LIMIT COMBINATION SALES.

The United States Food Admin
iStration announces that all COM
bination sales of food conlmod-
titles are forbidden. Sale of one
or more food commodities upon
condition that purchaser shall
buy one or more other food COM
modities from the seller is re-
garded as Il combination sale
within the meaning Of this ruling.
Combination sales frequently
result in the sale of more food
stuffS than a particular purchas-
er would ordinarily buy and are
therefore determined to be a
wastcful practice within the
meaning of section four of the
Food Administration Act of Aug
usl 10, 1917.
An exception is allowed pend
ing further notice. rs Il wheat
conservation measure the dealer
may sell sugar i'm combination
with cornmeal at the rate of one
pound of sugar With two pounds
of cornmcal No other combina-
zion Will be permitted nor will any
other ratio than that here stated
be allowed.
The dealer shall not sell either
sugar or cornmcal at Il price
yielding him profit greater than
he has normally enjoNcd upon the
particular commodity.
The dealer is not REQUIRED to
make combination sales of sugar
and cornmeal, but may do so in
his discretion. The Food Ad-
ministraiion announces this de

EVERY ONE EXPECTED
TO JOIN RED CROSS

Des Moines, Nov. 22.-Every
man, woman. and child in Iowa
might as we'll make up his or her
mind to. join the Red Cross during
the Christmas drive which will be.
made from December ~ to Christ
mas eve. Annual memberships,
costing ST per year, will be asked
of the adults. The children will
be asked to join the Junior Red
Cross, and as members they can
give the service, if they wish, in
stead of money or dues. If the
young people prefer TO pay dues,
their membership costs them 25
cents annually.
\. f. Kepford, director of the
Red Cross work in Iowa, believes
il will be possible Ito enroll i,O00,-
900 adult members in Iowa dur
ing the Christmas drive. Every
county will be thoroughly organ
lied. Division committeeman are
now pcrfecting their organiza-
lions.
Glergymen will be requested to
preach Red Cross Christmas ser
mons on December 80. A plan is
being worked out to have enroll
ment booths at railroad stations,
public offices, banks, department
stores, thcaters and other public
places which will be open all dur
ing the campaign. The drive is to
be nation wide with view to Sc
curing 100000 members all
told.
''As this is the country's first
Christmas in the world war, it is
felt that the people will be think
ing of service rather than festiv-
tiles and that minds generally will
be turned to the battlefields of
Europe and especially to our own
soldiers and Sailors" declares the
Red Cross bulletin in announcing
the big drive. r.
1T is believed therefore that the
country will be in frame OF
mind at Christmas time to give
expression to all its anxiety and
hope by showing and renewing
evidences of its support of the
Rcd Gross"
One of the features OF the cam
lpaign will be the use of Red
Cross service flags to be posted
| in the windows of homes. The
flags are of transparent paper
and bear the Red Cross emblem.
The display of the Red Cross
service flag in a window of a
home will mean that a person in
that home is a member of the Red
Gross.
