From the date of the estabh sh ment of Hying schools and camps in this country and at Camp Bnr deu, Toronto, until April 24, 1918. there Lave been 102 deaths m Hy ing accidents. The Treasury Department has extended to Great Britaia an ad ditional credit of $75,000,000, making the total of American loans to that country $2,795,000, 000, and the total to all beJlig erents $5,363, 830,000. A group of 105 women tele phone operators, to serve with the Expeditionary Forces, have already been sent to France, and 150 are now in training schools to meet future demand. Wives of officers and men who are eligible are not accepted. The British meat shortage is i being felt more severely than at any time since war was started That the shortage is not confined tojncats, however, is showa by the fact that effective- control ot tbe nuilk supply is already being considered, in order to meet a possible greater shortage later in tte year, and that some sec tions of English labor aae favor ing t xtensions of the compulsory rationing system as to bread, cheese, and tea. The War Trade Board has lim ited tbe importation of crude rub ber to 1,000,000 tons a year, and has instructed its Bureau of Im ports for the current quarter to a total of 25 000 tons up to June 31,1918- Some changes may be made after experiences are gain ed by this three months' test. Imports of crude rubber during the pi evious year had bsen at the rate of 157,000 tons per annum, so the cut is over one-third. Only members of the senior divison Reserve Officers' Trim lag Corps, now in attendance at Various educational Institutions maintaining such units will be eligible to attend the one month's course of training to be held from June 3 at Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y. ; Fort Sheridan ,111 ; and the Presidio at San Francisco.

The 45,000 members, of the boys and girls' pig clubs, says a recent publication of the United States Department of Agricul ture, will produce at least 19,000, 000 pounds of dressed pork this year, if their work is comparable to those whose members make complete reports last year. This work is judged to be extremely important in meeting the war time demand for increased food. The pig-club work has spread rapidly until practically every State is doing more or less of it as a part of the general club work. Swenty-one States have pig-club agents employed in cooperation with the Animal Husbandry Div ison and the States Relations De partment of Agriculture. In view of the great success at tending the work thus far, and because of the great need of in creasing the production of pork and pork products, the depart ment is seeking to enroll 200,000 boys and girls as "junior Boliiiers of the commissary" for 1918. Ids expected that every boy who can do so will raise one or more pigs for Uncle Sam and thus fninish the meat supply for a soldier. Birthday Surprise.

The government needs the coal. The less coal used this summer the more there will be for winter when it's needed most. Every housewife can help by using an oil cook stove in her kitchen instead of a coal range. Will you? , NEW PPECTION OIL dbpK-SOVES not only save coal for war purposes and home heating but they mean less work for the women who have them. They're less trouble to operate than a coal range. Nothing hard to understand. Simply strike a match, light the wick and regulate the heat as easily as you turn a lamp up or down. Isn't that easier than carrying wood or coal and bothering with the ashes every day? Also, the results are better, for you have the heat at one place, right under the pots and pans not over the whole stove and over the whole kitchen. But for perfect results always use Atlantic Rayolight Oil. Ask for it. Don't buy unbranded kerosenes. They look the samp but they're not. Atlantic Rayolight Oil is so highly refined that, it gives the most heat and all without smoke, putter or smell. Go to your dealer now and ask to see New Perfection Oil Cook Stoves. And then be sure to use Atlantic Rayolight Oil. THE ATLANTIC REFINING COMPANY Philadelphia and Pittsburgh teffiW ATLANTIC rCTSI ftfj Rayolioht M? kJEU7 mr rT mmtvm a in Monthly Talk.
