French Rainfall Statistics.

The investigation of French rainfall
as planned by the central meteorOlogi-
cal office, has been carried out for n
portion Of the cOuntry-the northwest
provinces. Maps of the average rain.
fall for 80 -190O-have been
compiled, and comparison has been
made with the records of 1G stations in
France and across the border in ad.
jacent countries. The leading rainfall
features for each month and for each
year have been summarized. A wide
variation over small patches of terri
tory is Indicated, and while the annual
precipitation is more than 40 inches at
very few stations. it is 4S inches in the
MOnts d'Arree, and only 20 to q inches
in the basins of the Seine, the Loire
and the Disc. In nearly all parts Of
the territory, the wettest month is Oc-
tOber. The rainfall for this month eX-
ceeds four inches in the country Of
CauX, the department of the Manche,
the western part of Brittany and the
heights Of Gatine, reaching the maxi
mum Of six inches at Saussemesnil,
and the driest areas, with fall of two
to three inches, are the middle valley
of the Seine, the basin of the Eure,
and in the Beauce. The driest month
is February.

RULES MADE FOR
PACKING HOUSES
Summary of What War Has Done
for Benefit of Consumers of
Animal Products.
DOWNFALL OF Stacker CAN
Government Has Refused to Tolerate
Use of Tin for Canning Air-Poi-
sonous Disinfeetants Are
Also Forbidden.

While the various governmental
agencies have always taken more than
ordinary precautions to safeguard con-
sumers against any evils that might
result from canned meats, contingent
cies arising out of the present state
Of war have resulted in even more
perfect protection for soldiers and
civilian alike.
An old evil in the canning industry
was what has recently been called the
Stacker can" 1t was not able to
survive the state of war. The partly
filled can, like other slackers, had to
go. The mere bringing of cans up to
the low net-cOntent weight printed on
their lsbels is no longer all that is re-
luired. The can must be filed. The
war bought a shortage of tin and the
/ government refused to tolerate the
! use Of tin for canning air.
Poisonous Disinfectants Forbidden.
Extraordinary precautions are being
tahen also in. other particulars. A re-
cent regulatory announcement from
tie bureau of animal industry, United
ntates department of agriculture, for
! bids the keeping Of sudh OdOrless poi
soHs as bichlOride of mercury in pack
! ing houses and directs that hot water
containing approximately l per cent
Of salsoda (sOdium carbOnate) shall
be used for disinfecting all instru-
ments.
The bureau has supplied all sta
tiOns with special thermometers for
making temperature tests of meats,
and inspectors are instructed to close
" supervise the handling of all meats
and products of a kind prepared Gus
tomarily to be eaten without cooking
and which contain any muscle tissue.
The inspectors are instructed also 10
see that all meats which are not rem
dered into lard or tallow and which
are utilized for food purposes shall be
sterilized by heating so that all por-
lions of the meat are brought to a
temperature of 10 degrees Fahren-
heit and maintained at this tempera-
lure for not less than 80 minutes.
Different Cooking Methods.
The bureau Of animal industry does
1ot specify the cooking necessary to
Insure that all parts of the meat are
heated to the minimum temperature.
That was regarded as impracticable |
on account of the fact that different |
Wethods of cooking are used in differ |
snt packing establishments for vari-
GUS weights Of products. The inspec-
tors are instructed to apply good judg-
ment to each individual case, to make
The necessary test, to determine the
tacts and to be guided accordingly.

Hoe as Freedoms Weapon.

ave, the people Of the United
States, in gardens assembled might
well be the beginning of a new pre-
amble Of American liberty, stating that
the people had decided to fight for
freedom with hoes, prOclaiming to the
world the declaration that the welfare,
prosperity and happiness of this ma
ton are to be maintained; that the
freedom of other peoples Is to be guar
anteed against oppression" writes
Charles Lathrop Pack, president o. the
national war garden commission, in
the Peoples Home Journal.
This preamble could state that it
had been decided by "an American
people armed with hoes" that they
would help to raise enough food to win
the war. Every man in the army
would be doing his duty in the trenches
Of his own back yard or a nearby va
cant lot. The work in these trenches
is just as important as that in the
front battle lines of Europe. 1t will
constitute as vital factor in the final
result.

CoLoNISTs HAD LAST LAUGH
"Yankee Doodle" Composed by Brit.
i0h officer In Ridieulo, Became
War Song Of Free Men.

History tells us the origin Of our
national mnrch-the famous yankee
Doodle" For more than $50 years II
has led us 10 victory. Few, perhaps,
remember that 10 an English wit and
musical genius we are indebted for the
old tune. But true II Is, although II
was composed IN spirit Of rnillery,
awakened by the sight Of the yankee
DoOdles who came 10 town" In answer
TO General Amherst's appeal @ the coll
Onles for aid.
lt was In the summer Of 1865 that
the British army was cncamped on the
east bank Of the Hudson, n little below
Albany.
They were 10 open campaign against
the French Canadians, ana the we'll
disciplined and uniformed troops
awaited the arrival of the volunteers.
In they came, n motley crowd, old
men, mlddle-aged men and young men,
hut all with brave hearts beating and
strong arms ready 10 do battle. Some
were mounted on ponies, others on old
farm horses taken from the plow, and
many with Il zeal which knew no IA
tigue, hurried in on foot.
Each carried his own outfit and pro-
visions. No two were dressed alike;
there were long coats and short coats,
and no coats mt all there were high
hats and low hats. covering closely
cropped heads, or wigs with flowing
curls. In they marched, and the regu-
lar soldiers made merry at their ex-
pense
Even the officers were not better
hammered, and the surgeon, Doctor
Shackburg, entertained his friends ut
mess by playing yankee Doodle
which he had composed in derisiOn OF
the volunteers.
Greatly TO the amusement of the
British officers, the provncials recelv-
ed the tune in good faith, when Doctor
Shackburg gravely assured them that
IL was celebrated mir of martial
music" and daily it was heard played
in their camp.
Little did those merry Englishmen
realize that the time would come when
to those ringing notes the same colon
lists would march to freedom.
Twenty years later yankee Doodle
cheered the heroes of Bunker Hill, and
later still, more than ever cndpared to
American hearts, It was eXultantly
played as Lord CORVALLIS army
marched into Washington's camp at
Yorktown.

OUR BOYS LOVER THERE"

. In very little while now there

2 on the firing line in France and
. Flanders.
9 Already there are some mil
Q lions of British and French boys
: on that line-boys who have
. been there, some of them, for
four years, offering their lives
0 in defense of your home quite as
much as of their own, warding
, off the atrocities of the Boche
: brutes from your loved ones,
, though they have not been quite
: able to ward them off from their
: own mothers and sisters.
) All of those boys, ours and
others, will remain there, and the
} cry "They shall not pass!" will
be made gOOd-so long as the
flow of American meats across
the ocean is ample and uninter-
} rupted.
The requirement Of US at home
is very simple requirement.
1t does not limit us in any way
} to a meatless diet. 1t leaves us
large choice of very excellent
J meats.
But it does demand that we
eat less of beef, no canned beef,
and not too much of any meat
that is at all suitable for over {
seas.
OF course, none of us would Z
deliberately fail to do that little !
bit for the men who are sacri-
ficing for us their treasure Of I
youth and hope and love. No
American worthy the name ex- {
ats his belly above the sacred !
things of home and country. {
Only some of us might be

In 1908 it was estimated that for
every 800 miles flown one life was sac
rificed. BY 1910 the mileage per fa-
tality had risen to $500. In 1911 the
distance had increased to 1900 (statis-

mileage as 62,500 per fatality. Sta
tistics relating to army flying in the
United States show that in 1916 400,-
600 miles were flown without fatal
accident, and in the first few months
of the present year 1853, 700 miles were
flown without casualty, this COM
