Give Nut shells
For the Front

"Shell out!" That phrase usually
means that the Red Cross or the 7.
N. c. A. or some other worthy Or
ganization is after funds wherewith
10 carry on. 1t is the Food Admin
istration which uses it noW-but this
time it isn't slang term for give
money" It means exactly what IT
says: Shell out"
A drive is on to collect nut shells
and fruit pits to make charcoal for
the manufacture of gas masks. A nut
shell used to be considered a whole
lot less useful than the shell OF an
egg. The war has revealed a whole
lot of things, and today the humble
nut shell stands forth as a saver OF
lives. 1t is the Sammy's defense
against the poison of the Hun
Hotels and restaurants are collect
ing them in their own kitchens, while
many have installed contribution
boxes for the public to drop an odd
shell or fruit pit into.
All persons are therefore requested
to save the pits of peaches, plums,
prunes, olives, dates and apricots and
the shells of hickory nuts, walnuts,
and Brazil nuts. While the saving
of pits and shells may seem trivial,
it Is an important contribution to the
war which can be made without sacrt-
fee or expense.
All pits should be thoroughly dried
and the meat in the nut shells re-
moved. 1t is suggested that in the
home pits and shells be laid aside IN
a box until there is an accumulation
and then turned in at those hotels
and restaurants, which will have re-
ceptacleS for them.
