BUFFALO HUNT
TO EXTINCTION
Antelope Island in Great
Salt Lake Scene of
Slaughter
5000 LICENSE IS
REQUIRED TO HUNT
%Sportsmen All Over the
Country Are Planning to
Participate

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. l0.-Dis.
possession and death are decreed for
the bison on Antelope island in the
Great Salt Lake. The acres of then
native stronghold are to be reclaimed
for the accommodation of domestic cat
tie.
Hunting to determination of this his
toric and isolated herd of descendants
of the one-time monarchs of the plains
is to begin Tuesday. Sportsmen from
oyer the country are planning to parti-
cipate.
Since the presence of the bison on
the island units it as a range for
cattle to which its 10000 acres are to
be converted by the Buffalo Stock com
pany, the bison must go. Removal of
the herd has been found impracticable
because of expense.
Accordingly the stock company which
acquired property rights to the buf-
falo in the terms of its lease of the
island is planning to dispose of them
to the s%portsmen. For a considera-
ton of 5000 a hunter may secure the
right to shoot, kill and dispose of n
buffalo.
More even than the meat OF the
the heads and the robes of
the animals will prove tempting to the
sportsmen.

FISHERY PRODUCTS SLUMP.
There is a Large Under Production and
Curtailment in Export.

Washington, d. c., Jan. l0.-Produc-
ton and consumption of fishery prod
ucts, stimulated and encouraged by
governmental and other agencies as a
war measure, have shown a decided
slump, according to the bureau of fish
cries.
s A large under-consumption of fish,
advancing prices of labor and materials
and a curtailment in the export trade
the report says, have placed many
fishermen in a serious situation.
As the majority Of fishermen are
small individual producers, who have
devoted their lives to their calling. ex-
posed to unusual hardships and dan
gers, with little or no training for a
change of livelihood, the bureau of
fisheries says it is important that some
measure of relief be afforded them. 1t
is endeavoring to render the industry
such aid as it can with the exceeding
~ limited funds at its disposal.
Production of fish in the first ten
months of 1920 showed a falling off of
more than 10000, 900, 900 pounds, val
ned at $500, 900, as compared with the
same period OF 1919, according to the
bureau. Many of the large New Eng
land trawlers have been tied up for
lack Of proper markets and production
of groupers on the gull coast has been
reduced by lack of demand in American
markets. These are representative of
the conditions to-day in the fisheries
OF the entire country, the bureau of
fisheries says.
The 1920 pack of canned salmon, in
Guiding Alaska, is about 100000 cases
less than in 1917 and includes $500,
900 cases of cheaper grades which it is
reported are being offered for less than
the cost of production and Fan be sold
with profit by the retailer at a low
price. Gamers of sardines and the
cheaper grades of tuna are confront
ed with similar difficulties.

SHUTS LIKELY TO WIN
In Election to Be Held Soon in the
Union of South Africa.

London, Jan, 9-Victory for General
Jan Christian SHUTS, premier of the
union of South Africa, in the elections
soon to be held is forecast in newspa-
per dispatches received here.
When the elections were held last
March fully 1905 0O voters remained
away from the polls, but the dispatch
declares the vote will be much heavier
this time.
South African politics have been
much involved during the last year. a
movement for Republican independence
led by General j. B. NJ. Hertzog having
given considerabl concern. Labor also
has entered into the situation there
and General SHUTS has had a hard fight
to weld discordant parties together in
an effort TO MAINTAIN peace.

Bacon Has Real Nutritive Value.

Bacon is an economy product, as
every housewife can testify; for the
thrifty housewife views this product
from all angles, and not from the
standpoint of first cost alone.
Bacon is one of the most easily di-
gested and assimilated foods. For this
reason, it is to be found in the diet
Of the conyalescent, who must have
n%ourishing food in order that the dis.
pase.torn body may rebuild, and yet
with foods that tax the digestive or
gans as little as possible. After all,
il Is what We digest rather than what
we eat that really benefits us.
Drippings from bacon are delicious
and should never be thrown away,
since they have a variety of uses in
the holsehold-for the faky piecrust,
as the fat in the popular spice cake, as
the foundation for white sauces and
g~rayies, and as the fat to fry pota-
toes.
Foreign housewives for many years
have made use of bacon drippings as
a spread for bread. Salt and spices
are added in this event. A sandwich
which all children like, and which, by
the way, may serve as a suggestion
for the fall l%unchbox, is made by
spreading two thin slices of bread with
spiced bacon drippings and adding sum
sausage with lettuce leaf.

costs.
The cheaper cuts have a longer fibre
and tougher texture than the more eN-
pensiye portions, but are just as nut
t~ritious as the prime cuts. To render
them tender and palatable, a certain
amount of skill and care is required IN
cooking. And a longer time is neces-
sarv.
BUT meat is eaten not only for it's
nutriment but also for its flavor. and
the big difficulty in preparing the less
expensive cuts Is in procuring this
flavor. Pounding and choppiug the
meat are often employed with the
toughest cuts. Careful browning Of
the surface of the meat, seasoning and
cooking with vegetables help develop
favor. Perhaps the best way of max
ing the tough cuts tender and brine
ing out the utmost in flavor is through
prolonged cooking AT low, temperature.
In this regard the f~ireless cooker is
the housewives chief standby. One
standard objection against wider use
OF the cheaper cuts of meat is the mn
mense amount Of time consumed in
preparing them, especially with roasts,
pot roasts. srews and the like. But
the freless cooker solves this diffc1il-
ty ideally. In it high or low temper

CERTIFIED" WATER
Is Doing Much to Improve General
Health Conditions.

Within the last II months the dan.
ger to railway travellers of infection
with typhoid fever, d~ysentery, and Other
water borne diseases has been reduced
to a minimum throughout the create,
part of the country by the cooperation
of the United States public health sery-
ice with the different state boards OF
health in testing of the water used on
railway trains for drinking and cook
ing. And, within the next few months.
similar protection will be afforded to
passengers on river and lake steamers
and to ocean steamships sailing from
American ports. This will tend to end
the severe outbreaks OF typhoid fever
that have from time to time been
traced to ships (especally 10 excursion
boats) as well as to the probably more
numerous but far less easily traced ILL
! nesses of railway travellers from sim
liar pollution.
THE work said Surgeon General
Cumming of the United states public
health service, was really begun in
June of last year, when at the conven-
ton Of state and territorial health Of
%iicers, in session at Washington, ID. c., a
plan was decided upon whereby the
service was to cooperate with the
states in reducing typhoid fever either
by sending them sanitary engineers to
investigate their water supplies or by
helping them to organize state divisions
Of sanitary engineering to look after
the work"
Work has since been done in nearly
half the states Of the union, in many
of which sanitary divisions were lack
ing. In nearly all Of these such bodies
have been or are now being organized
and in about half Of them surveys have
been made Of many or all important
water supplies, most of which have been
found safe for use on trains. Periodic
inspection is, however, of course neces-
sary.
I'm carrying out this work the pub
lie health service has grouped the states
east of the Mississippi river, into four
districts and il will group those west
OF the Mississippi into five districts as
soon as may be practicable. Each dis
trict will be provided with a sanitary
engineer from the service, who will rem
der aid to the state sanitary officers i'll

about Kentucky he may have been
under the spell of the charm of his
surroundings, but he applied to the task
the genius for writing plaintive melo-
dies which shine in some of his other
exotic, and, it might be said, synthetic,
folk songs, for example, "Swanee

The author Of Nelly Gray and
Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming
wrote more than one hundred songs.
He composed the music as well as the
words, as did the less we'll known Louis
vile song writer, VIII S. Hays, author
of a once widely popular song, "Mollie
Darling"
. In MY Old Kentucky Home and
"Swanee River the former destined
to become the more famous, the art of
