VETS
ORDERED TO SAVE FOOD
(By International News Service)

(By International News SerVlce)
NEW ORLEANS, LA. July Elm
general order from the headquarters
OF the United Confederate Veterans
here the old fighters for the South are
urged to show their patriotism by
leading in the food conservation cam
paign.
The order, signed by General George
P. Harrison, reads in part, as FOL
lows
"Those who have investigated the
food waste, or are in position 10
know, say that it is beyond compre-
hension and will be followed by dire
consequences if not checked. Our peo-
pie seem not to realize the burden
resting on this country in the matter
of food supplies and food consulhp-
ton.
"In the trying time of war the Con-
federate soldier did not shirk nor hold
back, but when ordered to take bat
tery or hold a difficult position at all
hazards ever did as directed, showing
those qualities of courage and endur-
ance which have made his name a
SYNONYM of all that is valiant and he
roic.
"The general commanding, then,
feels that his appeal to his beloved
associates will not pass unheeded at
this time He begs them not only to
indulge in no waste individually, but
to do all possible to prevent waste in
others. The waste of single slice
of bread each day in every home
means the daily waste of a million
loaves of bread. Think of it! The
Col ,ederate soldier cannot, owing to
the infirmities of age. go to the firing
line, as his inclination prompts him
but the general commanding is salts
fled that he can be relied on to do his
| part in the way suggested and thus
add fresh laurels to his already glori-
Gus crown"

HANUKAH.

Sunday evening. December 9-ac-
cording to the Hebrew calendar Kislev
25-the Jewish people will usher in
the observance of the post Mosaic fes-
tival of Hanukah, also known as the
Feast of the Maccabees and the Festi-
val of Lights.
1t commentaries the heroism of
the Hasmonean House of Mattathias,
of his son Judas, the Maccabee. and
his valiant brethren; their loyalty to
the faith of their fathers, and their
victory over Autiochus. king of Syria,
who had waged a relentless war of
determination against the religion of
Israel other rulers and races had
sought to destroy the Jew, Antiochus
was bent on the eradication of Juda-
ism. To accomplish this end the tenn
pie was seized and defiled by the Sy
rian hosts; idols were set up in the
sacred shrine dedicated to the worship
of the One God; the priesthood pro-
famed by the enforcement of idola-
trous practices and the Israelites or
dered. under penalty of death, to bow
before the idols of the Syrians.
Under the military leadership of
Judas Maccabee, the Israelites waged
heroic warfare against their powerful
adversaries for the right to worship
God according to the dictates of their
conscience. After three years of war
on the same day, Kislev the 25th,
on which three years before the
Syrian idol had been placed in the
temple-the Israelites celebrated the
birth of their religious freedom,
cleansed the temple which had been
profaned by the Syrians. and rededi-
Gated it to the God of liberty and
light. r,
The feast is associated with a
charming legend. 1t is said that when
the Jewish heroes had reclaimed the
sanctuary from the unholy touch of
the heather, single cruise of
oil was found. insufficient to
supply the lamps of the tenn
pie. Yet it sufficed to fill all the
lamps OF the temple during the eight
days of the celebration of the festival.
Gods light never fails those who look
to Him for spiritual and moral illumi-
nation.

GROWTH OF MANUFACTURES.

The effect of three years of war
upon the manufacturing industries of
the United States can now be meas
ured, in some degree at least, by cer<
ton official data which render pos
sible the comparison of conditions in
1917 with those of 1914. An analysis
by the National City Bank of New
York of figures of export of manufac-
lures compared with those of 1914 in
dicates a wonderful development in
the exports and evidently a large
growth in the, manufacturing indus
tries of the country in that short pc
riod.
Manufactures exported in the nine
months of 1917, for which figures are
now available, are more than four
times as great in value as in the same
months of 1914. Finished manufac-
lures ready for consumption exported
in the nine months ending with Sep
TENDER, 1917, amount to $2,O63, 00O,-
| 900, against $466, OOO 900 in the same
months of 1914. Manufactures for
the use in manufacturing are $751;
900, 900, against 1852, 000,0 900 in the
corresponding months of 1914. Thus
the total of manufactures exported in
nine months of 1917 is 5000, 900, 900
against 100000 in the same
months of 1914.
While this very large increase &C.

DINNER ST 0RTEs

Two brothers who live in an East

served with nasal organs.
one of the ring spinners at the mill
where they worked invited them to a
wedding and promised to send a cab
for them.
The cab duly arrived and the two
brothers entered and planked them
selves down, one at each window.
In order to create an impression
during the drive to the wedding, the
two brothers were looking out of the
cab, one on either side. so that the
people could see them.
All went we'll until the cab came to
a rather narrow railway arch, which
our travellers had to pass thru. The

TRAVELETTE
The Pension Office.
by NIKsAH.

The same act of congress that cre-
ated the insurance plan for our SOL
diers and sailors dealt a crushing
blow to the pension office. For some
twenty-five years longer there will be
veterans of past wars for the pension
office to care for, but the heroes of
the present war will settle their claims
with the war risk insurance bureau,
and in time the pension bureau will
become non existent if no new work
is given IL.
Government bureaus in Washington
may come and go. but government
buildings have an air of solidity and
a way of sticking on the Job for an
incredible number of years. The pen
sion building may be considered as in
thirty-two years old and doubtless has
the best part of it's career yet before
it.

The rooms are built around an

half way to the ceiling of the court.
