Plan TO feed State CANE
Commission Explains Method by Which
Money Will Be Spent When
Properly Appropriated

The State Game Commission, consid-
ering that the money that may be ap-
propriated to its use for feeding game
in winter will come from the hunters
license fund, announces that every dol.
lar appropriated for the purpose will be
spent for the benefit of those who con.
tribute to the fund, and to this end
will supply feed for game as follows:
"Frst-To game birds and animals
on State game preserves, whereon no
one can hunt at any time for any pur-
pose. These preserves are surrounded
by a single wire, fire line and line
of notices. Game comes and goes at
pleasure, and may be taken by sports

the open season for such game.

SICK SAILOR Relates HIS
north Sea EXPERIENCES

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Liverpool, Nov. 24-The hospital
ship China chartered by the British ad,
miralty, put into Liverpool yesterday
with about two hundred sick sailors
collected from various warships in the
North Sea. Some were in rather bad
condition and had to be carried on
stretchers to the waiting ambulances,
but the majority were able to walk.
From one of the convalescents small
idea of their life in the North Sea was
gathered. He said:
"We are getting all night in the
North Sea. 1t is beastly cold out there
but we don't mind. At times life is a
bit monotonous, but we bear it all
nicely.
"Some of our vessels had look
more than once at the German ships
and if they would only come out we
could settle the whole lot quicker with
our big gums. The Germans do mot
touch our big ships, but only the small
er ones. We give chase to their sub
marines when seen and make them
clear off, though mishaps will occur
There are not so many German sub
marines about as people think. We
have plenty of sleep, good food and
hard watching and cruising.
"Sohe of US have had a glimpse OF
Helgoland, but the atmosphere was
misty and the place lies low. Some
of our destroyers looked in to see what
was going on but owing 10 the torpedo
nets they could not 60 far enough to
do damage.'

fully food is stored there is bound to be
some loss of food value; this can be de
termined by weighing tuber in the
fall and again in the spring. The liquid

crates and this causes it to become
lighter and lighter until it withers
away.
In cooking winter vegetables the
cook must try OF restore this moisture
as far as possible. This is done by soak
ing the vegetables after they are
scraped or pared. As the natural
moisture leaves the stored foods their
fiavors become stronger so that they
require blanching or par-boiling before
they are cooked. This improves the
flavor and taste of any vegetable that
has been stored until it has commenced
to grow strong.
The process. then. of cooking winter
vegetables is TO first pare or serape
them and let them lie in cold water for
few hours. Then put them to cook in
cold water that is not salted but has a
bit of cooking soda in it. After five
minutes boiling pour this off. 1t will
have a strong odor and contain the bit
ter principle of vegetable. Add fresh
cold salted water and finish the boiling
as usual. If you know the value OF
steamed cooked vegetables, you will
after the par-boiling or blanching pre-
liminary, proceed to finish the cooking
in a steamer. Steam cooked ve, les
are far superior to those cooke. n a

At the Orpheum

Do your Christmas shopping early
is the watchword of to-day. In fact the
proper way to shop nowadays is to have
it done early enough in the day so that
you can enjoy the rest and comfort
provided at the OrPheum, where bargain
prices in vaudeville attractions are also
the rIle. See the "Pekin Mysteries -
to prove that the hand is quicker than
the eye. See them also to be convinced
that this troupe of six sensational Ori-
entail artists. are the greatest of their
race in the way of wonderful illusion
lists. Dazzling stage pictures follow
each other in rapid succession, trans
forming the stage in flower gardens,
etc., and all of it seems to come APP
parently from nowhere. Gorgeous stage
settings, magnificent costumes, all of
them exceedingly costly and all of them
rare works of art by the natives of the
quaint east. A musical comedy couple,
agile and nifty youth, and winsome
grille are Cameron and Gaylord, who
according to the press notices they have
received in othcr cities, will create a
record for popularity for an act of its
kind at the Orpheum.
Mana, the evclonic, tempestuous and
beautiful daneer, is declared by critics
to have caused audiences all over the
world to yield to her attractiveness aud
talent. She will be assisted by Mons.
Alexis, and the act promises to be one
of the most artistic bits of the week 5
new offering. The duo dances with
mathematical precision and Mana, in
her reckless abandon, exhibits a
strength that could scarcely be credited
to so small and supple a body. Some

erty, either wholly protected or entire{ {
ly open to all legitimate hunters.
Fourth--It private lands are postoA
and no one permitted to hunt thereda
at any time, VIC believe the game there
found should be given every help posi-
sible so that it may increase to the ut.
most and overflow into the surrounding
country to the benefit of sportsmen,
just as it is done on the preserves on
State lands
If the land is open to all hunters,
we will feed the game, but we feel that
not one cent of this money should be
applied to the feeding of game on lands
posted against the ordinary hunter but
open to the owner of such lands or his
friends. Experience teaches us that
many people will try to secure a part
of this fund for personal private profit,
and we will surely be imposed upon
unless you who are interested help us
to protect your interest.
"Later on we will select agents
through which game in your county is
to be fed and we hope you will help to-
place feed where it win make the best
return to you"
