RABRT AS A NEW FOOD

The rabbit is coming into his own.
From despised pest he is rising rap
idly to the dignity of popular food.
He is already receiving consideration
in many quarters. Australia has con-
verted this farm pest into food and to-
day frozen rabbits take third place in
her exports. Housekeepers have dis
covered, too, the value of the adapta-
bic rabbit which can be roasted, fried,
stewed, potted or turned into pie.
Indeed, it can be dsed in as many
forms as chicken. Here is q recipe
for rabbit sausage received from Ok
lahoma by the Missouri Division Of
the United States Food Administra-
ton:
Take healthy rabbits, young or old,
dress and soak over night in salt wa
ter. Wash thoroughly. Cut the meat
or the bone and grind very fine in
food chopper. To one pound of meat
use Ia of medium sized onion. two
tablespoons cracker crumbs, 3-4 tea
spoon Of salt, 1-2 teaspoon of black
pepper, pinch of cayenne pepper and
1-8 cup Of milk. Chop onion fine with
knife. Mix all ingredients thorough
ly, let stand for several hours, make
into cakes and fry or pan-broil,

Since the Christmas holidays Miss
Berdie Cole has succeeded Miss Mar
garet Baugh in the Bonne Terrc
schools, Benton Gideon follows John
London in the Elvins schools and
Miss Opal Watts has replaced Miss
MARTINI Raines at the Koester school
For the school year ending June 80
1916, the total number of days at
tendance by all st. Francois county
pupils was 1,057,267; average daily
attendance, 6910. For the school
year ending June 80, 1917, the total
number of days attendance by all
pupils was 1,140,793; average daily
attendance, 7452. One year ago the
number Of cases of hardness report
ed was 6904; truancy, 2SS; corporal
punishment, 1860; for the last year
the number of cases of tardiness was
6152; truancy, 273; corporal punish
ment, 1888. 1t will be noted that an
improvement has been made in the
showing on hardness and truancy de-
spite greater enrolment but that
the number of corporal punishments
has very materially increased. Wheth-
er or not the greater number of cor
poral punishments is responsible for
the decrease of tardiness and truancy
has not yet been determined. 1t would
seem, however, that a greater num-
ber OF teachers have become better
Sunday school scholars during the
year as evidence shows more of them
to be familiar with a famous saying of

A MOTHERS PRAYER FOR
HER SOLDIER SON

o God of infinite mercy, hear the
mothers of this land as we plead be-
fore Thy throne for the loved ones we
are sending forth to battle for the
righ T .toh
Right. Though our hearts be bowed
with sorrow, we pray not for our
selves; all our prayers, o God Of love
are for them, the priceless treasures
Of our lives. We are willing to suf-
fer, and, if need be, to die, for our
country.
We would gladly give our lives tc
save these loved ones, dearer to US
than life itself, who are going out to
fight foes, seen and unseen, to face all
the horrors of the battlefield and some
perchance to die, that others may live,
but by no word or look will we hold
them back when duty calls them to
save others.
Give them the manhood to meet this
supreme test of life, give them
strength of body, Of mind and soul to
do battle for the Right, and to succor
the women and children. Arm tn m
with Divine power to smite evil; fold
them in Thy loving arms; yea, though
they walk through the valley of the
Shadow of Death, may Thy presence
Danish every fear and Thy rod and
Thy staff comfort them.
For three long years the men Of our
Allies have battle for us as for their
own homes, and their loved ones have
endured the sorrows which now we
must face. Our men go forth to help
save us from ruin and the world from
barbarism. We suffer, but we glory
in their manhood. We dedicate our
lives to this Great Cause that we may
serve behind the lines while they car
ry forward the flag of civilization.
The prayers of a world in agony,
for whom these loved ones are fight
ing, are lifted up to Thee for these
men. They are offering all that earth
holds dear, because they have heard
Thy voice calling them to the noblest
work to which lives were ever conse.
Grated. Thy love, o God, our Father,
excels all human love, so we leave
them with Thee. To Thee we have
committed them.
They are Thine, created in Thy
image.
Into them Thou hast breathed the
breath of life in its largest and di-
vinest sense.
In their sacrifice, offering their lives
that others may live, they are follow
ing in the footsteps Of the Son Of
GCi Himself who died to make men
free from the power of evil. We trust
them, o God, to Thy infinite love, and
to Thy ever watchful eye. Hold them
as in the hollow of Thy hand, for they
are doing Thy work and fulfilling the
teachings of Him who spake as never
man spake, when He taught that
greater love hath no man than that he
is willing to lay down his life for
others.--From Manufacturers Record.

Crossing of River Meuse and Capture
of Dun by Americans a Gal
liant Feat.

The crossing of the river Meuse and
the capture of the town of Dun by the
Americans, when it's full details are
known, will rank as one Of the most
gallant feats of Che entire operations
northwest of Verdun, states a CORE
spondent of the Associated Press with
the American forces on the Sedan
front in dispatch dated Nov 6. The
troops who accomplished it will be en-
titled to rank as heroes, for their work
in military crossing the stream was
a strategic move of unusual daring.
The crossing involved the forcing of
a way over the 160-foot river, a half
mile wide stretch Of mud and 60
foot canal in the face Of a frightfu]
enemy fire. It also involved SWIM.
ming by those who knew how ard The
pulling Of otkers over ropes. Crap.
rlng irons were used 70 scale the
sheer walls of the canal, alon which
machine-gunners had been posted, uo

line, on which the Germans planned tt
make a stand, was smashed by tn
Americans late Tuesday when the

chine guns. In some places the en-
