necessary to furnish TO ourselves and
our allies 100,000,OOo more tons of Goa.
than the country normally produces.
Not more than half of that demand can
be met by increase of production. In
the circumstances, however, a shovel
full or a ton of coal saved is as good as
a ShoVelful or a ton mined; therefore
the duty, indeed the necessity. is
squareiy before the people to save that
other 50,0O0,O00 tons. Upon the saving
depends in part the winning of the war
In the homes of the country much
can be done in the task of saving 50,
100000 tons of coal. If every houses
holder in the land would save one small
shovelful of coal per day, the saving
for the year would amount to 15,000,00C
tons, or almost one-third of the whole
amount. If every householder would

Better Health In England.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
Although the people of England are
doing vastly more ~work and on the
whole better work per capita than they
ever have done before, at least under
the factory system of production, the
amount of sickness has been steadily
reduced from the beginning of the war
the number of days lost from produc.
the efforts has persistently diminished
the product per capita has increased
almost unbelieyably. Finally, the state
ment that the average physical condi-
ton of British men, women and chill
dren has vastly improved IS confirmed
by the most casual observations of the
people as they are seen day hy day.
The whole explanation may be giveI
in two words: Better wages. which
means improved food conditions, at
least sufficient money to buy the food
necessary to sustain the physical body.
The average physique of the British
people had been observed for a long
time to be seriously deterioraling. In
1914 the average cost for all women
getting the benefits of the national in
surance fund was cents a week. In
1915 it fell to cents. in 1915 to cents,
and although the figures for 1917 have
not been made up it is certain that
there has been another important de.
crease.

The Reversal in Kentucky.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Three of the ii states holding legislative
sessions this winter, namely, Mississippi.
Virginia and Kentucky, have now ratified
the federal constitutional prohibition
amendment. There is no doubt that all
the southern states, true to their record
IN recent years, will swing into line as
opportunity comes to them. How many
of them will precede the firnt of the north
ern states in ratification will depend
greatly or the disposition Of the northern
states in which legislatures are now IN
session to press or obstruct action. Massa-
chusetts had a chance to lead all the
states and allowed it to slip: it has now a
chance to lead all the northern states.
and the question is. Will this also be per-
,nitted to slip? II the Bay state waits un-
til the only chance remaining is that OF
leading all New England, it Is likely to
be left out Of leadership altogether. for
Maine will have its opportunity, and viii
certainly use 1t. next year.
Greatly to the chagrin Of thousands OF
people Kentucky has long been identified
with the liquor interests. The distilleries
of Bourbon. Henderson and some other of
its counties, have been responsible for
this. For years after the prohibition
movement had taken root in the south.
the possibility of Kentucky joining-it was
pooh poohed within and without the
states borders To predict that Kentucky
would some day be found in the prohibi-
ton column was to provoke scornful
laughter in any miscellaneous gathering.
What! Kentucky give up her immensely
valuable liquor Industry Certainly not.
sah!' Colonel Watterson, credited
throughout the world as the highest posi-
bic authority on everything Kentuckian,
said that prohibition in his state was an
impossbility. And now see what has been
done,

MARS Hal J0F Re HAS
ABILITY AS AUTHOR

Paris. (By mail ) Marshal Joffre'.
letter to the secretary of the French
academy officially announcing his can.
didacy to the seat OF the late julie:
Claretie has caused much favorable
comment here, but the impression APP
pears to have gone abroad that tho
victor of the Marine will join the. 4c
immortals on his military and not his
literary record.
The letter itself is brief 1t reads
"Mr. Secretary:
II have the honor to inform you that
am candidate to the French acad
envy to the seat of Mr.. Jules Claretie, y
Please do accept Mr.. Secretary. the
expression of my distinguished senti.
ments.
..Joffre.'
The military reputation of Frances
only marshal overshadOws his literary
one to such an extent that, while the
French are fully convinced that. no
honor in the world of letters or in any
other art is too great for the popular
hero they wish to be made better
acquainted with his works.
The list of them is not long and the
volumes are not bulky. Indeed, the
most famous writing that came from
the pen of Joffre is so short that 1t can
be reproduced here in full. 1t was writ
ten On the fOLn Oh september X Sl4 on
the eve Of the Battle of the Marine and
reads:
AT this moment when a battle is
about to commence upon the result Of
which the salvation of our country de-.
ponds, no one must look behind; all
enemy. Any troop finding itself unable
to advance further must hold the
ground at all cost and must fight un-
til death. No retreat"
Sometime ago friends of Marshal Jof-
fire urged him to enter the academy.
Their persistence was such that he fin
ally wrote letter to the director of the
institution stating that, upon the ad y
vice Of his friends, he had decided to
place his name before that body for ad :
mission. The rules of the academy gov
erning applications for admittance are
to the effect that an official request,
naming the seat to which the applicant
aspires, must be made to the secretary.
Marshal Joffre's high personality did
not save him from the formality and
thus the official request was made.
The entrance of Marshal Joffres in
the academy will not create a prece-
dent as far as the admittance OF mill
tary men to the select circle is con-
cerned. Six marshais of France have
already been recorded as members.
They We're Villars, Distress the Duke
| of Richelieu, Belief Isle, Beauvau and
Duras.
1t is an error, however, to think that
Marshal Joffre will receive the green
palms of the immortals without ever
having written anything. In 1896 there
was published in Paris a 75-page vol
urne entitled: THE Operations of the
Joffre Column Before and After the
Occupation of Timbouctou.'' 1t was
signed j. Joffre, Lieutenant Colonel.
| Marshal Joffre also wrote work on
| Madagascar, but the edition became ex-
| hausted and no copy Of it can be found
j at present. And perhaps. some day, the
victor of the Marine may be induced to
| write his "reminiscences.

Market Ostrich Eggs and Skins.

p q ~ E
From United States Commerce Reports.
Since the slump in the ostrich feather
market occurred in 1914 making 1t unprof
table to raise ostriches for their feathers
alone. schemes have been devised in-South
AFRICA to minimize the losses to ostrich
farmers, many Of whom had no other
capital than their nocks Of these giant
birds.
The eggs of the ostrich have long been
staple product on the market of Port
Elizabeth. South Africa, and other ostrich
centerS, and have been mixed with hens
1 sggs by bakers in the manufacture Of
sakes and pastry. Lately two sealed cans,
each containing 20 ostrich eggs in liquid
FORM, have been shipped to London as an
experiment. The results are awaited with
interest. In large quantities, ostrich eggs
packed for railage are quoted at Port
Elizabeth at IA to Is cents each. One of
these eggs weighs between TWO and three
pounds, and is equivalent to about two
dozen hens eggs.
/ Early in 1917 an ostrich skin was tanned
here and sent to the South African trades
commissioner in England, who submitted
! It TO an expert tanner of fancy feathers.
He stated i'll his report
The most likely purpose we could
suggest Tor such a product would be
dressing case work. The unusual APP
pearance on the exterior of travelling
Digs would attract class of buyers
| who like their luggage to have dis
tinctive. appearance. Black would
hardly be a suitable color. A suitable
shade OF green would oe better for the
purpose indicated, or some of the art
shades or saddle brown. such as are
sent to London for less aggressive pur-
/ chascrs.
Furniture covering is another use to
which they could be put. The small
| pieces could then be used for pocket
books, tobacco pouches, etc.
In all this type of trade it is just
| question of Introducing a fashion. The
! skins advisably should be tanned in
| this country, tastefuily with that OBJ
| jective in view.
Perhaps after the war is over Ameri-
/ can tanners also would be interested in
| ostrich leather; but, on the other hand,
| ostrich feathers may come back into
l their own, and ostrich skins be kept
| alive to produce feathers.
