.DO|NGS OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
FROM DAY TO DAY
Saturday


The most important bill introduced
into the house during the days session
was that calling for the reconstitut1ng
the present board of control into the
Board of Public Welfare, and substi-
tuting the state examiner thereon in
stead of the state auditor. The bill
Cruz county, and is in many respects
the same measure that was introduced
; in the last session by Sam w. Proctor
of Navajo county who was recognized
as the floor leader for the Hunt forces
in the house at that time The bill is
extremely drastic and carries with it
considerable power for the public well
fare board not now possessed by the
board of control chief of which is the
modification of the public business,
and revision of the public business
and accounting as a means of produc-
ing greater efficiency in government.
The board has power to conduct in
vestigations for putting into effect
methods in the conduct of public bust
ness, the bill carrying a large appro-
priation therefore.
Another bill introduced in the house
was one by Houser, of ella, providing
that the salary of members of the house
and senate shall be $40 per day, and
that any member absent without ex-
cuse shall have that amount deducted
from his salary. This bill increases the
present legislative stipend which is only
81 per diem. Mrs O'Niell introduced
bill providing that certain definite
portion of the time given to the study
of hygiene by the pupils of the public
schools Of the state shall be given over
to the study of alcoholic drinks and
narcotics and the effects of these upon
the human system. In the hygiene work
of the pupils in the public schools the
text books must give at least one
fifth of their space to this important
question, while high school text books
must CORY at least twenty five pages
devoted to this. Any and all school
officials who shall refuse so to do are
subject to a fine of from fifty to one
hundred dollars for violation of the

NEARING THE END?

Some very interesting information
regarding food conditions in Germany
has just been given to the world by
newspaper correspondent who has just
returned from Berlin to Sweden, fol-
lowing a three weeks stay in Berlin.
He had been in Berlin last summer,
and had observed conditions as they
were at that time, and now he has had
chance to see whether they are
changed in any way, whether better or
worse in the last six months. He re-
ports that they are very much worse.
AS reported by the correspondent
food prices in Berlin are extremely
high, with the exception Of potatoes
and bread, the prices Of which are lxed
by the government. But even fixing
the prices has failed to increase the
supply of potatoes, which are so scarce
that the potato diet has to be supple
mented by turnips. Other features Of
the scarcity of food are the lack Of eggs,
each person being allowed one egg
every two weeks in Berlin for some
time, and even this ration now being
discontinued for lack Of supply.
Canned vegetables have already been
confscated by the government, and
while dealers are to be allowed to sell
two cans to each family a week in the
near future, they will be compelled to
open each can before selling it, so as
to compel the buyer to eat the contents
at once, and not hoard them.
Meat is out of sight, and the weekly
allowance of all sorts of meat in great
er Berlin is from 81 to 834 ounces to
person. One Of the first things that
the Americans who came recently from
Germany with Ambassador Gerard re-
marked upon in France and Switzer-
land was the apparent abundance of
meat, which they saw displayed in the
shop windows. In Germany no meat
is displayed in the shop windows; in
fact, it is distributed without any adj
vertisement whatever.
We do not believe that Germany is

on her last legs, but she is certainly
nearing the end of the rope. Her fight
ing men are probably as well fed as
they weer at the beginning Of the war,
or nearly SO, and they will have to be
until the end, or else the game is lost.
An army marches on it's belly, and must
be fed, no matter what the sacrifices
caused to those left behind at home.
But there comes an end to all human
endurance, even Teuton endurance,
which is as good a quality of endur-
ance as any other brand we know about.
And the prevailing food prices in Ber-
lin throw very interesting light on
the desperate determination of Ger
many to wage ruthless campaign by
means Of the submarine, her one re-
naming weapon which had not been
used to the utmost.

RICH STRIKE AT
CELTIC MINES

CLIFTON, Ariz., Feb. ia rich vein
of copper from eight to ten feet in
width has been struck at the Celtic
mines, about two miles east of Metcalf
according to reports reaching here to-
Jameson and King mines Of the Ari-
IONA Copper company. Samples of the
ore are being brought to Clifton for
display. 1t is said to run high. The
vein was discovered in drifting a tun-
mel from the main shaft. This is not
the only mine that bids fair to be
good producer in this district, the
Leszinsky claims on the south side of
Chase creek also being in the running.

PINAL MAY SUPPLY
MANGANESE WORLD

FLORENCE, Ariz., Feb. 16.-Iron
manganese ore for shipment to the Car
negle Steel company is now being
hauled from the Freeman Chamberlain
mine thirteen miles south of Florence.
The ore runs 48 per cent manganese
and brings 1884 ton delivered at the
mill. The ore carries $1.OO in gold and
trace of silver. The first carload of
ore will be shipped within a few days
and if satisfactory it is probable that
manganese mining will become an i'm
portant industry in this district

HOW To CURE
MEAT At HOME
Brine Curing

Large stone jars are the best con-
expensive. A good molasses or syrup
barrel is satisfactory if it is sufficient
ly tight to prevent leaks, and is thor
oughly scalded before used a second
time. Rub each piece of meat which is
tended for brine curing well with salt
and let it stand day. This is done to
draw out any excess of blood or water
which may be in the meat. After this
time, meat may be packed in a barrel
preferably with hams and shoulder,
skins down, in the bottom of the barrel.
Strips of bacon may be used to fill in
meat as closely as possible to save in
the amount of brine required, and the
meat also keeps better The following
recipe is reliable for 100 pounds of
meat: Salt, 8 pounds; brown sugar,
p pounds; saltpetre, 2 ounces. These
should be dissolved in four gallons of
boiling water and allowed to cool be-
fore pouring over the meat. If this
amount of brine will not cover the 100
pounds of meat, a little more water
may be added. Weight the meat down
whit a clean stone and cover. Meat
should cure in this brine from six to
eight weeks, but the length of time de-
Ponds upon the size of the pieces. After
this time the meat may be taken out
washed and hung UP to drip for two
or three days. Some favor allowing
the meat to soak three or four hours
in tepid water before washing, because
this draws out some of the salt from
the outside of the meat, and gives a
more evenly cured product. For MAX
ing plain salt pork, use 10 pounds OF
salt and ounces of saltpetre Dis
solve in four gallons of water for 100
pounds of meat. Pork may be left in
this brine until used. Care should be
exercised to wash the meat before US
ing the old or the new brine.
Dry Cured
Dry curing of pork in our climate is
not recommended, as a damp cellar is
required to avoid too much drying.
The formula for this purpose is s
pounds of salt; pounds of granu-
lated sugar and 2 ounces of saltpetre
to 100 pounds of meat A little pepper
may be added to keep away insects
This mixture should be first mixed
thoroughly, then the meat rubbed with
third of the mixture and packed
| away for three days. After this time
it should be rubber with another third
! of the mixture and left for three days
when the remainder may be used. After
the last rubbing the meat will be cured
in ten days or two weeks, after which
it may be smoked. barrel or tight
box should be used to hold the meat
while dry curing. To save work it is
wise to have two barrels and transfer
the meat from one into the other after
it is rubbed.

CHLORIDE HITS BIG
VEIN OF RICH ORE

CHLORIDE, Ariz., Feb ia rich
strike has been made in the Chloride
Mining company property at the 424-
foot level Assays; show the value to
run in gold silver, lead and zinc better
than $50 per ton. The vein is about
20 feet wide but the rich portion of it
is something more than three feet wide.
This strike was wholly unexpected at
this point. A strike was looked for in
the north ledge and it is yet expected
that additional valuable ore will be en-
countered further down.

j. s. TO PUT IT
I Up TO GERMANs


WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Po-
litical changes in Germany, strip
ping kaiserism of its powers,
would shorten the war.
President Wilson has appealed
once to the liberal element in
Germany to cast off its yoke. That
he will do so again is strongly
believed here. Eventually this
seed will grow and bear fruit, al
lied diplomats say.
Peace can come only with the
realization of allied war aims" it
was stated at the British embassy
today. THE war can be short
ened by such a political orienta-
ton in Germany that will strip
kaiserism of it's powers"
Liberal diplomats say there
must be a conservative response
to the pope. That the leaven OF
characterization, already at work
in Germany, must be encouraged
by hopeful word now from the
United States, and the allies, is
insisted.
Germans Must Act.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-With new
emphasis, following publication of
the official text of the appeal to
the pope, the British press today
answered mo" to his proposals
looking toward ending of the
war.
The conditions outlined by His
Holiness are regarded as indicat-
ing a stronger trend of German
Inspiration than the unofficial
outline.
England was frankly surprised
that the pope should place the
armies of Germany and the allies
on an absolute plane, there being
no WORD of censure, no protest
against the Belgian horrors, no
mention of expecting from Ger
many some statement that would
give the allies guarantees that
such agreements as His Holiness
suggests might not in the future
would be declared scraps of pa
per" and thrown aside.
"The whole world recognizes
that the honor of the armies of
both sides is SAFE" the pope as
serts.
The honor of the army which
invaded Belgium, which massacred
women and children, which shot
Edith Cavelle. which deported
helpless men and women into
slavery. which ruthlessly devas-
tated the rich fields and orchards
OF France i'm its recent strategic
retreat" is therefore put on a
level with the honor of the army
of France and England, fighting

walked across an iron floor be-
low which the roaring, oil-fed,
ore-filled furnaces belched their
hot breath into the stack.
Not all of stack, Ire it un-
derstood, sticks up into the air.
More of it curled up in intri-
cate kinks inside the plant like a
snake with the stomach-ache, and
the smoke has to travel back and
forth, back and forth, along the
huge bore, depositing toll at every
turn in the shape of "flue-dust. "
My guide kicked a metal door

'It's full up to there now" he
said. Every 10 days we have

his toe he stirred the feathery,
impalpable, gray-black dust in
which we stood-dust just the
color of smoke.
They did many things to this
dust. First they roasted 1t in a
little volcano of brick furnace,
and 1t came out black.
Then they roasted II again, at

Then they fed 1t down big pipes

tional honor and against an au-
tocracy that threatened to engulf
the world. England refuses to
regard the honor of such armies
In the same light.
If the views of the press and
public represent the keynote of
sentiment, it may be taken for
granted that the reply of the al
les will be respectful rejection.
The text of the pope's appeal
was regarded as more pro-German
and anti-ally than the advance
notices indicated.
The reference to freedom of the
seas is regarded as adoption Of
the German contention of this
point.
