Jan. 26, making it 2:1 days on the road. The doctor, who is with the hospital corps, says he has traveled pretty well over Northern France und has been within sound of the big guns, but so far has not en countered any of the Athena boys. He says he receives an occasional copy of Portland and Pendleton papers, but as they are from thirty to thirty five days old, the news is slightly stale when it. reaches him. Press subscribers as a rule are tak ing advantage of the paid-in-advance offer of II. BO per year, yet there are others who seem disposed to think it will oblige them to drag behind to the end of the year and then pay the $3.00 rate. That all may understand, we have published notice to the effect that afterWarch 1, 1918 the Press will be issued to subscribers for fl, 50 per year when paid in advance, otherwise $2.00 per year will be the price. We do not solicit nor do we want subscriptions on any other basis. If you do not pay in advance and do not order the paper dis continued, we take it that you prefer to pay the $2.00 rate. There is abso lutely no profit in the subscription list of newspapers at present high cost of paper stock, hence the inauguration of this sliding rate.

Food tht Soldier Etta When His Resit lar Supply Fails. Of the emergency rations of tho BgbteN of the world the most ostentn- Ileus Is Uncle Sum's lutlon of com pressed maize meal with meat, farina and three chocolutc bars. This ration la deficient In fats for the very good reason that, even though hermetically sealed, It would become rancid If It carried nny more fat. It Is not there fore u balanced ration, but tho con tainer holds enough actual food to keep a soldier from starving for twenty-four hours. The British troops as well as the Dutch have a sausage made of ground pens highly salted, reported to have been originated by the Scotch and which Is put up In regular sausage skins. It Is said to be the most sus taining emergency ration known. The Italian bit ter ball is interesting because of the perfect preservation of the ununited butler within the dry cheese envelope. The compressed tab lets of tea make it possible for one to eat his tea ir water Is not available, (be Russians getting what they cull a dry cup of tea by slipping a tablet of compressed tea into the nimitli mid al lowing It to dissolve slowli'. All sorts of meat and Hsli are dried In sheets and strips and luniks by the various armies. These are not the foods, however, upon which armies live, but the emer gency rations upon which the soldier depends when the regular rations full. -Christian Herald. Strayed or Stolen.
