The allied troops on the SCISSOR
Reims salient continue to gain, both
lon the western side Of the battle front
land on the south along the Marne and
toward keims, notwithst landing the
increasing resistance Of the Germans
and the bad weather.
While the latest gains recorded are
not as great, on the whole, as those
of previous days, they nevertheless
have added positions OF strategic
value to the allied line for the further
prosecution of the efforts to clear the
territory Of the enemy. More prison
ers, guns and war, stores have fallen
into the hands of the Americans, Brit.
ish, and French troops. 3ssS
The French to the northwest, mid.
way between Scissors and Amiens.
have delivered a blow against the
German line which has been prOduc-
tive OF excellent results.
On the northern bank Of the Marine
to the east OF Chateau Thierry the
town Of Jaulgonne, from which the
Americans retreated during the Ger
man offensive, has been recaptured
and left in the rear by the advancing
troops east Of Jaulgonne, The French
likewise advanced their line on the
north bank of the Marine and chung
to their newly won positions. "
Likewise, southwest of Reims, at.
which place the British are fighting
with the French, strong enemy posi-
lions have been captured and the al
lied line advanced nearly mile. The
reinforced German front here Stub
bornly contested the advance, but
the British and French gained the adj
vantage and in addition to INJECTING
heavy casualties took prisoners and
five guns. The British alone captured
800 Germans. * III, n Z sS

Word has been received by Rev. J.
L. Boyd from E. NJ. Evans, superin-
tendent OF camp work at Camp Dodge,
saying that he has been appointed to
accompany our men to Camp Gordon
on Friday. Mr. Evans is one OF the
best camp workers in the state and
enjoys great popularity among the boys
because of his enthusiastic interest
in their welfare. The fact that he
has been chosen to accompany them
to camp will be welcome news to the
relatives Of the boys as well as to the
boys themselves.

The Palmer Press, in speaking of the
exercises, paid Mr.. Kuehnle the fol-

Make Fireless Cooker.

A tightly built box, an old trunk, a
galvanized-iron ash can, candy
bucket, tin lard can, lard tub, and
a butter firkin are some of the con-
tainers that have been used successful
~ in the construction of fireless cook
ers.
The inside container or nest which
holds the vessel Of hot food may be
a bucket of agate, galvanized-iron or
tin. This nest must be deep enough to
hold the radiator and the vessel Of
food but not large enough to leave
| much space, as the air space will cool
the food. The inside container must
have tight-f1tting cover, and straight
sides are desirable.
The packing or insulation must be
some material which is poor con-
ductor Of heat. The following ma
terials may be used and they should
be dry: Lint cotton, cotton-seed hulls,
wool, shredded newspaper, Spanish
moss, ground cork, hay, straw, and
excelsior.
| Sheet asbestos one-eighth inch thick
and heavy cardboard have proved to
be the best lining for the outer con-
tainer and the wrapping for the nest.
Heavy wrapping paper or several
sheets Of newspaper may be used for
lining the outer container, but the nest
] should be wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard to prevent the hot
stone scorching or burning the packing.
1t is well to have the outside con-
tainer large enough to permit four
inches of packing below and around
the sides Of the nest. If a cooker is
being made with two nests, six inches
of packing should be allowed between
the nests. Pack into the bottom of the
| lined outer container four inches of
the packing. Place the nest or inside
container wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard and hold steady while
the packing is put around tightly
and firmly until it reaches the top OF
the nest.
Make collar, as shown in illustra-
1 ton, Of cardboard, sheet asbestos, OF
wood to cover the exposed surface OF
the insulating material. This collar
should fit tightly.
Make cushion which when filled
with the packing will be at least four
inches thick and will fill completely
the space between the top Of the nest
and the lid of the outside container
1t should fit against the top tightly
enough to cause pressure when the lid
is closed.
The outside Of the fireless cooker
can be made more attractive by stain
ing or painting it. The lid may be
held in place by screen-door hooks and
eyes. The cooker may be placed on
casters so that it can be easily moved

F|RELESS COOKER
IS EASILY MADE
Used With Kerosene Stove as
Starter Kitchen Is Made
More HabitabIe.
TINE and FUEL ARE SAVED
Device Is Warm Weather Comfort In
Any Household-Food May Be
Left Cooking Without Any
Worry as to the Results.

The fireless cooker Is warm wealth.
er comfort in most any kitchen. Used
in conjunction with kerosene stove,
it means not only economy in fuel but
it makes the kitchen a more habit
able place when the warm days come.
Fireless cookers are now being made
and used in hundreds of homes in
town and country. What is more pleas
ing to the housekeeper than to put
her dinner in the fireless cooker before
she goes to town or market and to find
1t ready for serving when she returns?
Advantages Of Cooker.
The fireless cooker offers several
advantages. The first is economy Of
time, as the housekeeper may leave
the food cooking without worrying
about the result while she is engaged
In other household duties or while she
is away from home. Some foods are
improved by long cooking at relatively
low temperature. The texture and
favor of tougher cuts of meats, old,
tough fowl and ham are improved by
slow cooking. Cereals and dried le-
gumes and dried fruits are more pala-
table and wholesome when cooked for
long time. Soups and stews are
delicious when cooked in the cooker.
Baking, however, cannot be done very
conveniently and satisfactorily in the
ordinary homemade fireless cooker.
Economy Of Fuel.
In some sections Of the country
economy Of fuel must be an important
consideration. The food for the cooker
may be started on wood or coal
range when the morning meal is being
prepared. The food to be cooked is
first heated to boiling point on the
stove in the cooking vessel and then
this vessel, covered with tight lid,
is quickly placed in the cooker where
the cooking continues. The cooker is
SO constructed that the heat does not
escape. For long cooking 1t is neces-
sary to place in the cooker under the
cooking vessel hot radiator A soap
stone is the best radiator and can be
purchased at most hardware stores at
80 cents. A stove lid. brick, or disk
made of concrete, heated and placed in
the cooker, may serve as the radiator

When Cooking by Fireless.

Don't let the food or disk cool be-
fore you put them in the f1reless. The
food will not cook unless there is
enough heat shut up with it. Reheat
the food that requires long cooking,
II 1t cools before it is finished. Re
heat the food before serving, If neces-
sary. A small quantity Of food cools
quickly, so either use the disks or put

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. Castor.
of this place, writes: II am q user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact,
II was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when !
was a child. When any Of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, VS.
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
We would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for II certainly has saved us lots Of
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
Draught when not SO well saves q
lot OF days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years In the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys is proof of its merit.
II your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Blaek-Draught has been
found valuable remedy for these
troubles. II is purely vegetable. and

POTATOES FOR WHEAT

America has fallen behind in its
shipment of food to Europe. We
must make up our obligations now
by sending more cereals, especially
wheat. Eating potatoes is one way
to increase the supply of wheat.
We have potatOes-millions of
bushels are available now; they will
not be as good three months from
now. To conserve both wheat and
potatoes EAT POTATOES NOW
and get such an enthusiasm for
potatoes that next years produc-
tion will beat this years. Germany
gets 200 bushels of potatoes to the
acre, the United States less than
100 bushels. Germany raises five
times as many potatoes as the Unit
ed States in less than one tenth our
AGRA. We can and will do as well.
But that's for the future. For
now, eat potatoes; save wheat-and
redeem our obligations to the allies.

ADVERTISING SOON
PAYS FOR ITSELF

AT recent dinner of the Ad-
vertising Club of New York City
John Lee Mahin, director of the
Federal Advertising Agency, in the
course of a post prandial talk on
advertising campaigns can accom-
plish three separate results, each
one worth the cost.
He went ON to say that advertis-
ing could be either an investment,
a direct producer of sales or could
develop increased service to the con
sumner in the article advertised and
often could, and did, embody all
three of these features.
AS an investment for the adver-
tiser and as furnishing increased
service to the consumer, said Mr..
Mahin, advertising deserves special
emphasis and increased appropria-
tons when it was necessary to put
the soft pedal on the sales produc-
ing feature, which so largely domi-
mates modern advertising, that
many have come to conclude it Is
advertising's only justification. He
continued:

AN APPEAL TO US

lucky:
We are warned from Washington
there is n serious food crisis
ahead, for our own people, unless
food production is promptly and
greatly increased. The dire needs
of their people must be relieved by
our Government if they are to sup
port their brave men in the trench
es. If they fail, we fail; if their
lines are broken, hundreds of thou
sands of our boys "over there" will
be slaughtered No starved army,
no starved nation can fight.
We are assured that the people of
the towns of America can easily
raise enough food, in yards and
outlying lots to release for our hard
lpressed Allies all they need. Will
we do it? The answer to that ques-
ton is up to the people of every
American town; up to every citizen
in it; up to your town and you.
There would have been a far
more serious shortage in food sup
plies the past winter but for the in
creased nome garden last year. But
this year, they must be multiplied
many times to avert suffering here
and ruin abroad.
No family of limited means can
afford this year to be without
garden. Food will be hard to get
in many places, at any price, for
railroads and shipping will be
strained as never before, to meet
war needs, and foods from dis
lance cannot be depended on. For
tunately garden production is quick.
There are many thousands of
villages, towns, and cities in this
country. In and about nearly every
one of them there are idle lands
that can be gardened and men, wo-
men, boys and girls who have the
strength and can take the time to
do it. In practically every one of
them there are people who under
stand how to do it and can direct
those who do not have teams, i'm
plements, manures and other need
ed things. Shall these vast human,
land and other productive means,
in and about our thousands of
towns, be wasted, when the fate of
our Allies, the fate of our own
brave soldiers and the fate of this
nation depend on their being used to
produce food? That question, Mr..
Hoover tells us, depends on the
American people, upon us and you
If the people of American towns
have not got men and women intelli-
gent enough to realize the need for
action and patriotic enough to or
ganize, on their own account, and
get action and results, we may ex-
pect disaster. Shall our children
and our children's children say we
threw away the liberty our an
cestOrs won for us and them?
A committee, serving under our
able, strenuous and patriotic Food |
Administrator, Mr.. Hoover, is work
ing without pay or funds. We have |
accomplished much, but can do lit
tie more than endeavor to arouse
the people to the need of the hour. |

well planned that in the enhanced
value Of the trademark alone many
advertisers today possess all they
ever spent in advertising as an in
vestment Of the most desirable
character. Surely such advertising
in times when goods are scarce
should be emphasized as far-seeing
preparedness.
every few advertisers have ever
grasped the idea that by advertis-
ing how what they sell could be in
corporated into the daily life Of the
buyers the service of the advertis-
ed goods could be enhanced and the
value of the goods to the buyer
would be increased"
Mr.. Mahin claimed that batteries,
automobile tires, cold creams, soaps,
many kinds of food products, as
well as office devices, household
furnishings, kitchen equipment and
many labor saving devices, health
conserving and culture creating ar
ticles, could be largely increased in
value by advertising that clearly
demonstrated their use to the pur-
chaser of them.
