GOOD CORN OUT OF BOOZE

In response to the desire of the
Food Administration in it's efforts to
increase the available food supplies
of the nation, regulation was issued
by the Secretary of the Treasury, eff
fective January /, 1918, forbidding
the use of any but the lowest grade
of corn in making alcohol after Janu-
airy 1. The Secretary of the Treas
ury is in charge of the enforcement
of the provisions of the Food Control
Act, relating to the production of dis
titled spirits. The new regulation
prohibits the use of good grade corn
for alcohol of any sort. 1t reads as
follows:
On or after January 1, 1918, no
grain other than corn of a quality
inferior to the quality of Federal
Grade Number Six corn shall be
used in the production of distilled
spirits for any purpose whatsoever;
provided, however, that matted bar
ley or rye that is required for con-
version of the starch, may be used.
Any violation of this regulation
will subject the offender to the pen
atty provided by the statute, to-
wit: a fine not exceeding $4,000,
or Imprisonment for not more than
two years, or both.
1t is impossible to restrict the bar
ley and rye used in alcohol manufac-
ture to low grades, since this grain,
used in producing the malt required
in the making of alcohol, must be
sprouted for the purpose. Not more
than one-tenth of the bulk of grain
in alcohol manufacture is barley or
rye.

THE KAISER'S DREAM

There's rumor now current, though |
strange it may seem;
Of the German empercr's wonderful |
dream;
Being tired of war he lay down in
bed,
And 'mongst other things dremt he
was dead.
And in deep coffin, lying in state,
With his cold waxen features frozen
with hate,
He wasn't long dead when he found
to his cost,
That his map of the next world and
pass ports were lost
So leaving this earth to Heaven
went straight,
Jauntily strutting right up to the
gate.
But the lookout angel, in voice strong
and clear,
Said begone Kaiser W., we don't
want you here.
Well! thought Wilhelm, that's very
uncivil,
Does he mean 1 must go straight to
the devil?
So he turned on his heel, and off he
dld go,
Running full speed to the regions be-
low.
But when he got there he was filled
with dismay,
For whilst waiting outside he heard
Satan say to his imps,
"Now look here boys l give you all
warning,
I'm expecting the kaiser down in the
morning.
But don't let him in, for to me it is
clear,
We're far too good for the mongrel
down here.
If he gets in therell be the dickens
to pay,
For, bad as 1 am, he's much worse
any day."
"Oh, Satan, dear friend, the Emperor
cried;
Excuse me for listning, whilst wait.
ing outside;
If you can't let me in, where can
go?"
Indeed" said the devil, 81 really
don't know"
ooh, let me, Pm feeling quit cold
If money you want, I've plenty Of
gold,
Just give me corner, no matter
how hot"
"No," said the devil, most certainly
not.
We don't let apartments for riches
or pelf.
Here's some sulphur and matches;
make a hell of yourself"
: Then he kicked Wilhelm out, and
vanished in smoke. D..
And just at that moment the kaise,
awoke.
He jumped out of bed in shivering
sweat,
! And cried, "Gott, that dream ] shall
, never forget;
That l won't go to Heaven 1 know
very well,
) But it's awful tough luck to be
kicked out of hell"

A QUIET COURT
CONTINUED from page II

the school authorities to be the gem
eral truant officer for the county, and
he goes about endeavoring to bring
the strays back into the various
school rooms of TIE county, or finding
the reasons why they do not come. All
this and much more is done to insure
the future wellDeing of the citizen
ship of the county, quietly, without
ostentation, and at a minimum of ex-
pense to the county.
The fees collected by the Probate
office during 1917 and turned into the
county treasury amounted to $2,865,
and this amount came within a very
few dollars of paying the salaries of
the Probate Judge and his deputy
clerk, and all this work was done in
addition to the regular work of the
Probate Court.
Some idea of the work of the Pro-
bate Court may be gained by the
following figures: During the year
Is insane cases came before this court
for its action; 54 wills were probated
So administrators and 35 guardians
were appointed and their work direct
ed and reviewed. With the same office
help, this office has accomplished
double the amount of work that il
did IL years ago, and the fees of the
office, which II years ago amounted
to $1,000 in the year 1917, amounted
to $2,865, which in itself is evidence
that the volume of business in thi.
office is twice as large as it was il
1905; but in spite of all this, there i
always time in this office to look af
ter the best interests of the boys an
girls of the county, who are in need o
friendly help and guidance.

EMERGENCY RATIONs

The equipment of no soldier is COM
plete without emergency food rations.
United States troops are supplied
with three different parched maize
meal packets and three chocolates.
The former is revival of the maize
meal of the American Indians, on
which they could exist for days while
hunting or on the warpath.
The "chain-shot" ration furnished
Belgian, French and Teutonic soldiers
is a winter food of compressed meat.
There are more than a dozen varie-
ties of compressed teas used by the
Russian commissary Compressed rice
and macaroni is supplied Oriental
forces. Oat-bread in sausage form is
used by some of the North British
forces.
A curious ration is the compressed
fig coffee of the Central Powers,
which may either be utilized for food
as it is or converted into a coffee
like drink Smoke-dried pears are
used in the same armies. The Swiss
soldier receives an emergency ration
of white chocolate, made entirely of
cocoa-butter and sugar.
An Italian army chocolate is in
sausage-length form, while their plum
duff goes into a beef membrane.

CORPS OF ARMY NURSES

According to estimates based on an
army of 100000 men, 37,5OO nurses
will be needed. The present strength
of the Army Nurse Corps of the Med
ical Department is about $500. To
increase this number by nearly 1000
per cent in year is the task faced
by the corps.
Hospitals at Army camps and can
tonments still need nurses to bring
the quota for each up to the minimum
of 65 considered necessary, although
since the urgent need for nurses was
made public in December nearly 1000
requests for application blanks have
been received.
In order to get the enrollments up
to the needed number some of the
requirements heretofore imposed have
been waived. According to estimates
there are between $4,000 and 10000
registered nurses in the country and
about 100000 other graduate and prac-
tical nurses.

WORK IN CHEMISTRY

From the annual report of the Sec
retary of the Interior:
In this department we have dur
ing the past year had glimpse of
the expanding romance of chemical
study. We have found adventure
in the search for the hidden Sc
crets of petroleum, natural gas, and
coal tar, of coal smoke, and the
refuse from hundred furnaces and
smokestacks. We appear to have
suddenly driven into chemical age
or perhaps it would be more accu-
rate to say that we have suddenly
realized that we are in such an age.
New explosives, new fertilizers, new
sources of power, Of food, new ma
terials for construction and de-
struction, new preservatives of life,
and new agencies for the sweeten-
ing and wholesoming of life-these
are to to the credit of the modern
chemist, and as by-product of this
war we are to have a higher ap-
probation of this branch of science
and our genius for discovery which
has so greatly been applied to prob.
lens of mechanics will find in an.
alytic and synthetic chemistry &
field of opportunity subject to al
most infinite expansion.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarnalesS Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonnel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
Of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, ''dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

SHORTAGE OF SHIP CRAFTSMEN


Washington, D. c., Jan. 10, 1915
There are not enough ship craftsmen
in the United States to do the draft
ing work needed to carry out the ma
val and merchant Ship building pro-
grams. Our country is engaged in
the execution of the greatest warship
construction plan in history, compris-
ing 787 vessels, including all types
from super-dreadnoughts to submar-
inc chasers. Naval appropriations ag
gregating nearly two billions of dol
lars have been made since August,
1916.
Coincident with the demand for in
creased naval work there is an equally
urgent call for an increase of mer-
chant ship construction. 1t is betray-
ing no secret to say that in both
branches there is shortage of tech
nical men available for the work.
The United States Civil Service
Commission is endeavoring to relieve
the dearth of ship craftsmen by rec
ommending to the heads of colleges
and technical schools that senior stu
dents in engineering courses be given
intensive training in naval architec-
ture during the coming spring with
view to making them available fol
employment as ship craftsmen il
June. The Commission is also receiv.
ing applications from qualified archi
tectural, mechanical, and structural
steel craftsmen, and is certifying
them for employment in the Navy De
partment and in Navy yards on shil
work.

MATERIAL USED IN CON-
STRUCTION OF AIRPL LANES

No part of an airplane is subject
to greater strain than the landing
gear when the machine is brought to
earth. Because of this each piece of
the wooden material is made from
carefully selected spruce, reinforced
by binding. The metal joints are fur
ther strengthened by rubber windings
which also increase resiliency. All
parts are cut to air-stream shape to
decrease resistance.
In the construction of one airplane
of the more simple type 244 feet of
spruce, So feet of pine, 81 feet of ash,
and IL feet of hickory are used. The
list of material, exclusive of the en-
gine, also includes 3,262 feet of wire
1913 forgings, 921 steel stampings, 81
square feet of veneer, II gallons OF
-yarnish, SO gallons of "dope," POI
square yards of linen, "a feet of rub
ber, and 65 pounds of aluminium
Over 1000 nails are used, 3,377 screws
and 276 turnbuckles.

FEDERAL LOANS TO FARMERS

Up to December 1st, $29,824,65

loans approved, including those closed
and those awaiting verifcation of tt
tie and other formalities, is $1O5 1885,
529.
The interest rate under the farm
loan system has been increased from
5 to 518 per cent, to apply to all ap-
plications which have not yet been
approved.
Borrowing is done through cooper
ative farm loan associations organ
lied by farmers, each association be-
ing composed of 10 or more farmer
borrowers and each group borrowing
at least $4,000. Up to December 1
the farm loan board had chartered
1889 such cooperative associations.

of the Court, and there is nothing that
could be said, either by counsel or de-
fendant or any person, that could in
any way change the present circum-

PRICE VERSUS VALUE

R1SH GhO ~ ALO
Have you experienced the sensation
of having your tailor tell you how
much it would cost you to get new
overcoat like the old one you are wear
ing? Isn't it a grand and glorious
feeling to strut down the street with
a coat which would cost $40? 1t helps
lot when you can't buy a new one
anyhow. Isn't it pleasant sensation
to walk out on pair of $40 shoes?
They are the same kind which cost
SIS few years ago, but you were not
near as proud of them. Doesn't it
make you smile at the Englishman
who said, "You Americans know the
price of everything and the value of
nothing" He was dead wrong. We
don't even know the price of things.
Perhaps in the future we will pay
little more attention to values and
less to price. After the drunken way
our accustomed guide posts have de-
serted their usual sober PAGES and
reeled and swayed about to our utter
confusion.
Take fertilizers, for instance. A
so per cent increase in price since
last spring seems rather steep. Wher
you figure it out, however, most fer.
tilizers Except potash) are cheaper
now than they ever have been. Ferti,
lizer has no standard of value save its
ability to produce crops; therefore
it's value must be measured in terms
of crops and its price compared witt
crop prices.
In 1914 the usual corn fertilizer
without potash cost $24 per ton: A
the same time a bushel of corn wai
worth go cents, taking the countr!
over. A bushel of corn would bu!
so pounds of fertilizer. Today, th'
price of the same fertilizer is aroun'
$35 ton, while corn readily sells a
$130 bushel or more. A bushel o
corn will buy rs pounds of fertilizer
In comparative values fertilizers ar
actually cheaper than they were il
1914.

An English Publicist Expresses His Views of
the American Merchant
Marine

the Allies VINO otherwise would De starved.
That mercantile marine will continue after
the war aud will be available for use in
every quarter reached by Americas expand
ing trade. The real question is, therefore.
whether we shall be confronted by surplus
of tonnage and consequently by cutthroat
competition along the main routes Of the
ocean This situation would be the more
unfortunate because the ships on both sides
would be controlled in many instances not
by private individuals, but by governments
themselves, SO that the two entire nations
would be involved in the issue. Also alarm
may be created, however unreasonably. by
an appreciation in the United Kingdom of
Americas growing financial predominance.
| will give reasons why such fears should
be discounted
Apart from statistics it is surely obvious
that Great Britain with her long experience
of profitable navigation and her worldwide
imperial associations will always secure a
large slice Of international traffic The pro-
posed purchase of British tonnage now
owned by the International Mercantile Ma
rine shows that shipowners in Liverpool
and London regard such property as valu-
able asset. And no wonder. The worlds
