50 DEATHS IN DAY
FROM INFLUENZA
Increased Number of Fatal
Examinations, While New
Cases Fall Off.
NO CURB YET IN SCOURGE

Influenza fatalities in the District
continued to increase today, eighty
| three deaths having been reported for
the twenty-four hours ending at noon,
as compared with seventy-eight deaths
reported for the preceding correspond
ing period.
While deaths increased, new cases
showed a decrease of 4s1. There were
s1S new cases reported up to noon, as
compared with 1910 cases reported at
the same hour yesterday.
Health officials look to the death re-
port rather than the record of new
cases as furnishing the most reliable
index of the progress of the epidemic.
Since the epidemic began, up to to-
day at noon, the health department
announces, there have been reported
14.730 cases of influenza in Washing
ton.
DR.. Fowler says, however, that those
figures do not represent all the cases.
1t is considered safe to assume that

both of a mild or severe type, ana
that it would be conservative to est1-
mate that there have been, with cases
now prevailing, as many as 25,ooo
cases in all.
Commissioner Brownlow today made
this statement regarding the situation:
1.-The epidemic situation is most seri-
Gus. Every citizen should do everything
in his power to cooperate with the
health authorities to prevent further
spread of the disease. No one should
become panicky, but, on the other hand.
no one should fail to realize the actuel
danger.
THE wearing of gauze masks by
every one coming in contact with many
people is earnestly advised by the
public health service. 1 believe the
general compliance with this advice
will materially help in checking the
spread of the epidemic.
1T is important to avoid crowds, to
keep cool when walking, to keep warm
when not exercising, to maintain a high
standard of personal hygiene, and to
cover every cough or SneeZe.
Volunteer nurses, nurses aids,
cooks and general helpers are urgent
ly needed. Every we'll person who can
help is urged to report at once to the
recruiting headquarters in the Wyatt
building, at 18th and F streets. Volun-
teer today. You may save a life by
SO doing. You certainly will prevent
| suffering and relieve distress"

employes be brought to Washington
by their departments until further
notice. It is expected that other gov
eminent departments will take SIM

One Man Delegated to Rename
Over 5000 Sioux Indians

To make the Sioux Indians Inherit
ance of land more simple and secure,
the United States government commits
stoned DR.. Charles A. Eastman to re-
name more than $1,000 with their fam
lily names. The task was hard one,
says the. San Francisco Argonaut.
Where possible Doctor Eastman kept
the original Sioux name Of some men,
ber of a family, as in bestowing the
name "Matoska" meaning 'White
Bear" on the family of that chief.
The hardest task was in finding new
names for the absurdities Of Indian no.
menclature. "Bobtailed Coyote" was
q young Indian who has come to pre-
fer himself as "Robert T. Wolf"
After a long struggle with "Rotten
Pumpkin" Doctor Eastman at last re-
corded the owner Of the name on the
tribal records under the noncommittal
title Of Robert Pumpkin"

More That 100000 Pairs
of Shoes Needed for Army
Many for Pershing Warriors

Although the war department now
has on hand and contracted for total
Of 15,437 900 pairs of shoes, Secretary
Baker announces that more than ,OOO,-
600 pairs Of shoes will have to be OBJ
tanned for the army this year. This
is made necessary by the building up
Of adequate stocks Of reserves, both in
France and in this country.
General Pershing, having in mind
the length Of time shoes are expected
to last the men in France, has re-
quested shipments Of 1880 pairs of
shoes for each $4,000 men monthly, or
approximately nine pairs of shoes for
each man annually. This quantity is
in excess of actual consumption, and
when reserve supply Is built up the
quantities will be reduced.
For troops in this country after the
first issue Of 100 per cent, II per cent
month is required for upkeep, and Y
per cent as reserve stock. At the
embarkation concentration camps $50
per cent Is the ratio for equipping n
given number of men with 325 per cent
as the ration for reserve stock. In
France the upkeep is placed at rs per
cent for given number Of troops, with
IS per cent for the reserve supply.

Bones and Meat for CANNES

Bones at 40 cents each and chopped
meat at 80 cents a portion for aristo-
cratic dogs have been cut from the
kennel menu at the Hotel Majestic,
notes the New York American. The
Hooverization Of this hostelry is now
complete, according to the manage
ment.
Recently there were many dogs In
town seeking the blue ribbons at the
Garden show. Copeland Townsend,
manager, served notice that eatables
would not be supplied for dog con-
sumption at his hostelry.
"Many sweets and meats and milk
are purchased for blooded dogs" he
said, IN explanation. '.This food is
needed here and by the allies. Even
the bones that are given to dogs are
in demand.
81 understand q conservation dog bis
cult is being manufactured. If this is
so, the problem will be solved, but un-
less it is, some other means must be
found to supply pets with food"
Six Of the dogs at the Majestic were
Poms. They are owned by Miss Es-
telle Kelcey Of San Francisco, who is
said to have purchased them from a
destitute Belgian prince in Paris.

American Mills Are Urged
to Manufacture Peanut Oil;
Good Market for By-Products

It is possible with the use of i'm
proved machinery for cleaning, she'll
ing and pressing peanuts, to make a
high grade of oil in American mills
which is well suited for use in cook
ing, according to the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Before the
war cut off practically all imports of
French and Dutch peanut oils, the
United States was importing nearly
100000 gallons a year at an average
price for all grades, including soap
stock, Of more than half that of
edible olive oil. Specialists Of the de-
partment state that American oil mills
should prepare I'd make this oil at
home both to utilize the large peanut
crop and to increase their profits.
Peanut Oil mills, the specialists say.
should be located where the farmers
can profitably grow the Spanish type
Of peanuts, which are high in oil con-
tent and have less shell than the larger
Virginia varieties. The mills should
be equipped with peanut cleaners, and
all the nuts, after going over screens
to remove the stocks, stones and other
trash, should be thoroughly secured.
For the by-products obtained in the
manufacture Of peanut oil there is a
growing market especially for the
press cake, which stockmen now real
ize is very high-grade cattle feed.
There Is also a demand for flour made
from hull-less peanut cake for human
food, and there is no reason why it
should not become a popular article
in human sustenance, the specialists
say.
With the manufacture Of high-grade
peanut oil for cooking and shortening,
the manufacture Of hull-less peanut
cake for human food and peanut-hull
cake for stock feed, the millers can
utilize all Of the peanut crop to best
advantage.

Homemade Solution Makes
Pasteurized Cream Whip.

People who use pasteurized cream
often have trouble in getting their
cream to whip. This is due to the
substance called viscogen, being de-
stroyed by heating. This trouble can
easily be remedied by adding a small
amount Of homemade viscogen, which
can be prepared Rs follows:
sugar " five parts water.
Second, dissolve one part Of quick
lime In three parts water.
Mix the two solutions and let stand
a few hours. Siphon of, or pour off,
the clear liquid, and what is left Is
an excellent substitute for viscogen,
which with proper care, will keep
for long time. Use abou, tea

''Lord Of the Sun and Moon,
Great Magician and Great
Thief"-A M0narCh's Title

The youthful shah Of Persia has an
amazing array Of titles, ranging from
shah-in-shah, (king of kings) to such
poetical attributes as "The Rose of De-
light" "The Branch Of Honor" and
''The Mirror of Virtue" while his ma
jesty of Arracan used to be proclaimed
as Emperor of Arracan, possessor Of
the white elephant and the two ear
rings, and in virtue Of this possession
legitimate heir Of Pegu and Brahma!
Lord of the twelve kings who place
their heads under his feet"
Somewhere in the wilds Of Afghanis
tan there is an Ameer who boasts of as
many high dignities as there are days
in the year, among them being:
"The sovereign of the universe, whom
God created to be as accomplished as
the moon at her plenitude; whose eye
glitters like the northern star; king
as spiritual as ball is round, whO,'
when he rises, shades all of his people,
and from under whose feet sweet
Odor is waited" But perhaps the most
remarkable title any monarch was ever
proud to own was borne by the king Of
Monomotapa, whose praises were sung
by his court poets and musicians as
"Lord of the Sun and Moon, Great Ma
gician and Great Thief" ~
Another striking example Of royal
dignity Is that Of the former emperor
Of China, whose recent coup d'etat
ended in such failure. He was hailed
by his subjects as '"The protector of
religion, whose fame is Infinite and of
SURPRISING excellence exceeding the
moon, the unexpanded jessamine buds
and the stars, whose feet are as fra
grant to the noses of other kings as
flowers to bees, most noble patron and

which are so essential for good body

this growth stimulant. A growing child

At no hour of the day or night is it
now possible to walk along the main
streets of Cardiff without meeting
women. war workers. Even in the
small hours Of the morning they can
be seen trudging through driving snow
or sleet or cropping their way in the

Mail.
Some Of them do not get home un-
til well after midnight. Others, such
as tram conductors and drivers, set out
for their days work soon after four

Postoffice employees finishing work
after midnight are taken home In a
