Eliminate Waste.
Some of the ways to reduce waste
are: Bring the market trimmings
home and use them in cooking; save
all trimmings of beef and mutton,
drippings from roasts, bacon fat, fresh
pork fat, sausage fat and chicken fat,
which may be combined or used singly
in cooking in place of butter or lard,
use the cracklings from tried out suet
for shortening in corn cakes or suet
puddings.
Good cooking and attractive appear;
ance of dishes do much to reduce
table waste and promote good diges-
tion. Waste can be reduced by judici-
ous serving. Small portions should
be served at first and second help-
ings given if necessary. Skin, bone,
gristle and fat, which will not be eat-
en, should not be served, because if
not served they can be used for soup
and the like.
This is not a time for hysterical
thinking or action. For immediate
relief every individual and community
should consider earnestly the matter
of food conservation and the limita-
tion of waste.
As a nation we have a disdain of
economizing. There is an annual
food waste of thousands of dollars in

He is not young, who with unheeding

Nor feels his heart with happiness
beat high,
Nor is he old, though slow his step,

Who finds a temple in each stately

Whose soul' rejoices in the scented

With bird and flower and honey seek-

He is not young who can in earth be-

Only a stage where he wins place and

But he who feels its wonder day by

Whate'er his years, he never can be

If there is any gratitude in man-
kind we shall treat our dogs with even
greater affection after the war than
we have bestowed upon them in the have been
past. Thousands of lives i
saved on the battlefield by our canine
friends.
The French and the Germans in par-
ticular have used dogs in connection
with ambulance work. The Germans
claim, indeed, that over 8,000 wounded
men owe their lives to these four -
footed searchers. The dogs are so
knowing that they can easily tell the
difference between a dead man and a
man N .,o merely looks dcad. They;
waste no time over the former, but
immediately raise the alarm over the
latter.
Sometimes they bring back acap to
indicate their discovery, after which
they lead the ambulance men to the
spot. But a more effective method is
employed by meanssof a small, sou -
sage -shaped piece of leather attached
to the dogs' collars. When a dog finds
a wounded soldier it takes the leather
piece in its mouth and returns to its
trainer. If, on the other hand, the
dog comes back with the piece of lea-
ther still depending from the collar
this is a signal that it has sought in
vain.
And some people still believe that
dogs have scant intelligence!

THE AUTHOR AND DEFENDER OF
POLITICAL FREEDOM.
One of the Finest Tributes to Our
Motherland Ever Printed in a
Foreign Paper.
There have been many tributes. to
France recently in this country, and
none of them has been undeserved,
says the Indianapolis News, one of
the leading newspapers of the Middle
Western States. At the Woodstock
Club recently an Englishwoman
pleaded, and most movingly, the cause
of France. Her argument was that if
Americans did not come to the rescue
of French orphans there was danger
that the French nation might become
extinct. When she was asked why
she said nothing for the English, her
answer was that the English were
keeping their griefs and sorrows to
themselves. But that is no reason
why the people of the United States
should not recognize, and with pride
and gratitude, the people of Eng-
land as the author and defender, for
a thousand years, of the liberties of
the world.
First Fight for Liberty.
There is little political liberty that
France and America do not owe to
the men who wrested Magna Charta
from the hands of a craven monarch;`
who, a hundred years before the
French revolution, cut off the head of
a tyrant king and drove his son from
England because he was the enemy of
liberty. What we established in our
revolution was nothing more than the
old English liberty, to which her Ger-
man king had proved a traitor.
Through this country France got,
from England, her idea of , political
liberty. It is a glorious thing that
these three great nations are to -day
fighting for that freedom for which
Englishmen have been laboring and
fighting for more than a thousand
years. France, magnificent though
she is, is but a child in the fight. We,
thank God, inherit a tradition from
our English ancestors to which we
shall never be false.
Representative Cannon said in the
House last week that his sympathy
was chiefly with Russia which had
always been the friend of this coun-
try. No one will quarrel with him.
Others are firm in their love for
France, and here again no one will
object. But greater than either as
the friend and champion of liberty is
that Government that has its seat
in London, that Government that
tasted freedom before either France
or Russia had dreamed of it. Our
liberty to -day is of English origin.
And we got it from Plymouth Rock
and Jamestown.
Mother of Parliaments.
We look out over the world to -day,
and find that—outside of France
the liberty that is worth fighting and
dying for exists in English-speaking
communities. There is no American
who is not perfectly at home in Great
Britain, Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand. Great Britain is the only
power in the western hemisphere of
which we need to take account. The
greatest thing about this war is that
it is likely to bring an agreement
that shall bind together the great
English-speaking commonwealths of
the world. It is, in our opinion, high
time that a tribute were paid by all
lovers of liberty to that great nation
which is both the mother of liberty
and of Parliaments.
PROVERBIAL WEATHER.
These old English verses are attri-
buted to ho less distinguished an au-
thor than Dr. Jenner, the conqueror of
smallpox:
The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds look black, the glass is low,
The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
For see a rainbow spans- the sky.
The walls are damp, the ditches smell,
Closed is the pink -eyed pimpernel.'
Hark how the chairs and tables crack!
Old Betty's nerves are on the rack.
Loud quacks the duck, the peacocks
cry,
The distant hills are seeming nigh,
How restless are the snorting swine!
The busy flies disturb the kine;
Low o'er the grass the swallow wings,
The cricket, too, how sharp he sings,
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping o'er her whiskered jaws.
Through the clear streams the fishes
rise, `
And nimbly catch the incautious flies.
The glowworms, numerous and light,
IBurned the dewy dell last night,
At dusk the squalid toad was seen
Hopping and crawling o'er the green.
The whirling durst the wind obeys
And in the rapid eddy plays;
The frog has changed hie yellow vest,
.Anti in a russet coat, is dressed.
Though June, the air is cold and still. '
