London, Sept 27--In two days the
French and British have gained
greater results than in the preceding
twelve months fighting, since the
famous battle of the Marne. with up
wards of twenty thousand Gerran
prisoners in their hands and some
thing like thirty guns, without count
ing the machine guns, and with a
formidable breach in the German
line.
The Allies apparently have the long
expected offensive movement well
under way The advance has been
general and its effect is emphasized
by the fact that on the eastern front
a most substantial gain for the Rus
SLAMS is recorded.
Petrograd states that the army I'M
der General lvanoff has won a strik-
ing victory over the Germans and
Austrians in the southeastern thea

were taken

SCHOOLS OF CITY
SHOWS HEAL THY
GROWTH IN YEAR
PROF. SCOTT HAS SITUATION
WELL IN HAND FOR EN-
SUING SEMESTER

The beginning of the second week OF
the present school term shows a heal
thy increase in enrolment over that
of 1914 The average enrolment dur
ing last year was l,755. This year the
term starts with 1881, or an increase
of 1876. The high school also shows
an increase Of 43 over the average for
1914. Professor Tom Scott who heads
the schools this year, is much graft
fled over the splendid showing. He is
working hard to make a record and
has the cooperation of both the
teachers and the pupils. He seems to
understand his business and knows
how to put system at work, which is
something the schools has needed for
some time.
Following is a report of the enroll
ment by schools at the end of the
first week:

The United States geological sur

the Loco gas field in Oklahoma, by
Carroll H. Wagemann, which was
prepared under cooperative agree

surveys, according to which each or
ganization furnished part of the
funds necessary for the work. The
Loco field is on the line between
Stephens and jefferson counties,
three miles southwest of the village
Of Loco and 10 miles northwest OF
the Healdton oil field. For many
years asphalt deposits have been
known to exist in this vicinity, but
deep drilling for oil and gas was
not begun until 1912 The first gas
well was struck in the spring Of
1913, about six months before the
Healdton pool was discovered. Six
other gas wells, of capacities ranging
from e,OOO.OOo to 2O,0OO,OO0 cubic

was the fact that the blue ribbon
was on southeast Missouri corn, the

won by southeast Missouri in fact
the first that ever went south of the
Missouri river. We certainly hope
that next year BoIlinger county will
be here with a large delegation to
carry off some of the prizes.
The baby show was held in the
gymnasium in connection with a
program given by the children of

This was not a contest of beauty,
but of health The babies were all
examined thoroughly by physicians
and nurses, measurements, weights
etc, taken. Seven-months-old Mel

the Grand Championship of the state.
Three other prizes were given to
babies of different ages. The princi-

these babies have received are that
none are bottle babies and that all
but one have always slept alone with
the windows of the room open.

bad food in general is really caused
in some such way. as this, meat itself
is perfectly wholesome, acting mere
ly as a mechanical carrier for the
germs which cause the trouble.
Germs which grow in food and cause
illness grow very rapidly, partic-
ularly if the food is little warm, and
are not destroyed unless the food is

warming up" is not sufficient, as was
found in a case of illness recently
reported.
Certain kinds of food-creamed
chicken, custard or warm vegetables,
for example-are excellent culture
mediums for bacteria which may have
been introduced into them by acci-
dent. For this reason as short time
as possible should intervene between
the preparation of food and its con-

WATCH THE ICEBOX IN SUMNER
Must Be Scalded Thoroughly to Kill
Fungus Growth.

| By United Press.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-To aid
the housewife in keeping meat un-
tainted in hot weather, the Agricul-
tural Department suggests two
| things, ice and cleanliness.
For many families a refrigerator is
obviously out of the question, but it
is perhaps better to have no refriger-
ator than a neglected one. Merely to
wash it out occasionally does little
good; it should be thoroughly scaid-
ed once in awhile, in particular the
drain. This, if overlooked, is apt to
harbor fungus growths which may
spread to the food. On one occasion
a man applied to the department for an
explanation of the bright red color ac-
quired by meat in his refrigerator.
Examination revealed fungus
growth due entirely to the condition
of the refrigerator Growths of this
kind do not always advertise them
selves so prominently and there may
be much evil in an ice box that the
eye cannot detect.
If the refrigerator drain is not thor
oughly cleaned, it is likely to become
choked, the water is not carried off
quickly enough ard little pools are
left standing in re interior Damp
ness is one of the most favorable
conditions for bacterial growth. An
, icebOx in this state will not protect
caution to wipe the interior of the
refrigerator every day with a dry
cloth.
The temperature of the average re-
frigerator is higher than most per-
sons suppose and in those households
where regular supply of ice is not
obtainable cool cellar. a spring
house or the depths of a we'll may
serve somewhat the same purpose On
farms where there is an ice house
the meat may be placed in some form
of closed retainer and buried ip the
ice. In any event the meat must be
carefully screened from flies.
The danger from infection from
these pests has been pointed out many
times, but familiarity breeds contempt
and they still persist. The fly not
only does the meat itself no good, but
it may readily deposit upon it some
infection, which is carried in turn by
the meat into the human system.
Much sickness that is popularity as
cribed to ptomaine poisoning or to
