COAL RECEIPT
 HELPS ASSTALAF

Paul Asstalaf. 163 Columbia street though but short time domiciled in this country, is possessed of realiza- tion of the importance of saving re- ceipts. That wisdom helped very materially to exonerate him from the responsibility of series of coal thefts when he and Louis Harva of the same address were arraigned in the city court today for thefts from the Ad- miral street yard of the A. McNeil & Sons Go.
 The two were suspected of having engineered series of thefts that re- suited in the loss of about 80 tons o1 coal from the yard. They were caught in the act of stealing, Tuesday morning. Today Asstalaf produced q receipt from the Vincent Bros, show. ing that he had purchased coal only a few days ago, and he claims he had no occasion to buy the anthracite if he were guilty of the many thefts.
 The court held him responsible fol only one theft, that of Tuesday, and fined him $5 and costs. The same disposition resulted in Harva's case.

NO MORE CHICKEN

Washington, Oct. ls.-The elimina-
ton Of chicken from the army menu,
the elimination Of turkey to Thanks
giving and Christmas, and the abolish
ment of the field rations, sums up the
important changes in the army ration
for the American. soldier made during
the last year, according to the report
of Commissary General Henry G.
Sharpe.
The elimination Of chicken has re-
suited in a yearly saving to the gov
eminent of $4,000.
1t costs the United States 1914 cents
day more to feed the American sol
der in Aleska, than it did those sta
toned in the United States.
The daily average cost of the ra-
tions issued during the year in the
United States alone was 22.75 cents,
while in Alaska it amounted to $3.50
cents.
The report shows the average cost
per year per man in the United States
to be $l05.96 and the Philippines,
$114.21; or an average cost per diem
in the former Of 1908 cents and in the
latter of 31.29 cents.
The experimental farm conducted
by the subsistence department at
Camp Wears, P. T., for the purpose of
determining whether potatoes cou1d
be successfully raised in the Philip
pines, has proven the unfeasibility Of
such a project.

"It is really remarkable thing
what a difference in the atmosphere Of

clerk in charge Of one Of these shifts

the other is surly, conceited coxcomb.
When A is on duty everybody is smil-

around with an air Of good natured al
