SITTING OUT THE SLACKERS
Hospital Assistant, Threatening to
Cook Alive One Patient to Obtain
Grease, Reduces Slick Call.

Stories of how to outwit impostors
who report sick In order to loaf In hos
pitfalls are among the oldest traditions
of the medical branches Of all Aries,
says a writer In medical journal. A
fourteenth-century collection of anec-
dotes shows that the malignerer was
known In those days and Cardinal de
Bari. who had q hospital at Verceil.
found Its resources were being ex-
hausted by men Of this type. He sent
one OF his subordinntes to Investigate.
This man. PetriliO BY name. who was
something Of a humorist. dressed him
self In the robes of a physician and
assembled all the patients for an ex.
animation of their wounds. Then
he gravely said: There is clearly
but one remedy needed for the cure Of
ulcers of this character. and that Is an
ointment made OF human grease. This
very day I intend, in consequence, to
draw by lot one from among you, who
will be plunged alive into boiling wa
ter and cooked for the salvation Of
ALL" Seized by fear. all the patients
made haste to report themselves fully
recovered from their ulcers, and con-
sequently there was room in the hos
pital for those who really needed
care.
Physicians today. by the use Of sim
liar ruses, have discovered many "hos-
pital slackers."

BIC HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
ssrvatien Measurss.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to q
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
OF cattle were appropriated. This ad-
dition virtually safeguardsd Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer
In England some 2.400.O00 acres Of
grass lands have by compulsory meas.
utes been forced into grain production
thus reducing pasturage md hay lands
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England. as follows: For September
s17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
SIZES; November and December,
Sl60S. and for January. $l4.40. The
evident intent of this measure WAS to
drive the beef animals Into market aa
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle OF France have decreased to
a total OF l2.34l 800 as compared with
14.SO7 900 In 1913. To-day. due to lack
of forage principally. France II pro-
ducing only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-hslf gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
minlstration has taken steps to con-
serve our locks and herds and to In
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers Of this country show q disposition
TO cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years II has been . prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
OF this country to kill male calves At
birth and In many Instances the 70
males II not needed to replsnish their
herds rather than go to the expense Of
maturing them Into veal The high
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact II rs per cent Of
calves killed for veal this year ware
males.

the wars OF the world have been won
with grease. meaning that bacon and

The hogs Of Europe have been very

PINTO BEAN HELPS OUT.
Forty-one Million Pounds Contracted
for by Government

o. II. Liebers, head OF the Pinto
Bean Division. U. S. Food Admins
tration. has contracted forty-one mil
lion pounds Of beans from growers In
Colorado, New Mexico and adjoining
states. This amount is considered to
be at least so per cent Of total amount
available. Contracts are coming in
daily from growers and all indics-
tions are that the division will get at
least 95 per cent OF the 1917 crop of
Pinto beans still unsold.
One million pounds of extra choice
seed has been stored at the following
points: Denver. Greeley. Trinidad.
Clayton, New Mexico and Albu-
querQue, New Mexico. This seed will
be sold to growers at the $3.50 price
plus local freight. cost OF storage. in
surance and other Incidental ex.
penses. The price should not exceed
$9l5 per cwt. For this, the grower
is getting an unusual quality of dry
land Pinto beans, recleaned and well
sacked.
Last week the Food Administration
had orders for immediate shipment as
follows: so cars to Boston, 30 cars
to New York City. so cars to Philadel-
phia and so cars to Chicago. These
shipments will average $4,000 pounds
per car. The Food Administration
expects to keep moving these beans
as fast as hey can get equipment and
orders for Them from the eastern mar
kets. II should be noted that this is
the first time that Pinto beans have
been shipped to these eastern con
suming centers. After the Food Ad-
ministration gets through placing this
years crop on the market. the east
will be as familiar with the Pinto
bean As IL is with the Navy. This
should practically solve all future
troubles in getting a satisfactory mar
ket for Pinto beans.

 Enid Bennett in '"The Biggest Show on Earth,' has the best play of her career. In this play of circus life, she takes advantage of the many dramatic situations. In the third reel she is about to be torn apart by an infuriated/ /lion but is saved by a canvas man.

For the last half of the week Pauline Frederick in Resurrection" will be one of the big features on the big double photoplay program. The play comes direct from the Bluebird studio and brings back an old favorite in a big western drama.

 "I only wish l could, mother" I re- turned humbly, for I was nonplussed indeed at the failure of my usually re- markable trained memory in this in stance when Lillian so sorely needed it. And my heart was chilled with dread for my friend. I wasn't de- ceived by her careless manner. The precautions she was taking in the matter of the pistol and the guards for the emergency of which she so lightly spoke proved that she recog- nized a very real danger in her errand,

 I took the paper, and, seating my self before a small table, smoothed it out and placed it in front of me. Then for a long time I gazed at it. trying to exclude everything else from my mind save the thought of it. that I might re- member where I had seen similar Chara cters.
 And then bit by bit, it came back to me. I seemed again to be sitting at a restaurant table, opposite a man. who under the stress of a great emotion, was feverishly forming let ters upon the back of the menu card in uncOnciousness of what he was dO- ing. I had wondered then at his fla cility in writing with either hand, and had been especially fascinated in watching the characters he formed with his left hand. The same char acters were before me nowt

 She came swiftly, 8 few moments later, and I had never seen her so tense with suppressed excitement.
 "They are representatives of your father, Madge," she said land I wish you to come back with me at once"
 I hurried through the grounds, aglow with glad excitement for I was beginning to guess what manner of men 1 should find in the "house of mystery"
 I wasn't disa ppointed. As Lillian ushered me into Mrs. Durkee's well remembered library, shutting the door almost in the face of the ubiquitous Jap, my father drew me joyfully into bis arms, while over the elder mans shoulder smaled the earnest, kindly face of pr. Petit.
