Job Printing of All Kinds
Through Chinese speetaeIes.

Here are some comments on the kali
ser from the pen of Chinese student: !:
1.-The German Kaiser is not the su-
perior Man as deciphered by the Chi
nese literature; he is surely mean
fellow containing much fraudish cum
ming in his deceited heart. The Supe-
rior Man is shown in the merits Of
the excellent heart with much loving
kindness to all peoples; the mean fel-
low Is displayed in the black heart Of
the unregenerated devils Of the hell
with much loving kindness only to
himself. In the history of China was
a Emperor who burn the books and
slowed the scholars to extinct the civil
lizations Of the peaceful Inhabitants; |;
but he was not success in his crafty
tricks, for the civilizations could never
be extincted by such dishonourable
barbarism means. Now the German
Kaiser he also awfully wishing to
slave the people and extinct the civi-
lizations of the universe; he also de-
stroy the literature books, and the
arts, and the ships, and mess the
people Of Allies Nations But
he will not be success."-Manchest

AMOUNT OF FOOD NEEDED
Committee Of Experts Has Decided
Just What Must Be Supplied to
the Average Man.

As basis for calculating the amount
Of food which must be provided for
the human system the interallied scien-
tific food commission has found that
an average man of 154 pounds working
eight hours day requires food having
an energy value of $500 calories.
The commission consists Of repre-
sentatives Of the United States, France,
Italy, Belgium and Great Britain, and
its purpose is to consider the food prob
lem of the allies from a scientific point
Of view, and in agreement with the in
terallied executives to make proposals
to the allied governments.
The commission agreed that, in event
It should become impossible to supply
$500 calories of food. reduction OF
10 per cent could be suffered for some
time without injury to health. The
minimum ration of fat for the 'aver-
age man" was determined upon as two
and five-eighths ounces day.
The commission recommended that q
uniform average milling extraction OF
IS per cent for wheat be adopted
throughout the allied countries, but
this extraction may vary from 80 per
cent in summer to 90 per cent in win
ter.
The commission held sessions in
London. Paris and Rome.

FIREARMS ARE NOT FRAGILE
Shotgun Properly Cared For 10 Said to
Be Good for Hundred
Thousand Shots.

A question frequently asked is, "How
long will my shotgun last?" or "How
many shots can I fire from my rife OF
revolver before it wears out?'
1t is impossible for anyone to say
just how long a firearm will last. be-
cause it is impossible to tell before
hand what kind of care 1t is going to
get. and the care 1t receives makes all
the difference between a few hundred
shots and lifetime Of faithful service.
Assuming that they are cleaned care
fully and consistently a good shotgun
will show practically no falling of in
pattern or penetration for probably
well over 100000 shots. A 22-caliber
rifle and revolver are both good for
10000 or 10000 shots. A high-power
rifle Is good for about 5000 to 5000
shots, usually the higher the velocity
the shorter the life of the barrel.
Judging from these facts 1t would
appear that the higher the pressure
developed by the explosion the more
wear on the barrel, for the shotgun de-
power rifle the most.
A rather interesting sidelight on this
question of barrel life Is a determine
ton of the actual length Of time to
which good shotgun barrel is sub
jected to the force and burning effect
Of the powder charge during its life
time. If 100000 shots are fred from a
shotgun the inside of the barrel Is ac-
tually exposed to the flame Of the
powder charge for about four minutes.

Origin Of "Douohboy."

A phrase, strictly American in its
modern usage, is that of ''doughboy"
as applied to an American soldier. An
American infantry soldier recently e1-
planned the origin of the term to the
correspondent in Paris of the London
Times after this fashion: I'm the Civ.
II war n great number of federal troops
were waiting for uniforms, which were
made but lacked buttons. So great
was the hurry that eventually the men
went round the houses in the town and
collected buttons Off the women's cloth.
ing. These were for the most part
large buttons from overcoats. Natural
ly the infantry looked funny with their
uniforms fastened by great overcoat
buttons. Those resembled hard tack
(large. round. dry biscuits made of
dough- and hence sprang the word
'doughboy,' which has beep KIP, IN the
United States army - ID slang phrase
for an infantry poaoier."

Canine Life Saver.

Dogs have been given their share Of
credit for saving human life, from time
to time, but it is doubtful If any canine,
however faithful. has ever given bet
ter account of himself as life saver
than dog did here. While driving
home to their farm from Pipestone,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Thiele were run
down at a cross road by another car
which was travelling at great speed.
When the crash occurred the Thiele
car was picked up by the other and the
force of the collision threw a fifteen
mouths-old baby from Mrs. Thiele's
arms. The child would have met GER
tain death beneath the cars but for the
fact that in falling the baby struck
a dog which was riding on the foot
board Of the other car. The dog grab
bed the dress of the child and clung
to 1t until the cars could be stopped.
The baby received fewer injuries than
did the other occupants Of the cars.
Both machines were badly wrecked

Frost Not Due to Moon.

The moon may be of tremendous
Importance to young folks hanging over

significance to gardeners or farmers
In some sections of the country pre-
walls popular belief that in the sea-
son when frost is to be expected its
occurrence is largely influenced by the
phase Of the moon or other periodical
phenomena. Careful tabulation Of
frost data and comparison with moon
phases fails to disclose any such rela-
ti0u. All persons interested are there
fore cautioned to watch not the moon
but the forecasts issued by the wealth

Gas Made From Straw.

The production Of fuel and lighting
gas from straw is now made possible
by a Canadian inventione This pro-
ducer. which is designed for individual
farm use, offers a practical means for
utilizing tho vast quantities Of straw
that now 60 to waste on the Western
plains.
The gas Ii made in q retort equipped
with three cylinders, each Of which
molds q bale of straw seven feet
long, two feet wide, and six inches
thick.
After filling and closing these cham
bers, a straw or gas fire is lighted
under them and allowed to burn 80
or 40 minutes. One firing with wheat,
oat. barley, or dax straw in this man
ner produces 100 cubic feet Of gas,
having fuel value of 400 B. t. u. About
1900 cubic feet Of gas can usu-
ally be generated from one ton OF
straw. and in addition six to eight gall
Ions OF tar and $40 pounds of carbon,
from which lampblack can be OBJ

back, with heavy losses.
