Saves Eggs
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder makes it
possible to produce appetizing and wholesome

than are usually required.
In many recipes the number of eggs may be re-
duced and excellent results obtained by using
an additional quantity of Dr. Price's Baking
Powder, about a teaspoon, in place of each egg
omitted. The following tested recipe is a prac-
tical illustration:

Washington. — President Wilson
from a sick bod ordered the arming
of American merchant ships against
Germany's ruthless submarine war-
fare, and at the same time issued a
proclamation calling an extra session
of congress to meet April 16.
The president's decision came sud- |
denly following the action of the !
senate in revising its rules to permit j
prompt action on important questions j
and the submission of formal opin- j
ions by Secretary Lansing and At-
torney General Gregory that he has |
the power to arm merchantmen with- j
out action by congress.
Fraught with the grave possibility
of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only after
he was convinced that Germany ac-
tually is proceeding with her cam-
paign of ruthlessness and has made
efforts to plot with Mexico and Japan
on the territorial integrity of the
United States.
Long before the order was given
from the White House all necessary
preparations for the arming of mer-
chantment had been completed at the
navy department. Secretary Daniels
issued an appeal to the press of the
nation to refrain from discussing the
preparations.
In deciding that he has power to
arm merchantment. the president took
the position that an old statute pass-
ed in 1R19, cited in the senate debate
prohibiting such a step without con-
gress' action, has no application to
the present situation. He is sure the
nation stands by him, judging by the
I the state the question of woman suf-
frage without the literacy test or the
grandfather clause attached.
! The literacy test feati "c, the bone
of contention and dlsagreeemnt in
democratic caucuses and councils
I since the women enfranchised states
of the west reelected President Wil-
son last fall, was stricken trom the
amendment, following two hours ot
! debate, the lengthiest discussion that
has attended consideration of any
, measure in the present session.
Democrats split on the "grandfather
clause" feature, also on the straight
! suffrage issue, while republicans uni-
formly opposed the literacy test.
100 SUBMARINE CHASERS
Are Ordered by the Government for
Immediate Delivery.
Washington. — Preliminary steps
v*ere taken by the navy department to-
ward contracting for quick construc-
tion of 100 or more high-speed coast
patrol boats of a new type for scout-
ing against submarines. At a confer-
ence in which a score of builders were
represented, assurances were given
that deliveries could be begun within
four months.
Plans for the patrol boats call for
craft 110 feet long, propelled by pow-
erful steam engines. Details of their
armament and equipment are now be-
ing worked out, but probably will not
be made public. They will be more
seaworthy and have a much larger
cruising radius than the standard "sub-
marine chaser," an 58 toot gasoline
motor boat.
Diplomats Are Notified.
The government has taken the only
Offering 160 Acres to Farm
Hands.
Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon it for food-
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
of a labor famine. A novel means of
solving the problem has been evolved
, by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm-
hand going to Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as a homestead, and to
! allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
\\ esteru Canada has been a big pro-
ducer of grain and it is estimated that
there is a shortage of over thirty thou-
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1U17. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
; having left the farms to go to war, and
I it is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to till their places
on the land at once.
It has been required In the past to
do three years' dutl^p on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce-
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. As
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmhand will make his en-
try for one of the IGO-acre farms, sat-
isfy the Government that he is work-
ing for a farmer and that time will ai>-
ply as residence on the land tiled for,
Just the same as if he was actually
living on it.—Advertisement.

and thus the combination acts not only as a

as a digestive and liver tonic. Syrup laxa-

Canada Offers 160 Acres
Free to Farm Hands
Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in
Maintaining Needed Grain Production
The demand for farm labor in Canada is great. As an inducement
to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF
LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD
and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to
apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it.
Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time
to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but
only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917.
This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment
for military service but solely to increase agricultural output. A won-
derful opportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same
time. Information as to low railway rates may be had on application to

risk bureau to insure American ships
was increased to $15,000,000.
Armed neutrality is expected to re-
move the practical blockade of
American ports and place the issue
of eventual war squarely on Ger-
many. An attack upon an armed
American ship will precipitate a fight
If the ship gets sight of the subma-
rine and an unwarned attack would
be regarded by the United Stales as
an act of war.
Germany's exact policy toward
American vessels sailing through the
war zone since its proclamation Feb-
ruary 1 ha not been quite clear,
owing to the fact that less than a
dozen such voyages have been made
and it is possible that all the vessels
that escaped succeeded in avoiding
the submarines entirely. It has been
suggested that Germany probably is-
sued instructions to her commanders
not to sink American ships without
every precaution for those on board,
as a last hope of keeping America out
of tiie war. The ruthless destruction
of passenger liners like the California
and the Laconia, however, is felt here
to render this belief improbable.
Other Neutrals Watched.
The effect of America's aciion upon
other neutral nations will be awaited
with keen intere;!. Vessels of those

menace.
\\ hen ves els p- il under the policy
of armed neutrality they will do so
with the full hacking of the adminis-
tration expressed in the form of a
war risk insurance and naval guns
and gunners. It was made clear that
i in tire background will be the entire
resources of the United States—ready
for action should Germany attack an
J American armed ship in violation of
the warning of the American govern-
ment.
The state department's view of de-
fensive armament, as expressed last
week, was that the mere appearance
of a German submarine or its perl-
scope near an American armed ves-
sel would entitle the vessel to take
all measures of protection on the pre.
sumption that the U-boat's purpose
