FOOD CONSERVATION.

To save and serve with Hoover has become almost a national slogan among American housewives. The ex- pression of one woman in New Mex ico, however, is typical of a great many more in the great southwest. She was attending an organization meeting whose purpose was to impress the supreme need of conservation. Af- ter fervid speech by a visitor this woman from New Mexico rose and said: "You women make me laugh you come here and tell us to practice economy and conserve food. Why that's all we've done for years! We're ranch women. When we first came here we barely hand enough to live on. We've had to save every scrap. That's what we've done for years-save, con serve and economize." So fortunately, the housewives of today-to a great extent-will not have to re-learn the lessons of the pioneers which the gov. ernment is so earnestly advocating for the whole country. Here we know that vegetables do not grow in tin cans and bread in bakeshops. Our task Is to feed not only our own but the allied army and present condi- tions in the rate of production show we can furnish 60 per cent of the food required-but what of the 40 per cent that we fall short of? That is evi- dently our problem. It has been said that women control 90 per cent of the food consumption and for this reason the message comes to the women of the United States.
 Go get that extra 40 per cent.

AN EXPLANATION.

Some time ago quantity of alcohol, ,confiscated by the authorities of Flag staff during the "booze-cleanup" cam- paign, was turned over to the Nor nal School by Judge Crosby for use in the Chemical and Biological Lab ratories. This material is kept along with other chemicals and supplies of the laboratories. The same precau- tions are observed for its keeping as are maintained for all material to be used for laboratory purposes.
 Reports are abroad that persons have entered the building to get at this alcohol. Criticisms are also hint ed at because the Normal School has in its possession this alcohol.
 The alcohol turned over to the school by the authorities has been de- natured by the addition of deadly poisons, according to standard formu- lac for denatured alcohol; it is thus trendered totally unfit for the purpose of beverage, and any person "snoop- ing around" and using the alcohol for such purposes does so at the risk of his own life by being poisoned-the same as if he were to drink of the chemical contents of dozens of other vessels kept in the chemical labora- tory.
 To those who criticize we would say that it is impossible to carry on a complete line of laboratory work without the use of alcohol. Its need and use in the laboratory is recogniz- ed by all who have any scientific work in charge. For many of these uses nothing can take the place of alcohol. The alcohol referred to above and de- natured as explained above cannot be used as a beverage but still has val uable uses as chemical in the labo- ratory. ..,. In so far as the authorities were able to give to the school in this way a quantity of material to meet a chem ical need, to that extent they effected saving to the State of Arizona; for the chemical laboratory of the Nor nal School obtains its supplies iron, the State appropriations, backed up by the people of the State. At this time of. the Nations need, when nearly ev- erybody advocates the conservation of our resources, why criticise the legiti- mate use of much needed chemical |? J. G. Mcintosh, lecturer on the man. ufacture and applications of alcohol at the Polytechnic, London, names over four hundred legitimate uses, not me. dicinal, of alcohol in the arts, crafts and industries. \
 Furthermore, by virtue of the dena- turing process referred to above, the quantity of confiscated alcohol which was turned over to the Chemical Lab oratory was destroyed, totally destroy ed, for all purposes of beverage Therefore the requirements of the law were complied with.

AT THE FEDERATED CHURCH

The services on Sunday next at the Federated Church bid fair to be Of unusual interest.
 Dr. Baum will take as his text for the morning service Look You, I'll Go Pray" We need enlightenment on the subject of prayer-doubtless we will find it in this morning service.
 The evening service is one largely for men and the night will be desig- mated as "Men's Night"-"A Sermon for Men" Make it a rousing service and see that those not in the habit of attending are there that night at least.

blue silk pajamas had been dyed
red.
She had first been struck in the
face with fist and when this lit
tie woman of the world-known
as the daughter of life-showed
she could fight, her assailant used
a flatiron to crush her skull and
then tied her own silk stockings
around her throat.

The murderer probably stood
and watched the girl drag herself
across the floor and there col
lapsed.
Great pools of blood at that
spot proved it was where she had
died. By the dim light of a
boudoir lamp the man lifted her
body and placed 1t on the bed.
He pulled the stockings as tight
as possible, pulled the sheets up
over her face and tried to efface
any traces of the struggle.

Fingerprints Found.
Fingerprints, stamped in blood,
covered the bed-clothing and
walls. They were all of the same
person, and, detectives pointed
out, proved that, while the man
probably had planned the murder
before he visited the house, he
was a novice at crime.
A master criminal, they said,
would have taken care to use
gloves.
Another finger print had been
left on the girls forehead, where
an effort had been made to pull
her hair down over a wound.
A blood-stained silk shirt and
collar that had never been laun-
dered were also found to have the
same prints.
