With Hundreds of
Men Learning to Fly
Accidents Are Few

Records of the War Department
show that from the beginning of
,r.ini g in June, 1917, to February
-, 1911, the fatalities at military
aviation fields in this country have
l. cen 81; 10 officers and 20 cadets,
killed in training flights, and II
naen killed in unauthorized flights
and around accidents
Since the training Began in the
United States, student aviators
Lave flown considerably more than
100000 miles. Hundreds of hither-
to inexperienced men have been
learning to fly. Their early flights
are under the guidance of instruc-
tors, and prior to these flights two
or more months are spent in pre-
liminary ground work. There
comes time, however, when every
student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every pre-
caution has been taken to reduce
the number of accidents and safe
guard the aviator in his solo flights

Food May Sc Saved by Close
Watch of Weather Forecasts

Immense losses Of food products, oc'
casioned by freezing and other injuri-
Gus weather conditions, occur annually
that may, with proper precautions, be
avoided. This is especially true OF
llipnents by rail during the winter
season. The weather bureau issues
forecasts daily, and special warnings
IS occasion demands, giving informa'
ton of expected weather conditions, In
Guiding frosts, cold waves, high winds
md heavy rains or snow. During the
winter season, officials in charge OF
nearly all weather bureau stations is
sue daily what are known as "Ship'
pers' Forecasts" giving the minimum
temperature expected to occure within
shipping radius of from "a to 80
hours from the station. These fore
casts are published on postal cards.
Careful watch Of forecasts and
warnings will often enable shippers to
avoid losses, either by expediting or
delaying shipments or taking extra pre-
cautions to protect goods from injury.
No shipment Of considerable length
should be made without first ascertain
ing the expected conditions over the
route. The occasion demands the ut
most care to prevent losses of food not
only as matter of self-interest but as
O patriotic duty.

Alien! 81 hCkER
Bill. PASSES
Letter From Lansing Stating
Treaties Were Being ARRANGED,
Read in Debate.
VOTE IN HOUSE 344. TO Il
Amendment Rejected That Provides
Against Draft of Aliens if Nations
Had Other Treaties - they
May Be Deported.

Washington.-Over the protest OF
Secretary Lansing the house OF repre-
sentatives passed the so called alien
Stacker bill by vote of 344 to Il.
The administration will continue It's
fight against the measure in the SEN
ate. A letter was read during the de-
bate by Chairman Flood of the For
eign Affairs Committee, in which Sec
rotary Lansing informed the house
that treaties had been arranged al
ready with Great Britain and Canada
and that others were near completion
with France and Italy.
Representative Burnett of Alabama,
author of the bill, replied that the
state department had made many
similar predictions ever since the
United States went to war. He de-
clared that Congress, as we'll as the
state department, was in duty bound
TO protect "the native American from
the alien Stacker, who would stay at
home and get the Americans jon
while he went to the trenches
An amendment by Representative
Rogers of Massachusetts providing
that no aliens be drafted If their
countries had treaties to the contrary
was rejected. This change in the bill
also was backed by the adnlinlstra-
ton. 1t is understood to refer partic'
ularly to Italy,
The bill as completed provides that
any alien who claims exemption from
military service by reason of his alien
age shall be deported and shall never
be eligible to American citizenship.
This, said Representative Burnett, Is
the farthest the country can go. He
said, that, while it was legally impos'
sible to draft a foreigner If the latter
declined, the penalty Of deportation
would induce the most of them to join
the ranks.
Burnett said after the bill passed
that he thought it possible that France
and Italy might now be spurred to
complete the pending treaties in order
not to have their subjects and citizens
drafted into American service. He
thought, too, that the senate, which
has been holding up the proposed trea
ties with Great Britain and Canada
might be fastened to action.
Leaders of both parties and the
stanchest of administration support.
ers got on the band wagon when II
was finally assured the bill would
pass. On amendment earlier in the
day, designed to weaken the bill,
the administration had as high as 133
votes.
Opposition to the bill was based nj
most, entirely on the possibility that il
might cause international troubles
with friendly nations.

Good Food for the Family.
While we are cutting down on our
meat, using less beef, mutton and pork,
the following recipe will help out when
planning beef dinner:
Beef and Kidney Ragout.
Wash skin and cut beef kidney into
one-fourth-inch cubes; wipe pound of
stew meat and cut into inch cubes.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and
dredge with flour. Cut two slices Of
bacon into dice, put into saucepan, add
one onion peeled and sliced, cook three
minutes, then add the meat and stir
and cook until well Drowned. Add a
cupful of boiling water, tablespoonful
OF Worcestershire sauce and one green
pepper cut in strips; bring to the boil
ing point, and cook slowly until the
meat is tender. Thicker the gravy,
add half-cupful of stoned ripe olives
and garnish with rings Of green pepper
and fried mush.
A salad that Is most appetizing Is
made of a small head of cabbage and
one onion chopped fine. Cut thick
slice Of salt pork into small dice and
fry out until brown; pour the fat all
over the cabbage, stir well, add salt
and pepper to taste, then pour over
enough boiling hot vinegar to moisten
and further season the cabbage. Serve
at once.

The move by which work will be
done soon on the east-and west
route, between Lone Fountain and
the Highland line, should be very
gratifying to our people. The
work of certain individuals in dl-
,vertipg money to this road that
would otherwise have gone tlse+
where was timely and right, IN our
Judgment, becaase the primary
roads are those termed inter stale,
and links in extensive highways.
The section of road referred to,
on which work will soon begin, Is
now one of the worst between Mon
terey and Staunlon, and even II
this county is unable to come up at
once with her enI of the line, Au-
gusta will have made the drive
much more inviting, and Highland
cannot long withstand the chal-
lenge.
We are not informed as to the
status of money matters--State
and National--available this year,
but the situation is doubtless fa-
miliar to the authorities, and they
will not fail to meet every possible
condition and "pull every wire
looking to the important matter OF
a complete. modern highway as a
county outlet. 1t means as much
to Highland as a railroad.

Culture ButtermiIk More
Beneficial as Drink; Has
More of the Tactic Acid

Culture bntterlnilk is more beneficial
ms drink than the common variety,
according TO G.. e. Buchanan of the
dairy department Of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. 1t is more like
" to be free from harmful bacteria,
and to contain more of the Tactic acid
which gives it its healthful properties.
Tactic acid bacteria are present in
the digestive tract and destroy other
bacteria which might prove injurious
to the body. The use Of buttermilk as
a beverage is one method Of introduce
ing more of these tactic bacteria into
the system.
Whole or skim milk may be used to
make culture buttermilk, but usually
these are combined in equal parts. The
milk is first subjected to temperature
Of 1870 degrees for 30 minutes to steri-
lie it. 1t is then cooled to 70 de-
crees and q small amount of starter
is added. The milk Is kept at this
temperature for ten or twelve hours
until the whole is coagulated. After
wards it is beaten thoroughly or churn-
ed from three to five minutes and salt
ed-one teaspoonful of salt to each
gallon. The buttermilk is then cooled
to so degrees, at which temperature 1t
is kept ready for use.
The starter is made from pure Tactic
acid culture obtained from the labora-
tories where it is cultivated. The lac.
tic acid bacteria aye carried by means
Of sterilized milk powder made from
the dried casein of milk.
A small quantity Of this powder is
put into a small bottle of milk, which
soon coagulates. The curded milk is
used in new bottle Of milk the next
dey and this process Is continued
through three or four propagations.
These preliminary propagations of the
starter are necessary to eliminate the
peculiar taste of the original powdered
milk culture.

Civil Rights Bill

Washington, March 4.-Giving
sweeping protection to the United
States fighting men the soldiers
aud sailors civil rights bill was
finally approved this afternoon by
Congress. President Wilson's sigma
ture is now all that is needed to
complete the legislatian. This is
expected within the next day or
two:
Under its provisions the fighting
men and their dependents are
protected against eviction for non
payment of rent, delayed premi-
ums on life insurance, execution of
of mortgages against property, loss
home upon which part payments
have been made, loss of property
for non payment of taxes or loss of
homestead through absence or non.
payment of fees.
All of this protection is given on
the condition that a mans norma!
ability to meet his obligations has
been materially affected by his
military service.
The house approved the con-
ference report on the bill tonight.

during the year at price well above
that generally prevailing. In addition
to the manufacture of 425,OS4 pounds
of butter, the products included l39'-
5S5 pounds Of cotton cheese, 1,5O4O2o

RIGHT USES FOR SKIM MILK
None Should Be Wasted as 1t Fur
nishes Maximum Amount of Food
to Human Beings.

All skim milk should be used-none
wasted. 1t should furnish the maxi
mum of food to human beings and
does this better when used direct, as
cottage cheese, prepared buttermilk,
or other by-products, than when fed
to animals and converted into meat.
Surplus iskim milk, Of course, may be
used economically to feed hogs, yet
100 pounds Of it, which will produce
Is pounds of cheese, produce only
4.8 pounds of dressed pork if fed with
corn. Skim milk, if made into cottage
cheese, furnishes nearly seven times
as much protein and nearly as much
energy as the dressed pork 1T would
produce. Of course the most nourish-
ment is obtained when skim milk is
used direct, either for drinking or
cooking. AS Ear SIS possible, therefore,
skim milk should be used for human
food and only the excess fed to live
stock.

Self-reStraint Or
Self-indulgence

Americans have set squarely be-
fore them the most important
question OF their national career.
In its simplest terms it amounts TO
whether they are willing to practice
reasonable selfdenial in order that
national safety may be assured.
Teaching selt-restraint to a people
accustomed to self indulgence is not
EASY; habits of extravaganza aud
waste are too firmly fixed to be
easily overcome, but unless we are
to face sacrifices far more terrible
than any we are now asked to
make, We must do many, many
things we would not trink OF doing
under normal conditions. Last
wear, with the impetus of our fresh
entry into the war and its conse-
ouent wave of enthusiasm, we
made much progress along conser-
walton lines. But the effort did
not entirely reach the goal sought,
and now that the pull has become
steady and some degree irksome it
is all the more important that the
work be kept moving. Americans
must save in every way to win the
war.
This does not mean parslmon'ous
practice IN any sense. but does in
voIve a rational exercise of economy
and thrift, In the past we have
given ourselves to lmproVldence
that Il we might not be thought to
be niggard; now we are asked to
