Warns Against Over.
stocking in Substitutes

Phoenix, Nov. IA. "A warning
was issued today to all wholesale
and retail merchant concerns of
Arizona by the federal food ad-
ministrator against overstocking
in substitutes.
The signing of the armistice
with Germany will make neces-
sary many changes in the con-
seryation program and these are
now being considered in an ex-
ecutive session of state food ad-
ministrators in Washington.
1t is quite likely that the rules
regulating the use of flour and
substitutes will be modified and
for this reason, it is explained,
dealers are cautioned against OBJ
tanning too large supply of
substitutes.

RED CROSS WORK IN
MEXICO AND THE COUNTY.

A common cause is bringing us
closer together. Saturday, Feb. 80,
the Red Cross cause brought about
70 people, women from every nook
and corner of the county, to plan for
extension of Red Cross work in Au-
drain. 1t was an inspirational con-
ference. At noon the local board and
rs out-of-town guests enjoyed a de-
lightful lunch together. In the after
noon, DR.. Million presiding, came the
business of organization.
You who have victrolas can help

make it easier for them.
Nurses, more nurses, is the cry of
the Nation to her women today.
There are 1000 nurses in active SER

come forward to meet demand to
fill the places of those who have
gone. For a strong woman with the
right to choose-there is no selection
which can rank higher than choice
of the life of a nurse lover there. "
A strong point brot out Saturday
