WHAT TO EAT IN WAR TIME

King Fat is the monarch who will
decide the war!
Emperors and their henchmen, with
all their ostentatious trappings, do
homage. with their encourages. to II.
NJ. Fat.
Throughout the erman Empire it
is a prime offense against the COM
mune to fry food. 1t is all boiled and
stewel Every ounce OF grease is
treasured. Soap, in the central coun-
tries, has become luxury OF the
wealthy. Candles have disappeared.
The population has long since eaten
| it's fats; everything from cold cream
to axle grease has been reduced to
an edible basis. The people live in
CHASTITY misery. not starving, for their
scientists have evolved a diet which
supplies the requisite number of cal
cries daily; but, nevertheless. a grind
ing, memorable existence is fraying
them to the danger limit--some day
they will break. 1t is only matter
of time King Fat DEGREES il.
Among fats" are included vege-
table as well rs animal foods-solid
fats and oils.
All fats yield energy. They are
relatively scarce and expensive. a
. given weight OF fat yields two and
one.fourth times as much energy a
the same weight of protein or car
: bohy (sugar and starch). Fla
I also delays the occurrence Of hunger
} after eating The German people arr
e always hungry; they are sinking ant
sitting. For every measure of gly
cerine, a fat product used in eXplo
sives, the German people suffer TN
told anguish.
= To win we must not stint ourselve
on those fats containing the growtl
producing elements. Yet we mus
save on them by utilizing them nue.
more fully than heretofore.
Since cooking apparently does nc
destroy the properties of the ia
soluble substance containing in gree
plants, the use of green's is recon
= mepded, as are household canning an
drying. The use of larger duantitiC
of green leaves as salad is also higl
ly desirable.
While adults usually may decreas
their fat allowance, it would not b
done with growing children. Ever

NATIONAL CAPITAL NOT
AS DRY AS MANY THINK
BY Lewis Wood

WASHINGTON. Dec. Slow long
will the District of Columbia have
the privilege of being wet although
dry?
The District is not really wet. In
fact, by law 1t is dry. But Balti-
more is but an hour away, and the
Maryland line is not more than FIVE
miles from the capital in some places.
And, unlike other dry sections. it is
not against the law to import liquor
into the District.
This condition has excited the ire
and jealousy OF many of the states
which are now deprived entirely Of
the opportunity of having whiskey
and beer shipped past their borders
Citizens OF those states are bringing
pressure to bear upon their congress
men to have the District Of Columbia
shown no favoritism. II Is freely pre-
dicted that inside of two or three
months-perhaps sooner-the District
will be on the same footing as the
states which are now entirely dry.
II is tho Reed bone.dry law which
prevents the importation of alcoholic
liquors into the dry territory. Be-
fore this law was passed. many OF
the already dry states allowed the
importation of various amounts, per
haps a quart. perhaps gallon per
months. But the Reed law says that
no liquor shall be sent into states
already dry.
When the law was passed the Dis
trict OF Columbia wa not mentioned
in the bill. Invariably the legal
phraseology includes the states land
the District Of Columbia" which lat
ter is a thing unto Itself. But, as
said. this particular bill omitted
mention of the District.
Various reasons have been assigned
for this omission. There have beer
open suggestions that Representative,
and Senators did not wish to be dc
prived OF their Ticker" Another rea

RAPS PROPOSED
RAISE. IN TAXES

Former Gov Edward Scoffield, who
was chief executive of = t state cur
ing the Spanish-American war, when
the cost of conducting affairs of Wis
consin were supposed to be increased
but were not, is of the opinion that
the plan of Assembly Hart to raise
huge war fund by doubling state in
come taxes borders on hysterical legis-
lauion.
81 managed the Spanish American
war affairs of Wisconsin without a
cent of additional expense" he said
on Tuesday while in Milwaukee "War
is national proposition, not an affair
of the state, and every cent of expense
will be paid by the federal government
The national government refunded US
even the cost of kilograms.
"There is always certain amount
of hysteria which breaks loose when
the country is plunged into war, but
this must not be permitted t. take
the form of additional taxation as Is
:
proposed by certain legislators. Rails
ing unnecessary taxes always creates
unnecessary expenditures, and | hope
the legislature will go slow on tax bills.
Money should not be raised for state
war expenses until necessary.
The Legislators can finish up its
regular work and go home. fla special
session is needed to raise money for
war, Gov. Phillip can be trustee TO
cal the Legislators together again, but
/ can not see where a cent is needed at
the present time for war expenses.
"National taxation is burdensome
without adding in the form of state
taxes.

Clean Up and Paint Up

1t is now time o "clean up and paint
up" And while we are about it let's
cleau up, paint up, and stay up. To
spend few hours and few dollars on
your yard AND property this spring and
then forget all about it for the next
five years TO come is the poorest kind
of economy. 1t is even first class eX-
travagance. for ii moment a piece of
property becomes rusty" deterioration
rapidly sets III and rushes right on to
destruction few dollars and a little
labor in periodical improvements is the
best interest you can get on your in
vestment And what is good for you
is equally good for the town, the coun-
ty and the state.

POINTS FOR LAND
CLEARERS

+. Local parties have received hand
some and effective poster bulletin,
describing methods of pulling and dis
posing of stumps, from the agricul-
tural experiment station of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
The poster is illustrated and the
printed matter is forceful and clear.
The suggestions will be of great value
to land clearers. The printed matter
follows:
Stock will kill the small brush and
keep the sprouts down. Slashirg is
made easier. the stumps rot faster, and
an income obtained before stumps are
out Divide range into small fields and
pasture them in rotation.
Drag cutover land with a spring
toothed harrow and SOW with hay or
pasture mixture Hardwood stumps
decay in few years so that their re-
moval is much easier Use the land
while the stumps are rotting.
They will pull the old stumps easily
and quickly when equipt with up-to-
date, labor saving devices which les
sen the labor and cost ofstumping.
After pulling the stump, small guam
/ titles Of lnw Grade dynamite placed a
gainst the crown Of tae stump will
break it in pieces, shake the dirt from
the roots, lessen labor Of piling and
make burning more complete.
| A home made, horsepower stump
piIer will pile stumps higher, faster, and
easier than is possible with team and

Don't poke about misfred hole dur

| Don't thaw frozen dynnmite in an
oven, before an open fire or in hot
water Use dynamite thawer.
Don't jar, rub or "fool'' with blast

A Million Back Yards.

What of your back yard? Is it lit
tered up with refuse, or abandoned
with weeds?
Plow it up and plant potatoes or
other foodstuffs. 1t may yield only a
dozen bushels or so, and as only one
back yard its effect upon the national
yield would be but an atom
But if a million back yards were
thus titled, THINK OF THE RESULTi
Twelve million bushelsor more of po-
tatoes or other foods from back yards
alone!
And every available foot of ground,
wherever found, should receive the
same attention.

appealing to you personally. Let US
of this community answer it with in

SAN SALVADOR IN RUINS
WITH SIX CITIES, DUE
TO AN EARTHQUAKE
Continued from First PageD

Minister'S despatch as being known
at that hour.
1t is quite possible that further vol
canic eruption. following the earth
quake might have wrought greater
damage after the sending OF his de-
spatch.
The seismograph at Georgetown
University early to-day recorded
Severe" earthquake shocks, presum-
ably at "a distance OF 1000 miles from
here. The disturbance began at 7.57
last night and lasted until s.25. The
maximum tremors were reached
about 500.
The city OF San Salvador had a
population OF 59.5H at the last CEN
sus. 1t is situated on a small stream
which flows into the Pacific Ocean
and was founded in 1925, being only
three miles distant from the volcano
OF the same name.
The city contains a national uni
versity, the national palace, a cath
edral, national library. botanical gar
dens and lisa centre Of the indigo
trade.
San Salvador was greatly damag ged
by earthquakes in 1854, 1872 and 1879.
The volcano has not been dormant
for years Always a red beacon at
night, its irregular flashes from quar-
ter OF an hour to an hour apart have
lighted mp the sea for miles. These
flashes have been at times acpompa-
MED by a low rumbllng, but there
has been so little accompanying vi
bratlon since the west side OF the
mountain blew of and made a vent
for the subterranean gases in 1879
that the natives had ceased TO regard
the volcano as dangerous.

new AAAESTHETIC FOUND
SUCCESS ON BATTLEFIELD
Invention of Californian, Rejected
by American Medical Men,
Described to Rotary Club.


A new anaesthetic, hitherto given
no publicity, was to-day announced
to members OF the Rotary Club by
Henry c. Quinby. a member OF the
American Defense Society and a New
York lawyer. The anaesthetlc. the
members were told. is called Nikal-
gen and is the invention OF San
francisco lawyer Gordon Edwards.
Mr.. ouinby declared the anaes-
thetic, which is a germiclde. has
created a great sensation on the
European battlefield.
When Edwards found that the med
zeal world declined to take seriously
his invention, said Mr.. Quinby. ne an
pealed to Miss Morgan, daughter OF
the late j. +. Morgan, and she Of
fered the inventor a chance to study
ana perfect his anaesthetlc, ptfaran-
teelng him all expenses for two years.
Reading from a letter, which ar
rived here yesterday from the Cali
fornia lawyer. MIR. Quinby showed
that Edwards is theonly civilian who
has been permitted in the first dress
ing stations Of the French battlefelds.
He also described how the Queen OF
the Belgians who has been dressing
the wounds OF soldiers in the hospi-
tails, used the anaesthetic on the
wounded.

ties OF the invention were such that
