WARTIME DEMAND FOR
 COTTON IS ENORMOUS

Recent investigations in the use of cotton in war show:
 A 12 inch gun disposes of a half bale of cotton with every shot fired. A machine gun in operation will use up a bale in three minutes; in a naval battle like the one off Jutland over B. eco pounds a minute are con- sumed by each active warship; more than 10000 bales a year are needed to provide absorbent cotton for the wounded; one change of apparel for all the troops now engaged in the war represents more than a million bales.

TUBERCULOSIS.

Tuberculosis is perhaps the oldest recognized disease of live stock. It is referred to in the Old Testament and has been the source of much discus sion and trouble ever since.
 The extent of the disease may be seen from the records of the B. A. l., which state that 10P6 of all dairy cat tie, 18o of all beef cattle and 28o of the swine in this country suffer from Tuberculosis.
 As no tuberculous meat can be sold as food the packers stand an annual loss of s14,000,0O0, which in turn is taken out of the profits of the stock raisers. If there were no tuberculo- sis animals in the U. S. the ranchers would receive s14 100000 more for his stock than he does at the present time.
 It is a disease that can not posi- lively be recognized from the symp- tomatology. The only sure and reli- able method diagnosing T. B. is by what is known as the Tuberculin test.
 With this knowledge and the coop eration of every stock raiser in the country, it would be just a question of time when we would be free from this destructive disease.
 Some states and communities have enacted laws governing the stock in their own territory and are rapidly cleaning out the disease. Certain dairymen now have herds entirely free from T. B. and by careful hand ling and judgment in future purchas- es keep their herds free.
 Our local town boards can assist in this work and protect their citizens from contracting T. B. by allowing milk from tested" cows only to be sold within the city limits. In this way the dairyman will be compelled to get rid of all tuberculous animals and he himself will benefit.
 As tuberculous cattle may be the source of the infection of our child ren and is the direct cause of swine infection, Coconino county should not allow itself to be behind other mod ern communities in taking steps to safeguard the live stock industry and health of it's citizens.

USERS OF EXPLOSIVES MUST
 SECURE FEDERAL LICENSES

A Federal license is now required in the United States for the legal pos session of explosives, any person hav- ing explosives and not holding a li- cense therefor being subject to fine of $5,000 and Imprisonment for one year.
 Only citizens of the United States and friendly countries may obtain li- censes. The purchaser of dynamite must state definitely what the explos- i've is to be used for when obtaining his license, and will be held account able for it's use as stated and the re- turn of any that may be left.
 With the strict enforcement of this law the Federal authorities hope to prevent explosives falling into the hands of evilly disposed persons, and to put stop to all further dynamiting plots.

WAR RECEIPTS.
(By Isabel Gordon Curtis)

(By Isabel Gordon Curtis)
 The views of Isabel Gordon Curtis, who is we'll known in every American household through her long service in solving the cooking problems for the readers of Good Housekeeping, Col Hers, Delineator and Success Nigga zines, are in complete harmony with the Food Administration upon the all important question-BREAD.
 That Mrs. Curtis is firm believer in the use of Corn Pone is certain. While writing on the topic of "Bak- ing Powder Breads" she says:
 "Indian corn is a native of the new world and is one of its chief sources of national wealth. It is so commonly used as an article of food, both in an unripe state, as green corn, and as a dry grain, crushed or ground as hom- iny, or as corn meal, and cooked in various forms that it may almost be regarded as the national food of America. In addition to corn meal mush, the we'll known nasty pudding of our grandmothers, it forms the ba- sis of many of the appetizing modern breakfast foods. In New England it takes the form best known as the Rhode Island Johnny Cake. In the South it forms the celebrated Hoe Cake or Corn Pone. In all parts of the country corn meal bread, mullins, and batter cakes are cooked and serv- ed according to a great variety of re- cipes. The following has been se- lected as typical of the various corn meal breads in use in different parts of the United States as recorded by the foremost writers on cookery. This selection has been made with great care and is believed to be one of the most complete and satisfactory in ex- istence."
 Today we give her celebrated re- cipe for Corn Cakes. Others will fol-
