An old football player throwing

British trench where the she'll fell.

patch, was one Of the tragic incidents
Of unheralded heroism related by
George Sherwood Eddy, fresh from
the front in France, in a speech in
which he pictured with vivid detail
the physical and moral dangers and
miseries confronting the American
troops abroad and pleaded with the
business men to give all their profits
for a year to helping the Y. II. G. A.
and other organizations in combat
ing these dangers.

HOME PRESERVING OF EGGS.

Home preserving Of eggs may be
practiccd at the season of greatest
production with considerable profit,
according to the New York State Col
lege Of Agriculture, which has issued
circular recommending the water
glass (sodium silicate) method. 1t
recommends this method for only abb
solutely fresh eggs, and preferably
infertile eggs. Directions follow:
Mix nine parts of boiled water with
one part waterglass, which can be OBJ
tanned at any drug store. Place the
clean, fresh eggs in a jar, preferably
an earthen jar, and after the solution
has cooled, pour it over them so that
the top eggs are an inch or two be-
meath the surface Then the jar
should be put in a cool place and
should not be disturbed in any way.

glad. They also know that the boys
over there have one more good man
assigned to look after their comfort
and security. One who will go to
any lengths to do his duty to the last
ing benefit of his country and his
countrymen.
A farewell meeting for Mr.. Ditch
was held this morning in the K. Of C.
Hall. Grand Knight A. L. Boudreaux
presided. It was attended by brother
members Of the order and many other
friends. Short talks were made by
C. E. Wise, Mayor M. D Shannon and
Postmaster J. P. Hebert. The "Star-
Spangled Banner" and the "Marseil-
laise" were played on the violin by
Mrs. R. T. Morton. At the close of
the program light refreshments were
served and every one present per-
sonally shook hands with Mr.. Ditch
and wished him god-speed and good
luck.
This little gathering will long be
remembered by those who were en-
abled to attend. All of the talks were
informal and came straight from the
heart Of the speakers, touching the
audience as well as Mr.. Ditch. All
testified to the sterling qualities of
the man who had been chosen for
this important work at sthe front.
The whole town would miss him and
yet they felt they shared part of
the honor which had been conferred
upon him and were proud Of the wise
selection that had been made.
Mr.. Ditch with difficulty replied to
the expressions Of affection rendered
him-emotions overpowered his at
tempts at speech. But every one un-
derstood and knew just what he
would like to have said if he had been
able. Before the order of the meet
ing broke up it was moved by Mr..
Hebert and speedily carried out, that
three cheers be given the departing
brother. The crowd went Mr.. He
bert's suggestion one better and gave
six. The hall was not vacated until
all had shook the hand of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ditch and spoke words that will
form a memory for Mr..
Ditch while he is way "over there"
and will as ever-ready comforter
serve in time of need.

Must | Have Ny Baby
Weighed

Some people may be surprised that
five million and more babies have
been entered in the weighing and
measuring test without any one TAX
ing mother by the hand and saying
firmly, "You must. Uncle Sam says
So"
The Children's Bureau of the U. s.
Department of Labor was surprised
too, tina tso many parents wanted to
have their babies weighed and meas
ured. The response to the test en-
tirely outran its highest estimates.
But it was not because any one shook
a finger at the millions Of children in
the United States, and said "You've
got to let US know how much you
weigh, and how tall your are"
The Children's Bureau believes
that parents always want to do the
thing that will enable them to be
wiser parents; that they always want
to do the thing that will help their
children to be better and stronger.
The mothers and fathers of the
country have responded with very
definite decision to the Children's
Year appeal to work now in war time
for healthier Childhood, because
"the health of the child is the power
of the nation" The Children's Bureau
urges that each community see to it
that the parents shall not have had
their children weighed and measured
in vain, but that they organize such
permanent work for the protection Of
children as will not only save the
lives of the hundred thousand chill
dren to be saved during Children's
Year, but will make their lives worth
living, because the community sees
that they have . fair chance Of health,
education and happiness.

The following original acrostic poem

Alas, must it ever be so?

Blessings of those / adored,
Eternal rest and heaven is now my

Right is right; since God is God,
To Him l look for my just reward.

Secretary Of War Baker and Surgeon
General Gorgas Of the United States Army
paid an unexpected visit to the camp Sum
day and made rigid inspection Of the
base hospital, concerning which there has
been a great deal Of criticism. Both men,
after the visit, expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the conditions ut the
cantonment hospital
It was shortly after 10 o'clock that Sec
rotary Baker and Gen. Gorgas drove up to
the headquarters Of Gen. Nicholson in an
automobile. After q short conference the
three officials proceeded to the base hos
pital Seventy buildings were inspected
thoroughly. Two hours and half were
required to go through the hospital.
In the course of the inspectio. Secretary
Baker and Gen; Gorgas chatted with any
number of soldiers with regard to condi-
tlons. Nearly all Of the boys replied that
they were highly satisfied with the treat
ment at the hospital.
The officials returned to Washington
shortly after noon.

TRAINING OF OFFICERS
REGARDED AS SUCCESS
Course of Instruction at Camp Meade
to Be Extended Until
April 80.

The officers training course is going
forward in a way that meets with the
approval of those in command, but II
has been decided to extend the course
from April S to April 20. 1t is the de-
sire of the War Department that the
new officers put in a period of week
or more at intensive paper work before
being commissioned, SO that records will
be handled more carefully than in the
past.
No. one is disposed to vouch for any
uncharitable criticism of the civilians
who have been commissioned as officers
from the training camps. but it is rec
ognized that there is greater need for
instruction as. to the proper handling
of official papers.
1t has been found that papers urgent
ly necessary in organizing an army
when improperly made out cause de-
laws and .hardships that can be avoided
by greater efficiency in this line. Lieut..
Jacques Raffray has been definitely as
signed as the adviser of the instructors
of the school for officers.
