Saving Time and Energy.
Ilave you ever noticed how much
time and energy are wasted, al -
mast .imperecptibiy too, both by
men and women 1 In the kitchen
as well as in other places in these
days, alien the cost of living de -
meads many economies, it is well
to remember that a savingin
money. as time saved may be used
otherwise.
Systematizing housework so as to
avoid unnecessary steps saves both
time and energy; keeping knives
sharp saves time ; knowing how to
manage a fire saves time, fuel and
temper.
Some housekeepers may not see
how to save much, especially the
inexperienced, in actual dollars
and cents, but they can with a, lit-
tle forethought save a few valuable
moments here and there during the
small cooking utensil tip over on
the range, as it will occasional-
ly de'. It can be avoided by simply
placing a flat tin lid, 'such as comes
on lard cans, then put your cup or
whatever it maybe over it.
An earthenware casserole, or any
dish, should be soaked in salty or
soda water fur twenty-four hours
before using, so as to avoid crack-
ing. Treated thus its term of use-
fulness will be prolonged.
Hints for the Rome.
Nerve specialists now realize that
weakness of will is dangerous to
health.
Salt in the oven placed over the
baking plates will prevent the. pas-
try from scorching at the bottom.
To help to purify the air of a sick
room place a bowl of clean water in
the room, and change it every day.
A paste of common baking soda
and water spread on a burn will
stop the pain and inflammation al-
most immediately.
Skim milk, warmed, is a splen-
did. cosmetic for the skin. Bathing
thee skin with warm milk prevents
it from getting rough. in cold
weather.
Scientists have discovered that
disease germsquickly d s quic y i de when
they come 'in contactwith the or-
dinary floor covering known as
linoleum. This is thought to be
due to- the disinfectant properties
of linseed oil which is found in lino-
leum.
The Kaiser's -Doom
Opinion in the •British Isles is
gradually hardening that whatever
else the terms of peace, on Ger-
many's- inevitable defeat, may.�or
may not include, they must certain-
ly include the holding of the. Kaiser
to what President Wilsonwould
call "strict accountability" - al-
though the British - public would
scarcely interpret those words in
a Wilsonian sense. Anyhow, the
view isgaining ground, with re-
markable rapidity, that the Kaiser
must on the oonclusion of the war,
pay, a personal price for the long
series of outrages committed dur-
ing the, war, with his sanction and
hi his name. Writing in the Birrn
ingham Post, Edgar Wallace puts
this view both moderately and suc-
cinctly," as If chows :
"Militarism was not destroyed in
France until its ,symbol was trans-
ferred to St. Melena. We maystalk
round and about the question of re-
prisal forthe ill-treatment of Brit-
ish prisoners, but the only reprisal-
we can make is to remove for ever
from his sphere the man who has
created, the system which has made
Prussian brutality eflssible. He has.
proved to us that he will stop'at no-
thing to gain his ends, that he will
violate every law of God and man
so long as he can achieve some sort
of success. We cannot apply the
same treatment to, him that we
could apply to an honorable en-
emy. We cannot draw the sting of
Prussian militarism ,wiirhaut cut-
ting off its head."
I am sure of 'this, that nothing
but the deposition and exile of the
Kaiser and his brood will satisfy
the peoples of the allied countries
and that, unless the whole lot are
sent packing, bag and baggage,
those peoples will feel. that their
Governments have fallen short of
their duty. It may be impossible—
it prdb.a'bly is -to change the na-
ture of the Hohenzollern beast, but
-
atleast, its -fangs can be drawn.
First ,among the terms of peace to
which Germany will be forced to
submit the delivery up of the Kais-
er=to be hanged. Lesser murderers
have to pay the penalty of their
crimes in their own ,person and
there seems no reason why the car-
cass .of the arch -criminal of the uni-
verse sheuld be exempt. But `I
fear that this is a counsel of per-
fection.

The Nun's Bootl--A Parisian fiat of ,Mourning.
So many Parisian women have lost father,brother, husband, son,
or sweetheart in the great European war that almost every, other
woman one meets on the streets of Paris wears the• deep crepe de-
noting bereavement. Fashionable milliners appreciating the trend of
the times have designed numerous very charming effects for those in
mourning. The photo pictures a very charming creation, a "Nun's
Rood," trimmed with just the faintest bit of white to offset its saxn-
breness. It may be that some milliner with advanced ideas may soon
set the vogue of creations in white for those in mourning.

What Breed to Buy,
ismg before you get your poultry
house ready you will be thinking
of the question of breed. I�erl2.aps:
you already have your favorite. If
so, the question is 'an easy one, and
you have only to select some de
pendable breeder and • buy your
stock. Buy yearlings from strains
that are good egg producers. By
this we mean birds from a strain
which has been gradually bred up
to laying from 150 to,200 eggs years
ly without loss of vitality.
Really, the question of breed is
largely one of individual prefer-
ence rather than marked superior-
ity. Any one of the standard
breeds will give you an abundance
of eggs if you do your part .
If you prefer white eggs of
course you will want some of the
Mediterranean class. White Leg -
horns are generally credited . with
being the most prolific layers, not
only of this class, but of the poul-
try world.
Plymouth Rooks, Wyandottes and
Rhode Island .Reds lay brown eggs.
These breeds are larger than the
Leghorns, and are referred to by
their champions as general-purpose
fowls, being in addition to good
layers fine table birds.
Buy one cock or cokerel for 8 to
10 hens of the heavier breeds, or
from 12 to 15 hens of Leghorns and
that class.
Row to Preserve Eggs.
There are many solutions offered
for this problem. Nearly all of
them are more or less satisfactory,
according as they are put into use
efficiently or nut. Salt and lime
will keep eggs fresh, if they are
taken directly from the nest, cool-
ed right out at once, and placed in ,
the isinglass method. Eggs away be ,
kept for a lung time, and afely, if
they are taken strictly new -laid to;
begin with, wrapped in pieces of
paper, and packed away in a eeaul,

culator wants to take a little flier
insomething which has a great
many elements of safety lacking ;nshares, and yet has sufficient price
variation to net a decent profit on
the turn, he will find his desires ful-
filled by yet another type of rail-
road bond, And so it is all the way
down the line; practically every re-
quirement of the average investor
will be found to be fulfilled by
some one of the numerous kinds of
railway mortgage securities.
The Straight Mortgage..
Probably the best known repre-
sentative of this large class, is the
ordinary railroad mortgage bond.
This is an obligation of a railroad
company, which runs for a, certain
length of time at a certain definite
rate of interest, and is usually se-
cured by a mortgage upon railroad
property. In the case of the first
mortgage bonds, they are secured.
by a mortgage against all or the
greater part of the company's pro-
perty; while in the case of the
other subsequent issues of bonds
they may be secured by separate
properties or as second or third
mortgages on the same property.
The short-term -notes may be secur-
ed in either of these two ways, or a
certain amount of treasury stock,
may be set aside as special security,
in addition to the general deed of
hypothec against the property it-
self.
There is still another type of
railroad bonds known as equipment
trust certificates, which are special-
ly secured by the equipment they
are issued to purchase. These are
usually amortization bonds and are
redeemable serially. They are dif-
ferent from the .ordinary railroad
mortgage bond in that their secur-
ity is rolling stock and not fixed
assets.
The Best Kind of Security.
Where absolute security is tho
paramount consideration, it would
be difficult to find bettaer bonds
than the first mortgage and even
the second mortgage bonds of the
big railways of the United States
and 'Canal . It has been the cos
toof mat railway builders on
this continent when building new
lines to issue bonds for so much per
Mile of line, securing the bonds by
a mortgage against the property
on either side of the• right-of-way,
as well as upon the actual railway
line itself. Usually a good deal
more money has been needed +a
build `the ,railway than is represent-
ed by the bend issue, and this ad-.
ditioiial money is often raised by
the 'sale of stock and secondary
bonds, all of -which increase the se-
curity behind the first mortgage
Examination of the trust deed will
show the nature of a mortgage; but
the investor need not bother much
about this as the bond- house will
give him all the necessary informa-
tion. The total market value of
the road, its cost and replacement
value are,' however, important fact-
o's. These can be arrived at only
by careful consideration of all the
securities outstanding and their
selling price in the open market.
The bonds should be covered twice
over.
Then there is the earnings feat-
ure of the case.' It is essential that
the railroad be operating at a good
profit. Bond interest must be earn-
ed and well earned. Further, be-
fore profits are shown the property
must be well maintained, sufficient
allowance being set aside for re-
placements and renewals.
The issue of subsequent mort-
gages is a good thing for the prior
lien holders. It shows that others
have confidence in the property,
and moreover it provides a buyer
for the road should it fail to meet
expenses; for the. second and subse-
uqent mortgagors must buy in the
road at a, sum equal to the first
mortgage or lose their money.
Why They Are a Good Buy.
Many Canadian and American
railroad bonds are . an unusually
good buy at the present time. The
security behind the issues of the
more' prominent companies is of the
beat; and particularly in the case of
Canadian railroads largely financed
through sale of stock. is the market
value of the 'roads greatly in excess
of the bonded indebtedness. For
various reasons railroad bonds
have kept down below normal
values and appear cheap compared
with some other investment secur-
ities. Their extremely. Wide range
of offerings together with general
stability of price make them an. at-
treative buy. As, some of. these
bonds are quite speculative in na-
ture, however, the counsel. . of a
thoroughly ;reliable bond, dealeris
advised where safe investment is
the first consideration.
