to advantage in making a very wholesome and nutritious dish at a time when the raw material is very low in price. The outside leaves and hard core ' of the cabbage should be removed and the rest shredded very finely. Salt should be at the rate of one pound to four gallons of slaw. Line the keg at the bottom and sides with the large leaves of the cabbage, put in a layer of shredded slaw three inches deep and sprinkle about two ounces of salt over it. Fill up the keg in this way, keeping a lining of the large leaves at the sides. Pound mass down until very compact, cover wtih leaves and a wooden cover made to fit inside keg and then put a heavy weight on the cover so that all the cabbage will be under the mine Til the, time. Skim occasionally ami see that there is plenty of brine. During the warm weather, the time of curing will be about three weeks when the kraut will be ready for use or for canning. To can kraut, fill jars tightly," partially tighten tops and sterilize for an hour and a half in boiling water. After sterilization, remove jars and : tighten tops and invert to cool in ' place free from draught. Sauer kraut may be served at the table in several appetizing ways. It , may be served raw. tried, boiled with i various combinations of vegetables, and baked with certain meats. It makes excellent salad. • The National Emergency Food Garden Commission will send manuals on Canning and Drying for a twotent stamp sent to 210 Maryland Building. Washington, D.

Aug., 15, | (By Mail)—Alsace and Lorraine are' being milked dry by the Germans while they still have the opportunity to do so, according to authoritative information that has just reached France byway of Switzerland. So clean is the final sweep now ■ being made by the Germans, both of everything eatable and usable, that the condition of the civil population, desyl e the fact that Alsace and Lorraine, still rani: «ts German provinces, is lit".'' of any better than that of the inhabitants of invaded Belgium. All metals that could be used in the manufacture of war materials was long ago taken by the Germans including the church and school bells, organ pipes, door knobs, stills and cooking utensils. Amongst the latest things requisitioned were the famous bells of the Strabourg cathedral which were hung in 1805 to replace the historichells destroyed during the revolution. Food restrictions and food requisitions are now being imposed. Not only are the Germans requisitioning all live stock but the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine are under military orders, with military penalties attached, not to kill a single food animal. Requisition is also being made of smoked meats; dried fruits, potatoes, vegetables, wheat and flour. The restrictions have reached a point where the farmers are no longer allowed either to milk their own cows or collect the eggs laid by their own hens. All this is done by the German soldiers in order that every Particle of food may be controled arid may go to the German authorities. As the farmers no longer have the use of I their own milk, but ter is no longer to Ibe found. Oil and coffee are also no longer obtainable. I These conditions coupled with the I liquidation by the Germans of all propowned entirely or in part by , French capital and French people iiave reduced me position of the civil population to one of half starved an 1 , abject misery. o 1 TENNIS TOURNAMENT MONDAY 1 (United Press Service' 1 .

’keep GOOD EWES AND EWE LAMBS. Sheep have never been so profitable In Indiana as they are at the present itlme. The extreme scarcity of mutton land wool over the entire country and ■ also In foreign sheen producing countries indicate, Iwyond n doubt, that a prosperous future for the sheep Indus [try in Indiana Is assured. In 1893 the United States produced 1 348,500,000 pounds of wool. This , amounted to about 6.5 pounds per head •cf population for that your. Since that time the production of wool has decreased until in 1916 there were only 2.8 pounds of wool per capita. This is a reduction of about 57 per cent of home grown wool. | In January 1911 there were about 9,789,000 sheep on the farms in the ■corn belt states of Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, lowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. | In January, 1916. there were 8.4:.i.000 head in these states or a reduction of 1,361,000 head In these states or a reduction of 1,361,000 head in five years. I In Indiana there are about 1.005.''00 sheep at the present time. It is < aii• servatively estimated that this n«tn-| her can he doubled without replacing any other class of livestock.
