HORSE STEALING GROWS
 :@ AS PRICES INCREASE

ZURICH.-Horse-stealing in Vii enna has increased to such an ex- tent that several firms have beer forced to give up business. A good wagon team is now worth from S5,OOO to $6,250. Some firms have lost as many as a dozen horses, as well as wagons, and thefts continue daily in the streets The stolen horses are usually sold to slaughter houses
 A recent order forbids the publi- cation of market prices of horses for slaughter, but the last reports priced them at $1,00O to $1,5OO each.

TRAINING COOKS FOR ARMY JOBS
 MOVES RAPIDLY

| FORT WORTH.-Nine hundred
 skilled cooks, trained for overseas
 duty, have been graduated in classes
 of 300 from the government school
 flo rcooks and bakers, the largest
 school of its kind in the country,
 which is being conducted at Camp
 Bowie here under command of Cap
 tain Fred H. Morrell.
 { Students graduating must reach the following standard: Practical
 work, 50 per cent; recitation and theory, 20 per cent; care of kitchen,
 15 per cent; discipline, 15 per cent. The majority of those graduated have been taken from the course for second cooks, with first cooks next in number and mess sergeants third.
 | The course includes lectures and
 instruction on rations bills of fare,
 component parts, field specifications
 preparation, sanitatoin, tempera- lures, mess management, stock sheets, field cooking, recipes and visits to the packing houses here. An understanding of food values most needed to suit conditions ex- isting in various places is being i drilled into the students.
 Great attention also is given to food conservation. The army must not waste and cooks are taught to i throw all particles of meat and bone into a 20-gallon pot where the mix ture is boield and the fat rendered. The stock is then used for gravies and soups.
 Some companies here require the men to weigh what is left on their plates and the amount is deducted from the next meal, thus adjusting the food needed to their appetites. The sanitation course requires 1 the mess officers to keep kitchen, mess hall, refrigerators, ovens and cooking utensils hygenically clean. This applies to tables and floors. How to set the tables is an import ant part of the study.
 Experiments are conducted to de- wise means of using substitutes for flor, such as oatmeal, cornmeal, and rice flour. Use of syrup instead of sugar wherever possible is encour- aged.
 Food wastage," said Captain Morrell, lis not always the fault fthe soldier at the mess table. The cook is often to blame If he does not cook the food right, it will be dlstasteful to the men and they will refuse to eat all set before them. The we'll cooked meal puts the men in good spirits as well as helping them physically
 A record of food conservation was kept at the detention camp where the recruits are qartered and fed under the direction of Captain Nor rell Of 72,179 pounds of flour allowed the camp in fourteen days, only 36,165 pounds were used and yet every man had all the bread

VIENNA DEATH RATE
 SHOWS BIG INCREASE

ZURICH.-Underfeeding, exhaus- tion, intestinal disorders and tuber. culosis are chiefly responsible for an increase in the Vienna death rate of 28 to 29 per cent, accord ing to the municipal authorities.
 Other interesting figures, obtained from parochial registers, show a great decrease in the number of births and marriages since peace years. Births in the average parish have fallen off one-half and mar riages by a third to half.

CONTRASTS ARE STARTLING.

What an amazing difference there iS
between the way the United States
went to war with Spain in 1893 and the
way in which 1t is going to war for
democracy in 1917 Most Of even the
present generation can recall the man
ner In which the unprepnred volun-
teers and Gunrdsmen were huddlcd
into line and hustled off toward the
southwestern border, says st. Paul Pho
neer Press. Fortunately most of them
got no farther than the concentration
camp, where disease and improper food
took a toll greater than that of war.
Contrast this with the intensive prep
aratiOn now being made, the palnstak-
Ing care to fit each man for his special
service, the precautions preceding the
sending of troops into actunl war. III
1893 there was a national thrill when
congress promptly voted an approprin-
ton of $50,0O0,0O0 for the national de.
Tense. In 1917 The first war budget Is
$4,000, 100000 and the government
calmly prepares to spend three times
as much in the first year.

SALVATION ARMY
IS AFTER FUNDS
FOR WAR WORK

Ensign w. Kerr, financial rep
resentative for the Salvation
Army for Alaska arrived in Wran-
CELL yesterday. He has been on
trip as far northward as Attn
and Carcross collecting for local
and war work. The Ensign stated
that instead of having a harvest
Thanksgiving effort and war
work drive at different times the
two are being combined into one
effort. The drive in Wrangell
will take place Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
1--WE have SO ambulance cars
on the war front, said Mr.. Kerr.
Three hundred 'huts' where re-
freshments and other necessary
equipment are provided for the
comfort of the soldiers.
The Salvation Army has
100, 900 men engaged in war work
of one sort or another, and this
does not include a single chaplain
or person engaged in religious
work. These people are doing
just what Their hands find to do.
This is the first year the Sal
walton Army has called on the
public for funds to aid it in war
work. Last spring a call was
sent out by Miss Evangeline
Booth, head of the American
branch for one million dollars.
She quickly got more than two
million. Then she left for France
for the purpose of personally
overseeing the work done there
by the American branch of the
Salvation Army.
THE Salvation Army felt that
Alaska should help in this great
work." said Ensign Kerr, and
sent me out to see what could
do. The people of other towns
in the North have come to the
front nicely, and l am here to
receive what aid the people of
Wrangell see fit to give"
