"THE LAW OF INCREASE,

A very excellent sermon was given
in the union service in the Episcopal
Church last evening on "The Law of
Increase" by DR.. John Barbour. He
very truthfully said that people gen.
orally recognize this law in the busi-
ness and educational world and agree
that 1t Is proper. But as soon as that
law of loosing ones life that he may
find 1t, Is applied to christianity there
are those who look upon the law as
puritanical and narrow. This law OF
denying ones self pleasures for the
sake of others is the way to happi-
ness, Righteousness and fame.
The service tonight is in the Gen.
trail Presbyterian Church and on Sun
day afternoon in the Christian Church
The count last night showed the
following: M. E., South, 4; M. E., 9;
Presbyterian, II; Baptist, 10; Chris.
tian, II; Episcopal, IS; Central Pres.

men already in service and make

some soldier or workman who really
needs 1t will have to go without. 1t
may seem a trifing thing for me to
cut out meat on my family table on
Mondays and Fridays, but it would
not be trifing if 100000 families
should join us"
Meat bones can be put to good use
In the family kitchen these days. An
English scientist says:
"One-third of the weight of dry
bone consists of nitrogenous matter,
which when extracted could be used
as food. There is a much larger
proportion than is found in bread or
meat. 1t 10 desirable to grind the
bone before boiling it. The marrow
is very valuable both as fat and for
its agreeable favor, and may be
roughly reckoned as equal in nutri-
ment to half its weight in butter"
Many kinds of soup can be made
by the use of bone and vegetables,
and the same bone can be used three
times with good results. 4
If any one believes household econ
omies and the food situation in
America are not worthy the clos
est attention of every citizen,
he should bear in mind that the gem
eral food production of tho United
States has only increased l per cent
in ten years, while the population
has increased q per cent. The an
nual wheat production has decreased
IS per cent, corn is III less than
ten years ago and last year was 5.8
per cent less than the average for the
ten years.

.Surrendermg Germans
Believe Death Awaits Them
By Henry Wood

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the French Armies, May 10
(By mail)-Onc Of the "imperative
military necessities for the Incredible
devastation and destruction being
wrought by the Germans along the
pathway of their retreat in France is
to convince the German soldiers them
selves that if they either desert or
surrender to the French they will be
instantly shot in reprisal
German soldiers now being taken
prisoners by the French along the EN-
tire front between the Aisne and Saint
Quentin declare without exception to
their captors that they realize they are
going to be shot and are quite prepared
for it.
While the Germans manifcstly have
various aims in view in their systematic
policy of reducing every inch OF French
soil occupied by them to wasteIeSS
desert, the French military authorities
have been able to establish definitely
from the German prisoners captured
that not the least of these objects is TO
inject the morale of desperation into
| the German army,
The latter are told not only that the$
will be instantly killed if they ran
into the hands of the French, but thai
unless they fight to the death in al
effort to keep the allied troops from
reaching German soil their own homes
farms and villages will quite naturally
suffer the same fate by way of reprlsa
that they have inflicted ON the homes
