TO SLAUGHTER CATTLE.
Drastic Move Decided on by German
Farmers.

London, Aug. l3.-Representatiyes of
the German farming interests and the
war food bureau at meeting recently
held in Berlin decided that the shortage
of fodder necessitated drastic slaughter
ing of cattle this summer and autumn,
says a Copenhagen, dispatch, The farm
ers reported that pasturage was poor.
that the hay and clover crops were scan
ty owing TO drouth and that only small
amounts of potatoes and grain were
available for fodder above the require
ments OF human consumption,
To avoid the earlier mistake of vast
ing fodder and barely keeping the cattle
alive through the winter the formers
were advised TO market all except mich
cows, indispensable draft cattle now
largely replacing horses, and such ami
mails for which winter fodder to keep
them in good condition was available,
The measure was recognized as d2h.
eerous in respect TO meat rations this
winter and in 1918 to the future Of the
livestock industry, and the supply of
manure, but The hopes of the farmers,
it was said, were set on an early peace.

When Blackstone had transacted his
business with Colonel Henderson he
took his departure, receiving at the
same time an invitation to dinner the
same evening. The little schoolgirl had
stung him, and when he returned to
camp he had forgotten all the colonel

Bob got himself up in evening dress

to beautify himself as If he was to meet

SHIPPING RATES

Charges in War Trade

Planned

Washington, Aug. l3.-President vii
sons indignant protests against tn.
freight rates being charged on the trans
portation of war supplies between tn,
United States and Europe is finding ex
preston in conferences which the ship
ping board is having with representatives
of the British government looking to a
concerted move by the allies for a re.
duction in rates.
Thomas Royden, who is one of the at.
taches of the British war mission per.
manently stationed in this country, has
gone over the problem exclusively with
the board, and the hope is held out that
an announcement will be Forthcoming
within a few days stating that an under
standing has been reached.
In the meantime the board is arrang-
ing for the requisition of American ships
now at sea.
1t is intimated that the rate agree
ment, if perfected, will involve a control
by the allied powers over neutral ton
mage engaged in the war carrying trade,
and that neutral ships will be compelled
to charge no higher rates than those to
be fixed for allied ships.
After conference between the board
and Mr.. Royden Saturday it was stated
that the board will not enter into any
arrangement with the allies which would
take the control of American tonnage
from the United States government.
The entry of this country into the pro-
posed interallied chartering conference, it
was stated, would be predicated upon
definite understanding that no other
country will undertake to exercise the
slightest supervision over American ship
ping
Failure on the part of the new ship
ping board TO move any faster than its
predecess, in the matter of letting ship
contracts is causing no small amount of
concern among administration officials
and Democratic leaders in Congress who
had hoped that the elimination OF former
Chairman Denman and General Goethals
would remove the main obstacles to
progress.
Contracts which General Cocktails had
drawn up and which Mr.. Denman refused
to approve have been held up until now,
due to the anxiety of Mr.. Hurley, the |
new chairman, to have Rear Admiral |
Capps, the new general manager of the |
corporation, approve the
OF General Goethals, |
and Rear Admiral Caps unwilingness
to do so until he had opportunity to ex.
anime all details.
Members of the board who justify the
delay say that it will not be of serious
inasmuch as there has not
been enough raw material in sight to
AXE care of the contracts already let.
The old board is being blamed for fail.
ire to place raw material orders faster.
While assurance is given that resigna
ions of the members of the legal staff
vas due to their feeling that they should
10 out with General Goethals and leave
Admiral Cspps free to choose his own
associates, there are hints that other
may follow.

JUST EAT, SLEEP AND WORK

That Is oil that some people do.
They are deprived of all the higher

of existence because Ill health has rob-

The disorder which causes its victims
to worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
1t is the great American disease.
The patient is usually pale, showing
that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood
because anything that builds up the
general health helps TO correct the
neurasthenic condition.

TODAY's ANNIVERSARIES

With the elections in New York
City only few days off, interest is
once more aroused in the political or
ganization known as Tammany hall.
The first regular meeting OF the
Society of Tammany, or Columbian
Order, was held in New York. on Nov
8, 1889. just -128 years ago today. The
order was formed to oppose the al
legged aristocratic and royalist tenden-
cies Of the Society of the Cincinnati.
It's name was derived from a famous
Indian chief named Tammany, who
had been canonized as the patron
saint Of the United States by the sol
diers of the revolution. The society
was at first purely social, but about
ten years after, its organization en-
tered politics. and in time Tamnany
came to be recognized as the regular
Democratic organization of New York
city. Strictly speaking the Society OF
Tammany remains distinct from the
Tammany political organization. the
former being still in name a benevo-
lent body, while the latter is strictly
political. Ths head of Tammany
hall is officially the Grand Sachem
although commonly referred to al
| "the boss OF late years PRACTICAL,
all of the Tammany chiefs have beer
of Hibernian descent. Charles F
Murphy. the Silent Boss is now tn,
head of the organization.
