w. c. T. U.

The w. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. H. A. Sykes Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
 Let us net grow negligent !n cur re- ligious life on account of the absorb ing interest of the war. but rather let the war be means to spur us on to higher endeavor in helping to make the way safe for those who are away from home restraints and pleasures.
 Which shall we have, several mil lions of men fed or several millions of men drunk? There is the whole oues- tlon of conserving the food supply. Shall we put five hundred millions of grain into beer or bread? Answer this question by being present at the meeting Thursday and bring your dues. No other organization is doing more war relief work than is the w. (. T. U., and it has been at it all of its blessed life. It therefore. merits the attention and financial backing of everybody who believes in a clean manhood.
 We understand that the tobacco company has sold hundreds of thous- ands of cigarettes to our soldiers at Fort Logan H. Roots. When our bows cook their brain and weaken their nerves with nicotine, we fear for the safety of our nation. It is a we'll known fact that tobacco is the worst nerve poison known, and through this nervousness many an archer has lost his skill as a good marksman.

AUTOMOBILE PARTY HAD
 MARROW ESCAPE LAST NIGHT

A party composed of l.. c. Tender son and wife, Sam o. Logan and wife and two children, while out driving last night in MT. Henderson's Saxon Six, had very narrow escape from being seriously injured, when the car plunged into an opening caused by the tearing away of a bridge, which was left in this condition by the road workmen, or as some say the road machine in running over it crushed it in and it had not been rebuilt. The real reason for the bridge being left in this condition on a public road at night with any warning signal, has not been learned, but the fact that it was the means of hurting a number of people, is proof that carelessness is the cause of another accident.
 Dr. c. A. Buchanan was driving along the same road last night in his Chevrolet and also had a narrow es- cape, but the fact that he was driving at fast rate of speed and the light car carried itself over the opening by narrow margin, is all that saved a repetition of the above accident. The bridge is about three miles west of Prescott and on one of the most pub lie roads in the county.

We must cultivate the habit of

many calls for help II the war lasts
any length Of time, and We can render
the best kind Of service by giving, is
what does our souls good. Buying
Liberty Bond is commendable thing
to do but after all, that isn't so much,
for you are. investing your money in
the very best securities in the world
and at good fair rate Of interest.
Giving to the Red Cross, coughing up
good money, in good cause, where
there is no provision for payment, is
the thing that counts and is the best
test of mans Patriotism. We must
give, and give, and give, and do it

we get from a "safe investment" and
in reality, much greater rate of in

SAVE THE WASTE AND
HELP WIN THE WAR

Save the Wheat-One wheatless
meal day. Use corn, oatmeal, rye
or barley bread and non.wheat break.
fast foods. Order bread twenty-four
hours in advance so your baker will
not bake beyond his needs. Cut the
loaf on the table and only as required.
Use stale bread for cooking, toast,
etc. Eat less cake and pastry.
Our wheat harvest is far below nor
NAL. If each person weekly saves one
pound of wheat -four that means 150,-
100000 more bushels of wheat for the
allies to mix in their bread. This
will help them to save democracy.
{, Save. the. Meat Beef, mutton or
pork not mores sthaneonces daily. .assUse
freely Of vegetables and fish. At the
meat meal serve smaller portions, and
stews instead Of steaks. Make made
dishes of all left-overs. Do, this and
there will be meat enough for every
one at a reasonable price. ......s.
We are today killing the dairy cows
and female calves as the result of
high prices. Therefore, eat less and
eat no young meat If we save an
ounce of meat each day per person,
wes:will have an additional supply
equal to 100000 cattle.
Save the Milk-The children must
have milk. Use every drop. Use
butter milk and sour milk for cooking
and making cottage cheese. Use less
cream. 4, =, !. ~ .,$s-..,.,
h Save the Fats-We are the worlds
greatest fat wasters.. Fat is food.
Butter is essential for the growth and
health Of children. Use butter on
the table as usual but not in cooking.
Other fats are as good. Reduce use
Of fried foods. Soap contains fats.
Do not waste it! Make your own wash
ing soap at home out Of the saved
fats s<Ss ssj. 4 I. $$ al. .E2 & ,s t%
Use one-third ounce less per day
Of animal fat and 375, 900 tons will be
saved yearly. =;zS u =. 4 .s' +. !. /
s Save the Sugar Sugar is scarce.
We use today three times as much
per person as our Allies So there
may be- enough for all, at reasonable
price, use less candy and sweet drinks.
Do not stint sugar &$i in putting up
fruits and jams y They will save butter.
