Restaurant prohteers back in New Y.rk have
been joted out of the notion that cents are in
significant factors in price boosting. The local
food administration took notice of doubled
prices of milk served patrons and promptly
countered by requiring milk to be served by
weight-eight ounces for S cents and IL ounces
for 10 cents. Luckily for milk drinkers, the
food regulator took over their neglected job of
kicking.
Indications point to the early abandonment
OF gasless Sunday and the substitution of more
thorough system of gasoline conservation than
obtains at present. Director Regua of the oil
division of the fuel administration, in recent
speech in New York, said that more effective
methods must be adopted to reduce home con-
sumption. Ratloning oil is considered mprac-
tlcable, owing to the expense. Voluntary con-
servation seems more feasible and is likely to
be pressed home on users throughout the coun-
try.
Washington vouches for the report that Sem

recently, was presented with cream-coored
silk stovepipe hat by an admiring shopkeeper
The headpiece is said to be an artistic dream
altogether too charming for native topnots and
fell to the Illinois senator because he was the
only man the shopkeeper found handsome
enough to wear it. So far the tile has not
paraded in Washington, and may be reserved
to lend eclat to the coming parade of victorious
armies on Pennsylvania avenue.

Poultices for Pneumonia.

Chapman, Neb., Oct. ITO the
Editor Of The Bee: ! am mailing
you a slip from an "old newspaper"
that myself and neighbors were cor,
PEELED to try, as we could not get t.
doctor. In the cases we tried 1t
was a great success. One bad case
was a child IL years old. We had
not vinegar to keep the poultices
damp, 30 We used a steamer and
1t did not only keep them plenty
moist, but also heated them. We
timed the change just 10 minutes
apart, rolling one off and the other
on keeping the hand between the
body and hot poultice so as not t.
burn the patient in changing. We
rubbed the patient from heart down
ward to help relieve pain as soon as
he could stand the pressure. In one
case, after rest came and sleep, we
noticed rolling action Of the heart
and slow, and we used heat for that,
hot water bottle on the heart side.
After the phlegm and blood were
raised from the lungs, etc, there
was no cough or cold left In the
cases we had. IT seems there should
be much better than this nowadays,
but this worked wonders with us.
MRS. W. B. CONNER.
The clipping referred to contains
the following advice:
Take six or ten onions, according
to size. and chop fine; put in a large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and Vine
gar enough to form a thick paste
In the meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly,
letting 1t simmer five or ten minutes
Then put in a cotton bag large
enough to cover the lungs and apply
to chest as hot as patient can bear.
In about 10 minutes apply another,
and thus continue by relocating the
poultices, and in few hours the pa
tient will be out of danger. This
simple remedy has never failed to
cure this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue al
ways until the perspiration starts
freely from the chest. This remedy
was formulated many years ago by
one OF the best physicians New Eng
land has ever known, who never lost
a patient by the disease, and won his
renoWn by simple remedies"

Omaha, Oct. 6.-To the Editor of

FATIGUE DUTY
 IS SAFETY VALVE

Behind British Lines in France, August 1O.-Neither fatigue duty nor working parties are popular with the soldier but they serve a great pur- pose because in modern war mans greatest enemy is likely to be his own imagination. In the heat of ac- tion he has no time for thought. The horrors of war cannot force their way through his preoccupied mind. But later, when the excitement has died away the reaction sets in, and a realization of the past begins to de- press and deaden his vitality, for the memories of a modern battle are more terrible than the actual experience.
 The only antidote for this depres- sion lies in action and activity. Action provides distraction of the mind. It IS this that the working party sup plies, and in spite of the general abusive terms applied to it by the soldiers, it is really doing him ser vice.
 It is the British soldiers historic privilege to complain, or "grouse" as he calls it. But his complaints must not be taken to indicate a state of low morale. Exactly the reverse for it is an unwritten law in the British army that a man may com- plain only when things are going well. l In danger and diversity there is no complaining, only that dogged deter imitation which makes the British sol dier such formidable opponent.

Niagara Falls. N. Y., Aug. 7.-Af- ter being marooned on a scow within 1 ,OOO feet of the brink of Niagara Falls for 16 hours George Harris and Gus Lofberg were rescued by the Youngstown life saving crew this morning.
 The scow broke away from a tug yesterday and with the two men on board was carried into the upper rpaids and directly toward Horse shoe Fall. A shelving rock caught the unwieldy craft and held it. Life savers got line to the scow last night but the line sagged into the swift current and it was impossible to operate brooches buoy.
 Searchlights were kept on the scow and an electrical sign was rigged up reading "rest."
 This morning line was shot across the wreck from a powerhouse roof and the two men were hauled in

Americans Are Trained in New Mode of Warfare in Eng land by British Veterans Who First Used the

long and four or five wide and with aS ceiling so low that man cannot stand upright, there is crowded the crew.
 The actual experiences of the Brit ish instructors, many of whom were in the first tanks used in the war, have been reproduced in the most minute detail for the instruction of the Americans. Little has been left to the magination; the practical has been substituted for the theoretical. Huge shell holes, not dug out with pick and shovel, but blasted by mines as though by the German shells, have torn up the training field; trenches identical with those that mark the battlefields of France and other ob- structions that tanks encounter have been built, and it is over these that the Americans have been drilled and drilled until, in the opinion of their instructors, they are prepared to take their places on the line.
 Practical problems of getting out of tight places have teen provided and in anticipation of some of the predicaments that may be encoun tered careful instruction in recogni' zance work has been given. Strenuous work in target practice has been a daily schedule. Indeed. almost the only experience not yet undergone by the Americans is the pounding of the German fire.
 Another bit of training the tank man has had is in the use of the com- pass and just as a lesson demonstrat- ing the reason for this they nave been given the experiences of handling the tanks at night, when the analogy be- tween these land warships and those of the sea is seen.
 Although the Americans have been trained in British tanks it IS not ex- pected they will find any trouble whatever in operating the newer and heavier machines from the United States. The difference between the two tanks are technical and have to do with the mechanism, but they arc not radical. The fighting and operat- ing principles are the same, and ii has been explained to the Americans that the man who can handle one can handle the other, much as the pilot ot one make of automobile can easily learn to drive another type.
