Conservation of Food Will Be
Continued Under the Super

Effective Monday, December %, the
twelve General Orders of the Food
Administration for public eating

saving in their own hands.

Magnus SwensOn, Food Administrator
for Wisconsin, because of the ready
adoption of all our conservation meas

the present high cost of living and

their independence will undoubtedly
result in but little waste

Officials OF the United Mine Work
ers' Union are conducting question
naires TO find out just why miners are
idle. They express the view that
where any men are not at work it is
through causes they can not control.
and they predict that the question
naires will verify their belief. The
Department OF Labor considers the
coal problem one OF the most import
ant that America must solve.

maximum production during the war
How we'll the men are responding is
shown by the fact that 13,243,000 tons
OF biluminous coal were mined in one
week in July-almost half the amount
OF bituminous coal required for the
New England States and by the min
ing OF more than 100000 tons in one
day on several occasions this season.

assemblage Of high school pupils any

shaping of the destinies of many Of
our pupils.
Through the generous arrangement
OF the Chautauqua management our
pupils were admitted to the concert
and lecture on Thursday afternoon for
the small sum OF twenty five cents.
Over enc hundred pupils took advant-
age OF this offer to the great delight
Of DR.. RAIDER. who enjoys speaking to
the children and who always has a
message for them. The children
were unbounded in their enthusiasm
for both the concert and the lecture.
On Friday afternoon Or, RAIDER
spoke in the high school room to the
juniors and seniors who were delight
ed with his talk as they had been with
the others and were impressed with
the superior quality OF manhood ex-
emylified By the speaker. DR.. and
Mr3. RAIDER visited the various de-
partments Of the school and were
favorably impressed with what is be-
ing done for the children of Ketchi'
kan. He discovered that some OF his

These questionnaires ask the names

POINTERS ON COOP
ERATIVE STORES
United Mine Workers Journal Makes
Suggestions to Unions contemplat-
ing Such Institutions.

The United Mine Workers Journal
urges that in the formation OF coop
eratiye stores by labor organizations
certain policies be kept carefully in
mind-for example, the establishment
and maintenance of a limited interest
rate on any capital invested in the
venture, and a lone man, one vote,
principle as APPLIED to matters effect
.ng the membership. regardless OF the
number OF shares of stock member
may own.
No goods should be sold on credit,
the article suggests. and no goods
should be sold below market price.
Reserve and educational funds should
be established and returns should be
based on the amount Of purchases.
Membership should be open to all.
without distinction of race. religion,
or color.
A staff and suitable equipment are,
of course, requisites for. the operation
OF the store, and best conditions Of
labor should prevail. Committees on
education an drecreation should form
libraries and found reading rooms, it
is suggested.

A Washington housewife employs a
negro servant girl, who sweeps and
dusts on the theory that you don't
have to worry about the dirt you don't
happen to see. The other day her mis-
tress was making an inspection of a
bedroom which the girl had just clean
ed up in preparation for an expected
guest who was known to be very fas-
tidious,
The woman looked under the bed
and saw there very visible deposit Of
fuzz and dust. Calling the girl to the
spot, she pointed this deposit out to
her and asked: What do you call
that, Pearline?'

AND HE LEFT THE DOLLAR
Jenkins Evidently Had No Immediate
Necessity for Any of That Fa-
nous Liquid Glue.

Jenkins, who had gone to the store
that sold everything, happened to no
tice, while the assistant was serving
him, dollar lying on the floor near
by his foot-a whole round, silver dol
lar.
Quivering with excitement and
glanclng cautiously round to see that
no one was watching him, he dropped
quite accidentally, of course-one
of his gloves on top of the coin. Then,
bending, he proceeded to pick up his
glove; but the dollar did not accom-
pany 1t. The elusive coin still re-
NAMED where it was-upon the floor.
He made second attempt to get hold
of it, but with the same result.
Then, just as he was contemplating
the wisdom of third endeavor, a
salesman came up to him and said:
"Good evening, sir! May I be al
lowed to show you bottle of our IA
nous liquid glue? AS, no doubt, you
are aware, its sticking powers"
But Jenkins had fed.

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR THE KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Roo is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Ro has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
