LIME FOR WHEAT.

Fortunately for Tennessee, limestone

by the use OF local portable and sta
tionary crushers lime may be trans
ported to thousands OF acres of wheat
by farm wagons or trucks. The local
crushers will be great conserver of

While lime will he most efficient, if
applied and dlsked into the soil before

To supplement lime and phosphate
applications, such quantities Of nitrate

able should be used as top dressings
especially over thinner areas of wheat

 DELIVER HIS MAIDEN SPEECH THURSDAY
Won Hindenburg and Gen eral Lundendorf Continue in Conference With the
 Emperor at Berlin

Copenhagen, July 16.-Dr. Geors e Michaelis, the new chancellor, will de- liver his maiden speech in the Reichs- tag Thursday. The address is expected to contain an announcement of his forthcoming programme and is awaited with a great deal of interest.
 Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and General Ludendorff, who were sum moned to Berlin by Emperor William, are continuing their conferences with party leadehs Dr. Michaelis is parti- cipating in them.
 Representatives of the Berlin press were received Saturday by General Ludendorff, who told them the military situation on all fronts was favorable.
 The Pan-German Independence league adopted a resolution of protest against the proposed peace action of the Reichstag majority, declaring the adoption of the majority programme would result in the indefinite continu- ance of the war, and the political and economic ruin of the Germans.
 pr. Michaelis is the father of a family of a size encouraged by En- peror William. He had six children, but one son has been killed in the war. Two daughters are engaged in public welfare work and the third daughter is in charge of a soldiers convalescent home

 to a soft boiled egg and the juice of an orange for our breakfast doesn't it?
 That is, 1t would seem foolish if we

 Evidently Anne Boleyn did have such
 as yet unknown to northern folks and
 soft boiled eggs, if taken at all, were
 considered sort of heroic dose to take
 after all other remedies had failed. As
 an article of diet served in that simple
 condition the boiled egg was as yet
 unknown. And so Anne Boleyn followed
 the dictates of her not too fine palate
 and breakfasted on boiled pork and beer
 356 mornings of the year.
 Probably most women, beautiful and
 otherwise, breakfasted on beer or ale till a period much later than that of the unfortunate Anne Boleyn, for cof- fec and tea and chocolate-now indis- pensable for the breakfast of most ot us-were as yet unknown in England or other countries of western Europe. But if we should take to beer or ale

If we eat soggy buildings and heavy pies cucumbers lobsters and a host of other difficult dishes at other meals. we at least de not take them for breakfast When we have become as sane in our other meals a5 we are about our breakfasts, ther perhaps we shall have conquered almost all the ills that come from improper eating and careless diet.

HOOVER CRITICIZED BY SENATOR REED

 SAVING PIE CRUSTS

clared that if the government is to spend millions for food control administra- tion, the authority should be vested in somebody "who knows something about 1t" He exhibited a letter written by MT. Hoover to the Pullman company, regarding the preparation and serving of food on dining cars. The letter, he de- clared, instructed the company to reduce portions while prices were to remain unchanged.
 The instructions prepared by MT. Hoo yer for housewives of the country were ridiculed by the Missouri senator in a sarcastic attack which caused laughter in the chamber and galleries and neces- sitated frequent calls for order. He criticized the suggestion to order bread 24 hours in advance, declaring that if MT. Hoover had lived in this country longer, he should know the American not on the baker.
 A food administration, he asserted, in stead of spending his time saving pie crust by not putting. tops on tarts, should be planning an erection of great warehouses to hold the vast crops which are to be harvested this year.
 Defending MT. Hoover Senator Phe- Ian pointed out that during his speech the Missouri senator had not denounced the food administrators ability or i'm peached his integrity.

Considerable fighting has taken place between the British and tee Germans on the northern front in France and Belgium. but apparently the infantry attacks are still in the nature of raiding enterprises. although Berlin records the repulse of British attempts to recapture positions at Lombaertzyde, in Belgium, and the i'm fliction of heavy losses
 The probable recommencement of heavy fighting along the Austro-Itai- ian front seems apparent from the latest official communication from Rome. Heavy bombardments have been begun along the entire front, vita the Italian gunners doing effective work in destroying enemy positions at various points. In the Jamiana valley the Italians, following heavy boip- bardment. delivered a successful raid, capturing 275 prisoners and machine guns and war material
 Comparative calm still prevails or the Macedonian front. although in the Vardar section the Teutonic allies have endeavored to carry out rai6s with strong forces. These were all re- pulsed by the French fire.

The decision of the interdepartmental board regarding the availability of sites for the $20,000,000 government nitrate plant caused keen disappointment in the Twin Cities and throughout north Ala barna. It had been generally conceded in this section that Muscle Shoals would be chosen as the location for the plant and the Black Warrior river site had never been considered a formidable con tender. It is expected here that the fight for the Shoals will be continued with un- abated zeal until President Wilson makes his decision known.
