MACHINE GUNS ID bE MADE IN LARGE
 NUMbERSAT ONCE

Washington, July 1.-Contracts for the manufacture of machine guns are being awarded by the war department follow ing a series of tests under the supervision of board of experts from the army and navy. The experiments indicate, says the department, that both the air cooled and water cooled types are satisfactory
 'The machine gun board as a result of it's labors, found itself able to rec ommend satisfactory types of guns of both kinds and it is now up to the man ufacturing talent of the country to pro- duce them in the large numbers in which they will be required
 { Tt is not deemed wise to disclose the programme of manufacture nor to render prominent by publication the places where manfacture is likely to be carried on; but 1t will be gratifying to the coun- try to know that in the tests and conclu- sions of the board 1t was abundantly shown that American invention has not been asleep"

 ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH
 John Huss," the Bohemian pre- reformation hero-martyr, was the sub ject considered by Rev. H. Reuter-, pas tor, last night at Zion Lutheran church. This was the third of the announced se- ries of stereopticon lectures on Luther and the Reformation
 The stereopticon views followed Huss from the cradle to the stake, exhibiting scene of his birthplace, the University of Prague the capital of Bohemia, his ordination to the priesthood, IIuss de- lending himself before the council, the Dominican convent prison in which Huss was confined, Huss in chains coura ageous- ly defending his teachings and finally the great reformer burned at the stake for religious liberty's sake.
 The spacious auditorium was crowded to the doors. These reformation lec- lures, with views, are decidedly the best drawing card I have had since I have been pastor of this church, said Dr. Reuter-. aThe people generally, not alone Lutherans, are profoundly interested in the fundamentals of the great reforma- ton of the sixteenth century

PROPER WAY TO SMOKE MEAT
Soft Wood Should Not Be Used in the
Process, for Reason That Will
Be Apparent.

The proper smoking OF cured pork
aids materially its keeping qualities
and improves the flavor of the meat.
Brine-cured meat is ready to be
smoked after II has been in the brine
from five to seven weeks. After the
meat is removed from the brine 1t
should be soaked in Iukewarm wa
ter or in water at II temperature of
90 degrees, for about q hours This
diSsolves the salt from the outside of
the meat. If the meat is smoked
without washing coating of salt is
found on the outside of the smoked
meat, which detracts materially from
its appearance. After the meat has
soaked for a period of about - hours
1t should be taken out of the vessel
and hung up on racks where the water
can drain away or evaporate.
When thoroughly dry the meat
should be hung up in the smokehouse,
the pieces near the ceiling and at "A
short distance from one another so
that all parts will be uniformly ex-
posed to the smoke
The selection Of the fuel is of great
Importance. Soft woods should never
be used, as they give off too much
carbon which will be deposited on the
outside of the meat, making it sooty
and giving it a toO-dark color. Green
hickory, maple or other hardwOods
should be selected. COrncobs make
an excellent substitute.
steady smoke for from SO to As
hours is sufficient for mildly smoked
meat. If the meat is to be kept until
late in the summer, it is we'll to smoke
it for about three days. The fire
should be kept low so that the mini
mum Of heat is given off. When too
much heat Is given off the fat on the
meat will melt and run over the meat,
causing it to become streaky. Meat,
when smoked sufficiently, should be of
an amber color.

HOW TO RUN YOUR FURNACE
Saving of Coal and Better Service Will
Be Had If These Instructions
Are Followed.

There's a lesson for every household
er in the pamphlet on how to save coal,
just given out here by the anthracite
bureau Of information. Listen:
Don't put in too much coal or too
little.
Don't crowd it above the top of the
friedrich lining in range, cylinder stove
or hOt-air furnace.
Fill the fuel space twice a day in
winter weather, heaping the coal
slightly in the center.
Don't add small quantities of coal
several times a day, with attendant
shakings. Shake the CRATE only twice
a day before fresh coal is put in and
stop when bright light shows under
meath.
Don't leave the feed door open; it
cOols the heating surfaces. To check
draft, open the check damper in the
stovepipe and shut the ashpit door
See that the coal is properly con-
sumed and not shaken through the
CRATE to pass out with the ashes.
Keep the ashpit empty.
Don't use the wrong size of coal ;
it's uneconomical.
If right size and quality of coal are
used no ash sitter is required.
