Salute The Flag.

Off with your hat as the flag goes by!
And let the heart have its say;
You're man enough for tea rim your eye
That you will not wipe away.
You're man enough for tear in your eye
To your very finger tips
Ay! the lump just then in your throat that rose
Spoke more than your parted lips.
Lift up the boy on your shoulder high,
And show him the faded shred,
Whose stripes would be as red as the sunset sky
If death could have dyed them red.
Off with your hat as the flag goes by!
Uncover the youngsters head;
Teach him to hold it holy and high
For the sake of the sacred dead.
&C. S. York.

Concerning Snakes.

Poisonous snakes have diamond
shaped heads about four times larger

cording to World Wide Magazine.
They also have blunt tails. Non
poisonous snakes have sharp heads
which are nearly the same size as the
neck, and sharp tails. All snakes
however, are poisonous during th'
shedding" period OF seven days
They go blind two days before "shed'
ding"

Maritime Miscellany.

One Of the minor and yet exceeding
ly important articles entering into the
construction Of wooden ship Is the
"knee." A ship knee Is q rght-angled
wooden brace used to give strength to
the framing and is fashioned from the
natural crook Of tree formed by a
heavy, shallow, horizontal root and q
section of the trunk. Knees when I'm.
ished are sometimes as much as six or
seven feet high and many Of them are
four feet high. The tremendous impe-
tus to wooden shipbuilding brought
about by the war has resulted in the
establishment Of a sawmill at Port
land, Ore, designed exclusively for the
finishing of ship knees. The timber
preferred is second-growth Douglas
fir, found growing in shallow soil, so
that the roots turn of at right angles
to the trunk and thus give the proper
shape. A tract Of timber that will pro-
duce five to seven knees per acre is
considered q good location for camp.
The standardized wooden ship requires
some two hundred knees Of all sizes,
while another type Of wooden ship, also
under construction, requires more than
one hundred and sixty knees. In addi-
tion to the production Of knees by the
special sawmill at Portland. various
operators are also getting out knees by
the old-fashioned method of hand hew-
ing in the woods.-National Lumber
Manufacturers Association.

The Best Food in the World.

Milk Is the nearest approach to q per-
feet human food, and It 'is by far the
best food for children. Children must
have milk in order to develop properly,
and all persons of whatever age need 1t
in order to keep in proper condition.
The advice Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture is: "Save on
other things if you can, but not on milk,
your child's best food"
Children who do not get milk, but are
given tea and coffee instead, are for the
most part sickly. There are always
many sick children in cities and in
countries where milk is scarce. When
prices 90 up and mothers begin to
eoonomize on milk, more children be.
come sick. That Is one of the things
that, under any and every condition, the
Government regards IL as essential to
guard against. Food must be saved to
feed the army and money must be saved
to finance the war, but the Nations
children who in q little while will be the
Nations men and women must be given
their opportunity for health and strength
incidentally, the liberal use of milk does
save meat and other transportable foods
Children, in larger measure thar
grown persons, require lime. 1t is need
ed, particularly, for their bones and
teeth, and in smaller quantities for their
blood and other parts of their bodies
Milk is the chief food for lime. A cur
of milk contains approximately four
times as much lime as an egg. 1t Is the
cheapest food for lime.
Milk is also an excellent food for body
building protein. In that respect 1t Il
like eggs and meat. Milk protein II
especially good for children, but 1t II
good for and should be used by every
body.
Mix, In addition, is an excellent fue
food. Children, who are much more
active than adults, need more fuel Il
burn iu their bodies to help them run ant
ulay and work. The fat and the mill
sugar burn up as fuel. A quart OF mill
gives the same amount of fuel a.
pound of lean meat. A quart OF mill
gives the same amount of fuel as eigh
eggs. Milk, even ct advanced cost, i
the cheapest fuel food. Take pencil
and make little comparison In cents.
Whole milk, Of course, is the bes
food. But skim milk is good food, too

German Morale
Plainly Ebbing;
Distrust Rulers

LONDON, Aug. REUTERS cor
respondent at British headquarters in
France in telegram Gated Monday
night at 8:55 o'clock, says;
"The ebbing of the German morale
resulting from recent events has been
noticeably hastened by the great in
flux of American troops. In this par
ticular regard, the German high com
mand is paying the penalty Of con-
cealment and misrepresentation. The
in the battle line of pow
erful American forces and the strik-
ing proof of their splendid fighting
quality gives the lie direct to all Ger
man official bombast which no ex-
planning can minimize. Moreover, it
proves the futility of all the tall talk
about the success of the German sub
marine warfare.
Distrust is rife in the enemy ranks
and under such conditions the ten
dency is to exaggerate their misfor-
tunes. They discredit Ludendorff's S
statements Md seem gloomily con-
scious that Germany is suffering de-
feat and that the truth is being con-
cealed from them"
