 The first news was given here in this terse announcement from the war department:
 The war department has been uld- cially advised that the steamship Tuscania was torpedoed and sunk and that survivors numbering l,l00 as tai as could be ascertained, were landed at Buncranna and Larne in Ireland. There was a total of 2,179 United States troops on this vessel No names of persons lost has been reported to the war department and no name of survivors was reported Additional particulars are promised as soon as received"
 The state departments dispatch gave the number of soldiers on board as 2.l72, six less than the war de- partment report It told of plans for caring for the survivors. The state department issued this statement.
 "1'he latest adyices received by the state department from the embassy at London regarding the Tuscania is that at eleven D. m. February 6, the latest information was that i 1,912 off cers and men on the Tuscania were accounted for out of 2173.

First Reports Received Accounted for Only HOO of the Officers and Men Being Landed, Which Was Later Changed to 1912.
The Tuscania Was One of the Finest Ships Afloat Before Being Converted Into a Trans port, and When Attacked Was Under Convoy of British Warships.

Washington, Feb G-The Cunard liner Tuscania, carrying 2,i1g AmcH- can soldiers, has been torpedoed and sunk off the Irish coast, but official reports late tonight said 1912 of the officers and men had been saved and indicated that the list of rescued might prove eyen larger The troops com posed chieny 0r amendments of Mich igan and Wisconsin national guJrds7 men. were travelling on the Tuscania. a British vessel under convoy of British warehips
 X brief dispatch to the war depart ment from London early this evening announced the disaster and reported the landing of only HOO survivors This was made public shortly after ten o'clock and for mere than two hours it was feared that prooably 14Oo men. including members of the liners crew, had gone down
 When a message came to the state department from the embassy at Lon don saying at fl o'cDck tonight l,2l2 ol the American had been accounted for. the joy of officials almost swept away the distress occasioned by the earlier news The first Ll00 suryi- yors were landed at Laue and Bun cranna. two widely seperated Irish ports and this coupled with the evil dent fact that rescue ships were at hand quickly gave rise to hope that nearly everybody on board the Tus- cania except those injured by the eX- nlosion might have been saved
 The president, Secretary Baker, ana in fact, all official Washington were up late waiting for additional news Only the briefest dispatches were re ceived and none gave details of the attack on the liner.
 Even the time was missne but 1t was assumed that 1t occurred earl5 this morning, as the first message was filed at London at o'clock this af- ternoon. probably within an hour after the relief ships reached the Irish coast

REJUVENING WALL PAPER

Perhaps everyone does not know
that there are patent preparations
which will clean wall paper very
successfully. One kind comes in
the form of powder and is mixed to
the consistency of putty by adding
water. The paper is rubbed clean
with this preparation and if not
too, badly stained or faded, it will
look like new. Papers should be
spread on the floor to catch the par
ticles which rub off, for if stepped
on they are hard to clean up.
Sometimes a mass of soggy bread
can be used for the cleaning, but it
is better to prepare some dough
which contains no shortening, to
avoid getting any oil on the paper.
Some badly stained and faded
plain ingram paper was cleaned by
washing. A big paint brush is
needed Clean dust off paper, then
dip brush in warm water and brush
over surface of paper. Be sure that
it is all wet evenly. When dry the
paper will look almost like new. If
not sure of your paper, it would be
we'll to try a small inconspicious
place first to test out the method 81
be sure that it will work on that
particular kind of paper.

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO BECOME
"HOOvER SOLDIERS" :.

Every school child in Kentucky

Hereafter if mamma" and papa
fail to observe the wheatless and
meatless days and meals requested
by President Wilson, S-year-old
Johnnie and 6-year-old Susie will
demand to know the reason why.
The idea of putting the school
children to work along the food
line, conceded to be the most dan
gerous part of the battle line, orig
mated with State Superintendent
V. o. Gilbert. Superintendent Gil
bert preached the idea to j. w.
Burns, chairman of the travelling
mems division of the food admins
tration, who thought it a good one.
Mr.. Burns conferred with Federal
Food Administrator F. M. Sackett,
who was equally pleased. The re.
suit was that Superintendent Gill
bert asked the aid Of every school
teacher in Kentucky.
There are 10000 school teachers
in the State having under their
guidance several hundred thousand
pupils. It cost the State of Ken
lucky $500 in postage alone to send
these letters, but Supt. Gilbert. in a
letter to State headquarters of the
food administration, in Louisville,
said, I'VE believe the money spent
for this postage will not be vast

DISASTROUS FIRES SAID TO BE
SPIES WORK.

Indication of widespread plot to
cripple the war activities of the
United States have been seen in a
series of fires in shipyards, on NUM-
tions ships, in war plants and stor-
age buildings at various points
along the Atlantic seaboard and
further inland. Nearly all. Of them
were of distinctly suspicious origin.
Fears that the flames may have
been set by enemy aliens were given
strength by the fact that they start
ed within a few hours at widely
separate points almost a week to a
day after Edward N. Hurley, chair
man of the United States Shipbuild-
ing Board, gave warning Of Ger

plants of all kinds producing nipple

Disastrous fires started only a

GOVERNMENT PROHIBITS
SELLING OF HENS AND
PULLETS FOR FOOD.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.--Dealing
or trading in live or freshly killed
hens or pullets anywhere in the
United States is forbidden in an order
announced Monday by the United
States food administration.
February ID is fixed as the date by
which time fresh stock must be dis
posed of, and after which additional
stock may not be purchased.
By restricting the killing of chick
ems which should be heavy layers, the
food administration hopes to increase
the production of eggs and allow
them to be put into storage at a
reasonable price.
Notice of the new ruling, which
has been sent to all produce ex-
changes and concerns dealing in
poultry, reads as follows:
1'The following rule has been
adopted in connection with special
rules and regulations governing deal
ers in poultry and eggs:
"The icensee shall not, between
February IL, 1918, and April 80,
1918, purchase, ship, sell or nego-
tate the sale of any live or freshly
killed hens or pullets, provided, how
ever, that this shall not prevent the
purchase, shipment or sale between
February IL and February %, 1918,
hens or pullets which were either kill
ed or shipped prior to February IL,
to markets for sale as food, and pro-
vided further, that nothing in this
rule shall prevent the purchase, ship
ment or sale of live hens or pullets
for egg producing purposes"
Under ruling of the United States
Food Administration milling division,
effective Monday, -four may be put
up and sold in one sixteenth barrels
or 12A pound packages.
Under the previous ruling of the
Food Administration the use of the
smaller package was not allowed, al
though dealers were permitted to
break the larger sacks and sell any
quantity.
The new substitution" regulation
requiring the individual consumer to
take -four substitutes with all pur-
chases of wheat flour made it neces-
sary to reinstate the sale and packing
Of the one sixteenth barrel package.

When brakes do not hold it is usu-

them with a thin brush and kerosene,
rinse off with gasoline and permit them
to dry. Then spread on lubricating

This will raise the fiber, soften the ma
