"PEC O. MY HEART

There are few dramatic offerings
that can boast Of two year con-
tinuous run on Broadway, but "Peg
O. NV Heart" is one of these and
will be the attraction at the
Evangeline theatre on Thursday.
This is play that has plausible
story in which laughter and tears
are deity mingled and has also for
it's central character, one of the
sweetest heroines. "Peg is an un-
spoiled, irresponsible bit of a girl
whom chance throws in the way of
a naughty, unnatural family. They
are also unlike her that she is made
very unhappy, but in the last act,
through the man who has won her
love, her smiles return.

THE MUsKRAT AS FOOD

The flesh of the muslkrat wa.
generally highly esteemed by the
aborigenes Of North America, espec
tally in winter. The early colonist
soon learned to eat the animals, and
cooked them in Indian style, boiled
with corn. Nearly all professional
trappers, hunters, and voyageurs OF
the North and Northwest considered
the flesh palatable, and of ten ate il
roasted over the Goals Of the camp
fire Featherstonhaugh recorded see
ing traders and Indians near Lac
qui .Parlel Minnesota, drying mus
krats for food. He says: This be
ing the reason for muskrats, as the
traders call them, they had taken
an immense number of them, which
they had skinned, and the carcasses,
which they are very fond of, were
drying on sticks over q slow fire. In
twenty days they had taken 1900
of these animals"
In recent years many persons OF
refined taste have eaten the flesh
Of the muskrat and considerable
diversity of opinion has been ex-
pressed as to its palatability. One
writer is emphatic in the opinion
that its musly flavor would keep
any but the starving from eating it.
Another declares that the muskrat
is game worthy of an eqicure. with
a flavor somewhat like the wild
duck that has been shot in the same
marshes where it has fed. A number
of persons have likened its flavor to
that of the famous terrapin Of the
Chesapeake.

Is Days Left.

One half of the short month of
February has gone and that means
counting Sundays there is ID more
days of the Review contest. Two
weeks, or IL days if Sunday is not
counted, and the contest will all be
over. Never in the history of Nor
gan City has there been news
paper contest with prizes such as
the ones to be awarded on March
LIST. If contestants realize the quail
ity of these prizes, they will work
harder these two weeks than they
have ever worked before. Think, a
Ford Touring Car, which would cost
you $395.0O if you walked into the
local sales room with the cash in
your hands to buy it; sparkling
solitaire diamond which the Imper-
ial Jewelry Co. of this city would
not sell you for a cent less than
$4,000 and the Review is giving
them away absolutely free for the
spare time work of the successful
contestants So far it has been spare
time, but in these last two weeks,
there are several Of the young ladies,
who have signified their intention
of devoting every minute to the con-
test to the exclusion of every other
interest.
The vote schedule has been pub
lished enough SO that readers of the
Review, as we'll as contestants are
familiar with it. The fact has also
been emphasized that there is a saw
ing of $1.20, or about 20 per cent
by subscribing by the year.
If you are to vote in this contest,
you had better do it now.

mans statement to the department that
improvement in conditions has been
made Is borne out by the report to the
navy that armed guards still stand be-
fore every immoral house in the city,
with orders to prevent the entry OF
any man in uniform.
According to naval officials no COM.
plants have been made Of immoral
conditions in this city, and consequent

across the street himself
Upon leaving the Secretary's office

that he had only come across the street

WASHINGTON. July 13.-Following

pealed to the business men of the
country Wednesday to be satisfied
with fair profits. Secretary Franklin
Lane. OF the Interior Department. and
one of the six Cabinet members who
compose the Council of National De-
Tense. warns the country that this
war is not to make any man RICH"
in the course OF statement given to
the Associated Press. Secretary Lane
spoke as the result of inquiries con-
corning recent criticism of the adj
visory commission OF the Defense Coun-
ell and a persistent report that re-
organization Of the council is i'm
minent
Answering talk in Congress and else
where suggesting that members of the
council are in position to make con-
tracts with themselves and thus de-
rive personal profit from the war, Mr..
Lane said the business men composing
the advisory commission have no con-
troll over contracts, and. in fact. give
to the government infinitely more than
they receive. Analysing the organizu-
ton further. Mr.. Lane gave high

comprise the many committees on sup
plies. including raw materials OF all
kinds. and manufacturers.
This war is not to make any man
rich" Secretary Lane said. There
will BIO revolution in the country IL
business works to that end, and So
cialism will surely come. The best
protection to industry now is to see
that Industry is not allowed to take
what 1t can get. To indulge selfish
ness. the selfshness which underles
trade in normal times, is TO bring
about the governmental ownership and
operation OF industries which have
never been thought OF as public utili-
ties. So that this is a time when by
following the business as usual STAN
dard you will put yourself out of
business. We must have more busi-
ness OF some kinds and less OF other
kinds. and profits must not climb or
the people will pull down the ladder"
Mr.. Lane did not contend that the
organization of the Defense Council
as created was wholly satisfactory.
