PROTECTING OUR SOLDIERS

One of the great uses OF the proceeds
OF the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds is the
protecting of our soldiers in France
protecting them by arming and equip
ping them with every means of offense
and defense and supplying them with
proper food and medical attention and
everything needed to make them power
full and effective.
The idea of protection of our soldiers
has been further enlarged as Secretary
McAdoo now proposes life and disabili-
ty insurance for the men who 60 to the
front, and adequate provision for the
support and protection Of their families.
A conference was held in Washington
lately with representative insurance
men OF the country and il seems that
insuring will have to be done by
the Government and will not be done
by private insurance organizations.
Here is another wise and just use of
Government funds that will meet with
the approval of the nation.
III SpetCH OclOTc the CouicICuSS
Secretary McAdoo in part said:
at is crime for great nation to
take man and send him to fight for
his country and refuse to make ade-
quate provision for him and those who
are dependent upon him and leave them
possible objects of the charity or gener-
osity of their neighbors.
eve must see to it not only that
every American soldier is equipped
with the best that American money,
ingenuity and skill can provide, in
order that he may fight with the ut
most effect and sell his life as dearly as
possible for his country, but we must
see to it also that every American
soldier shall GO to the front with the
comforting and supreme satisfaction Of
knowing that his loved ones will not be
dependent upon charity, but that they
are as much entitled to compensation
for what they are sacrificing in order
that he may 60 to the front as he is en-
titled to compensation for what he does
at the front"

Red CrossNote

A called meeting on Tuesday even
ing of members OF various committees
brought about 25 persons to Head
quarters to plan the County member
ship drive for our territory this week.
Miss Mae Stewart and MIR. Andrew
Suffern had already layed partial plans
for the work by dividing the city and
surrounding country into 10 districts to
be visited by one or two canvassers to
each district. A call was made for can
vassers and for autos to carry them.
There was a generous response and
days and routes well assigned. Public
meetings were held one evening in
each of 8 schools and grange halls and
for day or so after each meeting
canvass for new members made in that
district. II is hoped that every one
will join and give their support to this
great humanitarian organization with
out which comparatively few OF our
soldiers would return from this worst
of all wars.
Our first box OF supplies was shipped
this week to one OF the Red Cross
warehouses. II you have helped make
or buy some Of the things that go
in il, you are certainly so happy over
it that you will interest more OF your
friends in the work. II you haven't
helped, get busy at once, and you too
will have thrill of satisfaction.
The Presbyterian Ladies Aid sewed
at our Headquarters Wednesday after
noon and will do so each Wednesday
from now on. The M. E. Ladies gave
us day recently too and we hope they
may make it a weekly meeting place.
There are plenty of days and an
abundance OF work for all the societies
that can make such an arrangement.
The Girls Scrap-book Club are send
ing five nice books in the Red Cross
box this week. They are neatly bound
thanks to Mr.. Lisk) and contain many
interesting things to entertain con-
valescent soldiers.
Remember every one is welcome at
the tea room which is open every after
noon.

TRUTH FROM THE STARS

In a recent reading Of the horoscope
which is popular syndicated feature
in the columns of some of our ex-
changes we came across this prediction
from the planets: "The South should
benefit greatly from public enterprises,
especially after August"
The stars indeed speak truly in this
instance. Soon after August the great
cantonments of the national army will
be teeming with drafted soldiers, whose
maintenance will set floods of public
money swirling through the communi-
ties where these cantonments are situ-
ated. These cantonments number six
teen, and nine of them are fixed at
favored points in the Southern States,
where our troops will be prepared for
the rigors of life in the trenches OF
Northern France through life in the
balmy air Of our own Sunny South.
In addition, the majority OF the no.
bilization camps for the federalized Ma
tional Guard have likewise been estab-
lished in Southern States, and from
these centers also there will well up
copious streams Of public money. We
have not hitherto taken much stock in
the daily horoscope" as we have seen
il from time to time in the newspapers.
But we must admit that this particular
prophecy has made ten-strike.

AN APPEAL
TO CONSERVE
FOOD SUPPLIES

BY this time the importance OF maxi
mum production OF foodstuffs in this
national emergency is well understood
by every man, woman and child In
Michigan.
The farmers, responding to the
nations call have planted record crop
and G. eerally speaking the prospects
are above normal but the final and
permanent success of this food pro-
duction campaign depends entirely on
the. ability of the farmer to harvest
thsse crops at seasonable periods.
This involves the question of labor
farm help of every description from
picking cherries to digging potatoes.
One OF the early and pressing calls
for help comes from Gamers and
Michigan being the third largest can
ming state in the union indicates how
vital it is to our very self preservation
that every surplus vegetable and fruit
product be put into cans to feed our
"Sammies" and the troops of our allied
nations on the battle fronts.
Proper nourishment for our army is
recognized above everything else to-
day as the greatest factor in our ulti-
mate military success. Abundant
wholesome food makes for sound
bodies, clear vision and good marks
manship, to say nothing of its economic
value as first aid in keeping down the
household expenses of our people at
home.
Acting upon the official suggestion OF
President Wilson, Acting Food Con-
troller Hoover, and Governor Albert
f. Sleeper, this committee respectfully
recommends, urges, yea appeals, to the
patriotic loyalty OF the women and chill
dren OF Michigan, especially those liv-
ing in the -neighborhood OF canning
plants, to hold themselves in readiness
to render any kind of service toward
the conservation OF every item of the
splendid food stuff resources of our
great state.
Michigan soil has responded in most
gratifying way, now il is our sacred and
solemn duty to harvest and can this
bountil al harvest. This crisis calls for
practical patriotism. There is no time
like the present time Enlist today
and do what you CAN.

THE COAL PROBLEM

II is possible to tell the coal situation
TO day in about four figures.
The nation consumes |, ,825, 900 tons OF
coal per day.
Ii produces, at the present rate, q
2l3,0O0 tons day.
The consumption goes on, on the
average, during 800 days a year.
The production extended, last year,
over only 230 days.
To make production equal consump-
tion this year-because consumption is
going to increase about $4,000, 900 tons
it is going to be necessary to work
the mines at least 259 days
These figures have TO do with BIZ
luminous coal only.
The question of the minute is:
Are the mines going to be able to
operate steadily for 259 days this year?
II they are we will get enough coal If
they are not we will have shortage
OF coal.
To get out enough coal-or to keep
the mines running for 259 days-it is
necessary for people to put their stor.
age orders in during the summer. Then
it is going to be necessary for the rail-
roads to supply cars to keep the mines
running more days than they did last
winter.
II we can run the mines on storage
orders fifteen more days than we did
last year, and if the railroads can, by
supplying cars in the winter, keep the
mines in operation fifteen more days
than they did last year, we will have
enough coal to 90 around. One thing
is sure, however. To meet the demand
this year We must run the mines 259
days. This is the whole problem in coal

DESSERT TO TEMPT INVALID
Baked Milk With Stewed or Fresh
Fruit Is Appetizina and Can
Do No Harm.

A perfectly innocuous dessert for
the most delicate of patients is pro-
vided by baked milk, and it makes a
very pleasant accompaniment for
stewed or fresh fruit. 1t Is verg SIM
ply prepared, as the milk is merely put
into an earthen ware jar, covered tight
ly and allowed to bake in n very slow
oven for several hours, until it is of
the consistency of very thick cream.
The main attraction about that recipe
Is its harmlessness. but n really deli
cious and nutritious pudding can be
made from the following:
Rice Flour Pudding.-One-half pint
milk, two tablespoonfuls cream, one
ounce butter, one ounce rice flour,
whites of two eggs, flayoring, one ta-
blespoonful sugar. Put the milk, but
ter and sugar into saucepan and
bring just to the boiling point; mix
the rice, flour and cream well together
and stir into the boiling milk; draw to
one side to cool and beat the whites of
egg to a stiff froth, then add them to
the rest, folding them carefully in so
as not to break down their fluffiness.
Pour into fireproof dish and bake in
Il quick oven until light golden

thousand dollars each year for poul-

loads each year.
He has been shipping annually about
twenty car loads of eggs. each contain

thirty dozen eggs. which would figure
100000 dozen eggs annually. He has
bought them from 10 cents to 40 cents
