A DOMESTICE SCIENCE Fireless Cookstove saves 80 per cent of the fuel. It saves in the weights of the food, and it permits the use of the cheaper cuts of meat and less expensive foods, many of which are high in food value, but when cooked by the ordinary method are tough and are not palatable. To cook with a Domestic Science Fireless Caoksteove does not necessitate learning any new recipes. The operation is simplicity itself. W. J. WRIGHT

A NEW USE FOR PREST-O-LITE TANKS

Farmers in the western states have found a use for Prest-O-Lite tanks, which not long since were widely used for automobile lights, but which have been almost universally Recarded since the electric ignition became popular. They are using them on their binders and cutting oats and wheat by night. Every evening scores of these improvised headlights may be seen in the harvest fields and they are accompanied by the rattle of binders going at full speed. The popular method of attaching these lights to the binder is to put them on a length of gas pipe sufficient to raise the lamp, which is usually purloined from the out-of-date automobile, far above the driver's head. The tank is placed in various places on the machine, so as to be out of the way, and at the same time be safe from the wheels, belts or chains, and connected with the lamp by means of a small hose running through the gas pipe. The light is thrown ahead over the team and at the same time furnishes sufficient illumination for the driver to see all parts of ms binder. In case of a breakdown under the machine the lamp can be removed and placed in any position while repairs are being made. Usually the gas pipe, which is used as for the lamp, is removable and can be stuck in the position so as to throw a bright light on the part that needs attention.

WAR HINTS-HELPS-DUTIES

COMPLIED AND CONDENSED FOR THE STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE BY GEORGE ADE. Once there was a fellow who robbed his grandmother and after that he kept sinking lower and lower in the social scale until finally he wouldn't even back up his own country in time of war. Dr. Hany Barnard, food administrator for Indiana, says that the Hoosiers are a mighty cheerful lot of patriots when it comes to obeying regulations. You know, war bread tastes a good deal better if you treat it as a friend.

Keep the flag flying over the wheat bin and the sugar bin. The.state council of defense at the meeting last week adopted a resolution asking banks and trust companies to assist in protecting citizens against “wild cat” stock companies that are trying to exchange beautifully engraved certificates for Liberty Bonds. Put your government securities in some fire-proof place where moth and rust cannot corrupt nor promoters beak through and gobble. Does Germany begin to suspect that the greatest “bope-head play” in all history was to bring into the war a nation of 100,000,000 people controlling vast natural resources and saturated with latent abilities to produce and organize? Whatever the war may have cost you in money or the sacrifice of private convenience, aren't you repaid when you read that we have a million men in France and that we launched 100 ships in one day? If we ever learn to really “get together” and produce to the limit and practice economy and go after big objectives under the advice and direction of experts, what chance will Germany have, in the world markets, after the war? Whatever you do in support qf your government just now, remember that you are not only helping to fight back a murderous attack but you are laying the foundations of a new and bigger and better America.

Probably the most important discovery since Columbus landed in 1492 is the discovery by Indiana lousewives that syrup can be used nstead of sugar, even for preserving and jelling. All the meat produced this year cannot be marketed for weeks to come, so those who can stack it and postpone threshing, or those who have good tight bins and can store the grain, are asked to exercise a little patience and not expect cash returns at once. Federal Reserve banks stand ready to give financial assistance to every wheat producer until the markets can absorb the 1918 crop.

Indiana women must secure and sign certificates for their canning and preserving. All sales will be regulated by certificates except the regular three pounds per person per month for household consumption. If you live in town you can buy two pounds at a time for family use. ' If you live in the country you can get five pounds at a time. The woman who wishes to get the extra sugar for Canning purposes must tell how much sugar she has on hand and whether seh has previously obtained a supply for canning or preserving. After she gets through there won't be any secretsbetween her and the food administrator or his deputy. She cannot have the sugar delivered to her until this official has put his O. K. on j

NOTICE TO MAIL SUBSCRIBERS.

On and after thia date the yearly subscription to the Evening Republican will be $5 per year, payable in advance.

Hereafter the Daily will only be sent by mail to those paying their subscription in advance and statements will be sent to all in arrears and unless their delinquency is paid the paper will be discontinued. CLARK A HAMILTON. July 10, 1918.

NEWSPRINT SUPPLY SHORT; PUBLISHERS ORDERED TO SAVE

With the idea of conserving newsprint and eliminating all waste, the government has issued a drastic order to newspaper publishers, a copy of which was received by the Republican. The order prohibits publishers from giving copies of their paper away to any person. The age-old custom of publishers exchanging papers is abolished and not more than one copy may be given to an . advertiser. Sample copies and free promotion copies are also forbidden. Less newsprint is being manufactured and the situation is becoming so acute that the United .States government has deemed this .step necessary. • .

WAR SUMMARY.

The world war situation has within .the last twenty-four hours assumed a much more encouraging aspect for the allies, who have seized the initiative in the Balkans, are ready for .the expected offensive in northern Italy, and who, apparently, by a series of vigorous attacks, have confused the German plans for the fifth offensive of the year on the west front. It has long been a subject of dispute among allied generals whether a serious mistake had not been made by failure to advance the line in the Balkans. After the seizure of Saloniki, when Gen. Serrail of the .French forces was in command, the entente had approximately 1,000,000 men in this sector. But for some reason or other—possibly the lack of transport—no offensive was undertaken, and the allies witnessed, first Serbia, then Roumania, crushed under the Prussian heel. Generals favoring an advance from Saloniki asserted that victory in this region would split pan-Germany and weaken the west front. At last action seems to have been decided on and a mixed force in Albania is now advancing on a 100mile front, penetrating at points to a depth of ten to fifteen miles. The battle extends from the Adriatic Sea to Monastir. One thousand three hundred Austrain prisoners already have been counted and villages and strategic points captured which render absolutely safe the whole Macedonian field of the allies. How many troops the entente has in this theatre cannot be stated. It is known, however, that the Italians number no fewer than half a million. On the west front the French, southeast of Mpntdidier, have advanced a mile on a two and a half mile front. The gain*. increase greatly the safety of Compiegne, rail gate to Paris, which was the objective of the last German drive. Tanks supported the infantry and 530 .Germans were taken prisoner. This attack, which was west of Antheuil, west of the Oi*e and north of River Matz, considered in conjunction with the half dozen or more sharp blows previously struck by the British, French and Americans, means that the Germans have been deprived of much of their initiative. Each attack was to take from the enemy a “jumping off place” for the expected . great offensive. Success in each instance is believed to have confused German plans, hence the delay in beginning the offensive.

the order. The new regulations are in effect in every state. If some one saves that “over in Illinois they’re getting all the sugar they want,” just go over to Illinois and try to get it We are eating twice as much cheese as we were a year ago. In the British army, cheese has been approved as an admirable substitute for meats. . Mr. Hoover will not scold you if you eat cheese.

DELIGHTS AUDIENCE

MISS ELIZABETH FYFFE GIVES SPLENDID VIOLIN RECITAL LAST EVENING. Those most competent to judge pronounce the violin recital given at the Methodist church Tuesday evening by Miss Elizabeth Fyffe, of Boston, one of the very best musical programs ever given in this city. The selections executed by Miss Fyffe were highly classical and she proved to her audience that she is an artist of rare ability. Everyone of her selections were received by the audience with enthusiastic applause and were especially enjoyed by the music lovers of the assembly. Mrs. M. D. Gwin at the piano and organ assisted very pleasantly as an accompanist of Miss Fyffe. Solos by Mrs. Loren Sage and Mrs. Harold Barnes were a most enjoyable part of the program. The latter part of the evening’s program was the community singing led by Dr. W. L. Myer. Dr. Myer sang the verses of the Old Folks at Home and There’s A Long, Long Trail with the audience assisting in the chorus.

Jesse D. Allman sang Keep The Home Fires Burning and Wilda Littlefield sang Over There, with the audience assisting in the choruses. The meeting closed with the audience singing heartily the Star Spangled Banner with Dr. Myer leading. Those who were not able to appreciate fully the classical part of the program were elegantly entertained by the community singing. The gross proceeds of the entertainment which goes to the Red Cross amounted to $62.50. The expense will be very small.

HOW TO FIND YOUR STAR.

S. Cldry, in St. Nicholas. The stars in the blue union of our flag stand for the states of the Union, one star for each state. You know this, but perhaps you do not know that each star represents its own individual state, and its position on the square of blue is carefully and definitely regulated by laiw and executive order. On October 26, 1912, the executive order of President Taft concerning the flag was made, and it provided for the specific arrangement of the stars. They were to be arranged .in six horizontal rows of eight stars each, starting from the upper lefthand corner, each row running from left to right, the star corresponding to each state being named in the order in which the states ratified the Constitution. Thus, star No. 1, in the upper lefthand corner, is for Delaware; star No. 48, in the lower right-hand corner, is of Arizona. The following will show at a glance which star is that of your state: First row: 1, Delaware; 2, Pennsylvania; 3, New Jersey; 4, Georgia; 5, Connecticut; 6, Massachusetts; 7, Maryland; 8, South Carolina.

GERMAN SHELLS CAN’T STOP Y. M. C. A. WORK

Chicago, July 10. —Examples of conspicuous bravery on the part of Y. M. C. A. workers with the American troops in France are contained : n private reports just received here from abroad and made public today »y the central department war work council of the Y. M. C. A. Shrapnel, gas, machine gun fire and various other forms of German attack have been withstood by the workers within recent days in order to serve the men along the firing line. . , For heroism displayed in assisting French troops and rescuing French refugees while under heavy shell fire, Edwin W. Ely, of New York, xas just been decorated unofficially with the French war cross, it is stated. Other red triangle workers lave been recommended for citations for exemplary conduct in the recent fight at Xivray. Charles R. Patterson, of Alberta, Canada, and Homer Toulon, of Philadelphia, are said to have kept a Y. M. C. A. tent in operation under a German attack in which their equipment was destroyed and they suffered from gas and shell shock. A group of secretaries among whom was Benton Johnson, of Detroit, joined the stretcher bearers and carried out wounded men under fire or stood at the entrance of dressing stations under atack and gave wounded soldiers drinks and lighted cigarettes. In many instances physicians say the Y. M. C. A. workers gave the wounded men the necessary stimulus to save their lives. Miss Edith Prescott, a Y. M. C. A. canteen worker operating in the Toul sector, was informed that shell fire made it too dangerous for her to remain, but she prevailed upon the military authorities to hold up the order and she is still reported to be on the job.
