Papers Censored

'The official Russian press bureau, In
denying the accusations, refers to the
singular report of a Russian-Jewish
newspaper. in which it was said that q
prominent jew, when visiting the Rus
sian battle line did not see anything that
could be characterized as i'll will against
the Jews. But the press bureau omits
tc mention that all Jewish newspapers
III Russia are subject to the most severe
censorship and thus have no opportunity
of publishing truthful reports.
Russian censorship makes 1t impossi,
bic for the Jewish press to place on
record pogroms and prosecutions of Jews
in Russia. But on the other side, il
must be recognized that the general
American press and even many French
and English papers are very well in
formed of what is going on in Russian
Poland and Galicia, and to what an ex-
tent The Jews suffer there from Russian
cruelty and barbarity."

odds that facts that have been published

Polish and Russian-Jewish newspapers,

Refugees Expelled
As instances, the statement cites the
following:

pelled by the police. and compelled to re-
turn to their war stricken places.
Jewish wounded soldiers who We're

In ordering their expulsion, tens of
thousands of Jews had been completely

Although Great Britain's notes
were made public only last night and
the state department received them
only Monday the American govern.

informal conferences between Ameri-
can and British officials and in Lon.
don and had framed its reply before
the notes actually were received. It
is believed there will be little change
in the answer already prepared when
it goes to London.
Admitting that unusual conditions
which Great Tritain contends are

the legality of taking ships ':oin tie

from ships on the high seas and
ships which go to British ports oil
which attempt to run blockade lines.
The British argument that American
commerce had not suffered also will
be contested.
In all quarters it seems to BIZ

noon in st. Paul's cathedral. The

ICE AS A SUNNI Err
NECESSITY

Many of the older people can re-
member the times when ice was con
sidered luxury. People would
keep foods cool by hanging them
down wells, or putting them in cans
or covered pals partly immersed in
water, and placed in cool cellars.
With care the old fashioned families
thus kept supplies quite well.
Perhaps one reason was that the
old timers had food that was in bet.
ter cond ton for keeping. With the
milk and butter from near by farms,
the food was in the best possible
shape when II reached the home.
Nowadays such supplies are carried
great many miles, and they need
careful refrigeration from the mo.
ment they reach the home. The fam
lily that does not have ice is apt to
lose a good deal of food, or else to
have to use 1t after II has begun to
deteriorate.
The average American family uses
ice in an unhealthful manner. I'm
limited drinking of ice water is a
purely American trait that has new
er been common in other countries.
In other lands motives of economy
! check its use, which saves the stom-
ach as well as the purse. A certain
cooling Of water is very healthful.
But 1t can be accompl shed much bet
ter by keeping it in lars in an ice
box rather than by breaking cakes
of Ice to place in the water.
The free distribution of fee to
poor people has proved useful char
ity in many places. No doubt It has
saved the lives of many infants who
otherwise would have had to drink
tainted milk. The way the children
! of hot and crowded cities flock
around the ice carts Is a revelation
of what the poor must suffer In hot
weather.
Prices of ice seem to increase in
most places. This has hit hard at
the comfort of many people. Now
that It is regarded as a necessity rs
consumption has greatly increased
Its value is mostly in labor, which
costs high at present. Apparently ice
is destined to remain at a high cost
Kind hearted people can find many
cases where real suffering Is caused
by the lack of IL.

CARE FOR THE HORSES FEET

Aside from feeding, probably the
most important cons Iteration in de-
veloping growing horses is the care
Of the feet. Many of the poor feet
seen in horses are the result Of neg
lect of the feet while these horses
were young. The toes should not
be allowed to grow abnormally long
and i'll shaped, as serious trouble
may result from cracking or break
ing of the hoof. Neither should the
heels be allowed to become high,
narrow, or rolled. II these i'll shapes
are not corrected, the feet and to
some extent the legs, respond to
these influences, and the horse ma
lures with poorly shaped feet and
often poorly set legs. Beware of
thrush and kindred troubles. II the
stables are kept clean and sanitary
there Will be very little trouble from
this source. Careful attention to the
details will help greatly in develop.

National Forests Take
in $2,500,000.0 %
Timber Sale, Grazing, and Other Re.
ceipts for Fiscal Year Show Gain
Of More Than Forty Thousand
Dollars

Washington, Aug. 5.-The Nation
al Forests turned into the U. S.
Treasury during the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1915, nearly s2,500,0OO, an
increase of more than $4,000 over
the receipts of the previous year &C
cording to statement just issued
by the Forest Service. The timber
sales, which amounted to $1,164,OOO,
yielded on account Of the depressed
condition of the lumber industry
about $4,000 less than those Of the
previous fiscal year, but the gain
was made possible by larger revenues
from other sources. The grazing re-
ceipts, which totaled $1,125,000, in.
creased $4,000 over last year and
the water power receipts, VIII oh
amounted to not quite 100000 show
ed an increase Of nearly $4,000.

mits, under which all sorts Of enter
| prises, from ap 'aries to whaling sta
tions, are operated on the Forests
yielded nearly $4,000, an increase o.
$4,000 over last year. There was 9
decrease of nearly $4,000 in tn,
revenue derived by the settlement o
trspass cases in which government
timber had been cut without inten
to defraud, the revenue from thi
source being only a little more thar
$4,000. More than $1,000, however
was collected from other timber tres
pass cases. Grazing trespass case
yielded nearly $4,000, an increase @
about $1,000; occupancy trespass cas-
es. which occurred in only one of tn
seven forest districts turned in som'
thing less than $3.50; about $50 wa
