Improvements that may be noticed as

with the rapid treatment of the wound

OF wounds.
Five or ten miles behind the fighting
sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 men-have
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be ex

by the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within very short
time. Here also is a special hospital.

Immediately, if necessary, without
waiting for other wounded to be placed

HOW TO SAVE LIVESTOCK
Markets Division Of the State Food
Committee Is Seeking Solution
Two Ways Open.

prepared by the Markets Division
of the State Committee of Food Pro.
duction and Conservatory
A mighty effort will be made to pre-.
vent the slaughter Of breeding cattle
and other livestock this fall Ways
and means for this prevention were
discussed few days ago at meet
ing of the markets division of the state
committee of food production and con.
servation with group of men from
the South st. Paul stockyards and from
the farms Of Minnesota.
The situation is really very grave.
The drouth in parts of northern Min.
nesota, in North Dakota, and in Mon.
tana is already sending large numbers
of cattle to the stockyards. The farm.
ers shipping it simply cannot hold it
because they have no feed.
Two methods have been suggested:
Urging the farmers in regions where
there is supply Of forage to keep
their fodder and buy more cattle, thus
saving at least part of the cattle from
the block; persuading the railroads to
grant special tariffs on forage, in or
der that supplies may be shipped to
farmers having cattle but no feed.
In this connection the utmost need
of saving every ounce Of straw in the
state and in the northwest was urged.
The possibility, even Of legally for.
bidding the burning Of strawstacks was
discussed. One Of the group suggest
ed that the burning of stack ought
this year to be punishable by SEN
tsnce Of at least thirty days in jail.

Making Fire With Ice.

Take a smooth, clear, curving piece
Of ice, one not too thick, and hold 1t
in the rays of the sun so that it will
bring the light to sharp focus just
as will lens in reading glass. The
Ice will not last long enough to burn
a piece of paper, but if the focus rests
on speck Of gun cotton it will cause
combustion and a fame will result.
Arctic explorers have built fires often
with this expedient when matches
were absent and flint and rock mol
handy.

Many man who permits himself to be led forth to musical entertainments he does not care for will appreciate the following: "What made you start clapping your hands when that woman stepped on your foot in the tramcar:" 'I was dozing." answered Mir.

 "Dixie."
 The song "Dixie" was written in 1859 by D. D. Emmett, and was first publicly sung by Bryant's mintrels, ill New York, at Mechanics hail. The in. spring air and the worlds which were iu the darky dialect, appealed to the South, where the song became popular It became the battle song of the con federacy. There were two other "Dixies," the one a northern ballad and the other southern ballad of the Civil war, by Albert Pike, which first ap- peared in the Natchez (Miss.) Courier The origin of the phrase 'Dixieland" is thought to be in the name of Mir. Dixie, slave-holding New York citi. zen, who moved to the South. His large number of slaves, the story runs, bemoaned leaving their old home, which they called Dixie's Land. The phrase spread and was appropriated for the Southern states, which were substituted for the original Dixieland. The phonetic connection between the word and Mason and Dixon's line also has been pointed out. The boundary line to the negroes was "Mason and Dixie's'' land.

Associated Press Summary.)


 The announcement of the British war office of the withdrawal of the German forces along an 11mile front on both sides of the Ancre river in France is admitted by the Berlin war office for the first time.
 The ground was voluntarily and systematically evacuated and the de- fense placed in another parallel line. y says Berlin, which added that the movement remained concealed from the enemy"
 Again the British pushed forward their line to the north of the Ancre, and again apparently without much opposition from the Germans. The latest point of retreat of the Teutons as reported by London is north of Miraumont, where, over front Of mile and a half, the British advanced an average distance of 600 yards.
 That the Germans in their retreat during the last month had offered lit tie or no opposition seems evident from the British communications, which say that during that period only 2133 Germans were made prison CTS.
 In the Somme region the Germans, after a heavy bombardment. launched attacks against British trench at Ablaincourt and Rancourt, and at each place succeeded in penetrating the trenches. They later were eX- pelled, according to London.
 Berlin records the repulse of strong British attack south of Souchez, while Paris reports successful sur prise attack on German trench in the region of Tahure.
 On none of the other fronts has any battle of great proportions been Tn progress.
 Russian counter attacks against the Austro-H Hungarian forces which cap tured positions in the Jacobene-kim polung sector, near the Rumanlan Bukowina border, resulted in the re- capture of several of the positions, ac- cording to Petrograd. Attacks north of the Jacobene-Kimpolung road failed

Business Based on ServIoe.

Modern business is built up largely on guarantees. People don't trade with folks tbey can't trust. That business is getting freer from traps and hooks is due largely to guaranties, some of which assure you of satisfaction or your money back. Others promise long continued service and free repairs. while others give a free trial till you make up your mind you want to buy. The idea is to help you get your full moneys worth and to make you feel safe in buying an article on which you are not fully posted, but which you want if it suits you.-Farm and Fire side

 Expect Pass Senate Bill.

The house leaders are expecting the senate to pass it's bill as substitute measure, and say they can put the senate bill through the house as soon as it comes to them.
 The house bill, besides eliminating the phrase land other instrumentali- ties," also carries a committee amend ment which would prohibit the tnsur- ing of intuition ships under the war risk bureau, to which the president is authorized to transfer a part of the $100,000,000 to be derived from the bond issue provided for in the bill. Such vessels are not being insured by the government now, but the amend ment is considered undesirable by the administration.
 The vote was preceded by roll call on a motion to send the bill back to the committee on foreign affairs, which was beaten, 295 to 124.
