Cheapest Light
and Fuel

The u. S. Bureau of Stand
ards announces, in an official
bulletin, that the mantle gas
light is the cheapest of all
house lights.
The Bureaus tests show
that the antiquated fiat flame
burner uses up fUe times as
much gas as the mantle
burner to produce the same
amount of light.
The tests also show, that
for the same amount of light,
fiat flame lighting costs about
four times as much as man
tie lighting, including cost of
mantles.
Since candle power" is use
less in mantle lighting, isn't
itperfectly plain that the most
economical household would
save money with ''heat unit"
gas and n,antles for all light
ing?
And since ''heat unit" gas
would be more economical
than candle power" gas for
cooking and all heating pur-
poses, what reason remains
for retaining candle power"
gas in Chicago.
Talk to your Alderman
about this.

WAR MAINS MANY.

BERLIN,-It is beginning % be real ized in Germany that the war is go- ing to leave the belligerent nations with a great number of maimed and crippled men, and German inventors and organizers are already at work providing for the special needs of this class. The Christmas catalogue of a Berlin jewelry firm, for example, con tains a distinct section for one-armed men. There are several kinds of so- called fork-knives, csntrived in very ingenious and handy manner. One consists of an ordinary table knife with the cutting edge as usual on one side, but having fork prongs project ing from the extremity of the blunt side Another is an ordinary fork with the inner prong widened and sharp ened. A "meat-mincer" consists of two sharp pronged forks arranged princer like or like chop sticks. An other offering is a little rack which enables a one-armed card-player to hold, arrange, and shuttle his cards.

TINPLATE INDUSTRY PRosPeRs

LONDON, Dec 31.-The Wales tin plate industry was never so prosper ous as now. Large orders have come from France, where the plate is used in making bombs for trench warfare, and the demand for tin in England is above normal, as cans have taken the place of jars and bottles to large ex- tent in the drug and grocery trades.
 An entirely new line of wark has also been built up in the manufacture of tin boxes. a branch of the indus try that had been captured by Ger many prior to the war. Germany bought Welsh plate and returned the manufactured boxes to England, duty free, as well as to the British colo nies. England has now built up plants for tin boxes and can making and intends to keep up the present work in the days of peace Some diff culty is encountered now in supply ing tn enormous demand against the handicaps of high priced steel and the scarcity of acid. on which the govern ment intuition works naturally have first demand.

 In conclusion Count Tisza said that the government was giving full heed to the various economical problems of the war, but was meeting many obstacles inherent to the minute re gulation which seemed advisable. How to regulate the consumption oi meat was a question of overwhelming proportions, but one, nevertheless, which the government hoped to solve soon. The Hungarian government was not alone abliged to look after the needs of it's own population, but the imports in meat and cereals which had to be made into Austria had also to be kept in mind constantly; he said. He advised that everybody be patient and economical, because these virtues were needed to defeat the de sign of the enemy to starve Austria Hungary and their allies into sub mission.

 Cotton is used almost exclusively by the coolie class in North China, for clothing. With the approach of cold weather the coolies who have been naked to the waist during the summer, gradually pile on heavy cot ton garments padded with quilted cot ton. Woolen cloth is beyond the Coo lies purse. As the severe winter ap- proaches the Chinese of the poorer class become rounder and rounder in appearance. Many of the children are so thickly waded with cotton that the lines of their little bodies are en- tirely obscure.

ALMONDS PROFITABLE
 CROP IN CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO. Jan. 1.-California enjoys the distinction of being the on-
 ly portion of the United States that can grow almonds on an extensive commercial scale Four fifths of the
 almonds, consumed in this country are imported.
 Approximately 5OOOOO almond trees were planted on the rolling land of the Thermal belt of the Sacramento Val ley last season. The almond has been termed the "city mans orchard tree"
 the inference being that the absentee
 owner has a better chance of success
 with almonds than with any other or
 chard product
 Up to date this year approximately S6OO cars of oranges have been ship ped from the Sacramento valley Northern California oranges have rip
 ened much earlier this season than 4 last Sacramento Valley growers have lreceived record prices this year get l ting as high as S2.SO net per box for their organges, after all expenses of shipping and packing have been paid.
 To growers having yield, of 300 box les 10 the acre this means return of
 $500 per acre. which places oranges
 among the most profitable of tree fruits. The Southern California or
 ange crop is now ripening and the
 fruit shipments are being made.-Sac- Aramento Union

AMERICAN MACHINES
 FOR CHINESE MILLS
Massachusetts Concern Gets $900,000 Contracts for
 Machinery.

TIEN-TSIN, China, Dec. 31.-(Cor- respondence of The Associated Press) Contracts have been signed with a worth of machinery for the establish ment of two modern cotton spinning mills here. T1ie mills are to have 25,0O0 spindles, and are to be capable of expansion to double that number after sufficient labor has been train ed. The Chinese minister of agricuE ture and commerce is a share holder in one of the companies and the min ister of finance is interested in the other
 This is the first time that American cotton manufacturing machinery has been sold in China in large quantities. Heretofore the Chinese manufacture CTS have looked to Europe, and ire quently have bought second hand ma chinery from Japan. It was through the effort of Julean H.

 China imports annually about S2S,- 0e0,000 worth of cotton yarn, chiefly from India and Japan There are probably about 100000 spindles in China operated in twenty-five mills, but the cotton consuming power of the Chinese would probably justify 20 times as many spindles The depart ment of commerce and agriculture has recently invited J N. Jobson of the Texas Agricultural Experimental Station to come to China to show the natives how to grow better cotton, and it is expected that this expert will be here in January.
 Most of the cotton now raised in China is from inferior seeds. In some sections of the Yang-tse valley Amer ican missionaries have imported high

BETHUNE IS FAVORITE
 TOWN OF THE TOMMIE
When English Soldier Has a Day or Two Leave He Goes to City on the La Basse Ca nal.

BOULOGNE. France,-The most pop ular town in France. so far as the O. pinon of the British soldier goes. is Bethune. Located not far behind the lines. it has become the great pleasure resort for the officers and soldiers who can get only day or so of leave.
 Bethune escaped the horrors of act ual warfare in the early days of the fighting across France, although a small body of German troops actually entered the town on one occasion. In the months that followed, the sound of the guns was frequently heard, and occasionally shells fell within the mu- nicipal limits, but never with serious results.
 The town centers around a hill and square, from which radiate a few narrow streets and boulevards. At the foot of the hill runs the now famous La Passee canal. Around the square there are bright shops. cheerful cafes. picturesque restaurants, and amiable rustic population-all of which will be remembered with tender feelings by thousands of British soldiers who have spent days of comparative ease and luxury there.
 The needs of the soldier are few and his pleasures simple. Bethune sup plies all he wants. It has good lodg- ing places. capable barbers, and warm baths for which the man from the trenches especially longs. There is fair theatre, and band-stand in the square where frequently regiInental band is allowed to give an afternoon concert. There is an excellent foot ball field. and provision also for crick- ct. polo and other sports.
 Bethune is a great meeting place Of friends and acquaintances, and it is the shopping place for 8 long stretch of British line. For long time there was an officers club in the old Hotel de France. but this has been closed and now the Cafe de Globe takes it's place. making a speciality of cham paigne cocktail whose fame will onel day be known through the whole Brit ish army. The Cafe is "open" solely to officers of the Allied armies.

 Since the outbreak of the war the demand for Korean tungsten has shown remarkable insrease. As the mineral is not found in abundance its price has scared rapidly and it is now quoted about three times what it was before the war, namely. about $1.- 800 per ton.
