WORK FOR LANCAS-
TER WOMEN TO DO.

The women of Lancaster can help in
the great war that is now going on and
in which the United States has just en-
tered. 1t is impossible to put too much
emphasis upon the necessity for saving
by every one during the war.
Food is going to play as important
a part, if not more important part,
in the war than guns and ammunition.
The saving of food is very largely an
Individual problem. In the final ansly-
sis it is up to the women of the nation.
Every woman should do her part in
the governments campaign to increase
and conserve the nations food supplies.
The food necessities of all of the ma
tons with which we are allied in war
against Germany are very great.
The people OF America must save
every pound of food that self.impcsed
ridgid economy makes possible. to the
end that there be the greatest possible
surplus for shipment to our hard-press-
ed allies. DO not make the mistake of
confusing the food problem with the
financial problem. You have no moral
right to waste food simply simply be-
cause you can afford to do so than has
your smsl-income neighbor. 1t is not
a question of saving food for the
moneys sake. IL must be saved SO
that there will be enough to 20 around.
Every pound of food that finds its
way to the garbage can means that
much loss Of fighting strength. Volen-
teer today. for the duration of the war.
in the great American army of food
savers. Begin now, today, to demon
strate thrift in YOUR home. Make
saving, rather than wasting, YOUR
social standard. You can fight for
your country in your kitchen just as
effectively as your husbands, brothers,
sons and sweethearts are fighting for
II on the field Of battle.

PREVENTIVE DENTITRY
On. S. Hatfield, Dentist

For many years past the best talent
of the medical profession has been hard
at work in the effort of preventing
disease.
When your physician is called to at
tend member of the family his first
attention is, of course. toward relief of
the suffering; but if the illness is due
to an infection or contagious disease
your physician loses no time in protect
ing the other members of the family
and community from the same disease.
Unit! recently the dental profession
has made little progress along the line
of preventive treatment. However.
within the last few years manv school
managers, and large commercial con-
Germs, are taking steps IN this direction.
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
no student or laborer of any sort is 100
per cent. efficient while suffering from
dental disorders.
Diseased teeth and gums certainly
impair mastication. which overburdens
the stomach. resulting in disorder of
that important organ. And what lndi-
viduai is content to wilfullv allow his
stomach to labor under such handicap
during the year 1917?
A series of lectures will be published
in this paper for the sole purpose of
educating dental troubles. No effort
will be made to display the skill of any
particular dentist.
feel sure that any progressive den-
fist will take genuine pleasure in an
swering any question which the laity
may ask along this line.
Look well to the care of the teeth
and gums while they are in good condi-
ton. and thereby reduce dental bills
and increase the life and usefulness of
your teeth. Ailments OF both mind and
body will be lessened.

DELIGHTFUL LECTURE.

Miss Meddie o. Hamilton delighted a
small audience at the Presbyterian
church Monday evening. This lecture
given by this gifted woman was rare
treat and every seat in the auditorium
should have been taken, those who
were absent were the losers. Besides
the masterful lecture she read several
OF Burns poems. To hear Miss Ham
ilton interpret these poems in her
gracious manner and charming voice
was great opportunity that no lover
of literature should have missed. Al
together Miss Hamilton gave most
delightful evenings entertainment.

capacity as making sheets, pillow
cases, convalescent robes, knitting
sweaters and socks, and making field
