Patriotic to Eat Coconuts.

Is coconut pie an essential? the Wall
Street Journal wants to know. No,
but gas masks are. It is a far cry
from coconut pie to gas masks, but
we are enabled to indulge our appe-
tites in the one and supply the other
through a single operation.
Gas masks contain a certain brand
of charcoal which is an absorbent Of
poison gas, and it has been found that
the rind of coconuts, when burned, pro-
duces charcoal superior to all others.
For this reason the government has
placed the humble coconut on the list
of essential products and our friends
on the island of Porto Rico are urged
to ship as many as they can. !.
0 When eating a piece Of coconut pie
or any other delicacy containing coco
nut you are enabled to do so with an
easy conscience. The charcoal made
from the shell Of the coconut you eat
may be saving the life Of an American
soldier somewhere IN France"

England Breeds Rabbits for Food.

Rabbit breeding in England has been
undertaken by the government in an
effort to relieve the shortage Of meat
due to the war.
The National Utility Rabbit assoc
citation, it was announced recently, has
established central breeding station
and stud exchange in. Vauxhall, Lon
don. The first club started in London
under auspices Of the association is at
the Royal news, Buckingham palace.
The primary object is to build up as
quickly as possible a large supply Of
the best pedigreed stock, which will be
sent to provincial breeding centers.
These in turn will supply breeding
stock to smaller stations.
Each of the larger provincial centers
will have 100 breeding does. while the
smaller stations will keep on hand
about 20 each. 1t is the hope of Off
Gals that all allotment societies, food
production organizations, women's in
stitutes and many factories, munition
works, school and summer camps will
form rabbit clubs to be affiliated with
the national association.

and ever again hold the respect of
their fellow citizens. Ever and always
they and their families carry the

We have heard and read Of men

failure to acquit themselves as desira-
BILE citizens should. We have heard
and read of tar-and- featherings and
lynchings for disloyalty. But all Of
these cases sink into insignificance as
examples of revulsion Of feeling on

placed themselves and their families.

sANDBAGS SAVE MANY LIVES
Italian Authorities Must Be Given
Credit for ResourcefuIness In
ss Modern Warfare.

B No belligerent has shown more re-
sOurcefulness than the Italians in de-
vising novel means of offense and de-
Tense, says a writer in Wide World
Magazine. The Italian army was the
only one to enter the war with trench
helmet and a steel chest protector, and
it is noW>provided with more efficient
body shield than is possessed by any
other of the warning nations.
EARLY in the war it was discovered
by the Italians that many lives could
be saved in skirmishing at close quar-
tiers if the soldiers carried or pushed
bags Of sand in front of them, and the
present body shield has been an out
growth Of that idea.
They are made in the one-man and
two-man type. The former are worn
by infantry advancing in the open, at
tached to the shoulders by a pair Of
light steel arms, and are long enough
to protect the head and vital organs of
a man standing erect. Lying at full
length, or even crouched, it covers him
completely. Each shield is pierced with
a small, round eyehole and an oblong
loophole for firing from, both Of which
may be closed by a sliding door when
not in use.
The .two-man shield is principally
used in wire cutting. It is carried on
the back of one man, who may also
work his rifle from a loophole in the
top, while a second man works a long
wire-cutter through hole.at the bot
tom. It is held up by short legs if the
first man desires to move independt
emily.
