To save the lives and health of our
men from German poison gas a GER
tain form of carbon is necessary.
The best form of carbon for this
purpose is made from cocoanut shells,
of which at present there is an acute
shortage. The most satisfactory sub.
stitutes for the cocoanut are:
a-Peach stones
b-Apricot pits
.c-Prune Pits
drum pits
e-Olive pits.
f-Date seeds
g-Cherry pits
h-Brazil nut shells.
iE-Shells of hickory nuts, wa1nuts
andstutternuts.
It issof vital Importance that a Wig,
orous campaign for the collection OF
these fruit pits and nut shells be set in
motion at once. Various other organ.
lzations have been asked. to co-operat,
in this task, but the RedCross has bee,
particularly requested to use It's or
ganization for thescollection Of al
many Of these articles as possible; t.
provide collection Centers" in which
they may be accumulated; and to ar
range for shipments thence to govern
ment depots.
The collection Centers in this Divis
ion will be as follows, and you will
ship to the Center which can be reach
ed with the least delay:

BOMB PARLOR FOR
AMERICANS IN PARIS

"A Series Of unearthly walls from
the siren that announces an air raid
and we are II of our beds and down
in the bomb parlor in double quick
time," writes a woman who lives at;
the Hotel P%etrograd in Paris. MANY
times l have made the flight twice in
q night. But you get used to it and
drop off to sleep again as soOn as you
get the chance.
1.-The bomb parlor' is n of the
unique features of the P%etrograd. 1t
is not its official title-a few of us
have named it that. 1t is a good sized
room at the bottom of the house and
has no outside walls. Once there, We
feel as safe from harm as we eve did
in our beds. We spend the time be-
tween the 'alerte' that turns us out Of
bed and the all clear signal that tells
us to 60 back, with games, reading and
visiting. l have seen Red Cross nurses
on the floor fast asleep in spite of the
awful din of the bombs and guns.
"More kinds Of uniforms in all
stages Of freshness and fading come
into the PetrOgrad, which is the Amer
lean Y. w. c. A. hostess house of
Paris, than any other place in France.
| Soldiers. and sailors meet their women
friends there; there are the Red Cross
nurses, the women Of the Signal Corps,
American ome stenographers, vari-
GUS medical orders, the Y. w. c. A.
naturally. and all the rest. 1t is a new
er ending, strangely shifting throng.
Besides being unique for it's bomb
parlor,' the hotel serves butter for
breakfast. and has bathing facilities
for its resident guests at all hours.
These are enough to give lasting fame
to any house in France at this time.
Last winter it was known as the
house with warm rooms
The Hotel Petrograd of Paris is one
of the three Y. w. c. A. hostess houses
in France. The others are at Bourges
and Tours. The social rooms Of all
are open to any woman or girl at any
time of day or evening to meet her
men or women friends rest, enjoy so
cial intercourse, read or write.

DES F1CADIE NE111ODN
As IN example of dispeabe newspaper reporting, w submit the account
in Yesterday mornings CourirNews of the opening speech by 5. j. Doyle at
Darlington.
The columns of a newspaper should be devoted to facts, not editorial opn-
ions. Yet here is the way Mr.. Townleys ick-spttle was permitted to report
a speech by the Democratic candidate for Governor of our state:
"oe forgot ne argument about which he will probably hear when the
speech has been read by the directors of the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
mercea and the Twin City bankers
"oe has % speeches carded for next week.
"ddnr seem exactly familiar with some of the expressions in his ypeWrt-
ten COPY, but his speech has been pretty we'll explained to him and he seems
to have read it over carefully"
That was presented, lot as an editorial, but as a true and unbiased account
of what happened at Darlington.
Dignifed way to refer to a candidate for governor, isn't it? Pleasant
way to refer tx any reputable citizen, in or ut of politics, isn't it?
The n ofense of "Joe," who might at least be accorded the respect due
every ia not a criminal and be called Mr.. Doyle, is that he dared to. rn for
office IS an opponent of MI: Townleys crew. Therefore he Immediately be-
comes a fl, subject for ridicule by any of the pempattic newspaper scribblers
who happen to hang their coats in Mr. Towneys office for a week n two
while they hunt for a respectable job.

THE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY,

In the United States House of Representatives there are sxtyone COM
mtees. The Craftsmanship of the committee is the alEimportant position
OF power. Out of the sixty-one chairmanships, North Carolina has six, Ten
nesseesix, Ohio five, Kentucky four, Missouri four, New York four, Oklahoma
four, Louisiana three, Texas three, Virginia three, Alabama, Colorado, Flor
ida, Illinois Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Wash
ington n each. The states that have n chairmanships in the House are
Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mas
sachusets, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. While 70 N would assume that each state should
have a member of it's delegation at the head of a committee, it does seem a
little out Of proportion that Tennessee and North Carolina should have six
committee chairnnanships each while som Of the most populous states of the
North have none.
Towney and his leaders will advise the members of the League not to read
any papers but his kept press like the Nonpartisan Leader, the Courier News,
and a few other papers which he has his thumb I, claiming that you will get
all the news, and the truth in these papers. But you fellows, who follow
Towneys instructions, did you see anything in the Leader about the Federal
Building in Chicago being blown up by l. w. WIS? Or did you see anything
about Debs being convicted and given ten years in prison? Yes, and did you

System Important Habit

One of the most important habits to form is that of system. It is a habit natural to some women, but to most 1t Is an acquired one. It Is generally S cultivated virtue. achieved through dOgged persistence and in spite of many a falling from grace. Some ot the most systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing. It is best to begin to be systematic when one is young. but there Is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedl, able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of want of system and save oneself needless iuconven. 1ences and increase ones usefulness tO other people.--Excic ge.

Careless Use of
 Soap Spells the Halr

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it,
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary n1ulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless). ard is better than the most expensive soap or any. thing else you can use.
 One CT two teaspooafuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub if in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and excessive Gil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You car get nulsiheo cocoanut oil at any pharmacy. ifs very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

Why Flour Explodes.

Records of the last ten :, ears show that about twenty explosions have oc. cured in cereal, four and feed mills, with the loss of S2,OOO,OOO worth of property. as well as the killing or in turing of over two hundred employees, investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved conclusively what are the difficulties to be avoided. In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro duced in the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substance, coming into contact with the plates of the ma- chine may produce enough sparks 90 ignite the dust within the machine Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions suggested is the use of naked James.

MADE-IN N.GERMANY LIES
 CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with Nade-in-Germany lies calculated to binder Canadian food conservation ac- cording 10 an official statement re- ceived from the Canadian food con- troller by the United States food ad- ministration.
 The stories bothering Canada are of the same general character as those the United States food administra. tor recently denounced in this coun. try, such as the ridiculous salt and bluefng famine fakes and the report that the government would seize housewives stocks of home canned goods.
 The Canadian food controller esti. mates that when the people listen to and pass on such stories, each one has the power of destruction that lies in a battalion of soldiers.
 Stories without even a yestige of foundation have been scattered broad cast" said the Canadian statement. "Nor have they come to life casually. They have started simultaneously in different parts of the country and in each instance have been calculated to arouse public indignation.
 "They are insidious, subtle, persist. ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public trust, the great essential in the work of food control
 Tt lies with every individual to for. o;e tc vN$t tn passing on the vagrant and harmful story, and thus the more effectively to cooperate in work which is going to mean more than the loajority of people yet realize"

CORN WILL WIN DEMoCRACr'SWAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to
 Market.
MAINsTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
 cred Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed ing 5000, ,OOO, GOO bushels, will save the worlds food situation, officials of the United States food administration be- lieve.
 Corn is the nations best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in a state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when com bined with an added portion of oil or fat, will sustain life indefinitely. h. dian warriors in colonial days lived on parcbed corn alone for many days at time, and at Valley Forge parched corn was at times the sole ration of the Continental soldiers.
 Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the war the corn crop moved more slowly to market this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal is reaching the milIers and consumers. In the meantime the nations surplus wheat has been sent to Europe
 Today there are approximately 90 bushels Of corn for every American. This quantity is greater by five bush. els than in former years.
 Corn has become the nations main- stay in the crisis of war.
 Just as this cereal saved the first American colonists from famine on many occasions, just as it served as staple food during the War of the Rev olution and during the Civil War, King Corn has again come to the front in the nations battle with autocracy.
 Corn meal is finding greatly increas- ed use in the making of ordinary white bread. Hundreds of housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent. corn meal with wheat four to make leavened bread. This kind of mixture is worked and baked in the same recipes and with the same methods that apply to straight wheat bread
 Corn bread-using corn meal entire ly-is gaining a greater popularity than ever before. Housewives are coming to realize that every pound of wheat saved in America means a pound of wheat released for shipment to the nations with which America is associ. ated in the war.
 There are a score of corn products that today possess unusual importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet eninp corn cakes and hucEWheat cake and for use in the kitchen instead of granulated sugar is one of the leading products made from corn.
 Corn oil, excellent for frying and for every other purpose filled by salad oils, is appearing on the market in large quantities. It comes from the germ of the corn.

Preserving FloWeg1,

A method of preserving the natu. ral colors of flowers consists in dust. Ing saltcyllc acid on the plants as they lie in the press and removing 1t with a brush when the flowers are quite dry. Red colors in particular are well preserved by this agent. Another meth. cd of applying the same preservative Is to use a solution of one part of salicylic in fourteen of alcohol by means of blotting-paper or cotton. wool soaked in 1t and placed above and below thesflowers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly as good results.

CIVILIAN RELIEF
 WORK OF RED CROSS

Giving information to families of soldiers and sailors is just as much a part of Home Service as giving them aid when sick or in want. The rapid transportation of our soldier boys and sailors to France has brought up world of questions on the part of their relatives that Home Service Sections are equipped and prepared to answer How to address soldiers and sailors; how to get definite and accurate information about the man now in France who will soon be in the trenches. as relatives will want to know whehetr or not they are sick, wounded, captured Or missing; how to get information about men who are sick in the hospitals of our different cantonments: of pay when compulsory and when volutary; and how obtained; ; how to secure government allowances or government compensation when the man is injured; what the government will do to equip a soldier or sailor for new occupations when war injury des- troys their former occupation, and many other questions that perpleX and worry these families who are very anxious about their loved ones.
 There is so much false German pre- home service sections can do much to aid the war situation in giving out correct and authentic information.
