MRS. SLYTER DIES OF FLU;
ENTIRE FAMILY is I'LL
Pneumonia Claims Hover Woman Few
Days After the Death of Her
Sister and Nephew

Mrs. w. p. Slyter died at three
o'clock this afternoon at her home in
Hover. Death was due to pneumonia
following influenza. The body has
been removed to the Mueller Under
taking Parlors but funeral arrange
ments have not yet been made.
Mrs. Slyter is daugter of S. 8.
Kilmer and a sister of Mrs. Henry
McKelvy who died Saturday of last
week on the same day that a son of
another sister died of influenza on the
Coast.
Mr.. Slyter is still seriously i'll of
pneumonia and two sons aged 10 and
Is are convalescing at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Egbert, where they
were placed by the local branch of the
Red Cross. A baby girl, who is also
i'll is being cared for by relatives and
a niece, Mrs. Lund, is, convalescing at
the home of c. C. Cantwell of Hover.
All six members of the family were
ill at the same time and had it not
been for the untiring efforts of Miss
Long, trained nurse of Richland, and
Mr.. Cantwell there would undoubtedly
have been other fatalities in the fam
lily. Miss Long, because of long hours
OF work and exposure, contracted the
influenza and is seriously ill at The
local hospitl.

NO FOOD RULES
in RESTAURANTS
Food Administration Lifts All
Regulations Over Public
Eating Houses

The United States Food Admins
tration has announced that beginning
last Monday, all restrictions for public
eating places are rescindcd. With this
announcement the Food Administra-
ton, however, urges the Importance of
continued conservation of all food
stuffs.
partial rehabilitation of the food
administration and the withdraw of
many of its rules and regulations have
given the impression in some quarters
that all it's activities have ceased or
are shortly to cease. This is not the
case" says Charles Hebbcrd, federal
food administrator for Washington.
"The act imposes on the admins
tration certain obligations which con-
tinue until presidential proclamation
releases us from the food control act
and particularly the obligation to curb
profiteering and specializing in licen-
sed food products. This function must
continue to be performed and there is
no intention of relaxing in this direc-
ton.
att has been possible, now that
peace is assured, to cancel many re-
quirements for reports and many OF
the details of the regulations, but the
profit margins and rules have been for
the most part retained and will be en-
forced by revocation of licenses and
other appropriate penalties. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be possible from
time to time to remove certain COM
modities from the license lis, but this
will be limited to commodities which
do not seem likely to be subject to pos
sibility of speculation and profiteer-
ing"

KENNEWICK AND PASCO
SCHOOLS BURY RATCHET
Friendly Relations between the Two
Schools are Restored-To Play
Basketball

Supt. II. H. Hoffman is rejoicing not
a little over the fact that friendly re
lations have been restored between the
Kennewick and Pasco high schools.
Owing to misunderstanding regard
ing a debate and personal unfriendli-
ness growing out of a basketball game
there had been no exchange of -cour-
tesies and activities between the two
schools for some time.
Several weeks ago Supt. Hoffman
started out to investigate the cause of
the break with view to restoring the
friendly relations. He found Supt. A.
c. Argo of the Pasco high school only
too willing to meet him half way and
as neither of the two men were con-
nectcd with the schools when the break
came they had no difficulty in "bury-
ing the hatchet." AS matter of fact
Supt. Hoffman says the student bodies
never took cognizance of the imagin-
airy grievances and such enmity as ex-
listed was merely between individuals
and not between the institutions.
A series of basketball games has
been arranged for between the two
schools, the first game to be played in
Pasco, January 3.

THOUSAND TONS
OF CIDER APPLES
Church Mfg. Co. Manufactures
Between 5000 and 10000
Gallons of Apple Cider

Few people perhaps, realized the
real magnitude of the by-products
business of the Church Mfg. company
of this city. During the few years it
has been in business the company has
established a reputation as the makers
of the finest grape juice in the world.
In starting the business it was the aim
of its founder, M. H. Church, to man.
ufacture not only grape juice but all
kinds of fruit by-products. This year
for the first time he is beginning to
realize that ambition.
For two years the company has In
a small way, manufactured apple cid
err, but this year this product has be-
come the big end of the business.
Several months ago Mr.. Church con-
tracted with local marketing agencies
for the purchase of all their Gull ap-
pies, estimated at about 400 tons. The
percentage of culls ran much heavier
than the estimates and to date Mr..
Church's company has purchased more
than 1000 tons of Gull apples and be-
fore the pressing season is over will
have manufactured between 125,000
and 10000 gallons of apple cider.
Most of the cider is to be condensed
and will be sold not as a beverage but
to be used in the manufacture of APP
pie butter, apple jelly, mince. meat and
other products. The local company
has manufactured small quantities of
apple jelly which has been highly
commended by Northwest dealers and
jobbcrs and as soon as plans for an
enlarged plant can be carried out
jams, jellies. preserves and fruit but
tiers, as well as fruit juices, will be
added to the annual output.

cons iderable annoyance. The attack
was preceded by barrage.
In the attack by the Americans sub
stantial stone building formerly used
as a tannery was occupied, most of the
Germans having fed or been killed
when the American barrage began. The
tannery commands the Vesle bridges
and other important points.
The Germans started their attack
with barrage; then the infantry en-
deavored to wrest the tannery from the
Americans. Close fighting ensued, the
Americans taking three prisoners at one
place and eleven at another.
