BULLDOG PROTECTS CHILD
Faithful Animal Brought Little Mis-.
tress Safely Through PerIIs When
She Was Lost In Mountains.

This is the story of q baby and a
bulldog. Ellen Grimes, aged four
years, put blue ribbon on her
brindle bulldog Bob and came down
the perilous trail to Boulder, Colo,
from her home on the top of Sugar
loaf mountain to tell how she and
her pet spent two days and nights
wandering over mountains, along
precipices and through canons while
a posse of 200 men, headed by a pack
of bloodhounds searched for them.
"Me and Bob jes' went walkin',"
she said. "When I got hungry l
picked berries and ate them. When
| was sleepy I crawled in place un-
der a rock and Bob crawled in after
me-"
Bob's nose was full of porcupine
quilts as evidence of at least one bat
tie fought to save his little mistress.
How often the brindle bull kept be-
tween Ellen and the edge of a preci-
pice, how often he guided her away
from the treacherous holes with
which the mountain sides are pep
pered, how often he saved her life,
Bob alone knows, and Bob won't tell

There is some satisfaction in
knowing that our soldier boys are
the best clothed, the best fed and
the best paid army in the world.
The best English private gets II
cents a day. The French private
2 cents, the Russian about 2 cents,
(when he gets it). The German
and Austrian soldier gets from
10 to IL cents day. The Ameri-
can soldier and sailor gets a dol
lar day and an increase of 20
per cent when on foreign service.
In the foreign armies there is no
chance for a common soldier to
get promoted. Royalty has the
edge there. The American boy in
the ranks us subject to promotion
and aristocracy is not necessary
adjunct to qualification for his
promotion. Besides all this, pro-
visions are being made for sup
plying every American soldier
and sailor with life and accident
insurance.

Many Of the cities of the ranges

BIG COAL SUPPLY IN ALASKA
Cheap Fuel Can Be Obtained for Navy
II Government Opens Up Field In
Far North Promptly.

Responding to the statement that
the United States will require 49,
100000 tons of coal a year for naval
purposes, which Secretary Daniels
recently made, the answer of Alaska
is: eve have the coal /; come and get
it."
The fact is that one of the wisest
measures of preparedness which con-
gress made for the war, as is now
demonstrated, was the provision for
the construction of the railroad to
the Matanuska coal fields, says the
Seattle Post-Intslligencer. That was
a great national project of prepared
ness, the value of which will be fully
appreciated if the government fol-
lows the work promptly and lends
every possible assistance toward get
ting the Matanusks field opened up
to the largest possible production.
The coal from that field will meet
the highest requirements of the navy.
There is an inexhaustible quantity Of
it. The quicker the road is COM
pleted, the mines opened and the
coal being moved to deep water the
better.
The government has been paying
extravagant prices to have coal trans
ported from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific for the use of the feet in Pa
cifc waters, directing to this pur-
pose much tonnage which is needed
greatly on every sea. It is an unnec-
essary expenditure and an unneces-
sary division Of tonnage. The coal
is in Alaska; it can be opened when
terms are made with people who will
lease and open the properties if
given chance to do so; or the gov
eminent might open mines for naval
uses.
As military measure there are
few things which would be of greater
value to the country at this time
than the opening Of the Alaska coal
fields to immediate use. The navy
needs the coal. The country needs
the coal. Why not 60 and get it?

FROM CAVE LIFE TO ARMY.

Christian J. Bayer, who has been
living for ten years on Santa Cruz
island, off the Santa Barbara Cal
coast, with nothing much to eat ex-
cept mussels, abalones and wild game
he killed with a primitive stone con-
trivance, applied for enlistment in
the United States army at recruiting
headquarters in San Francisco. Bay
er was found to be in fine physical
condition and was sent to Fort Nc
Dowell recruit depot.
Bayer donned his first suit of
clothes since going to the island the
other day when he determined to
come to this city to offer his services
in the war. He said a girdle around
the waist was sufficient clothing in
his cave on the island. He was born
in Denmark thirty-nine years ago
and went to the island to recover lost
health.

Walter J. Smith, who was serv-

he was state treasurer, has been
released after serving eighteen
months, on account OF his having
developed tuberculosis. He is now
at the state hospital receiving treat
ment. He has not been pardoned
and it is said he may be returned
to complete his sentence but 1t is
the general opinion that this will
not be done. The Miner editor
who has known Walter Smith for

the victim of circumstances and OF

nized in Smith opposition to their
plans for political flights. He was

That he was thorn in the side OF

opinion and wires were laid for his

the pardon board will see things in
the proper light and give Walter a
chance to get back into the world
and to his family. He has amply
paid for his mistake.

SAVE FOOD

~"-~-~~~S
bread twenty-four hours in adj
vance so your baker will not bake
beyond his needs. Cut the loaf
on the table and only as required.
Use stale bread for cooking, toast,
etc. Eat less cake and pastry.
Our wheat harvest is far below
normal. If each person weekly
saves one pound of wheat -four
that means 150,OO0,000 more
bushels of wheat for the Allies to
mix in their bread. This will
help them to save Democracy.
Save the Meat.-Beef, mutton
or pork not more than once daily.
Use freely vegetables and fish.
At the meat meal serve smaller
portions, and stews instead of
steaks. Make made-dishes of all
left-overs. Do this and there will
be meat enough for every one at
reasonable price.
We are today killing the dairy
cows and female calves as the re-
suit of high price. Therefore,
eat less and eat no young meat.
If we save an ounce Of meat each
day per person, we will have adj
ditional supply equal to 100000
cattle.
Save the Milk.-The children
must have milk. Use every drop.
Use buttermilk and sour milk for
cooking and making cottage
cheese. Use less cream.
Save the Fats.-We are the
worlds greatest fat MASTERS.
Fat is food. Butter is essential
for the growth and health of
children. Use butter on the table
as usual but not in cooking.
Other fats are as good. Reduce
use of fried foods. Save daily
one-third ounce animal fats.
Soap contains fats. Do not waste
it. Make your own washing soap
at home out of the saved fats.
Use one-third ounce less per
day of animal fat and $4,000
tons will be saved yearly.
Save the Sugar.-Sugar is
scarcer. We use today three times
as much per person as our Allies.
So there may be enough for all
at reasonable price use less
candy and sweet drinks. Do not
stint sugar in putting up fruit
and jams. They will save butter.
If everyone in America saves
one ounce of sugar daily, it
means 100000 tons for the year.
Save the Fuel.-Coal comes
from a distance and railways are
overburdened hauling war mater
ial. Help relieve them by burn
ing fewer fires. Use wood when
you can get it.
Use Perishable Foods.-Fruit
and vegetables we have in abund-
ance. AS nation We eat too lit
tie green stuffs. Double their use
and improve your health. Store
potatoes and other roots properly
and they will keep. Begin now
to can or dry all surplus garden
products.
Use Local Supplies. -Patronize
your local producer. Distance
means money. Buy perishable
food from the neighborhood near
est you and thus save transporta-
ton.
Buy less, serve smaller por.
tions.
Preach the Gospel of the
Clean Plate"
Don't eat fourth meal.
Don't limit the plain food of
growing children.
Watch out for the wastes in the
Community.
Full garbage pals in America
mean empty dinner pals in Amer
lea and Europe.
Ii the more fortunate of our
people will avoid waste and eat
no more than they need, the high
cost OF living problem of the less
fortunate will be solved.
