Benefits of Volunteers.


In letters to men who will .appar-
emily be in the next call for army
service, recruiting officers are point
ing out the benefits that may be de-
rived from volunteer enlistment be-
fore the call. They mention that the
volunteer will have his choice of ser
vice in infantry, field artillery, med
ical department, quartermaster de-
partment, ordnance corps, telegraph
operators, cooks and bakers and men
desiring to become cooks and bakers
Anyone interested should report to
his nearest recruiting office in per-
son, taking his registration card, Sc
rial number and a statement from his
board showing he has not been or
dered to report for examination. In
lieu of the statement he may make
affidavit that to his knowledge he
has not been ordered to appear.
Use of Gull Potatoes.
The use of Gull potatoes for silage
is an innovation in the food conser-
walton prograf introduced by the
public information division of the de-
partment of agriculture. The re-
suits of thorough tests of potato 81
lage, showing it's value as compared
to corn, establishes the fact that poor
grades may be thus converted into
their most useful form. Sorting out
the culls enhances the value of the
better grades.
Washington Warehouse Fire Patrol
The public service commission OF
the state of Washington now permits
warehousemen to fix an additional
storage charge to defray expenses OF
fire guards, under direction of the
county councils for patriotic service
The warehouseman keeps no part
of this extra charge, turning it al

proved a backset to many communi-
ties. The mills attribute this decision
to a slump in the lumber market.
The outlook for a renewal of the
price advance movement is regarded
as likely to materialize. The an
nounced price of wheat above the SO
mark to the producer, the strong up
ward trend in meat products and the
shortage in canned goods pack for the
Northwest are all significant as indi-
eating that the high cost of living will
be a pronounced factor in foodstuffs
trade.
Provisions.
Butter-Market has reached record
level for the season at 47c. Production
of Washington creamery butter is es-
timated at about so per cent of the nor
NAL August, partly due to the drying
up of pasturage, but the situation be-
ing affected most pronouncedly by the
fact that condenseries have been in
vading new territory, and are naming
prices for milk that butter manufac-
turers cannot afford to pay.
Eggs-Are somewhat variable, rang
ing up to 47c at the top, with sales
down as low as 44c. Alreday storage
stocks are being drawn upon to some
extent, and offerings are holding al
41c.
Dressed Meats-Meats of all kinds
have taken an added upward impetus
Hogs passed the zoe mark on the hoo
and fresh pork prices shot up to ..t
at the top. Beef has been compare
lively steady, with prime steer bee
a trifle easier Mutton is also shaded
Lard and Cured Meats-Hams an(
bacon have made advances. The acute
situation in live hogs and running

pains they had already suffered were
not punishment enough.
And through the evil advice Of
their faithless allies If they find for
themselves some reason for thus ILL
treating their victims and their VIC

rob them Of their belongings and

from perishing by starvation?
What stronger proofs of their in

garded and venerated by all true

The soldiers Of the Young Turks
shelled this House of God. The first
shell struck a yard and half above
the Sacred Blackstone. The second
fell only three yards short Of it, and
the flames spread up until Kiswa was
covered with fire. When thousands
and thousands of Moslems, who had
gathered in the yards of the House
of God, saw the Flames leap up and
cover the sacred Kiswa, they raised
mourning cry, weaping loudly, run
ming hither and thither; then they all,
as one man, shouted in fierce anger;
and they rushed to save it. They had
to burst open the. door and mount
upon the roof before they could put
down the flames.
Still a third shell fell upon the
tomb of Abraham, and other shells
fell in and about the precincts, which
they made target for their guns,
each day killing three or four wor-
shippers who were at prayer within
the Djaamy (Mosque), until they had
stopped every faithful from coming
near the House of God. But leave

DYNASTY IN ENGLAND.

That George v. now sits on the
throne Of England is due in no small
measure to the prognosis of an
eighteenth century physician, DR.. Rich
ard Mead, who was born in London
244 years ago today, Aug. II, 1878.
When Queen Anne, last Of the Stuarts,
was seized with a. fatal illness a little
over two centuries ago, in TIA. DR..
Mead was ca.lld in consultation. After
an examination Of tn stricken queen
he found that she was near deaths
door, and the doctor so informed the
leaders of the Wing party, with which
he was affiliated. The Wings favored
the Hanovarian succession, and i'm
mediately on learning that Anne was
soon to succumb. began to plan for
the realization of their dynastic am
billions. The regular physicians of
the queen did not believe that she
was so near to death, so when Anne
ibreathed her last in TIA, the support
ers Of Anne's brother, James, were all
! unprepared. Anne's Tory ministry
was in favor Of placing James on the
! throne, but the Wings, thanks to DR..
! Mead, had already taken such action
as to insure the succession Of the
! Elector of Hanover and ip, Septem-
Der Gorge I. made his triumphal
entry into England. DR.. Mead was
rewarded by being made physician to
! the new royal family. Many English
historians have attributed large impor-
! bringing about the succession of the
royal house which has ruled England
1 for two centuries.
/ DIR. Mead was the most progressive,
and the wealthiest, of the physicians
! of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries and medical science owes
him a great debt. Although he gave
his services free to the poor, the
| clergy and the literary workers, he
charged large fees when his patients
we're possessed of means, and as he
| was recognized as the foremost med
r1cal man of his time, he had an av-
erage income from his practice OF
4 $4,000. This was considered a ire
mendous sum in those days-and
many doctors Of the present would
not sneeze at such an income, nor
for that matter, would millions OF
men in other walks of life. He lived
in lavish style, often calling on his
patients in a coach and six, and al
his town and country mansions he en-.
tertained the greatest celebrities Of
the day.
Mead were many and varied. In hi
youth he believed that the venom o.
serpents would prove useful for GER
tain diseases and he risked his life
many times in handling deadl!
snakes. He was largely instrumental
in promoting innoculation for tn,
smallpox.
Dr. Mead fought several duels, blu
escaped uninjured and died at th'
ripe old age of 80. 1t Is rele-ted tina
in a duel he fought with a DR.. Wood
ward, the latter slipped and fell, ant
was at Mead's mercy. Take you
life," said the magnanimous Mead
Anything but your physic," was TIL

Hot Wave Puts z
Storrs Hens 400
Behind the Record

Last weeks hot wave cost the lay
ing contest at Storrs just 400 eggs.
The corresponding week last year the
hens actually gained a little whereas
in the 10th week Of the present con-
proximately $500 to 1880 eggs.
Three pens Of Leghorns were in the
first three places for the week. The
William L. Gilbert Home pen from
Winsted was first with yield Of 81
eggs. +. M. Peasley's pen from
Cheshire, was a very. close second
with So eggs while the pen entered
by M. J. Quackenbush, Nutley, N. j..
came in for third place with 81 eggs
to their credit. The three monthly
prizes for July were all awarded to
the Leghorn pens. The blue ribbon
or first prize goes to the Windsweep
Farm, Redding Rioge. The second
prize ribbon for the month was won
by F. M. Peasley's birds from Chesh-
ire, and the third prize ribbon was
awarded to A. P. Robinson, Calverton,
N. Y.
Poultry people have lately talked
more about the high price Of feed
than any other one thing. This, how
ever, is a disturbing factor only when
the hens do not lay. In the contest,
each pen of ten birds averaged to
lay, during July, IA IA dozen eggs
that sold for an average price OF
AZ 1-2 cents a dozen. This means
that the gross income from each per
from the sale of eggs amounted to
$6.05 whereas each pen averaged tc
tconsume II lbs. of feed worth about
$500 at the present market price.
