American Medal Of Honor

Naval and military men of, America
claim that their medal Of honor, the
equivalent to Britain's Victoria Cross,
Is the hardest to gain, the most rarely
awarded. and therefore the most pre-
cious and least known of all such dec
orations throughout the world. When
a man Is entitled to wear an inconspic-
uous bronze star pendant from a blue
ribbon on which are IS white stars, 1t
Is certain that he has performed q
deed Of almost superhuman fearless
ness. The Medal Of Honor IL a FIVE

center bearing the head of Minerva
and around it "United States of Amer

Alcohol May Be Distilled 4
From Fumes OF a Bake Oven

Through the seizure Of a still In a
bakery in New Mexico, where guam
tity Of alcohol was discovered that had
been distilled from bake-oven fumes,
considerable discussion has taken
place concerning the manufacturing Of
alcohol as a by.product Of bread. The
still was . crudely constructed affair,
the vapor from the bread being con-
Quoted from the oven into worm,
which was cooled by passing through
barrel Of water, condensing the vapor.
The baker was not arrested. as it was
clearly shown that no evasion Of the
law was intended. However, posses
zion Of q still il in violation Of the law,
and this one was seized by the In
tegnal revenue service. The baker
states that alcohol can be manufacture
"a for war use at very small cost by
army bake shops and bakers In large
cities. The practicability OF the plan
remains to be worked out.

dogs and Cats Are Wan,ed
In Experimental Work by
the u. S. Dept. Of Mines

The United States government wants
dogs and cats. The feline and canine
creatures have come into their own.
observes Baltimore correspondent,
They are being taken in large mum.
bers all over the country. Just what
use Is being made of them is not
known, though some of the cats are
being used for experimental work in
the government laboratories.
The municipal dog shelter in Balti-
more is furnishing, on an average, Is
dogs a week, and an effort is being
made to secure as many cats.
All dogs at the dog shelter on Co
vington street were requisitioned by
the bureau of mines at Washington
six weeks ago when 112 dogs were ia
ken. Since then all that have been
collected in the city have been turned
over to the government agents. =
The bureau Of mines in asking for
them asserted that they would pay
all expenses of shipping, which great
ly lessons the burden here as the dogs
do not have to be killed as heretofore.
Licensed dogs which are picked up
are held for IS days before being sent
away, but strays are shipped as soon
as received. Sick or MANNED animals
are not wanted and they are killed.
Before the government asked for
these animals, only dogs were taken
by the dogs catchers" throughout Bal
timore. Now, however, the felines are
more desired by the government than
are the dogs. Kittens are not desired
but especially are the nice fat tabbies
wanted. So If any housewife desires
to be really patriotic oil she has to do
is to put kitty In a sack and call the
dog catcher" g.. ."'s--.

FATTENING
TURKEYS

The turkey, being somewhat of n
Wild fowl, does not take kindly to
small pens and Is usually fattened on
the range. Birds that are to be mar
keted for the holiday trade are given
all the cracked corn they will cat
twice day. When freezing weather
comes early and destroys insect life
1t Is advisable to furnish some form
OF meat feed, such as commercial meat
scrap, where birds can have easy &C.
cess to It.
In case local market is to be sup
piled it is possible to feed turkeys in
crates. The birds are put in small
crates In a quiet, protected building
and fed three times day on batter
made of cornmeal, low grade flour,
meat scraps and small amount of
bran mixed with buttermilk. This
method is more expensive and only
practical where markets are to be sup
piled. The old range method of fat
tening Is more desirable as well as eco
nomical. ~-... a..s Ia @a5. =.
Care should be taken to remove all
breeding stock from the birds select
ed for market, as it is not desirable
that those to be kept over should be-
come too fat. ...~" f

Food Administration Urges
Test for Wheat Waste; Tells
How to Rectify Operation

A matter of unusual import lance to
grain growers is the food administra-
TONS official test for clean threshing,
says Indianapolis News. BY this
rule any farmer can test the work of
the threshing machine he has hired.
The test is made by directing the straw
blower against a blanket, sheet or cam
vas during the time the weighing de-
vice trips five times, recording two and
one-half bushels. If more than one
pint of wheat is winnOwed from the
straw on the canvas, bad work is lndi-
Gated. One and One-half pints indi-
Gates loss of per cent. If more
than three pints is found which
means 2 per cent loss-reasonable
time should be given to correct the
bad operation, and a second test should
be made. If improvement is not OBJ
tained, steps should be taken through
the county threshing committee to dis
continue operations until the avoidable
waste is corrected. E ~ ~
Most threshing committees have for
mulated detailed rules for the guild
ance of threshing crews in effectively
stopping waste Of grain. But more eff
fective than the rules and regulations,
the food administration believes, has
been the eagerness with which farmers
and threshermen have accepted their
responsibility and the dill
igence with which they are now stop
ping every source Of grain waste.

What Is Sugar?
BY the u. S. Food
Administration

Sugar is q food as well as a flavor.
r. One of the simple food lessons the
United States food administration has
driven home is FOOD Is Fuel for Fight
ers." Sugar is one Of the conspicuous
fuel foods. Its great advantage is that
it is quickly burning, and gives it's en-.
ergy to the body more rapidly than
other kinds. ~ a ...-5- 81
The commercial granulated sugar we
buy at the store is mot the only sugar
on the shelf" Some Of these other
sugars have popular names which de-
note their origin, such as grape sugar,
fruit sugar, milk sugar and malt sugar.
Their technical names are, in order,
glucose or dextrose fructose; lactose;
maltese. .&~t1E-t. 81 4
The beet sugar or cane sugar that
we buy from the grocer is also an
"ose." 1t is called "sucrose."
The department of agriculture tells
us that while the canes and the sugar
beet are the only commercially Inn
portant sources of sucrose, this form
Of sugar is also found In the stems
and roots Of sorghum and cornstalks;
In the carrot, turnip and sweet pota-
to; in the sap Of some trees, such AZ
the date palm and sugar maple; in
almost all sweet fruits. and in the
nectar of flowers. ~ Ia s. {
When q sucrose, or ordinary su-
gar, is taken into the body and goes
through the process Of digestion, 1t is
changed into glucose and fructose.
Lactose goes through much the same
process, forming glucose and galact-
ose. Maltese, too, changes into glu-
cose. ~ *. 49,: ~. IS.
Glucose is simple sugar very easy
to digest. As Il is manufactured to-
day, 1t contains absolutely no harmful
substances. i< II
We need to remember that all the
sweeteners the United States food ad-
ministration asks rs to use In place OF
Sugar are sugars, too, and though
not always In as convenient form,
they give approximately the same food
value and flavor. Il.

Lusitania May Be Raised
BY a New Salvage Machine
That Also May Save Others

It is not unlikely that one of the first
great undertakings after the war Will
be the raising of the Lusitania, notes
New York World. The vessel car
ried a huge treasure to the bottom OF
the sea. It's value is estimated at $14,-
100000, of which 100000 is in gold
and silver, brass and copper; a like
amount in jewelry and other per-
sonal valuables; $4,000 in negoti-
able and unregistered securities in the
ships vault, ana cargo valued at So
100000. Much Of the latter is be-
lieved to be unlnjured. >@- ) =,
The great ship Hes on the shifting
sands at the bottom Of st. Georges
channel, in 27O feet of water. Divers
and pontoons cannot operate at this
depth, so an entirely new type Of sal
wage ship has been designed by ma"
rine engineer, Carl J. Lindquist. At
the surface it will be only about thirty
feet in length and half that in width,
but sweeping downward is a hull
which may be extended to a length
of 800 feet, and which is mounted on
big wheels, resting upon the~bed OF
the sea. -.
Near the bottom is a large search
light, capable of Illuminating the wa
ter for a distance Of thirty feet or
more, and by means Of this the helms.
man, far below the surface, will direct
the operation of a hollow, flexible steel
rod. When the sunken ship is located,
a powerful stream of water will be
forced through the rod. to clear away
the sand which has drifted high around
the lost craft. - i. - = y . s~.
-Four enormous perpendicular pom
ICONS of hollow steel will then be
sunk, two on each side of the ship,
and to them will be attached huge
cables, passing under the sunken hull.
When all is in readiness the vessel
may be lifted to the surface. There
the gaping wound in her side can be
repaired and the ship foated into port
This is but an outline of most in
genious plan, one single feature being
the hinged bases Of the pOntOons,
which permit them to sway back and
forth in stormy weather without re-
leasing their burdens.
Nor will their usefulness end with
the raising Of the Lusitania. The ocean
bed OFF the west coast Of Europe is
dotted with rich prizes. Near Havre, in.

Four were killed, two were injured and
four of us returned. We are now fight

on what we call listening post duty and
could not help thinking of all you folks

I went through Jaffa the other day.
My but the oranges there are fine. I
purchased so for "a cents. You see we
are not far from Jaffa now. AS for
purchasing anything else to eat, well
l wish it were possible. The rations at
present are very poor as the camels
cannot bring it up. You see they would
make good targets for the shells. 1 wish

CHAPTER XXI

Kilrain, %undaunted, came back foI
The third round, with plenty Of fight
1T was plain now that he had decided
to attempt TO beat the champion at his
own game-that of rushing and slug
ging. He swung in through q hurricane
of driving Sullivan fists and grasped
Sullivan about the neck. Sullivan twist
ed loose, driving home a short, chop
ping right TO the neck as he did SO.
Kilrain lunged out with his left and
struck Sullivan a blow, which, to many
appeared to be low, but the referee re.
fused it and the milling continued un-
til Kilrain finally dropped to the turf
from a heavy blow to the neck.
Kilrain was more cautious in the
fourth round. However, he could not
resist the temptation to try issue with
Sullivan in a wrestling match, and he
again ducked under the champion 3
guard. Sullivan, however, caught him
looming in this time, and grasped him
hbout the neck, turned quickly, and
threw Kilrain $ body across his hip.
Thus, with a perfect cross buttock
mold, it appeared Kilrain vas due to
sail through the air for a fall, but he
twisted loose Just as Sullivan brought
This strength into play and heaved for
b fall. He landed a swinging right as
Sullivan momentarily lost his balance.
THE champion dashed at Kilrain and
began a rain of blows, but Kilrain
went to the grass to avoid punishment.
The fifth round brought first blood
bf the battle for Kilrain, when he
