WAR SUMMARY
(By Associated Press.)

News from the Flanders is scant,
the most important item being an an
nouncement in the British official re-
port that the French had again gained
ground on their front northeast OF
Bixhshmott No mention is made In
either the British or the French state
ments of the extent of the artillery
activity, which yesterday was giving
indications of growing intensity. The
front in France was inactive last
night, except for the customary artil-
lery bombardment. Recent advices
from southeastern Russia have reflect
ed the opinion there that the Teutonic
offensive from Galicia and BukOwina
and the Black sea port of Odessa in
view, with the grain crops in Bessara-
bia as the immediate objective. What
ever the aim of the Teutons, however,
the stiffening Of the Russian defensive
is at least slowing down their adj
vance. having apparently checked it
altogether in some sectors. ,..

BY HANNAH WRESTLING.
Bread Making Expert, Department
of Agriculture.)
To assure success in bread making
it is important to maintain absolute
cleanliness with regard to the ma
and the hands. The flour should be
sound and free from foreign odor and
taste.
Concerning Yeasts.
Compressed yeast should be as fresh
as possible and free from any odor
other than the well known yeasty
odor. 1t should be fairly soft, but
should break easily. It should never
be mixed with any liquid which is
more than lukewarm. Liquid yeast
should always be kept covered and in
a cool place. It should also have only
a yeasty odor and should not be kept
more than two weeks without fresh
ening. In many places compressed
yeast cannot be secured. One cake Of
dry yeast will serve the same purpose
as one of compressed yeast. Dry yeast
must be soaked in water for ,1-2 to I
hour before using to bring the yeast
cells back to an active state. The use
Of dry yeasts calls for the long fer
mentation method to give time tor

No Supplies Sold
Says II. D. Gibson

The following statement has been
issued by Harvey D. Gibson, general
manager Of the American Red Gross:
"A story Is being circulated to the
eject that sweaters, socks, and other
articles ksitted for the Red Cross are
being sold. either to the public in
shops or direct to the soldiers. This
is emphatically not true. No articles
whatever, either knitted or otherwise
made by the Red Cross workers and
turned into any Red Cross chapter,
branch, auxiliary, or to any supply
warehouse, are sold either to the SOL
diers or in shops.
IF any willful case Of this sort
shauld come to the attention of head
quarters, the charter of the Red Cross
chapter or subsidiary sanctioning it
would be Immediately Withdrawn with
full publicity. Should it transpire that
an actual instance of the above char
acter occurred wherein an individual
sold articles after their having been
turned in to the Red Cross, such ac-
ton would be clearly in violation Of
p. h fundamental law covering the Red
Cross, and we would take vigorous
steps to prosecute the offender.
"It is also true that any case Of
persons, other than those acquiring
the right prior to January, 1905, using
the name or emblem of the Red Cross
to assist in the sale of merchandise,
is a violation of the provisions Of the
federal criminal law, and the offender

should be reported to the United
States district attorney for prosscu-
ton.
There is no way to prevent people
from making the same type Of articles
as are produced by Red Cross workers
and selling them for their own advan-
tage, thus subjecting the Red Cross
to unjust criticism. Should they use
the name or emblem Of the Red Cross
in connection with such sales, how
ever, they will be vigorously prose-
cuted.

Saving her strength is about the
last thing of which a conscientious
housewife thinks. II the furore for
saving everything else, millions of
women are at the present moment
throwing away their energy: Saving
human strength is as important as
saving food. If strength Is wasted.
extra food. extra rest, and extra doc
toring are required to make the loss
good.
Saving ones strength is as much an
act of patriotism as saving potatoes.
The commonest way in which wom-
en- tire themselves out is by 'slump-

SAVING STRENGTH IS One OF
W0MAN'S IMPORTANT DUTIES

The fresh and fit woman knows
how to stand. walk, carry weights,

In the correct position. And when

Many women waste coolies of

They s all the muscles of the trunk

only the arm muscles are required.
And the muscles Of the body can
grow weary when a woman sits down
to rest-if her back is arched instead
of straight. For Their the muscles are
unduly relaxed in front and strained
in the back, the chest sinks, the. head

! that organization is doing, has been
announced by Judge N. C. Young,
state director.
With several speakers already vol

GERS certain to come forward enlist
ing their time and ability, Judge
Young is thoroughly satisfied with the
manner In which the plan is being
placed under way, and he expects it
J will become an important activity in
the Red Cross.
A German speaker will come to the
state the middle or latter part of this
month, and will spend about three
weeks in the state. His itinerary has
not yet been arranged, but his mission
will be to speak to the Germans in
North Dakota, of which there are
many. The German speaker who has
assured the state director Of his sup
port is one of the leading men in the
northwest, and is splendidly equipped
to carry the message.
Judge H. G.. Wick of Pembina coun-
ty, and N. c.. Buck, Of Jamestown,
have already advised Judge Young
hat they are ready and willing to
axe up The lecture work wherever
they may be assigned, and Judge
Young has letters from many others
dealing with the subject. He expects
to organize a corps of Red Cross
speakers second to none.
