Bio Saving of Meat.

'The soldiers at Fort Harrison are
going to do some feeding" said T. M
Conron, Chicago meat packer, who was
at the Hotel SEVERN recently, accord.
ing to the Indianapolis News.
Conron had in his pocket contract
to send to the fort 175,OOO pounds of
meat. The contract also called for s.
600 pounds of butter and 5000 pounds
of best oleomargarine. Conron says
that meat packers are encouraging the
public to set aside meatless day. He
estimates that the average family will
require two pounds of meat day.
Figure it up" he said, land you will
find that the American public will save
in the neighborhood of 100000
pounds of meat every time they OBJ
serve meatless day."

sued by Government.

Havre, Oct. S.-The Belgium govern
ment has issued a gray book to refute
allegations against Belgium civilians
contained in the German white book

Theory That Doesn't Work.

A great social truth, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger, was enunciated by
the janitor of a New York apartment
house, who had lost his job, he ex-
planned by his wife's jealousy of the
elevator girls he had employed and
was being sued by her for nonsupport.
"Girls are girls" said this shrewd OBJ
server, land you have to pay more at
tention to them than you do to men"
The theory that women who go into
business should be treated "just like
men, is held by many, especially by
the women themselves. It is an excel
lent theory, but it does not always
work.

To Make a Cheap Filter.

In order to make a cheap filter, take
a large flower pot and stop the hole in
the bottom of it by placing piece of
sponge in it. Cover with few inches
of powdered charcoal, fill with water,
and let it stand over a pail or tub
supported by two or three sticks laid
across. The water f1ltering through
the charcoal will be freed from all
IMPURITIES and will be fit for family
use. The charcoal should be changed
every three months and the sponge
several times q year.

ADAM SPRUNG FIRST JOKE
Asked Eve If She Expected an Ich-
thyosaurus, When She Objected
to Spider on Rose.

We believe that in the Garden of
Eden, Adam gave Eve a rose in ex-
change for kiss And she shuddered
and said, ugh! There's spider on
the rose!" And he answered, "Well,
what do you expect for one stingy lit
tie kiss-an ichthyosaurus?
We believe that to be the oldest joke
in the world-older than the goat, the
mother-in-law, or any that are sup
posed to be included in the Original
Seven. In varying forms one finds it
in the Talmud, in Plautus, in Aesop,
in Rabelais, in Joe Miller, in all the
almanacs and comic papers.
When we were boy, it was told in
a minstrel show, thus: A man buys
suit of clothes at a secondhand store.
He comes back and complains that the
coat is inhabited by unpleasant insects.
And the dealer says, swell, what do
you expect for Swimming birds"
Vaudeville knows it in this form
Tenant-'sLook here, you'll have to
make some repairs in this house. The

And just last week we ran across
our old friend again in weekly comic
paper. This time passenger on a
street car calls down the conductor for
not calling the names Of the streets
distinctly. And the conductor replies,
"Well, what do you expect for $14 a
wnnIy-a Tenor SOIO2"
Lastly-a few days ago, we ran a
version of the old thing in this column.
We cut it's hair trimmed it's whiskers,
and fitted it with a new suit, but we
could not disguise it completely. When
you run across it in any of it's cos
tunes, send us clipping, will you?
We are making a collection of that
joke.

Talks of Past, Present and Future.
Col Harris discussed the past present
and future of Washington and showed
many interesting views of the city during
its early stages, its present and the plans
for the future. He said that where the
plans adopted by Maj L'Enfant had been
followed the development of the city
had been symmetrical. and where they
had been abandoned mistakes had been
made which have since been recognized
as mistakes. An instance of this, he
said. was the location of the Treasury
building by Andrew Jackson. Jackson he
said, employed an architect to select a
site for the Treasury and when the
architect did not make n report as soon
as he desired. Jackson stuck his cane in
