Ants are attracted to sugar. but

tightly closed But the eggs of the
insects that infest certain cereals
are in the grain and no amount of
tight closing will prevent their COM

For this reason cereals should be
bought only in small quantities in
summer and should always be in
spected very carefully before using.
Grains most likely TO become in
fected with insects in summer are
various wheat meals, corn meal and
oatmeal.
Tea should be kept in a tightly
sealed container, as it loses flavor
when exposed TO the air
Figs and dates should be kept in
cold place in the summer. pre-
ferably in the ice box. They should
not be bought from a grocer who
does not take the same precaution.
They should never be bought from
the bulk, but always in carefully
sealed packages.

CARE OF SUPPLIES.

Here are things you ought to
know regarding the proper care of
supplies.
Timed goods should be inspected
regularly. A suspicious looking tin
one that shows bullying or rust
spots-should be separated from the
rest and watched for further de-
velopments.

Dried fruits. such as prunes.
dates. dried apples and apricots
should not be kept in too dry a Place
as they deteriorate when they be-
come bone dry"
Olive oil should always be kept
in the dark. Dealers who handle
oil in tins instead OF glass are well
aware that, though the tin contain
ers are not so attractive as those of
glass, they have the advantage of
shutting out the light which tends
TO injure the oil. If your oil comes
in glass see that it is kept in the
dark. While oil should be kept in
cool place il should never be kept
directly on the ice.
Spices are frequently kept on hand
for a long time, and many house
wives buy them in large quantities.
This is a mistake, for though they
do not become rancid or infected

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The effect Of the

NO PEACE WITH UNREPENTANT
MURDERERS AND RAPISTS.

A man who condones a felony is
himself guilty. The man who for the
seke OF peace permits unbridled sin to
run rampant is a co-partner with the
sinner.
The community which for the sake
4, of peace and the saving, perhaps, Of
some lives in the effort to suppress
murderers and rapists. permits them
to go scot free in order that there
may be no possibility of death of the
defenders of law and order, would be
spurned by decent men throughout all
civilization.
There are times when none but the
most despicable coward, with soul
shrunken until it has no resemblance
to the Creator in Whose image it was
made, will be willing to make peace.
] Life is a precious measure. but life
allied to unspeakable crime could only
be unspeakable woe to a good man.
Life in the shadow of dishonor, in,
dividual and national, or life where a
man had refused to face dangers in
order to save women and children
would be without value.
The coward who dares not risk his
own life when by doing so he might
save another life has little of the Di-
! vine of manhood in him.

Vivid Flashes of War.
The letter is intimately personal
and brings vivid realization of the
horrors of war such as is seldom OBJ
tanned from the censored stories of
war correspondents. Here are some
striking paragraphs:
q "As for the war, Bert, ] believe it
has just begun, and little do you
Americans realize over there what a
part we must play in this game. The
burden is now on the United States
and you must send over millions of
men to fight, and furthermore it must
be done as soon as possible. You
have no idea of the conditions of
things, but wait until next year at
this time, and mark my words, unless
something unforeseen comes up, the
United States will be hereby in war.
"And; Bert, the worst of it is we
don't know how to fight in this day

nothing. They slaughter 'em over

.SLAV DIVISION
!. WIPED OUT BY
COMRADES GUNS
General KorniIoff Takes Dras'
J, tic Steps to Restore Order
in Portion Of Demoral-
lied Eleventh Army

London, July 26.--A dispatch to the
Post from Petrograd says that un.
der General Koruilof's drastic meas,
ures to restore order in the Eleventh
army one whole division thereof was
blown 10 pieces BY their own artil-
lery. to ayenge the insults which all
loyal troops, and especially the ar
tillery, have silently endured for the
last four months from these traitor
GUS rascals. - T.. ..-.
An appalling blow is the description
of the Russian collapse given in an.
other dispatch from Petrograd and
to the Post. Never in the war has
Russia pu. afeld such enormous
armies. British and French guns and
gunners, flying machines, aviators and
British armored cars were added to
the unprecedented technical strength
of the Russians themselves to make
this particular front equal to any
thing. =. =
Artillery Admirably Placed.
The artillery was planted on
such admirable natural prepared po-
sitions as amounted to the ideal.
There were places where the artil-
lery lay in absolutely dead ground not
800 yards from the enemy trenches.
Big guns were ideally placed, thanks
to the cha. acter of the terrain.
Information regarding the guns oi
1.-THE Eleventh army almost staggers
,elief. It appears that the infantry sho,
down their own gunners in order to
get their horses or shot down the gun
horses in revenge as they retreated,
leaving practically all the artillery in
the Eleventh army in the enemy's
hands.
AS far as the artillery and techni-
cal appliances of the Seventh and
Eighth armies are concerned, there
is also no hope OF their being saved.
The Germans were already a couple
of days ago across the best road on
the shortest line of retreat. The rate
of the eneny's advance on the western
wing has accelerated and the gun po-
sitions are behind the line now occu-
pied by the Germans. It-is becoming
an exceedingly anxious question
whether the Eighth army will succeed
in getting away at all, but it is max
ing the best haste eastwards. :
Although deserted by the infantry,
British armored motor cars covered
the retreat in Galicia and later CO.
operated with the Russian cavalry in
front of Tarnopol.
