The principal object of wintering
cattle is to bring them through the
winter in such condition that they
will make the best returns the next
season. In days of unlimited range
and cheap beef. what would now be
considered high death loss was TAX
en- as a matter of course. With high
beef prices, limited range, and with
feedstuffs more readily available in
case of need, it is not considered eco
nomical to let stock cattle lose flesh
in wintering. They will be in better
shape to take advantage of the next
seasons grass If they gain little
through the winter. 1t is not advis-
able. on the other hand, to let stock
cattle fatten much unless they are
to be fed out for market before June.

Secretary Schmahl:-
"This vast assembly proves to US
conclusively that on this Sabbath af-

triotism is the cause of great reh-
gion. the cause of God Almighty

world. (Applause.) Never during
this crucial period had the American
people so much to rise up and &C
claim the justice of their cause as
when the American ambassador to
Berlin stated openly and defantly
that Kaiser Bill Hohenzollern said
the Americans must keep off the high
seas or he would make war on the
people of the United States. And
my friends when it comes to a ques-
ton of veracity of the ambassador
and Bill Hohenzollern, I am in for
believing the words of the American
ambassador.

BREAD AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
Would Be Used More Extensively IL
Home-Baked Variety Was Always
Good, Say Government Experts.

If home-baked bread were uniformly
we'll made, it would be used more ex-
tensively than at present in place of
more expensive foods. say specialists
in the United States department of
agriculture, and this would be a dis
tinct economy. From the standpoint
Of nutrition it makes very little differ
ence whether breadstuffs are served in
the form of bread or in the form of
breakfast cereals, side dishes with
meat, or desserts.
A man engaged in moderate muscu-
lar work can profitably consume about
three-fourths of pound a day Ct
breadstuffs in any one of these forms.
This quantity is the equivalent Of one
pound of baked bread. AS matter
Of fact, however, it is not probable
that in the average family this guam
tity is consumed and the deficiency is
made up by the use of more expensive
substances. OF course bread alone is
not sufficient for the maintenance Of
health, but from both an economical
and hygienic point of view should be
used more extensively than it usually
Is, declare the experts.

Psychology and the War.

Prof. G. Stanley Hall of the Clark
university, United States. places the
subject of applied psychology on a
high plane in relation to the war. He
states:
"Whatever system has been en-
ploycd, 1t Is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this war which 1t was never possible
to attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more heroism
and daring and have submitted to
more punishment than in any pre-
vious war. No such slaughter would
have been possible in former wars
without provoking panic. This has
unQuestionably been due to the sys-
TEN of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as we'll think
of going to war without hrSt-clnSs mill
itnry equipment as without Il knowl-
edge of applied psychology The coun-
Gil of national defense seems to have
recognized this; and the National Re-
search council within that body will, /
understand. contain representative
psychologists"

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
for Those Now Used, Because Of
Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price of many
Of the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or consider
the adoption of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau Of standards
has frequently been sought in this con-
nection. An interesting field of inves-
tigation is opened up by such inquiries.
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than Others
and slight difference in price would
warrant substitution. 1t is not usu-
ally possible, however, to suggest sub
Stitutes Offhand, as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. "'There is" says the
bureau, IA very wide field of research
here, which would undoubtedly repay

The Reichsrath q Babel.

That parliament of Babel. the
reichsrath, now engaged in playing an
obscure part in the Austro- Hungarian
peace hunt, is permitted to express it's
emotions in eight official languages
symbolic Of the war Of tongues raging
in the empire itself. In the great vocal
chorus the Slovenian may be said to
have struck the strident top note, for
the very word he has coined for HIM
self expresses the belief that no man
is talker except himself. "Slowan,"
in Old Slovenian, meant Ito speak, -
and as the Slav understood no other
speech, the others were naturally the
dumb dogs.-London Daily Chronicle.

cally unfit, and in general persons en-
ployed in the public service, mariners,

designate specifically how these gen.
eral exemptions. are to be made.
Those who do not fall within these
general classes must appear before the
exemption board within their district
and set forth their claims. The mere
fact, for example, that man is mar
ried and has children will be no bar to
his selection for service. He must
demonstrate that he contributes to the
support Of his family. The village
idler whose wife takes in washing will
probably have difficulty \ convincing

A Tremendous Task.
Army officials do not minimize the
difficulty of the Intricate task ahead
o1 them. The president is wrestling
with the problem of selecting the ex-
e;nption boards, so that there will be
no basis for charges of favoritism or
political preference. The normal board
probably will be the same as that
which conducted the registration, but
there will probably be many excep'
lions to the general rule. An effort is
being made to obtain men only of the
highest character for the appellate
boards.
General Crowder and his assistants
are very careful not to disclose ever
the most general features Of the sys
tenn upon which they have virtually
agreed. They fear that if it were ex
planned now changes that might bt
made before its final approval by the
president would lead to confusion. Fol
that reason the word is not to be glver
until every detail has been ponderet
carefully, and when it is given there i:
