other purchasers of food are advised
as follows by the committee -
The manufactures, the wholesale
dealer and the retail dealer keep on
the watch all the time to find out what
the public wants. OF late years the
public has seemed TO want food in at
tractive packages at a high cost. As
soon as people learn that by demand
ing it they can get exactly the same
food in bulk, kent in a perfectly sani-
tary maner, for about one-half to two
thirds the cost of package food, the
manufacturer, the wholesaler and the
retailer will meet the demand. This
is one way to cut down the cost of liv-
ing, one way TO live just as well for
less money. Study the question your
self and pass these pointers on to your
neighbor''

Buy IN Bulk and Saue
on Cost of Food, Perkins
Committee Urges Women

Food that is wrapped and sold in
attractive looking packages must of
necessity cost more than the same
food sold in bulk, which means sold by
the pound
In the first place, the box or jar
containing the food costs money. The
wax paper used costs money. The
| wrapper costs money The printing
on the wrapper costs money. And it
also costs money to fill the packages
and seal them.
Less Food For the Money.
ut follows, therefore, that you can
not possibly get so much food for your
money when so large a part of your
money has to pay for the box. wrap
per, printing and other things
! Then the committee diagnoses the
+ reasons Why food is put up in pack
ages, as follows:
''First-The package looks pretty,
appeals to the eye and makes the food
seem more appetizing
"Second-Most Of the packages are
air tight and dust proof, and for sani-
: tary reasons a great many people pre-
fer food that is done up in packages.
I AS q matter of fact, it is possible
( for your grocer TO keep on hand. in
bulk, exactly the same foods as the
2 packages contain, and it is also posi-
Bile for him to keep them in bulk in a
perfectly sanitary manner, so that
dust and dirt cannot reach them.
eve have looked into the matter of
/ the relative cost OF certain articles
bought in packages as compared with
the same things bought loose or in
bulk. The articles referre dto were
purchased by our own investigator. the
quality was compared and the articles
weighed and measured in our own of
flee"
Here is a list Of articles of food
which the committee reports can be
bought in bulk instead Of in packages
at very material reduction in cost:
Rolled white oats, steam-cooked ce-
reals, tapioca, vinegar, tea, soda crack

Throughout the country the plan Of
the Bureau of Naturalization of the
United States Department of Labor to
enlist the cooperation OF public
schools in the education and Amer
icaniZation of candidates for citizen
ship is receiving the most gratifying
support. approximately 400 cities
and towns have already joined in this
nationwide educational movement for
the elimination of the hyphen and
this number is increasing daily.
The magnitude of this work and its
development since its inception are
shown. in part, by the territory COW
cred. the number of candidates for
citizenship reached, and the night and
day schools which have been estab-
lished for their instruction. 1t is the
intention of the Bureau of Naturaliza-
ton to communicate with all appli-
K ants for citizenship in the United
and TO secure the opening of classes
for them. During the current schOl-
astic year all superintendent of
schools where classes may be formed
will receive monthly from the bureau,
the name, address, age, nationality,
and other necessary information con-
corning each alien residing within
their jurisdiction who files a declara-
ton of intention or petition for natu-
ralization. In this manner the school
authorities are enabled to get in touch
with such applicants and afford them
valuable assistance in preparing for
citizenship. In addition To this the
bureau informs each applicant for cit
izenship that his name has been for
warded TO the educational authorities,
advises him to 90 to school, and points
out the benefits to be derived from
such attendance. The bureau is also
working in close cooperation with
various patriotic and civic bodies Of
the country to secure the opening of
public night schools where there are

American Schools ThroiUn Open
to Candidates For Citizenship

The wives of all petitioners for
naturalization are also advised TO at
tend school. for the reason that they
derive citizenship when their hus-
bands obtain their final papers. and
because, too, such instruction will ma
terially aid the family to live as Amer
leans live. 1t has been found that ap-
proximately two ont of every three
petitioners for naturalization are mar
ried. and ii is toward the improve
ment of the home life and conditions
that this phase of the movement is
especially directed
The records of the Bureau of Natu-
ralization shows that since the com
meneement OF the school year on Oc-
tober | notifications have been sent
TO approximately 10000 declarants, co.
600 petitioners. and 1900 wives of
petitioners, and each day hundreds
are added to the list
The present volume of naturalza-
ton shows that over half million
foreign-born residents annually bring
themselves within the jurisdiction of
the Bureau of Naturalization. and it
is the plan of the bureau. through the
cooperation of the public schools with
its educational movement, to change
that portion of the alien body now in
a condition of helpless dependence or
mere self-maintenance to the state of
productive capacity which is the
birthright of all American citizens re-
Sardless of their origin of birth.

MISSISSIPPI WILL
HAVE ROAD BUREAU
MORRISON OUTLINES HIS PLANS
FOR HAVING STATE TAKE
INTEREST.

d. J. Morrison, the original and ev-
erlasting booster for Good Roads and
More OF EN-" in Mississippi, is now
working for a state bureau TO care
for road building.
Mississippi has no state highway
department. 1t has, however, high
way association and of this associa-
ton d. J. Morrison, known to all his
friends as Dan, is the leading light
and main booster And Dan Morrison
thinks good roads, dreams good roads
and knows good roads.
For years Mr. Morrison has studied
the art and science of road building
1t is his business. But he has not
studied the subject for selfish pur
poses alone. Ha has other interests
in the state besides this one business,
large interests, and through the eX-
Eerience and education gained in his
business trips has come to realize that
the great need of his state is the i'm
provement of its transportation facili-
ties-in other words a system of bet
ter highways.
Mississippi is as is well known, an
agricultural state said Mr.. MOrri-
son yesterday when rounded up for
q little talk on his favorite subject.

Why should you buy things in
packages when oyu can get almost
twice as much of the same article
for the same amount Of money If
YOU buy it in bulk?
Sit down and make a list OF the
various foods that you have been in
the habit of buying in packages.
Think of the money you might
have saved had you bought them in
bulk.
Make up your mind to buy them
in bulk in the future if it is possible
for YOU to get them.
1t will pay you to break yourself
OF the package habit. There are
many foods sold now in packages
only that Jour grocer will be glad
to carry n bulk as soon as he
knows that you and his other Gus
toners want them.
