WHALE ON TOAST
burlington Butchers Provide Way to
heat the beef Trust

burlington Butchers Provide a Way to
Heat the beef Trust
From being a whale to being served
on toast is an awful big leap. but the
final scene of the transformation is
being enacted in Burlington now and
with the appearance Of whale meat In
the meat markets Of the city, the demand
for the sea monster has grown remark
ably. Practically all of the larger
stores have whale on the list and they
are selling 1t In large quantities. Some
tried out small quantities few, days
ago by way OF experiment and Judging
from the repeat orders. the article Of
diet is on the bill to stay.
The whale meat resembles beef moro
than anything else and has no Ash
flavor, for whale is not flsh but man.
NAL. The meat is. a triffe lighter red
than beef. and 1t is cooked in about the
same manner as beef. The meat sells
and Is an economical food. for it is all
meat. Not much is lost in the cooking.
One way to cook the meat is to broil
1t or fry as steak. The procedure is
exactly the same except that the meat
should be dipped for a minute In hot
water containing one teaspOonful OF
soda to quart of water. For stew the
meat is cut into cubes an inch square and
after being immersed in the soda and
water becomes stew after the manner
of beef 1t should be allowed to sim
mer gently three and a half hours and
before putting in the stew should be
fried brown.
A pot roast should be allowed to soak
In soda and water five minutes. Braised
whale roast. curried whale on toast and
whale croquettes. are made after the
manner of treating beef. always soak
ing the meat first in water and soda.
The meat is said to be highly nutri-
tive and has been popular for several
years In some localities. but has been
little known to the world at large.
With beef steak GO and 65 cents a pound
In Burlington and good Americans asked
to limit themselves to one and q quarter
pounds of beef week for the next three
months. whale steak may be said to APP
pear at the psychological moment.

NEGROES IN THE WAR.

Sometime ago we had something
to say with regard to the willingness
with which the negroes were re-
spending to the calls of the coun-
try, and especially their attitude to-
wards service in the army. 1t will
not be amiss to say again that our
observation leads us to say that the
negro in Abbeville County is doing
his full duty towards the country in
it's time of peril.
We publish today a list of the
subscribers to the Red Cross fund
from Shady Grove Colored Metho-
dist Church. These subscriptions
were made last Sabbath at one of
the regular preaching services Of
the church. Three negro farmers
subscribed twenty-five dollars each,
two fifteen dollars each, o than
a dozen ten dollars each, and 9TH
ers lesser amounts.
If every community in Abbeviue
County does as we'll as the members
of this negro church have done, the
second drive in Abbeville County
for the army's angel of mercy will
have been a success.
We should not allow ourselves to
be ou%tstripped in patriotism and
good works by the men and women
of an inferior race. We may show
that we r the leaders in thought
patriotism and loyalty by perform
ance and not by words.e

TALKING WITH HIS MOUTH.

Houshold-and- Kitchen-Furniture-
Kerr appeared at a meeting of the
trustees of the public schools on
last Friday evening, and in order
to belittle the offer sometime ago
made by the editor of The Press and
Banner, looking to more ample sup
port for the schools, which offer he
denominated "demagogical bosh,"
and at the same time to make a
display of his riches (by word of
mouth) offered a motion, which he
said he wished copied in The Press
and Banner and Medium (other pa
pers please, copy that each trustee
contribute five hundred dollars per
annum to the support of the schools.
He finally stated that he would be
one of five to give this amount, but
when four other members proposed
to enter into a written agreement
with him to do so, he insisted that
no signing was necessary, that the
"other papers please copy" clause
was the main part of his offer.

1t begins to look now, notwith-
standing the war, that there will be
enough candidates to fill all the Of
fees and that some will be left. AS
a candidate by running for office
implicitly announces that he has no
business which demands his atten-
ton at home, we think that it
would be we'll for congress to pro-
vide that all candidates when de-
feated, should Immediately be called
into the service of the country. Nc
man who is not needed at home
should be deprived of the privilege
of serving his country on &C

Whereas, The Congress of the

incumbent in a time of war humbly
and devoutly to acknowledge our
dependence on Almighty God and to
implore His aid and protection, the
President of the United States be,
and he is hereby, respectfully re-
ouested to commend a day of pub

to be observed by the people of the

nifty and the offering of fervent sup
plications to Almighty God for the
safety and welfare of our cause,
His blessings on our arms, and a
speedy restoration of an honorable
and lasting peace to the nations OF

And Whereas, 1t has always been
the r~everent habit of the people of
the United States to turn in humble
appeal to Almighty God for His
guidance in the affairs of their COM

Now, therefore, I, Woodrow

claim Thursday, the thirtieth OF

American Forces possible at an ear
ly date. The American Red Cross
has also provided for US all of the
splints called for by this manual. In
doing this the American Red Gross
has saved the medical department
from the great confusion which ex-
listed in the hospitals of u Allies
by the multiplication Of appliances
for the treatment of fractures.
"The American Red Cross at an
early date took steps to provide for
the medical department Of the Am
erican E'xpeditionary Forces a plant
for the manufacture of oxygen. The
supplying of this gas will be of in
timable value in our hospitals for
purposes of anesthesia and in the
treatment of many of our distress
ing cases. The use of nitrous oxide
gas for anesthesia purposes at u
evacuation hospitals and general
hospitals will PROFESSIONALLY result
in a great saving Of life and pre-
vent untold suffering. In this way
the American Red ross has enabled
the medical department of our fore
es to begin work with life saving de-
vices which are not supplied : in
abundance to the hospitals of our
Allies.
s"The American Red Cross has
provided and is administering con-
valescent homes for the officers and
soldiers of the American forces who
are nearly recovered from disabling
diseases where they can be sent and
be surrounded by very necessary com
fort during their convalescense.
"The American Red Cross has
undertaken the maintenance and su-
pervisory control of several of u
important hospitals.
"!The American Red Cross has
provided homes for the members OF
the army nurse corps who are re-
covering from illness and has also
provided places for. the ~recuperation
of those nurses who are. below par
physically due to long and continu-
ed work in our hospitals.
"The American Red. Cross has
found a great amount. Of transpor-
tation for the medical department of
the army which could not have been
obtained otherwise. By this act it
has made possible certain activities
among the professional divisions of
great Importance to the sick and
wounded. The good accomplished
by the American Red Cross men,
toned above is but a small item
compared with the great work done
by it during the first year. The
problems which must be met. by the
medical department in the coming
months are enormous. The Ameri-
