"The problem before us l« not pri-

a problem of Increased production of

which must be used to the utmost and

"The great result* which we seek
can be obtained only by the partlclpa- :
tlon of young and old In a national

that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the sccre- I

"I appeal to all who now own either !

thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like- ;

government securities transfers the
purchasing power of bis money to the j

SAMARITAN RACE NEAR END
War May Wipe Out Remnant of An-
cient Tribe in the
Holy Land.
Pittsburgh, Pa.—The last remnant of
the ancient Samaritan race may tie
wiped out of existence, according to j
E. K. Warren, president of the Inter- j
national Sunday School association. |
Mr. Warren. In his Sunday school la- |
bors In the Holy Land, found the lit- j
tie blind of people whose ancestors j
made up the great northern division of
the kingdom of the Jews. There w re
1(12 persons In the group, and he h-is
not heard a word from them In 18
months. Mr. Warren said the rnce
dwindled down because It would not
Intermarry. Two-thirds of the group
were men and of these 24 were draft-
ed by the Turkish government for nil- j
Itary service.

POULTRY POINTERS
Keep the h -ns confined to your own
land,
Don't keep a male bird. Hena lay
Ju-t as well without a male.
I>on't overstock your land.
Purchase well-matured pullets rath-
er than hens.
Don't expect great success In hatch-
ing and raising chicks unl> ss you have
had some experience and have a grass
plot sepurate from the yard for the
hens.
Build n cheap house or shelter.
Mike the house dry and free from
draughts, but allow for ventilation.
Fowls stand cold better than damp-
ness.
Keep house and yard clean.
Provide roosts and dropping boards.
Provide a nest for each four or five
hens.
Orow some green crop In the yard.
Spade up the yard frequently.
Feed table scraps and kitchen
waste.
Also feed grain once a day.
Feed a dry mash.
Keep hens free from lice and the
house free from tnP'-s.
Kill and eat the hens In the fall as
they begin to molt arid cense to lay.
Preserve the surplus eggs produced
during the spring and summer for use
during the fall and winter when eggs
ure scarce and high in price.
No Hope in Fried Whale
With High Cost of Food
TVo are not greatly elated over the
prospect of eating fried whale, al-
though the dish has been pronounced
excellent by Boston connoisseurs.
When corn and oats were suggested
as a substitute for wheat all patriotic-
ally fell In line, for It was thought that
horse feed would be cheaper than man
food, which would mean a financial
saving ns well as conservation for the
good of the country. But we reckoned
without our restaurateur. Immediate-
ly substitute sandwiches begun to per-
form the feat of diminishing In size
and increasing In price at the same
time. The great abundance of the
whale would seem to justify the hope
for a large meal at a nominal cost,
but titer*' is a fear that the restaura-
teur will learn to slice 111 III Up

Fuel Value of Potatoes
Higher Than of Any Other
of Fresh Vegetables Used
Potatoes contain all the different
substances needed for the body. Pro-
tein and minerals for growth and re-
pair; starch and fat for energy; and
minerals and roughage for body regu-
lation. A dief of whole milk and |m>-
tatoes Is perfect; the fat ani protein
of the milk supplement the small
'inantlty of these In the vegetable.
The fuel value of potatoes Is higher
than that of any other fresh vegetable
used, according to Lucy Cordltitr of
the University of Minnesota.
Common methods used in the prep-
aration and cooking of potatoes ure
wasteful. When potatoes are peeled
and allowed to stand for an hour or
two In cold water they lo«e over half
the protein and one-third their min-
erals. The peeling also takes food
with It. When cooking Is begun In
cold water the loss Is nearly as great.
Potatoes can be prepared with no loss
of food value If they be fir«t blanched
by cooking In boiling water for ten
minutes, then plunged Into cold wa-
ter, ami tile skill rubbed or peeled off.
Cooking can be completed In any way
desired, baking, steuming or boiling.
A quick oven Is . ntlal f' r baking
and pr* lin ■ - potato** that are dry,
mealy and easily digested.
If the skin Is pricked with a fork
toward the end of baking they are
further Improved by escape <>f .steam.
Soggy, watery p- tatoes do not digest
easily and may cause gas.
Moon's Influence on Piant
Growth Wnoily Negligible,
Is Bel ef of Scientists
The old I * lief that the moon has
some sort of liitluence <>n plant growth
still persists in some farming sec-
tions. Some farmers. It Is said, re-
fuse to plant crops or to kill hogs
unless the moon Is In some particular
posit I 'II.
The Influence of the rmion on the
growth ol crops, *>r on other agricul-
tural operations, has always been de-
nied by scientific men The following
brief statement by F. Marvin, chief
of ih* United Slates weather bureau,
printed In the Itural New Yorker,
-hows what they think of the mattert
"It is the general belief of scien-
tists that the moon has no appreciable
Int' let, • on temperature, rainfall, or
liny other weather element, or on
plant growth.
"Plant growth depends upon tem-
pcrnture. light, humidity and plant
I lood (both In the soil ani In the ilr),
and ii- ava'.'nMllty. Obrt—ty the
moon neither mellows the ground nor
fertilizes it, n< ith* r does P alter the
composition of the atmosphere; hence
|r afTo< ts neither the mechanical con-
dition of the soli n r the kind or
quantity of available plan; food.
"If the moon has a:i\ Influence on
plant growth. It would •>< em l.'.at It
1 I*t exert tills Influence tlll'ouuh Its
light. Experiment, howeve-, shows
tin • when a plant Is so shadowed that
It g> ts only one on*- hundredth of nor-
mal day light. It grows but llttb bet-
ter than It does in absolute darkness.
Full daylight Is about times
brighter than full moonlight; hen<"0
one one-hundredth of daylight, alreudv
too feeble to stimulate appreciably
plant activity. Is still fH Ni times
brighter than full moonlight. The con-
clusion Is that, even in ri-spect to
light stimulus, the moon's Influence
on plant growth is wholly negligible."

Shooting Stars Date Dack

Our knowledge of '.**••• • - stars
tends Into th«' old* IiI-ntv of human-

day m one knows exactly what a
shooting star Is, or from where It
comes, rays the Popular Science*
Monthly. A hypothesis proposed In
l^To and generally accepted today Is
that meteorite* ur*' fragments broken
from small planetary masses by vol-
canic explosions, broU-'ht about l> a
su'idt n expansion of gases, steam and
probably hydrogen The broken bits,

How Dust Causes Fires.
Spontaneous combustion Is caused,
sn tho chemists tell us, i y flouting par-
ticles of coal du«t or other Inflammable
material Jostling and clashing against
one another until the friction they set
up raises their temperature to the Ig-
nition point, says Popular Science
Monthly. If this explanation Is correct.
It would appear as If such Are* could
be prevented by perfect ventilation.
Such, however, Is not the case, for ven-
tllatlon may actually help to bring
about Ar*- by spontaneous combustion.
Air facilitates oxidation, really fan-
ning the w ttrt.i du*t Into a hi a .to. Keep
air damp and quiet to avoid fire.
