Gen. Mccain Outlines Policy.

The policy of the War Department
with respect to men now under train
ing to become reserve officers is out
lined in statement by Adjt. Gen. Nc
Cain stating the process to be fol-
lowed with each class of candidates
The best qualified of all reserve off,
GERS and candidates will be selected TO
become officers of the regiments which
the training company represents" II
says. adding that these officers will be
supplemental to the men appointed
from the regular service for each new
regiment. The number of men to be
taken in each grade cannot be decided
until the. number To come from the
regulars has been determined
The remainder of the qualified men al

stoned as reserve officers to aid in the
training of the new armies as addi-
tional officers of each regiment. Tha,
class will be drawn upon to supply
temporary officers for the regulars and
active officers for the second 10000 OF
the selective army.
1T is more matter of enforcing a
high standard than of approaching a
large number" the statement adds. II
should be borne in mind that other
training camps will follow If the war
continues.

Amount of Daily Ration.

For every element of the civil popu-
lation. regardless of the social class to
which it belongs" DR.. Aguero contin-
ues. the daily ration at the time of my
departure consisted of $50 grammes OF
bread. 35 grammes of meat, $50
grammes of potatoes, 10 grammes OF
fat and grammes of sugar. One egg
monthly was allowed and one portion
of war marmalade monthly. OF this
quantity one received less, rather than
more. Little children and invalids, the
latter on presentation of medical GER
tihcates. can get milk when there is
any"
Regarding livestock in Germany, DR.
Aguero says the 100000 milk cows
on hand before the war have decreased
to 100000. These are suffering from
lack of food, while the average milk
given by each COW has dropped from
seven to eight liters to four and five
liters.

10 per cent of which were sacrificed in
November. 1916, and the number has
since fallen to 100000 Thirty per
cent of the $4,000. 00e swine have been
slaughtered since the war, but the num-
Der of swine has risen to 100000 on
account of the prolific qualities of the

and social democrats desiring the con-
dition before the war the conserva-

rians and officers shouting for indemni-
ties and engagements of the frontiers.
Senior Aguero then portrays the sub
lime confidence placed by all Germany
in the submarine warfare and its Ger
tain effect in the minds of the Ger
mans in starving out England and
France, counting on the reduction of
the worlds tonnage to eight millions
The Germans were taken unawares by

that his iron will will never be broken

German advances-for instance, an ad-
vance on Paris-but they expect to hold
out while the allies exhaust them
selves in regaining tiny strips of ter
ritory. and they believe that the sacred
Rhine will never fail them.
Warns of German Spy System.
In this connection Senior Aguero
gives timely warning about the Ger

the Germans to know far in advance

only military victory can ever con-
quer the Germans, and that no revolu-
ton can ever be expected because of
hunger and starvation, and declaring
that the Germans are pinning their en-
tire hopes on next spring, Senior Aguero
concludes: The German mentality
really has two aspects. The German
has great will power and great tenac-
ity. He suffers without Complaining
He holds his head erect, he stiffens in
suffering and pain. SO that one cannot
notice any symptom of weakness in
him. That is what has held him to
his hopes. When they begin to disap-
pear; when his confidence takes wings,
then comes the collapse. He will not
have tenacity in defeat. When he sees
that the game is lost he will say to
himself that it isn't worth resisting,
and will give up. He will refuse
to suffer longer. not even If Won Hin
denburg demands it. The German gov
eminent knows this and is deceiving
it's people"

It Will not support it any more. The
German Is profoundly individualistic:

the bulk of the Germans do not care
what the conditions are, for they want
peace ardently. The soldiers and labor

Gives Most Recent Figures.

Here" says DIR. Aguero, ARE the
most recent figures:
''Sixty-five grammes of meal, fifty of
bread and two or three potatoes. If one
can get them. Even the dearest res
taurants are forbidden to offer more
than one meat. and there is no hope of
their evading this rule
DIR. Aguero then cites the interna-
tionally known restaurant kewpinski
and says the proprietor of it now is
serving three months in prison. after
having paid u fine of $4,000 marks, for
serving extra bread. He also mentions
the aristocratic Hotel Esplanade, the
director of which now is serving a
sentence of a year in jail, after having
paid similar fine, having been con-
ricted of serving items of food not on
the menu.
Eggs" says DR.. Aguero, ARE non
existent. as also is milk Vegetables
are excessively scarce, and rare foods
are not to be had by persons of tiny
purses. A small meal costs from IL to
IA marks in the restaurants. Sixty
five grammes of meat cost ~ marks.

DR.. Aguero then passes to chocolate,
coffee and tea, which he also charac-
teriZes as non-existent. He declares
that fruits are as rare as vegetables,
because the supplies have been requi-
sitioned by the government for the
army.

HANDLING MILK IN SUMMER
Whether Intended for Table, Cream
cry or Market, 1t Must Be Sweet
to Bring Best Price.

It is no trick at all to keep milk
sweet in cold weather. It may stay
In the sun half a day in December
without any damage, but in June and
July it must be handled very care
fully. Whether the milk or cream is
intended for the table, the creamery,
or the milk market, it must be sweet
If it is to bring the best price.
To keep milk sweet just two simple
things must be very carefully looked
after: (1) it must be cooled as COM
pletely and quickly after milking
as possible, and (2) absolute cleanli-
ness Of pals, pans, and cows must be
secured. If this is done, thunder
storms will no longer sour the milk.
The warm, damp weather which we
have just before thunderstorms really
does tend to cause milk to sour If it
has not been properly cared for.
This souring takes place because lit
tie invisible plants called bacteria get
into it in dirt or by lurking in the cor
ners and seams Of poorly cleaned pals
and cans. The remedy is plain. Keep
the bacteria out by using seamless
pals and cans and seeing that abso.
lutely no dirt or dust gets into the
milk in the stable or anywhere else.

System Described,

More of us every year are building

Fresh air means better health in herds.
The system described by f. II. King,

the natural way.
In Illustration, the movement Of the

down near the floor and extend up
through the roof or to the cupola.
Some builders run the shafts straight
up through the roof, others run them
up to the roof and then over to the

at the ceiling and then use but one
main shaft to the roof at each end
as shown here.
The galvanized metal shaft is pre-
ferred by most dairymen who have
used this sort of ventilating system.

"Are they animals or birds Or flow

"They are pigeons" said Daddy,
''and they really deserve a very fine

A damper in the ceiling at G can
be opened If the temperature of the

At last he took her hand and kissed
her wrist, just over her pulse, as If
to speed a message to her heart, then
into her rosy palm he whispered a ten
der something that thrilled her.
She stood white, motionless, against
the dim illumination of the porch until
he had gone, and not until the last
sound of his motor had died away did
she stir. Then she pressed her own
lips to the palm he had caressed and
walked slowly to her room.

enough how he had spent his time. AL
though he was jumpy and irritable, he
seemed determined by an assumption
of high spirits and exaggerated friend
illness to avert criticism. Since Alaire
spared him all reproaches, his efforts
seemed to meet with admirable suc-
cess. Now Eds opinion of women was
not high, for those with whom he ha-
bitually associated were of small in
%telligence; and, seeing that his wife
continued to manifest q complete in
difference to his past actions, he de-
cided that his a~pprehensions had been
groundless. If Alaire remembered the
Guzman affair at all, or if she had sus-
pected him of completely in it, time had
evidently dulled her suspicious, and he
was a little sorry he had taken pains
to stay away. so long.
Before many days, however, he dis
covered that this indifference of hers
was not assumed, and that in some
way or other she had changed. Ed
was accustomed, when he returned ex-
hausted from a debauch, to seeing In
his wife's eyes a strained misery; he
had learned to expect in her bearing
a sort of plying, hopeless resignation.
But this time she was not in the least
depressed. On the contrary, she ap-
peared happier, fresher, and-younger
than he had seen her for a long time.
1t was mystifying. When, one morn
ing, he overheard her singing in her
room, he was shocked. Over this phe-
nomenon he meditated with growing
amazement and a faint stir Of resent
ment in his breast, tor he lived a self
centered life. considering himself the
pivot upon which revolved all the at
fairs of his little world. To feel that
he had lost eve the power to make
his wife unhappy argued that he had
Overestimated his Importance.
