sPORTING NOTES.

The Freshmen are to play with the big boys this year on most of the college football teams. Under pres ent conditions it is likely that the yearlings will be very nearly the whole cheese on the diamond, as the upperclassmen will hardly have got used to the fit of their moleskins before they will be nominated for officers training corps and other berths beyond the plaudits of pretty girls, delirious alumni, billiard mark CTS and other pigskin chasers.
 They're off in the war time football mixup. Here's hoping it does not have as disastrous an ending as base ball.
 Buy your Liberty bond before you bet on the game. If you win perhaps you can buy another. If you lose you have some consolation anyway.

FOOD CARD FOR DOGS
French CANNES Are Likely to Be
"Hooverized."
Feeding Has Become Serious Problem
Great Shortage In Gasoline and
Tobacco.

Paris.-The dog population OF the
republic has been living, fighting and
suffering with the human population
In resisting the German octopus, and
is now about to be restricted by
''cards" along with the humans.
The latest system to be announced
is that, following the demands Of the
Agricultural Society of Moulins, the
government Is considering the intro
duction of a bread card for dogs, a
card that will entitle dogs doing use
full work for the country to their
proportionate share of dog biscuit.
Since the first Of the month an
other discommoding scheme has taken
effect. No gasoline can be sold, even
for domestic uses, such as lighting,
heating or cooking. The government
stated energetic measures had to be
taken, In view of the fact that the
stocks Of gasoline were almost ex
hausted and 1t would be dangerous
to permit them to become further
depleted.
A ruder shock for the entire male
population of France. which smokes
almost to a man after reaching the
g of twelve, came with the publ
cation of the news that there was no
more tobacco to be had. Imported
English tobaccos are still to be OBJ
tanned in limited quantities, but the
price is prohibitive to the average
Frenchman.
The reasons given for the tobacco
shortage are the increased consump-
ton by the soldiers In the trenches
and the decreased production and i'm
portation, due to the lack Of bottoms
A good deal has been said about
the establishment Of a tobacco card
but the government has suggested
that a system of voluntary rationing
be first tried out. II this Is ~unsuccess
full nothing will remain bat the add
ton of one more card to the rapidly
growing list.

LOST FOR NINETEEN YEARS
Box % Flrst-Aid Material Made for

Turns Up.

Burr Oak, Hich.-After being on the
way 10 years, q box was received by
Capt. Charles p. Wheeler sent him by
express by his mother.
Captain Wheeler led q company Of
volunteers in the Spanish-American
war In 1893. and while at Camp Al
ger. Don Loring. Va, his mother sent
him = box weighing 70 pounds. con-
tanning nrst-aid material and medicine.
Before the box arrived the company
had moved to Cuba, and az the COM
pany moved 20 rapidly the box never
caught up. On his return he tried to
trace the box without success.
Last week the box arrived from Phil
adelphia, being sent by Col. r. H.
Rolfe Of the Quartermaster corps, 1t
being presumably laid aside with
other war material and finally brought
to light.
The contents Of the box were In good
condition, and Captain Wheeler has
turned over the box to the Three Riv-
err camp Of the Spanish-American Vet
Grams to be disposed Of for the benefit
Of the Red Cross.

CHANCE FOR FORTUNE
Fame Also to Man Who Cures
Measles and Mumps.
Uncle Same Army and Navy Surgeons
Dread Measles More Than Any
Other Disease.

Washington. - Fame and fortune
await the man who can trace to its
our that periodical bugbesr Of the
army and navy-the measles and
mumps epidemic.
For some unknown reason, when
ever troops are concentrated, either
In large camps or on board ship, one
Of the first diseases to make It's APP
pearance is the measles, and this dis
ease which most Of us place In the
category Of childhood Ills, Is n Of
the most dreaded by army surgeons.
Symptoms of the disease appearing
In n of the men is the signal for
the immediate quarantining of the
soldiers company and the barracks
where he Is located. Fumigation Of
the barracks then follows and every
precaution Is taken to prevent an
epidemic.
An after-effect of measles, greatly
feared by army surgeons, Is the devel-
opment of pneumonia, and 1t has been
found that the fatalities among ma
ture persons are much greater than
with children. The pneumonia result
has been more prevalent In the canton
ments located In the southern states
than In those Of the North or West.
Generally speaking, surgeons look
for humps at about the time that
measles appear. and are rarely disap'
pointed. The fatalities through mumps
do not begin to reach the number OF
those by measles, but the same rigid
quarantine Is observed In both cases
For many years the best surgeons
I'm the army have been working or
theories that would eradicate the
source Of these diseases, but they have
to admit that they are now no nearer
a solution than ever before.
This Is the season Of the year thai
the epidemics usually start, and Il
would not be surprising to hear o.
the quarantining of entire canton
ment posts In all sections OF the coun
try through the holiday season.

URGES PATRIOTS TO
EAT MORE CLANS

Portland, Ore.-"Eat ciams."
Is the advice of DIR. @. III. Ed
mondson. assistant professor OF
zoology at the University OF
Oregon. to all patriotic Ameri-
cans who e trying to conserve
the nations meat supply. He de-
clares the clam Is as palatable
as the oyster and has a similar
food value.
Doctor Edmondson suggests
the use Of the clam In place Of
red meats, which the govern
> ment Is striving to conserve.
This suggestion comes as the re-
suit of a survey he made recent
ly under the direction of the
United States bureau Of fisher
les. His object was to discover
the edible species of shellfsh, to
find where they may be obtained
In quantities and to perfect q
means of cooperating with those
engaged In marketing this sea
