SAVE FRUIT PITS
As a counterblast against Ger
man poison gas attacks on, the
fie'ds of Franc® the Food Admin
istration is Issuing a call to house*
wves, grocers, c»nners and uroprie
tors of hotels and restaurants to
ai\k in the collection of fruit pits
and nut shells from which to make
cArbou C-r the millions of gas masks
need®* oy the American army.
Investigation by chgmists has
' shown that pits of apricots, peaches,
oruncs, olives, dates, cherrieg and
plums an* the shells of brazil and
I h'cbory nuts, walnuts and butter*
uu's make the beet carbon for
1 miskr. There is a double incen
| Mvo to save these. Not only wUl
I their carbon save many lives at the
front, but consumption of the fruit
from which they com© will result In
utilisation of perishable foods, while
collection of nuts for their shells
will also make possible the use of
their meats as food.
Ai» pits and shells saved should
be dried and turned into the near*
i est Red Cross organization or to
such receiving stations as may be
j designated. The Red Cross will ar
. rang* for their shipment to cen*
jtrai uoints. Grocers have been
(Oskej by the Food Administration
to provide receptacles in their
'stores, l^o which pits and sheila can
j be dropped, and to urge that their
(Patrons save every seed faithfully.
I Caun<rs have been requested, thru
j the Federal Food Administrators of

I Pits, seeds and shells should bo
thoroughly cleaned and d>ried in the
sun or in ovens before being turn
ed in. Only those named are of use:
no others should be put into the
receptacles, because time and la*
bcr must not be wasted in sorting.
Hotels and restaurants have been
asked to save pits and to aid in
giving publicity to the campaign.
Housewives putting up fruit for the

, DADDY OF ALL. FISH STORIES
Here Is One That Will Make Any
Disciple of Izauk Walton Look
to Mis Laurels.
A reader has asked us to retell the
story of the sixty-five pound catfish,
which appeared original In the column
some six or seven years ago. We have
always considered it the best fish story
we know. We trust the community
will permit us to repeat It.
As we used to tell It, the story ran
something like this: We were fishing
for bass under the old mill dam in the
river, south of Giigsby City. Some
thing took the bait and lunged away
with It despite our efforts to hold It.
We surmised, correctly, that It was a
good-sized catfish or drum, and began
working it backward and forward
across the stream In the deep water
under the dam. Eventually we headed
the leviathan down stream and finally
stranded it in the shallow "ripple" be
low. It could get neither forward nor
back, and with the help of half a dozen
other fishermen, who were watching
the contest, we landed it. It proved
to he a monster cat of the yellow or
Mississippi variety, and weighed sixty
flve potmds on tlie scales uptown.—

Nut crackers, which are based on
leverage, make us suppose that It takes
great strength to open a nut; and, in
fact, everyone knows from experience
that without such a little machine It Is
hardly possible to overcome the hard
ness of a nut. And yet one can open
hundreds of nuts In a wry short time
without any lmplc;ment and without
any effort whatever merely with the
aid of the index finger.
Place the nut upon a stone or a
block of wood, but so that the joint
stands perpendicular. In this position
hold It fast with the index finger of
your left hand, strike with the right
flst hard upon the index, and the nut
will at once break asunder. Light
blows will not accomplish the feat.j
One must strike lu.rd. It may happenl

A CHERISHED KISS
By MIRABEL LEE.
(Coprrlflit, 1918, bj Wettwn Nt«>pip*r Union.)
A series of rapid occurrences
aroused Walter Adsit from the hum
drum career of an average young man,
and within a week tested ingenuity,
courage and the tltnber he was made
of in a signally exciting way.
He had dallied in the train shed of
a big railroad to wave a departing
adieu to a friend Just as another train
pulled in. He stood for a moment,
casually watching the passengers
alight.
"Oh, Harry! I am so glad!" and
from the hand of a daintily dressed
miss a suit case dropped impulsively,
a pair of arms encircled his neck and
right on his lips a kiss was imprinted.
Then, with a dismayed cry, the be
stower of the precious favor flushed
scarlet and incoherently stammered:
"I thought it was my brother—I—"
Her embarrassment was relieved as
a man approached her, and Walter
started away, lifting his cap, not one
bit sorry for the mistake, but too much
of a gentleman to remain and further
confuse the young lady.
"This Is Miss Ward," he heard the
man say, as he tendered a card to the
young lady which she glanced at casu
ally and listened closely to an evident
explanation. She picked up her suit
case and with the man walked through
the gutes and out upon the side depot
platform. He signaled a cab and
helped the young lady Into it She
dropped something white as she
crossed the plutform. Walter picked
it up. It was a printed card, bearing
the name, "Harry Ward," and an ad
dress.
A shriek echoed out. It was followed!
by a crash. As the vehicle whizz^f
around a corner there was a en
glass as the pane In the do
pushed through.
Walter ran to the corner. 1

It was a somewhat remarkable story
that Harry Ward recited. He was en
gaged in prosecuting a claim of his
dead father. The opposition had
fought the case. A final decision In
court was now pending and the evi
dence of Miss Ward, her brother's law
yer had told him, would win the case.
The other side In some way had as
certained this. Bold, unscrupulous,
they had Intercepted the star witness,
doubtless Intending to hold her as a
captive until the case was ended,
which would fall flat without her evi
dence.

A little later the driver appeared.
In twenty words Walter satisfied
this man that if he did not give the
details of the abduction of Miss Ward
and her whereabouts he was headed
for the penitentiary. The cab driver
was, In fact, only a hired tool, but he
knew enough to post Walter as to the
best course for him to pursue.
An hour later, armed with names
and details the cab driver had given
him, Walter rushed unceremoniously
in upon an old hag In a wretched tene
ment house.
"From Devoney!" he exclaimed.
"The police are on the track of the
girl—get her, quick! I must hurry hei
