BRITISH WOMEN BUSY

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, October 19-The women
suffragists are doing fine work in re-
lieving distress caused by the war.
The -for-women propaganda
has been abandoned completely for the
present and many of the organizations
are placing all Of their resources at the
service of needy women. In London
alone there are some $4,000 women
who were earning their own living be-
fore the war but who have since be-
come destitute, many facing starvation.
The Active Service League of the
National Union of Women's Suffrage
Societies, which includes in its ranks
ever coo societies which have been
working for suffrage by constitutional
means, has an organized relief bureau
in its offices in a shop on Parliament
street, and the branch offices through
out the country are also filed with
suffragists working for their country.
The workers distinguish themselves by
wearing a uniform consisting of a dark
green coat and skirt, green felt hats,
with badges and ties of red and green
the Unions colors.
The assistance of German women
and girls stranded in London is in
cluded in the relief program.
The Union has had many offers of
hospitality for stranded people and
many private school mistresses have
offered free education for daughters of
officers killed in action. Several work
rooms have been started where out-of-
work women are paid 10 shillings a

PARIS, Oct. 19.-History has just
repeated itself at Peronne for the fifth
or sixth time, with the occupation of
the town by Emperor Williams forces.
1t is a pretty, peaceful, sleepy town il
the valley of the Disc, with no more
apparent protection than that of az
tending to its own little business, and
it is all the more wonder that it has
cut such figure in history that it has
succumted to nearly every attack.
There can scarcely be any other rea-
son than that its situation makes it a
sort of stumbling block in the way OF
forces bound for Amiens from the
north.
King Charles the Simple first gave
Peronne right to immortality by dying
of hunger while prisoner there in
92s.
Charles the Bold began its series of
captures by taking it in 1865 and add
ed to its renown by imprisoning Louis
XI. there two days. The latter reve1ged
himself on both Charles the Bold an
the town by capturing it in 1877. The
Duke of Nassau is the only one who
ever failed in an assault upon it; he
was beaten by woman, Catherine of
Polk, who rightfully has her statue in
the public square. The Duke of We'll
lington captured it in his turn in 1917.
and the Germans starved the little
garrison out in the closing days OF
the war of 1870, but were obliged 10

SIaughtering and Curing Pork

Many Georgia farmers produce
more meat and lard than is neces-
sary for home consumption, but do
not handle the product in a way to
get the best market prices.
In producing high grade meat care
in the feeding and selection of ami
mails is necessary. Hogs grown on
pasture and fed peanuts or forest
mast, produce pork too oily to get
proper firming Of meat and lard. Such
hogs, if fed on corn, sweet potatoes
or wheat shorts from two to four
weeks before slaughtering, will pro
duce much better meat and lard.
The most desirable meat is pro-
duced from hogs weighing from IT'S
to $50 pounds live weight. Animals
to be butchered should be kept off
feed twenty-four hours before slaugh-
tering but should have plenty of wa
ter When thus handled they will
bleed out more freely and the meat
will have better curing qualities.
The best method for slaughtering
a hog is to suspend it by the hind
legs by means of block and tackle, or
similar arrangement and bleed from
the neck, without shooting and stun
ming the animal. When slaughtered
in this way the heart remains active
and drives the blood out OF the
body.
The proper temperature for scald-
ing is IFS degrees fahrenheit. Too
hot water will set the hair, making
scraping difficult. A small quantity
of wood ashes added to the water
makes scalding and cleaning easier.
The leaf fats should be removed at
the time of dressing the carcass.
Meats should be thoroughly cooled
before placing in cure. If weather
is too warm for proper cooling, ice
should be broken into pieces of about

YOUNG LADY HAD
EXPLICIT FAITH in
Her UNCLE Sam

LONDON, October 19.-Major D. W.
Ketcham, one of the American army
officers sent over to London to admin
lister the fund appropriated by con-
gress as loan to stranded turists, re-
lates this experience, illustrating the
faith of a certain class of Americans
in the generosity of Unce Sam.
One day a young woman called at
the Majors office and said that she
wanted the $500 due her.
Thinking that she was one of those
for whom money had been deposited by
friends with the state department, the
officer asked for proof. He got it. The
tourist produced letter written to
her by her father. In this letter the
father said that Congress had appro-
priated 100000 for the Americans in
England, and dividing it by the num-
Der estimated to be there, he thought
her pro rata should be $500, advising
her to insist upon her rights.
The applicant admitted having
sufficient funds, but said she consider
ed the money form of compensation
for the nervous strain of being caught
in Europe in war time. She left Major
Ketcham's office with the air of one
who had been deprived of her dues.

Loot Town in Punishment.
The following morning, declaring
that the acquisitions were not being
filled with the necessary promptitude,
the governor inflicted a further pun
ishment on the town in the form of 2
permission to the troops of two hours
pillage of houses whose inhabitants
were out. They were told to COM
mence with the subprefecture to pun
ish the subprefect for having gone
away with all the ready money. Ev-
erything movable was taken, even to
the bedding, carted to the station and
taken away by train the same evening.
After the furniture had been remov-
ed the soldiers descended to the cellars
and then started an orgie that ended
in the burning of dozen of the more
important buildings in the center Of
the town.
The citizens committee protested
strongly against these depredations
and convinced the governor that it
was not the most likely means of Sc
curing the willing cooperation Of
those who were able to contribute to
the supplying of the troops. From that
time to the flight of the Germans be-
fore the advancing French the town
was quiet, but the inhabitants say
they would prefer that Peronne enjoy
