SPLENDID TALKS.

Mr.. c. MetcaIf of PIattevilIe, Wis,
who recently came to America from
Germany, where he had resided for
period Of IS years, was in our city
the past week, and addressed the bu-
siness men of this city at the EIks'
Club, Wednesday noon. He address

tional church in the evening. At both
places, he had large and interested
audiences. He left Germany on the
second day of October, last, and reach
ed this country the forepart of No

being a public speaker, but proved
himself to be an interesting taIker.
He reviewed the conditions of the war
from its beginning to the present time.
from the German standpoint. His re
port Of the conditions there when he
left, were pretty serious. as far as the
necessities of life were concerned, but
said that the common people had per-
feet confidence in the Kaiser and the
government. It was his opinion that
the Germans would have to be whip
ped, before they would comply with
the war demands of the allied forces.
He was further, of the opinion that it
would take at least year more, to
subdue them, judging from the past.
His account of the details of the ev-
cry day transactions Of the German
life, was very interesting. The pres
ent menu of the common people is very
plain, very little tea, coffee, sugar,
or milk, as the prices are so high
that these things are prohibitive to
the common people. To purchase any
wearing material or clothing, you must
give an inventory Of what you already
have, and if you have one good outfit
they will not sell you a second one.
The living conditions are very t@yiEG.

hero and nothing less. We meet
them every day. Such they are, and
doubtless will continue to be as long
as there is home worthy Of pro-
lection, a child worthy Of care, and
a woman worthy of love.
And now, little woman, a word
with you. IF some manly man has
chosen you to reign queen in his heart
and home, know that in that capacity
you fill the most sacred, the most hon
orable position in which woman can
aspire. In it you appear in your

"To be able to reinforce your husband

children for positions of usefulness
is work worthy of your most care

Of the most important Of these is get

of his own in his early teens or be-
fore. Not only should the lad be en-
couraged to put most of the money
he earns on deposit in such an ac-
count, but it will help to still further

GARBAGE CANS.

The garbage cans that are furnish
ed to the citizens of Grand Rapids at
$2.75 piece are very convenient for
garbage purposes, and ashes where
you have small quantities. The ca
pacity Of these cans is about fifteen
gallons and the city teamster calls,
in the residence part of the city, and
dumps them twice a week. Those
who have been using them speak very
highly of them, and the service is very
satisfactory. The only objection that
we have heard is, that, they are not
adequate to take care of the ashes
from the larger furnaces. A large
number of these cans have been sold
and distributed about the city. still
there are many more, who ought to
have them. Are you using one. and
what do you think about it? Do they
serve the purpose, for which they are
intended?

0NTHEPOTAT()
SITUATION

| Washington, D. C.-The potato
marketing situation at this moment
appears to be serious according to a
statement just issued by the U. S. De
oartment of Agriculture. The total
production in 1917 is estimated to have
been 442 $4,000 bushels, or the larg-
est crop ever produced in the United
States. Notwithstanding this fact,
prices from the time Of digging to the
present have ruled higher than in any
previous year Of which we have record
with the exception Of last year when
She crop was abnormally short.
The Department of Agriculture has
been able to compute the movement Of
the present crop with more accuracy
5han has ever been possible before and
from all the information available it
appears that not more than one-third
of the marketable surplus of the crop
5f 1917 has been moved up to Deem
er 81. In other words, there remained

RESTRICT RENDERING WORK
State Board OF Health VIII Make New
Rules Regarding Location of
Plants and Their Methods
of Operation.

Madison, Jan. pa set of rules to
be followed in the building and opera
ton of rendering plants will be fCrmu-
lated by the state board of health. and
action on its adoption will be taken at
the boards next meeting. In fixing
these requirements the board will be
aided by E. J. Tully, sanitary engineer
on its staff. The last legislature
passed a law giving the board author
ity to adopt such rules, which, when
officially promulgated, shall have the
effect Of law. The board at its recent
meeting considered the following Sug-
geStiOnS relative to minimum require
ments for rendering plants: That new
rendering plants must be located in
an isolated and geographically suitable
spot, with gravel or sand formation to
permit liquid waste to be disposed of
by natural filtration to eliminate
stream pollution. That ground dis
pOSal Of the gases be obtained by dis
solving flowing waste by means of wa
ter connections. That the building be
of adequate capacity, with concrete
floor and smooth walls and ceiling, to
permit easy cleaning. That all opera
tons be conducted within one build
ing, and the walls and floor, if spat-
tered, to be washed after each opera
zion. Cleanliness is regarded as i'm
Derative. That such marketable
products and hy-products shall be
stored in a covered concrete bin, COW
cred with lime to mask odors, inhibit
bacterial action and eliminate flies.
That the apparatus, floors and walls
shall be maintained in 4 clean cOndi-
ton and in good repair.
