FORGOT VIVA. He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when q
younng gentleman came tn this Office
and asked for copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized it
carefully when copy was handed him.
and then said: Nov Knowr'
What is it you are looking for" we
inquired. "My wife sent me after 9
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
and forgot the name. / went to
several stores and the clerks named
over everything in the line on the shelf
except 'Chamberlain's. I'll try again,
and I'll never go home without Chant err
lain Cough Remedy. The Republican
would suggest to the proprietors of
stores, that they post their clerks, and
never let them substitute. Customers
lose faith in stores where substituting
is permitted. to say nothing of the in
justice, to makers of good goods and
the disappointment of customers. ADV.

All Bond Issues Over 500, 900 Are Un-
der Control.

All Bond Issues Over 500, 900 Are I'm
der Control.
Washington. Feb. Is. Every
municipal bond issue of 500, 600
or more hereafter will be passed
on by the Federal Reserve
Boards capital issue committee
before being foated. By reduc-
ing today from $3.50, 600 to $780,
600 the minimum size of munich
pal issues which it will con-
slider, the committee extended its
influence over several times more
municipal bond issues than here
tofore. I
The committee found recently.
after analyzing pending applica-
tons for approval of proposed
issues, the great bulk of munich
palbonds were offered in blocks
of less than $3.50, 600, and. there
fore, were not subject to the
committees restrictive influence.
= y In a circular of
instructions to applicants for the
committees approval of contem-
plated issues, the committee and
its advisory body. headed by A.
B. Forbes, explained that the
purpose and circumstances sur
rounding each issue must be de-
scribed fully in the application.
This is particularly necessary if
the funds are needed for extern
sions or Improvements relating
directly to war production or for
fulfillment of any national, state
or local governmental require
ment.
In, all cases." said the in
structions, full reasons should
be given why the proposed issue
cannot be postponed until after
the war or why the necessity is
greater than the paramount need

and materials and labor of the
country.for the war. -
For state, county or munich
pally issues, the committee re-
quires a copy Of the bill. resolu-
ton or ordinance under which
they were authorized.
The COMMITTEES announced today
it is working with the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads in deter
mining what contemplated road
construction this year is neces-
sary for urgent military or eco
monte reasons.
Most roads to which the bureau
heretofore has planned to contri-
butte will be built even under the
capital issue restrictions, it is
said, since they have been select
ed carefully on the basis of their
economic importance. The sup
port of the state highway COM
missioners was enlisted at a re-
cent conference with the capital
issues committee, and they will
report soon to the Public Roads
Bureau an outline of their respec-
tive curtailed road building pro-
gram for the year. 81
In normal times highway con-
struction and maintenance in the
y
United States calls for an outlay
of about $500, 900. 600 a year.
Officials are inclined to the view
this sum will not be curtailed
greatly this year. but it will be
spent on roads vitality necessary
for transportation of war materi-
ais. Projects for building of
roads which cannot be completed.
for more than : a year probably
will be given unfavorable con-:
sideration. since the capital issue
committee is basing its verdicts
on the usefulness of projects
completed this year. In other.

SAWDUST STOVE.
Try Cooking Out of Doors Italian Idea

AnNMhpr

Try Cooking Out of Doors Italian Idea
for Burning Sawdust Can be Tried
Anywhere.
In these days, when economy in fuel
is OF Importance, an Italian idea IS worth
considering
The peasants ot Italy use sawdust rs a
fuel and this burns we'll in the stoves
they use, which are made for the purpose
These stoves are Of extremely simple
design. but often enough one sees a
roughly made one that is merely an old
tin can or bucket with holes bored in ii
With this. and two lengths Of broom
stick the stove IS set up IN the following
manner
In the first place, hole is bored on
each side in the lower part Of the bucket
large enough To Accommodate one of the
broomsticks. Then a laver OF sawdust
an inch or - deep IS put into the bottom
and well pressed down. Then one OF
the pieces OF hroomstick IS pushed IN
one hole and out Of the other. as'can be
seen in the diagram The other stick
Is rested on the centre Of this first stick
and held upright
Sawdust Is then packed in until the
bucket is nearly full and it IS important
to press the sawdust down well
The two sticks are then carefully
withdrawn and the stove IS ready for
lighting.
To set the stove going place lighted
paper in the opening at the bottom of the
bucket through which the stick is passed.
Il once the flames roar up the little flue,
and the sawdust is soon well aIght.
\ sawdust stove on these lines Will
burn for several hours, and give out
a great heat Metal bars across the top
are used to support cooking utensils
1t is important that the saw dust should
be dry, otherwise the stove viii smoke
badly
Vita stove Of this kind one could
often do cooking out Of doors during
the summer. and 50 save gas.
If YOU can't get sawdust, burn coke
in your Duckct. rs men do when repairing

FUEL ECONOMY IN KITCHENwARE.

One of the greatest worries Of house
wife in all this question of the conservs-
ton OF food Is the conflict In advice. She
is told that cheap cuts OF meat are as
nourishing and as well favored as the
expensive provided they are properly
cooked That provided is q big item
and always means that the meat must
be cooked a very long time. With fuel at
its present price, and with the difficulty
of obtaining it at all, the question arises
is there any economy IN cheap cuts after
all?
To cook tough meat properly 1t must
be put in a utensil which will cook It
slowly and steadily for hours. Earthen-
ware will do this the French use 1t much
but earthenware requires q great deal OF
heat to do even slow cooking. Metal
heats quickly but does not retain heat
so as TO continue cooking when pat one
side. Fortunately in enameled ware the
h6Isekeeper has her answer to the prob
lem Owing to its construction, por-
cclain surface on metal. 1t combines the
quick heating of metal with the heat
retention of earthenware, thus giving a
very high degree Of heat efficiency
A round of beef, say, started over a
good fire In an enameled ware kettle,
can be set to the one side and yet keep up
enough cooking TO make 1t tender and

BREAD WITHOUT YEAST.

am making bread without yeast, and
finding 1t excellent.
For the first baking | got dried yeast
in the ordinary way, kneaded the dough,
and when it was just ready TO put to rise,
/ took out a small piece Of the dough
about as big as a duck $ egg, put II INTO a
basin, and covered il with a saucer.
When | went to look at 1t two or three
days after, it had risen to the top Of the
basin ! then mixed it well up with luke
warm water, stirred it into three and a
half pounds Of -four, and then proceeded
to make my dough, Just as if had stirred
in the usual quantity of yeast. When that
was kneaded. | took out piece 10 keep for
the next baking, Jsut as | had done for
the first time.
Bread made in this way takes a little
longer to rise than if made with new
yeast; but it Is excellent, and one is saved

THE RETURNING.

They passed the crowds dissolved, the
music died;
But one old man with hair like wind
swept foam
Gazed into space with sombre eyes and
cried,
God bring the dear lads, when their
work is over, homer
God bring them home, those boys?-ah,
they who bear
The dreadful shock, they shall return
some day
With newborn souls, and they shall ever
wear
A loftier mien than when they went
away.
But they who fall, knights Of the living
God,
Who meet the dawn upon a foreign
shore,
They shall come back from Frances pop
pied sod
To be our boys, unchanged, forever
more.
