ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG.
Rules Governing the Use Of the Star
Spanqled Banner.


There are many citizens who are not
familiar with the rules governing the
use of the stars and stripes. To them
the following hints on flag etiquette
will be of interest:
The flag should not be hoisted before
sunrise nor allowed to remain up after
sunset. 1t should not be displayed
upon stormy days.
When the flag is displayed at half
staff for mourning it is to be lowered
to that position from the top OF the
staff. It is afterward hoisted to the
top before it is finally lowered.
When the flag is formally raised all
present should stand at attention, with
hand raised to the forehead ready for
the salute.
When our national flag and state Or
other flags fly together or are used IN
decoration together our national flag
should be on the right
When used On bier or casket at a
funeral the stars should be placed ct
the head. IN no case should the flac;
be allowed to touch the ground.
1t is an unwritten law in the navy
that the flag is never to be washed; it
Is always to be considered immaculate
For indoor decorations tic flag can
only be used as q drapery; it cannot be
used to cover a bench or table, desk
or box where anything can be placed
or set upon the flag.-Daughters Of the
American Revolution Magazine.

AN URfASH!uM&1LE FISH.
Fine In Flavor and Food Value, Yet
Our Anqlers Discard 1t.


1t seems as il there are fashions in
fish just now as there are in wearing
apparel. A fish that brings in German
markets nearly four times as much per
pound as our fresh mGclcrel and con-
siderably more than haddock is thrown
away by our fishermen because no one
wants to eat it. Yet those who eat it
praise it for its delicate flavor. Even
the English like it. Every year they
consume 5000 tons of it. Yet we will
have none of it.
This fish is known as the goosefish.
anglerfish, devilfish and monkfish.
True, its appearance is against it. but
still the epicures in Iblgland and Ger
many demand it because it is delicious.
Analyses made by the bureau of fish
cries on samples show that goosefish
contains considerably more protein
than founder, slightly more than cod.
a little less than .halibut and consider
ably less than sirloin steak.
The goosefish has an average length
of three feet and is broad and fiat,
somewhat resembling the founder in
general outline. The only way to get
it, says a Philadelphia woman, is for
the housewives to club together and
demand it. At the present time fisher
men do not take the trouble to bring it
home, but discard it from their nets

Growing Grapes.

Grapes will grow almost anywhere
and are sure to bear Grapes can be
trained on trellises close to fences or
to outbuildings. Spring is the best
time to plant, using either one or two
year old vines. Frequently cultivation
during summer will improve the fruit
Wood ashes make good fertilizer
for grapes, and half bushel to the
vine will not be too much.
No pruning will be required the first
season, but the second season cut back
the strongest canes to three or four
buds and remove all others.

Tho Pulse Beat.

The readiest and toughest estimate
Of time is the pulse beat. 1t is sad to
know that the human pulse beat is not
exactly sixty to the minute. That is
one of the faulty disarrangements Of
life. But it comes pretty close. And
the rough and ready calculator OF the
time between the fash of lightning
and the thunder depends on his pulse
when he cannot see his watch. To the
ordinary man second is pulse beat.

Fuel Supply Better,
Excepting Anthracite

At meeting of the district chair
men Of the Federal Fuel Administra-
ton for North Dakota held in Fargo
Wednesday, Nov. %, the order which
went into effect at midnight Nov. %,
was modified so that dealers can sell
all fuel except anthracite coal, coke or
hriQuettes in quantities up to a rea-
sonable two months supply Hard
coal, coke and briquettes must still
be sold in lots not exceeding one
thousand pounds. That part of the
order affecting the accumulation of
more than the reasonable require
ments of coal for two months is still
in force.
The supply of soft coal at the head
of the lakes is much larger than the
supply Of hard coal. The man who
has heating equipment suitable for the
burning of soft coal should burn this
class of coal and let the man with the
hard. coal base-burning stoves have
what hard coal the district will be for
tunate enough to secure.
The situation is a serious one and
the dealers must cooperate with tine
fuel administration in the distribut-
ing of the anthracite coal so that it
will reach the people who will suffer
in case they can not get it. All
householders with furnaces should
buy soft coal from now on.
Dealers are advised to stock up on
b;tuminous coal as rapidly as possible.
