Sound horses of any age fetch ex- traordinary high prices from the Germans, un_\‘tglng up to $500 being paid for draft horses. All roads leadinz to the frontiers are closed to traffic. Directly on the border line at wide intervals stand single sentries with their loaded rifles resting beneath their arms. About 200 yards further back is a second line of sentinels and be- hind these some distance in the rear are pickets of a dozen men with a non-commissioned officer. The smugglers naturally keep to side paths or go across country. In case they should be seen by the pickets they are at once arrestod and their loads confiscated. Citen, however, at night they succeed in passing through the gaps between the pickets. Then their progress be- comes more difficult and their pres- ence is often discovered by the in- {ner line of sentries who fire if the smugglers, as sometimes happens, {make a dash to reach the German lines. Occasionally the chase is a lively one and glves rise to a rapid fusillade, which in many cases proves fatal to the smuggler. ——— (By Associated Press.) Berlin, May 5—As a sort of auxil- iary to the army, by which every non-military man who may later be called on for service may know something of the art of shooting, there has ben formed, under "the leadership of Lieut-Gen. von , Kries, the “German Militia Association for Shooting with Military Weapons.” Donations of money are being sought in all parts of the empire to defray the cost of training men who as yet have been called to the col-| ors but who may have to serve and who then will need some time in preparing for the field. Shooting stands in many places are being placed at the disposal of the or- ganization. Where none exisit, pa- triotic individuals are being asked to contribute for their installation. — ——— Pretty Compliment. bad a habit of handling any- she thought was pretty.

Young Ahearn, who sent $§50 to the fund to buy boxing sloves for the British soldiers at the front, has received a card thanking him for his GRAPEFRUIT JUICE. Washington, April—A simple method of bottling the juice of grapefruit for use in making acid beverages is advocated by the Upnited States department of ag- riculture as a means of gaining a useful by-product from hun- dreds of thousands of cases of grapefruit which now are wast- ed. An investigation was under- taken at the urgent request oi Florida grapefruit growers wio reported that the market during the season would not take up a large proportion of the grape- fruit crop, and asked the depart ment to determine the possibili- ty of utilizing the fruit of its juice in some profitable way. All that is necessary, accord- ing to the government’s fruit juice specialists is to bring the, grapefruit iuice to the boiling point in a porcelain lined or en- ameled kettle, pour it while still hot into bottles, which then are hermetically sealed. The juice, » handled will keep indefi- and provides a base for grapefruit ade or other acid bev- erages having the characteristic acid, somewhat bitter flavor of the fruit. Experiments show, however, that it is hardly import- ant that the bottle be completely filled so that no layer of air be left between the top of the juice and the cork or seal. Where air in any amount comes in contact with the top of sterilized juice it will cause the juice to change its color. In handling the juice it is particularly important that it be kept from coming in contact with iron or other metals easily acted upon by acids. The investigators found also that it was possible to freeze the grapefruit solid ice and then by whirling the ice in a centrifugal machine, to take out a lafge part of the water and leave the solids and flavoring matter of the fruit. This freezing and concentrating of the juice greatly reduces the bulk and makes a product which can be sterilized by heating and kept indefinitely. Care must be taken to keep th juice from com- ing in contact with iron. Those who wish to make a clear juice may filter the grape- fruit juice before it is heated by adding to it from two to three Iper cent (about ounces avoirdu- pois to the gallon) or infustorial or Fuller's earth well washed !with hot water. The mixture is ‘then forced through a non-me- ltallic filter press and the clear juice reheated and boiled. With |the freezing process, the juice is | filtered after concentration, about twice the amount of infus- orial or Fuller's earth being used per gallon of concentrate. The chemists in connection with the bottling of grapefruit juice, notify the public that the came proces is not suitable for lbottilng the juice of oranges and lemons, which wil not retain their flavor if handled in this way.

In this of {electricity all this is antiquated. , The simplest of land title reg istration is the Torrens system— now adopted by ten states of the Umion. Hawaii, the Philippines, and several provinces of Canada. It would put land titles on the {same plane as registered stocks and bonds so far in commercial transactions is concerned. On this point auote from the report of a com- mittee appointed b ythe Com- mission on Uniform State Laws nade to that body at a meeting held last year: “One of the effects of registra tion of titles under the Torrens system will be to confer upon lands a new commercial quality by giving to them commercial mobility, by enabling owners to deal with their lands quickly, and safely, and by plac- certiificates of sible upon an cquality with registered stocks ind bonds, ma them ma able and readily available in business tra lateral for 1 conveyance title as far @ all ction, both as col- ans as well as for di- Naps last summer, only to prove a disappointment. The Red Sox, therefore, are compelled to rely en- tirely on Shore, Foster, Collins and several youngsters to keep them in the race. The return of Heinie Wagner to the infield is a source of much encouragement, however. e e e ————————————— for sterilized grapefruit juice, it is believed that many persons will find this juice, with the ad- dition of water and sugar a pleasant variation from lemon- ade or limeade. Thos who like grapefruit should find the bev- erage inviting. The method is so simple that those in regions where grapefruit are cheap and plentiful can prepare this prod- uct on a smal scale with ordinary household apliances. THE KNOCKER'S CREED. 1 believe that nothing is right. believe that everything is I believe that I alone have the right idea. The town is wrong, the editor is wrong, the teachers are wrong, the peo- ple are wrong, the things they are doing are¢ wrong and they are doing them in the wrong way anyhow. [ believe I could fix things if they would let me. If they don’t I will get a lot of other fellows like myself and we will have a law passed to make others do things the way WE want them done. 1 do not believe that the town ought to grow. It is too big now. 1 believe in fighting every public improvement and in| spoiling everybody’s pleasure. I am always to the front in oppos- ing things and never yet have I advanced an idea or supported a movement that would make peo- ple happier or add to the pleas- ure of man woman or child. ll am opposed to fun and am hap-. piest at a funeral. I believe inl starting reforms that will take all the joy out of life. It's a sad world and I am glad of it. Amen. wrong. FIGHT THE FLIES. Here are some rules for fight- ing the fly menace, which have been promulgated by the State Food Commissioner of Illinois, and which ought to be heeded in Auburndale : 1. Don’t buy food from any dealer who refuses to fight the fly. 2. Don’t purchase fruits or vegetables offered for sale un- screened. 3. Don’t patronize any dealer who hauls your food through the streets and alleys unprotected. 4. Don't eat fresh fruits with- onut thoroughly washing of be- fore peeling them. 5. Don’t throw garbage or re- se around the. house. 6. Don’t throw dish water and similar slops in the yard as this “draws” flies. | 7. Don't allow your neighbor | to be careless as to flies. 9. Don't forget to notify the local health officer of any fly nuisance. { fu The lightest and heaviest woods grow in the United States. The heaviest is the Florida ironwood and the lightest is the corkwood of Missouri. rect sales. The residents of one state are now f{requently land- owners in other state or interest- ed in loans secured on lands in other states, and as the Torrens system becomes better known 'Wd more widely established tificates of title will freely pass from state to state, thus in- creasing to a tremendous extent the bankable capital of the coun- try. And if it be desirable to have a uniform stock transfer act it is also desirable to have a un- iform Torrens act.” It is comparatively ecasy to borrow money on registered stocks and bonds, quite hard to effect a loan on a land title. Yet land is recognized as a more sol- id investment than stocks or bonds. There would be far less diffculty if it were not for the clumsy, behind-the-age methods of transfering real property and of recording such transfer. The state having once given its guar- antec that the title to any parcel of land is vested in a certain party that party's title can not be further disputed; the deed, whatever its form, has the same quick value as any hond or share of stock. Wherever the Torrens law has been adopted its constituenality has been upheld by the courts. It belongs to that class of re- forms to which the opposition grows less and less as its opera- tion is observed and experienced. Most of the larger states, the most populous, those in which land values are highest, have adopted this law and it is only a question of time when every state will have placed it on its statute books. The legislator who votes against it is merely voting to postpone the inevita- ble.—~Times-Union. THE GERMAN VIEW By Hugo con Klest The American Independence U ion which was founded at Washing- ton on January 30 last to prepare the ways for a general organization of those who oppose the present policies of this government on the European question, has not been idle. The executive committee has been in session every week to out- line a scheme of nation-wide organi- zation, and has published in small pamphlet form a rousing exposition of the plans and appeal to all sym- pathizers with the causes of fair paly and absolute neutrality. The com- mittee has perfected its working staff by electing Dr. Thomas C. Hall, vice-president; Mr. A. P. Moore, publisher and editor of the Pitts- burgh Leader, secretary; and Mr. James Gear of New York, treasurer. German and Austrian trade in In- dia is dead for the time being, and the sentiment of the entire business element in Tndia is so strongly aroused against these countries that any important revival of business relations with them is altogether un- likely for many vears to come.
