SEND KITCHEN TO SAN FRANCISCO Model Designed to Illustrate Principles of Interest to Wives That Visit the Fair. A complete kitchen with a real stove, refrigerator, sink, work-table and other necessaries is being sent by the department of agriculture to San Francisco for the fair. This kitchen is not a "model" in the sense that every housewife is to try to make hers as nearly like it as possible, but is rather a composite of many possible model kitchens which is designed to illustrate various essential principles of convenient kitchen arrangement. The American housewife, for whose special benefit the model has been constructed, must judge from it what appliances and improvements in arrangement will best fit her peculiar household needs—and those of her purse. One general idea emphasized by the department's San Francisco-bound kitchen is that the size of the ordinary kitchen should be small rather than large if the room is to be used only for the preparation of the meals. It should be as compact as possible to save traveling back and forth. The stove, table, and sink should be as near together as is convenient, and the distances to supplies and the dining room or pantry should be short On the floor of the model room the distances most commonly traveled in preparing and serving meals are indicated by straight lines. "The fewer ornaments the better in a housewife's workshop" is the text of another lesson of this little exhibit. Corners are rounded; surfaces are plain; there are as few moldings as possible to catch dirt which must be removed with si much effort. One feature is a table with legs that may be raised or lowered to suit the height of the worker. The refrigerator, as it stands, would never in the world recommend itself to any thrifty housewife, for one part of it is lined with solid porcelain, another enameled steel, another with zinc painted with enamel paint, and another with unpainted zinc. How ever, this refrigerator preaches a sermon of its own, for the advantages and disatvantages of each particular lining are explained in label attached. Each woman who reads may look for what suits her own refrigerator, and housewives from the North or from the South, from a high, dry region or a low, moist region may each decide which feature is most adaptable for her own use and pocketbook. A stew kettle is shown in several common materials in the model kitchen, but no particular make is recommended. The aim is to show sauce pans or kettles made of steel, aluminum, enamelware, copper, and earthenware, and descriptive labels explains how each material excels in its own way, and its disadvantages. On the walls of the model are shown samples of the more common floor coverings and wall finishes with labels setting forth the relative merits and drawbacks of each Linoleum and oil cloth have their strong points, and so have tinted, painted and undressed wall surfaces. Varnished wall paper is good for some purposes, and unvarnished for others. Once more German fohesight has broken down.

SERGEANT HEANEY LIVES SHORT TIME After Being Promoted Lieutenant and Recommended for Distinguished Conduct Medal. LONDON, Dec. 26. (By mail to New York.)—Among the many heroes of the war who have been struck down before they had a chance to enjoy the reward of their bravery, was Sergeant Heaney, of the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, who was killed in action two days after being promoted lieutenant and recommended for the distinguished conduct medal, for an exploit which saved an entire division. The Royal Lancasters have been continuously in the firing line since the outbreak of the war, and with every man performing prodigies of valor it was difficult to single out particular acts of courage. Heaney's chance came one day, when the situation as regards food supplies for his division was becoming desperate. For ten whole days the roads from the trenches to the supply depot had been rendered impassable by the hall of shells rained upon by the enemy, and no fresh provisions could be got to the troops in the troops in the firing line. Heaney went to his major and ofered to take the wagons through the rain and shells and bring back food He did not say he would try. He said he would go and fetch the provisions The major said "impossible," and when he persisted, "sheer madness." Nevertheless the sergeant was allowed to take a few comrades, and with the wagons he set off down the shell tor ntrack. Four miles separated the trenches from the depot, and every yard of the way there and back lay under a devastating fire, but Heaney got through and brought back provisions with a loss of only two horses killed and one man wounded. He was promoted to lieutenant on the spot, and recommended for the D. C. M. but two days later he was killed in action at Ie Troquet. Staff officers declare that he undoubtedly saved the division from capture or annihilation. "It's fine to be in the Coldstreams, but you don't necessarily care about living in the cold streams," writes A. K. Hammond, of the Coldstream Guards, describing 23 awful days his regiment spent in the trenches. "Not a man cared a tinker's cuss for the German shells and bullets, but to stand for days—twenty-three to be exact—at a stretch in water, not only up to your ankles, but more often above your knees, takes a lot of stuffing out of you. "We dropped into a terrible place a month ago. No matter whether it was fine or wet, the water kept trickling into the trenches. As fast as we tried to drain our trenches they filled up again with water that oozed through the hillside. Life in these trenches has been damnable; out it is marvelous what one can get used to when pushed. Officers were tired the same as ourselves and as they took it as part of the game, we did likewise. Our officer has re-christened the battalion. He has named us the 'amphibious brigade,' and says when he gets home he will back up against any battalion in the British army, or any other army, for feats of endurance under any condition anyone likes to name. You can take it from me that our officers, many of whom I am sorry to say have gone under have performed worders, and there is not a man in the whole brigade of guards but what would readily admit that all the hardships the men have endured SAVED FROM SWORD OF MOSLEM FIENDS Thrilling Lecture of Trip to the "Holy Land" by the Rev. Prettyman. How a simple little song, memorized in his boyhood days, saved him from death at the sword points of a horde of Mohammedan outlaws, who captured him, when he was lost from his party of brother uilgrims, while touring the "Holy Land" will be but one of the many thrilling incidents that will be related by Rev. Forrest J. Prettyman, chaplain of the United States senate, who will deliver a lecture in Trinity M. E. church, south, here on the night of Thursday, January 28. Rev. Prettyman, who will be remembered by all our older citizens as a former pastor of the local church in which he is to appear on this occasion, was one of a party of several members sent out some months ago by The Washington Post, who toured the "Holy Land." In his lecture Rev. Prettyman tells of how his Moslem captors stood over him with drawn swords, ready at the word of command to take his life, and when in the stress of mental strain in this moment, how strangely there came to his mind the words of a Mohammedan song, memorized when he was a child, and thinking to allay their passion and hatred against the Christian, with tremulous voice he repeated them. Strangely affected by these words, his captors released him, and in time he was able to rejoin his brother pilgrims. He is a forceful and pleasing talker and this thrilling incident is but one of the many that befell the tourists of which he will tell. Apart from this his lecture will be replete with interesting historical and Biblical facts of the sacred land of the east—the birthplace of the Saviour. The lecture, which will be made especially effective in film scenes, will cover very fully every part of the "Holy Land," and will be not only intensely interesting, but powerfully instructive.

Private O'Keefe, of the Connaught Rangers, carries a German letter of introduction which should procure him good treatment if he ever fell in to the hands of the Kaiser's troops. O'Keefe was one of a detachment of the Connaughts operating near Ypres and endeavoring to catch a body of Germans who were sheltering behind a farm. Within the farmhouse itself were two of the officers, and O'Keefe decided to get them out. He dashed up to the door, exposed for 200 yards to a furious rifle fire, and demanded the instant surrender of the astonished Germans as a preliminary to peace. As they refused O'Keefe shot one of them, took the other prisoner, and brought him back to the regiment. The prisoner was so moved by the man's reckless courage that he wrote a note in German in his captor's pay-book, urging any German who should have the luck to capture O'Keefe to "give the best treatment to a brave man who saved my life." From his colonel, O'Keefe, got a mild reprimand for foolhardiness. PROGRESS SHOWN IN RURAL SCHOOLS Some Interesting Data Found in Report of State Supervisor L. J. Hanifan. Steady progress sall along the line of rural school improvements marked the years 1912-13-14, according to L. J. Hanifan, state supervisor of rural schools. A brief report of the work of the rural schools, together with some comments and recommendations relative to their further improvement, is contained in the twenty-first biennial report of the state department of free schools, now in the hands of the printer being prepared for submission to the legislature. Except in an occasional district here and there, where local conditions made progress impossible, there has been a forward movement towards better things for the country youth of West Virginia, Prof Hanifan says: "Not a single county," he declares, "has failed to do something that would indicate a spirit of progress among its teaching force and among its citizens as well. If we consider the state as a whole, there can be no doubt that the work of the rural schools has been decidedly better that during any preceding biennial period of the state's history" Earmarks of Growth. Some earmarks of the growth of efficiency of the rural schools of the state are enumerated by Supervisor Hanifan, as follows: Aroused public sentiment, faithfulness of teachers to their work, increased attendance of our teachers upon our Normal schools and the summer school of the state university, increased school attendance, improved physical conditions of buildings and grounds, increase of school funds raised by individual districts, voting of bonds and special levies, the building of better school houses, the possession of larger school grounds, improved supervision of the schools, and community social meetings. "If we may judge by these things we cannot doubt that there have been notable and substantial rural school improvements," he comments. It is pointed out, though, that rural school progress in West Virginia comes by counties and, more particularly, by districts or individual schools, and while certain counties have made very substantial improvements, other counties, perhaps, have made very little advancement educationally during the past two years. "But," Prof. Hanifan says in his report, "although the sum total of improvements outweighs the stagnation or poverty of many districts, we should not forget the often repeated proverb: 'No chain is stronger than its weakest link.' So long as a single country boy or girl is deprived of the opportunity to acquire at least an elementary education, just so long will true American democracy have failed to realize its ideal in rural West Virginia." The rural schools need more money. This is emphasized in Prof. Hanifan's report. "We cannot expect to provide good rural schools unless we first have more money," he says. "Good schools cost money, just as a good article of any kind costs more than a poorer grade article. Are we willing to pay the price? If not, we had as well quit talking about the inefficiency of our rural schools. It is pointed out that taking the state as a whole, West Virginia spends $11,000 a year per child of school age. Thirty-two other states VOL. 33 NO. 47. FREE TEXT BOOK BILL TO BE URGED Those Interested In Education Will Push the Measure—Federation of Labor Behind I. Senator Ben L. Rosenbloom in the senate and Delegate Harry Weiss in the house will introduce early in the session a free text bill as advocated by the State Federation of Labor. The bill is identical with bills which the federation has advocated in other states and will probably be very similar to other bills covering the same subject which will find their way into the legislative grist mill before the session is very far advanced. The Rosenbloom-Weiss bill in section three prescribes that all text books to be used in the public schools shall be printed under the direction and authority of the state superintendent of schools and delivered to the boards of education of the political division of the state in suscient numbers for the free distribution to each pupil of each public school. Under the terms of section 5 the counties would pay to the state for the text boks, based upon the actual cost of production, with the additional cost of administration. The bill also requires the state superintendent to have the text books copyrighted. The bill also provides that a sum sufficient to put into operation the provisions of the law shall be appropriated. Several cities in the state are now furnishing text books to the pupils in their public schools, Wheeling and Parkersburg being two of the cities. In other states, Pennsylvania being one, a large proportion of the cost of furnishing free text books is borne by the state through a special fund raised in various ways. NO HORSES FROM NEBRASKA FOR WAR NO HORSES FROM NEBRASKA FOR WAR LINCOLN, Neh., Jan. 18.—"No horses for the European war" is the slogan of the farmers of at least one county in Nebraska. The farmers of Jefferson county are refusing to sell any animals to contractors who are acting for the warring nations. "Let the war-crazed Europeans fight their own battles," said one of them, and apparently he voiced the sentiment held by many. "None of us need money so badly that we must let the Europeans have our dumb brutes to be used for targets for artillerymen and riflemen." The attitude of the farmers was brought out strongly recently when Bud White, a Topeka, Kansas, horsebuyer, advertised extensively for horses and mares for cavalry and artillery purposes abroad. The buyer announced that he would be at the Rairbury, Neb., livery barn rain or shine and would buy and not invoice. He did not do either as he had no chance. No no horses showed up for the sale and he was compelled to depart without making a single purchase. spend more per child than West Virginia does. This $11.00 per child includes the cities, whereas the average amount spent per country child is considerably less. "We should remember that the larger cities all support first class high schools and have nine-month terms. Still we should not forget that the rural youth has a right to these same school advantages, even though he happens to live in the country," Prof. Hanifan declares.

Memory is a terrible thing to those whose deeds are black. Like Banquo's ghost they will not down. Love(?) and hatred have hugged and kissed in this city through tribery and perjury. The day of reckoning is rapidly coming and our transgressors must suffer. Withered be the hand of a teeheeing, and tittering libertine. Sure as there is a just God, so sure is the most dangerous man in any community the one who pollutes the stream of a young girl's life. But after all, "men are what their mothers make them." "When they come forth from their mothers' wombs, the gate of gifts closes behind them." Never, during our 28 years in law—and we have had many cases, have we won one that was more victorious and glorious, than that of Geo. W. Wolfe, white, against James Harris, colored. Never in any case before, have we felt so grateful to God for his aid, and on going home we bowed in devout prayer and thanked Him. He and I are winners in the right against wrong. The case has been up and in courts since last February and much of our time has been taken by it, but not one penny did we charge the poor old honest N*gro. Another good thing, Berkeley County has not a few of as good a set of men as can be found anywhere. But the jury that gave a verdict for Harris was composed of christian gentlemen, who would not stultify their oaths. We shall arrange their names as nicely as it can be done by type, frame them and hang same on the wall of our study, and if desired, send copies to all the jurors. What a strange class of people in this country. It must make angels bow in shame and God look off into space from this land, when Southern white men whose father's father's father's debased colored women, and sons of them all, followed their example, and are still at it, to hear the present day congressmen from that section, where it is almost impossible to find a genuine black man. Indeed they have carried it on so long the rub comes in in a different way, for it is hard to tell who is who, or which is which in color. Only a few days ago a white man shot a colored man down in the streets, and told the policeman the reason he shot him, he was walking with his wench. In the face of it all, a law was passed last week making it a crime of punishment by fine and imprisonment for colored and white to marry in the District of Columbia—and it aims to punish any and all couples so paired off legally in other states who will dare visit the National Capital. When they do that they are making laws to degrade their own sons and daughters by black women, and fifty per cent of them are as white, or pale as are those cracker law makers. What about Alexander Hamilton—he was a Negro. And Vice President Johnson, of Kentucky, had a colored woman as common law wife, lived with her in Washington; took her to church, theatres, etc. Marrying, as we see it, is a matter for two persons to settle, and it is nobody's business but theirs, if they are sane in mind, sound in body and industrious. Howeyer, the rabid Negro hating South has so fixed it in nature that if some fool is so crazy about marrying a white woman he can do so anywhere, by marrying a so called colored woman white as any white woman, and at the same time marry one called "nigger" in his own race. TWO OATHS, EXPLANATION, EXCORIATION. OATH No 1. State of West Virginia, Berkeley County, to wit: The examination on oath of Lillie Smith, an unmarried woman, taken before me, J. H. Lloyd, a Justice of the said County, on this the 16th day of January, 1915, the said Lillie Smith, being by me duly sworn, deposes and says, that she is an unmarried woman, who has resided in the county for one year next preceding this date; that on May 16, 1914, she was delivered of a female bastard child and that Fred. K. Ramer, of said county, is the father of said child, against the peace and dignity of the State, and the said Lillie Smith therefore, prays that the said Fred. K. Ramer may be apprehended and held to answer the said complaint, and dealt with in relation thereto as the law may require. Dated this 16th day of January, 1915. Berkeley County to wit. 16th day of January 1915 the said Lillie Smith made oath to the truth of the foregoing complaint before me. J. H. Lloyd, Justice of the Peace. OATH NO.2. State of West Virginia, Berkeley County, to wit: Before Justice Lloyd. To the Honorable J. H. Lloyd: I hereby desire to withdraw the affidavit and complaint against Fred K. Ramer as to his being the father of my child, which was filed on last Saturday, the 16th day of January, 1915, before you and I hereby make oath that he is not the father of my child, my action in this matter was caused by the influence of Sarah Hopewell and J. K. Cifford, they having forced me to take such steps and I knew not what I was doing. Lillie Smith, Alliant. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 18th day of January, 1915. J. H. Lloyd, Justice of the Peace. J. H. Lloyd, Justice of the Peace. I had never spoken to Lillie Smith, and had never seen her to my knowledge until Friday evening, January 16, 1915. She came to my house in company with Mrs. Henry Hopewell, who introduced her and said: "Now just ten Mr. Chifford what you told me." That was what Mrs. Hopewell said. She boldly declared that "Randolph" Hammer was the father of her bastard child. That before, or after the birth of the child, Ramer had her to go to Dan Snyder's and gave her fifty dollars to say in the presence of Dr. Gray and J. Frank Briscoe that it was not his child. She further said: "Randolph" Hammer sent her and Dr. Gray to Washington, D. C., where she was to give birth to her baby, but she came back and became a mother at Kearneysville, West Virginia. I asked the whereabouts of the baby. She said Mrs. Laura Hunter had it. That she came after it and insisted upon having it. It might throw a glimmer of light on this unpunctured mystery, to learn that Mrs. Hunter claims relationship with "Randolph" as Lillie Smith preferred to call him. All those who have seen the child say it favors him, and will condemn him anywhere. Another item might add light to light. Why did Lillie Smith name her child "Inez Ramer?" Lillie Smith has talked to much to shield and save "Randolph." As to Lillie Smith's reputed knowledge or conditions in Ramer's house, where she says she was seduced by him, it must be admitted that she displays, in her indictment of him, an apparent apt conception of furnishings, bric a bac, pictures, etc., which she says were to be found therein. If it were not his child why did he, as she says, give her their dollars' o deny it? If it is not his baby why did she say that he sent her and Dr. S. Gray to Washington and paid their way? After she had sworn that it was his child and had him arrested last Saturday and put under bond, why did he not rely on her former denial, go into court and prove his innocence. Why did he run to Dan Snyder, get Maggie Smith, the girl's saset, Platina Briscoe, Willie Marshall and John Carter and combine with them to scare and coerce the poor thing to purge herself? By her act, she is a subject for the Pentecary, or it is to need to seattle, would not be retaliate this doctrine to the woman of "Go in peace and sin no more." It a man has undeified and undeauched conscience, he has confidence in public opinion and more still in a public investigation. And on this practical hypothesis, why did not Fred R. Ramer face Little Smith in court and prove himself an innocent man? Answer, because he couldn't. As to our forcing Lillie Smith to swear to a lie that Ramer is the father of her child, it recalls to our mind a fellow who has stolen goods, and white running hollers thief, thief. The girl, poor child, by swearing to a falsehood, made it easy for her to be sent to the penitentiary, but the public clearly sees through the rotten scheme, and it she is penicillable by reason of perjury and it Ramer and Dan Snyder made her do it, are they not more guilty than she? It Dan Snyder and Ramer did as much to help a thief, or to murder a man, would not the new punish them? Read the crushing烈性 of Emeina, Desuemona and Oceno, for it enmakes the whole thing. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. The preliminary work for a nation at employment bureau has been completed and the department of Labor at Washington is busy getting the word out over the country as to the method of working it. Instructions will be sent to the thousands of postmasters and rural carriers throughout the country and to nearly 200,000 field agents of the department of Agriculture, who will cooperate with the Labor Department to bring jobs less man and the manless job together. All agents of the immigration bureau will also participate in the huge task. The general plan on the bureau is as follows: Notices will be posted in all post offices announcing that applications for work or workers will be received by the postmaster who will be supplied with forms to be filed out and forwarded to the Labor Department agent in charge of the zone in which the office is located. The distribution branch of the immigration service will handle this part of the work and to this branch also will go the reports of the Department of Agriculture agents as to section where help is needed in harvesting or other work. Applicants will then be informed of the place where they can obtain work of the kind they seek and at the nearest point point to them, the postal service acting as the distributing and collection agency for applications and replies throughout the transactions. BONDS ARE GIVEN BY ATTORNEY WEIL A Leo Well, Pittsburg attorney, appeared in the Kanawha county intermediate court Wednesday, where he gave bonds agrgegating $25,000 for his appearance in court March 10 to answer four indictments, two charging felonies and two charging misdemeanors. The telonies charge that Weil was an accomplice before the fact in attempting to brine Howard N. Ogden and Charles H. Bronson, members of the state public service commission, while the misdemeanors charge him with being a principal in connection with the same offenses. Weil was discharged of his bond before Justice Dering on the original warrant sworn out charging the same offense. No motions were made to quash the indictments. Such preliminary motions will be made March 10, after which it will be decided when a trial will be had if the motions are overruled by Judge Henry K. Black. The bonds given by Weil was $10,000 in each of the felony cases and $2,500 in each of the misdemeanors. The sureties were R. G. Hubbard, Harrison B. Smith and Isaac Loewenstein, of Charleston. "Laesar" I as Strange Cargo ART OF COOKING FREQUENT TRIPS CAUSES DIVORCES FROM THE TRENCHES The United States auxiliary ship "Caesar" is due to arrive in San Francisco about the 29th of January with a strange cargo. It will have on board a miniature slaughter house with the latest appliances in a live stock in a sanitary and economical manner; a fult-sized locomotive such as used by foresters in protecting the national forests; a miniature Yosemite Valley with roads, waterfalls, and other scenic features reproduced complete. There will also be groups of stuffed animals as the American elk and predators and a collection of the instruments that Uncle Sam's weather man uses to forecast weather conditions. The D. S. auxiliary ship "Chesar" moved its cargo from the department of agriculture of Washington D. C., and started about a month ago on its voyage to the Pacific coast via the canal. The exhibits are intended for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and will soon be installed in the splendid quarters which have been assigned for the exhibits of the department. Seventeen thousand square feet of floor space is to be occupied by the department of agriculture, most of it being in what is known as the Palace of Agriculture. The office of public roads' exhibit will be found in the Palace of Machinery. Many of the features have been especially prepared for the new fair and the whole exhibit aims to give, as far as possible, a comprehensive idea of some of the important things which the department is trying to do for the farmer. That part of the "Caesar's" cargo contributed by the department's bureau of plant industry will be of particular interest to the grower of crops and fruits. The man who owns an orchard may learn something about how the department fights fruit diseases and also how fruit may be shipped to insure satisfactory delivery. Whether the farmer grows cotton, tobacco, corn or cereals he will find something practical bearing on his work. Lessons may also be learned in grain standardization and the study of fibers. Model Slaughter House Small cities or private companies considering the erection of a slaughter house may get many pointers 1.07. the model which has just made the journey through the canal. The complete plant constructed on a scale of 1 to 16 has been planned by the best specialists available with special reference to sanitary and economic features. The estimated cost of such an abattoir is $22,500 if constructed of frame; $33,500 if made of cement, as is the model. The individual farmer who slaughters his own meat often does not consider the loss which he incurs by not being able to make the best use of the blood and other by-products such as the bones and hides. Sometimes he loses the entire value of these relatively unimportant parts of his live stock. However, the saving effected in the case of a hundred farmers would not be so inconsiderable if all were able to have their live CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 19.—"Women are three times as faithful to th)eir marriage vows than men, but when strife is laid at their door it generally traces to complete ignorance of the art of cooking and a general unpreparedness for the marriage state." Such is the logic of Judge M. Almon Warner who closes his career of six years on Cincinnati's "invoice bench" after hearing 6,000 cases of domestic woe. Excerpts from Judge Warner's wisdom: "If husbands have clean comfortable cozy homes they will not seek amusement outside." "A marriage founded on a month's acquaintance is almost sure to be snip-wrecked. "Young folks should know each other at least a year if they expect to live a lifetime in peace and love." "Married folks should have kindred tastes and best of all—real love." "Prospective voyagers on the sea of matrimony should ask themselves first: 'Will my affections remain the same when we are old and gray.'" "Liquor is a fee to marriage and an aid to divorce." "Among the wealthier people 'the other woman' is most generally the husband's fault." "When a woman falls, she falls far lower than a man." "If I had not been sworn to uphold laws, only scriptural grounds and absolute mental incompatibility would be the grounds for divorce in my court." "It is only the abnormally unusual family that needs court adjustment; there are millions of husbands and wives whose lives are perfect." stock slaughtered in a plant where by this method could be saved and to the best advantage. Eventually the saving would be so great that the initial cost of the building is honored the model may be able to teach the municipalities looking for a solution of this problem. Any municipality or county interested in this particular work may apply to the department's representatives at the fair for information re- may be located in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. They will then receive the result of the work of specialists along this line as well as architectural drawings and specifications. Many small cities in the south in particular will undoubtedly be able to profit by building slaughter houses according to these specifications. Infant Foods Shown. "Which commercial infant food will best suit the need of my child?" the mother who visits the fair may ask in the exhibit in the exhibit of the department's bureau of chemistry. This exhibit shows just exactly what most of the infant foods now on the market contain. It shows which contain more protein and those which contain most fat and sugar. It shows the relative value of each as compared with mother's milk and with cow's milk, straight or modified. of chemistry has also a wide variety of which should in particular house wife who may be interested about the adulterants which are put into her food. How some 30 kinds of food look under the microscope when they are adulterated is shown. The housekeeper may learn from these how ground pepper ought to look and how the usual adulterants look. The ingredients of true vanilla and lemon extracts are shown, and also the ingredients of imitation vanilla and lemon extract. Such oils as castor, cottonseed, olive and peanut are shown with the raw products from which derived, and the value of the products for food and other purposes. Habit-forming drug preparations and adulterated drugs form a part of the bureau of chemistry's exhibit. samples of the different kinds of soils in various parts of the United States will be shown by the bureau of soils, and a case of birds showing now these feathered neighbors help the farmer in fighting the alfalfa weevil, will be displayed by the bureau of biological survey. Many types of road construction from the old Roman Appian way to the most modern uncleam road will be shown by the office of public roads. A feature of the exhibit will be a large model of the Yosemite Valley showing location of roads in the park. The historical models in this exhibit, showing various types from which our roads have been developed, will prove of interest, while the re-location model and road-side treatment model will be educational to the average visitor. LONDON, Dec. 27. (by mail to New York.—Week-end, trips home from the trenches are now a regular thing among the British soldiers at the front. The regiments which were engaged during the desperate retreat from Mons, and the subsequent advance north of Ypres, are thoroughly exhausted as the result of three months continuous fighting, and as far as possible they have been withdrawn from the firing line, and replaced by fresh troops.

HOW TWO BAD BOYS MADE GOOD IN WAR Formerly the despair of their par- ents and teachers, Driver Job Henry Drain, 37th Battery, Royal Field Ar- tillery, and Lance-Corporal William Fuller, of the Koyal Welsh Regiment, are now popular heroes and the pride of the towns of which they were once considered the disgrace. For the “bad boys” of Barking and Swansea have won the little bronez crosses which enable them to place the letters V ©, after their names, and which put them on the roll of England's great- est heroes for all time. Barking in Wssex, and Swangea, in Wales, are far apart and Drain and Fuller may never meet, but their stories are sut- ficiently similar to tell toegther. Drain is the son of a Barking la- borer, and as a boy he never made any pretense about wishing to rise in the world, He hated school, and Playing truant as often as he dared. His teacher at the little Back-lane Church school demonstrated with him and, punished him, but in vain. Drain’s ambition in life was to mind cows, He could not work up any en- thusiasm for the three R’s. He un- derstood cows, and preferred to be with cows, and when he was kep. away from them and forced to go Lc school he made himself a general nuisance. He was placed in the Walthamstow Truant Séhool. Job throve exceedingly at the re- form farth, and curiously cnough, took readily to the physical and mil- itary drill apart of the curriculum. Hie was a clean-built, well set up youth of sixteen when three years ago he was told that he must choose a career and leave his place of de. tention. He elected to join the army, and entered the Royal Vield Artillery as a “boy.” “Boy” Drain found horses quite as fascinating as he had formerly found cows, and proved so good a horseman that on reaching the military age of seventeen he was “mustered Driver,” and appointed to the 37th Battery, He was eighteen and a half when the great war broke out, and his battery was one of the first in the fleld, hav- ing moved to France with the Irish division. At Mons and during the fa- mous retreat, Drain did his duty, and looked after his pafr of gun horses, in fine style, but it was at Le Cateau, on August 288 that he had the oppor- tunity of showing that bad boys at school were not necessary incorri- gible. ‘There his battery got into a tight corner and it seemed certain that the guns must be captured by the ad. vancing Germans, Guns are the ap ple of an artilleryman’s eye and his officers called for volunteers to save them, Most of the gunners had beer killed but with a comrade, Driver Frederick Luke, the “Bay Boy ot Barking” dashed through » hail of bullets and hitching up his teams brought back three guas in succes sion. Before the two heroes got the third gun away the German infantry were within a hundred yards, but the “worst boy in the school’ never flinch ed, with his comrade, galloped back to the battery with the precious fielc pieces. Both were awarded Victoria Cross es, and one of the first things Drait received was a telegram from the Mayor of Barking: “tleartiest con gratulations. The town of Barking is proud of you.” Then came a sim ilar message from the Wathamstov reform farm and the teacher wh¢ had given him up in despair, ‘The teacher who has some skill with the brush, is painting a portrait of th hero to hang up in the school ir ing. Lance-Corporal Fuller's atory is al- most the same. ‘The “Bad Boy of Swansea” was in- corigible until taken in hand by the Swansea Industrial School. He to acquired a respect for discipline and Joined the Royal Welsh Regiment, in which he proved himself a smart sol- dier and was soon promoted to Lance- Corporal, He cheerfully performed all the duties entailed by the “half- of-nothing rank of which Kipling wrote, then came the war, and the Welsh were in all the early fighting It was at the battle of the Ainse, when on September 14, near Chivy, the regiment suffered fearful losses that Puller’s chance came. Outnum- bered six to one, the Royal Welsh fought desperately to hold their post tion. Officer after officer went down, among them Captain Haggard, the Swansea “bad boy's” company com- mander, who fell, shouting “Stick it, Welsh.” Nobly the bad boy and his few remaining comrades “stuck it,” and when retirement was inevitable Fuller went back for his officer, He had to run a hundred yards under murderous: rifle and = machine gun fire before he found his captain, Cap- ‘tain Haggard, knowing himself to be mortally wounded, ordered the plucky “Non-com” ‘o go back, but Fuller in- sisted upon picking him up and car- rying him on his shoulders to a place’ of comparatively safety. |! In tie dining room of the correc: tional school which reclaimed the V. €. hero, and prevented him from drifting into the ranks of the invet- erate wastrals, the education authori- ties of Swansea are putting up a ‘brass plate, inscribed with the word- ing of the official dispatch recording | Fuller's heroic deed.
