What Sacrifices Mean.

Everyone who returns from Europe
implores the American people to
realize that so far, we have no idea of
the privations that are being endured
by the people 10 the stricken coun-
tries, says the NeZ Perce Herald.
Think of being unable TO mend ones
clothes because spool of thread cost
a dollar. Think Of cooking ones
food, and then pouring water into
the kettle in which it was cooked and
cooking the kettle that nothing be
wasted. And ii this is not bad enuf
think of having no food to cook ard
no kettle to put it in, unless some
kind person should give it. These
are the hardships that are being
endured in Flanders and France.
Professor Stoughton Holborn, of
Oxford, told Washington, D. G.
audience q week ago that the English
woman who appears 10 new dress
apologies for doing so, and that bis
first impression 10 this country was OF
eXtrauagance aud waste 10 food and
clothing. "Only three quarters Of a
pound of butter has come into my
British home in the last three
months," he says.
A year ago one of the Y. M. G. A.
speakers assured us that "Americans
have not begun to learn the meaning
of the word sacrifice Anyone who
has food to eat, even the plainest,
and fuel to burn, and clothes enough
| to keep warm, ought TO celebrate
Thanksgiving Day every morning"

PORTO RICANS SAVE .:

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico.-After effecting a saving of from fifty to sixty thousand barrels of flour snd 100000 pounds of biscuits and crackers for the United States, cur allies, and cutting down the ;Sl.n d consumption of beef by 3,70O head of cattle, besides the saving in pork, mutton and packers products in gen. eral, wheatless and meatless days in Porto Rico have come to an end, the food commission having adopted resolution recently abolishing them.
 The commissions decision in re- gard to wheat was taken m view of the vastly increased supply at the disposal of the country 5 the result of this years great crop.
 Corn bread failed to make much headway as popular foot in Poceo Rico. Apparently few bakers d cooks knew how to prepare r sat isfactorily, generally turning out a heavy, soggy article that could scarcely be called appetizing. So the return to wheat bread will be welcomed.

PRESIDENT URGES VOTERS ID ELECT
 THE DEMOCRATS
Head of Nation Urges People Support the Democratic Party In tho
 Elections.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In issuing an appeal to the American people today, urging their support of the Democratic party, President Wilson said that if they approve of the course he is pursuing in this critical period in the history of the nation, they should return a Democratic congress in the November elections.
 The return of a Republican ma jority in the coming elections, he said, would certainly be interpreted by the nations of Europe, and es- pecially by the enemy nations, as a repudiation of his leadership and may hamper the peace negotiations to some extent.
 He said he would accept the coun- try's verdict without cavil, but an adverse verdict in the form of a return of a Republican majority to congress would seriosuly impair his power to administer the great trust assigned him.

GOVERNOR RIGGS WILL NOT ADMIT
 EPIDEMIC HERE
Stringent Measures Taken By Riggs Is Protested By Seattle
 Shipping Men.

SEATTLE.-Govern Riggs, of Alaska, has cabled to the steamship companies operating steamers to Alaskan ports that influenza patients will not be permitted to land in Alaska under any circumstances, and requested them to carefully examine all passengers seeking passage for Alaskan ports.
 The shipping people resent the drastic action of our governor to some extent and think that people who have embarked aboard Alaska bound boats and who develop the disease after embarkation, should be allowed to enter Alaskan hospitals.
 The officials of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, in complaining of the stringent measures enforced under orderSs o1 the governor, clte as an instance of the hardship the measure involves, the case of a member of the crew of the steamer Admiral Farragut.
 The man was ill with influenza and was consequently refused per mission to land at Seward, Valdez and Cordova, and is, they think, probably still aboard the boat and has received no medical care unless a doctor happens to be among the passengers on the boat. It is pre- stunned that the Admiral Farragut, although a passenger boat, carries no surgeon.

 A resumption of active hostilties was not altogether unlocked for and during the past several days sharp skirmishes have been frequent be- tween reconnoitering parties from the opposing armies.
