Naval and military men of America

ciOus and least known of all such dec
OratiOnS throughout the world When
man is entitled to wear an inconspic-
uOus bronze star pendant from a blue
ribbon on which are Is white stars, it
is certain that he has performed
deed Of almost superhuman fearless
ness. The Medal of Honor is a five
pointed star with a medallion in the
center bearing the head of Minerva
and around it UNITED States of Amer
lea" in relief. On each ray of the star
is an oak leaf, and the points them
selves are trefOil-shaped. A laurel
wreath in green enamel encircles the
whole, and this wreath is surmounted
by the word "Valor," which in turn
is surmOunted by an eagle that at
taches the decoration to its ribbon.

Alcohol May Be Distilled
From Fumes of a Bake-0Ve1

Through the seizure of a still in
bakery in New Mexico, where guam
tity of alcohol was discovered that had
been distilled from bake-oven fumes,
considerable discussion has taken
place concerning the manufacturing of
alcohol as a by-product of bread. The
still was a crudely constructed affair,
the vapor from the bread being con-
Quoted from the oven into a worm,
which was cooled by passing through
barrel of water, condensing the vapor.
The baker was not arrested, as 1t was
clearly shown that no evasion of the
law was intended. However, posses
sion of still is in violation of the law,
and this one was seized by the in
ternal revenue service. The baker
states that alcohol can be manufactur-
ed for war use at very small cost by
army bake shops and bakers in large
cities. The practicability of the plan
remains to be worked out.

FATTENING
TURKEYS

The turkey, being somewhat of a
wild fowl, does not take kindly TO
small pens and is usually fattened on
the range. Birds that are to be mar
keted for the holiday trade are given
all the cracked corn they will eat
twice a day. When freezing weather
comes early and destroys insect life
1t is advisable to furnish some form
Of meat feed, such as commercial meat
scrap, where birds can have easy &C
cess to 1t.
In case local market is to be SUD-
piled it is possible to feed turkeys in
crates. The birds are put in small
crates in quiet, protected building
and fed three times a day on batter
made of cOrnmeal, low grade flour.
meat scraps and a small amount of
bran mixed with buttermilk. This
method is more expensive and only
practical where markets are to be sup
piled. The old range method of fat
tening is more desirable as well as eco
,nomical.
Care should be taken to remove all
breeding stock from the birds select
ed for market, as it is not desirable
that those to be kept over should be-
come too fat.

New Torpedo Catcher" Said
to Illustrate a ShipWreck

A new method of fighting the U-boat
menace is for the attacked vessel to
drop depth charge as the torpedo ap-
proaches. In daylight the wake of the
torpedo can usually be seen quite clear
~. When the depth charge explodes
it either causes the premature explo-
sion of the torpedo or else diverts the
deadly missile from its course. This
was found out quite by accident. A
ships officer, in his excitement one
day, threw depth charge overheard.
It did the trick.-Cassell's Journal.
