WOMAN SPY LURED EDITOR INTO THE ENEMH HANDS Carl Minster, American Citi

zen, Followed Her Until

Seized on Dutch Border.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12. Carl Minster.

the German-American editor of Der

Kampf, a revolutionary anti-kaiaer weekly published in Holland for open circulation among the German refugees in that country and secret circulation among Germans at home, was lured to his fate by a woman spy in the service of the German government, according to an account ot Minster's kidnapping written in Amsterdam by

woirgang Bretthaupt and printed in

uie t reie zeltung of Bernw on Jan. 5 As was reported in a Washington dis

patch of Feb. 2, the Dutch government has asked the Germon authorities to

take no action in the Minster case until it can be thoroughly investigated by Dutch officials. Whether this re

quest has been granted or whether Minster has already been put to death, like so many German deserters seized on Dutch Boil by German agents, is not known in this country. After pointing out that Minster was a particularly sharp thorn in the side of Prussian Junkerdom because of his prestige among the Bolshevik! and his persistent agitation in favor of antiwar action by the German masses, Breithaupt describes how the editor went to the Dutch-German border on Dec. 11 to get a letter which he had been told was being sent to him by Hugo Haase. the Reichstag leader of the Independent Socialists. Breithaupt goes on: "The plot to which Minster fell a victim was worked out months ago The only thing that made its accomplishment possible was the fact that a 'woman comrade' who attended to the transmission of his mail over the border had sold herself to the German Secret Service. Captor Hid Behind Fence "Minster followed the 'woman comrade,' who said she wanted to give him the letters concealed on the border, to a little frontier hamlet. Just how the boundary line runs at that point is not known, either by the border guards or the persons living there. In general a little brook is regarded as the dividing line. This brook is spanned by a little brldge( separated by a fence with a narrow gate. "It is certain that the boundary line, if not behind the bridge, goes through its centre, something that is shown by the fact that two German and two

Dutch communities bear the cost of its maintenance. Close to the bridge there is a house on Putch territory. From this house Minster followed the 'comrade' to the fence, where he was suddenly seized by a powerful man. who had hidden behind the fence, and

carried into German territory, the'

agent being assisted by four accomplices who bad quickly sprung to his aid. . Two cf these accomplices had been hidden in a house utanding on Dutch territory and occupied by t German

non-commissioned officer stationed on , ihe border. All this has been testified j to by four impartial Hollanders. An old Hollander who had been standing, on the bridge before the attack took

nlao was enticed over for a 'chat by the German guard so that hia presence would not interfere with the smooth execution of the affair. "From the beginning there could be

no doubt that Minster had been seized j

in violation of international law and draggel into German territory. Minster, who was well acquainted with the methods of the German spy system and wso was very cautious, certainly would never have set foot upon an inch of German ground. Alleged He Crossed Border "At the German embassy the Chief of the Political Police was told in an exceedingly polite way that Minster bad been twenty metres over the German border when arrested. This declaration is rather nullified by the old axiom which says: "In Germany they lie when they are polite.' "For my part 1 have no doubt that this case would also end in a 'dead heat' if and here is the critical point for Holland Minster were not au American. The friendly relations between the United States and Holland are not in such condition as to need this further stirring up to make them still more 'cordial.' The United States however, will not worry very much

t,bout the Dutch 'easy going way,' but:

will demand the delivery of its kidnapped citizen from the Dutch government, under whose protection Minster succumbed. "There is also a satirical side to the Minster case. Minster was in the closest and most friendly relations with the editors of the revolutionary Tribune which, as is well known, has been authorized by Lenine to function as the European bureau of mediation of the Maximalist government, and Minster's opinion is highly valued by the revolutionary comrades. Just at the moment when the Maximalists are negotiating with the Imperial German government German agents seize a Maximalist revolutionary on Dutch soil no as to throw him Into prison. This ought to give Messrs. Lenine and Trotzky something to think about."

1 MRT. EL1ZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) Will you please tell me where I can sell tinfoil and how much I can get for it? (2) I am a girl of fourteen and I am spotted with heavy freckles. Can you give me a good and simple remedy and bow and when to use it? (3) I left school and I left behind

a very good and friendly teacher. Do you think it would be all right to write to her? And what would it be best to write in the letter? SUN BONNET. (1) Pure tinfoil is very high in price now, but most of the thin metal foil you see now is not tin. Aluminum and lead are both used as substitutes. Yon can, however, usually dispose of any sort of foil at scrap metal deal

er's place, and the price of it will depend on the dealer and on the metal you have. Pure scrap tin sells for about seventy-five cents a pound, over two or three cents a pound, aluminum, about thirty and lead not (2) Heavy freckles are very hard to remove, but you can try . the lotion made of two drams of zinc oxide, onequarter dram bismuth sub-oxide one and three-quarter dram of dextrin, and one and one-half drams of glycerine. Spread the paste upon the freckles at night before going to bed and remove what remains in the morning with a little powdered borax and almond oil. (3) It would be very thoughtful of you to write a little note to her. You might say that you have left school, but as you are very fond of her, wanted to retain her friendship. You might tell her what you are doing now, how you are getting along with your daily life and assure her that you appreciate her attention to you while you were in school. Put your own thoughts into the letter and she will value what you write.

H. -Ask him not to send the diamond until you can decide whether or not you love him. Yo do not love him enough to marry him or you would not be so much in doubt. Wait until he returns from the war before you decide. .

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Could it be through the American

Commission in Belgium or the Red Cross organization in France? Could you give me their address or where they can be obtained for I would like

THE WILL AND THE WAY "If I put my head to it, there are plenty of ways to save wheat," one young housewife was heard to remark as she was doing her day's marketing. "But it is so upsetting to have to change even the things we have always considered 'staple,' " she continued with a tone of annoyance. War is "upsetting." The whole world seems topsy-turvy. From economic upheaval to personal sacrifice it brings national and individual changes in its wake. The least of these, however, is the necessary changes in our marketing and 'eating. Without asking why or how, we have grown accustomed to the flavor of wheat. Now we are asked to learn to eat corn. The housewife who "put her head to it" found she could make the following changes in just one day's menu and save in her own family enough wheat to satisfy several European families on their present restricted wheat diet. These are her three menus as she would have served them in time of peace and plenty and then her wartime substitutions: Breakfast. Wheat cereal and cream Fruit Griddle cakes and sugar sirup Bacon Buttered toast Coffee Revised Breakfast. Hominy grits and whole milk Fruit Honey Hot corn muffins Coffee Luncheon Baking powder biscuit Lamb chops Angel food cake Salad Chocolate with whipped cream Revised Luncheon.

LOCAL GIRL TELLS OF CONDITIONS IN NATIONAL CAPITAL

Miss Caroline Smith, Richmond girl, who Is dotng clerical work in Washington, is working In the new National Museum building. In writing to friends here Miss Smith says: "The Military and Naval division of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance is stationed here. , "We are handling the claims of discharged soldiers and of widows, children and widowed mothers of the deceased soldiers. When I read some of the letters written by the mothers of the soldiers who have given their lives for their country, it makes me realize how littls I am doing for mine. "I understand people have the impression girls come here to take government positions and after wandering around the streets for hours are forced to return home for want of a place to slay. That is because the

girls do not know where to apply for rooms and not because of the scarcity of rooms. In every department of the government service is a bureau whose business it is to find rooms for the girls coming here to take positions. "The war department has a wonderful organization for that purpose. There is also an organization under the supervision of the Council of National Defense, called the City Registration Bureau. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. always have a list of rooms for rent aud are only too glad to aid girls in finding suitable quarters. "The experience of living in Washington and meeting people from all parts of the United States is wonderful as well as educational and besides, I am "doing my bit for Uncle Sam and doing it th-3 best I can."

GIVE YOUR STOMACH A MAGNESIA BATH

.1 Wonderful Treatment For Dyspepsia, lndlRentton and Sour, 1 pset Stomach

Xo man or woman who suffers from acid indigestion or dyspepsia can make a mistake by srivincr their stomach an

occasional internal bath with a little

bisurated magnesia, says a well known

authority. Ninety per cent or all digres tlv disorders are caused by "acid stom

ach." Nature provides hydrochloric acid as one of the digestive fluids but a great many stomachs jtenerate too much acid which irritates and inflames the stomach walls and causes partially

digested food to sour and ferment

Thus the stomach while f undamentally all rigrht develops gas. wind and the

plain commonly mistaken for indices tton.

This harmful, poisonous excess acid

in the stomach should be neutralized before it works its way Into the blood

and is carried all over the body. The moment your stomach burns or feels

our or the food you eat begins to hurt

ret a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia

from any reliable druggist and take a

teaspoonful in a little water. Relief

comes in five minutes by the watch. The Bisurated Masrnesia washes down

into your acid-inflamed and burning:

stomach and soothes and cools the

heated walls and takes up or neutralizes every trace of excess acid present

much as a piece of blotting paper or sponge might do. Every symptom of

stomach distress vanishes and natural, easy, painless digestion follows. Ad 7.

Just, a touch or two with Tee-mint and your corns and foot troubles are ended. It takes the soreness right out. then the corn or callous shrivels and lifts off. No matter what you have tried or how many times you have been disappointed here is a real help for you at last. You will never have to cut a corn again or bother with bungling tape or plasters. Hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes, jqst shrivel up and lift off so easy. It's wonderful. You feel no pain or soreness when applying Icemint or afterwards. It doesn't even irritate the skin. This new discovery made from a Japanese product is certainly magical the way it draws out inflammation from a pair of swollen, burning, aching feet. Icorntnt imparts such a delightful cooling, soothing feeling to the feet that it just makes you sigh with relief. It is the real Japanese secret for fine, healthy little feet. It is greatly appreciated by women who wear high heel shoes. It absolutely prevents foot odors and keeps them sweet and comfortable. It costs little and will give your poor, tired, suffering,- swollen feet the treat of their lives. Sold and recommended by good druggists everywhere. Adv.

Why suffer the handicap of looking rid? Gray hair, however handsome denotes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. When the hair fades, turns gray and looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearanced a hundred-fold. Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store a large bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," ready to use; but listen, avoid preparations put up by druggists as they usually use too mu?h sulphur, which makes the hair sticky. Get "Wyeth's," which can always be de1 ended pon to darken beautifully and is the best thing known. By using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. It does it so naturiilly and evenly you moisten a sponge or soft brush, drawing this through

the hair, taking one small strand at a time, which requires but a few moments. Do this at night and by morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two its natural color is restored and it becomes glossy ana lustrous and you appear years younger. 7 his ready-to-use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and not a medicine.
