Of real treasure, and should have a
very far.reaching result.
Il feel that too mitch is made of my
own part in the American endeavor
by addressing all these letters to me
personally, for really the thanks
should go to the American people.
There is, however, something wy
beautiful and inspiring in the thought
underlying them anu for the Ameri-

correspondents heartily.
For some time the School Teach
ers in our country have been orga-
nized on this work of food saving
and excellently they have carried
out their important share Of the
task. They have taught our child
rem to leave no effort returned to
save food with the result that the
whole nation, young and old alike,
are concentrating upon this endea-
vor. Specially have the children of
people of moderate means put for
ward every exertion to this end and
almost to family each of these
children is practising the utmost self
denial. In this great pile of letters

for a second stimulation next year"

ENGLISH CHILDREN
THANK AMERICA
LETTERS fECM MANY OF THEM
BROUGHT BACK BY
HOOVER

New York, Sept, 12"Jenny Jones,
of Cordele, | want to make you ac-
quainted with Alice Brown of Shelf
field, Eng mere is a letter from her
thanking you for saving food that
she need 10 60 hungry. invite you to
write to her.
This, in effect, though perhaps
not by the use of these words, is
the plan adopted by United States
Food Administrator Herbert c. Hoo
yer, to convey the thanks of English
school chilren to the children Of
America for helping him to conserve
food for the benefit of English girls
and boys.
Mr.. Hoover has brought back from
London many thousands of letters
from the British boys and girls and
his plan to send at least one letter
to every public school in the United
States.
The letters were delivered to Mr.
Hoover during his recent visit to
London. Two motor cars were re-
CURED to carry item. Some of them
were written by individuals while
others were signed by the children
Of whole school; so that the total
represented the thanks of hundreds
of thousands of British children.
The Editor of the Teachers
World presented to Mr.. Hoover a
deputation of English school child
rem and told the American Food Adj
ministrator that the letters were
heartfelt expressions of gratitude to
the American nation which had de-
MED itself to provide England with
food
81 will very proudly distribute
these letters among our American
schools" replied Mr.. Hoover. I am
quite sure that they will form one of
the most effective links possible be-
tween the people of the two nations.

HOW INDIANA LOST CITIZEN
Escapade That Caused Youth to Turn
His Thoughts Toward the "WiId
and WooIIy" Region.

Harry Coonse, ranchman and real
estate expert in the far Northwest, re-
turned to Indianapolis from his home
near Seattle after an absence of four
teen years. 1t is not widely known,
but Mr.. Coonse, when a boy of 10,
started In business as helper on a
delivery wagon of L. S. Ayres & Co.
started and ended his dry goods career
in an unusual and interesting manner.
Harry, out of his first months wages,
had bought rifle and a box of car
tridges. One evening in Park avenue
the delivery man went into a house
with a package, leaving Harry on the
drivers seat in charge of what was
common at that time-a Texas mus
tang-well broken, but still worth
watching. Instead of holding the lines
Harry spent the interim handling a
new rife AS often happens, the gun
was discharged and the bullet struck
the mustang Harry made one grab
for the lines, missed, tufnbIed off the
seat and the wagon disappeared down
the street, strewing packages in its
path.
At dawn the next morning the horse
and wagon were found in the Pleasant
run bottoms, near the place where the
furnaces of the Citizens Gas company
now stand. Harry had already re-
signed.-Indianapo News.

Though written four hundred years
ago, Leonardo da Vinci's book on anat-
omy has only recently been published,
and surgeons are only now discovering
the marvels it contains.
Lecturing recently on it in London,
Prof. William Wright pointed out that
when it was written the circulation of
the blood, osmosis, oxygen and the
microscope were all unknown. All doc
tors believed that the arteries were
full of free air.and that the blood was
aerated in the heart. The interior ar
rangement of the heart was also mis-
understood.
But Leonardo denied that air entered
the heart, and wrote that the blood
was refreshed" in the lungs; he de-
scribed accurately the anatomy of the
heart and large blood vessels and the
action of the muscles of the chest and
abdomen in respiration.

eunners Making Glorious Record.

The gunners of the armed guards on
merchantmen have made a record of
which we may be justly proud. The
contests of the Silver Shell, which sent
down the submarine which attacked
it; of the Moreni, on which the men
stayed at their guns until the flames
fiared up to the top of the smokestacks
on the burning ship; of the Campana,
whose gunners fought for hours until
their ammunition was exhausted; of
the J. L. Luckenbach, which, though
under rain of shells, hit nine times
and temporarily disabled, fought a
submarine for four hours, before aid
arrived, and later managed to reach
port under her own steam; of the Ar
menia, which, though torpedoed, was
saved through the courage and re-
sources of it's captain, crew and armed
guard; of the Navajo, the Mongolia,
the Petrolite and dozen others are
notable enough to be recorded in the
naval history of the time.-Josephus

Spruce Used In AlrpIanes.

Because the government needs all
the spruce for airplanes, the piano
manufacturers of the country are hay-
ing hard time to get sounding boards
for their instruments. Spruce is the
best wood the piano manufacturers can
get for this purpose and they have
used it in immense quantities for
many years.
But sounding boards and airplane
beams call for the same quality of
stock-clear, straight-grained, tough
fibered and free from blemishes. In
their desire to assist the government
in airplane construction the piano
manufacturers have agreed to curtail
their output 80 per cent during the
war. They can get along with the
spruce stock now on hand for some
time, they say. Meanwhile they will
try to find a substitute for spruce. Sew
eral of the big spruce producing mills
In the Grays Harbor district of Wash
ington and along the Columbia river

speciality of piano stock now are Civ

GOOD COOK TO BE ENwED
Always Sure Of Popularity Is the Per-
son Who Can concoct Dishes
That Are Appetizing.

To prove that there is nothing in
trinsically humble or shameful in cook
ing it is only necessary to mention a
hunting or fishing party. The man who
can turn out palatable dish is envied
and lauded. The college girl who can
concoct midnight suppers over can
of frozen alcohol or a gas jet is sure
of popularity. Many of the great of
the earth. have practiced cooking as an
accomplishment. Louis XIV, one of the
EXTREMIST connoisseurs In the art of
living, prided himself on his coffee.
One of the most famous of table sauces
was invented by gentleman of Wor-
cestershire. Many great ladies of the
olden times used to exchange recipes.
Sir Kenelem Digby, an adventurous
and scholarly soul, left a fat volume
full of them, ranging from simple ap-
pie sauce to the most refined elabo-
ration of game.
1t is not even necessary that cook
cry should aspire to the phase called
'fancy" to be artistic. Above all, the
sauce, that idol of the professional
chef, should be dethroned from its bad
eminence. The sauce is the mother of
nightmares. The dish itself and not
its accompaniments, is the thing. Cook
ing is real, cooking is earnest, and the
gravy is not its goal.-Exchange

HAVE TO KNOW MULE NATURE
Drivers of Patient Animals Realize
They Have Peculiarities and
Must Be Humored.

An old f1ea-bitten, hammer-headed.
ewe-necked bell mare, slowly picking
her way across the corral at the re-
mount station at Camp Zachary Taylor,
followed by long string of mules
walking in single file, heads down and
ears wagging, served as illustration
for an officer attached to the big can
tonment who had just finished remark
ing that "horse nature and mule ma
ture and human nature were mighty
contrary things any way you take
them"
'sNow, take those mules,' he said.
saThe education of pack mule is
thing that must begin early. He has
just two purposes in life.
zone is to carry 225 pounds day
after day patiently and uncomplain-
ingly, and the other is to follow the
bell mare of the train, regardless OF
where that animal may go. Well, there
is in that corral an illustration of the
effectiveness of our training. The old
mare has started after a drink of
water and there goes every dad-blasted
one of those fool mules after a drink
of water"
Investigation revealed that the pack
mule is not the only member of his
family that has peculiarities that can
be played upon or must be humored.
1t was learned that the larger mules,
once teamed up or paired, must there
after be worked together if each is not
to suffer a loss in efficiency. Two
strange mules will not work together
anything like so well in the beginning
as they will a few weeks later, after
they have become well acquainted, and
then if they are parted the whole
process must be gone over with again.

the least thing have ever undertaken,
exactly the same attention and care
that have bestowed upon the great

was but last year that l set to and
learned every word of my Readings,
and from ten years ago till last night
1 have never read to an audience but

the work is very hard. Dolby (his

has gone off boldly this morning with
defiant written instructions from me
to inform the said mayor that if he fail
