Commercial organizations ove:
the country have been i«Jinsr th<
various war activities in every eon
reivsble way ami now some of thes<
organizations are changing tlieii
usual ;>rog ranis to a very market!
de:*rce in a'.i effort ti> be of furthei
patriotic service. Notable amouj
tl>ese change of program efforts art
the dec'sions reached by three wel
known organizations to ik> awaj
with their annual member
shin banquets in order that the mor
ey usually spent on food and gaitj
m»v eo directly to the aid of thf
war activities of the aovernment.
The annual diner of the Queens
Chamber of Commerce. CCew York
C'iy. has for years been a bis and
notable event. But the seventh an
nual affair of the kind has been
*>bandc.ued. The1 Chamber authori
ties, however, did not stop with
merely passing up the dinner, but
decided to gain something for the
government by the giving up. So
cards were sent out to all the mem
bers. These cards rerembled the
usual dinner card, but read. "En
closed please find my check for
$ as a donation toward
the work of the Red Cross, in lieu
of my subscription to the seventh
annual dinner of the Chamber."
An* the money which) ordinarily
wfut for food served under the
JB03t auspicious circumstances this
year goes to the relief work of the
Red Cross.
For years the annual dinner of the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation has been the biggest event
of the kind each year in Baltimore.
Bit 191S will witness no such af
fair. The Association's executive
committee has determined that this
Is no time for these elaborate cele
brations. and as a result has de
cided to omit the annua! dinner this
jpht and thus aid somewhat in the
coaservaUca oi i-xd and other ai:u
terlals needed in the prosecution of
th^ war. Not only did the executive
committee at this particular mooting
do away ■with the annual dinner
plan, but it also ?vent on record aa
urging that In the collecton of
funds for the various governmental
war purposes all Interests he con
solidated to promote efficiency and
prevei.t duplication of effort.
In its effort to aid In a practical
way the conservation of food, the
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerco
abandoned Us annual banquet.

That wheat flour may be saved
f— exportation, the following rules
h"v» been promulgated by the Un
'te> States Food Administration:
F' r bread and "oils all hotels, ree
tturants, clubs, J>oarding houses
-nd other public eating places are
retiu.ied to purchase one pound of
wn a* flour substitutes for erery
'our pounds of wheat flour purchas
ed. Tn purchases of flour for all
otht r purposes the fifty-fifty or
pound for pound rule applies.
(Concerning this latter rule, the
Federal Food Administrator for Al
aska, owing to a scarcity of sub
stitutes. has made the ratio three
rounds of wheat flour against one
oound of some of the Tarious sub
stitutes. in the Third and First
Divisions until such, times as a
change is deemed advisable. It
mus* be bore in "mind that the fifty
fi**y plan has only been temporarily
suspended in these two divisions.)
The hotel division sf the United
3?*>fes Administration, after careful
s'udv- of wheat flour situation as
affecting public eating lunch rooms
aui restaurants has ruled that pies
and doughnuts may be served on
ivheatless days (Monday and Wed
nesday > provided thirty-three and
one-third precent or more of whea
'lour substitutes are mixed witt
wheat flour for al! pies and dougl
nuts that are served every day dur

with these regulations will not worl

SOLVED
i
Solved- at last is the year old myr
<otv of the black leather bag. Tew
day th* bag, with its valuable
con'erts. is oa the way to Ita own
er, r. Launcelot Hildebrand,
sometimes of London, Liverpool,
Chicago, San Diego, Las Vegas, N.
AT., and last but not. least. Bumble
Bee, Aril.
After months of fruitless Bearch,
the untiring efforts of the lost
and found department o* the Pa
cific Steamship Company have been
rewarded. .The bag has been ex
pressed to E. Launcelot Hildebrand,
In Las Vegas, and Perry Ottosen,
port steward for the company in
Seattle, in charge of the lost and
found department, has paused long
enough In his labor of locating oth
er owners to breath a deep Bigh of
relief. 1
fernapB tie reason waa iu»i. v»i>
ta o VV, Long, of Oadeganj Gardens,
Loudon, is with the Crusaders in
distant Jerusalem. At any rate, he
never responded to an inquiry sent
him occasioned "by a note in the
bltfe*- bag ■which said that in case
of accident to E.Launcelot Hilde
brand to notify Captain Long of
Cadegan Gardens
There seemed to be enough let
ters. mining claims, receipts for
the sale of horses in carload lots,
water right grunts and other legal
and personal papers packed in the
mysterious black bag to locate anj
person anywhere in the world, but
ail except one failed to divulge even
th» approximate habitat of the il
lusive Mr. Hildebrand.
Th,e last remaining clue, which
k, evei.tually proved that the owner
of the bag was an actuality and not
t a figment of the overworked brain
of Mr. Ottosen, was an engraved
announcement of the marriage of E.
Lauucelot Hildebrand to the daugh
ter of Mrs. Robert Topharn Steele,
31 Princess Avenue, Liverpool, Eng
land. A letter of inquiry sent to
Mis. Robert Topharn Steele finally
brought n reply, postmarked T^aa
Vegas, from Mrs. Hildebrand, who
asked that the black bag be sent
to har husband at that town, but
the failure of Mr. Hildebrand to
makt inquiry for his bag still re
mains unexplained, aalthough It
can be accounted for in a general
way.
L.onc: experience 01 uie
SifranishlD Company has proven that
& large proportion of travelers
leave valuable articles behind and
are not able to recall, even approxi
mately. where they left them. Ai re
port just compiled by A R. Gardner,
head of the Pacific Steamship Com
oany's commissary department, on
the subject shows that during the
year 494 articles of value wore
left 'n staterooms by passengers. Of
this number only 129 were claim
ed by the owners, and in many
instance? the owners had to be run
down as was Mr. Hildebrand.
According to Mr. Gardner, to a
person not acquainted with the ins
and oats of a lost and found de
partment of a steamship or Taidroad
company or a large hotel, it is ag_
tOnuMiu how careless the traveling
.public i« with, regard to its valu
'^ableg. The year's gleanings in
clude-1 numerou^ watches, the value
of one being $500. A passenger on
the Yale #aliced blissfully ashore,
leaving behind a wallet containing
$800 in cash. Incidentally, the
hones' steward who found the wal
let and turned it over to the Com
pany received no reward from the
owner when he finally claimed it.
Mr. Hildebraad left his bag on
the Admiral Schley in October, 1916.
For several months it was held with
out being opened, awaiting its
owner to claim it. Then its
contents vere examined, their val
ue ascertained, and the world wide
«®ar<-h for Mr. Hildebrand was be
gun. Letters of inquiry addressed
to him et the Onwentsia Polo Club,
and Deer Path Inn, Lake Forest,
111 , Coronada Country Club, Cor
onadn, Cal., and elsewhere failed
to reach him. Inquiries sent to the
secretary of the Arizona Cattle
Growers' Association at Phoenix, to
the postmaster at Bumble Bee, Ariz.,
and to various other persons in
this count-y and Europe were equal
Jy futile.
The lost and foundl department
clung to its quest, however, to the
vrrv lagt address in the baffling
Mac1- bag. The determination to
find tho owner became an obsession
with Mr. Ottocen. He dreamed
about it at nigh and saw its many
paoers march across the foot of his
bor* «n tantalizing array. No more,
however. will »t hang, figuratively
sneaking, about hia neck, for it Is
now cn its way to E. Launcelotj
H'idebrand. ' " ! ' |j||

Doan's Kidney Pills were used—
Ttify brought benefit.
T.rne has strengthened the evi

The proof of merit is convincing.
1.. Bauer, 203 S. Delmas Ave.,
?an Jose, Caluf., says: "I was tak
en with a terrible pain, ia my back.
If l stopped, lifted or made a
misstep, d-irting pains shot thru
m^- kidneys causing the worst kind
of suffering. I got a box of
Doan's. Kidney Pills, being told
they were the best medicine to be
had for Dains in the back and oth
»r kidney trouble. They removed
the uain and distress and I have
never had a return of the com
plaint." (Statement given October
23. 1912.)
THE RESULTS LASTED
Oj May 22, 1916 Mr. Bauer said:
"My cure has proven to be a per
