Start a Bat Roost
Help to Combat the
Malaria" Says Doctor

Dallas, Tex.-Start . bat roost
and help rid the country Of disease,
is the admonition Of DR.. Charles A.
Campbell of San Antonio. who re-
Gently attended the Southwestern
Medical association meeting here.
Malaria, he says, is one Of mans
worst enemies and the lowly bat A.
a combatant of the disease is highly
valuable. Dr.. Campbell has worked
out his theory for II years, perfect
ing it scientifically only during the
war.
The malaria mosquito and the
bat are both nocturnal and the mos
quito furnish 90 per cent of the bats
food" he said. "All that is needed
to combat the mosquito and result
ant malaria, is to furnish the bat
with a home. A roost similar to the
method in keeping bees in ones
back yard will suffice, for the bat
knows its home and will return after
a nights foraging. In my back yard
I have many Of these sanitary
workers.
"The malaria question is 4 serious
one in this country. More than
$l00,000,000 is lost annually as
direct result In the United States
there lies idle 100000 acres of
sill, fertile as the Nile, an area suf-
fcient to grow the American cot
ton crop. all because of the malarial
conditions existing More than
100000 ounces of quinine is an
nually imported to help eradicate
malaria. If we take the proper step
to eradicate malaria from our blood
we will start with the mosquito.
And the bat is the mosquitoes worst
enemy" Therefore bat roost
should be started as they are profit
able.

Great Lakes Station

Great Lakes, ILL.,, Nov. 10
Around "Bill" Chandler, Wisconsin's
de luxe captain a year ago, and
stack of other western conference
stars will be erected the 1918 Great

ball team.
Chandler is generally regarded as

MANY SARDINES
BEING PACKED
BY AMERICANS
Many New Firms Are Entering
the Field Formerly Con-
trolled by NorWegians
and Danes.

San Pedro, Cal.-Sardine packing
and canning, for many years con-
trolled by the Norwegians and the
Danes, and only of recent years an
industry of the United States, is
rapidly taking on major proportions
here, twenty-one companies having
entered the field of preparing the
fish for the domestic as we'll as the
forei gn market.
The method of preparing the sea-
food presents an interesting sight.
More than $50 fishing boats are re-
CURED to keep the concerns here
operating at normal output.
Seines are used by the fishermen
in catching sardines. The tiny fish
are gathered into small! powerboats
from the seines and when a boat
load is secured, the fsherman-cap-
tain takes his catch to the cannery.
Here the fish are shoveled onto
conveyor belt which carries them to
the first process in the canning oper-
atom. lhey pass from the ConVeyor
belt to the scaler. revolving drum.
which removes the scales. From
the scaler they are passed to the
cutters.
Women Cutters.
The cutters, once men, but since
the war, women, trim and dress at
long tables and pass the fish on to
sailing watts, whence they 60 to the
taking trays for drying. The flax
ing trays occupy large room, in
the end of which is a big blower,
carrying air through the room and
drying the fish. After this opera
ton the fish are ready to be fried.
The frying operation, probably
one of the most interesting to the
casual visitor, consists of virtually
boiling the fish in a large tank of
oil. The sardines are placed in
baskets at one end of the tank and
move across the receptacle. By

Metal Companies Are
Charged with Actions
Favorable to Huns

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE feder-
al trade commission today issued
complaints against six concerns with
headquarters at London, New York
and in Germany, which it says it
has reason to believe are united in
a metal combination with the great
German metal interests.
Tfa companies, one OF which
(Beer, Sondheimer & CO. Inc. was
taken over from German owners by
alien property cutodian last July %,
and now is being operated for him,
are charged with practicing unfair
and destructive methods of competi-
ton in the American market, aimed
at monopolizing the American min
erals separation industry.
The companies are Minerals Sep
aration (Ltd.), Minerals Separation,
American Syndicate (Ltd.); Miner
ais Separation, American Syndi-
cate (Ltd), 1913, all of London;
Beer, NSondheimer & Co. of Frank
fort-on-the-Main, Germany, and
Beer, Sondheimer & Co. Qnc.), and
Minerals Separation. North Ameri-
can corporation, New York City:
Benno Elkan, Otto Frohnknecht and
Harry Falck of New York City,
agents of the companies, also are
named in the complaint, which will
be heard about December so.
The charges against the concerns
include enforciup agreements with
the intent of sitting competition,
preventing the use by operators and
others of any independent product
except by their permission. extort-
ing exorbitant commissions and roy
alties from independent manufacture
ers and consumers and with COM
pelling engineers to surrender all
inventions of apparatus for the sep
aration or concentration of ores.

Yank Loses Leg, Says He is
Only Hitting on 8 Cylinders

Paris, Nov. 4.-The spirit OF
American soldiers passing through
casualty stations is admirable. One
"doughboy" from Kansas hobbling
up to an American Red Cross can
teen on one leg and crutches,
shouted, Here T come. I'm only
hitting on three cylinders but still
able to get about"
Another boosted of his luck be-
cause he had only three shrapnel
wounds, one in his hand. one in
his shoulder and one in the back.
An American Red Cross canteen
at a receiving sta ION often offers
men their first chance to talk over
their experiences. They stand
around with a cup OF chocolate in
one hand, cookies in the other, and
fight their fights over again until
officers have to drive them to the
dressing rooms.

Taking Over Cable Lines
Criticised bV MaCkay

New York, Nov. l7.-Clarence H.
Mackay, president of the Postal
Telegraph company and the Com
mercial Cable company, issued q
statement last night, announcing he
had been informed that the govern
ment had taken over all Atlantic
and Pacific submarine cable lines
and criticising the administration
for its action.
Declaring the cable companies
have rendered excellent service since
the outbreak of the war, Mr.. Mac
kay declared he could not UNDER
stand why the government at this
late date should take over the
cables as a war necessity. the war
being now practically ended"
Taking over the cables he declar-
ed, saddled an additional financial
burden on the government as he
insisted that government operation
would result in loss Gust as gov
eminent operation of the land lines
will result in loss"

Business Good Here
During War Figures
Being Compiled Show

Manager Gillian Of the industrial
bureau of the Chamber of Com
merce is preparing a resume of bust
ness conditions in the city during
the war, but the work is not yet
completed. However, from data on
hand it is shown that while the war,
in several forms of manufacturing
crippled the business to a large ex-
tent, it also stimulated the business
of many other firms, more than Off
setting the loss.
This condition is true to the great
est extent in the meat packing in
dustry, which enjoyed the largest
growth and greatest prosperity in
its history.
So, also, did war stimulate the in
dustries manufacturing butter, flour.
corn meal and corn flour, biscuits

the time they reach the other side,
they are cooked.
From the frying vat, the sardines
go to another series of trays, where
they are allowed to cool for IL
hours, generally being placed in
these trays at night and removed
in the morning. After cooling the
fish are removed to the packing
tables, where packers prepare them
in tins.
The packers work at long tables.
Above these tables, an endless belt,
carrying empty cans, moves. The
fish are packed in quarter-pound,
half-pound and pound cans. When
the packer has placed the sardines
in their metal containers. the latter
go to the sealers. The sealers are
automatic machines, operated by
young women, which place the tops
on the cans, oval or square, as the
case may be.
To the observer, it would appear
that this would be the end of the
operation, but the most important
treatment comes next. The sealed
cans are removed to a retort, which
is heated to a high temperature. The
cans are placed in this retort, where
they remain for three hours and
are practically given another cook
ing.
The heat is 50 intense that the
bones of the sardines are softened
and any possible remaining dir is
expelled, thus sterilizing the pack
and preventing any possibility OF
spoilage.
The final operation consists OF
labelling, after which they are ready
for shipment.
The sardines are packed in sew
eral different manners. High-prlced
fish are packed in olive oil, others in
apricot kernal oil. peanut oil, cotton
seed OIL tomato catsup and mustard.
