ONE WAY OF SAVING
THE SUPPLY OF MEAT

President Harrison of the South
ern Railway System, has issued a
statement calling attention to the
fact that one way in which very
substantial saving of our meat re-
resources may be made Is through
reducing the number of animals
killed on the railroad tracks. On the
railroads of the United States many
thousands of cattle and hogs are
killed every year. and. as those killed
in this way are not used for food,
this loss results in a eorrespondingly
large decrease in our available meat
supply.
THE responsibility for this loss
rests primarily on the owners of the
animals who will allow them to stray
on the railroad right of way" says
MIR. Harrison. When they are killed
the law places the responsibility on
the railroad and the owner suffers
no direct pecuniary loss. There is
however, in addition to the serious
reduction of the meat supply of the
country, a further economic loss
through the payment by the railroad
company of money, which is urgently
needed at this time for increasing tht
transportation facilities Of the coun
try, the lack OF which for the move
ment Of his crops to market may
cause a loss to the farmer greater

duced to try out his discovery. and it
has been found that with six-cyl-
inder motor, mileage is increased to
a considerable extent, while motor
and spark plugs are bright as dol
lar. The secret of the application of
naphthaline to the gasoline Is not in
creating higher grade OF gasoline,
as one may have supposed, but in
keeping the engine and plugs abso-
lutely clean and in perfect working
condition. Automobiles should give
it trial. Naphthaline may be pur-
chased at any drug store for 40 cents
a pound, and the balls weigh from 40
to SO grains each. II your tank holds
IA gallons use nine of the balls, Con-
tinue to do so for a month and then
make an examination of your engine
and see if you can find any carbon.

MAXIMUM PROFITS OF
THE MILLHRS FIXED


Minneapolis, Aug. Maximum
profits of millers on the wheat crop
of 1917 have been tentatively fixed
by agreement with the food admin
istration at Washington, as follows:
Flour, rs cents barrel; mill feed
so cents ton.
This developed today in an inform
al discussion among Minneapolis mill
ers.
The millers national committee
will soon present this tentative agree
ment to the millers generally for for
NAL acceptance. The millers are al
ready under pledge to abide by IL.
The plan is for the federal food
administration, through its newly or
ganized food corporation. to buy the
wheat at the terminal markets at a
price to be fixed by the Hoover com
mittee now considering the problem
at Washington.
The millers will, in turn, buy the
grain at that price from the food cor
poration. They win then grind It
into flour and mill feed and sell the
products at net profits not exceeding
those stated.
They will enter into formal agree
ments to this effect with the food
administration, which will check up
the costs of manufacture. and which
can at any time refuse to SUNNY
wheat to the millers if the agreement
is not carried out.

the railroad for the animal killed.
the extent Of this loss may be indi-
Gated by the fact that the Southern
Railway System alone paid out in the
IL months ended June 80. 1917 more
than 100000 for animals killed on
the right of way. This sum, even at
the present high prices Of equipment,
would be sufficient to buy more than
100 standard box cars that would
handle at single load more than
5000 tons of freight, and the con-
staat use OF these many additional
cars would tend to the relief of the
present wartime congestion of traf-
fic. Is it not the patriotic duty OF
every farmer to keep his live stock
away from the railroad tracks?"

ROBBERS KILL TWO MEN
AND CARRY OFF PAY ROLL

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Two men car

to death in front of the plant by five
bandits who escaped with the money
in an automobile.

the entrance of the iron works the
ear containing the robbers drew up.
The three bandits leaped from the
machine and opened fire with revolt
yers. osenberg and Allen fell with
bullets in their heads. The bandits
fired twenty shots. A score of Pc
destrians witnessed the killing. Two
bandits remained in the machine. the
motor OF which was kept running. AS
0senberg and his companion fell. the
satehel containing the money was

NORTH IDAHO FIRES
BEYOND CONTROL

Portland Ore. Aug. 29-While for
est fires generally throughout Wash
ngton and Oregon were beng check
ed today, the great fires in western
Montana and the Idaho panhandle
are uncontrolled.
The timber burns like paper. Mon
tana's supply of fire fighters has been
exhausted, and recruits for the battle
will be rushed from Washington and
Idaho. It is estimated that five-thou-
sand men are fighting fires In Mon
tana.
The situation in Washington and
Oregon is much improved. Fires
near Newport, Wash, and in Baker
and Hood River counties in Oregon,
this morning were reported beyond
control, but elsewhere the men on
the fire lines have checked the fires.

MoTH-BALIS USED IN GAS
OLINE ADDS no MILEAGE

Automobile owners win be inter
ested in discovery made by DR.. May
of Salem, whereby saving of gaso-
line may be effected by the use of q
common commodity found at any
drug store, reports the Polk County
Observer. The doctor early last
Sprig read an advertisement in an
eastern publication which offered foI
a dollar sufficient amount of a GER
tain material to make 30 gallons OF
gasoline. Being interested he for
warded the dollar, and in reply he re-
ceiYed about half pound of colored
balls, each of which weighed 25
grains, with instructions to use one
ball to every gallon of gasoline put
into the container and by SO doing
the saving would be 20 gallons OF
gasoline out OF every hundred.
Before using the balls DIR. May
made chemical analysis of them,
which he found to be composed en-
tireIy or naphthaline. He went to
his druggist and purchased one
pound of naphthaline moth balls
and made a comparative test. Plac-
ing a pint Of gasoline in each OF two
bottles, containing copper. brass and
nails, he added liberal amount Of
naphthaline. his object being to as
certain whether or not the brass and
copper would gather yerdigris or the
nails rust. Finding that all were abb
solutely clean after ten days and con-
sequently harmless to his engine, the
doctor then tested the use of naph-
thaline for mileage and to his sur
prise found that he could increase his
mileage approximately one-fifth by
its use as directed. The balls pur-
chased in the east and those bought
by him performed exactly alike.
While on recent trip to the Tilla-
nook country the writer met DR.. May
at Pacific City, and by him was In

When the Eyes Need Care.

"Tired eyes" according to Dr. Ar thur F. Bostwick, belong for iae most part to those who have worked them hardest; that is, to readers who have entered on middle age or have already passed through 1t. At this age we be- come conscious that the eye is deli cate instrument-a fact which, how ever familiar to use in theory, has previously been regarded with aloof- ness. Now 1t comes home to us. The length of sitting, the quality, quan- tity, and incidence of the light, and, above all, the arrangement of the printed page. become matters of vital importance. A book with small print, or letters illegibly grouped or of un- recognizable shapes, becomes as impos- stble to us as if 1t were printed in Chinese

The Three
 Wise Men

ZANE Christmas mystery remains
 unsolved. Who were the wise
 men of the Eiast-the magi who followed the star of Bethlehem from afar to do homage to the newborn Saviour?
 It is fair to assume from the fact that the visitors were received at court by King Herod and that they carried gifts of value that they were in their own country men of royalty or close to it. Herod evidently deemed it well to treat them with deference, for dis quieted though he was to lead them to the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis sembled and told them that when they had found the new born he would re- turn to worship with them.
 Much of our information about the early days of the Christian era comes from the monks of the fourteenth cen tury, who delved deeply into historical sources since lost to the world. Their story of the three wise men has re- ceived wide credence. According to
 
 great kings called Caspar, Melchoir and Balthasar. Caspar was the oldest and from the North. At the time of the birth of Christ he was sixty years old, and for more than two-thirds of that time he had ruled in Arabia. Balthasar was black, native of Saba, from the East, and forty years old. The youngest was Melchoir, from the South, whose country was Tarshish. He was twenty years old.
 Impelled by some mysterious power, they dropped all the cares of the state and followed a single star thirteen days and nights, without eating or sleeping, till 1t led them to Jerusalem.
 Then the story follows that of the Bible until they returned to their own countries.
 The story does not stop here. It tells circumstantially the after life of the three wise men. The good Apostle St. Thomas journeyed to their country and baptized them, and all three went out to preach the doctrine of the Christ.
 They were slain by barbarous gen. tiles, and later the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine, recovered their sacred bones and took them to Con stantinople. Thence they were carried to Milan and finally found Rn ultimate resting place in Cologne. where they now are.-New York Post.

KEEP THE STREAM
CLEAR SAYS DIXON
Commissioner of Health Makes
an Appeal TO the People
of the Commonwealth

Commissioner of Health Samuel G.
the State Issued to-day, calls upon
them to cooperate with the State in
keeping the streams clear of pollution
of all kinds. The streams. thanks to
the manner in which the people have
backed up his efforts in many parts
of the State, are on fair way to be
freed from municipal drainage. but
there is still much work to be done.
DR.. Dixon says:
From the settlement of Pennsylva-
MIA by the Spanish, the babbling
brooks, up to and including the broad
water highways of nations, have been
used for the disposal of sewage and
this without restraint, until a few
years ago when the work began under
the law of 1905 to change this con-
dition which has resulted in reducing
typhoid fever "A per cent. as well as
lessening the suffering and sorrow of
thousands of human beings.
Tho time consumed in cleansing the
streams is not for the want of Suff1-
cient legislation; that is ample. The
progress has been impeded by the fact
that homes and industries have grown
since our first civilization very much
as Topsy did, without any thought of
the tomorrow. Having this enormity
of insanitary conditions to meet. with
so many lives depending upon the pro-
ducts of the offending producers. much
financing and time must he used, to
eliminate the death dealing condition.
The sewage from individual
sources has largely been removed from
i -.
removed their wastes gradually and
continually. This, however, has been
a work that of necessity moves slowly,
for upon the great industrial plants
our people depend for some of the
necessities of living and hundreds of
thousands of our people made their
bread and butter for their families
by working in the great manufactur-
ing plants of the Commonwealth. 1t
would not have done to arbitrarily
have ordered all these industrial
wastes out as we had a high appre-
citation of the distress to our people
by the closing down of our factories
and therefore waited in many ways for
Mother Invention to discover ways and
means of disposing of industrial wastes
without interfering with the great
hubs of industries.
Our people during the last decade
ing that pure water is as essential for
have been educated to an understand
good health as proper food. This,
however, was recognized in the time
of Nero; that great and arbitrary EN-
peror was fined for polluting the Nile.
las the best results in civilization
are obtained by cooperation and not
by the harsh enforcement of police
laws, the appeal is made by the De-
partment of Health to every citizen of
Pennsylvania to guard from pollu-
ton the water that we must use for
domestic purposes. To restore our
streams to their. virgin conditions will,
of course, be somewhat expensive, yet
money cannot be better spent as
the health of both man and beast de-
pends upon improving our domestic
water supplies-in fact 1t is great
factor in increasing the power of our
Nation, because this depends upon the
health of our people,"
