Have you ever noticed how enticing sweet potatoes are when served with Maryland pork and beans? Somehow the pork greases make them seem more like a dessert than a plain vege- table. Neither cream, lard, butter, nor beef can take the place of pork fat for sweet potatoes. Pork fat also gives a tang to beets, parsnips and carrots which cannot be duplicated in any other way. The waste fat from beef makes a better cake, a better pie crust and better candies than the highest priced butter. Cookies, puddings and cakes have a savoriness so enticing when made of beef drippings that not even the most delinquent appetite can say them nay. The fats, oils and greases from lamb or veal all lend themselves to the economical housewife as a great improvement over costly butters and cheap lards for: frying, broiling and preparing food in all sorts of other ways. One part of these fats will give a happier flavor to fish, beans, carrots and peas than ten times as much butter. Indeed, a spoonful of it will do the work of a whole pound of butter. Then there are the ‘“grube,” so called by the Jewish cooks who re- | move the fat and grease from geese and fry it with the goose flesh into crisp, brittle flat cakes. The grease from the geese and other fowl is wide- ly used in Jewish homes. Some stu- dents think its use has much to do with the relative absence of wasting distempers, among the people of this ancient nation. IDEAS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER Seven Little Things of Moment With Which All of Them May Not Be Acquainted. When it is necessary to boil a cracked egg add a little vinegar to the water. This will prevent the white from boiling out. If you have difficulty in cleaning the candle grease from metal candle- sticks try setting the candlesticks in a hot oven for a few minutes. This will melt the grease. Of course, care must be taken not to leave them in too long or the candlesticks will melt as well as the grease. If you wet a spoon before using 4t ‘to serve Jelly you will find the jelly will not stick to it and the serving is more easily accomplished. To clean-fly specks from varnished wood, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in ‘equal parts of skim milk and water. To pick up little pieces of broken glass, wet a woolen cloth; lay it on ‘the floor where the fragments are and pat it. The little particles will ad- here to the damp cloth. The skin of new potatoes is more easily removed by rubbing with a stiff little brush than by scraping with a knife. If curtain rods or poles are rubbed with hard soap before being put up, the curtains will slip on them easily. Homemade Wall Paper Cleaner. The following mixture is more easily applied, and does the work more effec: tively than any of the baked prepara- tions that are sold at a good price for a small quantity—one generally paying the sum for the label and tin, to box it up for sale. Take one part sal am- moniac, four parts rye flour, and water enough to form a dough, then use on the soiled parts as if the mixture was a sponge. As the dirt is transferred from the wall to the cleaner, turn the soil in, and work out a clean part of dre mixture. A little practice will soon show how easily this is accomplished, without waste to the mixture. Never g@ontinue rubbing the soiled surface of the cleaner into the wall.

The experience of Motherhood is a try- ing one to most women and marks dis- tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one" woman ip a hundred is prepared or un- | derstands how to properly care for her- self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from whieh it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- ple time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly t_<e trial, Every woman at this time should refy upon Lydia E.

The two oldest inhabitanlg were very ignorant, neither of them being able even to tell the time of day. A friend of Uncle Ben's gave him a watch, of which he was very proud. One day, before the crowd at the cor ner store, old Pete, being slightly jealous of such wealth and wishing to embarrass his rival, said: “Say, Ben, what time have you got?” The other old fellow drew out his watch and turned its face toward his inquisitor. “There she be!” he ex claimed.

Boys and, girls under ten are not permitted to enter. Herr and Frau Muller found this out to their disappointment when they planned to take their little Paul on a Sunday trip to view the beautiful gar dens; nevertheless, they gave their young hopeful a few instructions, and started out. “ “How old are you?” he inquired. Paul answered, “Six for.the electrics; really eight; for the botanical gar dens, ten.” PRESSED HARD. Coffee’s Weight on Old Age. When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. “My mother, since her early child hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that ‘weak all over’ feeling and sick stomach. “Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat anusual flavour of the ‘cof- fee’ and asked him concerning it. He replied that itt was Postum. “] was so pleased with it that, after the meal was over, I bought a package GERMANS CLAIM GAIN AT YPRES British Bombard Turkish City and Force Its Evacuation ALLIES REPORT SUCCESSES French Officers State That Allies Hold | Positions in Western Belgium and Northeastern France That" Are Impregnable. Berlin.—Steady German. ‘gains in the campaign having Calais as its ob- jective were announced here. The following statement was issued by the German general staff: “German troops concentrated for the Calais campaign have driven the enemy back 20 miles in the vicinity of Ypres. The resistance of the al lies appears to be weakened and they are making desperate efforts to refill their depleted ranks. “Every attack on the position about Lille has been repulsed by our troops “In the eastern theater, the situa tion in Western Poland is unchanged. On the East Prussian front our troops are making gains, though opposed by forces numerically stronger.” Lieutenant General Karl F. L. J. von Meyer, of the Hanover troops, was killed in battle on October 28. He was struck by a fragment of a shell and died within an hour of his injuries. A French aeroplane was brought to earth by a well directed shot near Dueren, 19 miles from Aix-la-Chap- pelle, Monday afternoon, according to a dispatch from Essen. The aviator was killed and the observer wounded. TEUTONS STRIKE AT NEW POINT Barred Along the Coast Ger- mans Attack Southward FIGHT ON THE WHOLE FRONT Turkish Ambassador to England Was Handed His Passports — Turkey Apologizes But Continues Af- fronts—Move Against Egypt. London.—The Germans continue to strike hard blows on the allies’ lines in their endeavor to get through to the coast. Thus fdr they have found every road blocked, but, apparently disregarding losses, they continue to attack. : The floods, the Belgian army and the British fleet having barred their way southwestward along the coast, the Germans are now striking on a line stretching from Ypres, in Bel- gium, to La Bassee, farther south, in France, but seemingly with no more success: The stubbornness of the fighting along this line may be gathered from the fact that the town of Messines, which the Germans now occupy, has been taken and retaken no less than four times, each time with enormous losses in killed or wounded. Attacks also have been made along the entire battle front as far east as the Vosges region, but, according to the French report, with the Germans having no more success than in the northwest. Paris.—The following official report | was issued by the French war office: In a statement it is announced that the allies have been driven back 20 miles in the vicinity of Ypres. Itis al- so said that the allies’ resistance /ap- pears to be weakening and that every tions about Lille has been repulsed. London.—Although diplomatic ef- forts to prevent a war between Tur- key and the allies were continued on the surface, it was made apparent by an official announcement from the ad- mirality that hostilities had been be- gun by Great Britain at the porte’s possessions. The admiralty stated that the Brit- ish cruiser Minerva had bombarded the forts at Akaba, a Turkish town on the gulf of Akaba, an arm of the Red sea extending into the coast of Arabia southeast of the Suez canal. The troops of Akaba evacuated the place. The admiralty statement follows: “}. M. S. Minerva arrived at Akaba and found the place occupied by sol- diers, one of whom had the appear- ance of a German officer. The Minet- va shelled the fort and the troops in the town. They evacuated the place and a landing party destroyed the bar- racks, the postoffice and stores.” Paris.—The advantage which the Germans gained by securing a foot- hold at terrific loss of life on the left pank of the Yser river has been aban- doned, according to an official an- nouncement issued here. It states that the Germans have withdrawn and that the allied troops have regained. the crossings of the Yser. That the allies hold positions in Western Belgium and Northeastern France that are practically impregna- ble was the claim made by French of- ficers who have just returned from the front on a military mission. They declare that the German offensive, no matter how aggressive, will be unable to break through the allied front. If Germany could hurl a fresh army of 400,000 men upon the Nieuport- Yres line they would stand a good chance of success, it was said, but Ger- many has no more troops to spare for the western war zone at present. The fury of the attacks around Ypres is now believed to have been in- spired by the presence cf Emperor William, who is reported to have vis- ited the battle zone in Belgium to in- fuse spirit into his soldfers. : The Germans, under cover of a fu- rious cannonade, hurled vast masses of troops against the allied lines Ypres was to be taken at all costs. That was the order, and the German to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. “] had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother’s con- dition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was well and hearty. = ‘ “I know Postum has benefited my- gelf and the other members of the fam. ily, but not in so marked a degree 28 in the case of my mother, as she wis a victim of long standing.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The losses of the Germans were enormous. The allies suffered heavily, but at the end of the'day Ypres was still untaken. The fighting on the coast line is less violent now, owing to the with- drawal of German forces from the range of French and British warships. An aerial raid was made upon Theil, Belgium, where German field headquarters were located. Three German staff officers are reported to have been killed by bombs dropped by the airmen. The Belgian town of Passchendaele, 11 miles north of Ypres, has been car- ried by the allies after a series of brilliant charges by the British. The Germans were driven from their trench- es and many prisoners were taken. Southwest of Lille and along the Aisne the Germans are still keeping up brisk attacks in order to divert at- tention from their activities in the northern sphere. The German general staff logically figures that, so long as the invaders keep up a stiff demonstra- tion along the center, the French will not send any troops from that region to reinforce the army of the north. \ “At our left wing the German at- tacking movement continued with the same violence in Belgium and in the north of France, particularly between Dixmude and the Lys. In this region, attack they have made upon the posi- | in spite of the attacks and counter at- acks of the-Germans, we have made slight progress on nearly the whole front, except at the village of Messin- eas, of which a part has been again lost by troops of the allies.

Berlin.—The following official state- ment regarding operations in both the | western and eastern theaters of war was issued: “The progress of the battle in the porthern French localities is consider- ed here as highly favorable. The French have been thrown across the Aisne near Soissons and operations have already extended to the west front of Verdun. Letters from the front describe the fighting between Nieu- port and Ypres as probably the fierc- est of the entire war. The Germans have forced their way southward by repeated night attacks. The toll on both sides is very great. “The battle in Poland has not yet been recommenced. In Galicia the battle, however, seems to be approach-! ing the decisive stage. 3 London.—The Grand Vizier of Tur- key has apologized for recent events in the Black Sea. The text of the Turkish apology was not announced. It had been in- timated that: Great Britain was de- laying hostilities waiting for eleventh- hours amends from the Porte. That this , would be forthcoming was se- riously doubted. Nevertheless in the absence of a formal declaration of war all hope had not been abandoned even though the British press treated the situation as beyond repair. Getting Even.
