thus releasing trained nurses for mil
itary service. Able bodied young
women are urged to volunteer for
nurses training and should feel this
call to service as nurses as strongly
as our best young men have felt the
call to fight for them. Miss Marie
White is the one Putnam county
woman to enter the service so far.
There is a large supply of hospital
garments on hand now, to be made
up at once. Mrs. Peter Jared, super
visor, urges that women come to the

BEEF RATION

Phe following regulations ON the
use of beef are now in force:
(a) No boarding house., hotel res
taurant or public eating place shall

beef more than two meals weekly:

weekly
(b) Householders shall not, under
any circumstances, buy more than
one and one-quarter pounds Of clear
beef weekly, or one and one half
pounds, including the bone, per per-
son in the household
The demands for beef for our ar
my and our allied armies and their
civilian populations this summer are
beyond our surplus. On the other
hand we have enough increased sup
ply of pork to permit commercial ex-
pansion in its use. 1t will therefore
be direct service to our armies and
the allies. if our people would, in
some degree, substitute fresh pork.
bacon. hams and sausage for beef
products.
The above instructions are manda-
tory. No option is allowed any one
subject to them. 1t will be the duty
of all county food administrators,
deputies, hotel representatives and
loyal citizens to report any violations
in order that the drastic penalties of
the Food Control Act may be inv0k--
ed against the Offenders.

years., ,3S3, ,2s6,045 Additional con
tracts totaling $1,503, ,703, TAI have beer
entered into on the authority of con.
gress pending appropriation Of an
amount aggregating $1,671, ,466, $50.
The magnitude of the task of the
ordnance department financially is EVIL
denced by the disbursement recently In
single day Of more than 5000, 900
on ordinary contract vouchers. Dis
bursements for the month of April,
1918 ran to 1856, 1874 1858, an interesting
amount as compared with the $685.
264 disbursed by the ordnance depart
ment in April, 1917. These disburse-
ments were made at the ordnance Of
fee in Washington. Amounts dis
bursed at government arsenals are not
included.
One check recently drawn by the ord
nance disbursing officer for ordnance
material was for $18.750OOO. One re-
QUESTION made recently by this same
officer on the treasury was for $160,-
100000. This is the largest single requi-
sition ever made by any United States
disbursing officer
Prior to two months ago, before the
ordnance department established its IL
district offices which zoned the country
to expedite payments to contractors
and relieve the strain upon the main
Office In Washington, the disbursing
officer at Washington signed from 500
to 5000 checks day.

at each Of the training camps, advising
and assisting the division gas officer.
All the men going overseas are sup
piled with gas helmets. Under the d.
vision gas officers and their assistants,
the men are drilled in the use Of
masks, taught how to detect the pres
ence Of gas, and given actual experi-
ence with different sorts of gases.
Mimic gas shells and cloud attacks,
used often at night In connection with
high explosives, help to make the train
Ing realistic.
The United States has been able to
build on the experience Of the British
and French. to whom gas attacks were
unknown when they entered the war.
No American troops have been sent to
the front without practical experience
in defending themselves against gas.
The training Of instructors in gas de-
Tense includes course Of about one
month. Most of the gas officers are
commissioned first lieutenants.

If this county buys her quota of
War Savings Stamps by Jan. /, 1919,
there will have to be ten times as
much work done in the next six
months as has been done in the past
six. Other counties in the state are
pledging their FUN quotas, and Put

work. This is not a child's game by
any means, but it will take more
hustling by experienced and ener-
getic men and women, and will be
worth more to the masses of the peo-

sided location Of the driving en-
CINE of the body may have some
effect upon the guiding mechanism.
We see In all natural phenomena
the enormous Importance OF a deli
cate balance. or an eccentric dis
position of the parts, leads to the
most unexpected results.
But there is still another infu-
ence at work tending to make
things that move in a circle round
to the left, if they are on the north
side of the earth's equator, and
this is the rotation of the globe on
its axis. ] would by no means as
sert that this curious force is re-
sponsible for the peculiarities Of
animal locomotion that we have
been talking about, and yet, almost
infinitely slight as its influence
must be in such cases, that influ-
ence certainly exists, and you are
at liberty to imagine, if you like,
that delicately organized system
NAV unconsciously yield to it.
The force in question operates in
opposite directions in the two
hcmispheres, swaying moving OBJ
jects to right in the northern
hemisphere, and to the left in the
southern. This may seem a fiat
contradiction of what has been
said above concerning the tendency
to turn to the left north Of the
equator, but little consideration
will show how a righ-hand shift
produces left-hand circling. This
is best seen in the case Of cyclonic
motions of the atmosphere, which
swing round to the left, or against
the hands of clock. in the north
ern hemisphere, although the de-
Election produced by the earth's TO-
tation is toward the right.
Make a diagram of a complete
circle or in-blowing winds tending
toward a common center, and each
diverted to the right, and you will
see at once now the combination
of riCht-hand reflections produces
a left-hand circlinC of the entire
system of winds. in ali imaginary
application of this force to explain
the left-hand circling of a lost man
in the woods, which / suggest SIM
ply because of its theoretical in
terest, we NAV suppose the right
hand "thrnw" of the rotary force
to be instinctivelv resisted by the
muscles so that the footsteps are
gradually curved away in the other
direction, the resistance assuming
the function of the raised outer
rail ON ! railroad curve.
