BEEF, ONE MEAL EACH
DAY, PERMITTED HERE
Provision Made for Use in Evening
by Modified Order Of Food
Administrator.

The food administrators recent or
der restricting the consumption of beef
has been followed so willingly and
strictly in Washington that it has
been found necessary to modify the
order to the extent Of allowing public
eating places to serve beef every day
at one meal.
Administrator Wilson, in lifting the
ban slightly, states that this was
necessary because beef was conserved
to such an extent here that number
Of the large meat dealers had quanti-
ties Of 1t on hand which was in dan
ger of spelling unless 1t was eaten in
the near future.
To Prevent Spelling Of Meat.
This beef is principally of the
heavier cuts which are used only in
public eating places. 1t was to prevent
the possible spelling of this meat that
Mr.. Wilson brought about this tenn
porary relaxation in the mandate. He
has specified the evening meal as the
one during which beef may be served
each day.
The reason" he said, "for allowing
1t to be eaten at the evening meal and
not at the others Is that the people
of Washington eat what is probably
the most important meal after work
light, and the half hour which the
government departments allow for
lunch is not usually time for a very
hearty meal

War Garden Sass

Today l ate some freedom
peas, in my war garden grown
| often gather greens like these,
and boil them with a bone; and
though the peas were small in
size, in taste like castor oil, |
viewed them with admiring
eyes, the product of my toll.
With pride the loyal voter eats
his homegrown garden sass, his
luscious Patrick Henry beets
and Sweet Boon sparrowgrass
his taters may be small as beads,
his lettuce coarse and tough,
but joyously he on them feeds
and cannot get enough. | plant
my beans of Bunker Hill, and till
them with my sword, and say,
"I'll help can Kaiser Bill, the
frugal may l board. I've plowed
up the begonia bed, the lily and
the rose, and that l may be
cheaply fed, ply my rakes and
hoes" How good it makes a
fellow feel, to do his little trick,
when he's too old to take his
steel, and carve a Teuton hick
He feels his jaded spirits rise, he
knows he's safe and sane; he
views his garden plot and cries,
Il have not lived in vain!" There
are SO many ways to aid, that
no one need despond; the coin
I've saved with hoe and spade,
will buy another bond. l help

1y the same thing. purchasing the en-
tire output Of the mines and then SELL

I,roximate idea of the actual coal pro-
duction, consumption and cost.
Following an investigation into the
charges of prodteering 1t Is considered

GERMAN M0DERATES WIN
NO ANNEXATION POLICY TO AP.
PLY 70 EAST FRONT.
Under Truce Agreement Hindenbura
Is To Determine Frontier
On West.

London, Jan. 17.-Once again the:
split between German militarists and
moderates has been patched up in
the eleventh hour. It is an extremely
fragile truce, however, that has
averted the immediate crisis in the
empire, all dispatches indicate.
For the moment, Chancellor Won
Hertlin and Foreign Minister Won
Kuehlmann appear victors in battles
with the militarists over the self
determination issue. Hindenburg and
ais annexationists following, the i'll
dications are, have finally consented
to let the government apply the
Reichstag majority resolution to the
occupied territories in the East, but
only upon the condition that they,
the annexationists, are to determine
the new frontiers" in the West,
DR.. Won Kuehlmann is said to have
agreed, according to dispatches from
Brest-Litovsk, to the formulation OF
a plan, by special commission, for
a referendum by which the territories
in question can voice their will as
to their future allegiance, IF any,"
Some Of the German papers an
nounce that negotiations have been
resumed at Brest-Litovsl, but there
is nothing to confirm this statement.

MAXIM ASKS U.S.. TO TEST
HIS ANTl-U-B0AT PLAN
Inventor Has New Idea for Minimizing
Effect Of Torpedo
Explosions.

Washington, Jan. II. - Hudson
Maxim, the inventor, has outlined to
the Senate Investigating committee
plans for ship construction which
he claimed would minimize the effect
on merchant vessels of explosions Of
torpedoes by instantly disintegrating
through a cooling process the gases
formed by the explosion. He said
he had sought in vain to interest
the Emergency Fleet corporation in
his proposal and that he came to the
committee in the hope that the gov.
eminent would conduct experiments
to determine it's worth.
His plan, the inventor said, was to
line the inside of the hulls of YES.
sells with cylinders containing water
with steel screen behind them.
When the torpedo exploded the water
tanks, he said, would be hurled
against the screen, atomizing the
water which would dispense the heat
and absorb the gases.

Another years activity Of the Com
mercial club has passed, and it can be
rightly said that the club, not neces-
sarily always alone, but in cooperation
with other agencies, has a number of
good things to it's credit for the past
year. The retiring president, Chas. Syl-
vester, has been active during his term,
and deserves communication. The new
president, Mr.. Willard, has been secre-
tary Of the organization for number
of years, and is deserving of the recog-
milton given him. It is now proposed
that the sphere Of the club be enlarg-
ed, which would necessitate the en-
ployment of paid secretary. A COM
mittee was appointed to take survey
of the field in regard to the matter
and report to the club, but we under
stand that the proposition is already
under way, and that arrangements have
been made with the COMPANY represent
ed by Mr., Green, who addressed tho
club Tuesday evening, to proceed with
the reorganization Of the club under
the three-year dues plan. Other cities
that have the plan under operation con-
slider it a success. Dues in the local
club are to be 500 per year, for period
Of three years, and should the required
number of memberships (15O) be Sc
cured, the plan will be put into opera
ton in Little Falls.
