Unpatriotic Discrimination

The problem of employment for
the young men of the draft age who
have not yet been called to the col
ors is one of increasing Importance.
Many advertisements of situations
wanted carry the statement that the
applicants must not be included in
the draft. Gradually there has
come about discrimination against
the man of conscription age. And
this Is the kind of young man who,
sooner or later, is going to be called
upon to fight to make the world safe
for the men who now refuse to give
him a job.-Indianapo polls News.

LIBERTY DAY

/
L the President and the Governor,
is to be observed as Liberty Day
celebrating the first anniversary of
our entry into the war.
The holiday-at least from noon
until evening-will be marked by the
closing of stores and business places
in general, but the occasion is not
designed to be one for individual
jollification. The plan is to utilize the
time for the sale of Liberty Bonds
We are too busy, all of us, with pre-
parations for the war and in keeping
industry running full tide, to waste
whole halliday in useless occupation.
1t was not the Presidents thought
nor yet the Governors that we should
this year celebrate Liberty Day as
we do the Fourth of July, each in his
own way, but that we should con-
centrate on the sale of bonds, each of
which bought is a blow in the face
of the Kaiser, and thus each of us
do our bit" for the cause.
Very likely by noon tomorrow
will go over the top, so
far as our own subscriptions are con-
cerned, but we are only part of the
district as a whole, and we must help
this county and surrounding coun-
ties, from which, no doubt, quite a
amount of the subscrip-
tions credited to the city itself have
come. We must not stop until the end
of the campaign, May 4, however
much we may subscribe in Harris
burg.
Probably you know of somebody
who can buy bond and has not.
Make a list of your friends who do
not wear Liberty Bond buttons and
afternoon constitute your
self a volunteer worker to call upon
all such and ask them to subscribe.
Tell them that If they have not suf-
fcient money now you can make ar
rangements with any bank to pay
for the bond on the instalment plan,
at the rate of 81 or more a week
Then take your subscriptions to Lib
erty Bond headquarters in the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms in the old
Hotel building, Mar
llet Square and Market street, and
get buttons and flags for those you
have induced to buy bonds.
After that you will be entitled to
spend the remainder of the holiday
as you please, and will go to bed
with the consciousness of having
done something to help win the war.

Authority for Wide Skirts.

Those who are wearing wide skirts
get their authority from Jeanne Lam
vim, one of the first designers of the
world. She Is the only dressmaker
who insisted upon the five-yard skirt,
and she held to her conviction by
turning out dozens of gathered or
plated skirts that hang Imply to the
figure, but are not in keeping with
the narrow silhouette Of the day. She
Is not unpatriotic. She did not s an
undue amount of wool In these skirts.
She had a few dozen other materials
to handle, and she is quite right in in
sisting that all her organdie skirts
should be five yards at the hem. Moth
ing is more ungainly than a hobble
skirt of muslin or transparent fabric,
but 1t Is believed that the Americans
in mass will not accept LAWNS
skirts, as they prefer the r~edingote
over a slim foundation when they
wish fullness.

Mouth Veil is Latest.

Just to prove that variety is all
that is needed in the world of fashion
to interest femininity, gaze on the new
wells which are designed for afternoon
and evening wear and already show
signs of becoming popular. The new
veil swathes the lower half of the
face, giving the upper half a rest, and
reaches from the tip of the nose to
far below the chin. Smart women are
probably growing tired Of the nose
veil and the veil for the chin and
mouth will doubtless be a welcome
change. The harem veil, which made
its appearance last summer on the
bathing beaches, suggested the new
one and the designers, disregarding
the original purpose Of the beach veil
as a protector from the sun, are u.s.
ing the idea for evening wear. 1t is
never worn with a hat and is tied
about the head like a scarf.

And they shall come-the gallant dead

The souls that made of earth's dark

The Maid of France shall ride again,
grave captains AT her side again,
And Nelson's spirit on the wave shall
call 10 victory.

Still hold aloft the deathlesS rose,

Food Value Of Fish
Extensive Use Recommended by
Department Of Agriculture

Further evidence that fish deserves
from a recent series of digestion expert
ments in the United States depart
ment of agriculture. These tests fur
nished scientific proof that fish, which
has always been reckoned as q val
liable food, is very completely utii-
lied In the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
~butterfish, salmon and grayfish-a va
riety not generally used in this cOun-
try-were made into fish lOaves" and
served as q basis of a simple mixed
diet TO young men of healthy appe-
tites.
Both the protein and the fat of the
fish were well utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfish, 91.9 per cent; grayfish, US
per cent; and salmon, 93.2 per cent.
The percentages of fat digested were
found to be: Boston mackerel, 95.2
per cent; butterfish, S6.4 per cent !;
grayfsh, 94.3 per cent; salmon, 93.7
per cent.
In addition To the fish loaf, the diet
included potatoes, crackers, fruit, SUI
gar, and tea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 44O
grams of Boston mackerel, All grams
of butterfish, 40 grams of grayfish, or
355 grams of salmon, indicating that
in every case the fish was eaten with
relish.
The department recently has con-
Guided an investigation of the COM
mercial freezing and storing of fish,
and a bulletin on that subject says
that this method of preserving fish will
hold them for many months in the con-
dition in which they were received, but
will not counteract deterioration due
to previous heating or mishandling.
Chemical analyst shows no significant
changes in frozen fish held for 27
months-much longer than would be
necessary or profitable in storing fish
commercially.

POULTRY CONVERT
WASTE INTO FOOD

(By the United States Department of
Agriculture
The central thought to be borne in
mind in considering the growing of
more poultry as a war necessity is the
fact that the keeping of poultry is a
means of converting into good food
materials that cannot be utilized by
man, that cannot be eaten by any 9th
er kinds of stock, and that, without
the poultry, would be absolute waste.
Very clearly. it becomes a national as
we'll as an individual duty to keep
enough poultry to take up all such
waste materials. As long as fowls
take the bulk of their feed from such
sources and require to be fed on grain
or other garnered feeds only as a fin
ishing process, additional food is being
created.
Careful planning must be done, of
course, to insure the utilization of as
many kinds of waste materials as pos
sible and to avoid OverstOcking with
any n kind of poultry that would not
be fully fed from the particular kinds
Of waste which it eats and would,
therefore, require to be largely fed
from garnered materials.
Chickens, in any general scheme of
poultry production, of course, must
take first place. They are best adapt
ed to general conditions, take a wide
range of feeds and convert them, per-
haps, with the greatest margin of
profit. Chickens, better than any 9th
er class of poultry, utilize table scraps
and the general u of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parings to sour milk. Chick
ems far, surpass all other kinds of poul-
try in salvaging waste grain from the
stables, from the she'd or lot where the
cattle are fed, and from hog pens. Dur
ing the winter months, on farms where
any considerable number of live stock
are kept, the 100 hens suggested
would make their living from these
sources with only slight additional
feeding from time to time. Chickens
are great destrOyerS of insects, includ-
ing many injurious forms, in yard, pas
ture, cnd orchard. They utilize, also,
many grasses and weeds, n seeds
from the same, that would otherwise
be of no use. Except in isolated in
stances, the part Of wisdom would be,
undoubtedly, TO keep more chickens
than all other kinds OF poultry COM
bined, but there should be, in a ma
jority of cases, some of all the other
common kinds of poultry.

Simple Remedies That viii

scrupulous care exercised TO see that
no such material Is placed In drawers

way toward preventing serious annoy
