TO PROTECT ITS. IN PROCURING WAR mERIALS Review of AH Army Contracts Provided n New System of War Department. WASHINGTON. July 17. With the co-operation of the Department of Justice, the War Department is putting into effect-a system of control designed tp protect the government in the procurement of all war materials. . The new system, the War Department announced today, provides for a

review of every contract by Boards of

control, the centralizing of purchases of each com mod Ivy in a single bureau, the standardization of contract clauses,

a dally fiscal survey and also for public information in War Department needs.

Operation of this plan is expected to remedy the conditions revealed by the recent attest of contingent fee agents and the raiding of offices of manufacturers over the country. The agents, it was charged, received laree fees for

procuring government contracts for

manufacturers, the fees being added to the price paid by the Kovernment.

The manufacturers contended they were obliged to deal through the agents because there was such a du

plicity of government bureaus and de

partments they did not know where to make applications for war. orders. The General Staff recently ordered that except in cases of immediate necessity, no contracts should be made with sales agents, but direct with man-

unuuieri or jooDers carrying tne ..stocks needed. In addition to this pre-

mv.w., j-zepew i in eui. n announce ment said, steps have been taken in

conjunction with the War Industries Iloard to mobilize the industries of the country behind the needs of the War

uepartment.

Director of French Newspaper Executed For Treasonable Actions

fBy Associated Press) PARIS, July 17, (Havas Agency) M. Duval, director of the Germanophile newspaper Bonnet Rouge, was executed early today for treasonable actions against the government. The execution was carried out promptly at 5 o'clock in the forest of Vlncennes. The condemned man died almost instantly when the command was given.

The execution f M. Duval is the second growing out of the German propaganda of "Bololsm" or "defeatism" in France. The first to face the firing squad was Bolo Pasha. Soon after his execution the trial of Duval and six other defendants was begun. Trial Be-i-n April 28 The trial of Duval and his associates began on April 28 and concluded May 15, with the death sentence being imposed upon Duval and the six others being given prison terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. Among the others convicted were M. Marion, assistant manager of the Bonnet Rouge, and Jean Leymari, former director of the ministry of the interior. Early in 1914, the newspaper Bon

net Rouge, was established with Miguel Almereyda as its editor. After the outbreak of the war the newspaper published attacks on the French gov

ernment and otherwise aided German propaganda. The newspaper was sup

pressed last summer and its suppression brought about the resignation of Louis J. Malvy, minister of the interior. On the resulting wave of political

turmoil, Georges Clemenceau came

back into power. Almereyda was . arrested and died

mysteriously in prison under circum

stances pointing to suicide. Duval was

accused of taking money from German

bankers, obtaining it in Switzerland,

where he went with passports given him by the ministry of the interion. In addition to Malvy, another prom

inent French politician, Joseph Caillaux, was mentioned in connection

with the Bonnet Rouge case. Malvy, on Tuesday was brought before the

French senate, sitting as a high court, to answer a charge of treason. Caillaux is in prison awaiting trial.

lng trial, has written to Paul Deschanel, president of the hamber of deputies, renewing his request that the government hasten his trial on charges of communicating with the enemy. The former premier complains of "certain falsifications In telegrams," probably . alluding to those sent by Count Von Bernstorff, former German ambassador to the United States to a German agent in Argentina. M." Caillaux adds: "I shall have occasion soon to enlighten my colleagues in regard to the police machinations ' to which men have sunk and are sinking In an effort to reach me."

Badly picked chickens cause money losses to packers, and the importance of proper picking is comparatively as great to the owner of a small flock whose picking is done only for the family table. Torn skins, "burnt" wings and legs due to continued and rough stripping, pin feathers that show discolored necks because the neck feathers were pulled first instead of last all these things can be prevented by proper picking. Much loss results from "roughing" when the quills and most of the soft feathers are removed. The new feathers, pins and down remaining should be removed by the "tipper" or "pinner." Proper baining is essential to easy dry picking it makes dry picking as easy as "scalding." Steps in Picking. The following paragraphs explaining the steps in picking are numbered to correspond with the sketches in the picture, reading from left to right: No. 1. The picking shackle, made of galvanized wire one-eighth inch in diameter, is suspended by a cord. With the feet in the shackle the wings of the bird should be level with your elbows. No. 2. As soon as the throat vein is cut and the brain punctured, grasp the wings in the left hand, being sure not to clasp the neck. Grasp the tail with the. right, hand thumb down then turn the wrist and twl3t out the feathers as the fist turns upward. No. 3. Pull the large wing feathers next. Hold the hand with the thumb upward. Grasp as many feathers as you can in one hand. Jerk them out with a sharp, quick downward movement. One grab for small birds two for large. No. 4. Now for the breast and sides. Begin at the wishbone Take large handfuls. Seize the feathers with the whole fist, thumb upward. Pull up and out, twisting the forearm outward. No. 5. Work up to the thighs, taking large fistful of feathers and be

ing sure to pull upward and twist the

forearm outward. It's the twist that turns the trick and prevents torn

skins. Do one side first, then the other.

No. 6. Hhe legs come next. Clasp

the leg firmly at its base. Keep the

thumb upward. Move the closed hand

along the leg, pressing hard enough to strip tho feathers. Be sure to work in the direction of the feather setting and strip only once! Feathers left

must be pulled.

No. 7. As the shackle holds the legs

apart, it's easy to slip the hand betwen them to pull the 60ft body feath

ers. Pull up, and toward the body of

the picker.

No. 8. The trick In removing the back and hip feathers is to grasp the

feathers with the palm of the , hand

outward, and then rotate the forearm inward. This makes a sort of scraping

motion, and out come the feathers.

No. 9. In the picture is a hand in

the act of scraping. . Do you see the way the forearm is turned inward? Pull out the little feathers between the shoulders with thumb and forefinger. No. 10. Now is the time to strip the neck. Clasp the neck, thumb upward, around the base. Strip by sweeping downward. Sometimes two sweeps are needed one on the upper, the other on the lower half of the neck. Any feathers left must be picked out. No. 11. Great care must be taken with the small wing feathers, especially near the body. Stretch the wing as 6hown. Pick the mediumsized, soft feathers on the broad surfaces in small bunches with the thumb and forefinger. If the bunches are too large the skin will be torn. No. 12. Hold the wing in a vertical position with the thumb and forefinger pinching the second joint from the body. With thumb and forefinger moving downward against the feather setting remove the small feathers on edges and web. The stiff feathers and fans are pulled one at a time by bending sharply downward and jerking quickly.

PROTEST SURCHARGE IN INSURANCE RATE

At a meeting of the executive committee of the State Chamber of Commerce a committee was appointed to investigate insurance surcharge and other insurance matters. The com

mittee appointed consists of A. V. Burch, chairman, vice president and

general manager of the Blount Plowj Works, Evans ville; S. E. Swayne, of

tne Bwayne-noDinson Co.; ana snaron E. Jones, of the Hardware Mutuals and efficiency expert of the Indiana Retail Hardware Dealers' Association, Indianapolis. Jones was formerly a Richmond man. This committee has consulted state officials and has arrived at the conclusion that the surcharge is unjust and should not be paid. The surcharge places a 10 per cent increase on the cost of -fire insurance and was placed by Stock Fire Insurance companies doing business in Indiana. It does not apply to farmers but to city and town business only. War conditions, income tax, excess profits tax and general increase in the cost of doing business were given as

tne reason for this increase in rates. The committee is striving to find a plan that will meet the emergency, but in the meantime is - anxious to

have the people of Indiana realize that this surcharge means sending more than one million dollars of Indiana money to outside companies for which Indiana receives no return whatsoever.

Meatless Days to Be Abolished in France

(By Associated Press.) PARIS, July 17. The abolition of meatless days in France after July 20 is ordered in a decree issued today.

Shortage of meat in France caused the food ministry on last April 26 to order three meatless days a week. On May 14 a meat card system went into effect, but it is probable the present decree does not affect this system.

Big 4 Agent Brings His Wife Mr. H. E. Ritter, Big Four Agent at Farmland, Ind., Brings His Wife to the Inter-State Doctors.

Mrs. H. E. Ritter, of Farmland, had suffered for months with gall stone cholic and pains. Her family doctor was giving her hypodermic injections to relieve pain and advised an operation. Her husband had heard of the

work being done by the Inter-State Doctors, those expert medical specialists, whose Richmond institute ia located on the second floor of the Starr block, corner Tenth and Main streets, and decided to take her to them as a last resort. .She began their treatment a month ago, and improved so fast that today she is practically a well woman and tells of her suffering so others may be benefited. "Farmland, Ind., Nov. 6, 1916. "Dear Doctor: "I have been doctoring for a year with home doctors for gall stones and was advised that an operation was the only thing that would save my life. I had such terrible misery in the region of my stomach, I vomited every other night continuously for about a month. I would begin vomiting about 9 o'clock, vomit all night and in the morning would be weak and completely worn out. I got so bad that the doctors gave me nothing but hypodermics to relieve my awful agony. I was sick at the stomach almost constantly. Didn't know what it was to eat a square meal. My husband was so worried, and not knowing what to do for me, he was almost wild himself. Finally I heard how the Inter-State Doctors had relieved gall stone cases with medicine. So we determined to try you, and it was the best day's work I ever done when my husband took me over to your office, October 9. We have been treating with you for one month and during this time I have not had an attack. My misery is all gone and I feel like a new woman. But I expect to continue another month's treatment In order to tone up my system. Have not been sick at my stomach nor suffered pains since the first week's treatment Your treatment has surely been a God send to me, as I was in despair and feared an operation. My husband is telegraph operator at the Big Four at Farmland and we are well known, as we have lived here twenty-three years, and would freely advise the sick to go to your office. MRS. H. E. RITTER. These specialists have four institutions in Indiana, viz: Muncie, Marion, Richmond and Wabash, where the same treatment can be obtained for this dreadful malady. No charge is ever made for consultation and examination, only curable cases are accepted. Doctor Culver, the Head Physician, is treating cases at e Richmond office every Friday from 9. a. m. to 8 p. m. Office over Starr Piano Store,
