Ole Exchange Table

Treason masquerades through the
country in a dozen different forms
Some of it is disguised as Sim Fein
propaganda, some as socialist, some as

it is essentially German All of it's
champions are doing the kaiser's work.
Their reasonable demonstrations are
conducted in public meetings, in news
papers, in circulars and in a general
campaign against the war policies of
the United States, without interior

the federal authorities.

Never Pays to Foozle
On Dining Room Stunts
BY GEORGE MARTIN

NASHINGTON-S time or other
while you are at camp, you're going
to be drafted for months duty as
dining room orderly.
And woe be unto you if you muff
your job. The mess sergeant, that
monarch of the mess hall crowned
with a white cap, will be good to you
as long as you're good to your job.
But if you funk it, o Boy!
So, for your advance information,
here is list of your duties:
YYour boss is the mess sergeant.
You are held responsible for the clean
illness of the dining room, pantry, the
dishes and utensils.
When You are the Goat
If plate, a spoon, a cup or what
soever, is lost or broken, and you
can't find it or name the man who is to
blame for it, you're the goat. Upon
being relieved at the end of your
months duty, all loss and breakage
unaccounted for is charged out of your
pay.
You've got to be at the mess hall not
less than 10 minutes before each meal.
Then you cut the bread into thin
slices and pile it neatly on plates,
one of which is provided for each ia
BILE
During the service of the meal, you
stay in the bread room and cut bread, |
handing it out to the walters as they |
call for it. And If you're wise, you'll |
stay there and cut bread, nothing else.
Be mighty careful how you cut it
along toward the end of the meal, too.
If you cut more than the men can
eat, and lot is left over, you'll hear
rom the mess sergeant in no uncer-
ain terms.
Keep a Close Check
After the meal has been served,

check up on every mans utensils
then take all the food left on the serv-
ing trays back to the kitchen. What
ever bread is left over in slices, you
pack closely in the bread box and
serve first at the next meal
And don't throw away the bread
crumbs that accumulate in the bread
room and the pantry. Turn them over
to the cooks. They can use them.
Then you help boss the cooks po-
lice clear the tables in the dining room
Next you brush the tables. Then you
scrub them good with hot water and
soap, rinse them in cold water, and
dry them.
Then you clean the saltcellars, pep
per boxes, vinegar cruets, mustard
pots and sugar bowls and fill them for
the next meal.
After breakfast you place the
stools on the tables, legs up. Then
you sweep and mop the dining room
floor, using as little water as posi-
BILE, for the sake of avoiding sloppi-
ness, and carefully dry it.
After dinner and supper. in addi-
ton to the aforementioned things, you
sweep the dining room carefully. AS
soon as the floor is swept OF swept
and scrubbed, you set the tables, put
the stools in place and make the din
ing room as clean and neat looking as
possible.
That's the job If you do it right,
you will be commended. If you do it
wrong you will be made to do it right

for century the less gratifying to all
Americans that civilization acknowledges this leader

By the common consent of the nations opposing Ger
many and her allies President Wilson has to be
looked upon as the spokesman for humanity In the
struggle And President Wilson speaks with authority
and force because voices the settled convictions of
the American people. His reply to Pope Benedict is
merciess indictment of the ruling class in Germany,
and as such finds echo in the heart of man
who loves his kind in this any other country Pres

ALL ENEMIES MEET IN BERNIE
Streets Are Thronged With Thousands
of Men Who Have Been Interned-
Must Wear Uniforms.

At any time Of the day in the Swiss
capital one sees the uniforms of both
sides on the streets, for there are thou
sands of French, British, German and
Belgians informed in Switzerland, and
according to the rules of the game,
they must wear their uniforms, in or
der to make the breaking Of parole
harder, writes Will Irwin in the Sat
urday Evening Post.
My first sight of a German Fritz
dumping down the streets in his neu-
trail green uniform and his stout mill
tary boots gave me kind of shock
Of surprise. 1t is three years now,
Since-in Belgium last beheld free
man in a German uniform. Today I
saw dozens Of men in French uniform
pass other dozens in German uniform.
Each party to these meetings would
look straight ahead, pretending he had
not noticed.
For the benefit Of the entente peO-
pies the shops are displaying such
signs as these: "Swiss Manufacture"
"Same Composition as -, the Ger
man Preparation, Out of Strictly Swiss
Origin" "This Line Made of Swiss and
English Material" Knowingly to buy
German goods is the same cardinal sin
among the French, American and Eng
fish colonies here.

SCOURS IN YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result of Overlooking or
Use of UncIean UtensiIs-Best
to Reduce Feed.

ScOurS in our animals is generally
the result Of overlooking or feeding
from unclean troughs or buckets, or
from feeding food that Is stale Milk
fed to calves should either always be
sweet, or always be sour. If it is one
thing one time and the other the next,
1t will result in scours.
The buckets should be as carefully
scalded out as are the pals in which
the milking is done.
Musty or bin-burned grain should not
be fed, particularly to young animals.
When the calf gets too much milk
or the young pig gets too much feed,
we have scours, possibly thumps In
the pig.
The best remedy is to reduce the
amount Of feed, clean up the troughs
and buckets, and give a good dose OF
castor oil. Two ounces is a dose for a
cali, and from a teaspoonful to des-
sertspoonfuI to a growing pig, accord
Ing to its size.

"PiII Box" Defense.

The pill box" defense appeared in
the German lines some time this year,
says the Scientific American. The
'pill box is the British soldiers name
for a small, round, concrete block
house which contains German machine
gunners. The pill box" appears to
be the smallest of German concrete
defenses, some of which are nothing
short of fortresses in every sense of
the word.
The ''pill box strategy, which has
been offset by heavier allied gunfire,
comprises the use of shell holes, trees,
rocks and every other available shell
ter for machine gus instead Of the
old style rows of trenches. In other
words, there is a zone of defense"
The organization of this zone of de-
Tense is such that the aerial observ-
ers of the. allies cannot detect the in
dividual machine gun posts hence di-
rect hits by artillery become almost
impossible except by mere chance.

Jazz MUSIC. FOE OF BLUES
lieved, of Lot OF Noise Without
Rhyme or Reason.

Various descriptions of jazz music
have from time to time appeared, but
none seem to hit the mark exactly,
says connoiSSeur of this art. The
common impression is that it consists
of lot of peculiar and noisy sounds
without rhyme or reason. This is not
the case, however. 1t consists chiefly
of syncOpatiOn, peculiarly accentuated !;
variations byssone Of the instruments ;
improvisations by others, mingled with
odd sound effects. Through all this
the melody of the selections rendered
must be distinguishable at all times
tin can noises, beating the life out of
the drums, blasting by the brass in
struments is entirely unnecessary.
Contrasts between pianissimO and for
tissimo passages should be shown just
as much in jazz music as in the class
les.
Another wrong impression is that
jazz orchestras must consist of a GER
tain Instrumentation. This also is not
the case. The violin, cello, cornet, pi-
anO, or in fact, any legitimate instru-
ment, can be used. AS jazz music is
originally Ethiopian, the banjo and
saxopnone are used merely to lend ne
gro character to it.
The number of musicians that can
jazz properly is said to be SMALL be-
cause it really requires good must
clans, who must also be endowed with
the swing or knock of performing it..
Although many of the cafe and thea
ter OrchestraS are composed of good
musicians, those who can jasE are
scarce. On the other hand, many of
the self-styled jazz orchestras are mis-
representations, and cannot play the
Semiclassics or classics adequately
Some cannot perform it properly, and
to offset this, resort to noise and dis
cord in imitation thereof. The per-
centage of musicians who can do JUS
tice to the classics and also play jazz
is consequently even smaller. This
kind of orchestra is exceedingly
scarce.
Jazz music is rhythmic and inspir-
ing. 1t is declared the best antidOte
for the blues.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
