Meeting on Historic Battlefield Where They Fought Years Ago

Vicksburg, Miss, Oct. 16.-Veterans of the sixties, some who wore the blue and some who wore the gray, gathered here today for a four days reunion on the field where they met in battle more than half a century ago.
 Congress made an appropriation of $150,000 to cover the expense of the reunion which is held under the di- rection of the secretary of war "in- commenoration of a half century of peace and good fellowship" Legis-

SOAKING SCALL0PS
 LAW VIOLATION
Shippers Of Sea Food Not to Use
 Fresh Water

Washington, D. c. Oct 19.-With the opening of the scallop season, shippers of the sea food are being warned by officials in charge of the Food and Drugs Act that it is un- lawful to ship in interstate commerce scallops which have been soaked ill fresh water, whether the soaking is deliberate attempt to increase the volume and weight of the mollusks or whether it is only incidental to washing operations. Even leaving the aecallops in fresh water for 8 lew minutes as when they are shucked { Into a pail of water will almost in- evitably result in change in condi- ton which the food officials will hold Constitutes adulteration.
 The swelling of scallops during washing can be prevented easily, the omcials point out, by using for this purpose, clean, natural sea water of a brine made by dissolving to , 1-2 pounds of common salt in ten gallons l, of fresh water. Since washing is 1 essential, shuckers and shippers are advised by the officials enforcing the Food and Drugs Act to use only sea water known to be perfectly clean or the artificial brine. Those handling scallops are warned also to ] drain the mollusks carefully and con- 1 pletely after they are washed. The presence of a material amount of free 1 liquid is regarded by the officials as constituting adulteration.
 Soaking scallops has been w1de- spread practice in the past. Since the officials enforcing the Food and Drugs Act have taken up the matter, how , ever, warnings have been spread throughout the trade, and during the ' past two seasons numerous consign- ments of soaked scallops have been analysed, seized, and destroyed. Prose- cutions have been made in several cases and fines imposed; and other jcases doubtless will come to trial soon. It is believed that these seizures ] and prosecutions together With the warnings now being issued, will re- ! suit in materially improved condf- tons during the coming season.
 The officials in charge of enforce ment of the Food and Drugs Act do !, not conf1ne their activities to the is- suance of warnings and the making of seizures. Field inspectors advise and instruct shippers of scallops how to conduct their operations so as to comply with the law.

thing was moving. noticed that NO
matter what time I came around
would find tho former water boy hard
at work. never learned when he
slept.
Now, there seemed to be nothing
remarkable about this fellow except
his industry. The only way in which
he attracted attention was by working
longer hours and getting better results
than any one else. 1t was not long
before we needed an assistant super
intendent. The ex-water boy got the
Job. When we established our great
armor plate department there was not
the slightest difference Of opinion
among the partners as to who should
be manager. 1t was the youth with
the penchant for overtime service.
To-day that ex-water boy. Alva c.

pafy and very wealthy. His rise was
predicated on his willingness to work
as long as there was any work to be
done.
"If 4 young man entering industry
were to ask me for advice l would
say: Don't be afraid Of imperiling your
health by giving few extra hours
to tho company that pays you your
salary. Don't be reluctant about put
ting on overalls. Bare hands grip
success better than kid gloves. Be
thorough in all things. no matter how
small or distasteful. The man who
counts his hours and kicks about his
salary is self elected failure.

tant things that man expresses his
passion for perfection, yet they will

GIVING LIFE FOR PEACE.
How q Deadly Fsud Between Alaskan
Tribes Was Ended.


Ending a war Is always attended
with difficulties and perplexities. 1t is
interesting to recall the manner In
which two Alaskan tribes. the Stickeen
and the 6itkas. once settled such
matter. The late John Muir narrated
the facts. The bloody feud had lasted
all summer, for the parties were evenly
matched. and they were all likely to
strive in the winter because the wo-
men dared not 90 out to fish or pick
berries. But one day Stickeen chief
appeared between the camps and called
for parley. He said:
my people arc hungry. They dare
not 60 to the salmon streams or berry
fields for winter supplies. and II this
war goes on much longer most Of my
people will die of hunger. We have
fought long enough: let us have peace.
You brave Sitka warriors 60 home. and
we will 60 home. and We will all set
out to dry salmon and berries before IT
10 too late"
The Sitka chief replied:
"You may well say let us stop fght-
ing when you have had the best of 1t.
You have killed ten more of my tribe
than we have killed Of yours. Give US
the StIckeen men to balance our blood
account: then and not till then will we
make peace and go home"
"very WE'LL" replied the Stickeen
chief; "you know my rank. You know
that ! am worth ten common men and
more. Take me and make peace"
The offer was accepted. The chief
gave himself up and was shot down in
his tracks In sight Of both tribes. One
man died for many. and peace was re-
stored.-Christian Advocate.

The only difficulty encountered. thus
far in the experiments with the soya
bean has been in finding suitable SOL
vent to dissolve out any oil that may be
left in the meal before the leftover
portion is consigned to the cattle.
Naphtha has been found to be good,
but unless care is taken to remove all
traces of it from the meal the new fod-
der loses its value as a cattle food, for
the cattle refuse it on account of the
smell. Another chamical which has
been found to answer the purpose IS
try-chlorethylene. 1t is not offensive
in odor or poisonous. Yet dangerous
