Special Finaer-Print Camera.

For police officers and others who
have need of getting finger-print evil
dence from material that cannot be
preserved or removed from it's environ
ment, a special camera has been per-
fected. 1t takes a photograph of the
fnger-print wherever it may be. In
operating the camera no Photographic
skill or experience nor even a tripod
is necessary. The camera is held tight
against the surface of the door, ceiling
wallpaper or whatever the finger-print
has been made. The shutter release
lever is then pressed down; this au-
tomatically closes the circuit to the
four lamps inside the camera and thus
lights them, providing the illumination
for the exposure. The necessary cur
rent is provided by storage batteries
inside the camera.-Popular Science

BIC HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration in Con-
servation Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to a
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's 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 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This adj
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 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 meal
prices for live cattle was ordained In
England, as follows: For September
$17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
SIPS; November and December,
$16.0S, ana for January, $14.40. The
evident intent of this Measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
o o as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
a total of 12,341. 900 as compared with
14,s07, 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France is pro
ducing only gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food adj
m~inistration has taken steps to on
serve our focks and herds and to in
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years IL 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 rs 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 e-
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.
1t is estimated that one-half have now
been killed.

times Tom made himself useful By
cutting under the direction of the min.
lister, sometimes he sewed OF buttons.
and sometimes he filled Johns pipe
or relighted 1t, so hat the wheels OF
the machine might run on without in
terruption.
1t was about ten o'clock and the
minister's song was at its loudest, the
machine was buzzing almost as noisily.

up toward the window from the
street, nor did they hear, through the
parsons noisy treble, the sound Of
four different sorts of footsteps on the
stairs. But they did hear a key In
the door, and because Molly's uncle
heard his Matty's voice saying very
positively: 81 guess I'll find out who
dared break into this ROOM" He
reached up to the lamp hat hung
from the ceiling, drew it down and
with one vigorous puff down the Chin
ney, extinguished the only light.
Two or three screams followed in
the darkness, and then much con-
fusion. Finally, after what seemed to
Tom, many minutes of cropping about.
he put his hand out and found MOlly'S
hand stretched out before her. About
that time Molly's uncle had found Mat
ty and the minister had relighted the
lamp.
1t took a great deal of explaining
to reveal the fact that the minister's
maid on returning from the village
had brought back the news that there
was a light in the Red Cross head
quarters. OF course, the only thing
to think was that burglars had en-
tered. Then followed the assembling
of the Red Cross leaders and the brave
encounter in the dark.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of Selling fo~odstuffs,
owned by h~ouseholders. 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-
malls 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 constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1913 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale thar 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.

Bed and Black Hair.

In Eastern countries red hair and
warts are in the same category; but
coming west as far as Constantinople,
where red hair is very uncommon, We
find 1t just as greatly admired, and
henna used to make it red if it isn't,
says a traveller. In England, 'Titian
red," as it is called, is greatly admired
now, and any woman novelist who
wants to be among the biggest sell
ers" must give her heroine Titan red
hair.
Yet In Africa a crop of the blacklist,
curliest, closest hair imaginable makes
a girl the belle of the kraal, especially
if she be plump, with piggy eyes, thick
lips, a nose like an India-rubber shoe
and a skin that shines like a cooking
stove.

 BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

Little Rock, Feb g. State Super intendent Bond is engaged in a wig orous campaign to encourage the boys and girls of the state to enlis in the club work. He says:
 The teacher, more than any one else, is in a position. to stimulate and insire the young people of our country along this line of work. Through the teachers, the children can be easily led to see the educa- tional value of club work, and they will respond with interest and en- thusiasm, if led in the right spirit by those in whom they place the greatest confidence.
 During the month of February ev- cry teacher of the sate is asked to get in touch with the county demons ration agent and canning club agents ofyoar county; have them visit your school, and with their help enlist for membership in the club work for this year every boy girl in your school whois eligible for member ship The club work is practical and educative in character and it can be made a vitalizing factor in your school.

The Sunday School met at the usual hour Our efficient Superintendent was there and conducted the exercises.
 At the morning hour, our pastor, preached a powerful sermon, taking his text from the 14th verse of the 10th chapter of Ezekiel. His subject was "The Man With Four Faces.0 He said, God is never without motive, he placed man on earth for a purpose God, in creating the world and man, drew upon all the genius he possess led Man often wanders away and for gets his mission God intended that we should dwell on tie heights of puri= ty and hiliness. Man has a face like a Cherubim; this represents a thoughtful serious and reverent man His thoughts are centered on God. Face of real man; this stands for all that is pure, righteous and true. The vision of a real man brings joy ana peace to the world, and a message of our crueified Lord. Face of lion; this represents all that is courageous. Man courage that comes from God shall never be conquered and suppressed. Face of an angel; this represents the high and holy things of life. God did not intend that our home should be in sin, but on the mountain top, mid the breezes of purity. May God give you, and 1 such character as is found in these four great faces of man."
 The Epworth League had an inter- esting meeting, with E. E. Nunn as leader. All young people are invited to the League. It will be led next Sunday by Rev. Marion Monk, assisted by Miss Allie Cox.
 At the evening hour, the pastors subject was "The Purpose of Man" The text was taken from the 1st chap ter of Daniel, and 8tn verse. He gave an impressive sermon on the life of Daniel, and showed us how, at times, the things considered blessings, are curses that ruin and bring destruction. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. His very life was guided and controlled by pur- pose, which was born of God. Purpos IS the primary element of all true liv- ing. A life without divine purpose is like ship without 9 rudder, helpless and hopeless. We are living in a young mans age, there are Golden op- portunities before us, he said.
 Rev Monk has won his way into the hearts of the Malvern people, and is greeted at each service by large con- gregation. If you are not attending the services, you are missing a great deal. c. B.

MILK IN WINTER

Why do your cows give less milk in winter than they do in summer? Just because nature does not supply them with grasses and green food. But we have come tothe assistance of Dame Nature with B. A.

We guar antee that this remedy will make your cows give more milk, and better milk with the same feed. Sold by Percy Chamberlain.
