PAYS WELL TO STRAIN HONEY
Department Of Agriculture Urges an
Bee Keepers to Practice
Conservation.

Bee keepers are urged by Kenneth
Hawkins, bee specialist OF the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
to produce more honey in the ez.
trocted or strained form, instead OF
as comb honey. Investigations OF
honey produced in Florida show that
too many bee keepers now Market
honey in the comb, which lowers the
productive capacity of bees. The en-
ergy required in making 70 pounos
of honey is consumed in making one
pound of beeswa1, and in selling
comb honey this beeswa1 is lost
Where honey is extracted from the
comb by uncapping cells and whirl-
ing the comb in a centrifugal ma
chine, the comb is left intact and
can be put back into the hive to be
reflled with honey by the bees, saw
ing them the labor of building new
comb. Beeswax itself has no food
value and is lost when sold in comb
honey, whereas with modern meth
DDS it can be used again and again
by the bees. The department Of ag-
riculture will send any bee keeper
instructions on changing cheaply
from the comb to the extracted
honey method.

3-4 TON IS EATEN
BY EACH SOLDIER
Ten Times His Weight Of Food
Consumed in Year by
Fighter.

Three-quarters of a ton of food In
required each year by an American
soldier. 1t Is all the best that money
can buy, and even with the rates the
army obtains by buying In enormous
quantities 1t costs a pretty penny.
Good red meat Is the mainstay Of
the soldiers diet whenever 1t Is posi-
BILE to furnish 1t to him. The army's
allowance is ATS pounds Of beef year
for every soldier. Some of this, Of
course, Is canned beef, corned beef
and canned hash, but as much as pos
slble of 1t Is fresh meat.
When 1t Is necessary TO substitute
bacon or pork the amount allowed Is
275 pounds. For a short time this
summer the beef allowance was cut
down, and bacon and pork were sub
stituted until the shortage was re-
lieved, but as rule the bacon and
pork are only incidentals.
Potatoes, 458 pounds of them, and
the finest white wheat -four, 413
pounds, are the next greatest staples.
Backing them up are 55 pounds Of
beans, q pounds of prunes, q pounds
of coffee, rs pounds of sugar, pounds
of syrup, liz pounds of condensed
milk, the same amount of butter as
much lard, 31h pounds of vinegar and
1914 pounds of salt. In addition there
are supplies OF pepper and other condi-
ments, and jam, preserves, ETC., on Oc-
casion.
The army system is to allow GER
tain amount day for a man. The
latest figure on this ration allowance
is $40. 1t varies from time to time,
but at this rate 1t costs $15695 year
for each soldiers food.
The food is purchased by the Quar-
termaster's Department and furnished
to the company cooks at cost. Each
company orders supplies for a month
at time, baslng its purchases on the
number of men multiplied by the ra-
ton allowance for thirty days. II q
mess sergeant can buy certain things
In the open market for less than he
would have TO pay the Quartermaster
he is privileged to do so and to use The
surplus money to buy delicacies or *
ira amounts Of other staples.
Liberty Bonds bought by the inves-
tors of the nation provide the fun DIS
for the soldiers food.

FRENCH ESPRIT"

Opposite me is a man evidently
in poor health-an intelligent, kind
ly face, lined with premature old
age. He has two collapsed air cush-
ions, but breath only for one. l

he, "that / am a Frenchman living
in Canada. l have come over to be

fifty. Soon they will need me. OF
course" he adds, carefully adjusting
the air cushion to support his ailing
back, 81 cannot hope for the first

NOT 80 BAD As THAT.

How the anti-German sentiment
is obtaining foothold in the minds
of the younger generation of Ameri-
cans was illustrated strikingly in a
South Illinois street soft drink place
one evening recently.
A man entered the place and
bought a drink from a boy about
twelve years old. He handed the lad
SIS bill and received the correct
change. He had just emerged to the
sidewalk when the youngster rushed
after him and excitedly called:
"Where's that Teller that gave me
this billp It's no good. It's on the
German National bank"
And it required the efforts of sew
eral bystanders to convince him that
the money was all right.-Indian-
apolis News.

A Daily Duty.

Each day every American
soldier is confronted by a great
duty. Our army there has a
great task to perform for our
country, for the world, for civil
ization, and for humanity. Our
soldiers are doing their duty
with a courage and fidelity and
efficiency that thrill everyheart.
Each day every American cit
izen at home is confronted by a
great duty, a duty as imperative
upon him or her as the duty of
our soldiers is upon them. The
American people have a great
task to perform. 1t is to support
to the limit of their ability our
Army, our Navy, our country
at war.
To work with increased ener-
gy and efficiency so that our
national production may be in
creased; to economic in con-
sumption so that more mater
ial and labor and transporta-
ton may be left free for the
uses of the Government; and
with the resultant savings to
support the Government finan-
cially is the daily duty of every
American. 1t is a duty that
will be met by every American
whose heart is with our soldiers
in France, who glories in their
courage and fighting ability and
their success.

FISH ABLE TO remember
Abundant Proof That Members Of the
Flnny Tribe Have the Power
of Memory.

Even the fishes of the sea have
pictures on memory's wall. Expert
ments have been made with several
fishes as to their faculties for remem-
bering, but the most striking results
have been obtained with the gray
perch, which live chiefly on a small
silver-hued sardine. Some of these
were taken and colored red and were
then put into the tank where the
perch was, with several silver-col-
ored sardines Of course, the normal
sardines were at once seized and eat
en-, but it was not until hungry that
the perch made a tentative meal of
one of the red-colored victims.
On recognizing the sardine flavor,
however, he promptly demolished
the remainder, says an exchange.
Later the perch devoured the sar-
dimes irrespective of color, thus
showing not only traces of a MEM
DRY, but also the power to differenti-
ate color.
Subsequently sardines colored red
and blue were placed in the tank, to-
gether with the silver ones. The same
scene was repeated, the blue sardines
not being attacked until the others
were eaten and hunger compelled
investigation of the newcomers.
After this introduction the perch ate
the sardines of all three types with
out any difficulty.
Some spines of the sea nettle were
then fastened to the blue sardine'
These were at once avoided by. til
perch, who promptly got out of th'
way of the newcomers. This showed
traces of memory, as the results of
contact with the sea nettle we're
shown and recognized.

MINING sPITzBEReEN COAL.

Swedes are working coal mines in
Spitzbergen with success, it is re-
ported from Stockholm. Eighty-fve
miners are at work and production
per month of 1000 metric tons is es-
timated for this year. For 1919 an
output of 10000 is hoped for, and
for 1920 the expectation is 100000.
1t is expected that Sweden will OBJ
tain 1900 metric tons from Spitz-
bergen before winter begins, and an
ice breaker is being built in Norway
to keep sea channel open in cold
weather. The coal is reported to be
inexhaustible in quantity, with veins
three feet thick, and to be of good
quality. In Sweden it is believed
that Spitzbergen will soon be an i'm
2ortant source of fuel supply.

SEES SOME GOOD IN QUEUES
London Physician Asserts That AZ
They Compel Women to Rise Early
They Are q Benefit.

A good word for the queues at last !
A high medical authority has just
given it as his opinion that the early
morning "queue habit" is having
quite beneficial effect on the health
of some classes of the community.
Women who used to spend half the
morning in bed, then sitindoorspour-
ing over the morning paper or the
latest novel, are now up with the
proverbial lark and out in the fresh
air before it has become heavily dust
laden. A wait in the queues may be
beneficial on a fine springlike morn
ing, but would it be SO exhilarating
standing in a couple of inches Of
snow to wait for half pound OF
margarine7 In any case the pluck
of woman on the London front is
amazing. To stand in queue for
an hour or two, often with an infant
in arms, on the off chance of pro-
curing supplies, is task quite be-
yond the patient endurance of the
average man. Yet many of our
brave women are doing it daily with
something more than stoicism. Out
side South London butchers the
laughter and gossip of the waiting
crowd brought the proprietor from
his dugout. Opening the shop door
just wide enough to survey the merry
party, he exclaimed: "Now, then,
you ladies, not so much chinwag.
This amt mothers meeting."-
