WOOD That Can Be EATEN
1HE scarcity Of food and animal

THE scarcity Of food and animal
fodder which the war has
i caused has compelled the Ger
mans to look about for substitutes.
among which wood naturally pre-
sents itself. The idea OF using wood
as food Is not new. In famine and
sleges the supply Of flour has often
been eked out by the addition Of
ground bark and .sawdust.

CITY'S INDUSTRIES TO

A representative number of the
city's business men were invited on
Wednesday afternoon to the Princess
theater by George Senger and John
@. Berscheit, proprietors of the local
play houses, to see a film which was
of more than unusual interest. The
moving pictures were Of an industrial
character, and represented the fac
tories and business houses of Racine,
Wis. in full operation. The Wiscon-
sin city took this means of boosting
itself throughout the country. and the
results which accrued are said TO have
been really wonderful. Every indus
try was depicted on the canvas, and
the various stages of manufacture,
was shown in all the large establish
ments for which Racine is noted. For
"a manufacturing city such as is Ra-
cine this method OF advertising cannot
fail TO be effective, and IL is the in
tentiOn OF the local theater men to
produce similar films which are to be
obtained among the manufacturing
concerns in Mishawaka, and the bust
ness houses generally This idea Will
no doubt be. received with enthusiasm
throughout the city especially now
that a live boosting campaign has
been started.

Department in Record Run.

The city fire department was called
TO the Orphans home at 1880 o'clock
Thursday morning on account of a
small fire in the playroom on the see
Ond floor
1t is impossible to determine the
origin of it, and the damage viii prob
ably not exceed $3.50. In the room
was stored blouses and outdoor gar
ments of the children, together with
toys and books. The most probable
explanation Is that some of the chill
dren obtained a rag which was soak
ed in oil and left in their pocket, when
they put the blouses on the shelf,
spontaneous CONFUSION resulting.
Too much praise cannot be given
the teachers for the way in which they
got the children out Of the building.
This praise should also be extended 10
the older children in the school, who,
as soon as had seen the younger ones
taken 10 the school house, returned
and assisted materially in eXtinguish-
ing the fire The call of the city de-
partment was sent in by phone and
the person who did the 'phOning says
she had hardly hung up the receiver
before the department was there, the
run from the city fire house being
made in record time
The children slid down the fire es-
capes 10 get out, the girls on one side
and the boys OF tie other
Three chemical eXtinguishers and
the hose inside the building were used
by the teachers with good effect Ii
is probable that the fire would have
been much more serious had it not
been for the prompt action of the
city fire department.
