OF the bonds. Booths have been opened
at the Cohen Co and at Miller
C Rhoads and these women will be
there to solicit subscriptions to the
bonds. Mrs. William Rufin Cox has
this end of the campaign in charge.
and in opening the campaign Mrs. Cox
delivered very effective speech,
which. in part. follows:
Even the names Of Liberty bond
and Liberty loan are inspirations.
What would we not all give to Sc
cure for the world liberty and peace.
The opportunity now offers-it is fatal
not to embrace 1t. Every Liberty bond
sold is voice against cruelty and op-
preston. Every Liberty bond sold is
a blow to Germany
The Liberty loan is an appeal to
every patriot. and in Richmond we
have only patriots. 1t appeals TO the
waEe-earner of every description. as
we'll as to the millionaire Remember
Belgium and France. ] plead with
the clerk. the teacher, the merchant.
the society woman. the laborer-I plead
with all who believe in the gospel OF
love and duty to purchase a bond, and
so hasten the end OF this ruthless and
savage war"
The purpose of the central committee
is to interest every one in the campaign.
The government must have the money.
and it must he forthcoming. Til. time
for action has arrived. We must sub
scribe to these bonds or lose the war
No patriotic American would choose
the latter course. then do your duty
and buy Liberty bond" This is an
other one Of the hot shots sent out by
the committee.

Daily Chats With
the Housewife

/ Flour should not be stored in ,the
pantry or kitchen except in small
quantities since the temperature is
certain TO be uneven and the flour is
likely to be contaminated by odors.
If practicable every household
should possess a small room for
storage of non-odorous commodities,
Such room is best located on the
rorth side Of the building. 1t should

temperature should be maintained.
Where such u room is not available
a closet may fit the requirements
Well. The bins or containers should
be kept clean. and when an old stock
of flour is exhausted. the container
should be carefully cleaned before a
new stock is placed.
Naturally the flour must be guarded
from vermin. Flour should be ex-
amined occasionally to see that de-
composition has not begun. Conserv-
ed in this manner. the sack of flour
in the household and the larger stores
OF the retailer can be utilized prac-
tically to the exclusion of any waste
through spoilage.

BUY FLOUR IN
SMALL QUANTITIES
Housewives Warned That Attempt to
Hoard and Store Often is
False Economy


Hoard and Store Often is
False Economy.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-Buy
flour in small quantities and protect
it carefully from spoilage, is the key
note of a suggestion from the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Sound flour milled from standard
wheat exhibits very little tendency to
decompose when stored in a proper
manner. Nevertheless, there is con-
siderable loss of flour through spoil
age as a result of improper storage,
particularly during the summer
months. Flour dealers naturally
have to carry in storage an amount of
flour proportionate to the current
needs of their trade. Housekeepers
on the farm and in the city should
purchase flour in accordance with
their needs only. 1t is false economy
for the housekeeper to purchase
larger amounts Of flour than can be
used within a reasonable length of
time. This may be a barrel for a
large family: more often il viii be
the 50-pound sack Any storage OF
flour in excess of the consumers 5
reeds constitutes boarding which,
under present circumstances, is an
unethical and reprehensible practice,
of no profit to the individual who
practices it, but injurious to the best
interests of the people.
| Since it is the duty of everyone in
, the present situation particularly to
avoid all waste, it is incumbent upon
each one so to store the normal stock
o. flour as to eliminate all waste
whatsoever. The precautions that are
required have been well worked out
/ in practice and are stated as follows
by specialists in the Department Of
Agriculture:
There are three cardinal principles
, OF flour storage Flour should not be
stored in the cellar. since the cellar is
rarely free from dampness, even
though special flour bins have been
! built in. 1t is common to find odors
! in a cellar and flour absorbs odors
and is contaminated by them. The
cellar is cool. but is usually too
damp. Flour should not he stored in
/ the attic OF the usual type. The tenn
perature is too high in summer. there
4 is no circulation of air, and the flour
/ is likely to acquire musty odor
