Food Value of Fish
Extensive Use Recommended by
Department Of Agriculture

Further evidence that fish deserves
from q recent series Of digestion expert
ments In the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. These tests fur
nished scientific proof that fish, which
has always been reckoned as val
liable food, is very completely util-
ICED in the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
tutterfish, salmon and grayfish-a va
riety not generally used i'm this coun-
try--were made into fish lOaves" and
served as a basis of a simple mixed
diet to young men Of healthy appe-
tites.
Both the protein and the fat Of the
fish were we'll utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfish, 91.9 per cent; grayfish, 92.8
per cent; and salmon, 93.2 per cent.
found to be: Boston mackerel, 95.2
per cent butterfish, 1874 per cent;
grayfish, 94.3 per cent; salmon, 93.7
per cent.
In addition to the fish loaf, the diet
included potatoes, crackers, fruit, SUI
gar, and tea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 44O
grams Of Boston mackerel, All grams
Of butterfish, 44O grams Of grayfish, or
355 grams Of salmon, indicating that
in every case the fish was eaten with
relish.
The department recently has con-
cluded an investigation Of the COM
mercial freezing and storing Of fish,
and q bulletin on that subject says
that this method Of preserving fish will
hold them for many months in the con-
dition in which they were received, but
will not counteract deterioration due
to previous heating or mishandling.
Chemical analysis shows no significant
changes In frozen fish held for 27
months-much longer than would be
necessary or profitable In storing fish
commercially.

Moonlight Work in Gardens.

A new type of garden laborer,
known as the 'moonlighter," has ap-
peared in the suburban country dis
tricts Of England, owing to the short
age of general labOrers. The moon
lighter is worker who is employed
all day. but who is willing to earn a
little extra money by working during
the moonlight nights in the gardens
and allotments. His is the only sort
Of labor that the suburbanites can now
employ In the digging and sowing OF
the vegetable plot which every sub
urban householder regards as an es-
seutlal part Of his household.

New Grader Is Marvel.

A remarkable grading machine,
which, 1t Is claimed. does the work Of
125 men, cutting a smooth path 8
feet z inches wide and as much as
2 feet deep, is now being built to
order for large contractors. Be-
cause 1t will rip out old macadam or
moist clay about as easily as grevel,
it practically standardizes grading
costs, at the same time affording much
needed relief from conditions caused
by the labor shortage.-Popular Me-

Montana Railway Man
Hopes To Run To Berlin

Dillon, Mont, Sept. 2s.-'I am go
ing to eat my Christmas dinner in
Berlin"
This is the declaration Of Frank
Nelson of Dillon, SO years of age, but
neither too old nor too proud to fight.
After running a railroad locomotive
for 20 years, Mr.. Nelson thought that
he had terminated his career as an
eagle eye" in 1899 when he retired
to an impulse when he enlisted with
the local recruiting officer for the
regular army. He has left for Fort
George Wright, WASH, where he hopes
to become indicted into the railway
corps with a view of pulling q throttle
on the line which will eventually
reach from France to Berlin.
Mr.. Nelson went to work on the
old Utah and Northern, now the Ore
gon Short Line, in 1884, and was
Hog Head" for years on engine No.
IS running between Lima and Butte,
and Lima and Eagle Rock, now Idaho
Falls.
He served with the Utah and North
ern during its early career, and at
one time was 5snowbound for several
days near Monida. It was his pnvi-
lege to drive the engine which in 1886
and 1887 laid the. steel for the stand
ard gauge, FROM Blackfoot, Ida, to
Horse Prairie creek, now Armstead.
July "a, 1887, the lines were transfer
red from narrow to standard gauge.
In 1894 Mr.. Nelson entered the en-
ploy of the Northern Pacific and drove
an engine from Butte to Missoula un-
til 1899.
Mr.. Nelson is married and has two
daughters, but he has made provision
for their support until he returns. He
was given a parting ovation by the
people Of Dillon when he left that
place.

Bismarck Gas Company
Applies For Higher Rate

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 2s.-The. Bis
marck Gas Co. today advised its pat
ROM of an increase Of SO cents per
thousand feet Of gas for the period
Of the war. This increase has been
necessitated, advises Senator Frank
[Ployhar, president Of the company, by
the abnormal advance in the cost Of
coal and other materials and Of labor.
The increase, states Mr.. Ployhar, will
be in no sense permanent, and will be
employed only SO long as the war cost
emergency exists.
I'VE had hoped" says President
Ployhar, that by increased efficiency
and rigid economy, and by an increase
in volume of business it would not be
necessary to ask our customers for
any assistance, and we have in this
expectation carried the entire burden
during the past year. Conditions have
grown steadily worse, however, until
we have arrived at a point where it
is absolutely necessary to state the
case frankly to our customers and to
appeal to them for fair cooperation"

Wild Geese Stay North,

Bemidji. Mimi, Sept. 2s.-High,

keeping the wild ducks at the feeding
grounds in Canada, and few southern
flights are looked for until after the
Indian summer season has pretty we'll

Reports coming down from the do

and sleek and that the Canucks are

ers nave seen but few ducks despite
the fact that the wild rice crop at
the various northern Minnesota lakes
was better. These Minnesota
rice beds will furnish feeding grounds
for the fowl in the course of their
flight from Canada to the south. Then
local hunters will get all of the
shooting for which they have waited
so long. But this will not come until
the mercury has descended a few pegs
in the tube.
While local hunters have brought
back but few prairie chickens from
the western hunting fields of Minne-
sofa, the birds are said to be in ex-
cellent shape, giving strong promise
that b expected wiping out Of this
species of game will not come true.
Returning hunters who have had
many years experience in the western
game bird fields say that the chickens
are more than holding their own and
they expect that by next season there
will be many big f1ocks.

Jamestown's New Wei.
Gives Abundant Supply

Jamestown, N. D., Sept. 2s.-The
city's new eight hundred gallon per
minute pumping outfit has arrived
and will be installed the coming
week. This gives jamestown a total
water supply of nearly 5000 gallons
per minute and places it on a par
with the best fire risks in the state.
The new pump was purchased last
May, but manufacturing conditions
have prevented the builders furnish
ing until the present time. The new
model will be connected with the new
well and be put into service imme-
diately.
AS soon as this is done, the emer-
gency centrifugal pump will be NOV
ed to the center Of the station where
it will be connected with both the
new we'll and the old Jour giving the
city practically an inexhaustible sup
ply Of water. The plunger pump now
in service will not be used except in
cases where the new one happens to
need minor repairs. Z,

and when the driver first saw him
all efforts to turn the car aside

This Morning.

Washington, Sept. 2s.-Before
dawn today the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign was on.
So eager were some communities to
make strides toward their subscrip-
ton goals that they sent solicitors to
work at the stroke of midnight.
Scores Of towns are trying to give
all expected Of them before nightfaN
and to devote the remaining three
weeks to doubling or trebling their
quotas Of the mighty war loan.
n children are enrolled in an army
OF active campaigners to place a bond
in every home. =
The whole vast machinery got
smoothly into motion. Like the GRIM
mer campaigns across the sea, every
detail had been planned long in ad-
vance. Statesmen began gathering
subscriptions by well-organized meth
DDS. Posters appeared in shop win
dows and told the story Of liberty
bonds on streets and from fence cor
ners. President Wilson'S autograph
ed appeal was published in newspa-
pers throughout the land. In motion
picture theaters films planned by
leading stars told graphically why
Americans should buy bonds, and

drive home the appeal. More than a
score Of special trains filled with wal
relics fresh from Frances battlefelds
started their journeys from town to
town.
Indications are that the American
people now realize more than in any
OF the three previous loan campaigns
the intimate relation between govern
ment bonds and the fighting by Amer
lean soldiers in France, and that
those spared the hardships of army
life must economic to buy bonds.
After the opening enthusiasm of
