three meals a day at a largemess hall,
and E. A. Pickens, who has catered
successfully to so many reunions in
the past, is in Tulsa waiting for his
old friends to come. He will cater to
all their needs.
Ample provision will be made for
the annual reunion balls. Special eff

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
AMERICANS NEAR SWITZER-
 LAND

Yesterdays cable dispatches con- taining information that American troops are now occupying three sectors on the Western front and that an American force has made its first raid on enemy trenches are most encouraging.
 The new sector occupied by |. s. soldiers is at the extreme easter1 end oF the Westera front. close to the border of Switzerland, and at that point Allied trenches actually pierce about 50 miles of German ter' ritory.
 For the past three years England has tried time and again to pierce the German line in Belgium, but owing to the nature of the ground and the vast quantities of mud, she thus far has been unable to actually break Hindeuburg's defense. Now that American forces Ere on the oT+ posite end of the battle front, it is not out of place 70 predict that an offensive will be tried there, and tts fact that this sector is in German territory adds weight to our prophecy
 When a German is fighting el- bow to elbow with his friend, he is undoubtedly a good fighter. but not a whit better than tha Allies. When 3 German is fighting alone he Is a coward. We win find the Ger man is also a coward when the Al lies make any considerable advance On German territory. When the war is brought homo. the Germans will realize all the horrors and ter TOTS incident with r.. They know what they have inflicted on con- Quered peoples. For that heason we believe when Allied armies get far into German territory, the Germans will throw down their arms rather than take any chances of being treated Ike they did to Belgians and French.

Woman's lot is weary one at best. But with backache and oth- CT distressing kidney ills life in deed becomes a burden. Doan's Kid hey Pills have made life brighter fol many women. Read what Mrs. Ron Cookston, of 1909 E. First Ave, Spokane, Wash, says: "The grip put my kidneys out of order and l suffered with a heavy dull pain in the small of my back which kept getting more severe Some days I could hardly do my work for It was almost impossible to bend over. My kidneys were weak and annoyed me a great deal, too. l was worried because my feet swell cd and because of the puffiness un- der my eyes. One box of Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief and after I had used two boxes I was feel rg fine in everyway." (State- ment given October 16, 1915.)

ing the four-foot lengths, however,
most people nowadays have the sticks
cut in twofoot lengths by gasoline
saw. This results in saving of both
time and labor. The purchaser
should, however, take care to see that
he gets full measurement when wood
Is bought in this way. In parts of New
England a stack of 16-inch wood 4
feet high and feet long is commonly.
sold as run" but contains only one
third of a cord.
Where wood is to be burned in
stove or furnace intended for coal, 1t
will be found desirable, the foresters
say, to cover the CRATE partly
with sheet iron or fire brick, in order
to reduce the draught. II this is not
done the wood is wasted by being
consumed too fast, and makes very
hot fire which in furnace may dam
age the fire box.
It is pointed out, however, that heat
value is not the only test of useful
ness in fuel wood and since 95 per
cent of all wood used fer fuel Is cos
sumed for domestic purposes, largely
in farm houses, such factors as rapid
ity of burning and ease of lighting are
important. Each section Of the coun-
try has its favored woods and these
are said to be, is general, the right
ones to use. Hickory, OF the non.res-
inous woods, has the highest fuel val
ue per unit volume of wood, and has
other advantages. 1t burns evenly.
and, as housewives say, holds the heat.
The oaks come next, followed by
beech, birch and maple. The white
pines have relatively low heat value
per unit volume, but have other ad-
vantages. They ignite readily and give
out quick hot flame, but one that
soon dies down. This makes them IA
vorites with rural housekeepers as
summer wood, because they are par
ticularly adapted for hot days in the
kitchen. The same is true of gray
birch, or white BIRCH" as it is often
called, in the regions in which it
abounds. With the resinous pines q
drawback is their oily black smoke.

THE FUEL VALUE OF WOOD

Persons who plan to relieve the coal
shortage by burning wood can figure,
roughly speaking, that two pounds of
seasoned wood have fuel value equal
to one pound of coal, according to ex-
perts Of the Forest Service. While
different kinds Of wood have differ
|. ent fuel values, the foresters say that
in general the greater the dry weight
of non-resinous wood, the more heat
it will give out when burned.
For such species as hickory, oak.
beech, birch, hard maple, ash, locust.
lOngleaf, pine or cherry, which have
comparatively high fuel values, one
cord, weighing about 1000 pounds, is
required to equal one ton Of coal.
1t takes cord and a half of short
leaf pine, hemlock, red gum, Douglas
fir, sycamore, or soft maple, which
weighs>about 5000 pounds a cord, to
equal ton of coal, while for cedar,
redwood, poplar, catalpa, Norway
pine, cypress Eastwood, spruce, and
white pine, two cords, weighing about
1000 pounds each, are required.
Weight for weight, however, there
is very little difference between vari-
, Gus species. Resin affords about twicU
as much heat as wood, so that resin
, Gus woods, and this increased value
varies. OF course. with the resin con-
tent.
The available heat value OF cord
of wood depends also on the amount
OF moisture present. When the wood
is green part of the heat which 1t is
capable of yielding is taken up in
evaporating the water. The greater
amount Of water in the wood the more
heat is lost.
Furthermore. cords vary as to the
amount of solid wood they contain,
even when they are OF the standard
dimensions and occupy 1913 cubic feet
OF space. A certain proportion of this
space is made up of air spaces be-
tween the sticks, and this air space
may be considered in cord OF twist
ed, crooked, and knotty sticks. Out
of the 1913 cubic feet. fair average
of solid wood is about 80 cubic feet.
This, however. applies to the stand
ard cord. in which the sticks are cut
to fourfoot lengths and piled 4 feet
high and feet long. Instead OF buy

The forward bow port-boat was in
the water now and the mother of the
three, with her wee babe, was lowered
carefully into the arms of the waiting
oarsmen. The Oldest child, boy Of
about nine, went next, then four wo-
men passengers, Isabelle passing her
turn when it came. By this time a
second boat was under the lee, and
was being rapidly filled by men who
could slide down the falls.

women were all taken care Of Take

At that second there came an eXplo-
sion which almost shook us from our
feet. I gripped Isabelle to hold her
up, and she chung to the child. From
the boat, the mother gave an agonized
cry and held out her arms for the
babe. Then a man seized the little
one, leaping over the rail into the
water, and we saw the two dragged
into the boat, father and child.
Pull away there!" roared Captain
Blake. Both boats away" and the
men at the oars gave quick obedience.
In another moment wide span of
water separated ship and boats, and
Isabelle was still on the deck beside
me.

apology for his profanity.
"How long will we float?" l asked
him, spelling his effort.
"Ten minutes-fivc. She's settling

Captain Blake interrupted him. He
came up to us. shouting orders to the
four men still aboard, orders that
sent us all scurrying to the starbOard

side.
"Get in" he ordered Isabelle, and
srasped her arm, but she shook her
self loose.
"I1l get in without help from you."
she cried, and climbed into the boat in
It's davits.
Blake scowled, not understanding
at all why she spurned his help. He
knew that he had been acting gallant
ly, bravely and believed he was en-
titled-as he was-to the gallery ap-
