GERMANY GETS MAIL BY WAY OF MEXICO WITH HELP' OF SPAIN City of Mexico, Jan. 30. There is direct communication by the Spanish mail steamships between Mexico and Spain. The German minister in Mex ico in this manner keeps in touch with his government, his official mail upon arriving in Spain finding its way abroad some of the numerous German submarines that have their bases along the Spanish Atlantic and Med iterranean coasts. Other things are suspected of reach ing Germany from the United Stater by way of Mexico and Spain. For in stance, not long ago the attention of certain United States officials in Mex ico was directed to a shipment of fire proof safes which reached VeraCrux from the United States by water. When the presumably empty safes were opened they wer found packed full of articles badly toeded in Ger many. There were reasons for believ ing that this stuff was destined for transshipment to Germany. HIGHER WAGES ESSENTIAL " TO REPAIRING TRACKS Railroad Wage Commission Is Told That Laborera Are Leaving the Roads. Washington, Jan. 30. Railroad tracks cannot be kept in proper re pair unless higher wages are paid la borers, the railroad wage commission waa told today by representatives of the maintenance of way emplyess' un ion. Thousands of men already have left the railroad to take jobs with in dustries or mines paying much high er wages, and it waa said many oth ers plan to quit early in the spring. In miny localities section foremen are said to be depending largely on farmers to do repair work on the roads. The farmers will go back to their agricultural duties with the pass ing of winter. T. H. Gerry, president of the union proposed that the poorly paid classes should receive a 60 per cent increase and. that this should be scaled down to about 20 per cent for the better paid men. . He said about 500,000 are employed on maintenance of way work by the railroads.

INGSTj Wednesday was coal shovel tag day throughout the nation and hundreds of thousands of tags urging the 'sav ing of a shovel full of coal were dis tributed throughout the country and tied to coal shovels and coal buckets This work was done principally through the school children and in Salisbury there were hundreds of these tags placed and attached to coal handling vessels and shovels. The cards were distributed to the children at the various schools during the day and by them were distributed to coal consumers, the children 'making the rounds of the business houses andtie ing tags to shovels and scuttles, while every! child carried a tag home to be attached to these articles there. The tagging was done under the au spices of the fuel administration. The movement was nation-wide, the chil dren being used all over the country to tage shovels. The tags were pro vided by the administration, and they are supposed to reamin on the shov el aa constant reminders to the peo ple of the. significance of coal econo my. The children here yesterday told those Whose shovels they tagged that a half shovel full of coal was equal to a loaf of bread, and each one saved made it easier for America to win the war. The tags contain information as to how to regulate the furnace and the proper temperature to keep a room and urged the saving of coal as a fuel in order to help win the war. Of course, most people are now saving as much coal as possible, fearing a complete run-out on account of its scercity in the local markets, but there are those who do not realise the real seriousness of the shortage of this fuel and are not as saving as they could be. To these fuel saving cards will be a constant reminder and pos sibly thousand of tons of fuel will be saved throughout the nation. GERMANS TRY TO DESTROY ANTWERP PORT FACILITIES London, Jan. 30. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "I have seen a report that a prominent Belgian gentleman recently escaped from 'Antwerp. In regard to the city's future he says Germany knows she cannot possibly hold Antwerp and is doing her utmost to ruin this once thriving port1 to pre vent it being a competitor with her own ports after the war. For many months the kaiser's military repre sentatives have been prohibited from dredging work under the , severest penalties. Dock machinery is rotten snd even now to put things in working order would take tw years." RIBUTED BY THE SPECIAL CORSETS FOR 15c 48c 69c Camouflaging Our Consciences. 1 (National Defense Society.) Are you' really ma&ing some sacri fice to ihelp win this war, or are you camouflaging your conscience and making yourself believe you are a real patriot when in reality you haven't experienced even the beginning of SACRIFICE t ' . It is so easy to deceive ourselves. "I bought ten thousand dollars worth of . Liberty Bonds," Mrs. Jones exclaims with the proud air of one who has4nade a big sacrifice for the sake of her country. Now in many cases the buying cf this number of bonds, even the pur chase of a single bond has meant a real sacrifice. But Mrs. Jones knew in Ib-er heart that she had bought these bonds simply because the investmoit was a convenient and safe one. Again, (Mrs. Smith loses no oppor tunity to tell you that she is just fin ishing her eleventh sweater, and as for helmets and mufflers well, she has lost count of the number she has knitted. Now, of course, Mrs. Smith can justly be proud of such record. But as it happened, it required no sacri fice whatsoever; She (had plenty of leisure and she enjoyed knitting. Be fore the war she knitted bright col ored sweaters. The only difference the war made to her is that now she knits with khaki colored and navy blue yarn. "And what are you doing for the war?" some one asks pretty young Bettina, mho lives in a small town near a cantonment "Oh, I help c&eer up the soldiers," Bettina replies. "We give dances for them every Wednesday night at the club and on Sunday evening they dop into the church for a supper and en tertainment ''Yes, indeed the girl who is not sac rificing everything for her country is a slacker," Dettina agrees. And she really does not perceive that what she 14 doing has not re quired the slightest sacrifice on her part In fact, she sometimes wonders how she ever managed . to get along with just the "stupid home-boys" be fore the war. These are only a few examples of people who are camouflaging ;hijr consciences. , Now aft the things mentioned are in themselves Worth while, but jnless the doing of them requires 1 -ruftce, we are Slackers. The time has passed when we csn be content with just doing our Mb- " We must do out "all." And there is one thing in the province of all, that no matter what else we are doing f it , the country, we must do. This is to 1 SAVE FOOD. V Now whatever .way you look at it, saving food means a sacrifice. For those who have been in the abit if overeating, it means a crest deU to do with less food ndwv .

And it takes extra .iarr irig and care for the housekeepefr-to use other cereals insteal of wheat, ar.l lets meat, fats and sugar in her cooking.
