RABBIS BLESS MEAT
AS STEAMSHIP LOADS
First Kosher Meat in Five Years
Goes to European Jews
as Gift.

New York.-IDciuded in the more
than $4,000, 900 worth of supplies sent
abroad by American Jewish relief
agencies thus far this year were sew
eral hundred tons Of "kOsher" meat.
The steamer Ashburn, which left here
some time ago for DanZig, carried 800
tons of this commodity, while the
Huachuca, which has just sailed, is
carrying a smaller consignment to Con-
stanza, Rumania.
Unusual interest attaches to both
these shipments. Prominent Jews of
this city inspected the first cargo.
Jewish rabbis blessed the barrels of
meat as they were lowered into the
ships hold. The meat was a gift from
the Jews of America to their CO.
reiigionists in Poland and other parts
of Europe. These European Jews have
eaten virtually no meat in five years,
for their religion prohibits them using
meat other than that killed by a rabbi
and In an orthodox manner, and
kosher meat has been unobtainabie.
Among the other supplies sent in
these regular shipments are soap,
clothing, shoes and shoe-repairing ma
terials, large quantities Of notions,
medicines, hospital supplies and a
long list of additional articles, every
one of which Is lacking in the war!
wrecked countries across the Atlantic.
Funds to continue these regular sail
ings Of relief ships are now being
sought by the American Jewish Relief
Committee, whose headquarters are at
Is East 10th Street, this city. Louis
Marshall Is chairman and Henry H
Rose0feit director of this %organizar
ton. Campaigns are scheduled for
this fall ln some twenty states, and 1t
is expected to bring the total contribu-
lions. for jewish relief this year up to
$35. 0OO, O00.

Fatigue is due to the action upon
nerve endings and nerve cells Of pois-

body as the result of muscular me-

add to his blood, unless in minute

THE woRKlNeMAN's BURDEN.

Every workingman carries on his
back a n0nproducer. The laborer
who pays his bills is charged a higher
price to cover the loss the storekeeper
sustains by failure of the drinking
man to pay what he owes. When
crime is committed or a family impov-
erished by the drink-debauchery of its
natural support, the cost appears on
the tax bill of the man who labors.
Jobs are made by the consumption
of products, and if money is not spent
for booze, it will be spent for other
things which must be produced by
labor.-From the Cyclopedia of TEN

Resuscitation Record.

What is said to be the record for re-
suscitation from drowning was accom-
plished by United States life-savers
after the victim had been submerged
Tor six minutes. Among great many
persons the erroneous belief exists that
persons can be reSuscitated after hav-
ing been in the water a great length
Of time. Cases have been known where
resuscitation methods were used for
hours after the drowned persons had
been under water for a half-hour, or
even longer. Thus it will be seen that
drowning is a quick death and the
hazard of the water correspondingly
great.

SAVING LABOR WITH CATTLE
Alter Daily Routine of Chores So As
to Reduce Amo.nt of Work
Needed-Other Hints.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
In general, labor in beef cattle on
eratlons may be saved in two ways.
Inc hrst, which probably will offer
quickest relief and not require an
extra outlay of capital, is to alter the
daily routine of chores so as to re-
duce the amount of labor needed. (1)
Allow calves to nurse their dams in
the pasture instead of bringing them
TO the barn lots for that purpose. (2l
hun the bull with the COWS instead
OF keeping him in a paddock. (3)
STACK coarse rOughages in racks from
which the cattle may eat at will in
stead Of rationing their feed to them
1a1ly. az Use self-feeders in fatten-
ing cattle for market instead of ra.
t'onlng the feed to them once or twice
day, as the practice may be. 90
Feed the different feedstuffs in their
whole state instead Of chatting, cut
ting, crushing, grinding, ETC. (6) Load
manure to the spreader and haul it to-
the field direct rather than dump it
on piles, thereby eliminating the ne
cessity Of reloading. Cd Dehorn all
grade cattle and pure breds not to be
exhibited at fairs and run them TO-
eether so far as possible rather than
separate them according to sex, age,
etc, thereby making it possible for
one man to lock after a greater num-
Der of cattle in the same length of
time. (S) Carefully Gull the herd so
as to retain only profitable animals
and reduce the number of surplus ones
to be carried through seasons in which
the greatest care per head must be
supplied
The second way to save labor with
beef cattle is to supply labor-saving
equipment. While this method REQUIRES
an expenditure Of money and will
probably not bring such quick relief
as the first method. the equipment
supplied will be permanent and in
the long run will probably be more
economical in saving labor. The fol-
lowing are some Of the forms of
equipment that should be supplied for

CHANGE IDEAS ON HIGHWAYS
Manufacturing Public No Lonoer Re
CARDS Good Roads as Sneedw.ve
TOT fortunate Neiqhbors.

The publics conception of "pood
roaus' has undergone radical change
In the last two years.
Prior to the entry Of the United
states into the world war, the non.
motoring American public, more often
than not, thought good roads were ad.
vocated chiefly for the benefit of their
more fortunate neighbors who owned
and drove their own motor cars
writes e. A. Williams, Jr., president
OF large motor truck company. Thev
were inclined to regard good roads
laws as class legislation and were I'm.
willing for the most part to lend either
financial or moral support to the con-
structlon and upkeep of something
from which they derived no direct
Dement'S so far as they could see.
Ihe war merely fastened what
leaders of the industry had foreseen
for several years; it furnished the set
ting and the conditions which enabled
the truck to establish itself as a fac
tor in the economic life of the coun.
try
we non-motoring public no longer
looks upon good roads as "speedways"
Tor the motoring "aristocracy." It has
come to realize that motor trucks
are essential as transportation factors.
ana that good roads are necessary to
the efficient operation of trucks. Its
vision has been broadened; it sees the
advantages and benefits which accrue
from a combination of these factors
benefits which have a direct bearing
upon the economic conditions of the
community.
1t sees the farm brought, one might
say, to the very table Of the consumer
1t sees an ultimate decrease in food
prices; and, those who pause to con.
slider the matter further, see the ever
expanding range of possibilities of the
truck and its ally, good roads.
With the universal recognition and
adoption of the motor truck the pub.
lies conception of how roads should
be built also has undergone a change.
Heretofore there has been a vast diff.
ference between the average mans
idea of good roads and that of the
experienced engineer. The average
man was content TO build for the pres
ent; the engineer, as a result of past
and not altogether satisfactory exper-

MAKING STUDY OF VOLCANOES
Department Of Agriculture Has Taken
Up New Line, Which Is Bound to
Be of Interest

The department of agriculture has
begun the extensive observation of the
volcanoes within it's borders and in
SuIar possessions, and has recently
taken formal charge of the observa-
tory on kilauea, Hawaiian islands.
Prof t. A. Jaggar, Jr., formerly of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
who has been director of the observa-
tory since its foundation, will remain
in charge. The Investigations at Kill
auea were begun in 1912, under the au-
spices of the Massachusetts Institute
Of Technology, and since 1913 have
been maintained at the expense of the
Hawaiian Volcano Research associa,
ton, consisting chiefly of residents of
Honolulu. 1t is expected that the

portance of building for the future

The first thing a railroad does after
obtaining a right-of-way, as everyone
KNOWS, is to build a roadbed and Law
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track which corresponds
to the surface of the highway, is built
OF the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however. dc
not expect this roadbed and track te
last forever without attention. Ions
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con
slant repairs.
That is just what we are coming tc
in road building. For years it has beer
customary for county engineers tt
direct such operations but for the
