SCHEVERS LAID
IN THE GRAVE
Funeral Of the Dead Soldier Was
Strictly Private This Morning
at the Home Of His
Sister,

The funeral of Leo D. Schevers, the
soldier who died of consumption in
New Mexico, was held this morning
at O'Clock from the home OF his sis
ter, Mrs. Herman .Azinger 925 Elk
change street.
The funeral was private and strict
ly limited to his relatives of his i'm
mediate family.
Tha services were conducted by
Rev James w. Gillespie and Rev.
Father Phillips, of st. Peters church.
The pallbearers were Edward kavan-
agh. Phillip c. Finn. Henry II. Pay
ton, Joseph H. Mcnamara, Thomas
McAndrew and Albert Winkler.
Preparations had been made in de-
tail for very large military funeral
under the auspices of the Knights OF
Columbus with the Ells and Keokuk
citizens participating, but these were
all vetoed by the influenza epidemic
orders.

exhaustion the whale will breed back.
But modern steam whaling is so ami
hilating that it will not leave enough
whales to breed back.
The determination of the man.
moths Of the sea would be lement-
able loss to mankind.
Steam whaling and the business of
converting every part of the whale
into commercial products is one OF
the profitable industries OF British
Columbia. 1t would be reasonable to
suppose that the whaling companies
would be in favor Of prolonging their
profitable business by the conserva-
ton of the whales. This conservation
would have to be one of the larger
movements of the kind, which have
international scope, like the sealing
laws and the proposed agreement be
tween the United States and Canada
to conserve the halibut by closed
season.

CANADA MUCH WORSE OFF
Her Sugar Ration Is rs Per Cent Less
Than That Of Our People.

Official information received by o. s.
Food Administrator J. F. Deems indi-
Gates that food regulations in Canada
are more strict than those of the
United States, and the food officials
severely punish those who violate
them.
All dealers and manufacturers of
food products are licensed and are
obliged to display their license num-
Ders.
The sugar shortage affects Canada
rs well as all the other allies, and
Canadians are given less sugar than
we are. Private houses are requested
to use only one and one-half pounds of
sugar per person per month. They
are allowed to have Is days supply
on hand, but are forbidden to use
any of it for icing cakes or making
homemade candy.
Bakers and biscuit makers are not
allowed to use any sugar for icing
cakes or biscuit of any kind.
In selling flour, grocers must sell
one pound of substitutes with four
pounds of -four. Originally the law
demanded the sale of one pound of
substitutes with only two pounds Of
flour, but owing to the scarcity of
substitutes 1t had to be changed. Sub
stitutes are hard to get in Canada !;
nearly all of them have to be imported.

HOW TO FEED
A MULTITUDE
Pittsburgh Mess Sergeant Had Chunk
Of Bread and Mess Of Stew for
all Who Were
Hungry.

WITH THE AMERICANS NEAR
CHATEAU-THIERRY, Sept. 17.-(By
Mail. )-That ambulance unit from
Pittsburgh has a mess sergeant who
is a genius. Nobody knows how he was
able to feed SO many people with the
supplies he received, but he did it, and
questions aren't asked after a. thing is
done.
The ambulance unit was host to
everyone who came along hungry for
q couple of weeks after the Americans
entered Chateau-Thierry. When the
unit moved in it toow a house near
the cross roads for headquarters. The
sergeant established his kitchen in
the garden at the SIDE
The Germans did not leave any food
in Chateau-Thierry. and units that
came into the town brought food for
their personnel only AS the fighting
moved up the line there came a con-
tinual stream of casuals going through
the ruined city on the way to their
outfits fighting up front.
There weren't any restaurants any
where. so these extras" got the hab-

who came along.
Nope, we don't get any extra ra-
tons for them" said the mess SER
geant of the unit from Pittsburgh,
But 1t doesn't make any difference.
We put all we have in the stew. and
as long as there is any left, anybody's
welcome to it."
1t usually lasted until\ everybody
was satisfied. thanks to the way the
mess sergeant and his cooks figured
it out.
Then the refugees who had been
driven out of Chateau-Thierry by the
Germans started coming back. Every
thing they had owned was looted by
the Germans and their houses were
battered down by artillery. When 1t
came to l-times they were hungry.
and looked on at the kitchen of the
Pittsburgh unit hungrily.
The mess sergeant saw them and in
vited them in for chunk of bread
and plate of stew" The refugees ate

the lawn, old and young French refu-
gees, doughboys, officers, army work

Some asked the mess sergeant
how he made food go far enough for
fifty to hundred extra every meal.
"Just making the most Of what we
have" he said, "If feeding peoples
going to help lick Germans. were go
ing to feed people"
The example of the Pittsburgh unit
was one of the many pretty illustra-
tons OF good fellowship made greater
by the common purpose of the great
offensive. AS one doughboy put it,
You forget all about yourself when
you get lost in one Of these often
