 U. s. Greatest Producer.
 The report points out that the Tinted States still is not only the greatest meat-eating nation but the greatest producer. Approximately twice as much is consumed as in Ger many before the war and the total normal consumption in Russia, Great Britain and France is less than in Germany.
 Thee per capita consumption in this country is also far the greatest except in Australia and New Zealand.
 In the fiscal years 1914 and 191 , the United States imported more fresh, chilled and frozen beef mutton than it exported and imported more beef of all kinds than it exported in 1914.

SCHOLARSHIP FOR
 LOCAL YOUNG MAN College Students Interested in
 Plan to Raise Fund

A scholarship fund for the aid of New Britain young men of limited means is about to be established in this city and during the next ten days Robert l.. Sengle and Gregory Com stock, two local Yale students, and Ralph Farrell of Wesleyan, assisted by a corps of young men from the College Club of the Y. M. c. A. will make a thorough canvass of the city interviewing college alumni and un- derclassmen and obtaining subscrip tions. A similar plan was recently carried out by the Women's College club of this city.
 During the past few years many c1- ties have been giving considerable thought to the question whether it is the city's duty and to it's best interest to encourage the education of it's young people beyond high school. The establishment of colleges in these ci ties, or the appropriation of a fund by the city government available to those who require it's need, have both been suggested.
 Chandler Bennett of Springfield, Mass, who roWed number three on last years famous crew heard of the proposed plan to raise a fund in this city. He heartily endorsed the plan
New Britain herald., 1916-09-13

and in order to give the movement impetus contributed $5 as 9 nucleus to work on. Valentine Chamberlain and Edgar Glass, one of Yale's famous gr.diron heroes, have given their sup port to the movement, contributing generously. MT. Chamberlain in dis cussing the plan said 'It is ;l move ment hich recommends itself most strongly to me, and should have the support of all public spirited citizens"
 Principal Louis P. Slauo of the High school was also approached last evening and hesitatcl not a moment to endorse the movement. Speaking of establishing a fund MT. Slaie said Ut is generally desirable that there should be some funds at hand to ren- der it possible for some young men to go to college and often the help of even small scholarship is just enough to turn the balance"
 The local young mems college club under whose auspices the campaign is being conducted and of which Rob- ert l.. Sengle is the president, is com rosed of approximately 100 members from all the universities of the east. The idea of organizing a young raen's college club in this city originated with General Secretary Barnes of the Y. M. .. A., who was struck by the large number of young lncn in the city gong to college. The organization of this ody is but a preliminary step to the formation of a University Elub as alreaGy exists in Hartford. Bridgeport and other neighboring cities. Such club would include in its membership all the college graduates i'll the city.
 These who have contributed to the fund follow:

Today has been a full one The First Connecticut has bounded from one hill to another, through deep can- yons and over the tops of lofty moun- , tains for two-thirds of the route until the level plains were reached, easing the footwork.

We covered twenty wearl- some miles today Tonight we are but twenty-three miles from Nogales. To- morrow however, we will have to re- trace our steps towards Patagonia to join the endorsements for the ''siege of Nogales' (more maneuvers.) Our camping ground tonight is on a wide plain that furnishes one of the best grazing districts in the state. All around us are large herds of cattle denotlng the prosperity of the ranch CTS unless mOlested by raiders. Car ter's ranch is where we are and I was particularly interested in an acuuaint- ance with a grizzled old warrior of half century ago who lives there
 This old veteran was an orderly with General Pero, an important figure in the famous raids of General Gus ter in the old frontier days This section raids during the past few months and not long ago a cattle rustler was driven into an old mine close by. The sheriff's posse did not venture to pursue the Mexican raider into the mine but waited outside for five weeks and then, certain that he had either been starved to death or into submis- sion, went in. They wandered about the subterranean shafts and found that he had made his escape by means of a natural passage that led from the mine under nearby hill.
 Several arrow heads have been picked up by the men enroute. These testify to the raid of 1915 when the wild Yaquis band made their raids here

TEMPERATURE OF THE BLOOD.

The temperature of human blood is
about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and in
healthy persons varies very little. If
your blood heat is very much below
the normal something serious is wrong
with your health. A very hot or an
extra cold day affects the temperature
of the blood very little.
That part of the skin where the SEN
sation of heat and cold is located re-
fleets the temperature of the sur
roundings, according to the habits of
different individuals. So that Arctic
explorers would feel the heat of a
stollehold terribly, while stoker would
be unable to bear exposure to wind and
snow.
When you are afraid you become few
erish. The blood rushes to the surface
of the skin, giving off a great deal Of
heat.
The glow of warmth felt by those
who drink not wisely but too well, who
believe they are hot, is a dangerous
sign, for it shows that the blood heat
must be below the normal.-Columbia
