MAY USE POTATOES
In MAKING BREAD

The pressure of war conditions has
brought to light the value of pota-
toes in bread making, both in Eng
land and America. AS an economy
in England potato flour was mixed
with wheat and a peculiarly delicious
bread resulted. In this country potato
-four is not available to the average
housewife, and the u. S. Department
of Agriculture has devised recipes
for the making of bread with simple,
plain boiled potatoes mixed with
wheat -four.
This bread contains more moisture
than ordinary bread, and. therefore,
has longer keeping qualities.
For the making of potato bread
1t is advisable to use the early perish
able potatoes, since the later varie-
ties are capable of storage until
spring. "Culls' also may be so used.

last hundred years.

SENATOR KIRBY GETS
PRESENT FROM HOME
Choice Lot of Elberta Peaches Fill
Solon's Office.

If Herbert Hoover had looked
into the office of Senator Kirby. of
Arkansas. yesterday afternoon he'd
have been sorely grieved. Peaches
were all over the place: in the
chairs. on the floor, on the desks,
washbowl. mantle-piece. window
sill-anywhere it was possible to
stick a peach.
They were EIberta peaches. The
Senator wanted that understood be-
fore he would divulge whether he
was about to do his fall canning
or had gone into the peach busi-
ness. There never was such a peach
as an Elberta from Arkansas. he
said.
A friend from Russellville, Ark,
sent them up to him. He had them
addressed to the Senate chamber so
he could give each member box.
Then the ungrateful Senate ad-
journed. so Senator Kirby had to
have the lot moved over to the SEN
ate office building. where he made
up the individual boxes and sent
them around to his colleagues by
messenger.

Claude Kitchin, and other Demo-

RAIN CUTS Size OF
SUNDAYS CROWDS
Evening Congregation Smaller
Than Usual by About Four
Thousand.

NEW YORK, April 2T.-The Rev.
William Ashley Sunday would never
admit there could be such a thing as
too much cold water. but the disposi-
tion OF the weather man to sprinkle
the tabernacle almost too freely yes
terday cut down the size Of congrega-
tions and considerably reduced the
number of trail walkers.
Where the tabernacle had been
crowding them in to its capacity of
more than 10000, there were less
than 10000 present last night, and
the censps of trail hitters showed
just 1861 ,OsO for the day, the small
est total but one of any day of the
summons to contrition.
Squad of Eighteen.
More sailors and soldiers attended
than on any night of the campaign so
far. Among the first to find the trail
were eighteen lads from the cruiser
Olympia, and as Billy saw them COM
ing he raised a high shout: "Hurrah
for God and His cause"
Two young men in the service uni
form of the United States army fol-
lowed the boys from the Olympia,
and n the throng that passed Billy
in the next half hour was a generous
company of land and sea fighters.
In the opening prayer a direct ap-
peal to the patriotism of American
men was made by the Rev. George
II. Buckley, district superintendent OF
the Philadelphia Methodist Confer
ence.

The sermon of last night. which
was from a text taken from Mark,
and in which Billy compared saloon
keepers of the present day to the
Gadarene hog raisers who felt that
tho preaching of Jesus was interior
ing seriously with their business in
swine. offered an opportunity to swat
the rumsters with a parable lifted
straight from the New Testament, an
opportunity which delighted Billy
and gave his work a special pun
Eency. Hear him compare the swine
dealers and tie booze sellers:
"PeopIe Were Sore"
"our Lord has just got back from
the country of the Gadarenes," he
began. while there he had healed
the wild man who had been filled
with the legion of demons. But the
people OF the country were sore be-
cause 1000 hogs had been lost in
the saving of a man, and they
weren't keen to have any more work
done for them at that price. I can
see some of those old hog raisers
wringing their hands and declaring
that the whole country was going
to be ruined unless the man who had
sent their swine galloping into the
sea could be persuaded to depart from
that coast and not to cast out more
devils in their pig worshiping land"

ANTHRAX VICTIM
SLOWLY CHOKING
Strange Development of the
Disease May Kill Before
Serum Can Work.

NEW YORK, April 2T.-Slow Death
from strangulatlon seems to be the
fate of William Grossman, who is in
Bellevue Hospital with a rare case of
anthrax poisoning. The dread dis
ease, like powerful serpent, is wind
ing itself around the mans neck,
pressing on his windpipe.
Last night attending physicians
were prepared TO resort to the use Iof
a golden tube in the mans windpipe
to hold open the passage for breath.
The victim was given twenty-five Gu
bic centimeters OF eichOrn serum
yesterday, which was hurried to Bel
levue from Washington.
Unless the physicians can prevent
strangulation, the serum will not
have an opportunity to act. The pois-
oning already has caused the mans
neck to swell so that the passages of
the throat are in danger OF being
closed.
Grossman appeared at Bellevue
Hospital Wednesday afternoon for
the treatment of a series OF what
semed to be little ulcers on the left
side of HIS face. Dr.. w. G. Rutledge,
the admitting physician, thought the
trouble resembled anthrax poisoning,
and ordered the man sent to an isola-
tion ward. DR.. Irwin Firis and DR..
Eugene Calveli also suspected the
rare and deauly disease, and DR..
George A. Koenig, visiting physician,
was called in. A culture was taken
and sent to the pathological depart
ment. Analysis showed the victim
was suffering from a full-fiedged case
of anthrax.
The injections OF elchorn serum
were made three times yesterday.
First FIVE cubic centimeters were ad-
ministered. Two injections, each of
ten cubic centimeters, followed.
The physicians are puzzled as to
how Grossman contracted the poison
ing. He said that until three weeks
ago he worked as a gardener on a
farm at Pleasantville, N. Y. He IL
thirty-seven years old.

DEVIL FISH ATTACKS MAN
Anglers Fight Desperately With
Monster for Two Hours.

Los ANGELES, April 2I.-For two
hours Dick Hernage and Olaf Oak,
two fishermen out from the Japanese
fishing village north OF Santa Monica,
battled with a gigantic devil fish be-
fore they succeeded in killing 1t and
saving their own lives. 1t was a
battle in the dark, fought ten miles
out at sea of Malibu Point.
Oaks and Hernage, in the thirty
foot gasoline launch Sea Lion, were
fishing on the kelp beds. Not until
its tentacles encircled them were
they aware OF its presence. Both
fishermen were borne down to the
bottom of the launch as the fish tried
to drag them into the sea.
With their hands they tried to dis
entangle themselves. Oaks succeeded
in reaching his sheath knife. which
he used as best he could with his
pinioned arms.
Hernage got hold OF a large gaft
hook and with knife and gan both
men cut and sawed at the great ten
tacles that were encircling them.
They finally broke away from its
encircling grip, and then. with gan
hook and an ak, tackled the body of
the fish that was clInging to the
launch. This they cut and hacked
with al the strength their exhausted
condition would permit.
The fishermen were unable to start
the engine after the battle was over
and had to row the launch to the
fishing village. Both Oak and Han
age are badly poisoned and wounded.
The devil fsh was towed to the
fishing village by its captors. What
was left of it weighed 100 pounds.
