The triple walls at every point in the range exposed to heat or smoke are an insur- ance against damage from rust or corrosion.

Here is one of his experi- ences, “Three feet of snow had fallen; rain came, followed by zero tem- perature, more snow and a-driving wind. The uncertain railroad running the length of the valley was blocked and its one telegraph wire was down. At 10 o’clock in at Meadows. His horse, unable to go farther, had been abandon- ‘ed five miles up the trail. A neighbor was aroused, and at 11 o’clock the three men on horses commenced the 30-mile journey across mountains, through gorges and over flooded, freezing streams. | None of the three remembers much about the trip. The cold -was numbing. The wind, fortu- nately, was for the most part be- hind them, otherwise the horses ‘would have refused to -go; as it lon. “Legs, arms, eyes, tongue seem- ed dead; everything seemed dead except a spot deep within each of the men. When within three miles of the goal, the doctor’s horse fell suddenly, breaking its own leg and pinning the doctor down. Hisankle was turned; it might be broken; the cold was too deadening to let him know. They shot the injured animal, the two men put the doctor on the neighbor’s horse and they pushed At 8 o’clock they reached the unconscious mother, and two hours later skill’ and instruments the night a man came to the doc-, was, they wallowed and flounder-' and devotion placed the first-born tor’s house and flung _ himself ed in the snow, slipping and fall- | in her arms.” It’s easy enough to say this and say that, And sometimes for people to mock; But when buying lumber, get down to brass tacks, And know it is figures that talk. So before separating yourself from your coin For lumber of any kind, Let us make you an estimate— Our figures are right, you will find. If you want to know the best price you can get, for the very best lumber or building material of any kind, let us make you an estimate on your bill ““The Yard That Saves and Satisfies’’ HUSSMAN LUMBER CO. :| tration reports that American stock ‘ment at a price that allows the adul- | | 16 cents. This Is Our Winter of Test ERVING food |s a lo- cal probizm for each community. Prices and definite rules for every one cannot be formulated. It is a duty for each one- to eat only so much as is necessary to maintain ~ the : human body healthy and strong. This winter of 1918 is the period when is to be tested here in America wheth- er our people are capable of vol- untary individual sacrifice to save the world.’ That is the pur- pose of the organization of the United States Food Adiinistra- tion—by voluntary effort te pro- vide the food that the world needs. U. 8. FOOD ADMIT ISTRATION NEED BIG HERDS Europe’s Meat Supply Must Come | From America. Warring Nations Have Depleted Live Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve1 Killing Dairy Cattle For Food. American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their flocks and herds in order to meet Europe's tre- mendous demands for meats during || the war and probably for many years afterward, The United States food adminis- raisers have shown a dispusition to co-operate with the government in in- creasing the nation’s supply of live stock, Germany today is probably ‘better supplied with live stock than any oth- er European nation. When the Ger- man armies made their big advance into France and then retreated vir- tually all the cattle in the invaded territory — approximately 1,800,000 head—were driven behind the German lines, But in England—where 2,400,000 acres of pasture lands have been turn- ed into grain fields—the cattle herds are decreasing rapidly. One of the reasons apparently is the declining maximum price scale adopted by the English as follows: For September, $17.76 per 100 pounds ; October, $17.28; November and December, $16.08; Jan- lary, $14.40. The effect of these prices was to drive beef animals on the mar- ket as soon as possible, In France the number of cattle as well as the quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. Where France had 14,807,000 head of | cattle In 1913, she now has only 12,- 341,900, a decrease of 16.6 per cent. And France is today producing only one gallon of milk compared to two and one-half gallons before the war. Denmark and Holland have been | forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef | because of the lack of necessary feed. Close study of the Eurenean meat situation has convinced the Food Ad- ministration that the future problem of America lies largely in the produc- | tion of meat producing animals and dairy products rather than in the pro- duction’ of ‘cereals for export when the war will have ceased, BRITISH GOVERNMENT HELPS PAY FOR BREAD There has been much misunder- standing about the bread program in England, It is true that the English- man buys a loaf of bread for less than an American can, but it is poorer bread, and the British government is paying $200,000,000 a year toward the. cost of it. All the grain grown in Great Brit- ain is taken over by the government at an arbitrary price and the imported wheat purchased on the markets at the prevailing market price, ‘This is turned over to the mills by the goverri- | terated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf | at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 5 | cents. In France, under conditions some- what similar, but with a larger ex- traction, the four pound ‘loaf sells for MAKING MEATLESS DAYS PERMANENT. | In the meatless menu there is a fer- tile field for developing new and nour- ishing dishes, according to E. H. Niles, writing in the Hotel “azette, who be- | lieves that the present shortage of meat and fats will not end with the | coming of peace, but may grow mure | acute and’ continue for five or six | years, thus making it worth while to | develop menus of grain, vegetables | and fish on a more or less permanent | basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals | and other protein foods, or may be) served in very small portions as a fla- voring for other food.
