Potato Salad.

Boil potatoes with the jackets on; when they are tender, but not cooked to pieces. drain them and cool with the cover on the pan, This makes them just a little heavy-more like new po- tatoes if old ones are used. Then re- move the skins and cut the potatoes into dice about one-half inch square. Cut up celery hearts into potatoes. mix thoroughly. Tn the bottom of a salad bowl place a. quarter of 8 newly cut onion and over it put a slice of bread Mix potatoes and celery with dressing and put into the salad bowl.

 BUILDING VENTURES
Defense Council Explains How
 Permits May Be Secured

Hartford, September 14.--The prob lem of stopping all unnecessary build Ing, Where the construction cost totals $2,oOO, or over, has been placed by the federal War Industries Board in the hands of local representa- tives of the Council of National Defense through out the country.
 The Connecticut State Council Of Defense has received from the Council of National Defense instructions to organize at once to carry out this task for the War Industries Board The request of the Federal authorities is that local agencies of the State De- fense Council, the war bureaus and town committees in f68 towns and cities throughout Connecticut, handle this important war task.
 This action is another step by the Government toward putting the whole nation on a war basis. It is based on the necessity of making the entire na- tion work or fight.
 In carrying out the new task which has, been assigned to them, local agencies of the Connecticut State Council of Defense will have the full authority of the federal government behind them. The priorities division of the War Industries Board has received from the principal manufacturers of building materials a pledge of co-op- eratlon in preventing the use of these materials for unauth orized non-e essen llal construction. These manufac- turers have exacted similar pledges from their customers who purchase TOT resale. To secure building ma terla1s from these patriotic dealers and manVfacturers, the invidual con- templating the construction must have a permit for the work.
 The State Council of Defense is for Warding to it's local agencies a E,111Ietin

 day at Pernambuco but only for
 snort while, so no one went ashore
 Yesterday we landed at Bahia. We made up party, consisting of three
 Braz1lians and three Americans. We were rowed in a mile to shore. as the ship docked that distance out in the harbor The first place we saw was the central market. It was most in teresting and everything imaginable was Tor sale, from parrots and mon- keys and birds, to shoes clothing and fruits and vegetables. The people were very dirty, and few wore shoes Women and men alike carry great heavy bundles on top of their heads. In the better part of the city every- thing looked most inviting. The stores were clean and modern, the streets wide and well paved. I enjoyed my first Brazilian dinner immensely. Very cheap. too. Fruit salad, for instance. cost only 10 cents. Then we hired an automobile and toured the city. Some of the residences would rival Fifth avenue mansions and most of them were surrounded by magnificent gardens. I learned that there are about 240 Fords in town and that they cost here around one thousand dollars apiece. Out in the country, bananas and cocoanuts grow right alongside the road and little black children run about with little or no clothing. We returned to the boat in the evening after an eventfu1 and interesting day I purchased pan orama view of the city which I will mail to you. By the way, the knives. forks and spoons we used at dinner were made at Landers, Frary < Clark's. Can you beat that?

BEER SHORTAGE HERE
Liuuor Dealers State That Supply Is Very Low and No Shipments Have
 Been Received in Two Weeks.

New Britain beer drinkers are fac ing crisis this weekend in the fact the fact that the city liquor dealers are short of beer. One of the lead- ing liquor dealers stated today that there is a well defined beer shortage in the city and, as he put it, he has "just enough to satisfy one good thirst" Other dealers also complain of a shortage of the frothy beverage in their barrels and unless some new shipments arrive within the next few days local beer drinkers will have to cultivate a taste for Shuttle Meadow.
 Owing to traffic congestion, and pri- ority of shipm ents on the railroads, 1t has been impossible to get any new supply of beer into the city for two weeks. 1nasmuch as the average thirst has exhibited no marked de- crease, the consumption has far ex- ceeded the supply.

~ ARIS, July 20.-There never
 was such an army of letter X writers as the American Elk paditionary Force in France!
 If the thing keeps up, and it bids tatr not only to continue, but to increase, we shall have to add writer's cramp to the list of her- TOTS of war, for our soldiers have been bitten by the writing mtcrobe; they oan no more resist the sight of pen and paper than hungry hobo can resist an apple pie cool ing in & farmhouse window.
 Next to getting a letter from home, which is the greatest and most exhilarsting indoor pastime in France, the soldier enjoys writ ing to the folks and telling them all about 1t for page upon page. He Is seeing 8 heap of new things and meeting with 8 heap of new experiences, which boil around in. side him and make him mighty un- comfortable, until he can unburden them to pa and ma and Jenny Jones. back in Keokuk.

 There are several soldiers fin France-several! All of them write, which means considerable when you check up.
 Iemme sec. l got to write Ma and Aunt Loo and Nell and Bill Wilkes tonight" says the soldier man, and he goes to it with vim and enthusiasm. When you stop to figure that some officer in his company must read all those let ters and censor them, if looks as though that officer were going to have to consult an oculist before this war ends.
 TONS AND TONS OF PAPER
 During the next year the Y. M.': c. A estimates it will be required to give to the soldiers from 1000. 900 to 10000, ,000 sheets of paper per month, and from 3,bo0,000 to 5,000,00O envelopes. One order was recently placed for 5o,0oo, ,00o envelopes and 180 tons of writing paper, which runs 250,o0o sheets to tho ton.
 This vast quantity of paper -is acquired at a great expense of time and labor, and with the ut- most difficulty. 1t must be col 1ected from all parts of Europe England, France, Spain. The paper comes in huge rolls and must be cut up and printed in Paris by the r. M. c. A.
 This means that in r. M. C. A. huts alone our soldiers during the next year will write home to the folks on 12o, ,oo0, 900 sheets of paper and 60,o00,oo0 envelopes. The total weight of paper and envelopes will be 720 tons. Seven hundred and twenty tons of comfort and news for the folks back home.

LINE TO WHICH THE FOE MAY RETIRE

Military experts are predicting that within the next two weeks. the Central Powers will lose the important bases of Douai, Cambrai, St. Quentin, la Fere and Laon. It is said that Le1 $ and Lille will shortly follow If the Allies should succeed in fulfilling these expectations it will necessitate Ger man retirement to the Mouse River line as pictured on the map. This would run through Bruges. RouIers and Valenciennes and would bring the Allies almost to the German border.
