NOW THE BRAY-LESS MULE.

NEW YORK, March PA despatch
from France says that the Americans have
taken up French veterinary practice, cX-
tracing the bray from the mule by a
Sigh; surgical operation on the nose, 50
that the silvery bray, which can be heard
a mile or two upon silent nights at the
front, will become harmless wheeze, not
enough to awaken the enemy and draw
his she'll fire.
Every army mule that goes to France
to help win the war is betrayed when
he gets there Formerly whenever the

Inside Flower Fax.

So many people fail TO recognize the
decorative qualities to be found in the
use of the all-year-round flower boxes.
And there is no doubt at all that flow
ers make room look more coy and

the sort of flowers which will grow
well in your window, and consult a
carpenter about making the necessary
window box. Your room will be more

State Institu. lions.

Inc reports OF the VdIlOSS state III
situations for the month discuss the
manner in which the recommends
tons of the federal food administra-
ton are being followed. At the in
dustrial school at Vermont there are
regularly three meatless days week
and some weeks they have four meat
less days. AS substitutes for meat
fish is used on two days, vegetables
the third day and occasionally mac
aroni on the fourth day. For two
weeks previous to the 5000 order
and ever since, the school has been
using the other cereals in substitu-
ton for wheat to the extent of 50fc
For one whole week corn bread was
sugar has been curtailed so that only
about two-thirds of the amount form
erly used is now being consumed.
At the state hospital the consump-
ton of wheat -four has been reduced
to about SOC of what it was before
the use of substitutes was COM
menced To quote the report of the
superintendent: The National Food
Administration has asked for bread
containing 20co cereals other than
wheat We have found in our eX-
| periments that using ordinary white
| hominy feed we can use as high as
25co and still get very satisfactory
bread. This bread is palatable, OF
| good texture and nutritious" The
consumption of wheat -four is also re-
duced by the use of oat products
graham, rye -four, corn meal and
bucllwheat -four. There has been q
saving in sugar of 1900 pounds {
month.
At the school for Predetermined a
Brandon the children have been hav
ing IS wheatIess and II meatles!
meals a week, which is compensated
by the much more extensive use o
milk of which the institution has ;
large quantity The consumption 0
sugar has been reduced to two pounds
per person per month.
The problem of conservation at tn
state prison and house of correction
is particularly difficult as there tn
most of the inmates are performing
manual labor, and thus require plent
of substantial food. At the state pris
on in bread making $50 of whit
-four is used. For breakfast and sup
pers other breads than wheat brea
are used so that the consumption c
white -four is not over 50cc of tn
normal consumption in the past. Dur
ing the last three months the ayerag
| consumption of sugar for 200 person
4 has been 364 pounds Of granulated ali
n 134 pounds of brown sugar per month
T an average of 21a pounds per perso
il per month of brown and granulate
combined
For some time bread had been til
main item of food at the house of col
: rection and consequently substitl
/ ton has been difficult. Howev'
= since the federal order an attempt

of cereals for the substitutes the pc
centage has not been axactly reacht

Sage holds services or supplies the
leaders for service in all of these. Be-
sides these there is the work among
the colored people in the parish of St.

with a Peoples Institute has been Civ
en- mighty impetus by the Bishop of

among this race will be felt even
though he is absent. The work was
put on a splendid footing, and DR.. Sage
reserves much credit for it.
A Bit of Personal Interest.
A little bit of personal history is di-
vulged in the following from The Wit

friends of the bishop-elect both in Keo-

former parishes:

with what Mr.. Rose has to say, the
news editor Of The Witness may state.
with some interest to our readers, that
Grace church, Cleveland, will have
given three bishops to the church in
the United States when DR.. Sage Is
consecrated. The other two were the
late bishop of Mississippi, the Rt. Rev

bishop of Quincy, the Rt Rev. Fred

says Mr.. Rose, can take pride in the
fact that another Cleveland man,
born and bred in our city, has been
elected bishop of the Protestant Epis-

of the house of bishops, held in Chi
