BACKACHE Wonderful relief from pain Backache is one of those wearying complaints which bind all their victims together with a common bond of misery. And when any one sufferer from backache finds a sure remedy, fellowship prompts the quick report of that discovery to others.' Here's a woman who has her friend to thank for knowledge of a remarkably successful treatment. Now gratitude compels her, in turn, to pass along the good news to you. "1 am writing to tell you of the great benefit I have received from Krusehen Salts. My friend, Mrs. H., had received so much benefit that she begged me to give Kruschen a trial, although at first I was doubtful, because I had tried so many things. At last, however I tried some of her Kruschen, and, feeling hopeful, I purchased a bottle, and I can honestly say that before I had finished the bottle my backache was gone. I have suffered for years with kidney trouble and dreadful headachesaand now to be free from the pain altogether is wonderful."— (Mrs. C.) points; Ralph Caldwell, 11 points.

HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES To prevent the water in the refri- gerator from overflowing, place the dishpan under the refrigerator. Each time you need the pan for dish -wash- ing, uee a small WW1 until the pan is ready to , be replaced. The pan is then emptied three times a day. e." The coffee can with tight -fitting covers, if well aired to banish the coffee aroma, make good containers for cereals, cracker or bread crumbs, seedless raisins, shelled nuts and whole spices. They protect their con- tents from dampness and insec-,s and look very trim sitting in a row with paper labels pasted on to signify the contents pf each. A pound tin will hold a package of most cereals. If desired, the tins can be enamel- led to match the kitchen trimming; also, waterproof labels may be cut from wide adhesive tare and the name of contents written all in waterproof ink. * * * -Jo England where thee would :ea, AA spies. This was dpue by the lesele of false passperts lashieli guaranteed that the „spies were, reputable American citizens. Carl Hans LeelY, one ef the most notorious of GerMan spies, was thus enabled, to reach England where his careee was cut short by a fixing squad one bleak, but 11011, we hope, too bleak, winter morning. Boy -Ed's fertile brain is also .said to have de- vised a scheme whereby German war- ships at sea were supplied by the vessels of neutral nations, but this menace was ended, of course, when there ceased to 'be any .Germen 'war- ships at sea. Just what Boy -Ed did is not likely to become known, for the present German Government has refused to publish the secret documents cover- ing the campaign of sabotage it con- ducted in neutral and enemy coun- tries, and these acAtivities in Canada and the United States were under his direction. was also• supposed to have tried to foment an insurrection in Mexico. We may at least take it for granted that he was extremely busy and that he' recognized no laws of hospitality where the interests of Germany were concerned. Naturally he denied all the charges, made a - against hive but his denials lacked both conviction and suavity. He became embroiled with news,papers, an occu- pation traditionally profitless, and gradually American public opinion centred on him rather than on Bern- storff as an enemy within the gates. They were demands for his recall and they became more furious 'at the time the Luisitania was sunk, for Boy - Ed lacked the good sense to remain silent in this crisis. In the end, Washington gave him and Von Papen their passports, and they left the United States to an accompaniment of cat -calls and cries of "Attaboy, Ed!" The United States did not make public the precise grounds of the de- portation but merely announced that the two had been guilty of "improper activities in naval and military mat- ters." Through the rest of the war, eve presume, Boy -Ed conducted him- self like a patriotic German though we do not remember luaving heard just what he did. He might have done service in Turkey for he was the son of 'a Turkish merchant, his mother having been a popular German author- ess. It is a curious kind of par- entage and it may be that Boy -Ed will be remembered' as the most il- lustrious specimen of it to have fig- ured in world affairs. In 1919 he wrote a book about the 'MT called "The Plotter," and in this his war- time experiences in Washington were recounted. Apparently in time he forgave the land that had hustled him out so unceremoniously and express- ed a desire to revisit it. But the 'United States refused to bury the hatchet so far as Boy -Ed was con- cerned and would not permit his en- try, though his wife whom he mar- ried in 1920, returned to her native land several times. She had been formerly Miss Virginia Mackay - Smith, daughter of the late Bishop Mackay -Smith, of the Episcopal dio- cese of Pennsylvania. It has been noted 'before that bishops' daughter:, sometimes pick up some queer hus- bands. • Boy -Ed joined the German naval service when he was 19 and became in time the chief lieutenant of V07,1 Tirpitz when he launched his big navy scheme. It was not by accident that he was sent te the United States, for if great events had not been ex- pected there, a man of Boy -Ed's abil- ity and originality could hardly have been spared. Once in the United States he proceeded to Americanize himself so far as appearances went for he shamed off his Prince Henry whiskers and became outwardly indis- tinguishable, from any other stalwart young American with a military bear- ing. After the war he entered the commercial shipping business. His death was brought about through a riding accident, and it is interesting to note that riding and plotting were Bay -Ed's favorite pastimes. When Cleaning Brass. 'When cleaning brass door knockers door knobs and drawer handles, place around the fixture a thin cardboard that has been cut to fit it closely. This prevents the polish from being srnearet over the wood and does away with an extra cleaning job.

To make a pieced quilt without quilting frames—to use up pieces of material not large enough for other purposes—get plain chambray or tur- key twill or any material that is the same on both sides, and sew squares corner to corner on one side, then turn the quilt over and sew similiar squares on the single material on the wrong side. Any contrasting colors will make a pretty spread—and there will be no padding required: The quilt is lighter to handle, too, when it requires laundering. * * * Wallpaper Books for Scrap Books. If you should have on hand an old wallpaper book, do not throw it away if there are children in the family. Use it as a scrap book. If it is a large one, so much the better, as large pictures then can be pasted in it. There is fun and education for the children when they make a scrap book. Allow them to cut out pictures of interest dealing with different coun- tries, keep the pictures dealing with each country together and add to each group as new and interesting pictures are found. Start one page with a house, then have the children furnish each room in a house with pictures of furniture.

Our emotions are now suf- ficiently under control to permit us to say a few words about Captain Boy -Ed, whose name first came into world-wide prominence some time after the outbreak of the World War. He was then naval attache to the German Embassy at Washington. He MS hardly less vocal than Bern- storff, the German Ambassador, in de- fending his country's cause, and prob- ably a good deal more active than his chief in promoting it. Captain Boy -Ed was, in fact, a man of deeds rather than words. His partner in these ac- tivities, which was forbidden by the laws of neutrality, was Captain Franz Von Papen, the military at- tache. Not content with writing let- ters to the newspapers, they sought to help their fatherland by more sen- sational means. To this end they be- gan to organize various anti-British organizations, providing them with money. They also collected some patriotic criminals whom they sent on missions of sabotage to Canada, though we are not aware that they were able to do any particular dam- age. It was said that they spent not less than $27,000,000 in the course of this campaign which eveotually led to their recall by thetiFerman Government. If we are not mistaken the late John Rathom, at that time editor of the Providence Journal, was chieflly in-, strunnental in exposing Boy -Ed and Von Papen. Ire was no doubt great- ly helped by the British secret ser- vice and his publication of articles in the Journal, which were widely copied throughout the 'United States,. had a good, deal to do with provolang the slaw American wrath against the German propagandists. Real evidence against the pair of Washington plot. ters was found in, the confession of Richard Peter Steglpr, a German re.. servist. He said that Iloy4d was the director of a Aug whose biasiriete was to get Gentian restervists into Md. GOOD BISCUIT RECIPES Foundation Recipe.
