Have you signed the Pledge Card
yet? Are you fighting for America
or helping Prussia? If you are econ
omizing in your use of wheat. meat,
butter and sugar, you are fighting
with America, but if you are wasting
food, you are helping the Kaiser.
We should eat all we need, but
should eat wisely and without waste.
We can do this by buying less, by
buying seasonable supplies, by serv-
ing smaller portions, by using poul-
try, game and fish in place of beef,
mutton and pork, by using corn meal
and other cereal flours in place of
wheat flour. and by using less sugar.
To keep our own soldiers and those
of our allies in fighting trim by furn-
ishing them the necessary food is our
duty. Herbert Hoover says that it
is duty of necessity, humanity and
honor. As a free people we have
elected to discharge this duty, not
under autocratic decree, but without
other restraint than the guidance OF
individual conscience.

win the war?

A LITTLE SUNSHINE
OPENING AN OYSTER.
When You Are About the JOB Do II
Humane Manner.

People have been stud. ing for many
ears how to open an oyster in q hui
u0na way. The oyster is Of retir-
ng disposition, being most often found
lsleep in the oyster bed. He is harm
.css, and as consequence his owner
IS not required to muzzle him during
the hot months. The oyster makes Il
good food If he has not been too So
ciable with the little ptomalne and
typhoid germs.
To open IN oyster according to the
rules of the A. 8. P. C. A. 1t Is only
necessary to provide oneself with a
pan Of salt water, a fountain pen drop
per, piece OF dried apple, a sheet of
very sticky fly paper, kitchen knife
and tennis racket. After having OBJ
tanned possession Of an oyster by hon.
est means place him near the pan of
salt water. He will not move for two
hours, until he becomes thirsty, when
his shell will gradually begin to open.
Before he sees you stuff the piece Of
dried apple between his jaws and then
with the fountain pen dropper drop
'Sial uioPo Va NdtCl oh thC upPiC.
1t will slowly swell and force the shell
farther open.
When the oyster sees there is no
hope he will begin to run. Deity
place the fly paper under him, and In
his efforts to escape he will tangle his
feet. The oyster can then be easily
separated from the fly paper with
kitchen knife and when strained
through the tennis racket Is ready to
be served raw, cooked or with straw
berries and cream. In this manner q
dozen oysters may be opened in a lit
tie over twenty-four hours.
Another way to open an oyster Is
to mash him on the nose with a potato
inasher. AS most people do not know
where the oysters nose is, this method
requires complicated explanations and
Is not much used.-Brooklyn Eagle.

BELIEVE INTENSE SUBMARINE
WAR IMMINENT. ?

Pittsburg, Jan. 19-(By Union AS
sociated Press)-From private advic-
Is received here a new and greater
campaign Of submarine fright1ulness
isiu pf6eress, as a result Of the fail
ure Of the Allies to consider peace
terms at this time. Such a campaign
would be Of most serious import to
the steel trade. Several months ago
when there. was no prospect Of peace
and the steel makers were Indifferent
to the threats of domestic consumers
to curtail steel orders, since they were
able to secure fancy figures abroad,
arrangements were made to get the
foreign orders shipped. When peace
became possibility and foreign or
ders were cancelled, then there were
regrets that so many domestic orders
have been turned down. If new and
more destructive submarine campaign
Is inaugurated as reply to the Al
lles' rejection Of peace terms, exports
Will eventually be cut down very
largely. Unless the domestic con-
esumers take more steel to make up
lor what cannot be sent abroad, the
situation for the makers is apt to
prove serious. ,.a

cient material. Actual facts in cot
ton are bullish, as this weeks statis-
tics clearly show. Besides politics,
bulls have to contend with the con-
ventional belief inherent to this per-
iod of the year, that prices must be
pulled down to the basis of specula-
tive prospects conditioned by the new
crop for another season. If ever q
seasons facts and rights were con-
crete detached case, it is this season
as there are no reserve supply to tide
over and supply is too short to hold
out. Therefore, old crops should en-
tirely 60 their own way while new
crops may be entitled to the cream Of
bearish sentiment and q widening diff
ference. New crops at Ice hardly
hold the same amount Of right as old
crops at IT cents with q documented
bulliah case, While precipitation was
again general east Of tn eriver there
was practically none in the western

While Greenwood lay sleeping ii

could scarcely be distinguished block
away. The fog was accompanied by
a drop in the temperature the ther-

The dew that had fallen on steps and
porches during night had turned to
ice when early risers were about the

action today supported yesterdays in
formation to the effect that market is
uneasy over the absence, of spot offer
ings from America and that Manches-

opened ABOUT s higher but lost the
gain on selling on bearish sentiment
reflected on New York advices and
the National Gihners' forecast Of 95,-
900 for the period, which was rather
more than expected. The impression
made by the sudden bear attack at

The real prop to the market is the
resolute attitude Of tn espot holders
and bullish technical conditions. With
the change lin sentiment to- bearish,
the market has become oversold and
the lower the price level the more
frequent are rallies likely to occur.
