Hint for Builders.

The factory inspection department
of the state of Illinois has issued n
gratuitous suggestion to architects
builders and factory owners recon-
mending the incorporation of an l.
beam into the construction of all
large buildings. supported by brackets
extending from the upper part of the
building by which scaffolds NAV be
supported for the use of painters
sandblast cleaners and others having
occasion to work on the front of the
structure. The beam furnishes a trock
for trolleys from which the scaffolds
are hung. and is safety feature and
great convenience. saving q great
deal Of valuable time usually spent in
rigging up devices of one kind or an
other to support scaffoiding. 1t al

ments of the men are not attended
by such great risks as are otherwise

FIRELESS COOKER IS BOON
contrivance Which Will Prove Big Aid
to the Housewife Can Be Made
With Little Trouble.

Dread of long cooking processes
renders the fireless cooker desirable
to the housewife in the cooler seasons
as well as during hot weather.
The following will be found to an
swer the purpose. A candy pail or
butter tub makes the outside. Inside
this is fitted galvanized pail leaving
a two-inch space. The intervening
space should be filled with ground
cork, shavings, sawdust, or even chaff.
The cover of the candy pail should be
built downward and also filled with
the insulating material. A second
cover Is fitted just below the rim of
the galvanized pail extending to the
sides of the wooden bucket. This COW
ers up the insulating material. 1t
may be made of wall-board or thin
wood.
Cooking vessels can be purchased
at almost any hardware store at
small cost. 1t is usually found best
to use one stone below the cooking
vessel and frequently one above. These
are heated on the stove and with the
heat of the hot vessel will continue
the cooking process for several hours.
Well shaped stones or even hard brick
will answer though the usual soap
stones are better.-E. w. Hamilton OF

Is reported the internal condition of

recent strike outbreaks and other la
Dor and SOcialistic manifestations have

Lack Of Officers Hamperina.
Lack of trained and experienced Of
ficers is acting as handicap to the
new British army in France. as neu-
trails and enemies agree that the mil
lions poured in the field from England
are of the highest fighting material.
Yet their lack of expert leadership is
costing them enormous losses and for
a long time prevented Sir Douglas
Haig from keeping up with his French
allies i'm the SOmme offensive.
France, next to Germany. is perhaps
better off for officers than any Of the
countries at war, and it is because
the republic. like the fatherland, saves
its commissioned men as far as pos
sible. 1t is well known that shipers on
either side pay little attention to Or
dinary soldiers, being under orders to
pick off officers only. And therefore 1t
is highly necessary that officers be
difficult to differentiate from the men
in their trenches In order that enemy
snipers may not spot them too easily.
British Officers Easily Spotted.

HOW TO CLEANSE CURTAINS
This Mixture Will Make Them Look
Like New and They Will Not Be
Worn Out In the Washing.

After shaking out the loose dirt
cover curtains with cold water. Cut
up half bar Of good white soap, add
a large tablespoonful of borax and
melt to jelly with hot water. Take
this from the stove and add half a
cupful of kerosene. Make a thick
hot suds with part Of this mixture and
boiling water. Squeeze curtains from
cold water and dip one at a time into
the hot suds. The dirt will simply
run out. Put through a second lighter
suds, rinse in hot water, starch, add.
ing little bluing and put on stretch
ers. The result is curtains which look
almost like new and are not worn out
in washing. With two large pans this
can be done in bathroom or kitchen.
This mixture is sufficient for four
pairs Of curtains.

meat to the ultimate consumer at rea-
sOnable prices"
A table Of retail food prices shows
that since the beginning Of the war
they have increased on an average 65
per cent. Evidence taken by the COM
mittee showed there was less total dis
tress in the country than In an ordinary
year of peace, the majority of the
classes which suffer chronically from
distress being In unusually regular en-
ployment. This. together with higher
wages earned by, and the greater
needs of. so many workers employed In
the production of munitions has tended
to increase considerably the total de-
mand for food.

PORTUGAL SENDS SOLDIERS
Transports 10000 Troops to Western
Battle Lines in Face of Trouble at

Paris.-BefOre winter sets in 1t is
expected there will be 100000 italian
troops fighting on the Frencn front.
Already two contingents comprising
25,OO0 men each have arrived in France
and soon are expected to take up their
positions in the Eosges. All of the
Italians will be sent to that region,
the mountainous country comprising
the extreme end of the fortified line in
Alsace.
The Italians will comprise regi-
ments of the Alpini, the men recruited
skilled in mountain warfare, and Injured
to work in the rarified air of high alti-
tudes.
Soon to Be Sent to Front.
That the first contingents soon will
be on the actual firing line on the
French front is believed here, and it
Is further thought this fact had some
thing to do with Italy's declaration of
war against Germany, as Italians will
be engaged in actual conflict with the
Germans.
Besides these troops Italy will fur
nish special mountain artillery for its
contingent, the guns being Of the same
caliber as the light French-75 milli-
meters-but capable of higher angle
fire and mOuAted on different type
wheels and caissOns, making them
more adaptable for hauling up grades.
Some OF. these guns are mounted on
skids. so that they can be dragged up
steep mountain trails. Italian Red
Cross hospital units also will accom-
pany the Alpini.
Besides the Italians there will be
still another nationality represented in
the trenches on the western front.
Portugal is sending 10000 men to this
front, and it is believed that they al

wears a khaki collar and khaki tie.
The German sharpshooters have not
been slow to find that out, and the
British losses Of officers show the price
that they still are paying for this gfar-
Ing and distinguishing mark.
Every French officer from q sub
lieutenant up carries, swung over his
shoulders, pair Of binoculars in a
black leather case. The German
snipers know this perfectly well, so
that when they ensconce themselves In
a convenient shell hole, or other place
of vantage. they take no chances on
revealing their whereabouts for the
sake of bagging an ordinary p0ifu !;
they wait until they can draw bead
on the wearer of pair Of field glasses
and then try to pot him.
But what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, ass all German
officers carry field glasses too, and the
French sharpshooters lie in wait for
them in identically the same way.
French Method Of Charging.
When the French charge and the Of
ficers are forced 10 take to the open
with their men, they are not permit
ted to carry their field glasses with
them.
The Germans in some cases have
adopted ruse exactly opposite. In

| LondOn.-German meatless days, so
much ridiculed here, may soon be cop
led by Great Britain
A suggestion that the consumption
of meat be stopped for one day in the
week is contained in the recommends
tions of the official departmental COM
mittee appointed by the board of trade.
Only those engaged in severe manual
labor should eat meat seven days a
week, the committee urges. 1t also rec
ommends the opening of municipal
shops in districts where retailers are
obtaining excessive profits and the re-
vision Of pay rolls to improve the posi-
ton of those who have not benefited In
| the general upward trend both of COM
IN, dity and labor prices.
| Other recommendations include the
speeding up of building of merchant
ships, especially those intended for the
conveyance of refrigerated meat. and
provision for adequate labor at the
docks. Seven members Of the commits
tee further recommend that there
should be public control of prices of
primary foodstuffs produced at home.
In many cases, it is stated, far too
much profit is being made by home pro.
ducers.
Live Stock Not Wanted.
The committee reports against the
proposal to import live cattle from
Canada. 1t says:
without going into the yexed ques-
ton of the alleged danger of disease,
we have to report that there seems to
be at present no likelihood of any con-
siderable supply of cattle from that
source, even if the scarcity of shipping
did not make the importation of live
as against dead meat unecOnOmical."
With regard to the first suggestion
the report says:
I'VE urge all those who are not en-
gagged in severe manual labor and who
at present eat butchers meat every
day to refrain from consumption one
day each week. We believe a large
number of patriotic citizens are only
waiting for clear and authoritative
guidance and that such voluntary alb
stentation on the part Of the more for
tunate, while it will have no harmful
effect on health, will appreciably en-
large the supply of meat available for
poorer members of the community"
Poor People Well OF.
, The committee touches on the vital
point in the meat problem when 1t rec
ommends that 'in disposing Of meat
which it purchases for the civil pOpu-
lation the government should impose
such conditions not only on wholesale
merchants but also on retailers as
