income is $500 a year. which before the

Of hungarian Iionveds. In the battle

glory.

Of General Won F~alkcnhayn. but they
have their own ieadcr. a general OF
great ability. who also has a number
az German and Austrian regiments
under his command and proudly wears
the iron Cross Of the first and second
class.
The staff OF the Hhonvcd commander
is composed entirely of Hungarian of

and AuStrians in bravery. resourceful-
ness and skill.
INTELLIGENCE OF MEN
MIG nov AVERAGE
Although the hungarian forces arc
only ,erri,orials. they are as perfectly
drilled as the crack German troops. and
their equipment is fauitl"ss. While In
the regular Austro-IIungarian army all
are given in German. the
IIonvcds use their native tongue, and
they guard this privilege jealousy.
The officers are men Of excellent edu-
cation. and the intelligence OF the sol
Iiers IN the ranks is much above the
average found in other armies.
BEFORE they were sent home to their

EXCESSIVE PROFITS
HAVE BEEN EI.IMIN ATE:D

Excessive profits In this way are
eliminated. and producers and dis
tributers no Longer are allowed to de-
t"rmine their mutual relations. When
the state finds that one is getting the
better Of the other II intsrvenes.
The latest exploit of the State in this
direction is the curtailing OF the profits
OF the fishing industry. II was discov-
cred that the Danish fish exporters
were making large prohts in their eX-
ports to Germany while the fishermen
were almost starving. The govern
;nent threatened that unless Il 10 per
cent bonus were paid 10 the fishermen
by the exporters the export OF Fish
would be topped. The xporters al
ready have agreed.
There has been great success in Den
mark IN keeping the price of foodstuffs
down to ~rock-bottom. Rye bread is
only 30 per cent higher than before the
war, While sugar ia almost normal.
Eight other foods have been reduced
by about 80 per cent.
The Prime Minister and his Cabinet
have that the state must
take the full responsibilities for the
health and welfare of its citizens and
they arc making every effort to do
this. even though forced TO concede.
their course is evident socialism.

times tame, sometimes quiet, but usu-

with but little interest. But when the

closure of some less amusing exhibits
the keepers are Immediately active,
usually finding bit of geological tenn
permanent has resulted in tantrum by
the long-ignored occupant. Recently
a keeper saw laughing battalion Of
. sightseers surrounding the cage of
Minnehaha, the smallest donkey In the
world. Minnehaha Is cute, odd and in
teresting, but there Is nothing about
her to cause observers to shout with
laughter. So the keeper walked over
curiously. Someone had pasted pic
ture of the German crown prince I'M

Minnehaha is.

must, however, bluntly remind them
that it is their own fault. This COM

tehos states whose congressman did
not feel the pull of patriotism and
service sufficient to cause them to
devote time and money to help their
state and government to better und-

NEW CLEANER RUN BY WATER
Recently Invented Device Can Be oper.
ated at Any Point In House Where
There Is Hydrant.

A vacuum cleaner has been invent
ed which can be operated wherever
there is a hydrant in the house.
A pipe of the right diameter is
screwed into the hydrant's mouth and
runs down to the bottom of the sink.
A spiral nozzle fits the pipe just below
the mouth Of the hydrant. An angular
pipe opens into the vertical pipe i'm
mediately below the nozzle and slopes
up to connect with a rubber hose on
the guiding rod.
To clean the room you turn on the
water and guide the rod over the car
pet. After traversing the spiral noz-
zle the water whirls around and passes
the opening of an angular pipe, fore
ing out all the air near it. The
vacuum so created starts the air flow
ing in the rubber hose. s.-. .,

The Purpose of Food
Conservation

Washington, D. c., October 30-The
Food Administration is somewhat surprised
that evidences of misapprehension as to
the exact purpose of its plan of food con-
servation are still reaching Washington in
spite of the wide educational campaign
that has been carried on by the Federal
Food Administrators through the news
papers of their states.
The mistaken idea that American
citizens are expected to reduce their own
consumption in order to send food to our
Allies keeps cropping up.
I'VE do not ask our people to deny
themselves any food they need for their
health or enjoyment" declared Food
Administration official to-day. I'VE arc
urging only that they substitute nourish-
ing, palatable food, which we must send
wheat, meat, fats and sugar. There is nc
escape from that necessity and duty.
We can do it easily if we will substitute
corn and other cereals for part of our
usual consumption of wheat, use fish,
poultry and eggs instead of part of our
odrinary amout of meat, employ vegetable
oils instead of ANIMAL fats in cooking, and
save sugar by using syrups wherever posi-
BILE. Thisinvolves no hardship no depriva.
ton. In fact it will ususlly increase the va
riety and palatability of our daily diet
BUTT will release these other foods which
concentrate large amount of nutritivt
value into small shipping space Com
bined with the elimination of all possible
waste it will permit us to keep oul
Allies supplied with food"
Food Administration officials are highly
gratified with the unanimity with which
citizens of all states are signing the Foot
Pledge cards. From various localitie
come reports that enrolment is mucl
crater than even the most optimistic ex
pectations.
In many localities the enrolment in
cludes practically one hundred per cen
of the population.
