THE PAGElifND JOURNAL Vol.7 NO. 43 PAGELAND, S. C., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY XI, 1917 $1.00 per year Million Women Pledged fo Food Conservation Washington, July 7.? A million American women, it was announced today, have signed pledges to follow the food conservation directions of the iood administrator. All will be en rolled as actual members of food administration and from time to time will be sent instructions on household economics. Within the next three weeks the admin istration hopes to enroll virtually every woman in the United States. The first list of directions were sent out today to be pasted in the kitchens of women who have joined the admimstration. They follow: "One wheatless meal a dav. Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barlev bread and non-wheat breakfast foods. Order bread 24 hours in advance so your baker will not bake beyond tns needs. Cut the loaf on the table and onlv as re quired. Use stale bread for cooking, toast, etc. Eat less cake and pastry. ; '"Beef, mutton or Pork not more than once daily. Use free ly vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller portions and steak instead of steaks. Make made dishes of all leftovers. Do this and there will be meat enough for every one at a reasonable price. "The children must have milk. Use every drop. Use butter milk and sour milk fot cooking and making cottage cheese, Use less cream. Butter as usual, but not in cooking. Other fats are as good. Reduce use oi forced fnnHc *5Aon /-?<-?? tnlm WUUIIUC fats. Do not waste it. Make your own washing soap at home out of the saved fats. "Sugar is scarcer; we use to day three times as much per per son as our allies. So there raaj be enough tor all at reasonable prices, use less candy and sweei drinks. "Coal comes from a distance and our railways are overburden ed hauling war material. Help relieve them by burning few&i fires. Use wood when you car get it. "Fruits and vegetables we have in abundance. As a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and im prove your health. Store potatoes and other roots properly and thev will keep. Begin now to can or dry surplus garden products. "Patronize your local producer. Distance means money. Bu> perishable food from the neighborhood nearest you and thus save transportation. "Buy less, serve smaller portions; preach the gospel of the clean plate; don't eat a fourth meal; don't limit the plain food of growing children; watch out for the waste; full garbage pails in America means empty dinner pails in America and Europe; if the more fortunate of our people 117 ?11 rtlfAt/1 J 4 nm avuiu waste ami fill IIO more than they need, the high cost of living problem for the less fortune will be solved." CHURCH NOUS METHODIST PROTESTANT John. W. Quick, Pastor Our appointment for next Sun day will beat Rose Ilill at 11 a. m. Sunday school at 10 a. m. We will continue the subject, "Tracing the Scarlet Thread." All denominations are invited to be with us. Our special meeting will begin the first Sunday in August. Rev. Stubbins of Charlotte will be our pulpit help. When a man shows a Christian spirit in an arguemynt thing! are coming hit way, Germany's Waning Fortunes Who can doubt that the fortunes of Germany are on the wane? The renewal of the fighting: on the east by the Russian Army and thexmanitest success attending it, coincident with the arrival of American troops to take part in the tight ing on the west, are in them selves circumstances which are calculated to cause despondency among the German people, but in connection with this must be taken the progressively crush ing defeats which have been inflected by the British and French in recent weeks. The official reports now made public show that from the middle of ^.pril to the fast of June the Allies on the west front have taken over 63,000 prisoners, among whom more than a thousand officers are included, < .i- ? iugeiut:i wim an enormous equipment of war material, including 2,330 cannon, trench motors and machine guns. An Armv must be invested with a little more than human strength and courage to be able to long resist such onslaughts as these captures would indicate the Germans have been subjected to To this is to be added the vast number ot German soldiers killed in battle since the war 1 began. The figures were made up in March, last, and in these are not included the casualties ' just enumerated. The German loss in killed amounts to the high ' total of 1,500,000. 4*Attrition, * 1 so much talked about in early ' davs of the war, njust now be - shaking itself on the German : Army. Those who have been standing by their calculations for the war to, be a thing of the past by or during 1918, are, in the opinion of The Observer, : standing on firm ground. The 1 ring of steel which has surround La ' ' tu vjci uiuiiv since ner aasn : through Belgium was stopped early in the war, has become ' much more restricted and is being drawn closer day by day 1 with an acceleration movement. It is now a question of German 1 ability to delav the process. Her Government is one of admittedly ^reat resources, but it is a poor military student who may weigh the events of the past few weeks with all the accumulating odds against Germany and not be able to figure out the beginning of the end. Its coming may be starved off longer than there is now reason to anticipate, while on the other hand its development may be of a more precipitate nature than could at this time be considered possible.?Charlotte Observer. Monroe Citizen Killed By Train Monroe, July 7.?Charley Laney was killed earlv this morning at Lafayette, Ind., by a railroad train, the particulars of this tragic death not being communicated to his many prominent relatives in this county and Mecklenburg. Mr. Laney was nearly sixty years of age and was a brother to Henry, Frank and Clarence Laney, of this city. He married Miss Bessie Parks, of Charlotte, | and she preceded him to the grave many years ago. An only daughter, Miss Isabelle Laney, survives. She resides in Char lotte with her grandparents. Mr* Laney was a graduate of Trinitv and was a bright and useful man, well qualified, and had innumerable friends. His remains will reach here tomorrow night and funeral will be held and interment will t>C in Monroe ceroiteryi Registered^ Men Advised ' to Hold Selves in Readiness f'? Washington, July 8.?Another step in building i- ^the selective conscription army was taken today with the distribution of a cir1 cular by Provost Marshal General Crowder notifying the registered men to hold themselves in readi-. ness for appearance before thfc board which will conduct exatHk nations and consider exemptions. How or when the government will select the men to-be examined is not detailed in the ciicular, but it is revealed that registration cards in each county or city jurisdiction are to bb numbered with red ink and thgt "as soon as the drawing to complete, lists showing the x>rder ip which these red ink numbers are drawn will be publisned 1$ the press and will be posted at the office of each local board**' it already has been announc&l that the selection will take plaA in Washington, and the general presumption has been some fevice similar to a jury wheel wb be employed. Exemptions to be determined by the loftai boards, the circular shows, only for previous announced specified causes, such as the responsibility for support of relatives and not for agricultural or industrial reasons. Seven days after designations are posted will be allowed for filing claims. Then there will be an additional allowance of ten days for ftling proofs, and the board must decide within three days after the proof is filed. ? When the case of any regis trar has been disposed of so ar as the local board is codce ji*l, the names <5t those not exempt or discharged will be posted. Claims for exemption ior indus trial or agricultural work must be made within five days after such posting, and must go direct to the higher board sitting for the judicial district. Appeals for the rulings of local board must be made to the higher board within ten days. The circular does not cover the summoning of the men for actual otivitc, I'UlllllUK UUl 111U1 SBltCtion and acceptance does not mean an immediate summons. Even the time of the drawing is not specified, but issuance of the circular is taken to -mean that the work of selection may be in progress within a few days. September 1 has been tentatively considered as the date for assembling the first half million men in cantonments for training. _ Submarine Reported Sighted Off Chesepeake Bay Fortress Monroe, Va., July 5.? Hampton Roads was given a real submarine scare tonight by a report brought to the com mandant of Fortress Monroe that two incoming vessels had sighted a periscope in Chesapeake bay five miles off the fort. Immediate precautions were taken and late tonight naval ves ?i! 11 4 scis Mm were scouring me low er bay seeking an enemy. Merchant vessels about to sail were held back and the Wash, ington and Baltimore steamers were escorted from the roads and part of the way by the bay by warships. Col, Foote, commandant of the fort, would not comment upon the rumor be yond saying that while the re ports might not prove to be well founded, no chances would be taken.

General Brussiloff is pushing his offensive on the Russian front with energy and rapidly extending its scope. He has begun an attack in the region of Pinsk, 150 miles north of Galicia, within which the forward move ment had previously been confined, and is attacking with success in the region northwest of stanislau, southeast of Lemberg. *At Pinsk, semiofficial advices announce the German defenses as yielding to the Russian fire. The town itself is reported in flames. The Galician campaign is rfteeting with a vigorous AustroGerrnan defense, and admittedly the Russians have been held up in renewed attempts to advance in the Koniuchv region. The sweeping claim of Berlin of a ^jgnal victory against the Russians. however, conflicts sharply with the Russian announcements of substantial gains in several sectors. ? ? The big guns are roaring all along the line on the Franco Belgian front. Infantry move inents developed in Belgium, where a sharp thrust by the Brit ish carried their line forward slightly in the neighborhood of Wytschaete. \ i Senate Favor# Bone Dry Prohibition Washington, July 7.?The senate went on record today in favor of "bone dry" national prohibition during the war so far as whiskey and other distilled beverages are concerned. ' Liquor legislation was written into the food control bill in one of the senate's bitterest contests, which would stake at consunp tion of distilled intoxicants bv commandeering stock in bond in addition to absolutely prohibiting their manufacture or importation. Tiie beer and wine industries would be left undis turbed. In lieu of the section of the house bill to prohibit the manufacture of foodstuffs into beverages of any description, the senate substituted, by a vote of 45 to 37, a provision prohibiting manufacture and importation of distilled beverages during the war. and added, 65 to 12, a further clause directing the president to take over all distilled spirits in government bonded warehouses and pav for it on the basis of cost plus 10 I per cent. | While the final prohibition [legislation will be evolved in 'conference between the two houses it is generally regarded, as probable that the house will accept the senate's change after a fight in behalf of its original section. Kaiser's Agents Not Wanted Here Washington, fulv 7.?All Germans formerly connected either with the embassy or any one of the many consulates in America have been requested to leave the ?I c.-.? i uuucu oiaies. rsoimcauon inat their presence in America is undesirable has been sent to them by the state department. They were not told that they suspected of being spies, but the inference was that their loyalty to the kaiser might make it difficult for them to remain in this countrv without attempting to send information of a military character to their government.
