4 Thrsadbare War.

We have lost the score of victories and reverses of the 'provisionals" and the regulars in the Nicaraguan con- fiict We knew only in general way that the casualty list was mount ing slowly to the proportions of the list of fatalities and minor accidents of the American football season.
 For time the combatants had the war conveniently scheduled so that one could keep track of 1t without putting strain upon his memory. It appeared that one day Chamorro was to win and then the next was to he Vasquezs day at the bat. The victories of the former were ca5led from Buefields. while those of the latter were given publicity at Mana qua.
 At some period there was an in reference with this impartially ar ranged schedule so that confusion en- sued and it became impossible without q reference to the files to say which side was the victor on any given day.
 The world is also forgetting what citement which is growing over the more important Jeffries- Johnson con- flict we are likely to forget that there is war at all.
 But the Nicaraguans must take their little fracas off before the base bah season opens early in April or they will find themselves playing to empty houses.
 The revolution as we'll as the at tempt to put it down-has already become more or less of a bore

The New Sewer.

From the organization of the city government no city council of Phoe- nix ever before took a step of so much importance as was done last night when the plans for sewer were definitely decided upon and a bond election for sewer was ordered.
 IL may be added that no city coun- cii was ever before so confronted with the need of action. The rapid growth of Phoenix within the last two years-the extension of the thickly settled districts and the greater con- gestion within the older districts al- ready thickly settled had brought about an intolerabIe condition.
 The necessity for an adequate sewer system is the one proposition on which all Phoenicians agree; that is. all of them agree who have a care for the future of Phoenix, for its healthfulness and the greater value of its real estate.
 Without other facilities than those with which We have borne so long there could be no advancement of values People who have come here from abroad-from localities where sewer systems are regarded as essen tisl as water systems. found them selves amid conditions which excited their disgust and also their fear.
 They could not see how. amid such conditions. epidemics were to be averted and many of them so little believed that they could be averted. that they passed on to other towns where attention is given to sanita- tion.
 nix will not have the unenviable dis tinction Of being the only town in the United States of 25.0O0 inhabitants which has no sewer facilities worth speaking of
 The proposition to vote s400.000 of bonds for the installation of sewer system will hardly encounter any op- position. This is an investment which will appeal to all. to the cupidity. we may say, of those who desire higher real estate values and to the patriotic pride of those who care only for the fair fame Of Phoenix and for the health and welfare of it's inhabitants.
 We believe that a transcontinental railroad will be the greatest stimulus to our growth. But hardly more of stimulant than a new sewer system. Without a sewer system Phoenix is already big enough-yes, too big

SOME SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT
They May Be Used With Advantage in Every Household Even When
 No Boycott Is On.

With meat prices still at high water mark, in spite of boycotts and agita- tion. every good housewife must be | anxious to reduce the number of her 1 meat dishes. even if she does not care to go to the length of cutting them out altogether. and having once learn ] ed how to do this the practice will ! probably be continued If meat and
 plenty of it. has always been her motto she will find it difficult to change her ways. but when the change has been made she will find that the new way is easier and that the health of her family has improv- ed The usefulness of complete there can be little doubt that too much meat appears on the average American table
 A pound of cheese is generally con- sidered by dietitians to be equal in food value to two pounds. of meat. Thus the woman who is wont to pro- vide a two-pound steak for her dinner need buy but pound of cheese to secure the same amount of nutriment. while the cost will be much smaller Yellow cheese has the reputation of being hard to digest This objection is overcome by grating it or cooking it in milk so that it will not be eaten in thick, hard mass. It is not nec- essary, either. 10 serve the whole cheese allowance of the day en masse at one meal. Part of it can be used as rabbit or a golden buck or in a cheese macaroni and part can be grat- ed over a dish of mashed potatoes or other vegetables. sprinkled over fried or poached eggs for breakfast, or placed between slices of bread for sandwiches at luncheon. It can be used in salads and snuffles and make an attractive addition to a plate Of soup. Boiled or creamed rice with a grating of cheese makes an excellent luncheon dish. The rice gvies the starch and the cheese the proteid
 Beans contain both starch and pro- teid. ODe-half the weight of dried beans and peas is starch and one fifth is proteid.
 Most New Workers despise baked beans and enjoy poking innocent fun at the BostOnians for their proverbial fondness for them. But there are other ways Of using beans Black beans make an excellent soup for cold weather, and any. good cook will fur nish the recipes for using them, to- gether with recipes for peas, lentils and other leSuminous products.
 Bananas. chocolate. figs. raisins and nuts all contain body building mate rials. or proteids. and should be used more frequently than they are If bananas are fried boiled or baked there will be no danger of their being hard to digest. Boiled bananas prop erly cooked are a delicious vegetable at dinner. Baked with a sprinkling of butter and sugar they make a nour- ishing and attractive dessert
 Nuts. as every one knows, are ex- tensively used by vegetarians instead of meat. While they are no doubt an excellent substitute, the prices are high, especially when they are sold by the pound 'unshelled, the shells be- ing heavy and much larger than the kernels. Where expense need not be considered and meat boycott is the order in the household. they may be used in numberless ways. in salads, nut loaves, cake frosting and filings and in bonbons.

 ARE AMERICANS HONEST?
 That manufacturers will deliver by prepaid freight merchandise to the value of several hundred dollars to individuals in any part Of the United States, without inc deposit or prepayment Of single dollar, is a startling fact that is some thing of a puzzle to the conservative business man.
 IL is true. however. and the experi- cnccs of several mail-order houses in sending pianos on 3O-day trial to anyone anywhere have proved that the Ameri- can people Are honest. These experi- ~nccs have demonstrated that this method is pursued with practically no 'osses and an enormous increase in the business of those houses which endeavor . place really high-grade pianos ip American homes.

MISSION WORKERS ID GATHER IN

Large Crowd Expected at Annual Laymen's Mission
 ary Convention

The Laymen s Missionary convention, which will be held in Phoenix March f, , and 6, promises to be as interest ing to religious men and women as the aviation meet was to the secular circles of the territory The object of this con vention is to interest the Christian men of Arizona in world wide religious movement, which has for its purpose the spread of the Christian religion among all peoples and in all tongues. Just at present the Laymen's s Mission ary movement has it's strongest sup port in the United States and in Can ada, but Europe is also taking hold of the movement and it promises to be the religious marvel of the age.
 At the Phoenix convention there will be some of the ablest speakers in the world, who are coming to Arizona for the sole purpose of exciting interest in the movement and to tell the Christian men of Arizona what can be done by united effort on the part of the laymen of all the denominations. The conven- tion will consist, it is estimated, of not less than 300 delegates, each church in 1 Arizonaabeing cordially invited to send | delegates. The estimate, however, l does not preclude church from sending as many delegates as it wishes. In | fact, the committee is exceedingly ! anxious to see vast concourse of peo- | pie in Phoenix during the convention. | While the convention will welcome all corners, it will keep reserved seats for the delegates and steps will be taken ! for dollar banquet to five hundred del egates. If more are elected and come | they will also be cared for when the ] banquet is served.
 In fact, in taking up this matter, l Phoenix churches have moved with eel erity and great activity and are making | preparations on a gigantic scale. Com. mittees, composed of vigorous, energet' | ic business men, have been appointed l headquarters have been established, and large sum of money guaranteed and | every possible step will be taken tC ' make the convention vastly popular l The distinguished men who have been sent out by the national committee will | first meet the delegates in social way 1 at the dollar banquet and afterwards on the floor of the convention, where
 many important matters will be consid
 cred and discussed.

TELEPHONES BEING TRANSFERRED 10
 NEW EXCHANGE
Better Service Promised as Soon as Work of Transfer
 Is Completed

If the telephone service is poor for the next few days, if you have trouble in getting central, if it seems like half an hour before you get your number, don t say too many unkind words re- garding the telephone company.
 Just remember that the new ex- change. one of the finest and most up to date in the country, is being cut in and that in the telephone business, like any other line of work, the moving of an exchange means work and trouble for both the subscriber and the com pany as well.
 Yesterday the work of cutting tel ephones from the old exchange to the new was taken up in earnest. It had been thought that this work could be done in a few minutes, but rather than take possible chance of putting 8 number of phones out of commission for an indefinite period, the phones arc being cut over one at time. While this method is slower, it vii | not disable the service, although thu service will not be as good as 1t ha' been in the past, for the next few days.
 By the end of the week, however, th' new exchange should be in working order and after that, not city in th' southwest will have better service than will this city

DRAW THIRTY DAYS Will Serve Sentences Out of Jail to Keep Families
 From Suffering

Because of the fact that they are in the poorest of circumstances and jail sentence in either case would work a hardship on their families, Tomatio Santa Cruz and c. Amparano were given permission to serve thirty day sentences out of jail, by Judge H. H. Pratt yesterday.
 Santa Cruz was arrested on charge of having beaten Amparano over the head with a shovel, while both were working on an extra gang on the Ari- zona Eastern railroad. When the af- fair was thrashed out in court, how ever, it was found that both men were to blame for the fight and as the result, both were found guilty and given a month in jail.
 A further investigation by the court disclosed the fact that both men had little money and large families and to prevent the wives and children of the two men from suffering from their incarceration, Judge Pratt suspended sentence in both cases.
