecting the views of their governments, believe the answer of the entente allies will be an inquiry as to the basis on which Germany pro poses peace and with that much as a foundation they see the warring na tions well on the way to a conference from which they are sanguine peace would result. LONDON BELIEVES WORLD SHOULD BE ACQUAINTED WITH GERMAN OBJECTS London, Dec. 18. Athough little confidence is shown in London that any result- will come from tha peace proposal of the central powors and the opinion prevails quite generally that the time is not opportune even to discuss terms, there is an under current of feeling that something would be gained by making the world acquainted definitely with the objects of the belligerents. The atti tude of the British government toward the offer will be made known in the House of Commons to-morrow, pro vided sufficient time shall have elaps ed to permit consultation with Great Britain's allies and this statement is awaited with the greatest interest. If the press which supports the ad ministration correctly interprets offic ial opinion little time will be taken up by consideration of the move of HERE IS TEXT OF NOTE FROM GERMANY TO HER ENEMIES Following Is the text of the note adopted by Gerpiany and her Allies to the hostile governments: "The most terrific war ever experienced in history has been raging for the last two years and a half over a large part of the world—a catastrophe which thousands of years of common civilization was unable to prevent, and which injures the most precious achievements of hu manity. "Our aims are not to shatter nor annihilate our adversaries. In spite of our consciousness of our military and economic strength and our readiness to continue the war (which has been forced upon us) until the bitter end, if necessary, at the same time prompted by the desire to avoid further bloodshed and make an end to the atrocities of war, the four allied powers propose to enter forthwith into peace negotiations. "The propositions which they bring forward for such negotiations and which have for their object a guarantee of the existence, of the honor and liberty of evolution for their nations, are, according to their firm belief, an appropriate basis for the establishment of a lasting peace. "The four allied powers have been obliged to take up arms to defend justice and the liberty of national evolution. The glorious deeds of our armies have in no way altered their purpose. Wo always maintained the firm belief that our own rights and justified claims in no way control the rights of these nations. "The spiritual and material progress which were the pride of Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century are threatened with ruin. Germany and her allies, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, gave proof of their unconquerable strength in this struggle. They gained gigantic advantages over adversaries superior In number and war mate rial. Our lines stand unshaken against ever-repeated attempts made by armies. "The last attack in the Balkans has been rapidly and victoriously overcome. The most recent events have demonstrated that further con tinuance of the war will not result in breaking the resistance of our forces, and the whole situation with regard to our troops justifies our expectation of further successes. "If in spite of this offer of peace and reconciliation the struggle should go on, the four allied powers are resolved to continue to a victorious end, but they disclaim responsibility for this before humanity and his tory. The imperial government, through the good offices of your Ex cellency, ask the government of (here is inserted the name of the neu tral power addressed in each instance) to bring this communication to the knowledge of the government of (here are inserted the names of the belligerents)." V i r Heckling of President by Militants Rapped Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and Mrs. J. O. Miller, of Pittsburgh, first vice president of the State organization, it was announced hero to-day, openly voiced their criticism of the methods of the Congressional union, or mili tant branch of'suffrage, in endeavor ing to heckle President Wilson, while reading his speech to Congress last week. POPLARS THUEATENEI) Washington, Dec. 13. An out break of the European poplar-canker, and dangerous fungus disease, that threatens the poplars of the United States, was reported to-day by the De partment of Agriculture. Pennsylva nia Is one of the affected States. aARRISfICRG ttSSHiS. TELEGFJIPH Some of the opponents of the Chan cellor are opposed to any move in the direction of peace except on the basis of "woe to the conquered." Most members of the Reichstag, however, express the opinion that the em peror's decision was wise and timely and showed pleasure at the formal step taken toward ending the war. It was reiterated that until the offi cial documents had been received for transmittal to the entente allies no de cision could he reached as to what the United States would do. The London press comment on the peace offer is known to be in accord with confidential advices coming to this government before Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg's speech and the note were published. How far this comment represents the views of the new British government can only be surmised. In quarters close to the entente allies an opinion prevailed that if the entente allies made reply their first course might be to inquire whut guarantees would be given by Ger many that the terms of a peace treaty would be fulfilled and that a treaty would not bo violated as, the Allies contend, in the case of Belgium. By making such a reply entente diplo mats see the responsibility for con tinuing the war thrown back to the Central Powers. The President has been urged by some advisers to make his address to the opening of the conference of gov ernors here to-morrow night, the oc casion toexpress in general terms his attitude without binding himself in a definite way. Germany and her allies, although the moderate opinion of the country does not favor too hasty rejection of the overtures. It is believed the Ger man peoplo, once they are acquaint ed with the objects of the entente, might be more inclined toward peace and for that reason if for no other, the terms of the entente allies should be made known officially to the cen tral powers. The possibility that President Wil son will make some suggestions when forwarding the offer also is much dis cussed. It is intimated that he might at least express willingness to convey the terms of the entente to the cen tral powers. The report is current here that Emperor William is about to an nounce the granting of a parliament ary form of government to Germany.

Ger many was willing to make poace, was not marked by a single expression of dissent while the significant passages were greeted with hearty bravos and cheers. It was noticeable, however, that Count Freidrich Von Westarp, the conservative leader, and others of his following sat silent and unmoved even when the galleries and news papermen Joined demonstratively in the applause. The indefinite adjournment of the Reichstag by its own decision leaves the government a free hand to con duct further negotiations and is re garded as tantamount to a vote of confidence. Peace Overtures Are Approved by Germania Berlin, Dec. 12, via London, Dec. 13. Commenting on the peace pro posals, Germania, the Catholic organ, expresses especial pleasure that the central powers appeal to the Pope as well as to other neutrals. It enthusias tically approves the peace overtures, which it terms the privilege of the stronger in war and a performance of the holiest of duties to humanity and Christian morality. England Is Skeptical Toward Germany's Move London, Dec. 13.—The late editions of the evening newspapers yesterday commented sarcastically on the Ger man peace offer. The Evening News says that inasmuch as the Germans have obtained \ their "maximum of plunder" and as "the avenger in the shape of Lloyd George is about to in flict punishment," Germany now do sires to make peace. BUSINESS SICK 15 YEARS SAYS EDWARD HURLEY [Continued From First Page.] John F. Dapp, who paid a tribute to his recognized ability as an economist and exponent of successful business. The trend of the speaker's remarks, which were delivered entirely from manuscript, were along the line of suggestions for uniformity of cost accounting in business, more complete harmony and co-operation between business and the government, and ex planatory of the work of the Federal Trade Commission, whose mission it is to work out the businessman's problems for the public interest. Business Sick "Business has been sick for the last fifteen years,' said Mr. Hurley, "and it is largely responsible for its own ill ness: instead of asking for doctors it called in lawyers, and you know the result." This he followed with a brief exposition of the Euronean system of scientific business organization for gathering in trade, which he said this country must emulate. In order to get away from the weaknesses of our present one-sided organization. The speaker referred in complimen tary terms to the Chambers of Com merce and similar trade bodies throughout the country and to the Important work that they are doing. He deplored price-cutting methods and declared that cut-throat prices based on ignorance of the fundamen tal principles of cost accounting can not be overcome by the efficiency of competitors, and consequently busi ness in general suffers. He advised against price agreements between competitors and advocated increasing standardization of systems. Ho also 15 ! they must do more for you than the other big fellows to get it.

The quality of cake, biscuits and all quickly raised flot— foods depends largely upon the kind of baking powder used. Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar derived from grapes. It is absolutely pure and has proved its excel lence for making food of finest quality and wholesomeness for generations. Royal Baking Powder contains no alum nor phosphate. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York took occasion to comment favorably upon the cost accounting methods of the petroleum, lumber and coal indus tries, which the Federal Trade Com mission is at present investigating. In this connection he referred to Refer endum No. 17, which contains the suggestion that certain great extrac tive industries of the country be placed in a class by themselves, be cause of their intimate relations to the great natural resources which are fundamental to our national industrial development. "The public interests in volved will make proper cost account ing methods an absolute necessity," was the speaker's conclusion, from which he said there is no escape. Mr. Hurley dwelt at some length on the subject of depreciation, with the Illuminating statement that only a few manufacturers make proper provision for depreciation in their ac counting system, and he expressed the belief that the majority of business failures are the result of failure to appreciate cost accounting. The speaker, who is chairman of a commission of five members, which has been in existence fo five years, closed with a plea for national co-opeation to enable this country to stand, at the end of the war, shoulder to shoulder against the world in the commercial struggle that is bound to ensue.
