fair election law along the lines OF the

drawn up by Arthur ii. Geissler ana
four other committeeman. to be initiat

The action was taken following an

ORIGIN OF OX-TAIL SOUP
Starving Partisan First to Use Appen-
dages for Food.

Kansas City Journal: Ox-tail soup!
Did you ever stop to think that this is
perhaps the only soup that is made out
of the tail of an animal? We use many
animals for food. and we use nearly
every part of the animal, but the use
Of the oxtail for cooking purposes Is
unique. Its origin as soup is also
unique. and is only another proof of the
quotation Necessity is the mother OF
invention"
Its use in soup dates back to the
French revolution, and is one OF the
good things that came of horror
During the reign of terror, in 1875.
many of the mobiles were reduced to
beCgary. and starvation stared many a
one in the face One of these mobiles
being more observant than the others
noticed that the wagons that carried
the hides of animals to the tanneries
contained besides the skins, the tails.
He also knew that nearly every part OF
the OK was eatable and so he thought
he would try an experiment. Begging
for permission to cut off few OF the
tails of the hides that hung from the
wagon he took them TO his home and
boiled them down to soup. In MS
starving state he thought he had never
tasted anything so good, and he was not
slow in telling his secret to a Few OF
his noble friends. Very soon there was
a great demand for the tails OF oxen
and the popularity of the soup gained
and still holds first place among good
soups

WHY APPROVE THE
$35,OOO,O00 Y. M. c. A.
WAR FUND

1. Young men by the hundreds
of thousands are giving their lives:
others should give time and money.
2. The average man has been
blessed with prosperity during these
late years. Increase in wealth has
been beyond the increase in cost.
We need to learn sacrifice in order
that the nation may be saved.
8. President Wilson and officers
of the Army and Navy want this
work. We must back them. (See
Presidents executive order.)
4. The Soldiers want this work.
They are daily giving testimony to
that.
5. If we do not support the
American Army we shall be called
upon to support the German army.
6. The vital relation that this
work sustains to the winning OF
the war and the fastening Of the
end of the War. This can be prov
en- out of the mouths of the gener-
ais. (See Pershings dispatches and
others.)
z. The requset and desire of
the allies. Can we turn a deaf ear?
8. "Morale is to other factors
in war as three to one" We must
safeguard and build up morale. We
must feed and refresh the spirit of
men.
9. It is social strategy to save
the ideals of our men for the future
of our country. Shall the young
men who go forth to represent us
oversea come home with bodies
shot through with disease, or shall
they come back as pillows of
strength? There are no zones of
safety over there.
10. This is a crisis. We must
act quickly. We must cut into our
principal. The man who gees over
seas gives more than his income.
Our giving must be of the same
quality. He will cut year out of
his life. Why not we?
II. This \ is a National Com
munity Movement-under the aus
