A Very Good Idea

Another of the good ideas of the
patriotic American women who are
working so hard to provide necessar-
les for our soldiers and sailors, is to
accumulate Treasure and Trinket
Fund" for the benefit of the young
men who are training for the avia-
ton corps. which branch of the SER
vice is an entirely new one and conse-
quently not so well provided for.
| The idea is for the women and girls
! to contribute their trinkets of gold
and silver, to be melted down at the
mint, and the proceeds to be used in
such important supplies as textbooks,
scientific magazines, binoculars, type
writer's, proper clothing for flights
through cold air, pulmotors and hos
pitfalls in case of accident.
Every girl and woman has tucked
away In some old corner some bit of
discarded jewelry., She has always
meant to have it mended, but has not
done SO because someone has given
her newer and more fashionable
trinket
Others may have bit of battered
old plate, table silver no longer used,
some odd gift boarded because of the
giver. And in nearly every home
there is a thimble, some silver, some,
gold. All these things are wanted
for the Treasure and Trinket fund.
Nothing that you have in the way Of
gold or silver scraps is too small to
help. Send everything, anything,
you have that is made of gold and
silver that you do not want or need
|old spoons, bracelets, brooches, use
less trinkets, chains, cigarette cases,
coins.
No broken bit is too small to be
sent to the mint. No piece of jewell
ry, whether antique or modern, is too
fine for the aviation sale which is to
be held in November. In every home
there is something which can be
melted into ingots of gold and silver.
And when you have gotten them
together-all the discarded treasures,
the baubles of youth. the gifts from
friends almost forgotten, the relics
of relatives dead and gone-you will
begin to figure On the value of gold
and silver by the ounce, and you will
realize what these scraps os precious
metal can do for your country and it's
fighting men. Wonderful possibili-
ties in your little heap of treasures
anu ITifIkSCS! ana II eacn OF our
readers contributes just scraps of
silver and gold to this fund, think
how it will grow!
Remember, no money is asked for
the Treasure and Trinket Fund. The
scraps of old jewelry and tableware
you send will be converted into mon
ey by reputable silversmiths.
The head of this movement is Mrs.
William Allen Bartlett, chairman of
the aviation committee of the Nation
al Special Aid Society, 259 Fifth ave-
nue., New York.
One of our bright little patriots,
Miss Annie Benton Fuller, observing
the movement, thought it would be an
excellent move to have Treasure
and Trinket Fund" in Ocala. She
wrote to Mrs. Bartlett and has re-
ceived authority to appoint commit
tee TO carry on the work.
1t is worthy and pretty idea, and
the Star invites all who want to help
to communicate with Miss Fuller and
have the work started as soon as pos
sible.

it is lar" The package means a
bought cooky, which weight for

The Neglected Raisin

Raisins as food are unappreciated
by the average housewife. Although
they have high food value, raisins
usually find a place in the menu only
in cakes and buildings and are re-
garded more for flavor than for food
In a table of food values a pound of
raisins is equal in nutritive value to
six pounds of apples, five pounds of
bananas, one pound of bread, four
pounds of. milk or two pounds of
sugar. The English consume six
pounds of raisins per capita each year
while the Americans use only one.
When properly baked in breads and
buildings, raisins give children an al
most ideal food as well as satisfying
their natural appetite for something
sweet. Children crave sweets, and
raisins are infinitely more wholesome
than most of the candies they buy
Besides, they possess an important
medicinal value in their laxative effect.
Raisins are particularly appetizing
when returned as nearly as possible
to their original form. This Pumping
is accomplished by putting the raisins
in colander over pan of boiling
water for twenty minutes or more, or
they may be soaked and then allowed
to simmer. This should always be
done when they are to be used for
salads or sandwiches. When used
in any cooked form, the cooking takes
the place of the pumping.
