ment to place In embargo on all but
the surplus wheat In the country at
present.
Mrs. Heath said that the House
wives league had realized for some
time that increased price of bread was
inevitable and had been sending notice
to its members to make no effort to
combat the rise in price, as the bakers
were not considered responsible, but
to do all in their power to have the
embargo placed on wheat.
1.-THE average housewife would do
well to learn more of the use of corn
meal" Mrs. Heath went on. 1.-THE
price of cornmeal has not gone up to
any appreciate extent as yet, and,
even though 1t did go up, it would re
main a cheap and very nutritious food
and could be made to take the place of
a part at least of the weekly bread
supply needed by a family"
Hugo Fredericks, president of the
Wholesale Bakers association, said
that a great many of the small New

every baker in the city who has to de-
pend on the sale of bread and rolls
alone. Those who make pastries have
been able to patch finances up a bit by
making sharp advances in the price Of
pies, cakes and other delicacies. We
won't be making any profit with the
price at G cents a loaf, even, and will
be lucky If we break even. When the
price does go up, moreover, there will
be little chance of its getting back to
normal for a long while, for If the war
were to stop tomorrow it would be
nearly two years before Europe would
be producing grain on a large scale
egain and the wheat exports of this
country would fall back to normal"

FIVE YEAR old BOY
LIKE HELEN KELLER
Deaf, Mute and Almost Blind,
Displays Wonderful Powers.

st. Louis.-Ernest Smith, FIVE years
old, deaf, dumb and almost blind, was
taken from the City hospital three
years age after his mother deserted
him by the Missouri branch, lnterna-
tional Sunshine society, and is in a
fair way of becoming as remarkable as
Helen Keller, according to medical au-
thorities, specialists and instructors In
the Missouri School For the Blind.
The child, who three years ago was
not expected to live and who was de-
clared to be mentally defective, Is an
excellent proof of what care, the prop
err treatment and skilled attention will
accomplish. At five he displays a
healthy devotion to the sports INDUCED
in by boys of his age the world over
and an alarming interest in the carry
ing out of mischievous pursuits.
Since an operation performed several
months ago, which restored to him in
eye, he has displayed a sense of touch
and perception which have set his
elders wondering and which has deter
mined them to secure for him the best
advantages obtainable to make of him
self other than an ordinary mute.
He recognizes colors readily, is able
to distinguish his Sunday clothes from
those of the every day variety, he is
quick to notice anything new In the
wearing apparel or speech of the WIS.,
ltor in the home In which he is being
cared for, and he makes known his
likes and dislikes in an emphatic man
ner In everything running the gamut
from foodstuffs to persons.
In the opinion of Mrs. #. W. Baum
hoff, for fourteen years president Of
the Missouri Sunshine society and who
resigned that post In order to devote
her time wholly to caring for blind
children under school age, the child's
powers of observation are nothing
short of remarkable.

In a speech before the convention of

United States Cruiser Played German
Air as Ship Sailed Out to Destruction
Berlin.-The strains of the German
national hymn played by the band Oh
an American cruiser anchored in the
port of Honolulu were the last friendly
greetings for the crew of the Ill fated
German cruiser Nurnberg. The urn
berg was destroyed in the battle ON
the Falkland islands on Dec. 8.
Relatives of a sailor on the Nurn-
berg have just received his last letter.
in which he tells how three thunder
ing cheers were the response from US
as the band aboard an American cruis-
err which lay anchored in the port
struck up the tune of our national
HYMN. 1t may be the final adieu Tor
us. IT was a noble, inspiring thing for
those American sailors to do. They
knew that outside the harbor the enc
nv in superior force was waiting TO
send us to the whales for food"
The letter is dated Oct. IL, 1914, ana
was written as the Nurnberg steamed
out to Join Admiral o Specs squad
ron, which was later sent to the DOT
tom by the British squadron. The let
ter. together with other mail, was CIV

vessel which the Nurnberg met JUST

poses dealing with trades unions and

ment of wage n and properly
So" He added: "AIl trades union
movements may profit by the assist
ance of this department of the govern
ment. OF what value would it be to
mediation to apply to the department
of labor to interfere, to use its good
offices in an effort to bring about an
adjustment of a trade dispute, If the
workers themselves are unorganized,
if the workers themselves have no eco
nomic force that they can use?"
The postmasters throughout the
country will distribute the application
blanks to the unemployed, who will
fill them out and return them to the
postmaster to be forwarded to the de-
partment Of labor postage free.
The applications for employment are
designed to cover practically all forms
Of employment. both skilled and un-
skilled, in addition to domestic work
and farm labor. The applicants are
required to answer numerous questions
as to age, height, weight, trade, ma
tionality, qualification for labor other
than trade mentioned, languages spo-
ken, name of two former employers,
reason for loss of last employment and
wages expected.
One difficulty In the present federal
employment bureau plan is the ques-
ton of transportation. On the appli-
cation blanks the unemployed are ask
ed to state what, If any, money they
can afford to pay for their Transports
ton to a job, and the employer also is
asked to state what. if any, money he
VIII advance for transportation to
bring the unemployed to the job he de
sires to fill. 1t is obvious that the
average man out of work cannot be
prepared to pay his own transportation
if the railroad fare amounts TO very
much.
Commissioner of immigration Cant
netti In his last report suggested that
a part of the money received from the
immigration service. of which there Is
now $40, 100000 In the treasury, might
be used for such Il purpose. Should
the question of such a utilization of so
large a fund be brought TO the atten-
ton of congress it is certain it would
be carefully scrutinized before consent
was given.

HORSE LONG A PRISONER.
Owner Has Kept Him Confined In
Stall For Having Run Away.


Muncie. Ind.-The local Humane So
ciety does not know how to proceed in
the case of a farmer near Yorktown
who for eight years has kept a horse
a prisoner in its stall.
The horse when three years old ran
away with the farmer and seriously
injured him. In the eight years the
horse has not had any exercise exec pit
such as he might get in his stall. II is
said the long confinement in the barn
has caused the horse to be extremely
nervous and that he frightens at the
slightest noise. The Humane society's
officers seem to doubt that they could
convict the owner of cruel treatment
of the horse. but may conclude to file
n charge. An effort probably will be
made to induce the owner to sell the
animal in order to avoid being prose
cuted.

Youngster For Work.
Neutrality-suspicious. Bill Mcdonald,
the Texas ranger, presented to Francis
Sayre, the White House baby, a pair
of blue jean gveralls. The overalls
arrived ahead of Colonel Bill and were
a mystery until Colonel Bill strolled
up to the Office building.
"Colonel Bill" asked the reporters,
rare you responsible for the baby's
new blue pants?'
"Yaas," drawled Bill. II sent 'em,
and them breeches is all right for tibet
kid. They may be a lettle too big fer
him now, but he'll grow up to EN-"
Then he explained that Mrs. MELON
aid, the pretty bride whom he recently
brought with him from Texas, was
the maker of the little overalls.
The president wrote a letter to Mike
Donovan, who sent a pair of half ounce
boxing gloves to the baby, thanking
him for the gift, and remarking that
he was sure the baby would use the
mitts "as soon as he was able to strike
out for himself"

RAISES BEES ON BOTTLE.
Man With 500 Colonies Feeds Young
on Sugar and Water.

Chicago.-If you are an apiarist and
your bees do not thrive in the long
winter season try raising them on a
bottle. II. III. Thale of haywood, Mo-,
who has 500 colonies of the little honey
makers, has found this method sue
cessful.
Mr.. Thale resorted to bottle feeding
of baby bees when he discovered that
cold spells materially cut down the
number of bees. He places the bottle
on the ledge of the hive. and through
n little valve a mixture of sugar and
water trickles into a steel trough
which extends into the hive. 1t fur
nishes the bees plenty Of nourishment
and helps along during the breeding
season.
Mr.. Thale last year marketed 1000
pounds Of honey.

New York.-Inquiry among a numper

Their rise in the price Of the ordinary
loaf of white and rye bread was
inevitable. The fact that flour a
risen from $3.50 a barrel to from $3.50
to $3.50 since Aug. l was given as the
cause, and, it was said. the price or
rolls and most of the other bakery
products would also be raised in pro
portion, rolls that formerly sold for
10 cents Il dozen selling for u cents.
Reports received from other large
cities of the country indicated that the
increased cost of bread would be nation
wide, though in a number of cities the
bakers anticipated no rise in the price
of loaves, but expected to meet the
increased cost of flour by reducing the
size and weight of the loaves.
Speculation in grain as the result of
the inflated values created by the de
mand for grain in Europe was given
by many Of the baking people inter
viewed as the reason for the rise in
prices. Mrs. Julian Heath, president
Of the Housewives league, was also or
