BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
 Meat Supply.
American Stock RaIsers Cooperate With Food Administration In Con-
 servation Measures.

It is probable that Europe for many years after the war will look to { great extent to America for Its meal supply.
 Europes herds are dwindling under wars demands faster than they can be replenished
 When the German armies retired from occupied portions of France and Belgium approximately 1,800,O00 head of cattle were appropriated. This ad' dition virtually safeguarded Germany from cattle shortage other nations now suffer.
 In England some 2,4OO.OO0 acres of grass lands have by compulsory meas ures been forced into grain production, thus reducing pasturage and hay lands. A declining scale of maximum meat prices for live cattle was ordained in England, as follows: For September, $1776 per hundred pounds; October, $172S; November and December, s16OS, and for January, $1440. The evident intent of this measure was to drive the beef animals into market as soon as possible.
 According to official French figures, the cattle of France have decreased to a total of 12,941 900 as compared with 14,S070O0 in 1913. Today, due to lack of forage principally, France is pro- ducing only one gallon of milk where before the war two and one-half gal Ions were produced.
 Meantime the United States food ad- ministration has taken steps to con- serve our flocks and herds and to in- crease their numbers. The stock breed CTS of this country show a disposition to cooperate with the government in this.
 For many years 1t has been a prac- tice among many of the dairy people of this country to kill male calves at birth and in many instances the fe- males if not needed to replenish their herds rather than go to the expense of maturing them into veal. The high prices of meat caused the virtual dis continuance of this killing. Another encouraging fact Is 75 per cent. of calves killed for veal this year were males.
 Somebody has very aptly said that the wars of the world have been won with grease, meaning that bacon and lard have been as essential to success in war as powder, which Is true.
 The hogs of Europe have been very greatly sacrificed to present day needs. This makes the American burden all the more heavy and makes doubly es- sential an increased pork production in this nation. In Italy grain is now forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den mark under a recent order one-fourth of the hogs were ordered to be killed It is estimated that one-half have now been killed.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
 FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid- cred any plan of seizing foodstuffs owned by householders. Nor is there any policy of this kind suggested for the future.
 In spite of this fact, the United States food administration has been obliged repeatedly to issue official de- nials of rumors that the government intends communicating preserves and canned goods put up in American homes.
 These rumors were originated partly by pro-German propagandists and part ly by conscienceless grafters, who sought to profit through buying from misinformed housewives.
 The year 1918 will see home canning and preserving practiced on greater scale than ever before in the nations history, officials in Washington believe And they are assuring all patriotic housewives that foods so saved are theirs, and theirs alone.

Removes Paint odor.

To remove paint odor from a refrig- orator burn a pan of charcoal for all of one day. Swash Ice cold water freshly through it that evening, and at night set four or five pans of iced wa ter upon the shelves and shut the doors. The volatile particles arising from the paint cause the odor. When precipitated into the water they can not rise again.

NUTRITIOUS CORN BREAD.

One New York hotel has arranged a thoroughly patriotic corn bread recipe It combines cornmeal with rye flour, both of which are being con sumed in greater quantities this year in order to release wheat flour for the allied nations. This recipe fills g large pan-16 by 22 inches-and con. tains the following ingredients: One quart milk, four ounces butter substi ute, ten ounces light syrup or honey three eggs, pinch salt, two pounds cornmeal, one pound rye four and two ounces baking powder.
 The butter and syrup are thorough. ly mixed. Then add the eggs gradual. ly, pour in the milk, then add the rye flour mixed with the cornmeal and baking powder. Bake in hot oven.

The Greatest Quality.

The Christmas message tells us of
Gods fatherhood. 1t is no cold heart
that waits us when we turn to graft
tude and prayer. God has always
loved us; he loves us still. Every true
Christmas thought and gift is an ex-
preston of that divine love which has
made our own love possible. Every
claim upon our mercy and our gener-
osity is Call to become like Christ.
All the enduring qualities of the hu-
man spirit were present at the man.

he had suddenly appeared in Briefly
with the blue racing car. Soon it was
rumored that he had made fortune
in the mines.
The second week after his return
Stanwood bought the old Blain man-
sion and gave the information that he
intended to move into his new home
before Christmas. Next he announced
that preparations were under way for
n party which he was giving Christ

The evergreen girl had been sur
prised and a little bit hurt because
Dane had not even called. She had
thought 1t strange. too, at first. that
she did not receive an invitation to
the party, for she knew nearly every
one in Briefly was going.
But when Ruth was told the party
was to be given in honor of StanwOod's
f1ancee, she understood why she had
not been invited.
'"That is why Helen Stanwood didn't
mention the party when she ordered
these wreaths." Ruth thought, MS she

they will have to hurry If they hang

The evergreen girl was so busy get
ting the Stanwood order ready that she
did not notice that the blue roadster
had returned and stopped by the gate.
Neither did she observe the broad
shOuldered young man who was striding
up the path. The bell jingled merrily.
There's Helen now, after the
wreaths," Ruth thought. and she ran
to the door. Dane was standing In the
porch.
"Why, Dane" she exclaimed. draw

down at the girl. ''rhis is the ever

'Yes," said Ruth. forcing a smile in
return.
''And you are the evergreen girl?"

answered.

Keeping Workers Amused

1.-THE greatest problem with workers II
keeping them amused" says ]. II. Connor. who ID
in charge Of the welfare work at the United
States Explosives Plant &c" at Nitro. w. Va. "For
unless the workers are able to find entertainments
they won't work.
..At the present time there are $4,000 workmen
at Nitro and 1t is planned to increase that number
to 10000. But despite the high wages 1t is diff
cult to keep the 5000 there. Wages are almost
unbeevably high. For example: Office boys are
started at SIS month; stenographers at $50.
and I have seen the weekly pay envelopes OF
many carpenters with more than 500. inside.
However, 1t is an actual fact that 20 per cent of
the workmen who are transported there at the
expense of the government disappear en- route
and more than so per cent of those who arrive do
not stay more than two three days.
you see, Nitro is new town abOut twelve
miles from Charlestown, W. Va. It's In dry sec
tion of the country with absolutely nothing to at
tract workers except high wages. And as soou
as the majority of workers save a bank roll they
depart for pleasanter and wetter clmes.
''Thats why welfare department has been es-
tabshed at this plant, where million pounds OF
powder will be manufactured daily when every
thing 10 in operation. 1t was found that unless
the men were amused when they finished their
work they simply wouldn't remain-no matter
what wages were paid.
"of course we do all the welfare work that is
being done in the most modern plants. We have
various kinds Of hospitals free medical attention
and all that sort of thing We even fill the teeth
of the workmen free of charge. Houses are be-
ing built SO that the workmen may bring their
families and there is everything for their crea-
ture comforts, but that isn't enough. The work.

door OF the ThomaS cot
tage which bore the
iegend, "The Evergreen Shop"
Every year during the Christmas
season Ruth Thomas made hundreds
of evergreen wreaths. which she sold
for Christmas decorations.
This was why the people of Briefly
called her the evergreen girl.
The day before Christmas Ruth sat
in her little shop finishing the last
wreath she would make that season.
'Therel" she said. deftly twisting n
sprig OF bright red berries among the
evergreen stems, "that finishes Helen
Stanwood's order, and thank goodness
it's done in time. oh. dear !" she sighed,
laying the wreath aside. II do wish
could spend one Christmas time en-
joying myself as others do. Why. there
has not been anyone here over the holi-
days since can remember, and have
not been to Christmas party in years
NOT since the time / went over to
Dolly Blair's with Dane"
A warm color suddenly glowed in the
girls cheeks and there was Il soft light
in her brown eyes as she thought of
that memorable night.
Dane Stanwood had taken her to
that party. Once during the evening
he caught her as she was standing
under the mistletoe bOugh, and
The sudden roar of n high-power auto
mobile broke in upon Ruth's musings,
and she looked out in time to see
long blue roadster flash past the gate.
The car belonged to Dane Stanwood.
Shortly nfter the Christmas party at
Dolly Blair's Dane had gone West to
become mining engineer. He had
written u few times to Ruth and then
the letters had stopped coming, and
she had not heard from him for nearly
four years. Then, just month ago,
