FEW SIMPLE RULES FOR,
CARE OF GOLDFISH
Overfeeding Is Most Frequent
Cause of Death

Many people who try to keep
gold fish claim that it is an i'm
possibility, that they soon sicken
and die, and they do unless they
are attended to properly. when
are they attended to properly?" is
question many lovers of the
bright, sunny little fellows would
like to have answered.
There are just a few simple rules
to follow. In the first place, the
aquarium should not be crowded.
so that the fish have plenty of
room and breathing space. The
usual size of an aquarium for the
nome is about eight by sixteen in
ches, and ten inches high. This
vessel should not contain more
than four goldfish and two tad
poles. More than that crowd the
tank and the fish soon die off one
by one. as they have not sufficient
breathing space. Such a vessel
should contain not more than two
aquatic plants. These plants are
necessary, as they absorb the i'm
purlties of the water, and keep the
aquarium fresh, but too many
plants will prevent the fish from
swimming about freely and getting
plenty of exercise.
Pulverized egg food is the best
for the fish, but most persons make
the mistake of feeding the fish
every day. They are very suscept-
lble to indigestion, and they can
be kept in good health only by
very careful feeding. Once a week
is quite sufficient, and then only
a pinch will be ample. The best
time to feed the fish is when they
are so hungry that they actually
jump up out Of the water to get
at the food. When they permit
the food to float on top of the
aquarium, and do not seem in
to take it, it is a sign that they
are overfed. In that case they
should not receive food again for
at least a week.
Another mistake made by those
who have aquariums is that the
water is changed too frequently.
Some change the water every day
or every other day. The water
should really not be changed more
than once in three months. If the
aquarium has the proper number
of fish and plants, and few tad
poles, which act as Scavengers, the
water will be kept fresh and pure.
All that is necessary is to add cup
of water occasionally to make up
for evaporation. Frequent change
of water also kills tine fish. This
is due mostly to the fact that they
are very sensitive to sudden
change of temperature, and the
fresh water, not nearing the same
temperature as the water from
which they have been removed.
may give them a chill and cause
illness at once. Changes in tenn
perature in the outer air do not
affect the fish. In fact, the water
can freeze in the aquarium without
at all harming them, as such a
change is gradual; but to suddenly
add cold water will be very harm
full to them.
I When healthy the fish will swim
about in a lively fashion, breath

CrOquettes

The continued high price of
meat in this locality makes it es-
pecially desirable that the quantity
bought should be made to go as
far as possible. The croquette is
one means of extending the meat
flavor and it is delicious if prop

To Fry

To fry, let the fat become smok-
ing hot, then test it with a piece of
bread. If the bread colors while
you count 40, it is right. After
dipping the frying basket in the
fat to grease it, lay in it four
croquettes so that they do not
touch one another, and immerse
them in the fat. Cook only long
enough to give them a delicate
color. Let them drain a moment
over the hot fat, then lift them
from the basket with the hand
very quickly, so as not to burn the
hand and place them on a brown
paper on the hot shelf or in the
open oven, until all are ready. Do
not fry more than four at one time,
as more would reduce the heat of
kthe fat too much. Let the fat be-
come smoking hot before each i'm
merSion of the croquettes. Handle
the basket on long iron spoon so
that the hand will not be burned
by the scattering fat. Croquettes
may be baked instead of fried, and
make a pleasant variety in sreving.

minced chicken. Strew the grated

SENATOR kENYoN'S CONTRAST.
ING VIEWS.

Just what is the purpose Of the
Kenyon bill now in hearing at Wash
ington would be hard to deduce from
Senator Kenyon's own statements. In
the bill itself the purpose is set forth
as follows: ITO stimulate the pro-
duction, sale, and distribution of live
stock and live stock products, and for
other purposes" This stimulation of
live stock production may be well
taken as a bid to the to hope
for lower meat prices.
But he has a different thought to
present to producers. In a letter ad.
dressed recently to the Wallace Farm
er he says: II do not believe myself
that the situation as to restricted
consumption is going to be changed
very much, and there will be the neces-
sity of less production" OF course
less production would supposedly mean
higher prices for live stock, but also
higher prices for meat.
Are either the general public or the
farmer going to be fooled by this
method Of playing up the one agalnsl
the other? 1t Is not likely. Farmers
and consumers are both coming to thu
realization that lIamperlng the pack
crs Id not going to bring higher prices
for live stock o lower prices fol
meat, but quite the opposite.

Court Order Against Coal Strike Too
Late, Labor Men Say.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The big news
in the coal strike situation was the
federal courts order forbidding the
walkout. 1t was followed by a long
line of developments and opened the
door to wide possibilities.
The principal leaders in the miners
union met the courts action with de-
nunciation as a violation of constitu-
tional rights declarations, that it
came too late to reach their men with
q countermanding order, and with pre-
dictions that it would be disregarded
anyway.
Meanwhile, organized labor leaders
showed signs of taking up cudgels on
q general issue over the RICH. to strike.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, with Vice Presi-
dent Woll and Secretary Morrison,
protested as a delegation to Attorney
General Palmer against the govern
ment's action in issuing the injunction
and predicted that 1t could ''only re-
suit in creating new and more dis.
turbing issues which may not be con-
fined solely to the miners"
Attorney General Palmer empha-
sized to the labor leaders that the gov
ernment's injunction was in no wise
an infringement of the .workingman's
right to strike, but that it was q law.

they fled, according to advices re-

MINERS REJECT
WILSON'S PLEA
Announce That Strike Will Begin
on November |, as Pre-
viousIy Planned.
SAY STRIKE IS FORCED
Operators Accepted Presidents Pro-
posal to Resume Negotiations and
Arbitrate Any Contested Points
Coal Supply Is Short.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Oficial Wash
ington, beginning to realize the mean
Ing of a coal strike, vas bombarded
with conflicting claims as to which
side was responsible. 1t turned, how
ever, to what Mr.. Wilson had dictated
at the final breakup as the explana-
fion, without knowing the next move.
Announcement by President Lewis
that the strike would begin at the
time called caused a hurried rush to
find out how much bituminous coal
there is on hand and how long it
might last, once the mines shut down.
The first reports were discouraging
although dealers and brokers' esti-
mates have indicated that the supply,
with proper care, might last a month.
Brewster Makes Statement.
Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of
the coal operators scale committee,
issued the following statement:
"The operators accepted President
Wilson's proposal to resume negotia-
tions for a wage scale and to submit
to arbitration any points which could
not be agreed to-, the mines to be kept
at work during negotiations. This the
miners refused, thereby breaking off
the negotiations and making the strike
inevitable"
Say Strike Is Forced on Them.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, in a statement asserted that the
operators walked out of the confer
ence" and did exactly what they set
out deliberately to do in the first
place-forced the bituminous miners
Of the United States to strike"
Discussing the Presidents offer, the
statement said:
Knowing that the operators were
dead set against the making of a e
agreement, we knew that if both sides
accepted the two propositions made by
President Wilson--the operators would
prevent a contract by negotiation ant
then throw the entire matter into
arbitration.
Quitting Work Only Remedy"
"But We find that the only remedy
left to us is a suspension of work, tt
obtain better conditions and wages
We did not ant a strike. No on
understands better what a STRIKE
lee than do the coal miners whit
have been through strikes in the past
But when conditions become unbear
:able, as they have in this case, tn
o miners must do what the grea
American people did when German.
became arrogant and oppressive. The.
must assert their manhood. We hav,
no fear as to the outcome. Nor do w
have any fear but that the American
public will see the justice of our pos;
ton and u action"

New Effort to End Dock Strike.

New York, Oct. 24.-Renewed efforts

He .~endeavored to arrange d confer
.aence between committees of the strik-

tracing s~tevedores. Richard Butler,
business agent of local S66 said that if
the mayors efforts were successful.
the strikers would vote on the ques-
stion OF returning to work pending the
arbitration proceedings.
