If you have a sweet-tooth, just pull it. Write, telephone or tell the news to The Weekly. Verily has this winter been just one hard freeze after another. One single bushel of meal uster wouldn’t get The Weekly a whole year—but it will now. If there’s any spoiled meat in this section, surely it cant be from a lack of cold weather. Potato and onion—what a salad for Saturday night when you are not expecting company. A Minnesota woman is said to have put acid in her son’s eyes to keep him out of the army. Moth er love verily passeth the under standing. The food administration advises you to try a rye bread cottage cheese and tomato catsup sand wich, which is said to give the palate a thrill you’ll probably re peat. Gradually war conditions are brought to forcible realization. Before it is nv°r many people will doubtless find they can get along on much less than they had ever thought. Through the courtesy of Sena tor Hoke Smith, The Weekly re received a sack of garden seed for free distributi m. A few pack ages left may be had by any one caling for them. Shortage of wheat in France is daily becoming more alarming. Pastry is now classed as a luxury and its manufacture or consump tion suppressed except on Sun days and holidays. The U. S. Food Administration wishes to place the Irish pota to every day in the year on eyerv table in America. They say this potato furnishes bulk, nourish ment, mineral salts and a correc tive alklinity in the diet. They arc classed as plentiful this year and reasonably cheap. Only Christian Relig ion Can Save World. The following editorial from the pen of Henry Watterson, written upon the occasion of the fiftieth ann '.ii-ary of th*‘ Louisville | Courier Journal, is timely. It is worth careful reading and serious consideration : And now after all these years, lire Courier Journal faces the greatest cataclysm, the most dire ful tragedy, of all these ages, i The world is torn up by the roots. It is literally up-side down. If, when we get “over there” in the coming spring, we are not able to end the war —if, tor any reason, the campaign dwadles as it has been doing—‘each side just able to bold its own, neither side able to attain decisive advantage-through the summer and autumn and into the winter 1918-19 —something will break loose in this country, and maybe, in other allied coun tries as well. Heaven help the world if the war issue gets into the tangled web of American politics; though even worse might come to pass. The Courier-Journal is not a pes simist. It has been always an op timist. Yet seeing that the uni verse has gone in collapse at least twice according to its recorded story, why not once again? It is not a stretch of fancy to conceive, even from surface indi cations, an irrepressible conflict between capital and labor, i. e., the rich and the poor, to be possi ble. That may be hut a question of time in the Anglo-Saxon part of it. How shall it be settled; as our sectional irrepressible conflict was settled ? Human nature and character do not. seem to have changed, either for better or worse, with the de velopment of human ingenuities. Men and women appear much the same as they appeared two thou sand —five thousand —years ago. With the manhood of this genera tion depleted by war and havoc, its womanhood unsexed and de generated by feminism, who in the final test shall come to the rescue of civilization ? These are ugly questions. And they rise like lions across the highway. Shall it be written that the nations, having reached the apex of the acclivity —having ar rived where Greece was —where Rome was —wealth and luxury able to go no farther —deliberate- ly set themselves to annihilate one another and to destroy the accre tions of the centuries? As mat ters are who can say they may not be for the third time on the down grade, headed for another C} cle of what we call the “Dark Ages ?” Surely the future looks black enough, yet it holds a hope, a sin gle hope. One, and one power only, can arrest the descent and save us. That is the Christian re ligion. Democracy is but a side issue. The paramount issue, underlying j the issue of democracy, is the re ligion of Christ, and Him crucified; the bedrock of civilization; the source and resource of all that is worth having in the world that is, that gives promise in the world to come; not as an abstraction; not as a huddle of sects and factions; but as as a mighty force and prin ciple of being. The Word of God, delivered by the gentle Nazarene upon the hillsides of Judea, sanc tioned by the Cross of Calvary, has survived everv assault. It is now arrayed upon land and sea to meet the deadliest of all as saults, satan turned loose for one last final struggle. The Kaiser boldly threw down the gauge of battle—infidel Ger j many against the believing world —“Kultur” against Christianity— the Gospel of Hate against the Gospel Love. Thus he is in satan personified—“ Myself and God” merely his way of proclaiming it — for his “God” is belzebub, the Agent of Destruction, his creed tiie devil’s own, his aim and end a hell on earth. Never did Crusad er lift batde-axe in holier war against the Saracen than is waged by our soldiers of the Cross against the Germans. The issues are in deed identical. If the world is to be saved from destruction —physical no less than spiritual destruction —it will be saved alone by the Christian re ligion. That eliminated leaves the earth to eternal war. For fif ty years Germany has been or ganizing and laboring to supplant it with “Kultur,” the genius of in fidelity, Her college professors have been obsessed with it. In acclaiming “Myself and God,” the Kaiser has put the imperial seal upon it. When our armies have run it to its lair —when they have crushed —naught will have been gained unless the glorious banner of the cross is hoisted —even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness—and the misled mass es of Germany are bade to gather about and beneath it as sadly they collect the debris of their ruin for the reconstruction of the Father land. The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one’s self. All sin is easy after that. —P. J. Bailey.

To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
