See that the meal rapidly boiIs, then set back to simmer. When cooked with plen ty of water each gran of corn meal will stand out by itself just as does rice when well cooked.

POISON GAS NOT CHI oRlNE
Substance Alone Could Never Cause
Agony and Internal Injuries Re-
ported From France.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Chlorine is not the
substance from which poison gases Is
made on the European battlefronts, ac-
cording to paper read before the
American Electrochemical society con-
vention by William d. Marshall, del
egate.
During the first year of the war;"
Mr.. Marshal said, reports from
abroad frequently reached this side
to the effect that chlorine was used
In the form of gas attacks, releasing
1t from cylinders, or containers,
against the position of the enemy. My
own experience with chlorine, as well
as what I have heard from others on
the subject, leads me to believe that 1t
alone could never have caused such
agony and internal injuries as were de-
scribed, because In my practice / have
never seen nor heard of anybody per-
manently injured by inhaling chlorine,
although the temporary inconvenience
and pain caused by 1t seemed at times
rather serious"
Rather than perform deadly mis-
sion Mr.. Marshall said that chlorine
had lent itself for war purposes in
sanitation, sterilization of wounds, etc.

RED CROSS CARES FOR
HOMELESS IN FRANCE
Takes Up Task of Providing for
$4,000 Old Men, Women
and Children.

The Germans are sending back into
France by thousands the women, the
little children and the old men who
have been held in the captured prov
inces, and on the American Red Cross
has fallen the task of caring for them
$4,000 homeless ones to date, and
more coming every day.
1.-TWO trains of French rapatries con-
tanning 1000 people, go per cent of

bles Maj. Gen. Grayson NJ. p. Murphy.
Red Cross commissioner for France.
"The children are in very poor con-
dition, many suffering from tubercu-
losis, skin and infectious diseases.
"The American Red Cross is open
Ing a dispensary at Evian, and an
acute hospital of 80 beds FOR the sick
est of the children. A convalescent
hospital of 120 beds at Thonon near
Evian is being taken over by the Red
Cross and plans are being made for
hospital of $50 beds at st. Joseph
du Lac, near Evian."
For the care of these "rapatries"
the Red Cross has formed a bureau
of refuge and home relief, and Ed
ward T. Devine, professor of social
economics at Columbia university, has
been appointed by Major Murphy to
be chief of the bureau.
This bureau plans to supply these
homeless people with portable houses,
help them to complete damaged or
partly built houses, supply them with
a little furnituye and implements, and
help them support themselves.
One of the most urgent needs Is a
campaign for health conservation.
These of the conquered lands have
been herded together in a most In
sanitary manner, they are poor and
weak, and liable to disease. Many al.

Professor Devine's first task will be
to relieve the immediate necessities,
and, as fast as he can, get the families
together and back on their own lands
as the Germans are gradually driven
! away.

GERMANY RESORTS
TO HARSH MEASURES
In An EndeaVor to Reduce Con
sumption Of Country's Coal

Berne, Oct 28.-(Correspondenc
of the Associated Press. )-Germany
has resorted to stringent measures OF
reducing its coal consumption during,
the coming winter by cutting dow,
it's train service and curtailing tho
number of people who travel es-
pecially in express trains.
The latest edition of the Journal
Of the Association of German Rail-
roads announces that at q recent
meeting Of the representatives of all
German railroads. held in Berlin. It
was unanimously decided not only to
reduce the number of trains, but to
put such q high cost upon travelling,
by means Of radical raises in the,
price of tickets, as to insure that only
those will travel who absolutely must
do SO.
The advances contemplated and
which probably will become effective
within a very short time are as fol.
lows: On all tickets for express trains
costing up to five marks. an extrA
charge of three marks will be levied;
tickets hitherto costing from Ave to
10 marks will be taxed marks eH-
ira; from 10 to it marks. ID marka
extra: from Is to 20 marks, 20 marks
extra, and for sums above 26 marks,
10 marks extra for each 10 marks -
ordinarily charged.

hopes to have one hundred shows in
operation in as many different locali-
