NO INTERFERENCE WITH
 RELIEF TO BELGIANS
ONLY IN EVENT OF WAR WOULD AMERICANS BE ASKED TO
 LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

London, Feb. 6.-Categorical assur- ances from the German government that 1t does not intend to interfere with the feeding of civilians in Bel gium' and northern France were re- ceived today at the local office of the Belgium relief commission. Under these assurances, it was stated, the American agents on the commission may remain in the occupied zones un- less war is declared, and in that event they would receive Sale conduct.
 It also was stated that in event of war between the United States and Germany, the organization would con tinue it's eXistance but would discon- tinue the work of distributing supplies limiting itself to unloading the car. goes ill Rotterdam. at which point they would be turned over to some neutral government to be distributed.
 This information is regarded here as considerably improving the Belgian relief situation
 The only hindrance to the usual course of forwarding food to Belgium lies in the inability thus far to reach an agreement as to the routing of fl ! through the submarine zone.
 Germany insists that it shall be sent by the route north of Scotland
 while the British government stipu lates that the relief ships must con tinue 10 use the English channel route | by way of Falmouth; but the commis sion hopes that some compromise i may be reached by which the regular | sailing can be resumed,

In her last note answering American protests on the deportation of Bel gians dated December II, Germany gave expression 10 the following hope, which is looked upon here 'as indica- tive of her attitude both towards the work of the commission up to now and as to its continuance:

star Closest to Solar System.

Barnard's Runaway" Star, as the
star of remarkably great proper mo-
ton recently discovered in Ophiuchus
is called by some astronomers, is prob
ably nearer to the solar system than
any other fixed star whose parallax
has been measured with the exception
Of Alpha Centauri. The parallax OBJ
servations at the Allegheny observa-
tory give a value of 5 second, while
from micrometric measures made by
Barnard Russell obtains value of
20 second. The parallax Of Alpha
Centauri is .76 second, corresponding
to distance of 49, light years. Ac-
cording to determinations made by F..
Gonnessiat, in France, from a COM
parison of photographs extending back
to 1897, the new star is even nearer
than Alpha Centauri. He finds it's
parallax to be approximately one Sec
ond, representing a distance Of only
= #f light years

ARE LITTLE PIGS OFF FEED?
Look Out for Germ Disease Affecting
Soft Tissues of Mouth Trouble
Is Contagious.

(By DIR. F. B. HADLEY. College Of Ag-
ricuIture, University of wisconsin,
Watch out for sore mouth disease in
little pigs this year. A germ disease
which affects the soft tissues of the
mouth, causing ulcers with dark red
borders, is common in many brood
pens. Unless treated right and with
out delay the disease may cause death.
.Swab the ulcers with a solution OF
potassium permanganate made by dis
solving one ounce of crystals in two
quarts of freshly boiled warm water.
Then wash out the mouth with this
disinfectant fluid. Treat bad cases
twice daily, others once day.
Sore mouth is contagious. To pre-
vent its spread dip the heads of the
pigs in the same solution. Clean up
the pens and disinfect them with some
good commercial disinfectant. Do not
put fresh filters in pen once used
for infected pigs unless it has been
well cleaned.

than 16 cents per pound. However,
record prices for swine as well as
feed concentrates have been a great
incentive to farmers to leash in" all
the hops available. That many sows
have been included is evident from the
fact that bureau of crop estimates
reports approximately three per cent
fewer sows on farms in the United
States than year ago. Further, this
is the first year the supply has not in
creased since 1913.
Breeding sows are at a premium
and the demand for young stock is
unprecedented. The hog buyers state
in their reports that they are COM
PEELED to take anything that looks like
a hog. The fluctuation in the number
of hogs in the United States is subject
largely to the fluctuations in the 1nan-
cial condition of the country. The
high prices paid for hogs are big
inducement to farmers to market their
hogs, the high prices of corn caused
them to cut loose during the latter
part Of the year. The high prices paid
for hogs and an increasing export trade
are the two main factors which make
the hog business especially attractive
at the present time. Millions Of farm
ers would purchase sows to farrow this
coming season if they could, but this
is almost an impossibility. Those
farmers who are fortunate enough to
have retained their breeding sows

TRAINING FOR SHOW ANIMALS
Work Is an Art ard Requires consid-,
cradle Experience to Get Them
at Best Advantage.

It is always mistake to show AMI
mails that have nat been properly
trained. This may easily be done by
taking a little time each day to get
the animals to stand properly and go
where directed. This work is an art,
and it requires considerable expert
ence to make an animal show to best
advantage Before show time the ami
NAL will require considerable exercise,
and this may be had by leading, which
will also help to train the animals to
respond to guidance with grace.

space-saving articles of home equip
ment, because the results obtained by
their use in very small house is very
striking. Their application to the lar
ger houses is just as effective, if not
so striking. Any house might have
one or more. disappearing beds in
stalled as substitute for the extra
bedrooms. Houses having sun parlors
are not yielding the fullest return on
the investment unless the sun parlor
is also serving as sleeping porch.
The type of building which is Sc
lected will determine largely to what
degree economy Of space can be car
ried into the design OF the house itself.
Perhaps the greatest capacity per
square foot Of ground within the foun-
dalton walls is possible with the So.
called square" type Of house. A
house of this type is very easily di-
vided up into rooms without necessary
loss of useful space. Furthermore,
the appearance of the square house is
altogether pleasing, as may be seen
from a study Of the accompanying per-
spective view.
In the design illustrated, the walls
of the house proper are finished with
stucco, while the sun parlor, porch,
chimney and foundation wall above
the grade are built of brick. In house
of this size the combination OF stucco
and brick is striking. The color ana
texture of the brick surfaces may be
selected with the object of producing
the effect wnich is most pleasing to
the owner, and the stucco is capable OF
various treatments to bring out the
desired effect.
The rooms are arranged in very
pleasing manner. In the large recep-
ton hall an open staircase is bullt.
Double doors lead off to the living
rooms. In the main living room a
brick fireplace and two bookcases are
the most attractive features. Glass
doors having an ornamental window on
each side are placed between the mann
living room and the sun parlor. These
two rooms give the house splendld
basis upon which a model home may
be founded.
The dining room and kitchen are
connected by a pantry built out from
the rear wall of the house between
these two rooms. The arrangement
is very convenient.
Four bedrooms and bath are pro-
yided on the second floor. Every room
is well lighted, of good size and full
height. There is a balcony above the
porch, the roof being covered WIN
deck cloth and waterprOofed.

Cheap and Nourishlne Dish.

Two ounces of oatmeal are sufficient
to make a plateful Of porridge, and
this, with a pennyworth Of new milk,
and some sugar, provides more nour-
fishing meal than mutton chop, with
out the fat, or half pound of lean
steak.
The porridge, too, contains all that
the body requires-sugar, starch and
fat, to provide for the energy and
warmth of the body, the albumen for
forming the muscles, and the minerals
for building the bones and enriching
the bloow, but the steak provides for
the formation of muscle alone, with a
mere trace of the requisite minerals.

There are two methods of designing
d house so that it will have sufficient
capacity to meet the needs for which
1t is required. One method is to pro-
portion the size of and number of
rooms to the special requirements of
the case. The other is to utilize certain
of the space for two Or more purposes
and thus obtain the same results with
o. lesser actual floor area. Home equip
ment designed for the purpose of saw
ing space has been and is being devel-
Oped with success because of the fact
that it's need is urgent, calling forth
the efforts Of exceptionally ingenious
men to meet the need.
Suppose, for instance, we consider
how it may be possible to realize the
same utility out of a house of three
rooms which might be expected of
house of five rooms. Naturally, this
requires that two of the rooms in our
&hree-room house be so constructed
and equipped that each will success

been eliminated from the fve-room de-
Sign-in addition to it's ordinary use,
which must not be interfered with.
OF all the rooms in the average
house, the bedrooms are actually used
fewer hours than any other rooms.
Consequently, if the bedrooms can be
eliminated, maximum saving Of space
is accomplished. How may the living
room and the dining room of our three
room house also be used to serve as
two bedrooms2 The problem has
been solved in the disappearing bed.

Some Shoe Sale.

1t was as good as show to see
the people at the opening of the shoe
sale at the Crown Shoe Store, Sat-
urday. Everybody was out of sorts
to put it mildly-over the high cost
of shoeing, and when they found out
that there was bona fide sale, where
they got real values, they showed ap-
probation. Women rushed in
grabbed an armful of shoes, sat down
on seats and the floor and began fit
ting themselves. In some instances
they fitted each other, and sometimes
they got shoes which were in no wise
related to one another. One woman
sat fondling as nigle shoe which
suited her and waited, as she con-
fided to a neighbor, fully two hours
for someone to bring her the mate
to the SHOE" This was time when,
even though patience may still have
been a virtue, it failed to get one

BIG LYONS FAIR
WILL OPEN TOMORROW
(By United Press)


Lyons, France, March 1.-THE
only national fair in France this year
IS the big Lyons fair, which will open
here tomorrow. The fair was to have
been held the first two weeks in
March, but was postponed to give
American exhibitors a chance to get
heir displays here.
The French government decreed
that this should be the only French
national fair this year and took over
the management of it. 1t also de-
creed that all goods sold through the
fair shall be permitted to enter
France for delivery, despite the gen.
eral war decree of May II, 1916, which
interdicted the importation of certain
goods. The list of American partici-
pants is long.
