"I found In Dcrlln the cold, metallic,

Germany Superior to Britain ir
Care of Prisoners.
Unheated Shelters, Bad Sanitary An
rangements and Insufficient Food
Found In England All Treat
ed Alike In Germany.
Frankfort. A Gorman recently re
leased from tho British prison camp
at Newbury, whero he was Interned
for three months, hns been Investigat
ing German camps. Ho compares
conditions as ho found them in New
bury with conditions In tho typical
German camp at Ituhlebont near Ber
lin. In nrrangementB for shelter, ex
ercise, sanitation and tho food supply
ho found the German camps superior
to tho British. Ills-report 1b published
In tho Frankfort Gazette, as follows:
In tho Gorman camp at Ruhleben
there 1b ample space for tho prisoners
to movo nbout. Tho.cnmp is located
on a former raco course, and tho
Bpaco bohlnd tho main pavilion and
tho Btnblcs is at tho freo disposal of
tho interned. They aro allowed to
tnko their exercises on the course It-
Belf for a couple of hours a day.
In tho British camp at Nowbury
there aro about 4,000 prisoners In
terned. Two-thirds woro sholtored In
tents, tho remainder in tho small
stablcB of the hurdlo race. Only In
tho spneo between tho tents or tho
stables was exerclao permitted. Tho
wallB of tho stablea cut off all view
of the pleasant Burroundlng country.
Always wo had tho same picture bo
foro our oyes hundreds of people
grown dull and apathetic by tho un
certainty of their fate, moving around
in tho samo small circle.
When rain or fog set In, as It does
almost dally during tho English win-
tor, It wa8 impossible to leavo the
tonta and stables. Tho clay soil was
soaked through, and tho dirt was sev
eral Inches .deep. Great pools of wa
ter caused noxious mlasmaa. Some
times theao poola wero so largo that
thoy barred tho passago entirely. j
When Prime. Minister Asqulth and
Mrs. Asqulth paid a visit to tho camp
a Bailor put a stick In tho mlro bear
ing a placard, "FiBhlng Prohibited
Here." Then ho sat on a bench he
had constructed and waited, holding
an improvised fishing rod in his hand,
until tho primo minister passed tho
spot. Mr. Aaquith shot a furtlvo
glance at tho commandant of tho
camp, who accompanied him. Next
morning tho fisherman was removed
to tho Islo of Man.
Day by day tho administration
sought to Improve tho systora of drain
ngo, but overy tlmo tho thick mlro
choked it again.
On tho contrary, ,tho cleanliness In
tho Gorman camp at Ruhleben is
worth emphasizing. Tho samo room
that serves for nlno or ton people In
tho EnglUh campB Bervea for five or
bIx neoplo at Ituhlobon. Not a slnglo
tablo nor a single chair waa provided
by tho EngllBh government during tho
tlmo of my internment. Trunks were
used na seats; other pieces of luggage
served as tables. Two things havo
boon arranged at Ituhleben which
woro entirely lacking in tho English
campB covered alloys whero tho
prisoners can stay when tho weather
la bad and Bteam heating In all tho
rooms.
Tho food which 1b given to tho pris
oners In England ia not bad. Tho
allowance however, Is not sufficient
for adulta.
Tho food In tho German campB can
bo called ample. Tho treatment of all
prlsonora at tho German camp 1b tho
Bamo. Tho EnglUh mllllonalro haa no
moro right then tho negro. Prlvato
food la allowed, but only in oxcoptlon
al cases.
In tho English camps money Is tho
moBt Important thing. Ho who la
fortunnto onough to havo mouoy can
got whatever ho IUcob it ho la on good
tenna with tho sergeant major, tho
representative of tho commandant.
Thla official Is particularly fond of
good clgara and English pounds. Ev
orybody in tho camp agreed that thla
amiable man would havo all tho money
of tho Gorman civilians In hla pockets

THE CHILD'S LUNCHEON.
A largo percentage of mothers all
over tho land have the ovcr-present
lunch-box problem to
8olvo each day. Some
whoro an ingenious moth
er who had four other
friends, each with a child
to send with a lunch bas
ket, proposed that onco
a week each prepare a
basket lunch for tho five.
in this way saving tho daily faak for
each. Tho mothers could do with
pleasure onco a weok what waa such
n bugbear in lta frequency. Tho moth
er knows that her child's mentality
aa well as his physical power dopends
upon his food largely and tho grow
ing child should 1iavo nourlahlng,
plain, wholesome and easily digested
food.
Tho child naturally craves sweets
and they should bo given In moderate
amount, ub they are necessary to fur
nish fuel. Sweets should bo given
at tho close of tho meal so that they
may not clog tho taste for the substan
tial things as thoy do If given before
or nt the beginning of a meal.
Another important point to romem-
ber with children is thnt their diges
tive processes aro much moro rapid
than with adults, and they need a
good, substantial lunch.
Eggs cooked hard and well aeasoned
make a most satisfactory sandwich
filling. Thin slices of meat between
well-spread slices of bread. Tho sand
wich is an Important factor, and should
havo first place. Bottles now may be
bought at a small price which will
hold a hot drink or soup, cocoa and
milk being tho drinks best for tho
child.
Fresh fruit, nn apple or nn orango,
a cake of sweet chocolate or a few
pieces of good candy make a well
enjoyed finish to a meal. The child
loves a surprise, will cat with relish
and digest a meal much. better If it
Is something that comes aB a surprise.
Cup custards aro most delicious des
serts, rice with custard and raisins
make another slmplo and tasty ono.
Rending Is to the mind, what exer
cise Is to the body. As by one, health
Is preserved, strengthened and Invigo
rated; by tho other, virtue (which Is
the health of tho mind) Is kept allvo,
cherished nnd confirmed. Addison.
FAVORITE DISHES OF OTHER NA
TIONS.
As America la made up of all nation
alities a few dishes which speak of
tho motherland will be
pleasant reminders.
Cock-a-leekle. Chop
'two pounds of veal and
put to soak in a gallon
and a half of cold water
for an hour. Heat slow
ly and simmer until the
liquor Is rich. Pour this
over a roasting capon or
fowl and cook five min
utes. Removo tho fowl, bone it, chop
flno and return to the pan. Add a pint
of leeks, season and cook until tho
leeks are tender.
Spanish Macaroni. Fry onions In n
bit of butter and olive oil until
brown, add a tablespoonful of Worces
tershire sauco and a teaspoonful of
chill powder. Put a half cupful of
macaroni into boiling water, salted,
and cook until tender, about twenty
five minutes. -Place the drained maca
roni In a buttered baking diBh and
pour tho onlona and half a can of
tomatoes over It. Mix well and sprin
kle with grated cheese. Bake a half
hour in a moderate oven.
English Stuffed Ham. Select n
fresh-cured ham and havo tho bono
removed. Fill with a stulllng mado of
bread crumbs, parsley, green pepper,
chopped, and seasonings of salt and
pepper, with butter to make tho right
richness. Tio up securely and lncloso
tho ham In a paste of flour and water
to keep tho Juices from escaping. Tie
in a cloth and put Into a pot of boiling
water and simmer gently for two or
three hours, allowing twenty minutes
for each pound weight. After the
