question naturally arises, What does
the consumer want the comb for as
it is of itself almost tasteless and in

greatly increased cost? But as that
is the way in which people have been
accustomed to eating honey and have
learned to associate the delicious fla

while they are gathering honey, is
economical to use even with but one

AUTOMOBILES.

Automobiles are luxurious

They are run by anything from

invented il wasn't considered
safe to be in one and now it isn't
safe to be out of one, because
they are forever chasing some

Join the aed Cross.

1t costs only 81 to join the REQ
Cross society. though many will
want to pay 50 in Ordcr TO re-
ceivc the Red Cross magazine.
|Other classes of memberships
cost s5 and $40 per annum. BY
payment of S25 or 800 one may
become a life or patron member.
No organization in the world
contributes so much to the relief
|of suffering humanity. Volumes
could be written about the work
OF the Red Cross in Europe. Now
that the war is being brought
home to Americans, vast
amount of work and huge expen-
ditures will be necessary to en-
able the Red Cross to do all il can
lido with its splendid organization
|if given p roper support.
Workers are needed as we'll as
paying members. Millions of re-
|lief kits .bandages, medicament S,
much warm clothing and sundry
PARTICLES for the soldiers and sail
ors must be prepared. Women
land girls can do worthy work in
this connection. There are plenty
1of able instructresses, but more
