Summary
 OF THE War News

The addition of Bulgaria and Rumania to the ranks of the allies is indicated by a despatch from Bucharest to Paris stating that Bulgaria has obtained terrtz torial grants from Rumania and Is , about to conclude similar nego- tiations with Russia. Under this plan, it is said Rumania will go to war against Austria and Bull garia against Turkey.
 Rumania aspires to the pos session of Pennsylvania, while the Austrian government is reported to have to have refused her. Tur- : key already has made prepara- tions at .Adrianople and elsewhere south of the Bulgarian border for possible invasion.
 The status of military opera tions, in GallipoIi is made still more confused by the latest of ficial report from Petrograd- To the north of Przemysl where inn pda-tant successes for the Austro- German forces are claimed at Berlin and Vienna, it is said the Russians repu1sed their oppon- ents with enormous losses The Russian war office acknowledges that one fort was broken into but declares the attackers were subsequently expelled. Consis- tent successes all along the east ern front are claimed by the Americans and Germans who state specifically that three forts north of Przemysl were captured. The Belgian army is once more in the thick of the battle A statement from the Belgian war ministry indicates that the Ger mans. are assaulting their DOT ton of the front It is said, however, that the Germans are unable to advance and that they suffered from a heavy fire of guns massed by the Belgians.

BELGIAN

Havre, France, June 2.|The fol- lowing omciaI statement was issued last night regarding the operations of the Belgian army: N
 "A fierce artillery duel marked the day of May s1 along the Belgian frontier. The Belgian guns of all calibres massed their fire, blowing up the enerny's trenches and accessory defenses at a number of points.
 'tA11 the roads beyond the German front are commanded by the Belgian fire, making it very difficult for the enemy to bring up fresh supplies. The first line of Belgian troops by a con tinuous fire, prevented German troops from advancing.

How GERMANY SAVES FOOD.

Germany is conserving her food
 supplies by cultivating the good will
 of her people, says The New Repub-
 lie. "The Prussian Minister foI the
 Interior issues books and pamphlets
 addressed to housewives, telling them
 in homely phrase how to save food as they have hitherto saved money.
 The German, so the housewife is told eats two-f1fths more than is necessary. One may want to eat and yet not real Iy be hungry. Germany, she must remember, has not too much of any food except sugar. Potatoes should be cooked in their skins; to cook meat with potatoes and vegetables, though it requires more time and care, is more economical. A mass of such literat ture, a flood of Open Letters to Herman Women of Hints on War Economies of War Cook Books 1 point the same lesson. Women are instructed how to cook most economi- | cally, and school children, especially girls, are taught to save food. Against the excessive eating of cakes Germany
 carries on a campaign like that which
 Great Britain directs against drunk enness. It is a struggle of a united
 nattond rawing upon all it's resources l of patriotism

Selling Auto Washer Brushes.

F. S. Putnam arrived home Fri
day from a trip on the road. Mr..
Putnam has been selling brushes OF
all descriptions for the past year
having the general agency in this
section of the state for the Fuller
Brush Co., of Hartford, Conn. He
has a great novelty in an automobile
brush, used to wash automobiles
The brush is attached to a specia
nozzle, similar to an ordinary hose
nozzle and the stream can be regulat-
ed from a spray to straight hard
stream which flows through the
brush enabling the user to remove
the dirt with the brush while the
flow of water continually carries
away the dirt and prevents any pos
Bibility of scratching the polished
surface. With the large number OF
automobiles in DEBORAH and vicinity
Mr.. Putnam will no doubt sell large
number of the brushes.

l. II. Conigisky returned las
week from Peoria ILL.,, where he was
called by the death of his father, ia.
cob Conigisky, who had been resi-
dent of that city for fifty years. The
following to his memory is taken
from the Peoria Star:
mo carpet knight of commerce
was Jacob Conigisky. He plunged
into the thick of it and achieved 4
place for himself and as boy and
youth and in manhood's prime his
record is clean-a priceless heritage
10 his sons.
Jacob Conigisky was born in Wis
, timtZ, Poland. He was boy of }
when his parents came to the new
world settling first in New York. He
lived there for 5 years, and then,
realizing the greater opportunity OF
she west, came to Peoria. He estab-
iaished himself in business, with a
gratifying measure of deserved sue
cess. Later he assumed heavier bust
ness affairs, establishing knitting
and hosiery mill in the south part
OF the city. Failing health and ad-
vancing years finally caused his re-
tlrement.
Mr.. Conigisky was orthodox in ms
religious beliefs and practices. He
had scanty patience with modern in
novation in morals and manners,
church and commerce. He was d
member of both the Agudas Achim
and the Ashai Emeth congregations
and was prominent in the affairs OF
the great Jewish benevolent frater-
nifty of B'Nai Birth. He was also
member of Peoria Lodge No. 10, A
+. & A. M.
He is survived by his wife and iV'
sons: Isadore, who resides in Iowa
Alfred of Chicago and David, JOSEPH
and BENJAMIN of this city.
