RARE BIRD IN CLEVELAND.

The white robin which has made
his home for three years in the gar
den Of DR.. Matthias Boris of No.
1888 Logan court, N. H., has moved
over to a vacant lot on the other side
of Newton avenue, n. E., this year,
residents of Newton avenue, Cleye-
land, Ohio, reported.
Whether the worms gave out in
Doctor Boris yard or more grubs
were to be found across a little fur
Their on, no one in the neighborhood
has learned from Mr.. Robin.
White robins are unusual, but this
bird has red breast. white head,
gray belly and white wings. As an
example of camoufiaging, however,
the results are not good, for he is
far more conspicuous than other
birds.

FOOD SAVING
PROGRAM ISSUED
Frequent Changes Made Nee
essary BY Needs Of Allies
and Our Own People.

To clear up any confusion that may
exist In the minds Of housewives con
corning food conservation, the follow
ing definite program OF food saving is
issued by the Food Administration
with the explanation that frequent
changes are made necessary according
to the needs of the Allies and our own
people:
All kinds OF staple foods. especially
wheat. meats. fats and sugar should
be most economically used Use sub
stitutes for these four commodities.
No food should be boarded Hoard,
ing is the holding. contracting or ar
ranging for food by any person in er
cess OF his reasonable requirements
for use or consumption by himself and
dependents for reasonable time
This does not refer TO stocks OF home
grown vegetables aud home-canned or
preserved fruits.
All householders who can entirely
eliminate the use OF wheat until the
next harvest, about September LIST.
should do so.
Householders who are obliged to
use whea. should not use more than
total OF 1is pounds OF wheat flour
or prepared wheat, in any form. per
person per week, Including the wheat
flour In Victory Bread. and including
the wheat flour or prepared wheat In
crackers. pastry, macaroni. breakfast
and other foods.
Victory Bread Is bread manufac-
tured by bakers under the rules o,
the United States Food Administra
ton. In estimating flour consumption,
tx pounds OF Victory Bread may be
considered equal to ! pound OF wheat
flour.
In buying wheat flour an equal
weight OF other cereals as substitutes
for wheat flour must be bought pound
for pound. This is the $3.50 Rule. In
buying mixed flours. the substitutes
in them may be counted 30 that a
smaller proportion Of substitutes may
be bought with these flours than with
white flour In buying graham and
whole wheat flours containing not
less than $3.50 of the entire wheat
$40 pounds OF substitutes shall be
purchased with every pound of such

their new home, lovely grassy nest
which they had built in low bush.
Aud only short time after this Mr..
and Mrs. Indigo Bird seemed quite
nervous. They twitched and trem-
bied ana shook when they saw people
nearby.
"Cheep, cheep." they would say.
Then Mr.. Indigo Bird to make people
forget about Mrs Indigo would slowly
md carefully, flying little distance
at time, reach high branch or top
most part of shrub and there he
would sing. his very best song.
The song began bravely every time.
He sang at the top of his lungs. but
each time he sang the song. his voice
grew weaker and softer towards the
end-just as though he had lost all
interest In the song.
But then he would begin again, sing
ing Justify once more, and still another
time the same thing would happen.
For this is the way Mr. Indigo Bird
has Of singlngl But still this time he
had great secret, and Mrs. Indigo
Bird had one too.
Back In the grassy nest were little
blue and white eggs, such precious
little eggsl Soon they would become
dear little Indigo Bindings and how
happy and excited Mr.. and Mrs In
digo Bird were. The little birdllngs
would soon come into the world. then
they would learn TO fly, after that they
would learn to hunt for food-and Ia
ter on they too would guard other lit
tie nests of blue and white eggs.
So Mrs. indigo Bird dreamed on
through the months as She looked at
the little eggs. And so Mr. Indigo
Bird thought as he sang so brayely
10 oil the world.
II was all he could do to keep from
singing. "Cheep, cheep. the little bird
lings,. the little blrdllngs" But Of
COURSE he was too wise daddy to do
that Only that was the little song
which was singing in his heart. ann
his tiny breast fiuttered and beat rs
he thought of those tiny eggs and of
all the JOY they would mean to him
self and Mrs. Indigo.
Soon the blrdllngs came out Of the
eggs, and Mrs Indigo whispered to
her mate, aren't they beautiful? Do
/ you wonder l wear old clothes? And
whit do.the gossips know For Mrs.
Indigo likes Ter dull brown feathers
for she can't be seen by cruel people
who hunt for the eggs of little birds

CANNED CHEESE.

An interesting development Of
the past two or three years has been
canned cheese capable Of being kept
indefinitely without deterioration.
Considerable difficulty was found
formerly in packing cheddar cheese.
By a new process, says the New
York Produce Review, canned ster-
ilized cheese is now packed for ship
ment to all parts of the world and
is largely used by the government.

ITS TWENTY-flFTH BIRTHDAY
clnematoeraph Industry May Be Said
TO Be Celebrating That Event
This Year.

II is rs years ago-that the cine
matograph industry received an i'm
petus from which lis present world
wide prosperity may be said to have
sprung, for Edison's famous exhi-
bition Of his kaleidoscope at the OPEN
ing Of the worlds fair, Chicago,
demonstrated such an advance in
the presentation of Giving pictures, .
as they were called. that it was eyi-
dent that important developments
would follow.
The inventor Of the celluloid roll
film three years before perhaps rem
dered Edison's task less difficult, and
the employment of film Of $50
feet in length greatly impressed
those present at the initial display.
The views were said to be jerky and
somewhat indistinct, but neverthe-
less were regarded as a wonderful
achievement.
Improvements speedily followed,
the results OF which are not only en-
ioyed now by millions of people ev-
cry week the world over, but have
fostered an industry providing reg
ular employment for thousands Of
people.

PUBLISHER IN HARD LUCK
Caught Between Two Fires When the
Conservation Edlet First
Went Into Effect.

A Philadelphia publisher found
some time ago, when the four-con-
serving edict went into effect, that
be had en- hand Is barrels of -four.
He had obtained it, Of course, to use
in tiour-paste for his bindings.
lie wrote letter to the authori-
ties telling them of his stock, of
which he was forbidden to dispose
without a license, and asking what
he should do with it.
Months passed and no word came.
The other day he was startled by
being served with a notice Of GRIM
inal action brought against him for
boarding -four.
"What was to do with the
fourf" he asked of the young attor-
ney who had brought him to book.
"You should have sold it back to
the man you bought it from"
"But he was out Of business"
The man OF law was nonplused
and could offer no further sugges-
ton. An attempt is now being made
to find out the name of the Dealers
successor in order to return the flour
10 him.
The publisher, at any rate, is
thanking his lucky stars that he is
not in jail.
