SPECULATORS IN EATABLES LOSE THEIIUICENSE Virgina Wholesalers Forced Out of Business for Letting Food Spoil.

INDIAXAPOLIS. Jan. 1. Notice has been received by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, that the license of Lester Brothers, wholesale food handlers of Newport News, Va., has been withdrawn by the federal food administration as a result of a practice that is said to have been more or less general, not only in the east, but through thiB section and in Indiana permitting shipments of food stuffs to deteriorate while in freight yards, and incidentally adding to railroad congestion. The federal food administration's special Investigator, James A. Ford, developed the facts against Lester Brothers, Dr. Barnard is informed. The report says Lester Brothers "had been tempted by war conditions to speculate in essential foodstuffs, profiting by unusual demands that had arisen on account of war activities in that section." The firm ordered a car load of onions from Minneapolis, and transferred the order to a third person, who refused to carry out bis agreement, owing to his inability to sell the onions to the government The market then dropped and Lester Brothers could have disposed of the onions with small loss, but rather than do co they threw the shipment back upon the consignors. In another instance they are alleged to have refused to accept five carloads of potatoes, which were allowed to spoil. They vacillated and then insisted that the railroad had possession of the potatoes and refused delivery. The railroad proved this statement unfounded and the license of Lester Brothers was suspended and the firm is now in liquidation. British Bring Down Five Enemy Planes LONDON. Jan. 1. Five German airplanes were destroyed or put out of action by the British, who lost none of theirs.

First American captives being Here are the first pictures of American prisoners taken by the Germans since the United States troops entered the war. In the top picture German officers, at the left, are seen questioning the Sammies and taking great enjoyment out of it. The Yankee captives in front are not having such a good time. Three of them are helmeted and two are bareheaded WOMEN SUFFER FROM HUN RAID HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITAL IAN ARMY IN NORTHERN ITALY, Jan. 1. A large enemy fleet of air planes participated In the air raid over the city of Padua and nearby towns Friday night, when 13 persons were killed and 60 wounded, the majority of the latter being women. In Padua the bombs fell in public squares, near hotels, clubs and churches. and. from the manner in which the raid was carried on, unusual barbarism and personal bitterness were shown. A bright moonlight night favored the raiders, who operated over a wide area, embracing the cities of Treviso, Montebelluna, Castelfranco and Padua This squadron first appeared over Padua at 9 p. m., when a deafening bombardment fairly shook the city. Explosions began in the suburbs and gradually . approached the center of the city, where the streets, hotels and public places were filled with people. One bomb struck In the middle of the main square, opening a huge crater and killing one person and maiming many. Another struck a wing of the famous Palace of Giustiani, near the St. Antonio Church, where the body of 3t. Anthony cf Padua is buried, killing three women, one of whom happened to be of Austrian birth, and one the wife of an Italian officer who had just arrived in the city on a holiday leave. The Carmelite Church and seminary also were struck, and the oldest house in Venetia, dating from 1160, was damaged. One of the main hotels near the central square and the Anglo-American Club were rendered uninhabitable from fallen plaster. Two persons were killed outright In front of the club. A member of one of the foreign missions visiting the city while going to his lodgings stumbled over the headless body of a woman. Only 6 soldiers were among the 73 casualties. The other cities within the raided area escaped with little or no damage. Many thousands of humpback sal mon, native of the Puget Sound, where they were collected by the government two years ago, entered Pembrke, Der.nys, Penobscot, St. Croix and other rivers this autumn as part of the fisheries bureau plan of stocking the East with the pride of the Pacific cocst catch.

They are the first photos of their kind to reach this country and were published in "Weld im Blld," a German propaganda organ to illustrate a story about the capture of the American army by the kaiser's soldiers. The organ is printed in ten NEW CHIEF OF SECRET SERVICE W. H. Moran. W. H. Moran. who has been deDutv director of the United States secret service, succeeds his former chief. William J.

Doctors Hand Out Live Tips They Take the Public Into Their Confidence Prominent physicians claim people fail in life because of "nerve hunger," that it is the active, bright-eyed, strong-nerved man or woman who is "there" at work or play.. Strong, well-nourished nerves is the great secret cf success, health and happiness. Men and women try to live regardless of health, strength, ambition, energy and hope; they exceed the speed limits, wasting nerve strength and energy, and fall to store up rese'rve force, afterwards they only exist, life has no joys. Without energy, ambition, strong nerves, and pure blood one cannot hope to enjoy the fullest measure of success and happiness. A noted specialist says, ' "Phosphated Iron brings strength to the blood, nerves and brain, that is a perfect combination of vital elements of great tonic qualities when taken by 'nerve-sick humans,' that it will in. crease body and nerve energy, restore ambition and staying powers." He also says: "If you are the victim of overwork, worry, excess of mental and physical forces, have the blues, and the pleasures of life are no longer enjoyable, that you need Phosphated Iron to brace, build you up and put you on your feet again." Special Notice- To insure physi cians and their patients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we put up in capsules only, so do not allow dealers to substitute any pills or tablets.

"Cuf Out Refreshments" is Plea to ChurcH Societies and Clubs

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 31. Three i meals a day and no more, and the abandonment of the wasteful habit Of j serving refreshments at clubs, churca meetiings, sociables and the like, are conservation measures now being urged through the women's section of the Indiana State Council of Defense, and through the women members of the ninety-two county councils of de fense in Indiana. Under the instructions sent out by Dr., Harry E. Barnard, the Federal Food Administrator for Indiana, speak ing through the women's war organization, refreshments at clubs, churches, lodges and the like will be 6erved only when such refreshments actually take the place of one of the three regular meals for the day. The plan for "cutting out the refreshments" applies to the homes as well as to societies and churches. In a letter sent to the women meu bers of county councils of defense, Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, of the State Council of Defense, sets out tae demands of the .Food Administration and asks the women in the counties to Girls Object to Having Love Letters Censored LAFAYETTE. Ind., Jan. 1. Several West Lafayette young women are up in arms against Uncle Sam's system of military censorship. So are several West Lafayette young men who belong to Battery C. the local unit of a regiment of field artillery now in service in France. The reason is this: Several of the battery men have sweethearts at home and they write frequently to them. Lieutenant Flcyd W. Sense, of West Lafayette. Is the Battery C censor. He reads all "O. K." on them before they are permitted to leave the camp. What the young women object to is having Lieutenant Sense, who himself knows all about West Lafayette affairs, reading tho love letters written to them by the soldier boys. But Uncle Sam's regulations are strict and unyielding. Lieutenant Sense continues to read the love letters, or else they do not go into the mail at all. They young women say they think Lieutenant Sense might take some things for granted and not read every line their sweethearts write, for it keeps the 6oIdiers from saying things they would like to say.

see that local publicity is glveu the rules for war time conservation. The letter points out that all ham and bacon are reserved for the soldiers.and that lard must be used sparingly. It is urged that all pork be used in smaller quantities than formerly, and farmers are being asked to cut their pork ration in half. In the matter of bread, according to Mrs. Carlisle's letter to women, the Food Administration suggests that large families buy the "twin loaf," pay cash and carry the loaf home at 16 cents. Under the cash and carry plan the unwrapped ordinary loaf sells at 8 cents. The women are asked to encourage the cash and carry system and will be asked everywhere to patronize dealers who sell bread at prices fixed by the Food Administratioa.
