London, May 22.-"D Dirty dogs, they

in their blood to be foul and dirty"
The old soldier ceased, or rather
suspended utterance as he sought in
his mind for an incident TO illustrate
his assertion.
The talk in the cafe dealt with the
Germans and their methods of war
fare. and the men who were in the
cafe All that moment had just come
back from the front line. While
they were there, their kultured enemy
had turned machine gun on two
British stretcherbearers who had
gone Out into No Mans Land to carry
ID wounded German soldier. They
. had placed him on the stretcher and
were making their way back TO the
home trench when the machine gun
was turned on them, willing the two
men as well as the hapless man whom
they were carrying to safety.
Other similar happenings were re-
called, and it was then that the old
man spoke He had been a regular
soldier who had fought many battles
and had lived through Mons. Ypres,
Loos and the Somme. The old man
knew the foe whom he was up against.
He Knew Their Ways.

Food substitutes and a model kitchen
en- where experiments in conserving
food may be carried on, will be opened
this week In room in the Library
Building, Eighth and Market streets,
which is the headquarters Of Miss
Amelia Doddridge, Federal Domestic
Economist Miss Doddridge proposes to
have on display at the room, all kinds
Of wheat 1our substitutes vegetable oils
70 take the place OF fats. syrups to re-
place granulated sugar and cereal and
other substitutes for meat.
Miss Doddridge is desirous that house
wives should visit the room and see for
themselves. these substitutes and also
learn OF the dishes that are being made
in place Of the foods that the govern
ment wishes conserved.
Master bakers Of the city met az the
Hotel dupont on Saturday afternoon
where with Dr. Jacobs. Of the Food Ad-
ministration at Washington, they dis
cussed the new restrictions in the use Of
wheat flour.
One Of the things that was Impress
ed upon the bakers minds was that
bread and rolls may contain no more
than 50 per cent. wheat lour, while
pies, cakes and pastries must not con-
tain more than 20 per cent OF wheat.
Animal oils are restricted to about IS
per cent. but vegetable oils may be
used.
An imnortant announcement made at
the meeting was that after March 3. rye
lour would not be considered a sub
stitute for wheat BY that time regu-
lations about rye 1our will be deter
mined upon. and will be announced to
the trade. Up until that time. however.
rye Will be considered a substitute The
reason. Or Jacobs explained. is that so
many people now use rye -four. After
March only so much rye -four will be
permitted in bread.
Because OF The quickness with which
sub stitutes hasten the fermentation Of
bread, and because bakers will have to
readiust their schedule In baking 20 ac-
commOdate the new mixture Of wheat
with substitutes is the reason they were
given until February p TO prepare for
the change to 20 per cent substitute
Dr. Jacobs also announced a change
In the weight of the standards fixed for
leaves by the Food Administration.
Pound loaves may now contain any
where from IS TO ~ ounces. hut when
y l0aves are placed on the scales the
- must weigh . pounds
Two-pound loayes may weigh any
where from 30 10 Is ounces, but p
loaves put on the scales must weigh
80 pounds This elasticity is done to
aid the bakers. so that in case a limited
States inspector makes a visit Of in
spection they may not be liable
for short loaves. and at the same time
may not have been compelled 10 give
more than i6 ounces for a loaf.

Ella told Judge Churchman that her
husband struck her Saturday when an

The defendant denied that he struck
his wife. saying his wife grabbed his

he stopped her at the door as she was
trying TO take the hat away for the pur-
pose Of incOnveniencing him.
AS there were two witnesses against
the defendant who said Johnson struck
his wife, Judge Churchman warned
