FOOD CONSERVATION.

Conservation of food at present
refers mainly to four articles, viz:
wheat, meat, sugar and fat.
We should at all meals serve
bread which is rs per cent some
material other than wheat, such as
potatoes, barley, oatmeal, cornmeal
and rye -four On Wednesdays we
should observe three wheatless
menus. Graham and whole wheat
hours do not act as substitutes for
white -four. Bran is so much need
&c for animals that we should be
very moderate in its use. Remem-
Der macaroni. spaghetti, etc. are
made of wheat, so do not use white
bread when serving them. Use
cornstarch for thickening sauces,
gravies, etc.
The use of meat should be re-
stricted to once daily except on
Tuesdays and then no meat is al
lowed. Veal and lamb are to be
used only when supplied by local
dairymen. Saturday has been set
aside by the government as pork
less. Bake your beans with as
little pork as possible. Be very
sparing in your use of bacon and
ham; these are most convenient for
the army and navy. Use less meat
and more meat substitutes and
meat extenders as often as possible
In the use of sugar we should be
sparing at all times. In cooking
use molasses, honey and corn syrup
whenever possible in place of sugar.
Make palmer and fewer cakes and
do not frost them. Lessen the
amount of sugar used in tea and
coffee, fresh fruits, etc. Save every
possible grain of sugar. The use
of fresh and dried fruits will help
very materially, for the sugar is
contained within the fruits.
Save the animal fats. Use any
kind of good vegetable fats in your
cooking All drippings from meats
can be utilized. Lard should be
used very sparingly aud such art
icles as doughnuts and French fried
potatoes are most unpatriotic. But
ter should not be used for cooking
purposes. However we must eat
it as the system requires it and
butter is especially necessary for

WOMAN'S WAR.

This has been called a Woman S
War for never before has such i'm
portant work been given to women.
Through the Counsel of Defense,
women have been taken into the
counsels of the nation; through the
Liberty Loan they have beer asked
to take part in financing the war;
through the Y. w. c. A. they have
for the first time been asked into
the army camps as a social force
and through the conservation de-
partment to assist with the business
of the country, hence this is an
opportunity for women to show
that they are equal to the occasion.
They should follow conscientiously

As can be seen by notice IN
another column the election for the
issuance of state bonds to the
amount of 100000 for the purpose
of refunding existing Indebtedness
will be held on December 2Sth.
This issue was found necessary by
the city council owing to their in
ability to dispose of the issue
recently voted. The state bonds
will carry interest at a per cent
provided they are accepted.
Bonding companies are not very
keen at the present time for bonds
carrying less than six per cent
besides which a premium IS de-
manded.

THE disloyal element in the
state should be put out of circula-
ton. We are in favor of putting
the whole smear into the service of
country, building roads, cutting
wood and clearing lands for their
board and for the privilege of liv-
ing in a good country. We are
also in favor of utilizing the firing
squad on dangerous enemies. This
idea of putting them in Jail at the
expense of the overburdened tax
payer is poor business. Cut them
out effectively and forever.

AT the next meeting the city
council will probably take up the
matter of wood for fuel. 1t has
been suggested that in view of the
coal situation this winter and the
chances that next winter will be
even worse, the city should at once
take steps to secure supply of
wood. At Virginia the city is fur

FARMER Is FOUND DEAD
WITH HIS THROAT CUT

greensboro, KY, June S.-When
one of the mules that Clifford Stin-
nett, young farmer, had been driv-
ing in his field in Breckenridge coun-
ty returned to the house his wife
became alarmed and went out to in
vestigate. She found the other mule
tied to tree and her husband dead
on the ground with his throat cut.
This morning William Riley, a
prominent farmer, surrendered him
self to the authorities of Brecken-
ridge county, saying that he had
killed Stinnett. He was placed in Jail
at Hardinsburg to await his examin-
ing trial. He refused to discuss the
killing. Stinnett was a cripple and
had wife and four children.

of the machine gun is constant and its
fire is synchronized with the revolving

The pilot operates the gun by
means of a lever which controls the
circuit and allows the impulses to

CLEARED IN SIX MINUTES.

Honolulu, Hawawii.-One-armed
Henry Allen, formerly in the United
States navy, who shot and killed John
S. Walker, a confessed pro-German
after the later had heaped insult up
on the American government, flag
and uniform, was acquitted by local
jury after the members had deliberat-
ed just six minutes. But one vote
was taken. Every ballot read, Not
guilty
The courtroom was the scene of
a patriotic demonstration after the
verdict had been read by the clerk.
Spectators stood and applauded as
two American soldiers, each carrying
an unfurled American flag, stepped to
Aliens side. Outside, two squads
of soldiers were waiting in command
of a Sergeant. With Allen at its
head, a fiag-bearer on each side, the
detail marched down King street, and
Beretania and thence to Aala Park,
where Allen keeps a soft drinks stand.
Hundreds of persons uncovered and
stood at attention as Allen and the
colOrs went by.
Self-defense was the ground on
which Aliens counsel sought his ac-
quittal, but the one-armed mans pro-
lection of the flag and resentment
of Walkers repeated insults played
a leading role in the trial of the case.
Allen and other witnesses testified
that Walker, among other things, had
stated he wanted to leave Hawaii
but that he wished before he went
that he might gather a pile of auto
matte reyolyers around him,put his
back to an iron wall "and shoot every
d American soldier in sight"
Witnesses testified that Walker on
several occasions had stated that he
wished that none of the American
soldiers who went to France would
come back alive.

battle cannot be procured in few

AUSTRIANS PLAN
STRIKE AGAINST WAR
Address Before Socialists
Affirms Great Unrest
Exists.

Washington.-An address to the
Austrian proletariat, adopted at the
recent Vienna congress of the Ger
man Socialists of Austria affirms
that great unrest exists in the Aus
trian working classes and that a
general strike against further con-
tinuance of the war is planned.
An official dispatch to-day from
Switzerland says the government is
warned by the Socialists of the con-
sequences which will result from con-
yiction by the proletariat that the
Central Powers intend to continue
hostilities for the war-like aims OF
the imperial governments. On the
other hand the address declares that
after conscientious examination of the
conditions in which the struggle may
take place the congress is confirmed
in its opinion that the present mo-
ment would not be favorable for
great strike.
1.-THE congress-" continues the dis
patch, "invites the Austrian working
class to hold itself in readiness for
the struggle at favorable moment,
which cannot fail to come"
Swiss observers see in the address
and in the comments on it by the Ar
better Zeitung the underlying infu-
ence of the government, which seeks
TO avoid at this critical time general
walkout with attendant internal dis
orders,
? ."Besides the address," says the dis
patch, 1.-The congress in resolutions
protested against the peace OK Brest-
aitpvsk and of Bucharest; declared
itself for peace without annexation
or indemnities both in regard to
France, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ru-
mania; proclaimed the right of peo-
pies to dispose of their affairs them
selves and pronounced itself in favor
of the league of nations"

ORIGIN OF ODD MEASURES.

Doubtless measures of all kinds
were originally taken from the hu.
man body. An inch is roughly the
length of the top joint of the thumb
A span is a quarter of pace, and a
pace is half ones height. The span
and the pace were probably the
foundation of all measurement, and
we still speak quite commonly of so
many PAGES distant.
The ell is little used to-day as a
measure, and mainly survives in the
old saying, "Give him an inch and
he'll take an ELL" That is, give him
little liberty and there is no telling
to what length he will 60, for the
English ell is a yard and a quarter,
the Scottish ell little over yard.
and the Flemish ell only three-quart-
ers of a yard.
The word ell means arm, and thus
elbow means the joint or bend OF
the arm. The ell measure was taken
from the arm of Henry l., and if
that was a yard and quarter it was
of very unusual length. The capac-
ity of the human body was also early
put to the use of measurement; thus
we have the expression, "A hop, step
and jump" "A stones throw" and
the old saying, within a bow-shot
away"
In rural Germany they speak of
places being so many hours distant
meaning, of course, by walking; and
in the rural parts of Schleswig-Hol-
stein they say that a place is a pipe,
or two pipes, or three pipes Off, ac-
cording to the number of pipes one
could smoke while walking there:
Shorter distances are reckoned by
banks. A village under a mile away
would be two or three dogs banks.
1t is as we say, within calling dis
lance"
