The coffin was made OF wood, for metal Is too

A gigantic negro with the eyes Of n faithful

their grief. Following them were the chamber
lans and attendants OF the household, with red
caps on their black heads.
The coffin was gently laid on the Mussala tasay'

The holy prayer was chanted "Bissm Illah irrah-

DvINSK AS A PIVOTAL POINT
Thriving Russian City That Controls
River Dvina Valley, One of the
Strongest Fortified.

Dvinsk, one of Russia's strongest for
titled cities, is described In bulletin
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety, which says:
with a population Of 10000, in
Guiding 10000 Jews, Dvinsk is city
of prime Importance to Russia, for 1t
virtually controls the whole valley Of
the River Dvina, upon whose right
bank 1t Is situated, 40 miles Obs
miles by river) southeast Of Riga.
"Not only is Dvinsk important as a
strategic river point, but as thriving
railway center. 1t Is the junction
point for the great arteries Of COM
merce running from Riga to Smolensk,
and from Petrograd to wilma. There
is also an imTNrtant railroad to Libau.
Dvinsk is 1872 miles by rail southwest
Of Petrograd.
"Dvinsk is an important agricultural
center, enjoying an extensive trade In
flax, hemp and grain. 1t Is also a big
timber market. and its fiourishlng in
dustries before the war included flour
mills, breweries, match and tobacco
factories, tanneries, brick and tile
works.
''In most encyclopedias and gazeteers
the city is listed under its old name
of Dnaburg, but in 1893 the Russian
authorities officially declared 1t to be
Dvinsk.

paign In 1912 Marshal Oudinot tried

MEAT WASTED ON ALL HIDES
Faulty Butchering Also Results In

prepared by the United States Depart

According to reports received by the
merchandising specialists of the bu-
reau of markets, United States depart
ment of agriculture, a Washington Cd.
O. dealer states that nine steer hides
purchased by him carried 10 pounds
of waste meat. A Detroit dealer re-
ports that an average of six pounds
of waste meat was found on 40 COW
and steer hides received at his plant,
and that in ten days his men scraped
2,177 pounds of waste meat from hides,
or enough to supply low-grade meat to
about 5000 people for one day. Faulty
butcher1ng in addition to causing a
loss of the food value of the meat
which is wasted, results in a consid-
cradle loss of edible fats which re-
main on the hides.

PUT MACHINES UNDER COVER
Prices Have Advanced Greatly and
Proper Care Of Farm impIe-
ments Will Pay Well.

Word is being sent out to farmers
over the country to take special pains
this fall and winter to protect their
machines. Prices have advanced
greatly, and care of farm machinery
will pay doubly well this year. So the
word is going out:
To put machines under cover as
soon as the seasons work with them
Is over.
To go over every machine carefully
as soon as opportunity will permit,
tightening bolts, replacing broken
parts. and oiling carefully to prevent
rusting.
To paint machines, as painting
lengthens the life of machine.
Bridge paint is suggested as the best
for iron parts.

meat is naturally somewhat dry, as
much as possible of the juices should
be retained in cooking it. The follow
ing standard recipes for preparing rab-
bit apply to mature animals of wild
and domestic kinds. For young Bel
gian hares weighing five pounds or
less and young wild rabbits the time
of cooking may be somewhat reduced.
Baked Rabbit en- Casserole.--Lay
slices of bacon, season with thyme,
sage, thinly sliced onions, and salt to
taste. Fill the dish with water, bake
in slow oven for one and q half
hours. A covered baking dish or pan
may be used instead of casserole,
and the meat may be boned or not
as desired.
Rabbit Fricassee.-Brown some but
ter In a hot iron skillet. Then fry the
hare, previously cut up, brown on both
sides. Next cover the meat with hot
water and stew until it is thoroughly
tender, seasoning ii to taste. At the
end of the stewing, let the meat again
fry brown.
Rabbit Pot Pie.--Cut a dressed rab-
bit into small pieces; salt and let
stand overnight. Place the cut pieces
in a pot previously filed with warm
water enough to cover the meat. Put
in medium-sized onion, sliced, and
stew over medium fire until the meat
is tender. Prepare a rich pie-crust
dough In the proportions of one quart Of
| flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a
tablespoonful of baking powder, with
enough water to give it proper con-
sistency. Roll out fiat as for pie crust,
spread lard over the surface; fold and
reroll twice, spreading lard each time.
Line the pan bottom and sides with
dough and fill with meat and alternate
layers Of potato In small pieces and a
few small onions. Use the thickened
broth from the stew pot as a gravy,
| pouring 1t into the pan over the con-
tents. Cover with dough, place in an
the whole upper crust is light golden
b'Dwn; serve hot.
The above recipes are offered mere
ly as suggestions. The hind legs and
saddles of the rabbit contain much
meat and may be cooked in many diff
ferent ways; boned, they make deli
| cious croquettes. The front quarters
and head may be used as soup stock
the broth may be seasoned to taste
and served with vegetables, barley
or rice.

American automobiles are rapid
ly growing popular in China. Their
use Is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack of roads outside of
a few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and In Shanghai 1t is said to be diff
cult to maintain taxicab business be-
cause the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew
eral motor driven bus lines Chinese
chauffeurs are said to be the coolest
