NATIONAL FOOD CONSERVATION

THREE general policies in food saving are now being
 maintained by three great nations, the United States, A Great Britian and Germany.
 The German idea is strict ratonng of the consumer, and recently the United States Food Administration ssu ed figures showing the present German ration, which IS meagre as to variety and far below average dettec quirementS.
 The American idea in food savng is to secure voun- tary cooperation far possible from both the public and the producer and handlers of food articles
 The British idea lies between the two. As little pulsOry ratonng as possible is imposed upon the general public But there is far-reaching and rigid supervision of all food articles by regulating the manufacturers and merchants by the establishment of maximum prices and after December 3O raonng cards to be issued for sugar

BROWN READY ID
 START COD. WORK

r. E. Brown and associates will soon have force of men at work on the c. O. D. mine, now held by them un- der option from the owners. Mir. Brown expects to unwater the prop erty and make connection between the new shaft and the 300 level, in which big bodies of ore are known to exist.
 The c. o. D. is one of the old mines of the Stockton Hill section and pro duced more than one million dollars in gold, silver and lead. This ore was taken from above the 300 level and ex- tended to not more than 100 feet west of the shaft. If present indications are worth considering this mine ought to become one of the largest produc- CTS in silver, lead, zinc and gold.

KEEPING UP WITH DUTIES
No Man That Could Not overeoms
Proerastination Ever Made a
Success Of HE Life.

A successful man said recently
that he attributed his success to AM
early formed habit Of doing at once.
what he saw ought to be done.
Whenever a task, big or little, pre-.
scented itself, he gave it his immedi-
ate attention, and his splendid.
achievements are proof of the success
Of this habit.
Much mental worry and physical
ill-being comes from putting off un-
til tomorrow what should be done to-
day, and it is one of the most COM
mon failings.
How often we exclaim:
"0h, ! should have written that
letter long ago." or 81 have owed
that call so long I'm ashamed of my
self :" or "I've put off going to the
dentist so long," or 'My rubbers
have a hole in them and here it is
pouring pitchforks; Tve had it on
my mind for the last week to get
new pair" etc! Now a cry of des-
pair over some really big obligation,
now a wall over some small one.
Someone has said that the hardest
part of work is getting at it, and this
is so true. Works irksomeness is
almost invariably due to our fretting
over the fact that it lies ahead of us.
Life is much brighter when we
keep abreast of our duties. Isn't il
the burden of yesterdays tasks, those
of last week, or even last year, that
give you this oppressive sense Of
overwork?

MACHINE TESTS LEATHER.

The shoe-leather testing machine
of P. L. Wormley of the United
States bureau of standards, has al
its chief part a cam wheel, about
IL inches in diameter Of the shape
of a four-leafed clover, and on each
of the four faces is mounted test
sample. The wheel makes about
thirty revolutions per minute on a
horizontal axis. 1t is mounted at
the middle of two parallel metal
bars, pivoted at one end and free at
the other, and its faces rest in turn
near the outer edge of a 16-inch
horizontal disk. Pressure is given
by the weight of the bars, with any
additional load that may be sus-
pended from their free ends. The
cam wheel driven by a chain from
a motor, turns the horizontal disk,
which has a cement friction top, and
is provided with brake wheel and
load carrying brake strap for giving
to rotation.

DINERS POCKET SUGAR.

Diners in London are regularly
engaged just now in a practice which
popularity is known as "pocketing
the sugar" The custom is practiced
all over the city and in all classes of
places where tea and food are served.
German submarines lately seem to
have been especially active against
ships that happened to be carrying
sugar, with the result that, while
there is enough to go around, the
supplies for the distant future are
none too large.

Fish Not RIGHTLY Named.

The sablefsh, or black cod, is not a
cod at all, while on the other hand the
fish variously called eel pout, ceiling
ling cusk and numerous other names,
everything except its good old English
name burbOt, is really closely related
TO the cod. The sablefish is deep-wa-
ter fish, taken usually with halibut
and there having been no market for it
1t has been regarded as a nuisance
and thrown back.
