Invoicing is now the popular employment of clerks and bosses in a good many of the concerns of this locality. The checking up of the year's business is important, and especially so this year, when every one must know just how much money they made, if any. Word came Tuesday evening that Mr“. j. o. Boehm, of Jay City had died very suddenly. Fuller details gave it that she and some friends were on their way to church, when Mrs. Boehm complained of pains in her stomach, and concluded to return Imr n. It appears, however, that she changed her mind and started into the home of Frank Rockwood and fell dead as she was entering the gate, where her lifeless body was found shortly afterward. Arrangements have been made to hold the funeral service at the Jay City church Friday afternoon.—Geneva Herald.

into alcohol for use in connection with war industries. It is said that Germany now has 892 separate imperial laws, orders and proclamations dealing solely with the food supply and its control. There art so many prosecutions for infractions, of these law.-, reports the American Miller, that fines have become almost a part of the overhead cost of doing business in Germany. One of the greatest wastes in food is that caused by improperly construct ed refrigerator ears in which preishable fruit and vegetables are shipped. Steps are being taken to improve a standardized refrigerator car and ship perishable food under better systems of icing and temperature control. Interesting data in this line has been gathered by the department of agriculture. Fleming Silvers, of Green town- ' ship, last spring killed a wild duck ' and from its craw took a few small brown beans which he planted and they grew, and he has now- about a half tea cup of these pretty little brown beans which he has named “Wild Duck Beans.” The coming season he expects to raise enough to test their food qualities.—Portland Currier-Review. There must boa reasonable margin for conservation in ice cream, for our per capita consumption of this delicacy last year was about 2 gallons, l with a wholesale value of $3 per per-! son at the estimated price of $1.40 per gallon. Ice cream is excellent food, but in view of the need for conserving milk and cream and sugar perhaps a good many Americans could do with a little less of it. More attention than ever before i.< being paid this winter to careful use! of exhaust steam in power plants. It may be applied to innumerable purposes. heating buildings, pasteurizing and sterilizing, and the like. A small investment in additional boiler-room equipment, such as an exhaust-steam heater, will effect, savings of several hundred dollars a year in the coal bill of even a moderate sized power plant. Two yeais ago there was not a single cheese factory in the state of Montana, says the New York Produce Review, while today there are 13 in successful operation and several more ' being installed. That state has a Lteep’s-milk cheese factory oi»erated by Italians, who leased a Hock of 600 ewes and took them to mountain pasture, where they are milked twice n. day and the milk made in to about 100 pounds of cheese daily. This type of cheese, valued for Its high quality, is also made by Greek shepherds in California. Conservation methods in handling drugs are suggested to pharmacists, physicians, dentists, veterinarians, hos pital authorities and manufacturers by the I’emteylvania committee of public safety. Certain drugs are dated lor use within a given period, such as ( antitoxins and vaccines. If but one package of diphtheria antitoxin were returned by each pharmacist throughout the United States because it had lieen permitted to become out dated, al)d therefore useless. 50.000 packages would be lost. Likewise it becomes sound economy to prevent overstock-! | ing SI)0llage . leakage, and other waste tlie| .e arc 50,000 druggists tn the ,-uited Stales. 150,000 physicians and ( 150 000 veterinarians.

Mrs. Eli Girod and babe went to Ft. Wayne this morning. Dr. J. W. Vizard of Pleasant Mills was attending to business in this city this morning. Miss Vivian Burk, student at Butler college, near Indianapolis, will return Tuesday to her work. Miss Nellie Stettler, of Willshire, 0.. passed through the city this morning enroute to Fort Wayne. Miss Mayme Zellers of Mansfield, Ohio, will arrive this evening tor a New Year's visit with her sister, Mrs. Frank Barthel. Mrs. D. H. Tumbleson and child returned to Fort Wayne today after a visit here Her brother. Roy Steele, accompanied her home for a visit. Lloyd B. Archer, a soldier at Camp Taylor, is home for a few days on a furlough and is spending the vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Archer. A Kansas farmer noticed that the chickens made a stampede every mom ing for a straw stack, returning leisure ly after a few hours to lie around the yard the balance of the day too full for utterance. Investigation showed says the Flour and Grain World, that they were feasting on $2.50 wheat left by careless thrashing. He located a thrashing outfit and put the stack through the machine and sold the 150 bushels of wheat derived thereby for $425. Every farmer for miles around who heard the story began to “repan their old dumps” and clean up a few hundred dollars, much to the disgust of the chickens.

Figures compiled for the Missouri Pacific Railroad show that on 15 roads in Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana the past live years there wire killed! 121,569 head of live stock, comprising 10,236 horses and mules, 41.536 cattle, 62.561 hogs, 4,526 sheep and goats, and 2,729 other food animals. At current I market prices these animals were I worth $7,800,000, and the slaughter works out at two head per mile per year. This waste of food and draft animals is due almost entirely to lack of adequate fencing on farms, and can be remedied by better attention of owners as well as stricter laws in towns and villages prohibiting the running of animals at large. “You must get quick turnover oa your fruits and vegetables,” says the American Grocer. “Put a price on these goods that will do it. Make an appetizing display with them. Fruits and vegetables are to be eaten and should look clean and attractive. l“ut your display where anyone coming into your store will be sure of seeing and getting the apeai to buy. When talking to your customers over the phone suggest the fruit or vegetable that you have a long supply of on that day. Housewives like such hints. Thej Food Administration has said to thej housewives of the country, ’Eat more perishables.’ Tie up with the public tendency which the government cam-] paign will create. Have some ‘special’; lin this department every day. Buy | fresh, keep clean, and sell only fresh goods.” One of the greatest conservation factors in the dairy industry is found in the manufacture of powdered milk | by processes which began to come in-] |to wide use about 15 years ago. The j last available census figures for 1911 i gives the total production of powdered milk as 20,000.000 pounds a year in the United States, of which New York' state made almost half, with Wiscon-, sin second and Michigan third. Nine pounds of milk jiowder represent 100 pounds of milk, and all forms of milk, such as modified milk for infants' food? Drier milk products are in such de ] maud that this country has never had; a surplus for export. They are using it in baking, ice cream, candy and other products as well as by families,! and offer a method by which a great surplus in a perishable food staple may be turned into imperishable form and held for market. “Do not cut down the sale of luxury goods,” is the advice of the Los Angeles Commercial Bulletin to its grocer readers. “Their consumption by households that can afford them is just as important as the consumption of the less expensive merchandise”, The United States food administration has said that the largest margin for food saving exists among the 30 per cent of our well-to-do population, because 70 per cent of our people do not have a very large margin for food saving. Conservation with them means chiefly the substitution of one thing for another. Many luxury food articles within the means of well-to-do people can be pushed in the retail store to help conserve the moderate price staples needed either tor our allies or by those who can not use luxury goods. Judicious promotion of. ] sales along this line will help th' grocer carry out the true spirit of food I saving and also give him the profit I balance necessary to make up reduced .magins on some of the great staples ' which are being handled at small prof'it, as his contribution toward winning j the war.
