FINALLY OVERTAKEN BY FATE
Neat Comment Made by Brother
Officer When Informed Of illness
Of Well-knoWn looter.

Lieut.. Ben L. MalOney, who Is q
well-known figure on auto row and
who directed a government motor
truck company in Texas last summer,
tells story of the famous Chinese
Boxer campaign.
"A certain officer In the American
forces failed to preserve the high
reputation Of his corps in the matter
of loOting," said Lieutenant Maloney.
whereas most American soldiers
earned the respect and gratitude Of
the Chinese by the way in which they
refrained from robbing the natives,
this one officer We'd with the Euro
peans In gathering loot. He was es-
pecially partial to ancient brass and
bronze vases and Jars, which in this
country would be Of inestimable value,
and he literally grabbed up every such
curiO he could lay his hands on.
"One day the star lOOter of the
Yankee contingent fell i'll and was
sent to the field hospital. Two fellow
officers were discussing his case
"'What's the matter with Captain
-" inquired one.
"'Oh, suppose he's finally fallen a
victim to verdigris poisoning said the

able vegetables in cool, dry, we'll
aired, and for most vegetables,
dark rather than light places.
Learn how to store potatoes,
cabbage, root crops, fruits. and
other foods so that they will
keep properly for later use.
Don't think that any place in
the cellar or pantry is good
enough to store food.
Heat, dampness, poor ventila-
ton, bruising, or breaking will
rapidly make many vegetables
rot, ferment, or spoil. Warmth
and light make vegetables sprout
and this lowers their quality.
Can or Preserve Surplus
Vegetables and Fruits
When there is surplus of fruits
or vegetables that will spoil if
kept, cook or stew them and
keep them cold and covered for
use in day or two.
Can or preserve all surplus
food from gardens for winter
use. In mornings work with
ordinary home utensils, you can
put up many cans of vegetables
and fruits for winter use. If
you have no garden, watch the
markets. When any fruit or
vegetable that can be canned be-
comes plentiful and cheap, buy
a quantity and can it for home
use next winter.
BE a Food Conservation
Write today to the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture or to
your State agricultural college

keep food in the household and
how to can and preserve all sur
plus fruits and vegetables.
Demonstrate thrift in your
home. Make saving, rather than
spending, your social standard.

That housing the people still lacks

Of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech

bits OF knowledge Is that consumption

by the sick man himself. Infant dis
ease, too, Is not due to the house. chief
causes being ignorance Of the parents,
economic conditions and racial factors.
Considerations Of sunlight and ventila-

reform. Long exposure to sunlight has
effected cures, but just what Is it's spe-
cial influence In homes is yet to be
made known. Professor Gum is in
clined to credit 1t with psychological
value, as the well-lighted house offers
such health factors as cheerfulness, alb
sence Of dirt and inspiration to effort.
The actual value of outdoor air Is q
matter of like uncertainty. Fresh air

Keep your food covered So that
these bacteria and germs will
have as little chance as possible

House flies better called

dirtiest things that enter our
homes. They fly from sewers,

deposit on any food on which
they alight. Frequently germs
of typhoid fever are carried by

Ordinary cleanliness demands
that flies be kept out of our
homes and away from our food.
Health protection makes it es-
sential to Danish flies. Keep all
food covered, or at least screened
from these carriers Of deadly
disease and filth. Destroy flies
by every possible means.
Guard Food Against Vermin-
Rats and mice destroy millions
of dollars worth of food and

CARRYING IT TOO FAR.

A Burlington dispatch relating the
successful divorce suit Of the wife OF
an army officer notes that among other
testimony as to the untitness Of the
aforesaid a. 0. to hold the home job
that he had written a letter from Mex
leo severely criticizing the presidents
foreign policy as applied to our sreaser
brethren below the line. This was in
troduced in court. 1t is the only evil
dence definitely referred to in the dis
patch under discussion. OF course
there may have been and probably was
other evidence offered, but the letter
seems to have attracted the correspond
ent most. Anyway the husband and
officer was separated from the lady
and 800 month alimony.
There is that in this case which gives
pause. Let us stand by the president
certainly let us stand by-but let US
also demand that the grand old Ameri-
tan right &c cuss the president and
all the powers that be shall not consti-
tute grounds for divorce and alimony
along with Cruel and inhuman treat
ment" and "a statutory offense.'
The women of the twentieth century
already have plenty of legal grounds
for divorce suits. The demand should
60 up as in one voice that cussing
out the Wilson policy in Mexico shall
not be good and sufficient grounds for
separation between man and wife.
Anyhow let's stand firm against ali
mony.
What do you know about that? Di-
vorce, the custody of the children and
a fiat hundred a month. Better make
a regular practice to give three cheers
for Wilson when our wives are by.
