Associated Press Dispatch.
 New York, Feb. 27.-German news papers of the first half of January recently received here have suspic- iously little to say on the food situa- ton, which for two years before was an important topic for discussion in practically all the Berlin papers. The coming political strike, evoked by food difficulties and the prospect of an indefinite prolongation of the war through the attitude of the German delegates at Brest-Litovsk, was perhaps, casting it's shadow be- fore and causing the censor to dis courage publication of news calculat- ed to augment the dissatisfaction of the working people.
 A decree of the Prussian commits sion on Food Administration mention ed, however, that mortality during recent months had been as high as fifty per cent above that of 1913 and, for that reason, prescribed increased rations for tubereular patients, upon whom the effects of undernutrition are felt with particular severity.
 Food Director Waldow launched a illumination against various offend ing municipalities, which were pay ing above the maximum prices for various kinds of food in order to as- sure supply for their inhabitants and were thereby, he declared, con- tributing largely to the steady driv- ing up of prices and to the disregard of the food laws.
 The newspapers, none of which is a friend of the food director, retort- ed very sharply that it was impossi- ble for the municipalities to secure enough food to feed their populations without disregarding the maxima, which is a general practice through out Germany, and declared that Min ister Waldow could find, if he sought them, lawbreakers enough among the Prussian state offices and war food bureaus
 Vorwaerts, for example remarked that the central administration of the Province of Brandenburg distributed flour among it's employees for Christ

mas at price equivalent to eighty cents a pound; that the Berlin po- lice prefecture sold butter to officials at the equivalent of $2.12 per pound; that state factory gladdened its employees with marmalade at 75 cents and beef for $1.1S pound and that one of the food distribution bureaus under Minister Waldow secured for it's employees as Christmas favor a very poor quality of pork, which it sold to them at S1.75 per pound.
 The principal rations of the Berlin population were still on the same meager scale as for months a pound of potatoes per day, four pounds of bread, one-half pound of meat and about an ounce of butter per week.
 A slight improvement in the milk situation had been noted, permitting the restoration of the earlier rations of milk for children, one quart for those up to two years, three quarters of quart for those below the age of four and pint for children between four and six years. Expectant moth CTS also receive a ration of un- skinned milk. Skinned milk could be obtained by other privileged ones, not by the general population.

Vice State Chairman of War Savings Stamps Campaign Delivers Ad-
 dress At High School.

Mrs. T. T. Gotham of Little Rock, vice state chairman of the War Say ings Stamps campaign, addressed a large audience at the school audit orium Tuesday afternoon, her topic of discussion having to do with the campaign which she is promoting. Mrs. Gotham is one of the foremost women of the state in all departments of women's work, and her visit here was greatly appreciated. She urged the women to do their duty in carry ing on to a successful conclusion the work given them in order that victo- " may be attained.
 "If the people at home refuse to do their part, how are the men to be kept in action on the firing line ?" she said, and urged the women to save in every way and practice the most rigid economy. Especially did she appeal to the high school girl to earn and to save.
 The schools of Newport are unus- ually progressive and patriotic and the teachers and others connected with the institutions are certainly to be commended. The pupils have as- sisted in the promotion of every fea- ture of war work.

Here's the Wdp One School Bop
 Spends Recess

There may be whole lot of women in this country who ought to be knit ting but are not. If there are any failing to aid their country in this way, they have failed to become thoroughly convicted as to what this war is about and for. We'll, just for their information and inspiration, we should like to cite them to a little S. year-old boy. His name is Elmer Sutton, son of MT. and Mrs. l.. D.. Sutton. He knits, and never drops a stitch without picking it right up. He was seen at noon today sitting on the sidewalk in front of the high school building on Walnut street. He was industriously manipulating his needles and weaving his yarn into not at all badly shaped wash rag.
 ".What are you doing, son?" he was asked.
 .Knitting," was his enthusiastic reply.
 "What for?"
 "The soldiers" he informed the in terested person.
 We are told that many children in the high school building are being taught this work. Some of the little folks exhibit rare ability and aptness, and very few of the articles are dis carded as useless.

Air RevoIves With Earth.

"A balloon is sent up at New York
city on an absolutely calm day, re-
mains in the air for one hour, drifting
in the moderate currents of the upper
air, and descending a few miles from
the place from which it was sent up.
How is it that the place of descent is
not some spot adjacent to Chicago, if
the theory of the earth's revolution is
correct?" This problem was propounded
in a letter to the Scientific American,
and received this answer: The simple
answer to your inquiry is that the air
is part Of the earth and rotates with it
just as the water does. If it did not
there would be tremendous wind from

Ability Of Hog to outrun Darky Gets
Razorback Blue Ribbon in South
ern Swine Exhibit.

An ex-governor Of Georgia, and ex
offlcio an expert on hogs, was invited
to judge the swine at an Indiana coun-
ty fair. He looked over the pens, and
the choice narrowed down to two hogs,
one magnificent animal of the Indi-
ana corn-fed variety, Of tremendous
weight, and the other lean and rangy
specimen, whose pedigree must have
embraced large numEer of razor
backs. The governor, after an appro-
pirate judicial interval, pinned the blue
ribbon on the rangy one. A friend
nudged his elbow.
"Governor," he said, there's been
some mistake. Look at the weight of
that other hog"
"Son," returned the governor, ''down
in Georgia we've got different ideas
about judgin' a hog. The ability Of
the hog to outrun a darby counts just
six points. The razorback keeps that

COLD FEET CAUSE TROUBLE
Chilled Extremities May Be Held Re-
sponsibIe for Many Physical Ills,
Says Physician.

Cold feet are generally a sign of
poor circulation. They usually accom-
pany such diseases as acne and ro-
sacea. Rosacea is that redness of the
face that comes from dilatation of the
capillaries of the skin and looks like
fine red network, especially about a
Dubious nose.
DR.. Douglass w. Montgomery of San
Francisco, in an article on Rabelais'
descriptions of rGsacea, quotes a ia
nous English physician in holding that
cold feet were the cause Of rosacea,
adding lit may very well be that he
was correct, as chilled extremities es-
pecially in sedentary people, undoubt-
eddy react disadvantageously on the
internal organs, causing catarrhs and
other COMPOSITIONS and lowering the re-
sistance to infection, and all Of these
are the steady Accompaniment of
rosacea.
Furthermore, those who have rosa
cea habitually have cold feet, and it is
very difficult for them to get them

First Australian Sheen.

Australian wool, on which has been
built up much Of that British colony's
prosperity, started more than one hun
dred years ago. It originated with
a certain Captain Macarthur, a SOL
der in the British army. Settling in
New South Wales, soon after Cover
nor Phillip arrived there, he saw the
possibilities for growing fine wool, and
by the luckiest accident was able in
1895 to import five merino ewes and
three rams. They were of a flock
presented by the king Of Spain to the
Dutch at the cape, and came from the
famous Escurial flock. These, judici-
ously added to by Macarthur, were
the beginning Of the vast Australian
sheep industry of today. The first
shipment of. Australian wool was 245
pounds in 1907; now the shipments
run into hundreds of millions of
pounds.--Indianapo News.
