jungle Can Furnish Food.

While the new food campaign was
being talked about at Seattle, Ran
dolph L. Summerf1eld Of Singapore,
who has lived forty years in the Malay
States, arrived on a government mis-
sion. He is a civil engineer. "The
worlds livestock market has been dec
mated" said Mr.. Summerfield, "but if
worst comes to worst and there's a
real meat famine, the jungles of the
Malay States can supply vast quanti-
ties Of meats and fats. Our forests
are full of monkeys of all kinds. Our

huge anaconda snake is numerous and
prolific. Monkey meat, cooked French
or Spanish style, billed on the menu
as veal, would make an epicure yearn

'crocO's' tail are extraordinarily good,
and the boa constructor is a culinary

FIsH-SKIN SHOES CoMING7

When things come to the worst
every day is going to be like Friday
the atmosphere will be crowded with
the aroma Of fish. There is a scarcity Of
leather, as everybody knows, and, that
being so, tanners are making a dill
gent search for other substitutes, and
new sources of supply. Experts de-
clare that the skins of aquatic crea-
lures offer a practically undeveloped
resource, and it is not unlikely that be-
fore long we shall be covering our eX-
tremities with the skins of the man.
eating shark and the sacred Goldfish.
The reason such skins have not here
tofore been utilized for leather Is not
because they are not perfectly well
adapted for such use, but only because
the skins of land animals have been
so plentiful. Disciples Of Izaak Wal
ton dispute the experts about the cur
ing of fishslzins. They say sOnce a fish
always a fish. If 1t comes to pass that
we adopt fish-skin shoes these fish

your stocking feet. Otherwise there

CAUSE AND CURE OF CRAMPS
Too High Blood Pressure Frequently
Brings Them On-Removed by
Vigorous Rubbing.

In this article we shall discuss only
the local muscular spasms that affect
most commonly the calves of the legs,
but that sometimes occur in the thighs,
the arms or the wall of the abdomen.
Internal cramps, or collie, swimmers
cramp and writer's cramp are affec-
tions of an entirely different nature.
A cramp, in this restricted sense, is
a sudden, painful and very strong con-
traction Of a small part of muscle;
it does not usually cause any move
ment in the affected limb, for to do
that a contraction of nearly the entire
muscle is necessary, and then we have
what is called a spasm, or a convul-
sion.
The contraction is involuntary, al
though persons who are subject to
cramps sometimes bring them on by
voluntary movement, such as stretch
ing. The early-mOrning cramp is Of
ten brought on by the stretching to
which one is prone on awaking. Very
commonly the cramp comes on during
sleep, and the intense pain awakens
the sufferer with start. The affected
part of the muscle forms a hard knot,
and if q large part of the muscle is
involved the limb may be drawn up.
Children and the aged suffer more
often with cramps than do persons in
middle life. In children the cause is
usually violent exercise, such as run
ming and jumping, but in the elderly
q tendency to cramps is often caused
by incipient hardening of the arteries.
When the blood pressure is high,
cramps often occur, but they cease to
trouble If the pressure is reduced.
Persons who are rheumatic and gouty
are especially liable to be attacked by
cramps-very likely because hardening
Of the arteries accompanies their con-
stitutional disposition.
The treatment of a single cramp Of
the calf is very simple: stand on tip
toe in such way as to stretch the
calf muscle and at the same time rub
the place where the contraction has
occurred. That will put an end to
the attack promptly. If the attacks
recur frequently, there is probably
some constitutional fault that needs
correction, and the sufferer should con-
suit his physician.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

FIRST DUTY TO WIN WAR

There is no issue but the war. The one du-
ty of every American is to win the war. Po-
litcal parties have but one duty which is to
win the war. This is not the Presidents
war, it is not Congress- was: but it is war
waged by the people of the United States for
the welfare and safety of America and the
civilized world. We as nation are pledged
to put the war through to the hilt without
finching until we win the peace OF over
whelming victory. In the words of President
Wilson, we must use force, force to the ut
most, force without stint or limit, the righte-
Gus and triumphant force which shall make
right the law of the world and cast every sci /.
fish dominion down in the world. This is our
battle cry" l stand by the President, and
support him in his purpose to win the war at
all costs

SUPPORT OUR MEN IN ARMS


The patriotic duty of every man and wo-
man to our country and it's allies demands an
uninterrupted operation of our industries dur
ing the war, and to this end capital and labor
must combine to serve the necessity which
now exists, and which will exist throughout
the war, for maximum industry that we as a
nation may give our fullest support to our
men in arms on land and sea. If differences
arise between employer and employe, causing
the weakening of our industrial army in this
dependent upon the might of our united la
Dor at home than upon the valor of our sons
on the seas and battlefields, the logical meth
cd of adjustment of these differences is that
of arbitration. The Federal government has
provided the means for carrying out arbitra-
tion in this state, and this method, therefore,
should have our fullest support and honest CO.
operation.

ENEMIES AT HOME

In the same spirit of loyalty l detest the l.
w. w. and their doctrine as well as all others
who ridicuIe patriotism and openly or covertly
defy the National Government and lend them
selves to the spreading of propaganda Of ene-
my countries. They are no less enemies of
the American people than the Germans in the
trenches and every loyal Arizonian, regardless
of political affiliation is IN honor and loyalty
bound to assist in stamping them out forever.
There must be no catering to traitors. We
should have on our statute books stringent
laws for the punishment as felons of all pur-
veyors of enemy propaganda and advocates
of sabotage on our farms and ranges in our
mines. upon our railroads, or in any of our in
dustries, whether through intimidation by
word of mouth or actual deed of violence or
through sympathy. At time when this coun-
try needs the labor of every citizen, we should
have upon our statute books stringent law
requiring every able bodied man to be at work
at some useful calling.

Three Year OldCar

Canadian customs authorities

1860 miles of service-the unusual
compliment of an appraisal at the

They proposed to enter il i'm Can

20 percent OF depreciation just as
though it had undergone only a few
months of service.
The number of the car which is
a Dodge brothers, is 653, indicating
that it was built late in 1914, less
than a month after Dodge brothers
began manufacturing motor cars.
It's owner at Sault ste. Marie. Mich.

there. According to customs rul-
ings. depreciation would have been

year-Cld car. However. after the
officials had made an inspection Of
bearings, the body finish and gen
eral appearances they ruled that il
was practically a new car. and
based its entrance valuation on the
present retail price. This. it is in
teresting 10 note, is considerably
higher than the price which pre-
vailed when Dodge brothers car No.
