Coal Enough.

Not only food but fuel is vital need
of this country and Of our allies.
Coal to run the ships and railroads,
to feed the iron furnaces and furnish
steam for all the manufacturing
plants, coal in greater quantities than
have ever before been mined in the
United States or in any part of the
world-and this need is being met
in truly American fashion by the
operators and owners of the mines
and by the diggers of coal.
The production of coal in the
United States last year was the great
est in the history of the country. A
new record, however, was set for the
first six months of the year, fully
27O,O00,OO0 tons of bituminous coal
being produced since January 1st,
thus exceeding the output of the first
six months of last year by about TO-.
100000 tons.

Save Sugar in Jelly Making.

Much waste of sugar and spoilage
of jellies can be avoided by using
simple alcohol test recommended by
the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture. To
determine how much sugar should be
used with each kind of juice put a
spoonful of juice in glass and add
to it one spoonful of 95 per cent grain
alcohol, mixed by shaking the glass
gently. Pour slowly from the glass,
noting how the pectin-the substance
in fruits which makes the jell-is
precipitated If the poctin is preclp-
itated as one lump a cup OF sugar
may be used for each cup of juice; II
in several Jumps the proportion OF
sugar must be reduced to approx
mately three-fourths the amount OF
the juice. If the pectin is not in
Jumps but is merely precipitated, the
sugar should be one-half or less OF
the amount of the juice. If the juice
shows no precipitation under this
test, it is unsuitable for jelly making
and must be combined with apples
or other juices rich in pectin.
The he Cusewife will do well before
making the test, to taste the juice las
fruits not as acid as good tart apples
probably will not make good Jelly
unless mixed with other fruits which
are acid.

THTJRMONT FREDERICK COUNTY, MD, THURSDAY, JULY 5,
That Food Control Bill.

By the time this paper goes to press
the country will probably know just how
firmly-or otherwise-Congress decides
to deal with the traffickers in our food
supplies. With general principles there
ought to be no doubt. Nearly three
years of war has cleared our vision. We
have lacked food, but our allies on the
fighting line have lacked it more. What
is more to the point, unless we are prov
ident in the next few months both we
and our allies will suffer as we have not
suffered up to this time. There are just
two ways by which the danger may be
averted. One is to raise more food; the
other is to prevent waste after the food
has been raised.
Now it would seem simple matter to
accomplish both these objects, and so it
would were we all equally unseltish and
patriotic and honest in our purposes to
give as much as possible and accept for
ourselves as little as possible. Some
men and women are of that stamp:
good many are not. few must even be
classed as vampires. 1t will do no good
to raise an extra million bushels of pota-
toes if INSCRIPTIONS traders are permit
ted to let that much extra spoil before it
reaches the consumer, or to hold back
wheat and corn twelve or eighteen months
at their pleasure when millions of men
and women are at the starvation point
because of such artifcially manipulated
scarcity-hence the Food Control Bill.
But that Food Control bill carries a
drastic prohibition amendment as passed
by the House. Why? Simply because
it will do comparatively little good to
beg the farmer to raise more grain and
the housewife to eat and waste less food,
if at the same time we permit the brew
cries to go on turning that food into
drink. Flour would not be selling at its
present exorbitant figure had the prohi-
bition amendment been passed as law
some months ago.
The brewery interests have given up
hope of saving the day for distilled spirits
but they are fighting hard in lobby and
in the public press to save beer. But
the same unanswerable reasons for pro-
hibiting distilled spirits apply to beer
also. To permit the manufacture of
beer means to cut the effectiveness of
the prohibition measure in half. At the
present time it looks as though Congress
would do this, but we hope not; or, if
so, that it will only be temporarily, in
order to facilitate the passage of the
main measure.
Our nation at war, we cannot afford to
temporize. He must not turn food into
drink; neither must we waste man-poWer
by permitting the drinking of alcohol.
Any man or woman who fails to keep at
the top notch of physical and mental eff
cheney in these crucial hours is a "slack-
err. Shall we imprison one Stacker and
let another go free? HOY.

YN THESE years of war when Eu
rope Is closed to the tourist, thou
sands of American travellers are
turning to the Orient, and most of
those who reach the coast of Asia get
glimpse at least of the oldest foreign
colony In China. This Is the Portu-
guese colony Of Macao, at the western
entrance of the Canton river and only
40 miles from Hongkong, the great
British base,
Macao Is perched on peninsula
which Is itself a part of the island Of
Hiangshan, separated from the main.
was occupied by the Portuguese In
1857 and has been held ever since by
that once great maritime nation. For
nearly three hundred years the Portu-
guese paid ground rent to China for
the colony, and In 1887 the sovereignty
of Portugal was recognized by China.
But the extent Of the territory has
never been settled, for China has al
ways disputed the right of the Portu-
guese to the islands of Taipa and Kolo-
wan and to the coastal waters. Com
mlssiOners We're named in 1909 for the
deimnation of the boundaries, but
they could not reach an agreement.
The city of Macao Is interesting In
various ways and, despite its age,
much of it Is well built and not un-
handsome. Along Its curvlng water
front, known as the Praya Grande, is
a long row of fine residences and other
buildings. Among the most imposing
Of these Is the three-story house of All

Its Gambling Houses.
If you say Macao to the ordinary
globe trotter or the sailor whose voy-
ages take him to the Orient, the name
means chiefly place where he can
gamble, for the city is one of the few
places where the goddess of chance
may still be wOoed with the sanction of
the law. Gambling licenses and opium
supply the greater part of the colony's
revenues, and such sign as "First-
Class Gambling House is frequent on
the main street. Naturally, one re-
suit of this is that Macao swarlns
with lawless characters from all parts
of the world and deeds Of violence are
rather frequent
The gambling dens are conducted by
Cinnamon, and fan-tan is the game
usually played. 1t is apparently the
simplest of all games, and one at
which 1t should be impossible to cheat.
A sheet Is spread on table or on the
floor, and the banker sits with bowl
full Of copper coins in front Of him.
These he counts out by fours, and the
gamblers stake their money on there
being three, two, one or none remain
ing at the end In the bowl. China
men with practised eye can tell
while there are still Il great heap OF
the coins in the bowl how this final
counting will result, and the banker
has probably u keener eye than any Of
the Chinese gamblers, and has seen
efore them what the count will be.
