FEED FROM FISH AND OFFAL
Material Produced in Form of Meal Be-
Iieved Valuable for Both
Swine and Cattle.

A factory has been started at Ymui-
den, at the entrance to the North sea
Canal, for transmitting the least de-
sirable fish and fish offal into a sat-
isfactory food for swine, writes Con-
sui Frank w. Mahin, Amsterdam,
Netherlands. This is considered Of
double importance-it feeds the swine
and also frees articles (maize, for ex-
ample) usually fed to swine, for other
purposes, even for human food.
Spoiled fish have been fed to swine.

but Win Dau enect Oh the la &c or tie
pork. The new factory, it is stated,
makes q ''vischmeel" Oiterally, fish
meaD from the material it uses, which
product, analysis shows, contains 50
per cent albumen and II per cent
fat, and also realizes an oil that after
suitable publication, could be used in
competition with cod-liver OIL or in
any case could be very useful as an in
dustrial oil.
1t is suggested that besides feed
ing swine with this new product it be
tried with cattle, as a possible aid in
the serious situation which now ex-
lists in regard to feeding live stock.
The new factory is considered of
great Importance in scientific circles,
and hope is expressed that the govern
ment as well as the general public
will give it earnest support as a mat
ter of national concern.

M er this year it is of interes
" " to trace that observance tt
it's source and note the man
ner in which it is commemOrated in
Jerusalem. Particularly is this survey
OF interest at the present time as the
attention Of the reading public has
been drawn to the capture of the Holy
City and it's occupation by the Brit
ish.
For many centuries the season OF
Lent has been a very important period
of the year in the Holy Land, and es-
pecially in the city of Jerusalem. At
this time the city is filled, often to
overf1owing, with pilgrims-Jews,
Christians and Moslems-frOm all
countries Of the world to worship at
it's sacred shrines.
The Holy City is essentially and
strictly religious every day in the year,
but particularly during Lent. To de-
clare oneself to be without any re-
ligious creed in Jerusalem is to invite
and gain distrust and thinly yelled con-
tempt, and an intangible ostracism
from all classes and creedS of the citi-
zens.
The Jewish pilgrims are the least in
numbers. Their chief point Of sacred
interest is that portion of the ancient
wall of the Notifications of their form
er temple on Mount Moriah, commonly
known as the "Wall of Wailing," or
Jewish Wailing Place" The Mount
Of Olives, the Tombs Of the Prophets,
and other minor landmarks of bygone
ages when they owned the land are
objects of veneration. Added to these

with the Confederate veterans. The
Legislature of 1916 divorced the ac-
cruing surplus of the one-miIl tax
from the school fund, and submitted
an amendment to the people for
ratification, which would place the
entire proceeds of this one-mill tax
in the Veterans pension fund. This
amendment was overwhelmingly
carried at the polls, and became a
law.
In September, 1916, each pensioner
received notice that unless he voted
to help create the State Board Of
Affairs-even though the pension
had been voted-there never would
be a possible chance for a raise in
the pension.
Now one-half Of the one-mill tax
is being taken from the pension fund
to be applied to the raising of teach
ers' salaries, the claim being made
that, owing to the high cost of liV-
ing, the teachers are not getting suf-
ficient pay.
Officers salaries are being raised
and new offices are being created,
the veterans are the only class OF
people who are not being cared for
they even take their funds to pay
state officials, as was proven by
Colonel Richardson before the IL
nance committee last week.
1t is claimed that the Veterans
were a great factor in building up
this great state of ours, the people
building monuments to his memory
and that of his heroic deeds, while
historians praise him in prose and
poetry.
The people of this State recognized
the justice of his claims and voted
the tax, doing all that was asked Of
them, but alas! some of the ons
OF veterans and their descendants,
who are in office, the servants of
the people, are playing hide and
seek with the defenseless and de-
pendent veterans, ignoring the be-
hests of those who elected them.
The veterans are fast thinning out
as the years roll by and when these
men who should deem it a sacred
privilege to provide for them in the
few years that yet remain to them,
wake up, they will find that 1t is too
late-they need the help now,
while they are still here with us
not when they have answered the
last roll call and been gathered to
their fathers.
