SEE DEER AS FOOD SUPPLY
tlcated and Raised Like the
Ordinary Live Stock.

There has been advocated the
scheme of raising deer as a source OF
meat supply In this country. 1t Is be-
lieved that deer farming could be
made as profitable as any other live
stock industry.
1t has been pointed out that the Vir-
ginia deer and the Rocky mountain elk
are best suited for this purpose. Elk
have been acclimatized in many parts
Of the world and everywhere they
show the same vigor and hardness.
They adapt themselves to almost any
environment and their increase under
dolnestication Is equal to that Of ordi-
nary cattle.
It Is contended that there are large
areas Of rough land In the United
States, like the Ozarks and the Allie
ghany regions, where elk could be
probably raised. The Virginia deer
Is adaptable to almost all parts of this
country and thrives on land unsuited
to- horses.

BAR VISITORS AT CAMP
No Civilians Allowed at Grant After
s p NJ SATURDAY..

Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill.,, Aug 16-
Camp Grant will be closed to all civil
ian visitors for a period of ten days
after retreat, p. m. on Saturday, Au-
gust L. Announcement of the unex-
pected closing of the reservation was
made at division headquarters as the
result of late war department orders
and will be rigidly enforced. Neces-
sity for the closing order lies in the
all-important reorganization of Black
hawk units, brought to their full
strength in the last month through the
heavy recruiting campaign. The reor-
ganization requires incessant work on
the part of every officer and enlisted
man, and the additional intensive
training of the recruits who will be
compelled in few weeks time to ac-
quire the efficiency of seasoned SOL
diers.

PERSHING'S MEN MAY VOTE
Illinois Attorney General Asks War
Department to Act.


Department to Act.
Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 16.-Effort is
being made whereby Illinois soldiers
in France may vote in the coming
state elections. Announcement to this
effect was made by Attorney General
Brundage. who said he had requested
the war department to allow the men
to cast their ballots.
The Reason Why.
This difference in the complexion Of
people is due to the varying amount of
pigment or coloring material in the
cells of which the skins of all animals
are made. Very light people have very
little pigment; very dark people, those
with dark eyes and black hair, have q
great deal of this coloring material
In their cells.
A great many people are neither
light nor very dark. They have less
than the dark complexioned people
and more than the light complexioned
people. When the hair turns gray
it is because the pigment has disap-
peared. AS this is due to the loss of
this cOloring material, dark complex
ioned people turn gray sooner than
light complexioned people. The struc-
ture of the skin showing how these
cells are made in layers can be seen
by examining the skin with q micro
scope.

GRAND SCALE
Huns Retire Over Seven-Mile
Front Between Albert
and Arras.
FRENCH AND BRITISH WIN
Petain's Troops Gain Control Along
Thiescourt and Lassigny Heights
canadians Take Viii
lagos Near Roye.

London, Aug. 16.-Indications of a
possible German retirement on a grand
scale-perhaps as great as the famed
Hindenburg withdrawal-are contain
ed in various reports. semi-official and
otherwise, received here.
Dispatches from British headquar-
ters show that the enemy has fallen
back to a considerable depth over the
six or seven-mile front between Albert
and Arras
Huns Retreat in Flanders.
Added to this comes advices declar-
ing that up in Flanders the enemy has
pulled back his lines over a nine-mile
front to a depth of one and two miles.
This, however, has not been con-
firmed.
At the extreme end of the Picardy
battle line the French have made fur
ther progress on the Thiescourt
heights, and to the east of the Disc,
constituting a greater menace to Noy-
on, and making a withdrawal in this
quarter more likely.
Retreat Specialist in Charge.
Moreover, q report from Paris de-
clares that Gen. Won Boehn, known as
a master Of the strategy and tactics of
retreat, has been placed in charge of
the German forces operating I'm Pf-
cardy.
In this connection it is pointed out
that the great Hindenburg retreat was
preceded by just such local withdraw
ais as are taking place now. In well
informed quarters the announcement
of a complete readjustment of the Ger
man lines, perhaps from Reims to the
sea, would not come as a surprise.
Win Local Successes.
Meantime the French in the south
and the Canadians to the north are
pounding steadily at selected points
and registering gains by local attacks.
Along the Thiescourt and Lassigny
heights the French have gained almost
complete control of this critical
ground, and a bit to the east have ex-
tended their lines about a mile or SO
north and east OF Ribecourt. They also
have gained footing in the Ours
champs forest, which protects NoyOn

The Canadians have taken the vii
lagos of Damery and Farvillers, a
short distance northwest of ROye, ac-
cording to Field Marshal Haig's Off

southeast of Proyart, just south of
the Somme, has been advanced a short
distance.
