DOGS ON FOOD NATIONS?

Although no action has as yet been taken on the matter in this country, it Is thought by officials to be possible that the day may not be far off when Fido, the blear-eyed bull, will have his beneless days, and Marshmallow, the chorus iady's pet, her days of sans bonbons." In London dogs have been made to conform with food regula- tions, and have been put to wartime rations.

A. {. F. Publication Tells
Soldiers "0ver There" What
Conservation Really Means

A private in truck train, relates
the Stars and Stripes, France, went
to a reserve tank the other day, open
ed the faucet and drew liberal guam
tity Of gasoline ia a bucket.
ST guess" he remarked, "the old
man will raise h if he saw this, but
I've got to wash my pants"
Yes, the s'old man" probably would
have raised h. If he is the right
kind Of "old man" he would have
raised seven or eight different kinds
of it.
Millions Of schoolbOys are selling
War Savings stamps in the States to
keep us going over here and millions
are stinting to buy them. There were
three gallons of gasoline in that bucket
and, what with the money it cost to
make it and build and run the ships
to get it over here, we wouldn't be
surprised if it represented whole
weeks work for some bright-eyed, en-
thusiastic, patriotic schoolbOy.
The private in question would prob
ably fight if you accused him Of be-
traying his friends in the trenches.
Yet gasoline means airplanes, and air.
planes mean dead Germans, and dead
Germans mean live Americans. It's
the same with every commodity we
handle. Conservation and care mean
lives and a shorter war.

LAYING HENS
NEED GRIT

Ground feeds are necessary for
most efficient digestion in poultry.
Hopper feeding saves labor and fur
nishes the necessary supplementary
feed at all times. There is no danger
Of poultry overeating on ground feeds
fed dry in a hopper.
Limestone grit or oyster shell is
also necessary for laying hens. A
laying hen requires large quantities
of shellmaking material. Nearly all
Of this must come from the grit
and shell she eats. It is poor econ
omy not to keep a liberal supply ac-
cessible. One extra egg year will
pay the bill. 1t returns the money in
vested hundred fold.
Chickens raised on range can be
produced much more economically
than those kept closely confined around
the farm buildings. Not only is less
feed required, but the danger from
disease is reduced. The edge OF the
cornfeld makes an ideal poultry
range. Chickens grow best on plOwed
ground and the corn furnishes shade,
which is essential during the summer.
Under such conditions, pound of
chicken can be produced from three
to four pounds of grain.

Corona of Sun, Latin Word
And Its Meaning Is Crown

Corona is a Latin word meaning
crown, hence our English words cor
onet and coronation. Astronomers ap-
ply the word to the browning circle or
light visible during an eclipse of the
sun Notwithstanding its partial OBJ
scuration by the moon. A dlstln-
guished astronomer says: During a
total solar eclipse, when the sun is
obscured by the moons shadow, the
dark disk is seen TO be surrounded
by a glory or fringe of radiant light,
which is called the corona" Another
authority says: "The corona is the
exterior envelope of the sun, being be-
yond the philosophers and chromo7
sphere, invisible in the telescope and
unrecognized by the spectroscope, ex-
cept during a total eclipse of the sun.
To ascertain the character and COM
position of the suns corona is the OBJ
ject of scientific observations made
during an eclipse"

BADLY NEEDED THOSE CARS
Frenchmen Overjoyed at Generous Of.
fer, but Alas! Red Gross Didn't
Have Them to Give.

Undoubtedly one of the most acute
our Red Cross was the lack of COM
petent stenographers who understood
both French and English. One mora
ing the chief of the transportation
bureau had occasion to dictate a let
ter to his secretary asking the
French government to give him a
thousand numbers for the matricula-
ton of his cars. After the letter had
been turned into French he glanced
through it casually, noted that the fig
ures were correct, took pains to have
it duly countersigned at American
military headquarters, and sent it off.
In due course there arrived at his of
flee. three distinguished French Off
Gals, who smilingly said:
1--WE have come to thank the Ameri-
can Red Cross for the thousand cars
it has just presented to the French
government. It's very handsome of
you. We're badly in need of cars right
now"
WHAT" gasped the dumfounded
transportation head. We've didn't
give you any thousand cars. We
haven't got 'em to give"
The visitors produced the letter.

er little French stenographer had un-

A Day With Leftovers.

The leftover problem is always with
us and she is a good manager who
plans her meals so that there are few
leftovers to dispose of. A most dainty
first course may be prepared for a
dozen with small piece of ripe wa
termelon. Use a potato cutter and
make enough balls from the pink ripe
part of the melon to fill sherbet
glasses. Chill and serve as a cocktail.
Add enough strip to make a sauce,
using a bit of mint to garnish each
cup. Muskmelon may be used in the
same way with a ginger sauce. 1t is
especially delicious. The Canton pre-
served ginger with bits Of mint
chopped and added for garnish make
a most elegant dish.

Islands before she would reach the
pier. They sang Nancy Lee" Pack

Bag" Keep the Home Fires Burning"
Indiana" and in lighter vein, with
much enthusiasm, that funny, choppy
Niagara song, the burden of which
seems to the nearer to be "My hair
cut is as short as yours"
The boat slid out of the fog and
alongside the pier, plotting out the
torpedo station lights, as the sailors
shouted in lusty chorus: "Where do
we go from here, boys, where do we
go from here?" and returned without
a stop the tuneful reply:
"Over there! Over there!
Send the word send the word,
Over there"
winding up with tremendous shout
"And we won't come BACK!
Till it's over over there"
Ensued a little pause, the singers
rather breathless. The boat was be-
ing made fast. In another ten min
utes they would be on their way-to
ships, to life at sea, to the varied
chances of the ocean and war. The
man in khaki raised his hand.
Zone more song" he called. "What

Remember these were happy-go-
lucky youngsters; remember they

what they were doing was out of the
fullness of hearts that CROPPED for
some outlet for the feelings within
rough hearts, untutored hearts, many
of them. But at the leaders ques-
ton a shout went up, a concerted
shout, as if it had been rehearsed:
1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner!"
Off came their hats. They straight
ened to attention. The leader gave
them the first line, and they sang!
How they sang! Reverently, solemnly,
1t rang through the murky night, the
hymn of the land they loved.
The song ended, succeeded by
hush. The man in khaki spoke:
"Good-by. boys" he said. keep up
your singing Good luck"
That was all. But to the boys the
words rang truer than any speech.
And they cheered him-three cheers,
and three more, and tiger. AS he
stepped from his truck he was lost in
mob of sailors, each striving to
grasp his hand.
The sailors crowded toward the
gangplank. The man in khaki stood
one side, wiping his brow. 1t takes it
out of a man to lead such singing as
that.
Soon the boat sailed away into the
fog and the man In khaki turned back
toward Newport and bed. This was
no part of his job: he did 1t because
he liked to say one last word TO his
boys. For at the training station he
had thousands more like them, and

OyersuppIy of Beans and
Appeal Is Made to Public
To Help Eat the Old Crop

There are 10000 bushels OF last
vear,s beans in the New York market
which are in danger of going TO waste
unless they are consumed before the
1918 crop comes in, says the New
York Sun. In the hope of saving then
the federal food board recently issued
call for a "bean drive"
"Just as the consuming public came
TO the rescue during the spring and
early summer to save the surplus pota-
toes" the board said, $50 similar pa
triotic use of beans is requested. IA
triotic housewives are urged to nave
q bean dinner or bean supper at least
one day a week as a means OF using
up the present surplus. One reason
for the existing surplus is falling OH
in the consumption of beans during
the past few months.
cit is true that the selling price or
beans is above the prewar price, put
it should be borne in mind that the
cost of production last year was ex-
ceptionally high. Even at the prevall-
ing prices, however, beans are cheap
when their food value is considered.
When combined with milk or eggs in
the same meal, they are one or the
best meat-saving foods. At 10 cents
a pound, at which prices they can be
purchased in some localities they fur
nish three times as much protein as
round steak at SO cents pound and
as lean veal at 80 cents a pound.
Beans in combination with fruits or
seasonable vegetables serve very well
as the basis of meat-saving meals.y
