Further evidence of prosperity, and
faith in the future of Maury county Is
abundant in the ever increasing vol
nme of real estate transfers as re-
corded in the County Court Clerks
office. During October of 1918 it is
estimated from fees collected that

estate changed hands. During the
same month Of the present year the
transfers amounted to approximately
$376,0O0 or an increase over last year
of $161, ,O00
1t is expected that transfers for
Member of this year will show an
even larger percentage of gain over
the same month of last year 1t is ru-
mored that several large real estate
deals are now pending which will run
up the total transfers for the present
month to an astonishing figure.

MAKING SLOW PROGRESS.
GREAT WORK is BEING DONE

Young Women Have Been Given
Certificates as Home Nurses.


There must he much more liberal
response to the appeal for funds If
the Red Cross campaign for 5000
members and $500 in Maury county
is a success. Gilbert Orr, chairman
of the drive is somewhat disappointed
with the reports that have been com.
ing in, however, some workers report
their communities 100 per cent in the
drive for members. Although much
work has been done in the county dis
tricts, much remains to be done be-
fore the end Of the campaign. In
some sections, practically nothing has
been accomplished, as the solicitors
are planning to make Saturday big
day. The campaign will come to a
close Tuesday, when all former SER
vice men, soldiers, sailors and mar
ines of Maury county have been in
vited to appear in Columbia in uni
form. NJ
Chairman Orr feels sure that many
people of the county do not fully
understand the magnitude of the
great and noble work that has been
done by the Home Service Depart

fund of $500 is also for Home Ser

will be necessary toraise this amount.
During the war tile wives and moth

ments and also in ministering to
those in need of other assistance.
Since the cessation of hostilities the
work of the Red Cross is being done
on greatly enlarged basis. One of
the most important departments is
that of Home nursing. The young
women of Maury county are being
taught to care for their sick in a mod
ern and scientific manner
Graduate nurses from reputable
colleges have graduated fifteen
classes, composed of 800 young wom-
en-, who have been taught practical
home hygiene, and how to nurse even
the most difficult and desperate
cases of illness. This work it is
expected will prove of the greatest
value in case of epidemic in any COM
munity.
Another department of the Home
Service has proven of great assist
ance to returned soldiers in securing
bonus checks, insurance and disabil-
ity allowances, and also in taking
care of Liberty Bonds held for re-
teurned soldiers by the Government
As the result of this work thousands
Of dollars which was due the returned
soldiers has been secured by the Red
Cross for them.
Truly the Red Cross has been doing
a magnificent and noble work, and it
is not hardly deemed possible that
the appeal for funds should go un-
needed.

65 Per Cent of Fires of
Country Are Declared Due
to Preventable Causes

The losses by fire in the United
States and Canada during the year
1917, as compiled from the records
of the Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin, aggregate S261,273,-
800, the heaviest of any year in the
history of the country except 1906,
when the great San francisco con-
fiagration swelled the total to $780,
10000. The 1917 record is nearly
$3c 100000 in excess of the previous
years figures and over $S4,OOO,OOO
larger than the fire losses of 1915.
The world war was a contributing
factor in 1917s unusual record. In
some instances where the heaviest
war munition losses occurred there
was little or no insurance against fire
carried, and the underwriters, there
fore made lucky escape. The nota-
Bile munition plant losses included the
Canadian Car and Foundry's plant at
Kingsland. n. j., involving a loss of
$12 100000; the DUPONT Powder plant
at Haskell N. j., causing $1,50O,OOO
loss; the munltion plant of the Union
Switch and Signal company at Pitts
burgh, causing a loss of $4,200,OOO,
and the Washburn Wire works at New
York city, with a loss of 81, 100000.
The aggregate fire waste of the
United States and Canada during the
past 40 years, from 1878 to 1917, in
elusive, reaches the appalling total Of
Sc, ,4S0, ,267, $50. showing an annual av-
erage property destruction of S162,-
O06,69S. 1t is generally conceded by
those who make study of fire loss
causes that fully So per cent of the
fires of this country are due to pre-
ventable causes. On this basis of cal
culation the preventable fire Losses of
the country during the. past 40 years
reach the total of $4,212, ,173,900.

Toasted Potatoes Regarded
Good Substitute for Bread
Skins Add to the Flavor

The United States this year, it ap-
pears, will have to feed practically
all of Europe. Every suggestion for
conservation of food and variation in
preparation is welcome and an arti-
Gle in Good Housekeeping has special
value In this connection. To quote:
at is plainly patriotic duty to use
potatoes as a bread substitute. The
nearest approach to conventional meth
ods of cooking potatoes for a bread
substitute is, of course, perfectly
baked potato, but a perfectly baked
potato is rare as day in June.
"Even a perfectly baked potato
served at the psychological moment
does not give that subtle sense of
bread function that the piece of bread
or toast, held in hand affords.
"Prepare good-sized potatoes as if
TO bake, being more scrupulously care
full than usual to scrub and cleanse
the skin carefully and remove all bad
spots. Cut the perfectly cleansed po-
tato lengthwise into slices one-fourth
of an inch thick. Put the slices loose
ly into a wire basket or steamer and
steam until they are properly tenn
pered'-that is, until they are in part
but not completely cooked. If they are
completely cooked by the steam, they
are of no particular value as bread
substitute. AS rule, about ten MIN
utes' steaming is adequate. After this
initial steaming, dry the slices well
between clean towels and toast as you
would slices of bread, or put them in
a wire basket or perforated pan and
bake in very hot oven until the slices
are delicately Drowned, on both sides.
Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve as
you would toast. The skins can be re-
moved before serving or while eat
ing, but if one is a connoisseur, real
disciple of Epicurus, with as much love
of flavor and conservation as u boy or
animal, he will eat the toasted slices

American Housewives Profit
From the Lessons in Thrift
As Taught by French Chefs

The French chef, the acknowledged
world leader of the art of the cuisine,
is the product of a country that sur
passes all others in the practice of
thrift.
But the necessity of keeping her
food budget within strict limits In
spite of war prices has led many an
American housewife to discover for
herself some of the secrets of the
French chef in making inexpensive
and formerly neglected food into deli
cacies fit for king.
Especially has this been so in the
PRECIPITATION of meat for our American
tables. The following are some of the
secrets of the French chef that the
American housewife has discovered
for herself.
Flank steak, which costs much less
than top sirloin or. round steak, makes
an excellent roast. 1t can also be pot
roasted or used as chep steak.
Chuck or round steak costs much
less than porterhouse or sirloin. These
cuts should be cooked by ''moist" heat
or made tender by mechanical means,
as in hamburger"
Beef neck is juicy and well favored.
1t makes good pot roast and the
very best stews and soups.
The cross rib makes an excellent pot
roast and there is no waste.
Shin of beef makes a good beef a
la mode" Cut it up as for stew !;
brown pieces in hot fat; then add wa
ter; cook in pot the same as pot
roast, and serve with gravy.
Shin of beef makes Il most nourish-
ing soup and the meat can be taken
from the pot afterward and served
with horseradish sauce.
If you buy rib roast of beef,
have your butcher cut the rib end off
so that you can use it for making
soup. If it is left on and roasted with
the rest of the meat it is largely
wasted.
For corned beef, the flank piece, the
navel piece and the brisket piece cost
the least. These cuts are palatable and
the leftover portions can be made into
a delicious hash.

AN UlDEFILED HERITAGE

Father In heaven. who lowest all,
Oh, help thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to ago
An undefiled heritage.
Teach us to rule ourselves always,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
Hhat we may bring, II need arise,
No MANNED or worthless sacrifice.
Teach us TO look. in all our ends.
On thee for Judge. and not our friendsi
That we with thee may walk uncowed
By fear or favor OF the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek
BY deed or thought TO hurt the weak;
That, under thee. we may possess
Mans strength To comfort mans distress
Teach us delgnt in simple things.
And tmirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men meath the sun.

India's Total Sugar Acreage
Estimated at 1850, 600 Acres.

The first official forecast of the
sugar-cane crop of India for the 1918
10 season is based upon reports re-
ceived from provinces that contain 80
per cent of the area under cane in
British India. The total area planted
is estimated at 2550.0O0 acres, which
for the 1917-1S season. Seasonal con-
ditions at sowing time were not very
favorable in the important cane-grow
ing provinces and, owing to the delay
caused by rains the crop returns are
still uncertain in the greater part of
the United Provinces, which contain
more than half the cane area of Brp
