Dried beans are a popular dish among Uncle Sam's soldiers, and they receive the beat that can be furnished. Reans have a high value as food and are especially suitable for men under In tensive training, experts of the war department have found. All the beans required by the United States aad the allies for the coming year will be obtained through one pur-' chaser, the food administration grain ' corporation, which has made arrange-1 meets to Inspect end pey cash for beans In the producing fields. This will eliminate delay in payments and Insure the purchase of beans at a lower figure. Two hundred men employed in the field srttllery erecting department of the Rock Island arsenal. Rock Islsnd, ni., have volunteered not only to fore go their customary Thanksgiving hoi I-! dsy In order thet they might donate a full day's production to the army, but have also proposed to give their wsges for that day to the American Red Cross. As they will be paid at the rate of "double time," their con tribution to the Red Cross will be a considerable sum. Brig. Geo. John T. Thompson, direc tor ef arsenals, on learning of the men's action, sent them a letter of ap preciation. Checks for allotments which are made by American soldiers through the quartermaster corps of ths srmy •re sent to practically every part of the world, the principal exceptions be ing the central powara aad Turkey. Two are sent to Bulgaria.

The plane need came from the radio experimental laboratory at Camp Al fred Tall, farther down en the Jereey ceest. Ueqt Cynjs r. Kmvths WM the | pilot and MaJ. fcL L. Armstrong of the British srmy, stationed at the 'plant was the observer. Flying over the wrecked works at an altitude of 1,000 feet Lieutenant Smythe so maneu vered his plane that Major Armstrong waa able to see the flames progressing toward warehouses containing thou sands of tons of TNT and to make out openings in the fire end wreckage through which men could be aent to combat the blase and save property. While the plane was hovering over the burning plant several terrific explo sions buried molten steel and biasing debris dangerously near It and canaed concussions that rocked the ehlp per ilously. Two attempt* were made by air planea to get photographs of the fire and explosions, but though a number of exposures were made at different elevatlana between 80 and 2,000 feet above the plant the films were worth less, doubtless through accidents to the trigger and ahutter caused by the Intense heat Tlolation of sugar regulations and falsification of "reports by a concern which operates sixty retail stores in Boston and vicinity has resulted in a contribution of $20,000 to the United war work campaign. In addition to the paynjent of this large sum each of the company's stores will be re quired to display for 80 days a sign declaring that it has violated the United States food administration reg ulations and pledging compliance with Its rulings In future. None of the stores was closed be cause the food administration realised that many people would be Inconven ienced If they were even temporarily put out ot business. An Investigation by the food administration disclosed that the company had been knowingly obtaining sugar which It was not en titled to receive under the system of Allotment Officials of the company, it was testified, bad submitted erro neous reports to the food administra tion In Its applications for excessive amounts of sugar certificates. The president of the company offered to contribute $20,000 to the United States .war work campaign In lieu of further action, and to show that the firm re gretted violations by subordinate of ficials. Announcement Is made by the war department that dependents and bene ficiaries of officers and men having .claims under the war risk Insurance act do not need outside assistance In collecting allowances, allotments, com pensation or Insurance. The bureau :Of war risk Insurance of the treasury 'department It is stated, arranges all such matters and settles all claims ! without charge. The war department ;polnta out that agents who Impose ,upon claimants are liable to severe punishment The war department Is bo-operating I with the treasury department to pro tect the beneficiaries of officers and men who have died or been killed against the activities of certain claim agents who seek to defraud the wives, mothers and dependents of these heroes. Production of small-arms ammuni tion (cartridges for machine guns, trifles, revolvers and pistols) has passed ;the three-bllllon mark, the ordnance 'department announces. A grand total 'ot 8.084,160.110 cartridges had' been accepted ment up to October 11. Of thia number 2,810,628,810 are service ball cartridges for machine guns and rifles, and 276,524,200 are for revolvers and pistols of .46 caliber. The remainder are miscellaneous car tridges, many of them types speclslly | adapted for use in airplanes (such as tracer. Incendiary and armor-plerclng ; cartridges) and a limited number are for training purposes, i " | Officials of the United States food administration estimate that 0,000,000 persons eat dally In Hotels, restau rants, dining cars and other eating places which are affected by the regu lations about to be. enforced to save food. One of the new rules Is that an allowance of two pounds of sugar for 'eech 00 meals served Is to be the limit 'for such establishments. In addition to economizing food the jrules for their object the slmpll ; ficatlon of service. Meat and vege tables are. to be served on one plate, | thus obviating side dishes. There will 'be a leaser number of srtlcles of food ' and a reduction In the number and ; sixes of menu cards. These regula tions are expected to save labor and ieeeentlal materials. Twelve large circus tents and 100 sideshow tents have been purchased by the American Red Cross for ship ment to France and other parts of Ku- ; rope. The officials of the Red Croee ! assure the American public that the organisation Is not Intending to start circuses but bought the tents for use as temporary warehouses In France sod elsewhere close to the fighting lines. The tents will protect Immense quantities of supplies In placee where warehouse apace is not easily obtaln .able.

OCTOBER 31, 1918 BRITISH CAPTURE ; 7,OOOIPRISONERS OVERCOME EHEMY ON WHOLE FRONT AND THE ADVANCE CONTINUES UNCHECKED. OBSWE RESISTANCE MET Germane Defending With Stubborn Determination the Crossings ef Ecalllon River. London.—The British troops have overcome the enemy along the whole front between the Sambre ca nal and the Scheldt and tholr advance Is being continued. Field Marshal Halg reports from headquarters. In twenty-tonr hours the British have taken 7,000 prisoners and more than 100 guna. The text of the statement reade: "Our battle front was extended northward as far as the Scheldt at Thiant On the whole battle front be tween the Sambre canal and the Scheldt, the enemy realstance waa overcome and our advance continued. There waa hard fighting at a number of points. "On the left of our attack Anglo- Scottish troops forced crossings of the Ecalllon, between Verchaln and Thiant, and gained (he high ground to the east. "We have taken the villages ot Pols du Nord and Lea Tullerles and pro greased beyond them toward Engle fontalne. The village of Ohlsslgnles .was taken after a sharp struggle, the enemy defending with determination the croaalnga of the Ecalllon In that vicinity. "Northwest-of Ohlsslgnles we have secured the river crossings at Beau dignies, which is In our hands. Hera, vigorous realstance was overcome by the New Zealandera, who in this lo cality captured a number of batteries. Including guns of heavy caliber. "We have reached the general line ot the Sambre-Olse canal, due east ot LeCateau; west of the edge of the Forest de Mormal In the neighborhood of LeQuesnoy, Vendegies-Sur-Ecslllon and the Scheldt canal at Malng. "In local fighting on the Valencl ennes-Tournal sector we have made progress snd taken prisoners." THE DIPLOMATIC SITUATION TAKES ON NEW IMPORTANCE Washington.—Successful British op erations on the Valenciennes front took on new Importance to officers here In the light of the diplomatic sit uation. Field Marahal Halg's armies are striking savagely at the hinge ot the present German line of resistance and the progress already made la thought by officers bare to make it certain that the German retirement both In Belgium and In France wUI have to be resumed wlthont delay. South ot the new British wedge, the French are keeping continuous presaure against the eaemy along the Olae-Serre front, making It difficult for the Oermao commanders to dis engage their forces from this most ex posed sector of their lines. Succsss of the British effort, however, which now seems assured, would compel a precipitate evacuation of the Olse- Serre salient, It la believed. Reduction of the Olse-Serre salient would mean rectification of the lines probably as far east as the Argonne, observers believe, emd coupled with the Franco-Americans pounding there and on the Meuse, the British ad vancaa possibly foreshsdow the re treat of the enemy to the Meuse line. If that retirement Is delayed much longer, It waa aald, there Is strong probability that the British, working eastward from Valenciennes, will gather in prisoners, guns and stores In large number later on. More than ever, officer* are con vinced that new operations on a large scale are Impending on the front and that Oeneral Pershing's two aggrea alve young armlea soon will try their Buttle again. • AMERICAN AVIATORS DROP .

If Concrete Structures Are Built and Kept Clsan, They Hsvs Ad vantages. (Prepared by the United Btales Depart ment of Agriculture) Home farmer* favor ho# wallows; others are strongly opposed to them. Filthy hog wallows are a source of danger. Ilogs wallowing In or drink ing contaminated water are likely to contract disease. However, there lire many advantages to be derived from wallows. A cool hath I* very cool ing to a hog during the hot weather. It cleans the scurf from the skin and protects the hogs from flies. Crude pe troleum, sufficient to form a tbln layer on top of the water, may bo poured Into the wallow about every ten days. This will tend to keep the bogs free from lice and other skin parasites. If the skin becomes Irritated from the oil. Its use should be discontinued. Small quantities of coal-tar dip are sometimes added to the water In hog wallows, bqt there Is an element of danger In this practice, as poisoning may result from the absorption of phenol by hogs which He In the wal low more or leas continuously. On some of the larger hog farms wallows are becoming popular. The cement hog wallow should be located In a shady place and made so as to contain from eight to ten Inches of wa ter. A two-Inch drain pipe, as recom mended for the dipping vat, should be placed In the bottom of the wallow to permit Its being cleaned oat. In many esses a farmer is not finan cially able to build a hog wallow or a dipping vat. If this he the case, the dip, properly diluted, can be applied with a spray pump or sprinkling can, or else rubbed on every part of the •body by means of a brush or a swab of cotton waste.
