Kansas Soldiers Did Not Waste
Lead on Enemy.

Busters Shots.
CHAPLAIN GRAY PRAISES men
AtchisOn Pastor Was Decorated
for His Work.
He Says AIl-Kansas Regiment
Was "An There.

The accurate aim of the Kansas SOL
der is described by o. E. Gray. regi-
mental chaplain of the S53rd ALL
Kansas regiment. with the declaration
that as per cent of the German dead
in the Barricourt wood were shot thru
the head with rifles. Chaplain Gray
said his attention was called to the
deadly accuracy of the Kansans' aim
by wounded Germans and that he sent
word back to the burial party to keep
track of the number, of men killed
with the rifles.
The 35Srd was one of the best regi-
ments and the S9th one of the best Sdi-
visions in the whole American army,
the chaplain declared. The 353rd was
the only regiment decorated as a unit.
The first engagement in which the
all-kansas regiment participated was
on the Limey front, when the Ger
mans made a raid on the night of Sep
TENDER Z with the object OF taking
rout of the raiding party and five pris-
oners taken by the Americans.
A Game Youngster.
Gray told OF a sergeant who engaged
in hand to hand combat with one of
the Huns and had his arm torn from
| its socket. After that he shot two
Germans and took a third prisoner.
| When he was removed to the hospital
| for treatment. he asked to be sent
! back to his company at once.
During the movement of the -regi-
| ment from the st. Mihiel to the
Mouse front, Chaplain Gray said. oc-
cupying two nights, it was a subject
of comment by the division command.
er that there was not one straggler.
When the 353rd and 354th took
Barricourt woods, the last fortified po-
sition of the Huns. Marshal Foch Is
declared to have exclaimed, upon re-
ceipt of the news:
THE war is ended"
A 210 howitzer gun was captured
! during this battle with a shell in ii un-
exploded. This, Gray said. was testi-
mony of the remarkable rapidity OF
to which the Americans had plunged
into the enemy line
Chaplain Gray himself was decorat.
ed. 1t was owing to the splendid ply
steal and moral condition of the divi-
sion, he said, that 1t was chosen fol
that during all his experience he had
never heard a complaint from q
| wounded man and that the innumer'
able cases of personal self-sacrific'
were touching in the extreme.
TOO much praise cannot be giver
these men," Gray declared. 1T is be
cause 1 like to live among such meI
as these that 1 have returned to Kan
sas and 1 believe their influence OF
the social condition of this and tn

the next few years.
Gray was formerly rector OF th'
Trinity Episcopal church. of Atchison
He became chaplain of the 353rd regi
ment in February, 1913. remaining II

Of loans. The way people are being
befuddled into thinking this state of
things is prosperity has been the de-
spair of economists in all times. These
deposits have the same effect as so
much paper money.
Liberty bond loans in the banks
ought to be paid off, and the loans of
the federal reserve banks ought to be
liQuidated. The federal reserve banks
were never intended to be resort for
continuous borrowing. Thy were in
tended, as the name implies. to be
banks holding reserves of credit for

Prices and Unrest.
Nobody is responsible for the ris-
ing cost of the common necessaries
of life, but when great numbers OF
people are disappointed and discon-
tented somebody is always held to be
responsible. The most thoughtful
students of history have held that all
the great crises and upheavals of So
ciety have been due to economic
Gauss, to direct economic pressure
upon the people. rather than to Logical
reasoning or intellectual leadership.

CITY REPAIRS LEAKS
Water Department Has Force oil
Residence Work.

Residence Work.
The city water department is using
a force of men repairing leaks in va
rious parts of the system
The leaks are mostly in the pipe
lines leading to residences. At the
present time the plumbing inspector
is in the department of the commits
sioner Of parks. Stanfield believes
this office should be moved to his
department as the work Of the officer
comes more directly in line with the
work of the water department. The
plumbing inspector is placed in the
health department on account Of the
sanitation problem of plumbing.
About a year ago the work OF re-
pairing leaks was transferred to the
water department. This is probably
as it should be, Stanfield agrees, but
he feels that if his department is
responsible for repairs it should also
have charge of inspecting new plumb
ing and seeing that requirements are
met with in order to obviate the pos
sibility of leaks arising in the future
Plumbing jobs should be inspected. the
commissioner believes, while the work
is being done and again after it has
been completed.

Large Red Cross Sale.

Denver-The auction of the Red
Cross herd of 1,O30 heifers in the
stockyards attracted great attention.
On the platform with Colonel Gross
were George Oxley, secretary of the
Rocky Mountain division of the Red
Cross; several women in Red Cross
costume, and two members of the
women's motor corps. The sale brought
$43,843 for the cause of mercy for
which the Red Cross stands sponsor.
At the auction of the Red Cross herd
of heifers, John A. Cook of Sterling,
Colo, paid S11O a head for a carload
of feeder heifers. The heifers were
donated by the stockmen of Colorado
and Wyoming. Ell Paso county led
the contribution with 121 animals,
while Logan county donated fewer but
choicer steers, thereby making the Red
Cross richer by $2,1O0. There were,
in addition to the herd, fifteen single
heifers, which were sold for record
prices Mischief B., donated by c. l..
Martin of Laveta, was sold to Carl

New and Tasty SAUSAGE.

Ever eat potato and nut sausage7
If you haven't there is a treat in
store for you and at the same time
you will be helping conserve the meat
supply. The recipe for this delicious
dish is one vouched for by the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t follows:
cupfuls mashed V teaspoonful pep
potatoes per
y pound nuts of any Few grains cayenne
kind Pinch celery seed
egg we'll beaten Y cupful milk (ap-
IL teaspoonfuls proximately)
salt Is pound salt pork
To the mashed potatoes add enough
milk to bind them. Put nuts in boil
ing water to loosen skins, remove
skins and put through meat grinder.
Mix nuts and potatoes thoroughly and
season well. Add well-beaten egg to
potato mixture. Form into sausages,
flour them well, put into grensed pan,
and put a small piece of salt pork on
top of each sausage. Bake in a fairly
hot oven until brown (about 45 min
utes). Serve with tomato sauce.

Tacoma Nearly Isolated.

Tacoma, Wash-Floods and slides
had practically isolated Tacoma by
railroad after twenty-four hours of the
heaviest rain in the history of the
city. In twenty four hours 500 inches
of rain fell. High water and jamming
logs at Tacoma's water supply have
threatened the city with water fam
inc. All rail service between Portland
and Tacoma was cut off by twelve
slides. Passengers on an interurban
train were reported stalled by one of
the slides. Rescuing parties sent by
automobile to bring in the marooned
passengers were themselves turned
back upon discovering that the Pacific
highway and other roads were buried
under slides and water.

Some of the Ways the United
States Safeguards the
Meat Supply.
LOOK FOR INSPECTION TAG
Products Containing Meat as Well as
Cuts Must Pass Inspection
Many Women Now Being
Used as Meat Inspectors.

The up-to-date housewife is no long
er ignorant or Indifferent to the neces-
Sity of buying clean and wholesome
food for her family. Few realize, how
ever, to what extent the efforts of our
government have been responsible for
the bulk of the foods sold today being
clear and untainted. With many foods,
particularly meat, there formerly was
no way of ascertaining whether they
were free from disease and dirt. One
could only trust and hope as to their
wholesomeness.
Look for the Inspection Brand.
All this has changed with meat since
1900, when the meat inspection act
went into effect. There is still un-
Inspected meat on the market, but the
United States government, through the
department of agriculture, has made it
possible for you to buy, if you choose,
that which was clean and free from
disease and decomposition, when it
left the packing house. There is no
involved method in getting this kind
of meat. ALL that is necessary is to
make sure that the blue inspection
brandy. S. Inspd. & Psd"-is
stamped on the carcass from which
your cut is taken. This federal in
spection, under the bureau of animal
Industry, is carried on only in pack
ing houses which have an interstate
or foreign trade. Some states and
municipalities also require meat in
spection in their packing houses.
The brand. which is shown in the
Illustration is a guarantee that the
meat is wholesome and that the car
cass was handled in a cleanly manner.
In the case of n4at products the In
spection legend on the label insures
that no harmful dyes, preservatives,
chemicals or deleterious substances
were used-all points of much interest
to the housewife.
AS there is no practical method of
microscopic inspection which is even
approximately effective for the detec-
tion of trichinae, it is not safe to eat
pork which has not been cooked well,
and so the government advises that all
pork should be well cooked, otherwise
it may cause disease known as trichi-
nesis. Few in this country eat 1t in
an uncOoked form, but for the pork
products which may be eaten uncooked
by consumers who are ignorant or
careless of the dangers of the raw
product, the government requires Off
cial establishments to subject all such
pork products to processes which de-
stroy the trichinae.
The canned meats put out by the
packing companies having an inter
state or foreign trade are also in

spected, and If Mrs. Housewife will
take the time to read the labels on
those inspected cans, she will find IL
well worth her while. Printed on them
are just what the product is and the
exact weight. In the instance of fat,
if the price per pound has been ascer-
tained beforehand, she can tell by the
label whether she has bought and paid
for full two pounds, or whether the
can lacks a few ounces. The label
tells the story.
