GALL TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA
TO GUARD THE WORLDS C0MM|SSARY

Women of America, our country il
at war against the worlds mighties
military power.
We entered it when all the nations
holding Germany at bay were throw
ing in their man power and money
power, spending. their millions to end
this war by winning it. And still
Germany was not defeated.
We entered it when, with their
farm folks in the trenches, the fields
of our allies were being plowed and
;esown by the women. But there were
not enough, though they worked from
dawn till dark.
Those crops have been pitifu1ly
small The usual outside sources of
supply have been cut off and our allies
must depend on us. The women will
work and the soldiers will fight to
the death, but against hunger they are
helpless.
Germany knows. She has said that
if she can ony starve England she
will win.
Hf our allies have to yield to Ger
many because of hunger, America
alone will have to shoulder the bur-
den of winning the world war
And so to save cur allies and their
liberty and our own, we have pledged
our youth, our wealth, our all.
But we are not prepared to throw
millions of soldiers into the field at
once. Our money can not buy bread i
and meat in Europe for our allies.
There is little there to buy.
We must give them food real
food, They need wheat, meat,
canned foods, fats. And though thou
sands of tons of it will be sunk by,
submarines, still we must ship, ship,
ship. until we have saved democracy /
with food.
But how can we do this and feed /
ourselves when we must send our al
lies 220,00O,0O0 bushels of wheat this
year instead of the usual SS,000,OO0
bushels, when we are already sending
them three times as much meat as we
have sent them before? Moreover
corn meal, of which we have more
than enough, can not readily be ship
ped to Europe now because it spoils
Women of America, even as the
women of France are guarding the
fields day and. night, your country
calls TO you to stand guard over the
worlds commissary. That commits
sary is the food supply of America.
There is enough in it if you will
guard it.

Party at Armbruster Home

Probably the most elaborate of all
the Halloween festivities was the par
ty which was held at the Armbruster
home Saturday evening. November 8.
The hostesses were the Misses Myra
and Florence Armbruster, Dorothy
Parsons, Victoria Wallace and Mar
garet Collins. The guests numbered
between so and so of their high school
friends.
The lovely home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Armbruster was profusely decorated
with evergreens and Halloween arts
The basement of the home was dimly
lighted with Japanese lanterns and
here one participated in many stunts
customary to Halloween, while the
upstairs was transformed into a spac-
ious dancing room.
Punch was served throughout the
evening by the Misses Mary William
son, Helen Hedden and Chris Arm
bruster.

Why should not tobacco have beer
taken from the boys in training as
well rs the liquor.
By the time they reach the battle
fields they would be far more eff
ficient, and the boys who were free
from its use might come home as
clean as they went, if spared to
come at all.
Perhaps you are one of many of
our prominent American citizens who
use tobacco If so / make no apol-
ogy, for you doubtless know that to-
bacco is a stimulant and poison rath-
er than food and if you use it you
are that much less competent to dis
charge the duties of your office than
you would be otherwise.
While would not be disloyal to my
government I believe the government
should be loyal to the mothers of
the nation who have brought up their
boys to be clean and pure.
When the United States stops send
ing the vile weed to our boys at the
front who have never used it, I will
deprive my boy of the wheat he seems
to need for his proper development.
The meatless and wasteless meals
promise to carry out to the finish.
The waste from our table goes to Bel
sian hares and we eat the hares.

Dear Sir:
Begging just enough of your valua-

not signed in full your food conserva-
ton card and the following gives my
reason for not doing so.
My only son is now IA, healthy and
strong but up to four years of age
his sole nourishment was milk. I
tried every way to encourage him to
eat other things but to no avail. He
finally begun to eat white bread in
his milk and gradually other foods
but never liked meal or graham. He
is troublesome boy to no one in
the school room or at home He new

cake or meat if he can have his bowl

luor or tobacco especially the vile
cigarette.
There are thousands of mothers in

heir boys, many of whom are in our
raining camps today and the govern
nent is sending and sanctioning 9TH
RS sending tobacco in various forms
o all the boys regardless of their
ormer habits. To my mind this is
wrong.

Your task in this war is to guard
food for the soldiers and home work
ers of our allies. They are fighting
for you!
You can release shiploads of wheat
for these fighters and workers by
using less wheat -four in your homes
and by using more corn meal, by
wasting not a crust or crumb of wheat
bread.

To feed the world while it fights it's

CUBA OFFERS AID
Well Trained Troops at Service

PORTS OPEN TO OUR SHIPS.

viii Act II Necessary az Halfway sta

tions to Panama Canal or Other
Points on Gulf.
New Orleans.-In addition to declar-
ing war on Germany Immediately fol-
lowing the lead OF the United States
government, Cuba will place $4,000
well trained troops-infantry, cavalry
pnd artillery-at the service of the
northern republic for the duration of
the war. President Mario G. Menocal
has issued an order TO this effect, and
Colonel Aurelio Hevias, Cuban minis
ter Of war, is apportioning these troops
and selecting the officers who will ac-
company them.
First news of this placing OF whole
army division of Cuban troops at the
orders of the United States was
brought to New Orleans by Eduardo
X. Mendez, Cuban sugar expert. who
has just returned from Havana.
Cuba entered the great war largely
In an effort to show it's sincere friend.

Mendez at his home. THE island is
the key to the gulf of Mexico and to

ports to Germany. More than this, all
the ports of Cuba now are open to the
United States as a war ally for indefi-
mite periods and for unlimited supplies
of all kinds, whereas had Cuba not ell.

gulf and to act also if necessary as a
halfway station to aid the northern re-
public In its transportation of troops
and munitions Of war to the Panama
canal or to other points on the gulf or
on the Caribbean sea. President Men
ocal has announced officially In Ha-
vana that the entire Cuban army OF
$4,000 men will be placed at the orders
Of the United States government and
will be supplied with officers who
speak English as well as Spanish, for
service throughout the war This quo
ia, constituting ali entire army divi-
sion, will be kept to full enlistment by
constant recruiting throughout the war,
and 25,0O0 more volunteers will be re-
cruited to take the place In the army of
those sent to the front or distributed
wherever the United States wishes to
use them.
Announcement also has been made
that American warships will aid the
Cuban navy in patrolling the waters
around the island and such parts of the
gulf as may be deemed necessary. The
i'll timed and badly advised revolution
Is at an end; General Gomez is a pris-

ment can be turned to the prosecution

To Keen Liquids,

Grape juice, ginger ale, fruit Juice or
my kind of liquid of like nature may
be kept for any period if laid upon its
side or placed bottom up. Thus if the
liquid covers the cork, the moisture
will keep the cork expanded and there
will be no room for the air to find its
way in and ruin it.
To remove stains from earthenware
dishes and plates caused by putting
them in the oven, soak in strong borax
and hot v0ter.
To ship a mirror without breaking
the glass, paste narrow strips Of paper
across the glass. This breaks
The vibration and prevents the damage
that often results.

purposes, -four the scale well and the

DRAPED SKIRTS.
The Peg Top Has Brought
In Tassels and Jackets.

Tue really, truly newest yet In sill
houette is that affected by the draped
skirt, worn with flowing sleeves, ball
tassel sash ends and wide spreading
hat.
How this type of skirt Is devised Is
Interesting. 1t looks like straight,
rather narrow skirt, cut extra long,
then just Topped up on each side to
shorten IL to the required length, CIV
ing pulled effect that somewhat re-
sembles the barrel, the peg top, or
whatever you care to call the side In
fiated appearance Of some OF the new
skirts.
Tassels form the finish for the drap-
Ing Of these skirts, and the effect Is
really pleasing, especially when the
fabric is one that drapes softly.
An interesting model Of this type re
Gently seen was a fine dress serge
decorated with twelve inch banding
OF hand embroidery, done In a con-
trasting color, the tassels being Of the
embroidery color.
Following IN the trend of the draped
skirt is the founce skirt, with close
fitting under or drop foundation. And
then the long, tunic skirt. with faring
pockets on each hip.
Then there Is the straight, gathered
skirt, fiaring at the hem; then a
straight line skirt, not more than two
yards and many times less than this,
with short, full tunic, either plated
or gathered.
Some straight skirts have a cute lit
tie apron tunic, plated and set across
the front of the skirt. Other straight
skirts have an apron tunic effect back
and front, the back apron being longer
than the front.
Next comes, quite as matter of
course, the perfectly slim, straight
skirt, close and trim and fashionably
short, fitting mate for the slim,
straight jacket with which 1t is de-
signed to be worn.

FOR BIRD LOVERS.
Hints About the Care of Your Canary
Each Oay.

Canary birds are n Joy when they
sing and such comfort for q home
maker when she Is alone, but they
surely make great deal Of muss.
Most women find that the cages really
should be cleaned every day and the
floor under which they hang brushed
at the same time. II several pieces Of
paper cut the shape of the bottom of
the cage are used the cage will only
have to be cleaned once week.
Each day lift the top piece Of paper
out, and the next piece will be spotless.
A good plan which bird lovers often
use Is to make bag for the cage.
This bag may serve a double pur,
pose IL wanted. Make IL long enough
to fit the entire cage, SO that 1t may
be tied all over at night to protect
the birdie from the glazing light and
cold. In the day this same cover may
be tied about the middle of the cage
II Is held In place by drawstring
This prevents the bird from throwing
the seeds on the floor. Marquisette
and dotted swiss are good materials
for this purpose.

# BACK HURTS USE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead
or bladder bothers you-Msat
forms uric acid

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
sSalts from any good drug store here,
e2ake tablespoonful in glass of water
'before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts lie made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and IL harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. IL also neutralizes the acids
in the urine 30 it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.
