AT THE
 ODD FELLOWS HOME.

Batesville, Oct. 26-Tt is with re- gret that the public has learned of the general unfortunate conditions at the Odd Fellows Home in this city, brought on mainly on account of the epidemic of influenza which has struck that institution hard.
 While very large number of cases have been reported at the home, and there are still a number very sick, it is much to the credit of the physician in charge that only two deaths have occurred of all cases reported, when we consider the unfortunate sanitary conditions which have existed all of the time, due it is said to lack of labor and failure to secure proper nursing for the sick.
 The state health authorities have been appealed to and through this organization, according to a report in the Gazette this morning, nurses have been sent to Batesville to aid in the care of tn sick.

AN ANXIOUS DRAFTEE.

Among the eighteen or more dra1- tees called for yesterday, and sent to Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas, was w. M. Lowry, from the Cow Lake neighborhood. In a few mo- ments' conversation with a represen- tative of the Independent, MT. Lowry stated he had been trying to get into the big scrap ever since it started, but a streak of bad luck that had persist ently followed him, kept him at home. It seems he has been called four or five times but never got fur ther than Newport. He stated how ever, that the chances were good for him to leave the confines of the state this time, and he was sure feeling good over it. His great de sire, he said, was to get lover there and go over the top at least one time' just to see how it feels.

London, Oct. 26.-The German gov ernment is not contemplating at present any further note to President Wilson, says a Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. The government will likely make an an- nouncement in the Reichstag to the effect that Germany is awaiting the peace conditions of the allies.
 An official statement, according to which the demobilization of the Aus tro- Hungarian army is being prepar- ed, was published today by Vienna newspapers, says a Copenhagen dis patch to the Exchange Telegraph.

tendent, have both been i'll and un- able to perform their regular work, Mrs. Reeves having had a very com plicated case of pneumonia.
 Much credit is due to number of ladies of Batesville for their unsel- fish and brave assistance rendered to the children for the past two weeks, as many of them have given volun- tary service without any hope of re- muneration, but even with this aid it is stated that serious lack of prop CT clothing and bed linen is being felt, which prevents the proper re- suits of any nursing which can be rendered.

United States Highway Council Will Not Recommend Release Of Oil
 For Newport Streets.

The Chamber of Commerce has just received letter from the United States Highway Council at Washing ton in which the department acknowl- edges application for the approval of delivery of 5000 gallons of asphalt oil to be used on the streets of New port. "As this material is requested for dust laying purposes" the letter reads, "the United States Highway Council is unwilling to recommend the release of same in view of the shortage of materials which might be used or converted into fuel and the need therefor by industries and agen- cies engaged in war activities"
 Manager Mariner of the Chamber of Commerce took every available step to secure oil for the Newport streets, but the above letter shows the reason for failure, and the city will have to postpone the matter ot abating the dust evil until clrcum- stances permit the release of oil. Funds had been raised with which to purchase the oil, and MT. Mariner suggests that the money be allowed to remain in the fund for the pur- pose of purchasing the oil as soon as it is available, but says that any one wishing the return of the payment may have same by calling at the Chamber of Commerce.

O|D YOU PURCHASE
 ID MUCH FLOljh?
Read The Recent Order Of The Fed eral Food Administrator Aud Re-
 member It Is To Be Enforced.

The following ruling pertaining to the purchase and sale of Victory mix ed and standard wheat flour, which was issued by State Food Adminls- trator Hamp Williams should receive the very thoughtful consideration Of consumers and retailers:
 "No retailer shall be permitted to] sell or any consumer purchase more than 12 pounds per capita, per month, Victory mixed or standard wheat flour; provided, first, country families may purchase a 90 days sup ply; second, city and town families may purchase 30 days supply"
 The State Food Administration al- so announced that all other rules pre- viously announced are still in effect.
 "The reason for the promulgatlon of the foregoing ruling regulating the sale of flour, reads a statement from MT. Williams, lis this: Reports have been coming to our office that farmers have been loading up on flour. buying as many as three and four barrels. That is clearly hoard ing. To hoard flour or any other food is a crime. Hoarding is punish able by fine of $5,OO0 and imprison- ment in a Federal penitentiary, and I suggest to any who have bought more flour than is permitted under the ruling just made to return the eX- cess to the merchant they got it from. Our inspectors are working through ont the state and it would go very hard for any one to be caught With a great supply of flour that had been bought" |,
 Officials. of the United States Food Administration, Washington, have ln- formed Mir. Williams that agents ot mills have no right to leave thelr trade under the impression that all raoulations as to flour sales nave been removed, and action will be ta- ken against mills found guilty of spreading propaganda of that na- ture.
 Officers of the State Food Admin istration consider the recent ruling a most liberal interpretation of a reasonable amount" specified m the . Food Control act passed by congress. Attention is also called to the use o1 substitutes with all standard wheat flour. These substitutes, cornmeai' , corn flour and barley flour, must De } sold with standard wheat flour at the , rate of one pound of substitutes TOT ,, , every four pounds of flour purchased 5 Victory flour, however, is sold with-
 ont substitutes and housewives are
 ,,roed bv the State Food Administra y ton to demand this flour rom re : tailers.
