Dip each piece in flour and fry in butter, and it is easy to fool the most fastidious judge of good tried chicken. We are continually reading warn- ings about wasting the mineral salts of vegetables by our usual careless methods of boiling; we set the help- less vegetable adrift in a sea of boil- ing water, and then, when all the valuable elements (such as phosphor- ous, calcium, and iron) are boiled out, and the flavor of the food thereby re- duced, the vegetable is reduced —a mere hollow shell of its former self, with all its life -blood extracted—and served to us, while the rich salts and flavors find an untimely end by being poured down the kitchen sink. In steaming, all this is avoided. Physicians always recommend baked potatoes for children and invalids demands that the rights of neutrals and of non-combatants be respected on the open sea by all belligerents. Germany, while not denying these rights under international law, fat claims that Great Britain's attitude ext in shutting off the importation of all to food stuffs, etc., justifies her sub-ri marine warfare as the only means th she has of proper retaliation for this blo deprivation. cid The negotiations between Germany th and America have proceeded several str months, and the two nations now seem no to be as far apart as when they be- gan, so far as settling the rights of en neutrals and non-combatants on the ced high seas is concerned. ace There are two 'supreme considera- tions by which the U.S. must be guided in the course she adopts: First, her own rights and the rights because they are most• digestible. of her citizens; and second, her moral Steamed ones are just as good, if not obligations to those humanitarian better, for the steaming renders the ideals which she has always=pro- starch absolutely soluble. y bre. fessed.

This is in the newest y the canal,s; in other camps prisoners sleep on sacks filled with wood shavings, which ore raised up along the walls during the day, - Food regulations are much the same''. in all camps. The basis for the dis- tribution of food is 2,700 calories (heat units) declared by German sci- ence to be necessary for the mainten- ance of a tolerable existence. This is administered in a form of black bread and soup, a diet which gives the Canadian prisoner an acute sense of starvation. If he has money he is allowed to buy extra food and tobacco in a canteen, The prisoners themselves do.the work in the kitch- ens, serve the food and perform all the other menial tasks in the camps, They are allowed to amuse them- selves as best they can by primative theatricals and some games. "When I asked how they were treated," says this correspondent, "I received eondicting answers. One general conclusion, I drew, however, namely, that many are without friends to send them gifts of food, clothing and other necessities. I was much impressed by the desirability of one central organization for the dis- tribution of gifts to British prison- ers." Such an organization is to be found • in the Red Cross of which thousands of grateful prisoners of war can say with truth, "I was in prison and ye came unto me." The concern of the Red Cross is, however, primarily with the wounded. It is only the overflow of its treasury that is can devote to prisoners of war, The Canadian Red Cross has a spe- cial department in London, which has been sending 300 parcels a week to prisoners' camps. This amount is, of course, insufficient, but it can only be increased by an increase.in public subscription. MAKES P -R 'ECT BREAD A year ago the detention of a doz._ en Canadians iti a peon camp in Mexi co would have set Canada in a blaze of indignation, In spite of the many claims on the publics' purse it is to be hoped, however, that the thousands of Canadians now languishing in Gere many, will not be forgotten, If you wish to "Come Unto: Them" in their prison, you can do so by means of the Red Cross, Subscriptions should be sent to 77 King Street East, Toronto, The Fighting King, "Good-bye; I hope you won't forget me," the King of Italy once said to a departing American. Most monarchs would have taken one's memory of a friendly meeting and a cordial hand- shake for granted; but the Italian ruler, by nature humble has never learned to presume on the veneration of his fellowmen, His training as a boy was calculated to keep him unpretentious, for it was a training of extraordinary hardness and sever- ity, Re did not rough it, like sonic Princes, merely for the benefit of the public, and relapse behind the scenes into the spoilt child and pampered young man. The thing that shows the real worth of the King of Italy is the absence of reaction since lois ac -r cession. The Spartan boy when he grows up and has his own way, often makes amends to himself. The King is the rare creature, a Spartan boy who has grown to be a Spartan man, The ICing of Italy, who has taken his place at the head of his armies, has never cultivated the martial as. peat dear to his father. The exag- gerated moustache and fierce brow of the late King were inherited, or copi- ed, from Victor Emmanuel, and did not indicate any real military experi- ence or power. They served their purpose, nevertheless, on parade and in procession. The present King is of another type. Always rigidly straight, and soldierly in a neat cath. er than a picturesque way, he is quite one of the smallest of European rul- ers. A Test of Lunacy. It is said that in a certain lunacy asylum one of the tests applied to find out if a patient is sufficiently re- covered to be discharged, is to give him a broom and put him in a room with a water -tap turned full on. If he proceeds placidly to sweep up the water without turning off the tap his standard of intelligence is not deem- ed to be high enough. The Swiss reckon that their cupola fort on the St. Gothard; manned by 200 artillerymen, could easily hold the pass against an army of fate thousand, ICE CREAM • (IT'S A FOOD) The consumption of City Dairy Ice Cream is in- creasing creasing every 'season.
