Spain has for & long time been re- sorting to the sending of protests to Germany every time such a thing oc- curs. It has received, like other countries, the' fullsome promises of Germany that nofhing of the kind would be permitted to happen again, that it'would be paid for its losses and that Germany wants retain its friendship. But hew long. is King Al- fonso's country going to aceept such declarations and continue to have such injustices committed withont: do- ing something more than make a pro- test? Protests have amounted to ab- solutely nething in tbe past. There is much less reason to suppose that they will amount to anything now. The\ fact of the matter is that Ger- many doesn’t intend to pay any at- tention to the rights of that nation as long as Spain is willing to be tram- pled upon and de nothing. but pro- ;f*l: Its protests are getting to be 2 TRANSPORTATION HANDICAPS! There has heen no end to the ap- peals which have been made to the peoplo of this country regarding the curtaflipg of their consumption of wheat. They have been shown the necessity of using substitutes in or- der to make the supply meet , our needs at home, the requirements of the soldiers abroad and the démands of our allies, fo say nothing of the neutrals, But in view of the response which has been made and the increased sub- stitation which"is asked for it is a disconcerting _statement which comes from State Sengtor E. R. Brown of New York' state to the effect that the farmers of western New York are feeding their hogs, cattle, sheep and horses with whea: instead of the cheaper and more abundant eats and corn. This is certaiply a deplorable state of affairs if it is o, and the senator declares it is in every detail. 1t is not being done because the farm- ers are trying to cmbarrass the food administration or because they are disloyal but becavse, in spite of tne large amount of the grain which is or- dinarily used for animals, ft is impos- sible, to get the feed transported and ‘Right is Mors Precious than Peace” e PRODDING US TO GREATER EF- FORT. | Perhaps it is natural for the press #nd people of Germany to-be elated over the sinking of the Tuscania and for some of the leading men of af- fairs in that country to look upon that disaster as conclusive evidence of the powers of the submarines. They will have no reason to look upon it, however, as having any depressing ~ effects upon the determination of this | country. It is a loss that cannot help S being deplored, and there will be _ mmourning for the many brave sol- @ilers who lost their lives when the _ ship was torpedoed, but instead of | easting gloom over the country and * causing a general disheartening of the . people it is bound to have the oppo- site eftect. y This has already been evidenced in the” rush which was experienced at x"ncmlu offiges following the of the sinking. Those who were waiting for some such affair to be mroused to their duty were not slow in rising to the occasion, and it will e recognized that it calls not only its for service on the field of © battle but for the eniistments in the industrial ranks of the country where “more workmen are greatly needed in order to turn out the required ships ~ and supplies for a still more success ful conduct of the war.

NEW RULES FOR CAKE, Increased cost of materfals puts a premium upon the baker's ingenuity in devising new formulas for eake. Granulated sugar is used in place of Powdered sugar. Brown sugars and { molasses have been found economical | for cakes and cookies containing ! spices. The fiavor of dark sugars and | molasses pleasgs the publie to.such’ an extent that very often these cakes sell better than goods made with white sugar, both as a matter of fla- vor and of reduced cost. Lard is now used in cake where buf- ter was formerly considered an indis- pensable shortening. and other savings are made by eliminating icings and frostings. Some cakes are slightly reduced in size—lady fingers, for in- stance. A sharp rise In the cost of almpnds and other nutshas led to the reduc- tion of quantities used in cake. As a rule, the bakers find it advisable to efther raise .the price or reduce the size of cake rather than cheapen the quality. MIXING FRUIT. When mixing any batter in which fruit, such-as raisins, currants, citron, etc, is used, add fruit immediately after sugar and ehortening. This elim- inates dredging fruit with flour and always prevents fruit from sinking in the batter while baking.

Mr. Editor: A letter of Mr. Wore ter attempts to explain an oecurrehece that did not occur. and for which the blame thereof is thrown upon a report- er. This explanation, more than an; thing we can say, shows that the peti- tion which he claims was excluded on a technicality, was also to be kept from the public press by intention. Only one proposition, he says, was to be acted upon in that meeting—but he doesn't seem to realize that the proposition—namely, to change the neme of his church. had a negative as well as an afirmative side, and hence the meeting had two propositions—a yes and a no before it for conaidera- tion.

Why Otis Libréry Is Being Closed Two Days. Mr. Editor: The crificism of .so in- telligent a friend and patron of the {Otis Library as William ©. Gilman— in his communication of Saturday— merits careful consideration. He has certainly a right—as have “the people who pay the taXes’—to know why the library is closed on Sundays, or at any time. And in this connection may be nated the quite gemeral closing of the schoals the coal bin at the library, promptly efficient fuel inspector and some deal- Question of days and hours.
