of the worlds leading dyspeptics that
although frankfurters have long been
regarded as enemies within after
mealtime, suspicion has been direct
ed from them by the serving of Ham
burg or Salisbury steaks at the lower
grade restaurants. 1t was learned
that so dire had the reputation of
Hamburg steaks become just before
the war that there was a standing
order in these restaurants that when
a customer ordered one none of the
kitchen help was in any circum-
stances to start weeping up in the
kitchen. Hamburg steak lovers had
become so sensitive that the slightest
thing made them suspicious.
Before that, of course, hash was
the one great asset for the dentists
and surgeons, and the attitude to-
ward this great staple mystery was
best indicated in the famous old
White Hand restaurant, in the Bow
cry. If a customer ordered hash the
hard faced waiter would bawl
"Gen-le'm'nll take chancep and if
another diner decided upon the same
delicacy the waiter would supple
ment the first order with; Mother

Thus does the advance of cavary
into the menu find a population
which has tried almost everything
once and which with unbridled en-
thusiasm and without a trace of sy-
ing will do its bit now.

THE POULTRY ORDER
FAVORS THE PACKERS
BAN UPON KILLING HENS AND
PULLETS BEFORE MAY WILL
SWELL THEIR PROFITS.

The order of the food aministra-
ton prohibiting the killing of hens
and pullets before the first of May
is a measure that could not be bet
ter designed for the benefit of the
great packing interests of the coun-
try.
This is the expressed belief of
John j. Dillon, former state commits
sioner of markets for New York
state, whose knowledge of the food
conditions is not excelled by any 9TH
er. In explaining how the order
operates to the advantage of the
packers and to the disadvantage Of
the farmers and the consuming pub
lie Mr.. Dillon said:
Vast quantities of eggs were
bought up last spring by the packers
at "a to SO cents a dozen. While I
was commissioner l issued an order
that eggs from storage should be
marked storage eggs. The govern
ment's suggested price for cold
storage eggs is 45 cents a dozen.
But after I went out of office the
state department of markets stopped
enforcing the rule.
Storage Eggs as Fresh.
"The result is that cold storage
eggs have been sold regularly in
New York as fresh eggs for 65 cents
a dozen.
I'm the Last ten weeks the packers
have cleaned out their great stocks I
thus at 100 per cent. profit, while
the sellers of real fresh eggs-the
farmers, whose feed costs 81 hun /
dred pounds-have been forced to
cut prices.
''NOw, here is where the anti-poul-
try killing order comes in. The farm
ers, unable to make money on eggs
in competition with the packers eggs
masquerading as fresh, began to kill
their hens. The federal food admin
istration, through its poultry division,
headed by George Priebe, a dealer in
Chicago then ordered that killing be
stopped until next May
April is the month during which
packers buy eggs in vast quantities
for storage. By that time the farmers
will have large stocks, and prices will
be lower. Then next fall-if allowed
to do so-the packers will put up the
prices again, and cold storage eggs
will go on the market once more as
strictly fresh
Corner in Poultry.
"And that isn't all. The packers
either own or control all the dressed
poultry in storage. The order stop
ping the slaughter of poultry kills
the market for fresh poultry and
kills off competition, leaving the
packers a free field.
This free field will give them the
chance of cleaning out great stocks
of frozen poultry. Meantime the
farmers stocks of salable fowl will
be increasing, and by the time the
packers want to fill their storage
houses again the market will be glutt-
ed and they can make practically
their own prices.
'The fact is, every ruling so far
issued by the food administration
has been for the benefit of the deal
ers, the specialists who periodically
have volunteered to do their bit as
heads of divisions or advisers to the
various agencies formed by the gov
eminent ostensibly for the protection
OF the consumer and the producer"

OFFICERS DECORATED

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, June (By The Associated Press) 1.-Two American lieutenants, both from Pittsburgh, played conspicu- ous parts in stemming the German advance along the Marne. Lieutenant Walter R. Flannery was the first American decorated with the French war cross for participation in the pres ent great battle. Lieutenant John T. Bissel, a West Point graduate, con- manding two machine gun units, was the first AmGrican to cross to the north of the Marne during the fighting.
 Lieutenant Flannery volunteered to swim the Marne Monday night to res cue a wounded Frenchman who had been cut off and made prisoner by the Germans but had escaped. The French man crept to the North bank of the river in the afternoon and signalled to the Americans. He was told to hide in a certain spot until night fall.
 Swims to Rescue
 Tying a rope around himself, Lieu tenant Flannery swan to the rescue while enemy bullets flew all around him, and brought the wounded French man back. This afternoon French and American soldiers lined up while the lieutenant was decorated with the war gross while the cannons boomed and enemy aircraft flew overhead.
 Lieutenant Bissell has been cited for the French war cross. During the height of the fighting the Germans had captured Hill 204 and were sweeping the river front with their fire. Bissell and his men were in an isolated posi- tion and their retreat to the southern bank of the river had been cut of by allied guns which were sweeping a nearby bridge. After he had held up the German advance for 24 hours, Bissell signalled his comrades to cease firing. He and his men then crossed the bridge and saved themselves and 300 Frenchmen, who also had been cut off. The bridge was then blown up.

GERMAN EFFORTS FAIL

PARIS, June 5.-All the efforts of the Germans to advance in the French sectors have been Tepelled, according to the war office announcement to- night. Ground has been regained by the French and prisoners taken.
 The text of the statement reads:
 During the day the enemy at differ ent points renewed his efforts tC au- vance, hut was everywhere repulsed with serious losses. An attempt to cross the Disc near MOntalagache coh- pletely failed.
 North of the Aisne our counter at tacks regained ground near Vingre. We captured more than 150 prisoners and some machine guns.
 m the region of LongpOnt the Ger mans who had succeeded in making some progress around Chavigny farm were driven out, leaving in our hands about fifty prisoners. Everywhere else our positions were maintained
 Our ayiators were very active in the whole Eghti ng zone.
 -Four enemy machines were brought down and two captive balloons burned. An enemy machine on a grand model. having four motors was brought down on the night Of June 1 in the region Of Nanteuil Le Handoin. Its crew or eight men were made prisoners.

ated Press)-The battle area in this sector was swarming today with air craft. The enemy attempted to bomb villages to the rear of the American lines, but most of the bombs fell in the fields.
 Artillery activity has increased in intensity, but all reports are to the effect that the I:ne IS holding firmly.
 The Germans concentrated large forces before Veuilly wood and began a mass attack. They were mown down by the American machine gunners and the attack was broken up before reahc- ing the American line, the Germans fleeing in confusion.
 Fight Like Trojans
 The marines are fighting like tIolans and have no desire for sleep. After infiicting heavy losses on the enemy last night they almost annihilated an enemy patrol this morning. They out fought the German machine gun posi- tion this afternoon, killed seven Ger mans and captured a wounded Ger man.
 The story of how the Americans aid ed the French in stopping the German advance at Chateau ThiGrry is a most remarkable one. The regiment which bore the brunt of the fighting has had glorious career dating back to revo- lutionary days. Although it is now composed mostly of enlisted men many of whom had never been under fire before, it arrived in France and marched direct to the battle line, from its training camp The regiments fire was so deadly that they broke up an entire German formation and drove off the enemy in confusion. Their French conIrades say they showed the great est skill and accuracy while under fire.

The mat ter has been taken up by large num- Der of democrats who, otherwise, would have followed meekly, however unwillingly, behind the Hunt banner till the end of the year. This is shown by the vote of the house that nearly called upon Hunt to give Tom Camp bell the salary received while Campbell did the work of the goveTEur's office. Again, there was more than straw in the action of the senate, when 1t made formal endorsement of Suffers attack upon the governor, one probably never equalled in any other of Ari- Zona's many stormy legislatures. There is some talk among the HuLt men that the Sutter attack and the offering of the Carmichael letter will drive the governor into acceding tO the wishes of his friends and compel him to be a candidate for reelection for the steenth time But there is more ruth in the plain fact that the democrats of the legislature have cCme to the

That the influenza germs have been Sc
cretly scattered in this country By German
U-bOats is a charge difficult to prove, but
their gas attacks on crews of our light
ships and lighthouses furnish character
evidence against them.

germs increase in virulence with the mum.

finally the system acquires immunity
against them through infection.
Treatment for the disease is simple.
Surgeon-General Blue, of the Public
Health Service, summarizes 1t as follows:
Rest In bed, fresh air, abundant food,
free action of intestines, with Dover's
powder for the relief of pain. Every case
with fever should be regarded as serious
and kept in bed"
In order to guard against infection it
Is necessary to keep the mouth and nose
clean and healthy by means OF some mild
antiseptic and to treat all colds promptly.

acid, one teaspoonful bicarbonate of soda
and one teaspoonful OF common salt will

be found very useful in keeping nose and
throat clean.
The disease is spread by "drOplet infec-
tion," that is, by little drops swarming
with germs scattered by infected persons
who sneeze, spit and cough in public
places One sneeze in street car may
infect a whole city.
1t is therefore very comforting to know
that Health Commissioner Copeland, of
New York, has called a meeting of theatri-
cal managers and others with a view to
enforcing the laws against splitting in
public.
kissing is another prolific method of in
fection, and this practice should be stopped
except in cases where it is absolutely in
dispensable to happiness. kissing between
members of the gentle sex can certainly
be abolished without hardship.
. Army doctors have found the "gauze face
mask" very useful in preventing infection.
This is made with three or four layers of
gauZe in the shape OF a rectangle five by
seven inches, covering the mouth and
nose and secured by a band over the ears
and round the back Of the head.
