BOYCOTT USED
 BY EGYPTIANS

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, March G. In declaring boycott against all goods of English manufacture, the Egyptians have adopted the tactics of the Nationalists of India. They have heard that the Indians have been successful in their attempt to boycott British goods and are en- deavoring to use the same means to bring the British government to terms.
 Many Egyptian merchants refuse to buy English goods and salesmen calling on Egyptian customers are promptly told that he wishes no quo- tations on such merchandise. If the Egyptians are able to hold together on the boycott program and force the importers to no longer deal in English cotton piece goods, iron and steel products, the result may be serious for English factories.
 British banks are included in the boycott. Considerable sums have been withdrawn from English banks in Egypt and placed in other for eign bangs.
 School boys have boycotted the schools and the native bar associa- tion voted to suspend all work.
 It has been proposed also to re- strict the cultivation of Egyptian cotton, which would be of interest to the cotton growers of the United States. It has been suggested that the Egyptians should refuse to ex- port onions to England, which now takes 80 percent of the Egyptian onion crop.
 Certain members of the effendi class, Egyptians of liesure, have an- nounced they would cease to drink English whiskey and refuse to wear short cropped mustaches as the Eng fish do. Various other boycotting plans have been proposed.

But in the end Cold Molasses takes first prize of three thousand dollars and the plans of the Hammerheads are frustrated.

HUMBLE FRYING PAN
 BLAMED FOR ILLNESS

CHICAGO, March 6.-The Salvation Army will distribute no more fry. pans in Chicago. Brigadier Annie Cowden has discovered that 35 pel :, cent of Chicago's children are un- dernourished. She took up the mat ter with Mrs. Ida Bailey Allen, na- tional home economics expert and the death warrant of the frying pan was the result. According to Mrs Allen, 50 per cent of all illness can be traced to improperly prepared food, and 10 per cent of all inef- cause
 Brigadier Cowdan, after months of investigation, agrees with Mrs. Allen that one of the principal causes of malnutrition is the frying-pan. Mrs. Allen said it isn't so much poor quill ity in food as poor preparation of food which is responsible for the uduCl Houl Ol CAlluI DC- naturalized breakfast foods, careless cooking and the insiduous frying pan are the root of the evil, she con- tends.
 Brigadier Cowden said the Salva- tion Army, through hundreds of slum homes and settlement houses in ev- cry part of the world, is trying to educate slum mothers in the health full preparation of foods, that as the 35 per cent of undernourished chil- dren in Chicago were found equally in the homes the poor, the well-to-do and even the wealthy, great benefits would follow more intelligent cook ing.

BUNNY LOSING
 GERMAN LOVE

BERLIN, March 16.-Germans are turning against the use of tame rab- bits as food Rabbit sausage was a staple of the Teuton table in wartime and Germans explain it's present un- popularity by saying they have had too much of it.
 Millions of tame rabbits were i'm ported from Belgium and Holland by the states and sold at a low cost. Citi- zens established rabbit hutches and bred them to replenish the beef and pork supply in the war.
 Berlin alone bought 100,0OO,OO marks worth of rabbit h one order, for which the city still is indebted. Whole trainloads of the little animals were distributed from 1877 to the mid dle of the following year.
 Many families tasted no other meat but rabbit for months, and the sweet ish flavor of it palled. Then came a time when the cost of rabbit feed be- came so high that the citizens were compelled to kill the animals and eat them, or see them starve. Soon the rabbit house on the roofs of buildings, on balconies, in backyards, gardens and odd corners of alleys and streets disappeared.
 Wild rabbit still is sold in the mar. ket stalls, but the tame variety of the species has virtually vanished un. lameuteA.

NO TOBACCO DAY" DESIGNATED
 BY GOV. McRAE OF ARKANSAS
Citizens Urged to Enroll
 in Campaign to Check Tobacco Habit Said to
 Lead to Degeneracy.

The tobacco men and Governor McRae of Arkansas, have now drawn swords in a battle of no mean pro- portion. The governor is hot after the tobacco users and predicts that all tobacco, like whisky. will see it's end before many years.
 A special dispatch from Little Rock outlines a proclamation issued by Governor McRae, in which the governor sets aside March IF az "No Tobacco Day." and requests citi- zens of the state of Arkansas to as- sume leadership in a movement to enroll public schools and colleges in the campaign of education against the use of tobacco in all forms.
 Believing that the widespread use of tobacco is a slow and insidious destroyer of the fitness of the race," the proclamation reads "that is gen. eral use by men and women from their youth up, generation after gen. eration, is contributing to unmistak- able and certain degeneracy, to say nothing of the loathsomeness of the habit and it's great expense to man. kind, I feel that organized society should find methods to check it's use and avoid the dire effects.
 q believe that the people of this enlightened time will yield to the
