SEATS DEDICATED BY
Church OF Covenant
In Memory Of Young Men Who
Have Fallen in War@Service
Flag on Each Chair.
CAT TALES.

The Church Of the Covenant at the
morning service yesterday made a sue
cessful start in a novel method Of
meeting the cost Of the two big side
galleries that are being erected to in
crease its seating capacity. Each seat
therein may be reserved by a member
Of the congregation, and announcement
vas made that three had already been
so reserved and paid for in memory of
young men of the church who have
lost their lives abroad and who are
represented by gold stars on the big
service nag that tanks the pulpit.
These men are Stuart Walcott, Army
aviator.,wh was brought down behind
the German lines last winter; Albert
droplane was destroyed in channel wa
tors by the enemy. and Alan Clephane,
. commissioned officer in the Navy,
who died in this city some months ago.
Service Flag on Each Chair.
On the back of each of these chairs
will hang small service nag, and the
seat will be always at the disposal Of
the ushers to offer strangers.
The proposition was then made that
other seats be paid for and reserved
Tor other men of the church in service,
to be used by visitors until their re-
long to the men themselves. The idea
met with instant approval, and from
all parts Of the auditorium came verbal
requests SO to reserve one or more
church in service. but Oh behalf Of relax
tives not even members OF the congre-
cation
II myself reserve fourteen-three for
my three sons In service and the others
Charles Henry Butter 81 the board Of
trustees, who conducted the proceed
tngs. Gen. s. B. M. Young, governor
Of the Soldiers Home. made a number
OF reservations in honor of members
of his family in service. and similar
requests for one. two and three seats
came In rapidly. Others memorialized
included members Of the family of JUS
Tee Fitney Of the Supreme Court.
II. B. F. Mcfarland and Representative
William B. Mckinley Of Illinois
Further Reservations Expected.
Indications are that a further con-
siderable number Of reservations will
be made during the present week. As
the gallery seats are in tiers the effect
Of large service nag on each side of
the church.
The extent and enthusiasm with
which the Church Of the, Covenant has
thrown itself into all forms of WIZ
work with a special welcome to men
In uniform and other war workers at
all regular services, a short time ago
necessitated the erection of a spacious
gallery in the rear Of the church which
seats several hundred. 1t is already
taxed to capacity and now two more
will be constructed to relieve the con-
Gestion.

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF WHEAT
Shortage Has Shown Us the Wonder.
fuI and Unique Qualities Contained
in the Grain.

AS absence makes the heart grow
fonder, so does scarcity of wheat in
wife attention to its wonderful and
unique qualities as food. We have been
eating wheat products all these years
as a. matter of course, and 1t never oc-
CURED to us that we might ever be
called on to go without them. Now
that 1t is necessary to use wheat sub
stltutes, we have discovered that use
full as they are there Is nothing that
really takes the place of wheat flour.
The magic of the wheat lies in its
gluten-what the baker refers to as
the binder" He must have Il certain
proportion of wheat flour to furnish
the binder, or his oatmeal bread or his
rice pastry C1'umbles. The substitutes
have the same nourishment as the
wheat. But they lack the quality of
the wheat flour crust. There is moth
Ing in them to imprison the gases lib
Grated by yeast, and so they refuse to
rise like wheat dough. Bread made of
the substitutes Is heavy and soggy I'M
less there is enough wheat dough
mixed in to give ii life.
Without wheat we go without
bread, without cake, without pie, with
out strawberry shortcake. No affec-
ton for corn pone can make 1t sub
stitute for all these stand-bys of the
table. If 1t is necessary for the sake
of the war, We shall cheerfully go
Any deprivation we may feel
Is as nothing to what our associates in
arms already have undergone. But we
shall look forward to the happy days
when there will be an abundance OF |
wheat once more.-Kansas City Star.

IT Is apparent from the fact that

tors is now actually being used on the

remainder, or 10000 horse power. is
actually being used for miscellaneous

on. The only thing that we are not

blowing and cultivating. and this now
