Try Whale Meat.

With meat prices high and still rising
whale meat, which is being given try.
| out n New England, bids fair to become
popular, with its price around 25 cents
per pound and its quality said to win for
it a place among other sea foods, which
the food administrator is urging all to
eat instead of meat.
Two ways are here given for cooking
the whale meat:
Whale Steak-Have steak cut one half
inch thick. Dip for minute in hot water
containing one teaspoon of baking soda
to one quart of water. Grease the wires
of broiler or frying pan and allow the
pan to become quite hot. Put the steak
in and scar quickly on both sides Re
duce the heat slightly, cook for about
three minutes and allow to brown well.
Remove to hot platter, sprinkle with
pepper and salt, dot over with butter,
add a few drops of sauce, garnish with
parsley and serve at once
Pot Roast of Whsle-Four pounds of
whale meat cut in square or oblong Dip
in warm soda water for five minutes
Drain thoroughly and scar well on all
sides in hot CREASED frying pan. Put
the meat in large saucepan. Drop in
small cheesecloth bag containing one tea
spoon picking spice, one-half bay leaf.
three sprirs chopped parsley. one chopped
onion, and cover well with boiling water.
Simmer slowly for four and one.half
hours. If roasting more than three and I
one-half to four pounds of meat, cut it
INTO two parts, so that it will not take
10 long to cook Serve hot with brown
,nion or tomato parsley sauce.

NoN-pRoDUcTIvE OCCUPATIONS.
A Definition of What the Government
Means.

In the present emergency il is not pos
sble to extend the protection of deferred
classification to those regstrants en-
gagged in certain occupations or employ
ments which are nonproductive.
There is a great demand for labor in
all productive occupations and employ
ments, and especially in agriculture and
other necessary industries. Therefore,
registrants who have been given deferred
| classification and who can engage in
some productive occupation or employ
ment without substantial financial loss
or hardship to themselves or Others
should be willing to seek sope produc-
tive occupation or employment or enter
the military service rather than remain
in an occupation or employment in which
they are rendering no effective assistance
to the nation
If registrant is idle, he, of course, is
not occupied or employed at all, and his
status of idleness furnishes ground for
the withdrawal of his deferred classified
ton or late order number; and the regu
lations applicable to idle registrants
shall be deemed applicable also to gam
blers of all description and employees of
race tracks and bucket shops and to for
tune JelleTs, cihHNO5dHts, phltulsls anu
the like, who, for the purposes of these
regulations, shall be considered as idlers
The employment or engagement of any
able bodied registrant of military age in
any of the following occupations or EN-
pigments is not sufficiently effective, in |
the present emergency, to justify the
postponement of his call into military |
service, Notwithstanding he may have
late order number and notwithstanding !
he may have been placed in class 2, 3 or 4
on the ground of dependency; and all
registrants engaged as follows are to be
considered by local and district boards as
engaged in reproductive occupations or

Rheumatism May Come from Your
Teeth.

There is an article in the May Amer
lean Magazine which was written by s
man who was sick all his life till he dis
covered that, despite their apparent
soundness, all his teeth were decayed
and were the cause of his illness. He
says in this article;
"Crowns in my mouth were leaking
and secreting food that formed poisons
root canals, as the X-ray showed, had
been only partially filled, resulting in
assesses. There were at least six So
called blind assesses at the roots of my
teeth--called blind because their pres
ence was not indicated by an external
swelling and could be discovered only by
the X-ray. Yet any one of them was
draining sufficient poison into my blood
to corrupt my whole system.
at is not pleasant TO talk about, and
/ need not go into further detail. Suf
fee it to say that | had every crown
in my mouth removed, every dead tooth
opened up and retreated -four could not
be treated and had to be pulled, and
new work put in from start TO finish,
every bit of at checked and tested, as we
went along, by X-ray.
THAT was two years ago, almost, and

pleted until now | have never had the
slightest touch of rheumatism. l eat
more heartily, sleep better, and have
lar more vitality and joy in living than
sver before in my life"

When Debate Was Started in.
House of Commons
To-day

London, June 25-An important de.
bate was opened in the House of Com
mons to-day by Sir Edward Carson, the
Ulster leader, who, in accordance with
previous arrangement raised the whole
issue OF the governments policy in Ire
land with special reference TO the re-
cent proclamation of the lord lieuten
ant and the recruiting movement. IL
was expected that Edward Short would
make his first speech as chief of secre-
tary for Ireland and that Premier Lloyd
George would have an important declara-
tion regarding home rule and conserip-
ton
The Irish Nationalist did not return
to Westminster for the debate. John
Dillon, the Irish leader, declared Mon
day they would do so when the anti
CONSUMPTION conference in Dublin had
concluded its sittings and a favorable
moment arrived.
Several members favoring the estab-
lishment of federal governments within
the United Kingdom were notified to sub
NIT resolution for the creation of such
subordinate legislation, and the premier
will receive during the day a deputa
tion of members, representing all par
ties, who support this measure.

Europe's Empty Sugar Barrel7

When we were asked to save the
sugar" we nodded our heads and agreed
that sugar must be saved. Somebody
must save il; il was the job of the cook,
the baker, or the mother of the house.
II wasn't in our line.
Then came this word: Less sweet
drinks and candy containing sugar should
be used in wartime. As a nation we have
twice as much sugar as we need"
This made il more or less a personal
matter to each Of us, and it put upon us
a responsibility under which we squirmed
q bit. How can we satisfy our perfectly
normal craving for sweets, and still save
the sugar.
We can satisfy Il with candy. but not
with al kinds of candy: Just those which
contain a minimum amount Of sugar.
But is IL a real sacrifice to confne your
use Of confectionery to the sugar saving
varieties described belowf
Among them are the ohooolate-covered

DANGER IN DELAYING
FOOD CONTAINERS
Cooperation of Shippers and Manufac-
turers Needed to Prevent Losses
of Perishable Food
Products.

Shippers of perishabes and manufac-
turers Of containers should act immedi-
ately to prevent food losses this season
by providing crates, barrels, hampers
and baskets for perishable products in
time for the shipping season. the United
States department of agriculture ad-
vises. Manufacturers will be greatly
aided if shippers and growers will order
now instead of waiting until the ship
ping season begins in their locality. This
will prevent plants shutting down and
help to utilize every facility and worker
of the manufacturer.
The threatened shortage of containers
is general both in territory and in types
of packages Bear in mind, says the de.
partment, that perishable fruits and
vegetables marketed in containers are to
a large degree substituted for the staple
foods now being sent to feed our sol
diem, and the people Of the allies Per
ishables wasted here lessen the supply

POSSIBILITIES OF PEAT
As FUEL IN PLACES
Can Be Used Locally to Insure Against
Possible Shortage of
Coal

In view of the dangers of another Goa
shortage the director of the United
States geological survey calls attention
to the practicability of using peat as
fuel in some localities and offers some
suggestions as to the preparation, stor-
age, value and use of peat
The time is now ripe to prepare and
store peat fuel. Vast deposits of peat
that could be converted into fuel are
found throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, New York, and the New Eng
land states, and in the northern parts Of
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Pennsylva-
MIA and New Jersey, according to c. c.
Osbon of the United States geological
survey, department of the interior, who
has recently been studying this subject.
Many peat beds occur also on the At
lantic coastal plain from New Jersey to
southern Florida and westward along the
Gulf coast to the Mexican boundary.
This coastal plain is rather remote from
the known coal fields and contains few
other mineral fuels. The preparation
and storage in farming communities and
villages of peat fuel taken from these
deposits by the owners of small hogs
and by citizens associations for distri-
Dutlon among tDeH members WOuIu not
only increase the local supply and in
many localities prevent recurrence of
the suffering caused by our recent coal
shortage, but would release railroad cars
that will be vitality needed for other pur-
poses.
Fuel Value of Peat.
Peat, or muck, as this mineral Is fire. !
quently called, consists of partly de- |
cayed plant remains that contain enough /
carbon TO ignite and burn freely when /
dry. In texture it ranges from a fibrous, |
imperfectly decayed kind, through pro-
gressive degrees of decomposition, to a |
thoroughly disintegrated type, and var
ies correspondingly in color from light !
yellow to jet black.
Peat in an undrained bog contains
about 90 per cent of water. which must
be reduced to 80 per cent before it can
be used for fuel. By thoroughly drain
ing the deposit approximately 10 per
cent of the water in the peat may be
removed, but the remainder, which is
held in microscopic plant cells and min
ute intercellulsr spaces. can not be re-
duced below 20 per cent without drying
IN the open air or in heated chamber.

he applied for enlistment.

Artificial drying, however, requires so
much heat in comparison with that OBJ
tainable from the fuel prepared by this
process, that so far as the United States
geological survey is aware, it has not
proved commercially feasible.
The value of a given deposit of peat
as source of fuel is dependent on many
factors, most important of which are
degree of decomposition, heating value,
and ash content. Coarse -textured fbrous
peat makes fuel that is inferior to the
black, compact, thoroughly decomposcd
kind, unless that kind contains very
large proportion of ash. The maximum
quantity of ash that is usually consid-
cred allowable in peat for commercial
use has been placed between 20 and %
per cent, but if the content of ash ex-
ceeds 20 per cent of the total weight
of the dry peat it is scarcely worth the
labor of production, even for home use
The heating value and ash content of
peat fuel intended for domestic consump-
ton may be determined by a simple
practical test. A typical sample should
be taken from The bog, thoroughly ma
created, dried and weighed If, when
burned in an ordinary heating stove, the
heat generated is almost equal to that
produced by bituminous coal, and after
combustion the weight of the
ash does not exceed 20 per cent of the |
weight of the dry peat before burning,
it's fitness as domestic fuel is estab- !
lished

Method of Preparation.

The season for drying peat begins
about April Is, or as soon as the frost
is out of the ground, and ends in Sep
TENDER, except in the southern peat re-
gion, where it is somewhat longer. Pres
ent industrial conditions in the United
States prohibit the manufacture of large
capacity peat fuel machines for opera
tion this year, as such machinery, ON
account of the small demand in this
country, has to be specially designed
and constructed. II seems, therefore.
that peat intended for use next winter
will have to be prepared either by hand
or by existing machinery that can be
readily converted to use for producing
peat fuel.
The hand-eut process. for preparing
peat, which is widely used in Ireland,
seems most practicable for the owners
of small deposits in the United States.
Before this method can be used the
deposit must be thoroughly drained and
cleared, and the turf removed from its
surface. Most boys of the built-up type
that is, those which were formed by
the deposition of the remains of plants
that grow near the ground-water level
can be drained to the bottom by a sim
pie system of surface bitches. Lake
boys, in which the deposits has accumu-
lated below permanent water level can
not generally be drained far below the
surface Of the peat without mourning
great expense. and are therefore not so
well adapted to hand digging as built-up
beds. However, many lake boys in the |
northern peat region, where most of the /
marshes in which this mineral has &C
were formed during the Wis 1
'onsin OF last glacial stage, NAV be suf- /
icienily drained for peat recovery BY
