SOME USE FOR EVERYTHING Effect of New Pian Is to Turn Into Large Profit What Hitherto Has Been a Very Considerable Washington.—The war department has taken elaborate and comprehensive precautions to prevent waste in the army cantonments, which will soon contain more than 2,000,000 men, and in the embarkation camps. In the feeding of the men waste will be minimized through the fact that the food will be prepared under the direction of mess cooks, who will be trained by special courses in army cooking schools. The officers' training camps have not been under the control of the war department so far as the food supplies are concerned, and the waste in those camps has been due to the lack of skilled management in the handling of food. A committee representing the war department and the United States food administration will also assist in dealing with problems of eliminating waste. The food administration has received from the secretary of war an announcement of a thorough-going plan for conserving all the waste material of the National army camps, which will result in salvaging many thousands of dollars. Collecting the Waste The army's first consideration in planning this work has been the sanitary and hygienic problem. At each cantonment the wastes will be collected and transported to a single 'transfer station' under the direction of the sanitary inspector. Through the use of the two-can system, wastes will be tightly enclosed throughout their collection. Sterilized cans will be substituted for the filled cans at the kitchens, the mansure of disagreeable odors and danger from files being reduced to a minimum. Every step in the process of reclamation and utilization is carefully safeguarded and is under the absolute direction of a sanitary force, each contractor being placed under heavy bonds. At the transfer station, the wastes are turned over to a contractor, who will remove them to a point at least three miles distant from the reservation. There the wastes will be completely sorted. Bottles will be sterilized and sold for commercial use. Tin cans will be baled and the solder, tin and iron reclaimed. Paper, which is estimated about five tons per day, will be baled. Bones will be kept separate and ground for fertilizer. The hides of dead animals will be removed and the carcasses "reduced" for grease and fertilizer. The chief items of waste will be the garbage and the manure. It is estimated that there are 1,200 animals at each cantonment, producing 120 tons of manure per day. At the date of the report the manure from 11 cantonments had been sold for $240,900 annually. Big Saving Through Garbage. The greatest element of saving is through the garbage. This has been sold for an annual price of $446,-394.57. The garbage from 13 of the cantonments will be used for feeding swine. It is estimated on the basis of experiments conducted at the Chillicothe cantonment, that the garbage waste from 10 to 15 men will feed one hog and enable it to add to its weight one pound per day. At this rate, the garbage from these 13 cantonments will produce 18,980,000 pounds of pork per year. When not used for bage will be "red" at high temp traced, and used for f By the merly J. Q.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." John Stuart Mill. SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1918 AN AWFUL MESS. In the course of the present inquiry into the conduct of the war, Republican members of the Senate committee on military affairs have been scrupulous to do nothing which would even remotely indicate a disposition to hamper or unduly to criticise the War Department in any of its activities. Yet, telling his story in his own way Gen. Crozier has presented a condition of things which the most ghoulish of partisans could not have hoped to bring out—even if the investigation had been framed for that purpose. Months of delay, millions of added expense and almost total inadequacy of result are the items in the story. Small wonder that inquiring Senators are stupified by the revelations of inefficiency. Small wonder that the country is awaking to the situation in which "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire.

It is planned to sell the certificates to the public on the installment plan by using stamps that may ue purchased and pasted in a book for that purpose. When there are sufficient stamps to cover the cost of a certificate the book can be exchanged for one. The stamps will be placed on sale in every town and city in the country. The individual who has money laid by for a rainy day need have no hesitation in converting it into war savings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing interest at 4 per cent.

Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no --- THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgmen the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friends honor the man who in the con- tus discharge of his duty dare al alone; the world, with ignor- erant judgment, may conden countenances of relatives may ked, and the hearts of friends g but the sense of duty done s weeter than the applause of d, the countenances of relative hearts of friends.—Charles Sum I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner.

Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But MENT SOLDIERS 1918 O. N. Raths R.

"Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion.

"I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." LYNCHINGS IN 1917. (From the Chicago Tribune) The number of lynchings in 1917 shows a gratifying decrease, being 34, as compared with 58 in 1916. The subjoined table, showing the annual number during the last thirty-two years, will be of interest to those who are making a special study of the subject: 1855 ..... 184 1902 ..... 96 1866 ..... 138 1903 ..... 104 1887 ..... 122 1904 ..... 87 1888 ..... 142 1905 ..... 60 1890 ..... 176 1906 ..... 60 1890 ..... 127 1907 ..... 65 1891 ..... 191 1908 ..... 100 1892 ..... 205 1909 ..... 87 1893 ..... 200 1910 ..... 74 1894 ..... 190 1911 ..... 71 1895 ..... 171 1912 ..... 64 1896 ..... 191 1912 ..... 48 1897 ..... 106 1914 ..... 54 1898 ..... 127 1915 ..... 98 1899 ..... 107 1916 ..... 58 1900 ..... 115 1917 ..... 34 1910 ..... 130 The number of lynchings in the various states was as follows: Alabama, 5; Arkansas, 5; Arizona, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 3; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 3; Mississippi, 2; Montana, 1; Oklahoma, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 3; Texas, 4; Virginia, 2; Wyoming, 1; total, south, 31; north, 3.

FOOD CONSERVATION Lest we forget! We are at War, and it is not a mere outing like the Spanish-American War—but a serious war in which the little things that are asked to do will prove of as special importance as the larger ones. You are not going to make the small sacrifices, so that the larger sacrifices will not be necessary. If one-half of all the colored families in the United States would use one teaspoonful of sugar less in their tea and coffee one day each week, this little sacrifice would result in the saving 1,000,000 pounds of sugar a year. Sugar is necessary in this war. If one-half of all the families would use one pound of flour each week, it would save 800,000 sheels of wheat, which could be sent to help feed our soldiers and those who are fighting by our side in this war. SOLDIER AND SAILOR INSURANCE The insurance offered by the United States Government to members of its military and naval forces has been called the most just and humane provision ever made by any nation for its soldiers and sailors. That its value and advantages are appreciated by the Army and Navy is evidenced by the extent which it has been availed of. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo officially announced December 14 that 238,924 applications had already been received, representing $2,073,728,500 of insurance. The average amount for applicants is $8,679, which is very little less than the maximum of $10,000. The American forces in France were prompt in availing themselves of the insurance, Gen. Pershing himself subscribing to the maximum of $10,000. THRIFT STAMPS It is pointed out by the Treasury Department that Thrift Stamps are not made redeemable in cash for the reason that these stamps are simply intended as a convenient method for the small savers to accumulate enough to purchase War Savings Stamps which bear interest and are redeemable in cash. In addition, to provide for redemption for these Thrift Stamps would involve such an amount of detailed accounting and labor and expense as to impair the practicability of their use. In fact, they would be more trouble and expense to the Government possibly than they are worth. the "Saintly City" and Saintly City Polks—Neway items of Bocial, Religious, Political and General Matters Among the People.

A Couple Who Do Not Believe Marriage is a Failure Are Wadded Hage is a Failure Are Wedded. On the last Saturday evening of last year, Dec. 29, 1917, quite a pretty wedding occurred at Banquet Hall, 598 W. Central avenue, in which the high contracting parties were Mr. R. D. Wiley and Mrs. Estella Green. The pretty little hall was beautifully decorated and comfortably filled with the guests who were invited to witness the nuptials. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, Mme. Addie Crawford Minor played the wedding march and the bridal party, consisting of the bride and groom and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Oliver, of Minneapolis, as attendants, entered the hall and with measured tread proceeded to the rear end and arranged themselves before Rev. J. M. Henderson, who performed the solemn ceremony that linked them for life. The bride, who is petite and pretty, was gowned in white tulle over white silk with an overdrape of imported real silk lace trimmed with jewel beads and pearls. She wore a beautiful hat of natural seal skin trimmed with gold glaze and surmounted by a white algerian gown was walking length, exposing the neck with white silk beaded slippers worn by the bride. The bouquet was white roses and lilies of the valley. Mrs. Oliver, the attendant, was attired in a cream silk accordion pleated skirt and white silk and lace waist. The groom and best man wore conventional full dress suits. After the ceremony and congratulations had been extended, refreshments were served and those who felt disposed indulged in tripping the light faunaistic toe. The bride, who has resided in the city for a number of years, is well and favorably known. She came from St. Joseph, Mo., and is a graduate of the high school, her maiden name being Estella Thomas. This is her second venture upon the matrimonial sea, she having married Mr. George Green of Helena, Mont., about ten years ago, but she thewedded life was of short duration, only one year and three months, when she was left a widow. The bride has been quite prominent in club and fraternal society work as secretary of a department of the Union Benevolent Association, assistant recording secretary of the Executive Board of the Women's State Fed. It is a member of the King's Daughter and of Corinthian Temple, S. M. T. The groom is a member of a prominent family in Lakewood, N. J., and was educated at Howard University, Washington, D. C. This is the third prize he has drawn in the matrimonial lottery and he has two daughters, aged 14 and 16 years respectively, who are attending boarding school. He has lived in the city over two years, is an expert machinist and is employed at the Griffin Wheel Works. The bride received quite a number of individual gifts and also beautiful ones from the Kings Daughters Charitable Union Fraternal Benevolent Association, for which Corrinhan Temple, S. M. T. for which they tendered the newly-weds are danced at 411 Charles street, where they are at home to their friends. THE STERLING CLUB A New Organization Formed for Various Purposes. A short time ago a number of the men of St. Paul succeeded in organizing a club that has for its objects the fostering of civic pride, encouraging literary research, cultivation of sociability among our citizens and the proper entertainment of persons of note who may visit our city, etc. The membership is limited to sixteen active members and as many honorary members as they choose to elect; all elections to membership to be by unanimous vote. The club and its officers at present comprise: J. E. Johnson, president; F. D. McCracken, vice president; B. C. Archer, secretary; Wingington, corresponding secretary and former of the executive committee; O. D. Hammond,reasurer; Hammond Turner, critic. The other members are O. C. Hall, H. F. McIntrev, J. E. Murphy, H. A. Hilary, J. Homer Goins, Walter R. Dyer, J. H. Hickman, Jr., Dwight Reed, E. C. Walker, J. O. Adams, honorary. The club made its first public appearance on New Year's day when eleven of the members made calls, in an auto-bus, to the number of about fifty and had a very enjoyable time, being graciously received everywhere they went. The club will appear before the public in some other capacity in the near future.
