Soldiers who fought against Spain in 1898 lost la weight oa an average of 23 pounds each; the average American soldier at the end of the fighting In 1918 weighed twelve pounds more than he did when the selective service act or his own volition brought him Into the army.

Thus the success won by the army s subsistence branch in the great war is epitomised in chapters of the official war "material" history made public today by the War Department The food problem of an army of 3,700,000 Americans is visualised In the history by considering the force as a single man and the entire war period as one dinner hour. Articles comprised In the army ration assumed these tremendous totals: Roast beef. 800,000,000 pounds; bar con, 150,000,000 pounds; flour (bread), l.OOO.OOO.OCO pounds; butter, 17,500 000; olemargarlne, 11,000,000; baked beans 150,000,000 pounds; potatoes. 487,000,000 pounds; onions, 40.000.000 pounds; corn, beans andypeas, 150.O0(M)00 cans; tomatoes. 190.000.000 cans; prunes, peaches and apples (for dessert), 107.000,000 cans, sugar, 350,000,000 pounds; coffee, 75.000.000 pounds, evaporated milk, 200,000,000 cans.

(10 MORE EXCUSE FOR VIOLATORS OF AUTOMOBILE LAW

Although offenders were dismissed Saturday morning in city court. Mayor Zimmerman announced that after June 1. no excuse will be accepted from automobile drivers who have not the licenses or lights required by law. "It seemed to me unfair to fine men

for this offence, who had good ex

cuses, for practices which have been

unchecked." said the mayor, "but

with the warnings that have been giv

en, no excuse should be needed after June 1." "After that date, therefore, the police have been Instructed to arrest in every instance of violation. To be brought before me on this charge will be considerably more expensive than to replace a license plate or lay your

COMPLETION OF K. OF P. TEMPLE II0PEDBY FALL Work is Progressing Rapidly on $75,000 Home for Local Lodge.

Work is progressing rapidly on tbe

new home of the Knights of Pythias,

an imposing $75,000 building under

construction between and A streets on

the east side of South Eighth street

This building' is supplanting the .old temple, which was originally a church and which stood . on the site pf the

present building for over 25 years as the home of the Richmond K. of P. The first building was bought by the

local lodges following a fire which partially demolished the church. It was remodeled at this time. A year

ago last September work on the. new i 1 1 -i : i . i . ,

uuiiaiag was ueguu. n is expected that the entire structure will be finished and the building ready for occupancy some time early next fall.

The architecture of the new building Is plain but attractive, and the inside finishing promises to be an unusually handsome mahogany. The building is four stories high including beside complete lodge rooms, for both the main lodge and the women's order, of Pythian Sisters, banquet hall, kitchen, committee rooms, uniform rank room on the top floor, three floors given over to offices and sales rooms. Many Office Suites. On the third floor four office suites are located. Back of these is a large storage room disposal of which has not been decided upon. The second floor is entirely offices, with fifteen or more suites. One large sales room composes the first floor.

None of the office rooms have been rented yet but it is thought that when they are put on the. renting list they will be taken quickly because of their

location and other desirable features.

Iola, Triumph, and Coeur d'Lion lodges will be located in -the new home. Lodge meetings are held three times a week. The Pythian Sisters, meet every other Wednesday. Elaborate plans are in the minds of a committee appointed not long to consider the dedication of the building when It may be completed. These plans will, of course, not be completed until next fall, but the committee

says Impressive services will be held then.

Planes Used To Detect Mines In North Sea (By Associated Press) LONDON, May 24. Sweeping up the thousands of mines which strew the seas in the neighborhood of the British Isles has proved such a costly and dangerous Job when carried on by the ordinary methods, that the admiralty hos turned to the airship, for relief. Experiments conducted in the North Sea, it is announced, have been succesful, mines being located and exploded much quicker than when tbe usual mine-sweeping ship is used. While the airship has the advantage of height in locating mines, the mere fact that an airship cannot hit a mine adds so much to the elements of safety that it Is expected that much of the 6,000 miles of 'mine strewn waters which remain will be cleared without loss of life. .

been established," Director General of Railroads Hines announced last night he had awarded to six manufacturers contracts for supplying 20Q.000 tons of open, hearth steel rails at a uniform price of 147 per ton. The companies to which the orders go are the Carnegie Steel Co., tbe Illinois Steel Co., and the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.. all subsidiaries of the United States Steel Corporation; the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., tbo Bethlehem Steel Co., and the Lackawanna Steel Co, : , The price at which the orders were placed was the same fixed by the recently dissolved industrial board of the department of commerce in which the railroad administration refused to concur.

LONDON, May 24 Curing nerve

shattered soldiers through their dreams Is the latest experiment of the

British army medical corps, and Ac

cording to Captain M. Culpin, it Is

succeeding beyond all expectations. "In the method I adopt." Dr. Culpin says, "the patient relates the dream to me. I question him about it and it the underlying memory is not deeply blurred this questioning may recall It, and it is only necessary to insist upon the man talking about the incident. , "Next I make the patient close bis eyes and visualize the dream, and I try to ascertain what particular feature causes emotion. By dwelling on this feature I induce an emotional state and assure him that he felt like that before and that memory is , coming up. "When success is attained there is a sudden change of facial expression or even an access of terror, ,.-By this I know I have reached the true cause of the dream. The merest scrap of a dream suffices.

Many users make tbe mistake of "saving" f 10 or ?15 Tn the first cost of a cream separator. More of them continue the use of an inferior or half-worn-out machine simply because it still separates. They fail to realize what a very little difference means in the use of a cream separator twice a day every day, in the year, and what a difference it makes in first cost whether a machine Jasts three or fifteen years. There is no question but that the De Laval is Superior to all other separators. Come In let us show you. :
