WILLIAM GALVANl THRIVES Robust Physical Condition of Crixilj Cited as Result of Learing Slcsh Foods Entirely Off tbe Menu. Row would it Mem to alt down to tit New Tear's dinner, the Christmas meal, or even the Thanksgiving spread and eat not a single dab of meat? Auk William II. liilnnL He knows. "Nix- on the toothsome turkey, the tastv capon, the succulent goose or the roasted duck. He eats none of these, nor has he for 30 years. Instead, his diet Is mad up of grains, nuts, roots and berries. Look at the Mir. strong, grlxxlr bear, he says, and note his runted health. How powerful he Is. and yet he eats no meat. He lives on roots, nuts, grain and berries. Then Mr. Galranl slaps his own chest and avers that the diet of the grUsIy make a man strong- and rugged, too, and that in this respect the grisxly Is worthy of Imitation. Here Is about what Sir. Galvant ate yesterday, and this la a sample of a holiday menu: Breakfast Oranges, baked apple, oatmeal, with crratn or butter or fruit syrup. Toast, tea. coffee or cocoa. Dinner Grapefruit, cream of potato soup, omelet with fine herbs. Lima beans, baked sweet potatoes, mush rooms en toast, artichokes, celery, let tuce with oil and lemon dressing, pine apple Ice.

"The average housewife Is fully in formed In these mysteries and there Is no end to the wonderful things sh might many "a fading Ufa provide,' to use an Ontario expression. "I could give you a vegetarian menu for every day In the year, including extras for special occasions, and with a variety in eatables and drinkables to satisfy any epicure whose senses of sight, smell and taste are not hanker ing for the fleahpots. Mr. Galvani has been a strict vere tartan for 10 years and even at this time of the year, when most everyone thinks a dinner Incomplete without turkey or other dainties of the holl day time, he adheres to a non-meat dietary. During moat or lbs last 3D years Mr. Galvani was connected with railway engineering work In the Northwest. In fact, he Joined the engineering staffs of the big railroads when their pres ent lines were scarcely In existence. and that meant plenty of hard work, camping and tramping in the moun tains, sagebrush and sand drifts, and enduring toll and fatigue with the sturdiest of the flesh eaters. Cook Co-operates Cheei tally. All I had to do." ho said, "was to Initiate the cook in the mysteries of a meatless diet and I had no further trouble, excepting occasionally when supplies were short. But even then my difficulties were not bard to bear, for where there la a will there is a way. "Then, too, the greater part of the human race Is vegetarian anyway, though net all of it la such from choice. The result, however, is the same. Except those who turn to such a diet as a last resort, when all else has failed to prop up their shattered frames, vegetarians are generally in tbe best health, free from many die eases contracted from the use of flesh of diseased animals, and enjoy the choicest things of the world for their eatablea and drinkables." And when it comes to Hoovsriilnif, Mr. Galvanl's programme is ahead of all others. CURB Ofl EXPLOSIVES irtal eetue, tree of cnargo, can bo obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

PERMITS MUST BE GAINED Issue of Powder Required in Varl' ous - Industrial Pursuits Per mitted, but Care Slust Be Taken Against Misuse. In order that the publlo may be fully Informed as to the provisions and re quirements of the new Federal act reg ulating the manufacture, storage and uso of explosives, the following state ment has been prepared by E. C. By ford, commissioner of explosives for this- district: "To assist in the work made neces sary by an act of Congress entitled 'An act to prohibit the manufacture, distribution, storage, use and posses sion in time of war of explosives, pro viding regulations for the safe manu facture, distribution, storage, use and possession of the same and for other purposes.' which law became effective November 15, 1917. the Bureau of Ex plosives was drafted by the Bureau of Mines for the purpose, appointing the bureau inspectors United States Ex plosive Commissioners. The primary purpose of this act is to prevent the wrongful use or possession of explo sives. Following are some of the re quirements of the act: ' 1. No person shall have la his possession. or purchsso. accept, receive, sell or other wise dispose of or procure explosives or in gredients, except ss provided In the act. 2. The superintendent. I foreman or other duly authorised employe at a mine, quarry or other work, when licensed, may sell or Issue to any workman under him such an amount of explosives or Insredlents as may be required by that workman In the per formance of his duties, and It is legal for the workman to accept and use the ex plosives thereby Issued, but such superin tendent, etc.. must see that any amount of explosives or lnxredienta not used In the performance of such work Is returned, and that no explosives or Ingredients are taken by the workman to any point not necessary to the carrying- on of his duties. Section 9 of the act provides for the. keeping of an Itemised and accurate record showing to whom explosives aro sold. given or bar. tered. or to whom or now otherwise dis posed of, the quality and kind of ex plosives, and the date of each such sale, gift, barter or other dispositions, and this record shall be sworn to and furnished to the director of the bureau of mines when ever reauested. Section 10 or the law requires thst every user of explosives must have a license, and this la designated either as a purchasers, vender's or foreman's license. A purchaser's license is necessary for the purchase of ex plosives snd for the possession of the same and In connection with the work of con tractors and railroad employes, so It is necessary that every precautionary mens ure should be taken to prevent explosives being stolen or being used for Improper pur poses. "Information as to applications for licenses should be requested of the nearest licensing officer. The Bureau of Mines has appointed a large num ber of County Clerks as licensing of ficers and in the event of there being no appointee named in any district the assistant to the Director, Bureau or Mines, Department of the Interior, Washington. D. C. should be communi cated with. As in the- past the Bureau of Explosives Commissioners will con tinue to Inspect explosive factories, storage-houses and look after the transportation of same In accordance with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion regulations."

MARSHFIELD. Or., Jan. 1. The po sition of Chief of Police In the city of North Bend Is no 6inecure, since that officer's duties Include cleaning the streets, a job hardly in keeping with the dipnity of the office. Chief of Police Peter Anderson, after a year's service, took that stand and submitted a request for a rise of $10 per month and accompanied the de mand by his resiRiiation if the Increase were not erranted. Chief Anderson had been receiving $90 per month, which, he said, in war time was not sufficient. The City Council rejected his request for more pay and accepted his resignation. f t The Cuban-American Sugar Company , First Lien 6 Per Cent Serial Gold Notes Authorized $6,000,000.

Net income for the year ending September 30. 1917. after reserving $2,500,000 for income and excess profits taxes, over twenty times interest charges on this issue. . ( f Company states that properties have been so improved and organized that it will be able to make substantial profits at normal prices for sugar. ' v :', The equity behind these notes, as evidenced by the present market prices of its pre ferred and common stocks, is valued at over $20,000,000.
