Private Hopkins, The Brave

THERE is inspiration in dispatch from American head
quarters in France announcing the citation Of American
officers and enlisted to receive the Croi de GuerIe Of
France and in the list is the name Of Pvt George A Hop
kins, Of Baltimore.
Pvt Hopkins seems to be fighter Of the old American
strain He is elderly soldier veteran Of the Spanish
American war and he has given not only himself to the
that IS just but also. His in France Ike
wise fighting the German. In the corps orders Pvt Hop
ins is cited model of bravery his citation reading:
"He vaEantly performed his duty during the German
assault He killed two Germans with his hand when
seven surrounded him and demanded his surrender"
The citation truthfuy might have gone to naTrate
that Pvt Hopkins having killed his two BOches, got away
from the other five escaped capture notwithstanding
that he lost leg a result of the encounter.
Pvt Hopkins Is done with the fighting. They not
using legged for combat purposes He has fought
good fight and defeated superior number though
ousy wounded and has had the honor Of being decorated
by famous French general accompanied by American
general He has done his part He is leaving behind him
IN France to carry for him and he has teen en-
rolled in the great host Of the battle Of the United
States.

But they speak IN d restful way
And the men IN the lonely graves sleep well,
Awaiting the Judgment Day

They lie IN the warning sun,
And those who pass that way don't know
The things that the dead have done
They can only gaze at the silent mounds
That the patient flowers attend.
And muse. as I've unused at a thousand mounds:
Do you rest well. my friend?'
FOR the world Is seeded with lonely graves.
And the harvest at Judgment Day

FATS-WHY SAVE THEM?

(By the Food Administration
Could you eat half a pound of raw
butter or relish a couple of tallo"
candles? Hardly. That is why you
pity the Arctic explorers who, you
have read. often do these very thing.
But they do not eat raw butter and
candles because they like the taste.
They need these raw fats TO supply
their bodies with heat and energy.
We could not live without fats, yet
we have been great MASTERS of them.
If this waste goes on We may see the
prices of all fats, from butter and ara
to grease %drippings, soar to the prices
of Injuries.
Our allies can barely get enough
fats to keep them going. Butter j.
very hard to get in Europe because
the feed for dairy herds is so scarce.
Last year we had to ship to our allies
three times as much butter as we did
before the war.
As the war goes or we must ship
them more and more.
Therefore, guard the fat supply in
your home. DO not cook with butter,
but do not deprive the children Of
butter on their bread. Dairy butter
has food value vital to children. Save
the grease d%rippings from the roast
ing pans. When you buy meats, don't
let the butcher trim off the fat. Do
it yourself when you bring it home
and utilize it. Use c~otton-seed oil,
peanut oil. or corn oil for cooking.
The hog supply Of Europe is de
creasing. Yet pork products are a
military necessity, and our soldiers
and allies must have an increased
amount of them.
While hogs in America have in
creased in number by 1900, 900 ami
mails, yet their average weight when
