Cy ARTHUR W. DUNN. "Washington, July Ml. Special. A few Democratic leaders have begun to look forward to the time when the United States u'vf rnment must ie- I elaro itself in regard to the terms of peace. These spee;l.it ions are made upon the theory that a truce is pos sible before the lir-t of ne.it year. One of the members of th senate who happen-1 to po-M'ss a reai knowl edge of foici-n people and particular ly the foreign element i:i tins eomitry says that the representatives ,f these various races have already begun to inquire what wi:i happen to their peo ple in Europe.

And what is more astonishing is the fact that iv) "roping" ii--elf the somite also tied up the revenue biil so that there was general delay in legislate.!.. They Call Them "Catrons." The anti-sutrrage orga ui::a t! v.i in Washing! on sends out hundreds of thou sands of pamphlet to all states whore there is a contest over woman suffrage. Those pamphlet are called "Catrons." Former Senator Catron of New Mexico I resented the document for publication in the 'o!!gr-s!o!ial Record, and. halv ing been so published, it became frank able. At first they were called the ;: tron pamphlets, but now theyhevo been shortened to Catrons. and they are known in many anti-suffrage organiza tions by that name. In this connection it may be mention ed that the former New Mexico senator, a veteran 'of the civil war, who was a delegate in congress from New Mex ieo for several term and for live years in the senate, has a wider reputation throughout the United States on a--eount of the circulation o those pam phlets than on account of all oNe in his a reer. It Benir.s to Dawn Upon James. Senator Oilio .lames f Kentucky is one of the men who ifavo hail to spend considerable time wrestling with the problem of raising revenue to meet tie war expenses. It: the? bill there is a.i increase on the rate of second class postage, and it causes a great deal of correspondence and many protests. "I begin to doubt," remarked the Pig Ken tukian recently,' "whether tine small amount of revenue to be raised by this increase less than S",Ot;0.o(M is worth the friction it will cause." A great 'many publishers are wondering why such a truth des not sink into the minds of other senators. Not a New Proposition. Senator Franco of Maryland told the senate in an illuminating speech tha? no one could claim a patent 'apnn the proposal to tlx prices of food ami other articles, lie then deled into ancient history and 'quoted from an old Athe nian who a lew hundred years D. C. had prices fixed for Greece end dire results followed. Dropping down about WO years that is, to P.03 A. D. when Koine was tottering to its fall, another effort was made to .stem the tide of high prices by a decree of an emperor. This also proved a failure- Senator France came down to about l-lo years ago la Iingland. where .'nolher in stance of price fixing by legislation failed. He dfduced from thes precedents (he idea that price fixing would be a failure ia the United States. THE FOOD FHQBLEi This Country Pays a Big Price For Its Reckless Habits. WANTON WASTE IN OUT. HOWES Each Year $7C0,C00(00O In Good Eat ables Is Flung Into Garbage Pails cr Is Destroyed In Cooking or Allowed to Spoil. Good food heedlessly thrown into garbage t ails, food allowed to spoil in the household, food ruined by improp er cooking and food destroyed by rats, mice and insects constitute the heavy items in the $7ix U.0O.G00 annual waste of food in homes in the United States. Seven hundred minion dollars is con sidered to be a conservative figure by the secretary of agriculture. In house hold waste, of course, are not included the vast losses of food allowed under improper handling or insutiicient mar kiting methods to spoil in transit or iu the hands of producers or dealers. Mu -h of this 7ud,!OvU'0i household waste of fo( d. the dietary specialists of the department declare, is easily I rev i n table. Tins preventable waste consNts ia large part of the following items: Edible food thrown inr.o the garbage pail or into the kit. dun sink. Much of the f d is thrown out. the special ists say. because so many people do not know how to utilir.e leftovers or will not take the trouble to keep and prepare them. The specialists point out: Leftover cereals can bo reheated or combined with fre.its, m-al or vegeta bles into apprtimug side dishes, and even a spoonful of cereal is worth sav ing as a thickener of soups, gravies and sauces. Stale bread oa n be utilized in a va riety ef ways ia combination with veg etables ami meats and in propping hot breads and puddings. Skrnmbk, too widely looked down upon as a food, although it contains practically all 'the nourishing elements of whole milk with the exception of te cream or fat, cm be Mel as a bev erage in cooking cereals tr us a bash for milk soups or sam es. So-.ir m so hugely thrown away, can the e used in making hot trends or in home manufacture of co.rage cheese. v Iiveiv scra; of meat or lh-h can be co'.nbint .1 v. itli cereais or oilier fee i laekhig in pronounced llavor. l oth to give flavor and to add nourishment to matte n er di.-hes. Iiverv bit of fat or sut-t. irieam -d from meat before c oking or tr'e-1 out in boiling, roasting or bre il rg can be made use'til in cooking. Many butchers, after thry have weighed meat and named the pri e for the cut. trim o'T valuable su-.-t and fat. This fat. which the houscw'.fo pays for, if taken home and t:ed, would re in e ex penditures for prepared cot .king fats. Many persons regard the saving . small amount of loftorer fool a un important. If they k-! t vure.te v.---count, however, the , specialists say, nviuy families would be astounded by the amount e'f good food they arc throwing out. Next comes the spoilage of fool tine to careless La lulling and storing in the heme. Much milk spoils quickly bo cause it is kept uncovered in wand" kitchen. Close observance of the doc trine. "Keep perishable food, especially mill:, cojl. clean and covered contin uously," may make a striking differ ence in the food bills et! many families. In other cases, one or two vegetable, beets or carrots, for instance, not need ed immediately, are thrown out or al lowed to spoil instead of being used in soups or combination dishes. Fruits which could be stewed and kept are al lowed to spoil. As to loovl spoiled by careless cook ing, m ciy housewives who complain that children and adults will not cat breakfast cereals fail to realize that the cereals they serve are undercooked, scorched or improperly seasoned and thus made unpalatable. Most of the cheaper foods require careful season ing and preparation to be fully appetiz ing. Waste in preparation is cited. Much useful food gets into the garbage pad- because the housewife in preparing po tatoes or other vegetables and fruit, sucli as apples, cuts off with the skin a considerable percentage of edible ma terial. Many persons are unaware that the green and tender tops of many vegeta bles, which contain valuable mhmral and otiier food substances, are excel lent cooked as greens or even as addi tions to salads. The over generous serving of food is held responsible for waste. Many families take pride hi serving lavish and overbountiful me.ils. Such meals lead not only to waste of food on the table, but to overeating, which often impairs health and efficiency. The sane standard. "Eat enough food and no more," rigidly followed, would reduce greatly food bills in many homes nd at the same time tend to Improve the physical condition of all members cf the household.

TAPS IN Tli Mm i Story of the Bugle Call, '-Lights Out " Now In Use. WAS FIRST SOUNDED IN 1862. General Butterfield Composed the Melo dious Strain, Which Quickly Sup planted the Old and Unmusical West Point Signal. In a book of personal letters and me morials printed for circulation among Lis friends Oliver "W. Norton, a vet eran of the war between the states, who at the beginning of his military career was brigade bugler to General Daniel Iiutterlicld's command, includ ed a bit of historical information that is of too wide an interest to be allowed to remain in such comparative obscuri ty, says the Youth's Companion. General UutterCeld had ability as a musician in addition to his ability as an army organizer. He especially de lighred in the invention of bugle calls. Perhaps the most interesting as well as the most beautiful of these calls is taps, which, according to the authori tative stovy of the general's bugler, came into existence in the following manner-: In the month of July, 1SG2. the Army of the Potomac rested !n camp at Har rison's Landing, a point on the James river in Virginia. It was immediately after the seven days of righting before Ilichmoiid. "The losses had been heavy, and the army was reciuiting its strength after the long struggle. Day and night the long, winding val ley and the hills on either side echoed to the bugle calls that marked the rhythm of the camp life. The scene was more of pence than war in spite of military duties and trapping-. The many vacant places in the ranks, to which the new army bad not yet be come accustomed, and the sobering sense of a long impending struggle Kuat v.-as bom of the early reverses from which they had just suffered put the soldiers at the close of each day into a state of meditation not untouch ed with sadness. The old cider of "lights out," which had been inherited from the earliest West Point memories, sounded a dis cordant and unsuitable note to the sen sitive music al car of C:e general. Ho immediately began turning over in his mini stub musical phrases as seemed to him t-i c- ney the sugges tion of the peace and quiet of the camp of n-st after labor. Perhaps the spir it of the hour in which that immortal musical phrase was born might be more perfectly expressed as a sense of pause, something related to the words of Shelley: All is eer silence, lie the feuifal calm That s'uir.bers in the Etorr.i's portentous pause. Having settled upon a combination of notes tlmt seemed to him to be in tune with the sentiment of a sleepin: camp of soldiers, he summoned his Lu gier, Norton, and began to teach him the new call, whistling the notes over many times atid correcting their time and phrasing. At last, satisfied with the result, he jotted the notes dosvn with a pencil en the back of an old envelope. That same night IPat'.i rheld's own brigade was the first to listen to the lingering refrain of the new call, and the next morning the buglers of other camps near by for its music had car ried far among the hills began to in quire as to its meaning and to ask per mission to learn it. "Wherever it was heard it arrested immediate attention and lingered in the memory. It passed from arrr-y corps to army corps with great rapidity and was finally substi tuted by general orders for the old "lights out" call and printed in the army regulations. Its use in the military burial service both by veterans of the war and by the United States regular army has added greatly to the tenderness of its associations. There are few musical phrases in the woPkl held in deeper reverence. Its sounding today will hush the noisiest and most boisterous throng. General Daniel Butterfield was born in Utiea. N. Y. , Oct. Gl, 1SU1. He was graduated from Union college in 1S49 and joined the Seventy-first regiment of New York in 1S31. In 1SGO he had risen to the rank of colonel of the Twelfth regiment, "which he led to Washington in April, 1SC1. For his efiieiency a? an organizer he was rapidly promoted and took part in many of the most important engage ments of the war. His brigade was one of the most famous of the Army of the Potomac, and his personal bravery endeared him to his own sol diers. After the war his organizing powers were frequently called into req uisition for great public parades and i-shibitions. He died at Cold Spring, K. Y., July 17, IDOL After the war Oliver Norton lived In Chicago, where he was one ef the pio neers in the tin plate industry. Poison Ivy.

A Pat of Butter. One pat or serving of butter ia a lit tie thing. There are about sixty-four of them in a pound, says the depart dent of agriculture. 1 In many households the butter left; on the plates probably would equal onei pat, or one-quarter of an ounce dallyj scraped off into the garbage pail. 1 But if every one of our 20,000,00 households should waste one-quartets of an ounce of butter daily on the av4 erage it would mean 312,500 pound a day 114,002,500 pounds a year. j To make this butter would take 2S5", kiCl.oGO gallons of r dk, or the product of over hair a million cows. j The United States department of ag'i riculture, Washington, or your stafo agriculture college will tell yon howj to use every bit of butter in cookery. j St. Louis Post-Dispatch.,"; ' Died For His Mates.
