KEEPING OUTPUT UP
TO STANDARD PURITY

Travelling inspectors of the Federal
Fuel Administration are going and
coming through the entire anthracite
region keeping close watch over the
preparation Of coal This method is
making the company inspectors at
every colliery very careful. as they are
held 10 strict account by the COM
panies employing them and should a
government inspector Unexpectedly
drop in and condemn any carload of
coal which has been passed by the
company inspector, he would have TO
explain his action.
AS matter of fact the producing
companies are determined 10 keep the
preparation OF anthracite up 10 the
established standards and are doing
so. They are quite content to have
the double check OF the Federal in
spectors, whose decisions all about
the breakers, from superintendent
down TO breaker boys, know TO be
final. No one cares 10 be responsible
for rejected coal and there is very
little of it.
Baird Halberstadt, fuel administra-
tor for Schuylkill County, Pa, has
closed some river dredgings and wash
cries concerns which, after warnings.
persisted in shipping anthracite
slush of very inferior quality. This
action has caused some confusion in
the public mind owing to the impress
sion that the concerns condemned
were recovering coal from culm banks
by the washery process. They were
not in such operations, which, as be-
ing conducted throughout the anthra-
cite regions by the big companies, is
not only yielding coal exactly as good
for fuel purposes as that taken fresh
from the mines, but is making a way
to supply the urgent demands which
otherwise could not be met with the
labor force greatly reduced as ii has
been since the beginning of the war.

CHICKEN FEET
MAKE GOOD SOUP

Some time ago the Butchers Advo-
cate directed the attention of the
trade to the food value of chicken feet.
A recent clipping from an Illinois pa
per is of interest in this connection:
THAT chicken feet make wonderful
soup is very well known to the chefs
serving our large hotels, exclusive
clubs, ETC., but the average town and
city housewife is blissfully ignorant
OF the fact
Here is something which every
dealer-whether in a large market or
in small town-can take up in an
educational way by passing the word
out among his customers and asking
them to tell others not to throw away
chicken feet, but to clean them prop
erly and make soup. Almost any
woman who has the suggestion ought
to know how to proceed; but if not,
she may find out by referring to a
cook book.
"A former student at an eastern
cultural college tells of an episode
concerning chicken feet a few years
ago.
1T seems that French professor
at nearby university who was get
ting fresh fowls from the school farm
asked this student what became of the
feet of the chickens being served at
the professors home.
Why, we throw them away, pro-
fessor.' replied the astonished young
poulterer.
Now, then, wish you to save all
the feet for me in the future, said the
professor.
"Whereupon the student took a
separate package of feet with the next
fowl, and the professor, upon looking
over the collection, kept the feet and
let the student take the fowl to some
one else That opened a new source
of revenue for the young man-mar-
keting for actual money what would
otherwise be wasted"

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and for years it was
supposed to be incurable. Doctors pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat

tarrh is local disease, greatly in
fiuenced by constitutional conditions
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Medicine,

LEARNING WAR

IL we believed all the nice things our
allies are saying about us nowadays,
we should become dreadfully conceit-
ed; and that would spoil everything.
1t might be good thing for American
newspapers to stop printing European
compliments about our army and navy.
lest we fall again into the old sin of
boastful pride. Here, however, is a
French tribute so very pleasing that
we cannot forbear repeating it,
They go to bed green recruits and
wake up professionals" says the
Frenchman quoted. They are so re-
ceptive and impressionable, they learn
war by dreaming of ii. The Americans
are not only open to teaching. but they
have nothing to unlearn. We Eu-
ropeans are slaves to habit Every
young American brings mind that is
like clean slate. and you can write
what you will upon it,"
We like to believe that-not that the
American soldier is putty to the touch
of war, but that he is so alert, teach
able and ambitious to learn the great
game that TO his natural aggressive
ness and courage he adds the neces-
sary technique of war with unparallel-
ed rapidity. 1t must be so, judging
from the present shortness of our
army training period. and the quick
ness with which the recruits are
thrown into battle when they reach
the other side.
We are glad of it because it adds to
our own wholesome respect for our
country and race, and still more glad
because it insures the earlier finish of
the war.

This is not suggestion to the pub
lie 10 unload a lot of old textbooks

II does. however. add case to the
numerous instances showing the wide
range OF subjects in which our boys
are interested And that brings US
to the fact that more books are con-
stantly needed 10 supply the reading
matter those interests demand
The war Libraries are still asking
for contributions of good books or
money with which TO buy them. Peo-
pie who sent books in reply to the
first requests should be about ready
now 10 send some more. Those few
who did not do anything about the
matter during the first book drive
have another chance TO redeem them
selves today.

THIS YEARS COUNTY FAIR

In the interest of economy and eff
ficiency as well as of giving every
body a good time the Children's Blu
reau of the U. S. Department of La
Dor is urging that the local child well
fare committees secure the co-opera-
ton of the county fairs, State fairs,
and grange meetings in staging the
patriotic play celebrations with which
the recreation drive is to include.
At the county fair the audience is
already gathered. and it will be an
audience greatly interested in attrac-
tions such as a play day could offer.
For years county fairs have been in
the habit of having some sort of child
welfare exhibit Earlier there were
baby contests with prizes for the win
ming mothers and children. 1t is ex-
pected that play day will bring an
even larger audience to the fair if the
plans are carried out SO as to have
an exhibit which is indicative of all
that is being done in the neighborhood
to make children well and happy, and
keep them out of mischief War food
conservation and canning, garden
produce raised by the School Garden
Army, Red Cross articles-all can be
displayed. Children are being urged
by mothers who are interested in the
progress of the children's year to plan
exhibits illustrating interesting his
torical facts about places in the neigh
borhood, and to collect specimens of
trees, shrubs and plants that grow
near their homes. Such collections
can be displayed and judged in con-
nection with the fair as part of the
exhibit.
Many places are making prepara-
tions to give the patriotic pageant
which was especially written to give
every one in the community who has
taken any part in making the summer
happier and more wholesome

II Lafayette were here today
century ago il might perhaps have
been foretold that we should be cele-
brating Lafayette Day in America to-
day. France was our first friend. our
loyalty today 10 her is the gallantest.
the most romantic of our national
emotions The love of liberty brought
France and America together then
when the young Lafayette crossed the
seas to bring US aid. And 1t is the
love of liberty which binds US now.
But the philosophic observer Of a
century ago could not perhaps have
foreseen that now under the banners
of liberty our ancient enemy Britain
would be fighting by our side. In
deed it may even fairly be said that
the help which the King of France
gave us then was at least a little
caused by his lack of liking for Eng
land. But time has dimmed every
thing in the story, and let 1t stand now
merely as one brave nation aiding
another, in Liberty's name. Time, in
Liberty's name, has brought about the
wonder of Britain. Loyalty shoulder
TO shoulder with her ancient enemy
and her late revolted colonies.
The miracle is Liberty's. A Fourth
of July celebrated through the length
and breadth of Britain would have
been incomprehensible century ago,
and Lafayette Day when national in
terests are generously pooled as to-
day in the great cause of democracy,
and the futures great perpetual peace
would have seemed too much to hope
for If Lafayette were alive today
what an ally he would make. How
proud we should be of him. And how
glad he would be that the world had
moved. and that now more than half
of it could forget old quarrels and
band together to fight tyranny! And
yet is each poilu in the fighting line
of France not another, perhaps a
greater Lafayette? And as we cele-
brate him of so long ago, shall we not
be celebrating every humblest one of
them of today? Thank God, we still
have friends in France who will help
us save the world and liberty.

The reason for his interest was the
fact that the book was amply illus
trated with woodcuts of classical sub

STANDARDIZED SHOES

The principle Of Standardization, APP
piled effectively to so many phases of
war work, is now to be applied to
some of the necessaries of life.
Chairman Baruch, of the War In
dustries Board, announces that shoes
are to be standardized, by joint agree
ment of the board and the manu-
facturers. Steps have already been
taken to eliminate unnecessary styles
and it is easy TO think of a great
many styles that readily fall into that
class, particularly in woman's foot
wear The plan now is to go further,
and produce a Liberty Shoe" that
will be made in enormous quantities
and marketed at fair, fixed price.
Just what this new style will be is
not yet revealed. but presumably it
will have some of the admirable sim
plicity. comfort and durability of the
army shoes.
After solving this problem. the
board might go further and tackle
some of the other essentials of civilian
apparel. Why not standardized hats
and suits at standardized prices?
Surely it is sensible and permissible.

women at home after the same effici-
ent and economical plan used for
clothing the soldiers. The principle
applied so effectively in war indus
tries would surely work just as well
in domestic industries, operating at
the same time to conserve labor and
raw materials and hold down the cost
of living.
