GRATTA4 GPANGE PLAN
HOME COMING MEETING

Grattan Grange met last Thursday
evening and gave the fourth degree.
About fifty members were present.
We found it impossible to make a
date with State Master Ketcham for
homecoming in January, so it was
thought best by the majority to go
on with our homecoming without
him, and perhaps get him here for
Pomona at some later date. Accord
ingly the date was set for Saturday,
January 81, and we would very much
like to see all the old faces with US
at that time. A chicken pie dinner,
good program, and several lively
"darkies" are among the attractions.
For the next Grange-Thursday
January 25-we wish all to come pre-
pared to tell of "The Mistakes ] Made
Last Year, and How / Propose to
Avoid Them in the Future"
A goodly number from Grattan
Grange were royalty entertained by
the Bedding patrons last Saturday
with dinner fit for the Goods"
social intercourse and good fellowship.
We consider this visiting among
neighboring Oranges the finest thing
ever-to promote enthusiasm.

Cassopolis.-Sheriff Harry Hogue,
who took the oath of Office in Berrien
county on January /, started right in
to do business the first day and let
the bootleggers and blind pig opera
tors know that he intends to enforce
the law. He celebrated his inaugu-
ration into Office by making raid on
a st. Josehh blind pig and arrested
four men. After satisfying himself
that Lawrence Murname was the one
guilty of having made the sales he
released the others, and in doing SO
said: IL have only one stand on the
liquor question. The people of this
county and of this state have said
that there shall be no@booze sold and
that is enough for me. do not play
both ends against the middle and /
will enforce the law in this regard if
/ have to arrest the best friend have.
Every local option violator will be
arrested, and / warn you three men
and every citizen of Berrien county
that no excuses will go. Arrests will
follow every indication of violation
of this nature"
Berrien county is fortunate in hav-
ing elected a sheriff of Mr.. Hogue's
type. Wish there were more of them
in Michigan. Submitted.

Grange Will Aid tuberculosis

Lansing, Jan. 15.-In its fight
gainst tuberculosis during 1917 the
state board of health will have the
active support of the Michigan State
Grange, according to Mrs. Burr b.
Lincoln of Harbor Beach, chairman
of the public health committee Of the
grange the past year. Not only did
the state grange endorse the state
tuberculosis survey at its recent con-
vention, but Mrs. Lincoln predicts
that its resolution of endorsement
will be followed by definite action the
coming year.
According to those interested in the
tuberculosis survey, the oranges of
the states have never had better OPP
portunity than they will have in 1917
to make their influence felt in ad-
vancing public health in Michigan. In
some eighteen counties the question
of building county sanitariums is
coming up, and in many others the
question of health organization. Ex-
perience has shown that frequently it
is the rural districts that greatest OPP
position is encountered to such mea-
sures, and the oranges of the state,
by making public health a prominent
part of their work the coming year,
can do great deal, it is pointed out,
to help along the public health mea-
sures.
At the recent meeting Of the State
Grange at Lansing, Mrs Lincoln's
committee offered resolutions to this
effect which were adopted and this
line of action was recommended.

SC0TCHmAN PLACES
MICE AT REAL WORK
Invention Used Muscular Power of
Little Animal to Spin
Thread

Elephants, horses and camels were
long ago subjugated and put to work
helping man perform his tasks and
various other animals, including the
OK, the dog, etc., have been similarly
employed. One is not surprised at
this for man is lazy creature and is
always on the lookout for something
that will enable him to- get along with
as little muscular eXertion as possible.
Despite this natural laziness, how
ever, you would hardly expect anyone,
outside some highly imaginative fairy
story, to attempt TO make mice shout
der any part of a mans burdens. A
canny, ingenious Scotchman named
Hutton once made such an attempt,
though, and he succeeded in making
these little animals perform real
work.
While inspecting some toys made
by French prisoners at Perth he saw
little toy house with a window in
the gable that kept whirling around
and around. Upon closer examina-
tion he found that this wheel was
kept going by a common mouse. He
bought the toy and then began cast
ing around for some way to apply
the houses power Ga mouse weighs
about half an ounce) to some useful
work He finally decided on the
Of sewing thread.
He found that about half a cents
worth of oatmeal was sufficient food
for a mouse for five weeks during
which time it would run total of 362
miles. He found that an ordinary
mouse would run an average of 10
and half miles a day-one made the
distance of Is miles in that
time. Thread mills were constructed
to be operated by mouse power and
for a whole year two mice were kept
at work in mills of this kind making
sewing thread.
Each mouse's daily output was from
100 to 125 threads day and in doing
this work it had to run 10 and half
miles. Comparing the cost of main
tanning each mouse with the wages
that would have to be paid human
for doing an equal
amount of work it was found that
each mouse earned for its master a net
profit of about 50 cents a year.
Hutton planned to set up an es-
in which 10000 mouse
mills would be kept in operation,
with provisions for the keepers of the
and for the entertainment of
crowds of curious spectators but he
died before the unique project could
be carried out.

Friday, January 20, 1865.

Friday, January 20, 1865.
We were on the move again most
of the night. About two a: M, we
reached Cannelton, where the boats
stoned for coal, which took nearly
until morning. The day was pleas
ant and a little warm. The country
along the banks was more rough, and
in the afternoon we passed high hills
covered with rocks, and on the south
side thew were covered with ice and
snow. The boats made rather slow
progress as the coal is not very good.
Several boats passed, going down
stream. About shutdown we passed
Leavenworth, Indiana.
Saturday, January Fl, 1865.
This morning, at daylight, we found
ourselves at the lower end OF the
canal at Louisville, awaiting pass
age UP the channel, which we soon
did and pulled up alongside other
boats. We lay here an hour or more,
then proceeded on up the river, we
had been told that we would probably
stop at Louisville for few days, so
we were somewhat disappointed at
leaving so soon. We got our mall,
which revived our spirits to some ex-
tent. | received letter from nome;
With two boats dashed to our larboard
side, and in that way, three apreasI,
we ran most of the day. IL was
rainy and wet, making it disagreeable
out-of doors. We slept, read, ETC.,
most of the day. This afternoon the
shores of the river were high and
bluffy. covered with snow, and the
river was filled with floating ice, max
ing us think that we were getting
pretty well north. At 4:30 p. m,
the u. S. mail boat, General Lyttle,
passed US going up stream. Sne
scudded right by and was soon lost
from sight. 1t is $50 miles from Pu-
ducah to Louisville and $50 miles
from Louisville to Cincinnati. A fog
came up towards night, so that we
could not see to travel after dark, and
the boats were obliged to make for
the shore and lay up until it cleared
Sunday, January %, 1865.
We lay still all night. The fog Is
so thick we cannot see across the rlv-
err. but at seven o'clock we started on
again, making slow progress, how
ever. and at $3.50 reached Madison,
Indiana, where we layed by for an
hour or SO, when the fog raised and
we proceeded on. The weather was
rather drizzling at times, but it did
not rain hard, and was not very cold.
The river is full of slush ice and the
water is falling quite fast. The coun-
try around is billy and covered with
snow. About one p. m, we passed
Carrolton at the mouth of the Ken
tucy river. Read little today.
About nine or ten o'clock the boat
hitched up, not being able to proceed,
as it was too dark. We are about
80 miles from Cincinnati.

Talks on Thrift


Thrift and the High Cost Of Living
For the past few years one Of the
timely and important topics has been
have been increasing in cost with a
rapidity that has made readjustment
necessary in many lines, and only as
wages have kept pace with the in
crease in other things have we been
able to keep our financial ships off
the rocks. War conditions have not
helped the matter, for in spite of our
great prosperity the cost of living
still mounts up.
As individuals we are in large
measure helpless to remedy the diff
ficulty, for the causes are economic
and beyond our control; but we can
do much toward alleviating the re-
sulting ills. We cannot all be teach
ers of domestic science, but we can
all practice the art of good living.
We cannot change the price of beef
steak, but we can make better use
of our porterhouses. We can do some
solid thinking and apply thrift prin-
ciples to our kitchens and dining
rooms and offset in a very large
measure the added strain of high
prices.
The trouble with many homekeep-
ers is they take the easy way and
stay in a rut. They do not study
their jobs and like every one else
who does thoughtless work, do the
work poorly. For instance, in a large
boarding house, as in all such estab-
lishments, one of the principal items
of food is teaks and chops. Their
cost is high and the waste is large.
The landlady complains that she can
not make a living. But she doesn't
know how. Many of the guests are
fond of fish in various forms, yet the
menu seldom includes fish; and fish
are cheap. On single meal she
could save from three to five dollars
and please her guests immensely.
She might use cheaper cuts of meat
made up into appetizing forms. But
she sticks to her chops and steaks
and grumbles at the high cost of
running a boarding house. It's the
high cost Of ignorance that she ought
to blame.
We have been charged, times with
out number, with being a nation of
MASTERS. This waste takes the form
of household inefficiency more gen
orally than any other form.
More homes are wrecked from a
financial point of view, from the
waste of the kitchen, than any other
cause. If, as Doctor Wiley estim-
ates, one-third of our food is wasted,
thrift in food might be very effec-
tive remedy for some of our present
day domestic problems. With meats
costing thirty cents a pound, and
half bone and fat, eggs at five cents
each, butter fifty cents a pound, and
other things in proportion, we must
do some readjusting if we would keep
pace with the procession. You can
not increase your income half as easy
as you can make it go farther. You
need not do without porterhouse, but
you can make it go a long way.
Learn the secret of French thrift and
find the secret of little economies in
food values.
Your youngsters will relish a dish
of home baked beans as much as a
choice tenderloin They will grow
fat on spaghetti. They will have
fewer stomacc disorders on bread
and molasses than on candy and soda
and lobster salads. It's the appetite
that counts-not what satisfies it.
Go easy on the butter and take only
as much as you can use. Examine
your garbage can to see if your high

CANNED GOODS ORIGIN
DATES BACK 100 YEARS
Napoleon Offered Cash Prize That
Caused Discovery of Can
ming Methods

If we go back 100 years it will be
discovered that France was facing al
most the same problems that Ger
many is facing today, says a bulletin
of the National Geographic Society.
England's fleet blockaded Frances
ports then just as they blockade Ger
many's today and oversee foodstuffs
had little chance to reach the French.
How far this went and how great
an effect it had on conditions in Ma
poleon's empire is revealed by the fact
that the world is not sugar hungry to-
day is due to the steps taken by Ma
poleon to vercome the effect of the
blockade on sugar. Years before,
some Prussian scientists had been try
ing to get sugar from the beet, and,
under the patronage of the king of
Prussie, Frederick William III, sue
ceeded in their task.
Napoleon borrowed their ideas, set
up beet sugar factories around Lille,
and gave to the beet-sugar industry
that impetus which has resulted in its
development to a point where it
yields half of the worlds supply of
sugar.
The little corporal saw himself
seriously embarrassed in the matter
of food supplies for his army. He
wanted something for his men be-
sides things that were dried or smok-
ed-a desire that was enhanced by
his knowledge that millions Of dollars
in valuable but perishable foods were
wasted because of the lack of ade-
quate means of preserving them.
He therefore offered prize of ST.
400 to any one who would devise
practical method of preserving such
food stuffs. Such a method was
quickly evolved, and out of it has
grown the worlds canning industry
--one of the important steps that civ
ilization has taken in the direction
of insuring mankind against famine.

T.ronIo.r 1OCE

On board the Marmora,
Tennessee River,
Tuesday, January II, 1866.
l slept quite while, but just as
day was breaking in the east heard
the whistle of the boats and the cry
along the shore of call aboard"
which aroused US from our slumbcrs,
and although it was bitterly cold, we
crawled out to see the boats get under
way. Our boat, the Marmora, was
brought along side the Havana, both
stern-wheelers, and a coal barge
loaded with two batteries, horses. etc,
put between them and the three lash
ed together, and in that manner we
steamed away down the Tennessee
river: II was about $50 miles to the
mouth of the river. We managed to
make a pot Of coffee around the en-
CINE. after a while, and ate crackers
and coffee with a little raw meat,
for breakfast. After breakfast /
