DECAL0GUE OF WAR
Dr.. Anna Shaw Announces One
for Every Woman.
Wartime Commandments Arranged by
the Professor Of the University
Of Turin.

New York.-Here is the new 'Deca-
iogue Of War;" as announced by DR..
Anna Shaw:
1. Do not chatter. Keep to yourself
the news you hear, your own impress
sions and your apprehensions.
2. Do not listen to alarmists, to
slackers, or those who would spread
encouragement. Silence them.
3. Be moderate in your spending,
neither lavish In gifts nor sordid in
your economies. Let everything in
your life, even your daily expenses,
take on at this moment it's true ma
tional Importance.
4. Encourage national industries,
avoiding imported goods, even though
they may seem better and less costly,
than those made at home.
5. Do not look upon the departure
to the front Of those dear to you as an
abandonment. BfATith them constant
ly in thought, as they are with you,
particularly in the hour of danger.
6. Do not complain Of the difficult
I'CS, u0AOydACSS dlu pIlVdtlOuS CdUS0U
by the war. Think of those who are
dying for their country, and complaint
will halt upon your lips.
z. Multiply your activities, in your
home as we'll as outside, thereby rem
dering yourself useful to your coun-
try by the work Of your hands, the
warmth Of your heart and the charity
Of your intelligence.
8. Exhibit day by day and hour by
hour the same courage a man shows
upon the field Of battle. Instruct the
ignorant, uphold the feeble, console
those who are stricken; transmit your
own confidence to others.
8. No matter how long the struggle
may last, await victory with strength
and patience.
10. If you are stricken in your dear
est affections, bear your sorrow nobly,
that your tears may be worthy of the
hero whose death you mourn.
These wartime commandments were
arranged by the professors of the
University Of Turin.

URGES PATRIOTS TO
EAT MORE CLAIMS

Portland, Ore.-"Eat CLANS"
Is the advice Of DR.. G. H. Ed
mondson, assistant professor Of
zoology at the University Of
Oregon, to all patriotic Ameri-
cans who are trying to conserve
the nations meat supply. He de-
clares the clam is as palatable
as the oyster and has a similar
food value.
Doctor Edmondson suggests
the use Of the clam in place Of
red meats, which the govern
ment is striving to conserve.
This suggestion comes as the re-
suit Of survey he made recent
~ under the direction of the
United States bureau Of fisher
les. His object was to discover
the edible species Of shellfish, to
find where they may be obtained
In quantities and to perfect a
means Of cooperating with those
engaged in marketing this sea
product.

SNOW HELPS IN THE SOUTH
Planters Will Reap Benefit Of Exten.
sion Of Snow Line in South
This Winter.

Memphis, Tenn.-Planters will bene-
fit to the extent Of many thousands of
dollars as result of the snow line
extending far into the South this win
ter. Agricultural experts contend that
where land is covered with snow dur
Ing the winter months it. is more pro-
ductive the following summer. F'reez-
ing weather has extended to the Gulf
coast and snow has fallen to the depth
Of several inches over most of the
Southern states.

CHANCE FOR FORTUNE
Fame Also to Man Who Cures
Measles and Mumps.
Uncle Sans Army and Navy Surgeons
Dread Measles More Than Any
Other Disease.

Washington. Fame and fortune
await the man who can trace to it's
source that periodical bugbear of the
army and navy-the measles and
mumps epidemic.
For some unknown reason, when
ever troops are concentrated, either
In large camps or on board ship, one
OF the first diseases to make it's ap-
pearance Is the measles, and this dis
ease which most Of us place in the
category Of childhood ills, is one of
the most dreaded by army surgeons.
Symptoms of the disease appearing
in any of the men is the signal for
the immediate quarantining Of the
soldiers company and the barracks
where he is located. Fumigation Of
the barracks then follows and every
precaution Is taken to prevent an
epidemic.
An after-effect of measles, greatly
feared by army surgeons, is the devel-
opment Of pneumonia, and it has been
found that the fatalities among ma
ture persons are much greater than
with children. The pneumonia result
has been more prevalent in the canton
ments located in the southern states
than in those Of the North or West.
Generally speaking, surgeons look
for mumps at about the time that
measles appear, and are rarely disap-
pointed. The fatalities through mumps
do not begin to reach the number of
those by measles, but the same rigid
quarantine is observed in both cases.
For many years the best surgeons
in the army have been working on
theories that would eradicate the
source Of these diseases, but they have
to admit that they are now no nearer
solution than ever before.
This is the season of the year that
the epidemics usually start, and it
would not be surprising to hear Of
the quarantining Of entire canton
ment posts in all sections Of the coun.
try through the holiday season.

LIVES IN FEAR OF TROUBLE
Ohio Man Lies Awake Nights Waiting
for His House to Fall
in River.

Decentralization Buelzinski isn't
getting much sleep these nights. He
lies awake waiting for his house to-
tumble onto the Erie railroad tracks.
He has sued the road for $4,000 dam
ages for sleepless nights and depre-
citation of his property.
Buelzinski says the rumbling Of the
Erie trains has caused his yard to
gradually crumble and fall to the val
ley below. When he bought it the
house stood 100 feet from the edge
OF the cliff. Now only Is feet separate
the two. -zE

SUGAR BOWL LOOTlNG
NOW POPULAR FAD

Cleveland, O.!"Madam, kind
ly remove your fist from that
sugar bowl"
It is perfectly permissible for
walters to so address women
patrons found looting the sugar
bowls, County Food Administra-
tor North assured them.
Complaints have been nume7.
GUS the past few days that wom-
en- dropped into downtown lunch
rooms, ordered a cup Of coffee
and a piece Of pie (check, Is
cents) and then walked out with
their muffs full Of sugar cubes.
It has become almost an cpl
demic and the restaurant men,
not wishing to offend, applied to
North for a remedy. But North
did not recommend subtle diplo-
macy on the part Of the walters.

Snakes Home in BeIfry.

Laurel, Del.--A six-foot black snake
fell from the belfry of the Riverton
(Md.) Methodist church onto the
shoulders of Benjamin F. Kennerly,
the sexton, while he was ringing the
bell. Alters lively chase the snake
was cornered in the church auditor
ium and killed. It evidently had made
its home in the belfty and fed on birds
which roost there.

bRIT0NS SMASH GERMAN ATTACKS
 WITH BIG JOSS
"Kaiser Karl" Regiment, Victorious in Italy, Is
 Cut to Pieces.

With the British Army in Fronce,
 July 26.-The German attack this morning had even more disastrous re- suits for the enemy than was at first believed. It proved complete fail ure. It appears the Germans intend ed to reach the Gaza road to the south of Meteren from which they could menace the town. Accordingly they sent over two companies from each regiment of the Twelfth division which has just replaced ither troops who had been badly mauled during the month.
 The Twelfth division came from It. ally. One regiment wears special Kaiser Karl" shoulder straps won for it's successes in the Italian thea tre. This regiment, however, will get no decoration for the deeds 1t. per- formed today. Scotch troops met it and inflicted heavy losses and pre- vented the Germans from getting any where near their objectives. The Germans managed to get one small outpost, that was all. In the same the Australians are busy the Germans about. Their shells have chewed up nearly all of the cross roads, dumps and other targets within range.

LULU MAY BE THt CALM BEFORE A DECISIVE BATTLE Conflict May Be Renewed From Rheims to the
 North Sea. FOCH PLANNING
 BLOW, IS BELIEF Historic Marne Expected to Be Scene of the Greatest Struggle of War, Which Win Turn
 Tide.

Washington, July 26.-Behind the apparent lull in the struggle around the Aisne-Marne salient today the high command of the allied and Ger man armies may be setting stage for the decisive battle of the war
 In that event it seems more than likely to observers here that the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the world conflict will see flame of fighting raging from east of Rheims to the North Sea: but with the crucial conflict in progress some where just north of the historic Marne where the Germans have twice tasted the bitterness of defeat.
 Foch Awaiting Time.
 There is nothing as yet in unoffi- cial reports, however, nor in the off, ficial advices so far as known to show the plans of Gen. Foch. Flickers of fighting have taken place to the north that may have more than loca! significance. There is some evidence of feeling here that the time has not come when a sufficient American ar my has been assembled in France to warrant passing definitely to offen- sive tactics.
 Officers here have watched the bat tie of the last eight days closely for it's wider significance. At first it appeared that the fierce counter at- tack launched by Gen. Foch on the western side fthe Aisne- -Marne sal- tent was inteded only to offset the German effort to encircle Rheims and further exploit the menace to war Paris. As success followed success for the Franco-American troops, however, and as first the Italian and then the British joined in the struggle the na- ture of the operations changed.
 Turned Tables on Enemy. It was clear that the tables had been turned on the enemy and that the nut-cracker tactics he had at- tempted to apply to Rheims were in turn being applied to his armies with in the salient. The enemy was quick to lealize his danger. Behind a stub born rear-guard he drew back across the Marne and today was apparently still struggling northward out of the uepIn O1 the pockeC III Whlcn ne nau been caught.
 Yesterday the advance of the Brit ish northwestward from the region of Rheims aroused hope among off cials here that the allied forces might be able to spring the trap. The Hull to- day, however, seemed to indicate that Gen. Foch was not prepared at this time to press his advantage to his full power in that direction.
 That the main pressure of the allied troops today was rather against thu, blunt apex than against the extended sides of the salient were taken as ar indication that the supreme comman. der was bent more on forcing his op- ponent out of the pocket than to trap him in it.
