GOTHAM CONSERVATION

Probably the last place in which one would look for successful campaign of food economy, says the Worlds Work, is in the hotel district of New York city, Yet these headquarters of extravaganza, according to the food administration, are furnishing ex- anples to all the homes and restaurants ir the country. Should all the hotels and res taurants follow the example of New York's gilded palaces, they could furnish several ship loads of wheat and meat a week to our own armies and our allies.
 Many weary frequenter at hotels has wondered precisely what these wheatless and meatless days have been accomplishing. The experience of these great New York estab- liShments' furnishes the answer. They are saving thousand tons of wheat and a thou sand tons of meat every seven days. Just take the latter item, which amounts to 2,OOO,- OCO pounds. At the rate of pound of meat day per soldier, the small privations to which the gay New York public subjects it. self are furnishing the meat ration for two days per week to an army of a million sol diers-the number which we hope to have in France next summer. At the same time these same reckless and expensive eaters are saving two million pounds of wheat week. At the time these statistics were compiled, reports from only the largest New York hotels had been received; enough information had been obtained, however, to show the great success of wheatless and meatless days, as we'll as of the generally careful policy that obtains in the conserving of foods.

FAIRFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
 SEEKING FUNDS
Canvass Being Made Today to Provide Additional
 Equipment for Town.

Members of the Civic association of Fairfield are at work in that town to- day canvassing the citizens for sub scriptions to give Fairfield an ade quate fire department with sufficient equipment to meet the needs of the town. The solicitors, and the only ones authorized, are W. H. Gould, W. o. Burr, c. E. Saunders, J. I. Flint, S. c. Bradley, R. E. Randall, E. L.. Tarlton, William Schmidt, Robert Dal- ling, Bacon Wakeman, George Mar vel, Fred Marberg, W. H. Donaldson, and Chief Carroll.
 Heretofore Fairfield has been pro- tected by a volunteer company which has largely raised its own equipment and provided funds for it's mainte- nance. These funds came through subscriptions and as a, result of en- tertainments. The fire companies have done excellent work and have saved many thousands of dollars from destruction by fire.
 New, however, it realized that the rapid growth of some sections of the town renders something better in the line of equipment necessary, and the present campaign is to provide this increase. It is planned to engage a man to be continuously on duty to respond to alarms and keep the ap- paratus in order, and there is need for new hose and other equipment. The Civic association has taken the matter up, and the canvass started today is a. result of its action. It is hoped, the citizens will respond lib- Ierally.

LIEUT.. ROOSEVELT DOWNS HIS FIRST
 GERMAN PLANE

With the American Army in France, July II - Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of Col Roosevelt, brought down his first German airplane yesterday afternoon in fight north Chateau Thierry.
 Lieut.. Roosevelt, with three other pilots, was flying at a height of 5000 yards eight miles inside of the Ger man lines when the machines became separated. Soon after Roosevelt saw three planes which he thought were his companions and started to join them. He was closely approaching the machines from the rear when he saw his mistake, for the plane were German. Rooevelt immediately open ed fire, and after 50 shot tracers penetrated the fusilage of the nearest German machine and it went into a spinning nose dive, falling through the clouds 2,000 yards below.
 The lieutenant is certain 1t must have crashed for no pilot voluntarily goes into 2,000 yard spinning nose dive. The two remaining German airplanes attacked Roosevelt, but he managed to make good his escape and returned to the field, himself and his machine unscratched.
 American pursuit planes flying in squadron formation penetrated Ger man occupied territory north of Cha teau Thierry for a distance of 50 miles yesterday and chasedS several German machines which they encountered. The Americans obtained considerable information, and observed the pre- parations being made by the enemy. They flew over many newly construct ed German flying fields, including one believed to be occupied by the fa- nous Richtofen Flying Circus. The planes were at height of 5000 yards in a course of a great part of thr flight All the Americans returned safely.
 Lieut.. James A. Meissner of Brook lyn won his fifth aerial victory, there- by becoming an ace. by bringing down in company with Lieut.. Hamil- ton Coolidge of Boston an enemy two- seated airplane over Chateau Thierry The German machine fell in flames
 Coolidge attacked the German first Meissner then took up the fight and got in 8 lucky stream of bullets, the enemy plane bursting into flames and plunging to earth. The fight took place several days ago and the victory has been officially confirmed.

INVENTION HELPS
 FLYER TO AIM
Attacks on German Lines and Cities Will Be More
 Accurate.

Washington, July 11-American in genuicy apparently has overcome three more problems with which the Allies have been struggling since the beginning of the war. As a result of the perfection of three new airplane devices the aviation forces will be far more effective than in the past. The devices have been accepted by the War Department.
 The first and probably most import ant of these devices Is one for aiming bombs with a considerable degree of accuracy. The cry for sending swarms of bombing airplanes over the Ger man army and into Germany as a quick means of ending the war, has been well nigh impossible of achieve ment because of the defences against l bombing planes and the fact that in order to carry out bombing operations the planes, to protect themselves, have accurate dropping of bombs has been impossible. Flying at height suf- hcient to protect a bombing plane out of range of anti-aifcraft guns the targets for flying bombers are all
 most infinitesimal. That has been the principal reason for lack of accuracy in dropping high explosives into and ! behind the German lines and on Ger man cities.
 The problem of dropping a bomb from a speeding airplane accurately has been necessarily a question of in- dividual judgment of the f1ier. The bombs, of course, do not drop in a straight line.

AIR MOTORS HEARD AS GINO REQUIEM
Birdmen Shower Flowers on Dead Aviator's Coffin
 on Way to Grave.

New York, July 11-With the Whtr- ring motors of dozen airplanes chant ing a requiem, the body of Sergeant Gino Gianfelice, noted Italian avia- tor whose life was snuffed out at the army flying field at Hampstead, l.. l., Sunday, was laid in it's temeporary |, burial place in 6 vault at Greenfield Cemetery, Hampstead, yesterday. Ike march to the cemetery followed an impressive funeral service at the Church of Our Lady of Loretto, where 200 flying cadets-many of them birdmen to whom the dead aviator taught dangerous tricks of the air American, British, French and Ital- ian army officers united in paying their last silent tribute to the mem ory of the daring flier.
 As the long procession of coaches started behind the hearse from the church toward the cemetery the pro- pellers of the airplanes were set in motion at the flying field upon the signal conveyed by the tolling of the church bell at the conclusion of the mass and other ceremonies. In an- other moment the fliers were mount ing toward the clouds and quickly fell AAlIO AlA4C uIl SClly dbONS lH6 udEh OuI- line of the cortege. From that van tage point the aviators bombarded the hearse and coaches with floral wreaths and loose roses.
 When the cemetery was reached the air squadron circled and dipped above the chapel. As the coffin was withdrawn from the hearse and plac- ed for the last time upon the shoul- ders of the pall-bearers another flor al bombardment was begun and kept up until the last person in the fun eral part had passed inside the doors of the chapel. Then the avfators flew back to the training field.
 The services at the chapel were un- usually simple, but were marked by an impassioned eulogy of the dead aviator by Giuseppe Bevione, chief of the Italian Aeronautic Mission; who spoke admiringly of the spectacular demonstration of the big Caproni ma chine Sergeant Gino made a few min utes before he was plunged to death in a nose dive with much smaller aircraft.

ISSUES BULLETIN
 ON CARE OF MILK

The conservation of milk is to be one of the principal activities of the Board of Health. Miss Madeline Blk by, acting director of the laboratory division, has issued bulletin in re- gard to the conservation of milk, She especially warns the public against keeping milk Iii a warm place, as nothing will so soon cause it to be filled with bacteria. She also says.
 ''The United States Department of Agriculture Is making a campaign to save the waste of milk by souring. They recommend the following rules for the proper care and cooling of milk:
 Ice should always be used when possible. This is not extravagant when it is remembered that 10 gal Ions of spoiled milk cost more than half a ton of ice.
 When ice cannot be obtained, use the coldest water possible. That from a spring or well is best. Use a cool ing tank"

GRANDMOTHER WAS
 THE DRUGGIST

In the early days of our country grandmother was the druggist, and her drugs consisted mostly of roots and herbs gathered from the fields and forests. There was peppermint for indigestion, mullen for coughs, skullcap for nervousness, thorough wort for colds, wormwood for bruises and sprains and so on. They were successful remedies. too. It was from combination of such roots and herbs that Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, more than 40 years ago, originated her now famous Vegetable Compound; and during all these long years no other remedy has ever been discovered to restore health to ailing women so successfully as this good old-fashioned root and herb medi cine.-Adv.

Similarly the more numerous the
