600 Steamships Will
Observe The LESS" DAYS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Operators of
more than 500 steamships have agreed
to adopt the wheat and meat-saving
menus proposed by the food administra-
ton for ships plying in the Atlantic
and Gulf of Mexico.
With eight wheatless meals a week,
one meatless day a week and one meat
less meal a day, it Is estimated that
reduction of about so per cent in
wheat and meat consumption will be eff
fected. In addition, consumption of pork
is to be cut about IS per cent by serv
ing that product only three times a
week.

From first to last rain, snow, Sleet and
blizzard temperature prevailed. The sun

could not melt the sleet on the limbs
of the trees. 1t was bitter cold nearly
all the time.
If the coal situation had been less

we can hardly ever forget you! The only
thing you can do for US will be the
recollection that you have made war
times so gloomy and so terrible that
maybe peace will not be long deferred.
Blessed are the feet of those who
shall bring the glad tidings of great
peacev
The mortality in camps has been par
alelled by the mortality among aged
people Mental suffering has a great
deal to do with our physical being.
1t was often remarked during the Civil
war and Immediately thereafter that
elderly people died off at a high per-
centage rate. Those of you who overs
look the mortuary record in the daily
papers will remark the excessive death
rate among men and women near to and
over seventy. These are depressing
things to dwell upon, however Smile

under difficulties. Smileage will con-
tinue with us as the word "camoufage',

EUROPEAN nroNARcHs.

Except France and Switzerland, every
prominent country in Europe had its
monarchical ruler at the outbreak of
war in August, 1914. Russia has lost
it's czar and King Albert of Belgium is
in exile at this time. All our allies are
monarchies, except France. 1t is hard
to understand conditions as we COM
ment on our liabilities and assets in
war matters
Germany and Austria have monarchs,
and Austria's ruler is only the tool of
the kaiser. Bulgaria is mixed up with
Turkey and both have mOnarchs
1t is predicted. and confidently hoped
for, that this European war will re-
map Europe. 1t may and it may not, be-
cause Poland is in absolute control Of
Germany. 1t looks like Germany can
push a button in Russia and the mob
will do the rest. With Austria-Hungary
in close alliance with Germany, with
Turkey in close alliance with the enc
mics of the allies, with a king in Italy,
things are very much mixed as to where
monarchs fade out and democracy
comes on the stage. England is what is
known as a limited monarchy. Canada,
our near neighbor, is a part of the Brit
ish government, with home rule and
other privileges, unknown to Germans
and her warlike allies.
The republic of France differs from
the republic of the United States in
many essential particulars. 1t is well to
understand this now. To be entirely
candid, this government of ours is stu
on trial. 1t has lasted a good many
years-since July 4, 1776,-but 1t is, by
comparison, a new government COM
pared with European governments now
in bloody conflict There is so much
confusion, things are of such mighty
magnitude, and difficulties are so many
that I think we in the United States
should unite in Kipling's Recessional-
81 ord God of Hosts, be with US vet"

KILOGRAMS TAKEN
BY MESSENGERS ON
TRAINS, DISCOVERED

Washington. June 20.-Transmis-
slon OF night letter kilograms bv train
messenger instead of by wire between
eastern cities is a practice OF long
standing. 1t "a learned today after
the posto1ice department had taken
action to stop the traffic by arrestins
five train agents of the Western Union
company who had brief cases Hlled
with hight MESSAGES which they were
carrying between New York. boston,

si'onsihle for it will be cha god With
violating the law giving the govern
ment postal system a monopoly of the
transmission Of public communica-
tons by train or other post routes. It
was estimated today that a few high
officials OF the company knew Of the
practice. Upon conviction they would
be subject to the penalty of $500 fine
or six months Imprisonment for each
offense.
By leaving either end Of their routes
on midnight trains, messengers usually
were able to deliver bundles of mess
ages in the destination cities early the
Following morning and the kilograms
then were distributed to the address
sees as If they had just come by wire.
Reports reaching the postoffice de-
partment today were that the system
of sending quantities Of messages by
train had been in effect for many
years, and that since it often relieved
wires already overburdened and re-
suited in delivery as promptly as II
they had actually been telegraphed,
the practice was considered justified.

PATRIOTISM OF
AMERICANS TO
BE TESTED AGAIN
Restoration of Soldiers to
Economic and Industrial
Life Next Big Step.

Detroit, June 21.-America's patri-
otism in equipping and sending her
armies to France will again be tested
in restoring to industrial and econom-
ic life, the soldiers crippled in action
overseas, said DR.. Henry A. Whit
march. of Providence, r. l., in speak,
ing today before the surgical and
genealogical section Of the American
institute of homeopathy. The institute
is holding it's seventy-fourth annual
convention here.
pointed out, that the work of recon-
struction begin at once, before there
sets in the period of depression natur-
al in enforced idleness. Psychology
teaches, and practice Inc experience
prove, the wisdom Of early remedial
measures beginning before the wound
ed man has fully recovered. The fight
ing spirit of the trench and firing line
is encouraged to continue the fight in
civil life against even great odds"
In no previous war, Dr.. Whitmarch
declared has blindness been so great
as in the present conflict. The present
percentage he said was no more than
five, against the SO per cent in the
Franco-Prussian Marvellous re-
suits, DR.. Whitmarch declared has
been attained in again placing blind
ed persons on an economic footing
enabling him to earn a living. Con-
tinuing he said:
elimination of the word Cripple
is an expression not so extravagant if
we remember that in the broad sense
Of limitations we are all cripples; at
least we would be unequal to the or
binary daily rounds if deprived of
artificial aids. The problem therefore
Is to maintain in the manned the right
mental attitude toward manly toll and
find the kind of work for which the
individual is best suited"

ADVANCE IS
MADE IN STEEL
First Hour Of Stock Market

Strength.

New York. June 21.-Steels and
equipments made material advances
in the active first hour Of the stock
market today. Their rise was &C
cQmpanied by reports from Washing
ton of q probable early upward re-
vision Of the existing steel and iron

for profits soon reduced much Of this
advantage which did not extend to
specialties Of the ~so-called war class.

NO WORRY ABOUT HEAT.

Z" Des Moines, Ia, June 21.-Soldiers
at Camp Dodge are not worrying over
tho heat this ear, for it has been
found that the camp located 9 miles
from Des Moines is cooler than it is
in the city itself. This is possible OFF,
GERS declare due to the installation of
new ventilation system.
The soldiers themselves, too, have
devised numerous ways Of combating
the hot rays of "Old SOL" during the
day and still comply with army
lations. Officers assert a trim olive
drab coat, neatly buttoned up under
h chin tells no secrets-but often
times, they assert, only a track ath-
lete's costume is under the uniform.
Don't be too insistent these warm
,dayB on q soldier removing his coat
to be comfortable" one officer
laughingly remarked in explaining one
OF the numerous ways soldiers have
devised in an effort to keep cool.
