' EACH DAT MEATLESSl
Local Man on Vegetarian Diet
Thirty Years.
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. Plum pudding, without suet,
or mine pie without meat. Fermented
or unfermented Juice of the grape. In
accordance with local conditions; black
coffee.
Tea Whole wheat blarult. French

Is to give an Idea of what can be don
in such matters, and I am no expert
at arrangements of this kind.
!fe Limit to Variety.
"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.

Law Relating to Use of War
Requirements Explained.
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."

North Bend Police Chief, Disgusted,
Throws Up Job.
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.

The Cuban-American Sugar Company
, First Lien 6 Per Cent Serial Gold Notes
Authorized $6,000,000. To Be Presently Issued, $6,000,000
Due Serially, $2,000,000 January 1, 1919 to 1921, Inclusive.
Dated January 1, 1918. Interest Payable Semi-Annually, January 1 and July -'1.
Principal and Interest Payable in United States Gold Coin. Redeemable as a Whole or
in Blocks of Not Less Than $500,000 at. 101 and Accrued Interest. Coupon
Notes in Denomination of $1000 May Be Registered as to Principal Only.
From information submitted by the company we select the following points as
demonstrating the unusual strength of this issue:
The value of the property upon which these notes will have a first lien, through
collateral, is estimated by the company's officials to be over three times the amount of
the note issue. ,
Properties embrace about 469.000 acres of land, six modern sugar factories and
plantations, two sugar refineries, 384 miles of railway, 52 locomotives, 2695 cars,
over 600 miles of telephone lines and 2500 buildings.
Fair value of cane lands alone, exclusive of factories and buildings, stated to be i
50 greater than face' value of notes. "
The company will agree not to permit any prior liens to be created and at all times
' to maintain net current assets equal to at least 150 of the outstanding notes of this
issue. Net current assets September 30, 1917. nearly $12,000,000. .
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.
The company will agree to pay the 2 normal Federal income tax
now deductible at the source and to assume any further amount
thereof, which may hereafter be deductible at the source, up to a
total of 4.
A large portion of this issue has been privately sold. Subject to prior sale we offer the balance
when, as and if issued and received by us at the following prices:
One Year Notes, 99.17 and Interest, to Yield 6
Two " " 97.93 " " " " 7V8
Three " " 96.35 " " " " 7
In payment for these notes at the above prices we will accept the Cuban-American ten-year 6'
collateral trust bonds due April 1. 1918. at r002 and interest accruing to date of payment
upon new notes. Permanent notes will, it is expected, be ready for delivery within two weeks.
