that you should never feel flattered
when you attract attention on the
street. A girl who is refined and con-
cerned only with her own affairs does
not attract the obvious notice OF men
on the street. You may dress too strik-
ingly or look at the boys and men
with too much interest. Be careful
about this.
Perhaps it is merely your age and
when YOU are older you will be more
attractive to boys. At any rate don t
worry about it Forget the boys for
a while and enjoy your girl friends.

BACON AND BULLETS
Are you a soldier clad in khaki?

Are you q SOldler Clau IN KHAKI |:
If you answer no, then you are not
worth your bacon. This is not meant
to disparage you. but it does mean
that our soldiers must have bacon
Fats are quite as important In fight
inig this war as guns or ammunition,
and bacon Is one OF the chief sources
OF fat.
Fats supply energy to the body. and
pork fat is more used in the army
than any other. because 1t Is more
readily shipped and it is the meat
best liked by the men working at hard
manual labor
Without fats. people weaken and
waste away. The armies must have
fats TO keep up the fight
But the American people as ma

adequate TO sustain health and vigor,

SP RING TIME

SPRING TIME
The month Of March is with us.
The sun shines warm once more,
The snow and ice have melted,
For winter is almost DER.
The winds may yet be blustrv.
But frost and chill cannot last.
For we sense with quickene ed pulses.
That Spring is coming, fast,
The cold. drear. days are behind US.
Sunshine and life are ahead,
Now the brown earth and branches
Soon the bright Verdure, instead.
In fancy, We see the wild flowers.
SO happy and eager TO grow,
They thrive by the humblest vavside,
And bloom for the high and low
This is not idle dreaming,
Soon. 1t must all come true.
For a Master controls the seasons.
And nature. His bidding will do
Most Of our lives have their Winters.
Times when the sky grows gray.
And the tempest that beats about us.
Darkens our every way.
But. when the storms are over,
And the shadows have cleared away,
Our Spirit. which CROPPED in darkness.
Comes forth TO the sun-lit day.

A CREDIT TO CITY
HI. j. SCHMIDT'S BAKERY BUILD
ING ONE TO BE PROUD Or
HAS SPLENDID EQUIPMENT.

The Herald man had the pleasure
Of calling at Harvey Schmidt's open
ing Friday and receiving a red car
nation. He also was shown through
this model building and was much
impressed with what he saw.
The structure is two stories high
and 120 feet long by 1921 wide. 1t is
of tile construction with concrete and
steel reinforcement throughout. The
building is practically f1reproOf. The
main floor contains four rooms com
mencing with the retail or display
room in front. Back of this is the
shipping room. Next comes the bak-
cry and in the rear is a room for fir
ing and general purposes.
The oven itself is worth looking at
1t weighs only one hundred tons and
contains just 10000 bricks! It takes
month to heat up but will hold heat
for an equal period without fire. Mr.
Schmidt says that a mild fire will
keep it hot enough for all baking pur-
poses. The capacity is only 1900
loaves of bread daily. Some oven.
Upstairs are living and Office rooms
with a swell back porch where Harv-
ey can cool off after a hard days

The building and equipment will hit
$4,000. 1t is easily the best thing

certain as the weeks pass and the to-
tai may go to approximately $22,500,-
5000.

$4,000; Michigan, $5,OOO,OOO; Wiscon-
