Make a batter with two well-beaten eggs, a dash of salt, and two tablespoonfuls of sugar; one cupful of milk, a cupful of flour sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder.

When the thermometer is climbing into the ninetieths usually the time when it is necessary for the frugal housewife to prepare for the winter supply of preserves and marmalades, which can never be bought in the market equal to the home-prepared kinds. It takes real fortitude to take the time one would enjoy at lake or stream to prepare fruit, even in the best equipped and ventilated kitchen, in hot weather. Peaches, which are such delicious fruit, may be a delight long after they are out of season if carefully prepared. Peach Marmalade. Boil 12 pounds of peaches until reduced to a pulp, with a small amount of water, then put them through a sieve and add a half pound of sugar for each pound of fruit. Boil together, stirring con stantly, until reduced to a thick marmalade. Put away in bottles or jars for winter use. A delicious filling for cake or for a sauce for ice cream may be made of very ripe peaches, peeled and put through n colander, then mixed with equal pa; of sugar and put in sealed Jars in the ice chest. Weeks after peaches are out of the market this sauce will still be good if kept in cold storage in the ice chest. This makes yxcellent fruit, for shortcake, too. Plum Catsup. Take half a peck of blue plum3, one pint of vinegar, half the weight of the plums in sugar or less l liked less sweet. Add a tablespoonful each of cloves, cinna mon and allspice, tied in a muslin cloth. Boil all together, strain through a colander and boil again until of the right consistency. Spiced Peaches. Take three pounds of sugar, a pint and a half of good vinegar, one ounce of cloves, two sticks of cinnamon, boil all together, then add seven pounds of peeled peaches. Let them heat through slowly, then when tender and rich in color dip them from the sirup and put into jars. Boil the sirup down till quite thick and pour over them. Seal and serve with meats in winter. These are the same as the old-time pickled peaches which were never peeled. A Wonder Woman. "He used to be quite flowery. Used to call his wife a wonder woman when he was courting her." "Well, isn't she still a wonder wom an?" "In a. way, yes. Now she wonders where he is nights." Heading Him Off. "Why do you always laugh at every thing that man says?" "Because I know he will say it again If I don't laugh at it when he says it the first time."

Is Russia's Great Naval Base for the Baltic, Constructed at Vast Ex pense, and Center for Her Submarine Flotillas. If the bombardment of Llbau by a German warship was effective, then Russia was certainly wounded in one. of her most important naval strategic positions. . To Russia Libau is a port of very great concern and one that normally in time of war should be of prime Importance to her, especially in' the winter time. .. r St. Petersburg is substantially ice bound for months each year. -This is the reason for Libau's military signifi cance. This Baltic city lies far enough south of the capital to be substantially an open port the year round, and by a moderate use of an Ice breaker contin uous intercourse by sea is maintained the winter through by vessels running to Germany, England and the United States. In fact, Libau is the home port for the Russian volunteer fleet whose ships enter New York. Originally Libau offered poor induce ments for either a naval base or a commercial port, the town lying upon a stretch of low sandy coast directly exposed to the sweep of the Baltic gales, while the water off shore deep enedso gradually that its shallowness Induced a very nasty sort of sea. How ever, it was a matter of necessity and money was not allowed to count. Accordingly, the Russian authorities adopted heroic measures and set about the building of an artificial harbor. With characteristic extravagance the work was started and carried through in the face of many difficulties. Tcday Libau boasts two harbors, one military, the other commercial, and both lie behind a great breakwater more than four miles long, pierced by two narrow and heavily guarded en trances. Once Inside of that shelter a very large fleet can anchor securely no matter how hard it may blow In the Baltic without. It was there that Admiral Roshdestvensky assembled his ships before setting out for the far East and the fateful battle of Tsushima. Breakwaters are commonly built of big masses of piled rock capped with a topping of cut stone. But ordinary practice was out of the question at Li bau, and the engineers were soon face to face with a serious difficulty. Rocks were scarce in that sandy region, and even small stones could be gathered only by dint of a good deal of search ing. - To overcome the dearth of desirable material of nature's making and to avoid the impracticable alternative of bringing rock overland by very Inade quate rail facilities, it was decided to fashion monster blocks of iconcrete, weighing 30 tons apiece, out of the readily available sand. In this way millions of dollars were spent in the producing of artificial stone, and these enormous units were dumped upon the bed of the Baltic until they reached above the water's surface. For some years Libau has been the prime Baltic center for Russia's sub marine flotillas and an instructional base for these craft Indeed, the ad miralty has been engaged for some years in working out a general sys tem of submarine defence for the Bal tic, and any grave damage to the port will seriously affect her strategic pro gram for those waters. Although bombarded by the Ger mans, it is doubtful if any material damage has been, done the navy yard, and the destruction of the town, unlike the hidden naval basin and docks, would not hamper the port in a mili tary sense. It must not be forgotten that Libau is naturally an important railway ter minal, with lines running both back toward the Russian-German frontier and up along the coast tq the other Baltic ports, with a northern terminal at St. Petersburg. ; For purposes of supply it is therefore of the greatest concern to Russia to hold the harbor of Libau open to her shipping and to other craft bringing her contraband. The German attack was logical, but it is yet to be learned whether or not the results were conclusive. If so, the kaiser has scored heavily against the czar should the present Btruggle run on into the winter months. Modern Wars Are Short. The more modern the war the short er it is apt to be, especially when only central Europe is involved.

Unguessable Quantity of Coin and Bullion Buried In the Ground Na tions' War Ohests Estimated , to Contain $2,OCO,000,OOC. European authorities figured that when the Balkan war began and there was dread among the common people of Europe that a. general war might result, nearly $350,000,000 in gold was hoarded in three countries in sums ranging from a gold piece or two up to tens of thousands of dollars. Austria-Hungary was credited with hiding away $150,000,000, Germany $65,000, 000 and France $130,000,000. This was money which had been traced into those countries just before the Balkan hostilities began and after war started. In addition to this vast sum there was an unguessable quan tity of gold already buried in the ground. Russia is believed to have tens of thousands of hoarders of money. It 13 utterly Impossible to guess at the amount of gold which tlje people of Russia have put into the ground or into the 'cellars of their homes. The sign of wealth would mean the com ing of the tax collector, and among the men: who look poor are owners of immense weight in gold. Vast sums of gold and silver coin have gone into Russia, which seldom lets go of it. The great imperial war chest has behind it, if the signs mean anything, other sums in little war chests gold which the government might draw out if it offered lands for sale,, or -bonds the -people would trust, or opportunities in commerce hereto fore denied them. England has its hidden hoards, no onef knows how large or how many, but , there is concealed in England nothing like the amount that is hidden in continental Europe, where foreign armies have only to cross a surveyed boundary line or a little creek to raid their enemies. Turkey, whose people have been terrorized for ages, has more tost hoards than the world will ever know about, because there the hoarding hag gone on for ages, during which armies have swung- up and down the denuded lands, tearing down cities and destroying everything that could give comfort or sustenance to an enemy.. Spain has millions of dollars in gold, silver, pearls and gems buried and lost in a ; thousand ancient ' castles, monasteries and other public build ings. Jn the hejday of her glory Spain imported countless millions of gold and silver from the Americas and faithless officials made away with great sums in bullion, biding it away and many of them never recovered it- India is the bottomless pit of the world's gold. In one year India im ported $300,000,000, and there ha3 never been a time, apparently, when India was not importing gold, silver and precious jewels. In the temples of India there are said to be $1,800, 000,000 in precious metal and precious stones. If the hoards of Europe could be tapped if the hidden treasures of Eu ropean cities should be tapped b-- in-, vading armies the possibilities of loot in jewels and precious metate are beyond compute. But all the loot pos sible would not compensate for the hundreds of .thousands of ounces of gold which must be paid each day for army sustenance and equipment. In olden times wars paid for themselves, reckoning from the viewport of the victors. Wars were then for loot. The war chests of Europe are sup posed to contain about $2,000,000,000 in gold coin and bullion. What possi bilities of loot this indicates is in .some measure understandable whfrn one considers that this means about 50,000 tons of yellow metal and no mention is made of the bushels of dia monds, rubles, pearls and gems also in peril. RUSSIA RICHEST OF ALL. Of all the nations involved In this European war probability, Russia is the only independent one. She has gold mines in Siberia and not a penny weight of that gold ever gets out of Russia. It is all in the gold vaults of the empire. Russia doesn't have to borrow money for her war. She is the only nation of Europe that does not. Furthermore, Russia has food for her great army. She is the only nation that has. That is to say, she has claimed that she has the money, and has the wheat. This war will test the truth of her claims. Birmingham Ledger DOES YOUR SKIN ITCH AND BURN?
