10 iAME WARDENS MAKING ARRESTS Officers Take Advantage of Winter to Round Up Vio lators of the Law officers of the State Game Com mission are taking advantage of the •winter season to round up the men who went hunting last fall in de tianee of law and good sportsman ship and in the last two weeks sev eral dozen men who were accused of violations have been busy ex plaining. In a number of cases tliey had to pay tines. The general ef feot, say the officials here, has been good and will make some of the I men realise what they have been j doing against the law-abiding j sportsmen. When the game season ended! there were numerous feports of men i who had paid no attention to the j hunters" license law and in cases it' was discovered that thc.v lived in rural communities and did not be-i lleve tie law applied to them. Two < or three gangs, including one in' fuijl county, and another in Bed-1 foTtl. were broken up and the of-j fenders lined. Similar prosecutions\ are now under way in other counties j and tJhe names of the offenders will! 1m? published. Considerable trouble was also ex-' pertenced with foreigners who went, hunting without any regard to the alien gun law und who paid scant' attention to restrictions. There was! also some trading of naturalisation papers to enable men to hunt in the' bituminous regions, but wardens j ■have broken it up and caused fines j to be paid by the offenders. The, dog law, which forbids foreigners to ; have dogs except under certain eon- i ditions, has been vigorously enforc- j od. The new dog law. it is expected.

I. imiXSKIt, AUCTIONEER D. B. KIEFFER AND CO. SALE SATURDAY, FEB. . 1018. \T 1 I\ H. AT MIDDLETOWX MONDAY EVENING, WAR BREAD HAS FOOD VALUES Little Difference in Nutri ment, Says Commis sioner Dixon "In nutritive value (he difference between mixed tlour bread and the all wheat Hour bread is Very slight. Their food value is practically the same." says Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Commissioner of Health, in a discussion of war breads. Dr. Dix on says that the war has caused new breads to bo tried as conservation measures and suggests that corn flour be employed. Bread and rolls made with as high as one-tlfth corn flour have no corn taste, he says, and he says that it is easily obtain able and has a decided ad%antaga over some other forms of flour. For months Dr. Dixon has been Studying foods and their relation to the health of the people of the state !<ecause of conditions brought about by the war. and hi.i recent talks on foot! values followed a series on the importance of keeping well and tit, eschewing excesses and getting ex ercise and sleep in regular amounts and above all fresh air. Concerning the war bread Dr. Dix on writes: "Facing the great economies that must be practiced in the time of war and in the future the population increases'and the natural produe sions of the earth become depleted, it will be necessary for us to adjust what we have in the way of essen tials. especially is this so of food stuffs. "It therefore becomes important to know what combinations can be made and the relative food value of such combinations with our standard foodstuffs. One of Philadelphia's able chemists has given me a bread combination, which he has worked up with his wife's co-operation. "They use corn flour, which here tofore has been almost unknown in our domestic bakeries, and it would seem to open the way for a very large saving of our wheat flour. It must be distinctly understood first that there is a great difference be tween corn flour and corn meal. The corn flour in composition is practically the same as the corn meal, but it contains a little more protein and starch, and a little less moisture and fat, the shortage of fat being due to the fact that the germ is extracted before grinding. It must be further understood that you cannot replace all of the wreat flour with corn flour, as the corn contains no gluten, which is the constituent in wheat flour that makes it possible ■to obtain a raised dough. "However, bread and rolls made with twenty per cent, of corn flour have little or no corn taste, and this is the percentage which has been found after long experiments, to pro duce the best bread. The same pro portion can be used also for gHddle cakes, pastry and cakes. "To make bread as it is made in the average household, where a sponge is set and no accurate meas ure of the flour is made, the better plan is to. mix a quantity of the two flours, keep it on band, and use the mixture instead of wheat flour. For a twenty per cent, mixture, take one quart of com flour and four quarts of wheat flour, mix thoroughly, pre b->- putting through a flour sifter three or four times. Of course, larger quantities may be mixed at one time, keeping the proper pro portion. In pastry even larger pro nortions of the corn flour may be used. Tn making bread, pastry, etc., use this mixture in exactly the samo proportions and treat it exactly as you would ordinary flour. "In nutritive value, the difference between the mixed tlour bread and the all-wheat flour bread is very slight. Their food value is practic ally the same, and if white corn flour is used, the bread has the same ap pears nee as the all-wheat bread. "This bread has a decided advan tage for every day consumption over most of the war breads made of whole wheat, oat flakes, bran, etc., by being free of the roughage, and consequently it is not irritating when used meal after meal and day after day and would not be apt to tire of eating it every daij. "Corn flour can be obtained from grocers, or they can get it for you as it is regularly on the market and is being made by a number of milling companies and in cost should be cheaper than wheat flour. It should be ground its fine, or nearly as fine, as the wheat flour whloh you are in the habit of using. "This bread makes a twenty per cent, saving of the wheat with no practical loss in food value and without any of the objectionable features of the coarser meals." MltS. JKSSIK YANSCOYOC TIIOSTIJ!

Millions of bushels of wheat are avail able In Australia to feed the armies of the Allies if only ships can bo ob tained, Crawford Vaughn, former Premier of South Australia, to-day told twentj-eight state directors of the Public Service Reserve, who are aiding the campaign to enroll work ers for shipbuilding. "The prime need of the Allies is ships," Mr. Vaughan said. "There are to-day 300,000,000 bushels of wheat in my country waiting for ton nage. The workmen in the yards of America must realize that every time they slacken up or take time off, the effect is just the same as if their ar tillery in France stopped the barrage lire during a charge."

As a result of the cleanup work accomplished on Saturday and yes terday all of the mines of the Read ing Coal and Iron Company resum ed work this morning. More than 1,000 laborers were employed yes terday in the vicinity of Tamaqua and in the Mahanoy regions in clearing the yards of snow and ice and the branch lines leading to the mining operations. About 150 of these laborers were sent up from Heading. The remainder were se cured from the coal and iron com pany's men. During the early hours to-day the temperature took a sud den downward course, and within six hours dropped from 27 to near zero. The change was accompanied by a high wind.

ROADS ARE "HOT" WHEN HUN SHELLS DROP N WRITES HARRISBURG YOUTH B. Franklin Etter, one of the first Ilarrisburg boys to reach France, has sent two letters recently to his family here. His narratives are al ways interesting:. He writes to his father, George E. Etter, as follows: Dear Family:— The third of December, think of it. and 1 have been six months in France. It certainly does seem a long time and I would like to get home even for a few days to see you all again. But I must confess I do like it over here and am having a wonderful time. Am settled now after my return from permission and certainly did step into It. A few days after I got back we moved and I had to hustle to collect my personal effects which someone had very kindly dis tributed to my dear comrades. Then the whole section got new cars and I had to work two days straight trying to get mine adjusted and make it run right. PiUs Start to Drop And now we have taken over a new set of posts and believe me they sure are hoi. The French have been making a series of late fall attacks to consolidate the sector for winter and we were sent to help out. And we ore doing some helping! The Boches shell the road about every hour. Of course it isn't as bad as that, but we get it often enough to make it hot. We've got to watch our chances and breeze over the roads like a streak to get to an abri. Yesterday 1 was foolish enough to stop my car on a cross road and evidently the Boche saw me as the "Saucises" were up, for I hadn't been there two minutes before their "pills" started to drop. Well I just made one dive for the nearest shell hole. One jump and 1 hit mud a foot deep, which of course, rose like a geyser when I landed. So 1 stuck there for about ten minutes, shivering and scared to death, w'hile the "eclat" whistled over my head. Then there was a short intermis sion. "between reels," so to speak. So I streaked for the car and got out of there in two shakes. Just after I left they began again. When I drove back later there were two shell holes in the road near where my car had been. No more cross roads for me! We have three posts, two of which we can get to only at night, as the Boches are all for shooting up Fords. They, the posts, consist mostly of- holes and saps in tho ground with rocks, sand bags, rails, etc., on top. It's too close to the lines to tlx up as the Boches take particular delight in dropping a few shells around it now and then just to let us know the war is still going cn. Yesterday I stood in an old Boche trench and watched a battery being shot up. Over a hundred shells landed in less than a half hour and the place looked like a ploughed Held when it was ovef. Sad Turkey Funeral Several days ago we had a dou ble funera'.. We buried the two turkeys which the Army had sent us for Thanksgiving. They arrived two days late and when they arrived they immediately became the most un popular guests I have ever had any thing to do with. There was a pe culiar rich ripe odor about them which drew upon thetr innocent heads the vilest vituperations known to man. Now there is a neat little grave by the roadside with a little cross above it and the motto "Died in the Service of the U. S." Two more unknown dead added to the long list of casualties. Plot For Lively Play I've decided to write plays for a living now. Here's one: Scene— Abri at the Post. Night. Intermit tent booming of guns and squeaking of rats. Dramtic perconae Itats. a friend and myself. Act I Myself trying to sleep; friend try ing to imitate me in the midst of coughlngsf rats in their nightly re vels. Act ll—Particular violent cough by my friend, followed by slight thud on floor. More boister ous sqeakings (seemingly delighted) lrom rats and more noisy scurry iiigs; groans from myself. Act 111— Rats still squeaking, scurrying, munching and gnawing. Friend and myself sleeping once in a while. Act IV—Morning, no more squeaking of rats. I awake to lind my friend searching on lloor, cursing under his breath. Act V—Myself In boisterous and unsympathetic laughter. My friend holding in his hand what had orce been a row of three false teeth, but now separate with the "meat" neatly chewed away. Rats probably dozing in well fed way in depths of abri. Mournful expres sion on my friend's face—who makes the statement that "I do not care for any breakfast" (not being able to chew). Tliank>giviiig in France Last Thursday we had our Thanksgiving dinner and it sure was a bear. We started out with hors d' ouvres; then soup, roast goose, apple sauce, green peas, ome let with rum, cheese and crackers and plum pudding with rum for de sert. Also candy, cakes, nuts and fruit, and champagne. And Bor deaux wine during the meal. Then coffee, cigars and cigarettes. Some dinner! I'm glad we didn't depend on the turkeys. The box you sent me arrived very opportunely. It came Thanksgiving morning, and I sure do thank you a thousand times for it. The knit helmet is fine and it was great to get the tobacco. The candy I put on the table for dinner and it cer tainly was enjoyed, also the cigs. Everybody certainly has been kind to me and I surely do appreciate it. A Menagerie of Pots We are now living in an old semi nary building which has been a Catholic school for ages. It's a huge place, built in the form of a hollow square with gardens all around it. It is a beautiful place in summer but Just now it looks sad. It has an organ in it which everybody in turn tries to play. We certainly do produce some weird sounds. Our orchestra now consists of one organ, one flute, one potato, and a mando lin. Quelle orchestra! There are three sections all to gether here and each has its pets. Ours consists of five dogs, (those wo found in the field), seven cats (both cur cats had kittens at the same time), and a rat. Another section has cats, dogs and a fox and another has guinea pigs. We put them all together one day and you should have seen the collection. And the funny part about it is they all play together. It's a rare sight. I haven't received any mall from you for so long It seems ages. I suppose it has been delayed again. I guess this will got to you after Xmas so I may as well wish you all a Happy New Year. Let me know if you got the cards, etc., that I sent you all from Paris. Write soon everybody. Love to all. FRANKLIN. Dear Family:— Three things before I forget it. First, my address is now S. S. U. 626. Par B. C. M. Convois Automobile Paris. Secondly, any packages you send, do not send care of Minister of War, but to the above address. Since the U. S. Army has taken us over we are no longer Section 2 but 626. Thirdly: it may be that I will have to cut my letters short: that is, only write a few lines if the Army icgulations require it. But 1 will let you know about that when it happens. ' i got your last two letters last week and sure was glad to hear !rom you all as it has been so long since I got your last letters. You don't know how much X miss them when they don't get here on time. It is too bad about Jack Keyn ders isn't it? But at least he tried to do something worth while "and his mother should be proud of him. It almost makes me feel proud to know that you can put a Star up for me as having one member of the fami ly in Service. Our letters are all censored now b> our Lieutenant, which makes it rather embarrassing for some ot the fallows who want to write personal attairs but he is the only one who knows what we write; so we should worry. Fine Christmas Dinner We had our Christmas dinner Christmas evening and it was a howling success in every sense o£ the word. I was on duty at one of our posts, but was allowed to come back for it. The fellows got busy the day before and decorated the room beautifully. They cut branch es of pine trees and laurel and prac tically covered the room with it. A big bunch in the center and strands leading to more bunches in the cor ners and on the walls. Then they cut Merry Christmas in a green blanket and put a red blanket be hind it. The effect was a subdued red shining out and was really very pretty. Then we had French and American Hags and our Section flag draped around. We had a Christ mas tree, too! A wonderful little pine tree which would have been your delight, Mother! Some of the fellows got some toys and trinkets from home and hung them up and decorated the tree. Then at dinner we gave them away as presents. At dinner we had the usual speeches, songs, etc., and had a mighty tine time. For dinner we had hors d' ouvres, soup, roast turkey, apple sauce, peas, asparagus and pudding. Also smokes and wine. I had to leave right after dinner and go back to the post but the ride was beautiful. There had been a big- snowstorm which just stoppea a few minutes before I started. Also a glorious full moon. It was won derful and 1 was sorry when I got to the post that the ride was over. In many places 1 was the first to break tracks in the snow. Watching a Barrage At tho post for the past week we've been having quiet a time. The Boches have taken a particular dislike to our district and shell it continually. As 1 was going up they started shelling the road and a shell had just landed before) X passed, leaving a big hole just off the road. The smell of the powder and the sight of seeing a bunch of .dirt sud denly making an ascension just about broke me up. Then up at the post X was watching a "fir di Barrage" by the Boches. it was one of the most wonderful sights X have ever seen. Shell after shell came in on a small concentrated spot on the side of a hill, I should say about 20 a minute in a space a quarter of a mile long and 200 yards wide. There was nothing but a continual crackle and little trees of smoke. I'm glad 1 was there, believe me! And they say the French Barrage has it all over the Boche. A Shcll-Do<lging Stunt Just after that there was a won derful air light. Five Frenchmen caught a Boche and took turns div ing at him and pumping him full of lead. The Boche was forced to de scend in steep circles and nose dives and the Frenchmen circled down alter him like hawks. Then the anti-air craft guns started to shoot shrapnel. As i was watching tnis 1 heard a whistle which sounded as if it was coming my way. I waited; then 1 knew it was. Just then I decided it was my move so 1 made the most beautiful nose dive into a near-bv trench you ever saw. Cov ered tifteen feet in one dive and Just lit as the shell hit about twenty yards away. It was an anti-air craft Bhrapnel that hadn't exploded in the air. Believe me lam proud of that dive. We have one post we can go to only at night, as it is in plain sight of the Boche, so I had to go up there one night and the Boche got mean just about that time and started to shell the road. And the worst of it was I couldn't go fast, as just ahead of me was a big wagon load :ed with rolls of barbed wire. X couldn't pass it on the narrow road, it couldn't go fast and when it tried, it kept dropping the rolls which I had to dodge. Some little time I had. It certainly makes you shiver to see the fresh dirt scattered all over the road. By the time I got back I felt as if I never wanted to see any more war. By the time you get this letter we will be "en repos." We are going again to a pretty little country vil lage like the place we were in the last time. Here's hoping we have as good a time as we did then. I supose you all had a wonderful time over Christmas. I surely do wish I could have been homo to en- I joy it, but I really had a fairly good time here. Everybody getting pack ages and big feeds go a long way towards making one feel good. I will tell you everything I get in my packages after this, but I think X have always done so be fore, haven't I? If you get a chance I wish you would send me some writing paper. Give my love to everybody and write soon. Love to all.

A popular feature of the bill is the breezy song and patter skit presented by Morgan and Parker. Their line of material is excellent, and they put it over to big upplause. Housh and the well-known comedy team, are also included on the list. This duo has a new offering en titled "Somewhere in Mexico," which is brimful of good comedy. Rowley and Young, in a lively dancing act, and the Shattucks, comedy jugglers, complete the vaudeville bill. The D. W, Griffith spectacle, "The Birth of a Nation," opens a three-day engagement at the ••The Htrth of Colonial Theater to n Nation" nt day. Bargain prices the Colonial prevail for this stu pendous drama of peace and war—3s cents for the' or chestra floor and 2!i cents for the bal cony. No seats are reserved except the boxes and loges, which sell for 50 cents. These can be purchased at the box office in the lobby. "The Birth of a Nation" is the marvel of theatrical managers the country over. It is a big theme that has been handled by Griffith, and his effort has been meas ured up in every respect to the his torical story that was his subject. There is no one who will not declare that this Griffith spectacle is one of the greatest yet made known to the stage. Actual participation in a bat tle on an European field would give the onlooker no more complete idea of the conflict of armies than may be had in viewing contending Union and Confederate troops in "The Birth of a Nation." In this spectacle one sees the South of Antebellum days of the war and of the reconstruction period. Through all Abraham Htneoln is the central flguro. Remarkably true to life Is the impersonation given of that great emancipator, and it is a mo ment of poignant tragedy when he is seen to fall a victim to an assassin's bullet. Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle will be seen to-day in the twin bill at the Regent Theater in Double Kill at "Out West." a comedy Regent To-day which permits no chance to laugh to get by, while Fannie Ward will ap pear in a return engagement of "The Crystal Gazer." In "Out West," All St. John, Buster Keaton and Alice Yake support "Fatty," and with their assistance he has turned out a comedy that Is tilled with novelties. It is a travesty on the usual western thriller and is one of the most interesting dramas of its kind ever produced. It is not unusual for photodramatic artists to be seen in dual roles, but Fannie Ward goes these one better by appearing in three characters in "The Crystal Gazer," which will be the second part of the double attraction at AMUSEMENTS VICTORIA THEATER EXTRA Famous Actrm at Her licat.

Theda Bara will be featured o-day and Wednesday at the Victor!. Thea ter in her M'eatest I'hetln Bara motion picture tri in "The Rose umph, called "The of Blood" Rose of .Blood." The story, which was written by Richard Ordynski, a native Of. Poland, is one of the most power ful in which this noted star has as .vet appeared, and is based on the re cent Russian revolution. The Rus sian revolution was the outburst of a people who, for years had been ground under the iron heel of oppression the overthrow of a despotic govern ment. which had long tyrannized its subjects. It is on this remarkable groundwork that the story of "The ltose of Blood" has been built and in which Miss Bara takes the part of a young revolutibnist, who is called upon by the revolutionists to kill her own husband, the Premier of the Em pire. The problem that confronts her in this situation lends a gripping in terest to this wonderful feature play. For to-day and Wednesday will be presented a new and different kind of screaming comedy, "The Milk-fed Vamp."
