PER|ODOF
WAR
What Brownsville has loaned and

An enormous amount Of mon na~
been given and loaned by the people Of
Brownsville since the entry of America
into the war, an amount which before the

Furthermore the above figures do moi
represent all that will be given for
Brownsville'> quota ON the War Savings
stamp drive is $i02.000 which will be
raised by the last of the year. This
means nearly one and three quarters mil
lions of dcllarS that Brownsville has
put up to help win the war.

LITTLE RED FISH.

Little Red Fish lived in basket IN a
corner of the Playground least, that
was the place he called his home, but some
times he was ON the floor behind the
basket, where he stayed for week ''ntll
the maid came in on cleaning day and
picked him pu and put him back IN the
basket.
There were blocks with letters on
them and blocks with men on them,
and il was to the block men that little
Red Fish told the wonders OF the deep
sea, where he should live instead OF III

There was a time when he was put IN
the water every morning when the
little mist ress had her bath and he Heated
around the tub with two little swans.
But those DAYS were past and gone, and
Little Red Fish and one little swan were
seldom noticed excepting when the basket
was turned over and the blocks were

TEST SAVES LIVES
OF TWO BABIES
Infants With High Fever Detected
at Defence Council
Welfare Station.

One of the many ways IN which the
Child Welfare Stations is helping to re-
ducc the high death rate in this State
among infants was demonstrated yester-
day afternoon. At station established
at the Independence Fire Co.'S head
quarters, Twelfth and Claymont streets,
two mothers came carrying two i'll small
children. They brought the babes To be
weighed and measured.
They said that the infants had been
fretful and CHAD been crying lot, but
had not detected any fever. When the
nurse IN charge of the station looked at
the babes, she Mt once noted that they
looked as though suffering from hgh
fever Her surmlsc was correct when the
babes were tested. as both had tent
perature of l02. One was suffering from
tonsihtis and both mothers were directed
TO hasten to the office OF physician ana
place the babes III his care.
This is an illustration of what the pa
triotic women of the Council OF Stata
Defence are dong IN this work. other
instances of where mothers fail To detect
illnesses in their children and which are
discovered at a Welfare Station by the
nurse are daily occurrences. suallv the
illness is not as serious rs IN the two
babes Yesterday and consequently nothlnE
is made of It But without the cXamlna-
ton other babes now i'll might suffer later
on if the aiment was not detected IN tune.

for our soldiers and allies
Here arc recipes for simple. low-priccd
dishes made from COrnstarch that you
Will find particularly good for summer
fare and YOU will like them because they
do not call for long hours of work IN hot
kitchen

more of milk and to each pint allow the
volks Of two eggs beaten light. three table
spoons of sugar. one tablespoon grated
chocolate or two tablespoons OF cocoa
moIstcned and mixed 10 a paste, ami

Deputy Sheriff Percy BOwden was
in the city yesterday on his way to the
road camp with two prisoners who
VIII serve six months time on the
road. The road force is in need of
recruits on account of the stand of
the Douglas purity squad who objects
to bootleggers being worked on the
road and allowed a good time. but
would rather that the ,tsx payers pay
for their board and keep them in idle
ness in the county jail, when the coun-
ty could get some benefit from them
and the state bear the expense Of
their upkeep. There are now eight
bootleggers under sentence in Tomb
stone that now come under this elias 3.

There are a number OF boys of the
age from fifteen to eighteen who have
been making a habit of cutting the
screens on the windows of the Y. w.

stealing pies and cakes. They may
think that this is a youthful prank.
Perhaps they do not realize that they
are committing a penitentiary Offense.
They are guilty of burglary. The min.
ute they cut the screen and enter the
place with the intent TO steal ANYTHING
they are guilty of burglary. The Of
ficers have been notified and they will
be watched. II caught they will be
procuted. Some of the older ones
