viand was creamed shark. It had been planned by a representative of the Bureau of Fisheries, who was present, and one of the purposes of the dinner was to stimulate interest in our neglected fishing industries.
 The incident is another tangible proof of the progress we are making in thrift. Not only are we learning to conserve our present supply of food, but we are increasing this sup- ply by the development of new dishes.
 Another example of a new source of food supply is cactus candy, which is now being made in Louisiana from the spineless cactus, grown for cattle food. This candy makes a pleasing confection and requires only a small amount of sugar. It is said that the development of the cactus candy in- dustry will enable sugar mills in the South to utilize part of their machin- cry in candy making during the nine months of the year when they ordi- narily are idle.
 There are still other possibilities of

increasing our food supply that have not yet been developed in this coun- try. For example-millions of bush els of acorns now go to waste. The acorn, as long ago was shown in Europe, makes a very good meal which can be mixed with rye or wheat flour, and, while the bread is not as pa1atable as that which we Americans have been used to, it is nevertheless quite nutritious. The American Indian knew the food value of the white-oak acorn and used to make meal of 1t
 The common thistle also possessed great food value and when young and tender can be cooked as a substitute for asparagus. Not long ago, a nut growers association was formed in New York for the purpose of stop ping the vast waste of mt foods. Nuts are being used more and more as food, not only in cakes and pastry, but for breads of various kinds. It is said that the walnut contains SO much natural oil that a piece of wal- nut bread IS equivalent to an ordinary slice of wheat bread and butter. It is said that six ounces of shelled pea nuts possess a food value equivalent to 23 ounces of round steak, 5 ounces of codfsh, one ounce of rice, AZ ounces rye bread, 35.5 ounces spinach, 5.6 ounces apples, 6 ounces bacon.
 As the war progresses, we will find more and more ways of practising thrift. We are eating less meat and wheat than was the case few weeks ago, and yet who can say that we ara suffering even the slightest incon- venience therefrom?

Historical Precedent.

The American Indian of the dime 2ovel period practiced camouflage reg. ularly. says the Christian Science Monitor. Frequently he played the role of a bush while stealing up, at nightfall. upon the paleface. Clumps of foliage, it will be recalled, were often found by the eagle-eyed hunter te have moved during the night. One Buckskin Hank of the Rosebud, on en- tering what he supposed to be a grove of young cottonwoods, found himself surrounded by a band of Comanches, who, throwing of their disguise, rushed upon him! At this moment, however, thlee tall oaks hard by fell upon the redskins and rescued him. The tall os.;s., it is unnecessary to say, were Rackskin's trusty companions. who, suspecting the artif1ce of the Conan ches. had beaten them at their owp game.

Routed by eaboons,

An old gentleman met with a peeul- lar experience at Madeira Hill. Queens. town, South Africa. Reaching the crest of the hill, he was about to settle for quiet smoke in sheltered D k when he was startled by lou2 bark in close proximity, then by another and another. He had dropped on big drove of baboons, numbering at least a hundred. Almost on every rock there was one barking defiance ct him 1; little farther off was big crowd of young ones. He raised his stick to his shoulder as if he was going to shoot, but at this the barking only grew more fierce and more general. He thereupon decided to give tho balloons a "strategical riddle" evacu- ated the crest. and came down the town side of the hill in an orderly re- treat and not too slowly.-ExchangA

Dead" Defendant's Plea.
 Judicial skepticism to a marked de- gree is shown In the opinion in Free man. vs. Frank, 10 Abb., Pr. (N. Y), B7O, in which the court makes the fol< lowing answer:
 'The fact that the defendant has all- swered, though by attorney, shows he Is neither civilly or physically dead. It Is conclusive that he is living, and not under any disability that prevents him defending the action. The defendant, by answering. proves he is alive; and when he ayers in his answer that he Is dead, he is not to be believed. The answer, therefore, contains two con- tradictory averments, one of which in Judgment of law is a fiction. If the defendant was dead, he could not an- swer. Hence the averment that he Is eivilly dead must be deemed untrue"

Cotton lnstead of Silk

For almost hundred years no one thought of making thread other than from linen and silk. Cotton was not so much as thought of. Then Napoleon, who had been devastating Europe, thought he would strike blow at the silk industry of Hamburg, and caused the stocks of silk to be burned. The thread makers of Paisley thus found their supplies of raw material cut of, and they had to look about to find 8 substitute. Cotton was tried, and was found to answer the purpose so well that the basis of an entirely new indus try was laid--the manufacture of "cot. ton" thread. From this time on the progress of the new industry waS steady.

MORE PASTURES NEEDED TO RE 0UcE THE COST OF MILK PRO.
 DUcTION IN ARKANSAS.

A committee of experts with the Agricultural Extension Division ;u their survey to determine the cost of milk production around Little Rock and Hazen found the following to be true:
 The cost of feed and pasture Der COW per year was $114 at Little Rock and $66 at Hazen, or a difference of $49. Each Little Rock COW ate s pounds more rouhgage per day and half a pound more concentrates per day in the winter season than did their Hagen competitors. They also ate 1.2 more pounds of concentrates per day in the summer season. The Little Rock cows produced s.S23 pounds of milk per year while the Hagen cofs produced 334O pounds. The cost of feed per quart of milk was about two cents higher at Little Rock than at Hazen."
 This difference was undoubtedly due to the fact that the dairymen at Hagen live on prairie and have plenty of pasture while the Little Rock dairymen live on farms often not exceeding 10 acres and buy prsc. ttcally all of their feed. According to the committee, Arkansas need for the economical production of milk is better COWS and more permanent pas. lures made up of Bermuda grass, les pedesa, burr and white clover for the central and southern part of the state eAd orchard grass for the northern psrt uf the state.
