The Fitchburg News says that the an
cient swindle of doping horses Just before
selling them has nothing on the Boston
method Of selling second hand automo-
biles One purchaser took second hand
car that looked very pretty, it's defects
being temporarily hidden by means of
putty and varnish Before the new owner
had driven the car 20 miles the rear axle
broke and the repairs cost 800. A new
car costing between 1920 and 81 800
was purchased from an apparently re-
liable agent in Boston by Fitchburg
man When he came to weigh it he
found the agent had lied to the extent of
800 pounds. A third case was that of a
used car guaranteed to do 40 miles an
hour On the trip north it averaged Is
and broke down twice in the attempt
The guarantee" was not in writing
The News says that the moral is to deal
with the business men of your own town
if you wish to come within hailing dis
lance of decent and honorable treatment.

The London Daily News finds something
amusing in the suggestion of DR.. Dern-
burg that when he leaves America he
should receive safe conduct from the
allies for his journey back to Germany.
He and other German propagandists, the
News observes, have been proclaiming
that the British fleet has been driven to
cover in harbor, and that British com
mand of the sea is as dead as the dodo, but
now he confesses he cannot cross the seas
without a British safe conduct. The
News forgets that the orator and the adj
vocates often take the liberty of making
the facts conform to their theories.

Americas Supply of Fish.
(Northampton Gazette. J


The government has published statistics
of the fishing industry which show that
our annual consumption is over 20 pounds
per head, which must make the consump-
ton by adults much higher, as the young
children who are enumerated in our pop
ulation would eat much less than the
average. We asked a group of men for
their estimate of the average fish con
sumption, and after each had thought
over their own fish eating, the guesses
were from two to three pounds per cap
tia. But fish eating increases with the
age of country. The pastures decrease
in area as the land is settled and man
has to turn from the land to the sea
This country has the greatest fish produc-
ing waters of the world No country has
such a number and SO large inland lakes
The rivers are full of fish on both oceans
Florida alone has as many lakes as many
of the great countries of Europe. New
England, Wisconsin, Michigan and Min
nesota have vast lake areas The Gulf Of
Mexico is full of fish, and Alaska could
supply the whole country with fish, with
proper refrigerating facilities. We shall
eat more and more fish, as the country is
more fully settled

FOREST FIRE PREVENTION.
Additional Towers in Vermont and
Massachusetts,.

Massachusetts.
Vermont and Massachusetts are to
be congratulated upon the extension
they will make this season in the field
of forest fire prevention. Both states
are at work upon progressive programs
of demonstration, but the planting Of
new forests must count for little if the
destruction of existing forests keeps
pace with these efforts. Fire observa-
ton stations in this state are already
SO numerous and the system of fire de-
lection and cooperation between local
and state authorities so nearly perfect
that the only improvements possible,
apparently, are in the direction of in
creased facilities for fire discovery
Three more fire observation towers are
about to be established in the west
ern countries of Massachusetts, which
viii give increased protection to the
forests from the Connecticut hne to
Vermont and clear across to the New
York border.
In Vermont through the generosity
of the Proctor family, new stone OBJ
servation tower, with modern equip
ment, is to be erected on Pico noun
tain. The woods in Vermont are said
to be drier this season than they have
been for many years, requiring greater
vigilance than usual on the part of the
fire patrols which are now about to be
started out. States that are spending
as much intelligent work and money on
the development of their forests as are
Massachusetts and Vermont, cannot af-
ford to lag behind in the matter of
fire prevention.-Bo Herald

Christian association in enforcing the rule
prohibiting women more than 80 years
old and earning more than SIS week
from living at the associations homes? If
SO, about half of those who are now living
at the homes will have double reason to
feel depressed. The decision of the Bos-
ton association would seem to call for
some helpful institutions for women who
are beyond the 80 mark, but who are still
active and who have no desire to be en-
rolled in old ladies' homes

in this way saving the daily task for
each. The mothers could do with
pleasure once a week what was such
a bugbear in it's frequency. The moth
er knows that her child's mentality
as well as his physical power depends
upon his food largely and the grow
ing child should have nourishing,
plain, wholesome and easily digested
food.
The child naturally Graves sweets
and they should be given in moderate
amount, as they are necessary to fur
nish fuel. Sweets should be given
at the close of the meal so that they
may not clog the taste for the substan-
tial things as they do if given before
or at the beginning of a meal.
Another important point to remem-
Der with children is that their diges-
tive processes are much more rapid
than with adults, and they need a
good, substantial lunch.
Eggs cooked hard and well seasoned
make a most satisfactory sandwich
filling. Thin slices Of meat between
Widespread slices of bread. The sand
witch is an important factor, and should
have first place. Bottles now may be
bought at a small price which viii
hold hot drink or soup, cocoa and
milk being the drinks best for the
child. A handful of nuts and raisins
or a few figs or dates will add to the
enjoyment of a lunch as we'll as to its
nutritive value.
Fresh fruit, an apple or an orange,
a cake of sweet chocolate or a few
pieces of good candy make q we'll
enjoyed finish to meal. The child
loves surprise, will eat with relish
and digest meal much better if it
is something that comes as a surprise.
Cup custards are most delicious des-
serts, rice with custard and raisins
make another simple and tasty one.

from Austria, as she could never have
done under circumstances different
from those existing now.

WAR DRIVES FOREIGN
ARTISTS TO DISPLAY
WORK AT EXPOSITION

Contrary to the opinion held by
many artists Of the country that the
European war would prevent the send
ing or many OF the masterpieces of the
european artists to the San Francisco
exposition, 1t has developed that the
war has induced foreign artists to take
greater effort in exporting pictures
from the war stricken countries where
the art galleries are exposed to the
ravages of war. This is the opinion of
Mrs. NJ. F. Johnston, Of this city, who
is now at San Francisco acting as Sc
NOR Decent in the Fine Arts Building
at the exposition.
Letters received by friends of Mrs.
Johnston tell Of the wonderful display
OF pictures by the foreign artists.
Many of these found difficulty in
transportation to this country. The To-
cal art critic gives daily lectures In the
Fine Arts building and for the past
few weeks, under the auspices of the
Art Department has been delivering
lectures in cities near San Francisco
The exhibition which she is connected
with Is perhaps the greatest exhibition
ever held in this country.
"The attendance at the exposition is
increasing daily" writes Mrs. John
ston. THE gate receipts now show
that more than 5000, 900 people have
visited the exposition"
She also writes that unusual inter.
est is being shown in the display in
the Fine Arts building. 1t is probable
that she will remain at the Exposition
until December.

BECK ANTICIPATES
RE-ROUTINC ORDERS

Postmaster Beck is almost certain
that an order will be received from
the postoffice officials at Washington
demanding an entire reorganization of
the rural routes throughout the coun-
try within the near future. This has
been ordered in one OF the counties in
this state now. Tippecanoe county,
with Lafayette as the county seat, has
been ordered to install a system of au-
tomobile deliveries and the re-route of
the county.
Just how soon this order will reach
Wayne county is not known by the
postmaster but 1t Is certain to come
because of the fact that the efficiency
campaign being waged by the post
office department at Washington de-
mands that the Is per cent loss sus-
tanned in the operation of the rural
routes be decreased. From expert
ments held it appears that this can
only be done by using automobiles SO
that more country can be covered in
the same amount of time.

JABS FROM DAGGER
MAY LEAD TO DEATH
OF C0LORED WOMAN

Mrs. Maggie Ralston, colored, wife
of Horace Ralston, from whom she
has been separated about a year, is dy.
ing today at Reid hospital from dag
ger wounds inflicted by Willie
Smith, colored, who is said to be in
fatuated with the woman. Smith fled
after he had attacked the woman and
has not yet been apprehended.
Relatives Of Mrs. Ralston say that
she has been trying to keep away from
Smith but that he persisted In forcing
his attentions upon her. Last evening
he called at her home after she had
left. Then he prowled the streets in
search of her. Smith finally met Mrs.
Ralston and they walked down South
Fifth street In her statement to the
prosecutor at the hospital the woman
said that when they reached the cor
ner OF South Fifth and G streets, she
told him she did not want him to both
er her any more. She said Smith I'M
mediately attacked her, stabbing her
twice. He then fled. The woman
walked half a block and then col.
lapsed and was hurried to the hospital
in the police machine.
The attending physician says the
wounds were evidently inflicted with
a dagger The blade penetrated the
left lung above the heart. The blade
entered the right lung from the back
near the shoulder blade. There is al
most no chance for her recovery. Mrs
.Ralston has a police record, having
been twice arrested for assault and
battery.

day when the same experiment was
made on other routes, Postmaster
Beck with one carrier delivered mail
over 53.7 miles Of road yesterday
to 400 families in hours and 40 min
utes. The delivery was made in an
automobile and is the second test that
has been made by the postmaster to
be used as a basis in determining the
practicability of reducing the number
of rural routes by combining two of
them with the aid Of an automobile
A report on tn experiments will be
made to the postoffice officials at
Washington who are anxious to cut
down the running expenses of the ru-
raj routes. Out of Richmond alone. the
rural routes entail loss of $1,000 a

WARNED LOCAL MAN

The unseaworthiness of the steamer
Eastland, which capsized Saturday In
the Chicago river and caused disas-
ter, which Is now the subject of search
ing inquiry by the Cook county cor
oner, was known two years ago, &C
cording to Omar Hodge, architect. OF
Richmond.
Hodge, while visiting at Cedar Point,
O., In 1913, was told by an insurance
adjustor that insurance companies had
condemned the steamer, that it was
known to be top-heavy and that 1t was
likely at any moment to turn over.
The Eastland. while they we're in con-
versation, was coming down the har-
Dor, preparing to dock after an excur.
sion trip to Cleveland.
The steamer during the summer OF
1913 was plying between the two
places as an excursion boat, and car
ried passengers, who numbered more
than the insurance adjustor declared
his companies deemed advisable.
Mr. Hodge did not take passage on
the Eastland during his visit at the
summer resort.
