SLOW LAND SALE

The Miller Land Corporation, Of
Morristown, Tenn, had charge of
the auction sale of the John w.
White farm, located at the end of
Sycamore street Thursday and al
though the farm had been SUBJ i-
vided into small tracts, it failed to
bring within $1,000 of what the

THE EGGLESS CAKE
High Cost of Living Reduced by
SeveaI Millions.

The prestige of the hen is being
curtailed in new and interesting
way. She lays billion or so for
the human race each year, and, I'M
der world war conditions, the price
of eggs per dozen to consumers had
approached a dollar in some parts
of the United States, and had
reached the prohibitive price of two
dollars or more in the belhgerent
countries. ,s
Therefore when the high cost of
living looms large in the public eye,
unusual Importance is attached to
the announcement of the best known
baking powder company in the
void that it has evolved ready
and practical way for the housewife
to save, in the aggregate, many mil
lions of dollars in household ex-
penses through the use of more Roy
al Baking Powder and less eggs.
Months of experimenting have
elected large number of recipes
for the making of home products
with fewer eggs, and these recipes
are being distributed gratis. 1t is
claimed that they prove conclu-
sively that the, baking powder saves
eggs-in some cakes about half the
cost of the cake is saved. In reci-
pes calling for the use of eggs the
number can be reduced and excel
lent results-healthful, appetizing
cakes, mullins, corn bread, etc
obtained by using small addition
al quantity, about teaspoonful of
Royal Baking Powder in place of
each egg omitted.
The acme, or top-nOtch achieve
ment in this connection is an egg
less, milkless, BUTTERFLIES cake that
is pronounced by all who have tast-
ed it to be delicious and wholesome.
Its appetizing quality, it is claimed,
will be surprising to the housewife
who tries it according to the recipe
given.
The idea of using more Royal
Baking Powder and less eggs in
baking is not entirely new, but the
elaborate enlarging and perfecting
of the idea just accomplished rem
dens it very present help, meeting
the necessities of the housewife of
moderate means in time of soar
ing food prices.
In the British Isles the news has
been received with enthusiasm. The
baking powder company, while not
being accused of being an out-and-
out philanthropist in the matter, is
pointed out as having provided a
means of effecting an enormous saw
ing in household affairs in a way
that benefits everybody and harms
nobody-except it be the pride of
the autocratic hen. The company
only completed its experiments re-
Gently, and already the announce
ments are being spread broadcast
in the newspapers, which, it will be
remembered many years ago made
the name of Royal Baking Powder
a household word all over the world.

AMERICAN TROOPS GET
INSTRUCTION IN CAS-
FIGHTING FROM BRITISH

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.-To give
Gen Pershing's army the last touch
in modern warfare a detachment OF
British officers has arrived in this
country and begun the instruction pf
forces here in the latest wrinkles in
gas and flame fighting. The work is
conducted with the closest sort of cen
sorship, but officials declare that
thousands of men are rapidly break
ing in and will be able to meet enc
my gas and flame attacks with a sim
liar offensive.
The army in this country has been
at the gas and flame work since Oc-
tober IS, but semi-official experiments
and practice have been going on all
summer Among the camps where
this work is being given the most az
tention are Fort Riley, Kan, and
Camp American University, near
here, the engineers training head
quarters.
All the latest equipment has been
furnished to Camp American Univer-
sity Because of the probability o.
the flame men going to France as
soon as they are trained hundreds of
men anxious to get to the front are
enlisting for the work Among those
being especially accepted are chem
lists, gas engineers, plumbers, electrl-
cal experts, mechanics, chauffeurs,
and gas and explosive experts. The
organization which is apt to be the
first of the kind in service, will be
known as the l32 BattaleoA, Gas AMI

HOBSON ADDRESSED
LARGE AUDIENCE IN
METHODIST CHURCH
FORMER ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN,
NOW TOURING IN INTEREST OF
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT WAS
HEARD WITH ATTENTION.

At the First Methodist church last
night a large audience heard former
Congressman Richmond Pearson Hob
son deliver his address in behalf OF
the proposed prohibition amendment
to the federal constitution. He spoke
during more than an hour and his
hearers were both edited and instruct
ed by the discourse. Captain Hobson
is a polished speaker, and talks with
magnetism that has distinguished
him as an orator throughout his pub
lie career.
He is making tour of the coun-
try under the auspices of the Ma
tional Anti-Saloon League, and is one
OF the most powerful orators arrayel
on the side of the prohibition amend
ment. He was introduced last night
by Congressman Charles R. Crisp, who
paid a glowing tribute to his work in
behalf of prohibition while mem-
Der of congress from Alabama.

based upon the average price paid
by dealers, this being arrived at by
including both coal on hand and coal
, received during the current month
and, striking an average price for the
whole. To this average price may be
added the profit permitted to be earn
&c by the government, and as prices
at the mines have been considerably
reduced since the war began, this is
certain TO result in an early reduction
in prices, says Fuel Administrator AL
len.
1t is interesting to note the prece-
dence to be followed in the filling of
orders for coal, this being provided
for along with other contingencies
that may arise The regulations re-
quire that the railroads and muni-
ticns industries shall have precedence
over all other agencies in the distri-
button of coal, this being due to the
fact that the government may at any
time call upon them to perform ser
vice in connection with the war,
which without sufficient stocks OF
coal on hand would be impossible In
the next class come all public utili-
ties, which includes hospitals ami
schools, as well as plants rendering
usual public utility services, such as

plants, creamatories, etc, the opera

are required to make monthly reports
of their stocks on hand, and are pro-

Agreement Reached AS To
Price of Coal In Americus
Fuel Administrator Lee Allen and Various Dealers Haze
Agreed That Mone0aHO Lump Shall Be Sold for 5000 a
Ton and Blue Gem JeAico Coal at S8.5OReducfion of
These Prices is in Sight.

The first effect of government regl-
lation of fuel prices in Americus has
taken tangible form in an agreement
reached between Lee Allen, local fuel
administrator, and various coal deal
ers in Americus, whereby present
stocks of coal will be disposed of at
fixed price for the two grades of
coal retailed here. Montevallo coal,
generally recognized as a superior
product, will be sold for the present
at $500, while Jellico grade Goals will
sell for $3.50. The price of coke had
not been definitely determined, but
according to unofficial figures COM
piled today this product should sell
for $5.17 ton. The fuel administra-
tor, however, declines to advise deal
ers regarding prices charged, and the
value of this commodity remains Of
ficially unfixed.
Figures submitted to the fuel adj
ministrator show that in 1915 Amer
icus coal dealers jaid 1926 at the
mine for coal that cost them on the
siding here approximately $500 Il
ton this in turn being sold to con-
sumers for $500 ton, or $500 gross
profit to the dealer The government
permits dealers to earn 80 per cerc,
increase in their gross profit in 1918,
and figured upon this basis the 500
( tons on hand in Americas yards when
the fuel regulations became effective
properly may be disposed at prices
named above.

RUSSIAN SITUATION
IS STILL UNCERTAIN
BUT IS IMPROVING
KORNIL0FF, LEADER OF RECENT
REVOLT, REPORTED HEADING
ARMY IN CONTROL AT PETRg.
GRAD.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 13.-The situa-
tion at Petrograd late today continues
very uncertain, but it is reliably re-
ported that General Korniloff, leader
of the recent revolt against Kerensky's
authority and recognized as Russia's
Iron Man" has entered the capital
and that the entire garrison, except
the sailors of the fleet, have gone over
to his leadership
The reign of the Bolseviki has al
ready been virtually ended, and Mix
ola Lenine, leader of that faction is
said to be in hiding. Dispatches tell
ing of Korniloff's appearance in the
capital say that the foreign ambas-
sadors there are in communication
with him, and ut is intimated he rep
resents the provisional government
headed by Premier Kerensky. The at
titude of the sailors of the fleet con-
tinues unaffected but it is expected
the absence of all foreign support
will result in their early capitulation.
