High Soap Prices Arouse
Interest in Home Made Soap

Women all over the country are
saving money by making their own
soap. Try this:
First, set large can or jar in your
kitchen; throw into it all meat skin,
waste grease, bones and other kit
chen scrap that has any grease in
it or on it.
When the can or jar is full, render
it (by boiling) and you will obtain
enough clear grease to make big
batch of dandy soap, cheaper and
purer than any you can buy.
With Grease and Red Devil Lye
You will find home soap-making
so easy and economical that il will
be a genuine pleasure. On the
label of every can of Red Devil
I've are complete directions for
making soap by the cold process
or by boiling.
Anybody Can Make Soap
if they have Red Devil Lye and
grease. Furthermore, soap making
at home pays big because you buy
nothing but Red Devil Lye the
other ingredients are actually saved
out of the waste that you have
been throwing away. You will thank
us every time you use Red Devil
Home Made Soap.

GREAT BIRDS OF OTHER DAYS
Bones Discovered Prove That In the
Miocene Period They Were Truly
Of Enormous Size.

In SO far as birds are concerned,
some of the oldest fossils, In the mat
ter Of time (Miocene), which have
fallen into the hands of science, are
those representing the great, flight

South America. They belong to the
phororhacidae, r. w. Shufeldt writes
In the Scientific American.
Judging from such parts of their fos-
sill bones as have been found, they
were evidently great terrestrial birds
Of prey. Some of the species were
small, but this is made up for by the
others; and in the case Of one Of them

eight feet in height, with skull big

these birds or what led to their ex-

Skulls and some other bones of this
bird have been discovered.

CANDIES YOU SHOULD EAT.

The Food Administration says it is
possible to eat candy and satisfy your
sweet tooth, and still be a patriot il
you use care in selecting the kinds of
candy that contain minimum rather
than a maximum amount of sugar.
There are at least four groups of can.
dy that contain a minimum instead of
maximum amount of sugar and
which also contain other pure and
wholesome ingredients, which are
plentiful.
The first group includes chocolate
coated candies with nut and fruit CEN
tiers, especially the old-fashioned
chocolate creams with the bitter.
sweet coating, and uncoated candies
such as nougatines, Turkish pastes,
and similar varieties. There is an
abundance of chocolate; it is pure
and wholesome and has high food
value
The second group includes hard.
boiled candies such as lemon drops,
stick candy, fruit tablets, peanut bars,
peanut brittle, glace nuts and the
like. In this group may also be placed
molasses candies, such as taffies and
kisses.
Marshmallows and similar candy
comprises the third group. They may
be eaten plain, toasted, dipped in
chocolate, rolled in cocoanut and in
many other palatable forms, also pop

In the fourth group are included
gumdroLe, jellies, jelly beans and the
like, giving wide variety of candy
made from pure and wholesome ingre-
dents and containing a minimum

In eating candy in any of these four
groups the consuming public is doing

Training Little Children.

Children are SO open-hearted and
ready and respond SO sweetly and
quickly to faith and trust that we often
miss great happiness by not sharing
our hopes and joys more freely with
them.
If we keep the bond very close, our
home will become the great meeting
place of all children, and this love and
companionship between parents and
children will be like a powerful mag
net whose attraction the children can
not resist.
So, from these beginnings the home
tie will be so strengthened that we
need never fear that the allurements
Of the world can draw our children
from us, but can rest assured that they
will always return to the center of
deep repose."

WORKING OVERTIME

When a man works overtime 1t is
because of some extreme necessity and
usually not because he wants to. Near
ly everyone realizes that working long
hours constantly In time will bring a
physical breakdown. Therefore, every
one with good judgment strives to be
friend to his own body If for no other
reason than that he may DE able 20
continue to work and make living.
II you were suddenly to find some
means Of working "a hours day 1855
days year you would probably rush
to Washington to take out patent on
the system. Have you stopped to think,
however. that there Is q way of earn
ing money "a hours Of the day which
you may be negiecting? The one thing
which will work overtime for you year
In and year out without firing is
money placed at interest. Money ''in
boxes and soxes." boarded or hidden
away, Is imprisoned and cannot work.
Moreover. 1t Is In danger Of being lost,
stolen or destroyed by accident.
There are just two ways Of putting
such money to work for your benefit.
One Is to deposit 1t in q safe bank,
where 1t will earn interest for you and
be subject to your order. The other
is to invest 1t safely, where 1t will
also earn interest for you.
Just now the most desirable invest
ment any one can make is In Liberty
Loan bonds. You can buy them In any
amounts from $50 up. They will earn
you Az per cent interest yearly. They
always have a ready market and the
security behind them Is the best in the
world. You have never doubted the
safety Of United States currency,
which is simply the promise to pay Of
the government. United States gov
eminent Liberty loan bonds are the
promise to pay Of the entire country,
backed by all the wealth Of all the
states and territories, with the addi-
tonal feature that they are always
working overtime for you.

who will never tire, who will work for
you day and night without pay, and
who will turn over his wages to you

IN THIRD LIBERTY iBDND

Guardians and trustees having
trust funds in their possession, or I'M
der their control, the property of their
respective wards or cestui que trusts,
are informed that no better invest
ment Of trust funds can be made than
by the purchasing of Liberty bonds
which pay An per cent interest.
Guardians and trustees should not
allow trust funds to remain in their
hands, or under their control, unin-
vested. Funds uninvested should be

MAKE BULLETS OF PENNIES
William Allen White Says Loan Gives
me-stayers Their Work. -

BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE,
Editor Of EmporIa (kan.) Gazette.1
Back of the German lines every
ounce Of food is conserved and dis
tributed with fairly equitable preci-
sion; every yard OF cloth Is numbered
and entered into the war strength Of
the empire. Every pennyweight Of
German coal Is handled with scientific
care, and the one end and aim Of all
this autocratic control Of food and
clothing and heat Is the winning Of
the war. There is no other purpose In
the German mind. Every German mark
Is. German soldier; every grain Of
gold is doing its full share to work
out that indomitable purpose.
Here In America we must realize
that the war will not be won on any
front, but In our own hearts. This is
a clash Of civilizations. We must de-
velop in our hearts a democratic pur-
pose as strong and as carefully direct
ed as this autocratic purpose Of Ger
many.
We, too, must make soldiers Of our
, cornstalks, defenders Of our wool, cot
ton and silk. make every pound Of coal
an American pound, and we must make
bullets Of our pennies. II we fail to
develop this democratic purpose in the
eye-to-eye, knee-to-knee, hand-to-hand
struggle on the front, then our civili-
zation will do down. To fail to sup
food, clothing and coal will weaken
them for the great conflict at the great
moment, and that weakening will
