To End the War

One big wallop to end the war!
And the U. S. A. is about to give it..
With an American army of A.
10000 men in France" says Chief
of Staff P. C. March, 1--WE can go
through the German line wherever
we pleased"
The army is now almost two
million strong. To get the rest, the
Government has let down the bars
men 1S to As (both inclusive), !,
except those previously registered,
are to furnish the additional
strength needed to push the Huns
back to the Rhine and free the
world of Kaiserism.
A glorious opportunity! Small
wonder that Registration Day, Sep
tember II, will cause such en-
thusiasm. For these men were
left out in the cold" before,-told
to sit back while others fought
their battles. why can't we fight"
they asked, 1--WE are physically fit
through working in shop or field y
or they hadn't been back of desks
so long they had forgotten their
manhood" How keenly they felt
being mot wanted; how they fair
ly ached to help when they read
the casualty lists.
For native born or alien, they
realized plainly what they owe to
this country. They realized it was
time to show their gratitude for
all the u. S. A. has meant and done
for them-a life of peace, prosper
ity and happiness among men their
equals.
And now their chance has come.
Thirteen millions Of men must
register September II. II they do
not register they will not only risk
certain arrest and severe punish
ment, but declare themselves unfit
to be called Americans. When the
Draft Boards descard the physical
ly unfit, the exempt because of
family, the men in war industries,
there must remain more than 3
100000 men ready for training.
These men will give the big wal
lop that will end the war. Are you
between Is and 45? Present your
self at the Regulation Place Sep
tember y, proudly-as an Ameri-
can should.

The Coolest place in
the Refrigerator

Many housewives have learned
from sad experiences in loss of
periShable foods that next to the
ice is not the coolest place in the
home refrigerator. To the house
wife who has not had this expert
ence the Food administration
gives this advice:
MANY put their butter and milk
right next to the ice because they
think this is the coldest place, but,
as matter of fact, the coldest
place is at the bottom of the re-
frigerator. Hot air rises, and air
that is not being constantly puri-
fed by circulation around the
blocks of ice soon are unfit to come
into contact with the food. When
the warm air in the refrigerator
rises it carries with it impurities
and moisture of the food. and
which if allowed to remain in the
air spoil the food. The air which
is warmed by passing over the food
comes in contact with the ice
where the moisture is condensed
upon the surface and the impur-
tiles are carried off by the melting
ice. The air is thus dried, cooled,
and purified. The cooled air i'm
mediately descends to gather up
more moisture and impurities and
thus the process is repeated con-
tinually.
ut is advisable to allow heated
food to cool off before placing it
in the refrigerator. If put in when
warm it raises the temperature of
the refrigerator higher than it
should go and melts ice unneces-
sarily. The trapdoor through which
the meltage passes out at the bot
tom of the refrigerator should be
kept in place, because if it is brok-
en- or lost constant stream of
warm air is allowed to flow into
the refrigerator"

Plan Gas Attack on Weevils

Bean and pea weevils-which
annually destroy millions of dol
lars worth of valuable food and
feed in the form of beans, peas,
and cowpeas in storage-have not
yet discovered the advantages of
gas masks. Those who expect
trouble from weevils can success
fully kill them, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
by a gas attack Immediately after
the crops are harvested. Carbon
disulphoid should be used. Place
the seed in an air-tight container,
such as a tin can, barrel, or bin,
and over the top pour small
amount of the chemical q to 4
pounds to every 500 cubic feet of
space to be fumigated), cover the
seed with burIap or old blankets
and fumigate from "a to As hours.
The seed should then remain in air.
tight containers, and should be in
spected frequently to see that the
weevils do not reappear. In case
they do, repeat the gas treatment.

Conservation of Liberty Bonds

The privilege of conservation
which arose i'm consequence of the
issue of 4 per cent bonds of the
Third Liberty Loan will expire on
November 8 next and under exist
ing law can not be extended or re-
newed. Delay in exercising the
privilege will result in over-bur-
dening the banking institutions of
the country and the Treasury De-
partment by making it necessary
to handle all conversions at the
last moment and may result in
many cases in the loss of the privi-
lege of conversion altogether.
Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to exchange them
for registered bonds in order to
protect themselves against the risk
of loss, theft, and destruction of
their bonds.
The banks throughout the coun-
try, as a matter of patriotic service,
will doubtless all assist bondhold-
ers in converting and registering
their bonds.

CUTTING DOWN SUGAR
Sacrifices Are Necessary to Properly
Aid Our Allies

To cut down domestic sugar con-
sumption from 15.7 ounces to ounces
weekly per person is the present great
task of the American people, in order
that the Army and Allies may not suf-
fer.
During the first five months of 1918
refined sugar consumed in this coun-
try totaled 1.507,23S tons. That meant
a per capita consumption weekly OF
22.4 ounces for all purposes. including
sugar used in manufacturing. in ice
cream and in sweet drinks and other
forms now dubbed 'non-esesntial." For
household use alone the figure was
1871 ounces, as stated above. Since
August ! this weekly figure has been
reduced to about s ounces. under the
two pounds per month voluntary ra-
ton prescribed by the Food Admins
tration.
The American sweet tooth, then.
must crafty itself with about one
half its former quantity of sugar; and
1t will require even less if it can be
brought TO the spirit of conservation
the Food Administration is trying to
instil.
By cutting to the new ration, in re-
lation TO consumption during the first
five months of 1918 the national saw
ing will be more than $4,000 tons
weekly, $1,000 tons monthly, and about
4S5,b0 tons from August l to Decem-
Der 81.
This will more than meet Frances
needs for sugar during the last half
OF the year. And France needs the
sugar more than we do. To make
this saving means that every Ameri-
can must cut down ~ ounces weekly.
or IL ounces every day. 1t means
that we must confine ourselves, in our
homes. to about six level teaspoons of
sugar daily, which must do for prep,.
ration of food. as well as table use
The American people showed their
mettle by saving wheat enough to tide
the Allies over bad situation that
threatened them with defeat. The
sugar shortage can he met with equal
resolution.

More Wheat Flour Allowed

State Food Administrator Nit
chell has recently issued a ruling
which states that beginning Sep
tember /, the ffty-ffty rule on
wheat -four was amended by de-
creasing the amount of substitutes,
but specifying the kind of substi-
tutes to be sold. The new rules are
as follows:
Retailers, millers and all others
selling wheat flour direct to con-
sumers must in every instance sell
substitutes in the following pro-
portions:
10 lbs. wheat four-212 lbs. sub
stitutes.
Is lbs. wheat four-3$4 lbs sub
stitutes.
20 lbs. wheat flour-5 lbs. sub
stitutes.
25 lbs. wheat flour-6H lbs. sub
stitutes.
80 lbs. wheat four-712 lbs. sub
stitutes.
so lbs. wheat flour-121a lbs,
substitutes.
Is lbs. wheat four-1SA lbs
substitutes.
100 lbs. wheat flour-25 lbs. sub
stitutes.
1876 los. wheat tlour-49 lbs. sub
stitutes.
The only substitutes to be sold
in combination with wheat flour
are: barley flour, corn meal, rice
flour, oat flour, bean flour, potato
flour and buckwheat -four. Rye can
be sold only as substitute in pro,
portion of lbs. rye to 3 lbs. OF
wheat flour only. No package
goods or breakfast cereals of any
kind are to be sold as substitutes
This rule is to take place of al
previous rules and must be fol
lowed.

A Daily Duty

Each day every American soldier
in France is confronted by great
duty. Our Army there has a great
task to perform for our country,
for the world, for civilization, and
for humanity. Our soldiers are do
ing their duty with a courage and
fidelity and efficiency that thrill
every heart.
Each day every American citizen
at home is confronted by a great
duty, duty as imperative upon
him or her as the duty of our SOL
diers is upon them. The American
people have great task to per-
form. 1t is to support to the limit
of their ability our Army, our
Navy, our country at war.
To work with increased energy
and efficiency so that our national
production may be increased; to
economic in consumption so that
more material and labor and trans
portation may be left free for the
uses of the Government; and with
the resultant savings to support
the Government financially is the
daily duty of every American. 1t
is duty that will be met by every
American whose heart is with our
soldiers in France, who glories in
their course and fighting ability
and their success.

SAVING SUGAR TO
AID TIL: SAMMIES
Housewives Must Not Relax on
Food Conservation i
America is to Win.

There is no chance for the house
wife to relax in regard to food con-
servation.
Just as the wheat situation begins
to look brighter, she has now to turn
her attention to more intensive
sugar saving program. Last years
temporary shortage served to point
the way. Means We're discovered of
cutting down on sugar and using
other sweetening. That was Il mere
apprenticeship, however, compared
with the conservation campaign which
now becomes necessary.
For the burden of maintaining the
allied sugar supplies falls on us. There
is not enough sugar availablS for us
all to live in accordance with our
peace time habits. We must share
with them. Our great war program
has reduced our sugar carrying fleet; !;
the sugar requirements of our over
seas army are very large our domes-
tic crop is less than we expected: we
have diverted 10000 tons of sugar
shipping in order that Belgium should
have food; Germans have destroyed
sugar beet fields and factories in nor
thern France and Italy; more than
10000 pounds of sugar was sent to
the bottom of the ocean off C1r shores
recently.
If by our own selfish use of sugar
we should force the allies to send TO
-
their meager sugar ration for next
year, it would take eleven extra ships
These eleven ships could transport
and keep 10000 TO 100000 soldiers in
France.
This loss in shipping space can be
averted by reducing our own normal
consumption.
TO reduce this by almost one-half
as is now being asked of us, seems a
sudden sacrifice. but it can he done
and without any loss of nutrition.
Since about 20 per cent of the
countryS sugar supply passes through
the hands of the American housewife,
it is evident that She has a most i'm
portant role to play in its conserva-
| ton. First, it is her part to see that
no more than two pounds per person
per month come into the family lar
der. Second, she must make this
amount go round. It must he pooled
and made To cover table use as we'll
as what goes into the cooked food
Just as in the use of flour substi-
tutes. she will learn from experience
and practice many ways of using other
sweetening She will also learn how
TO substitute other energy and fuel
giving foods for the sugar she has re-
lied upon in days of plenty. She will
shift her fuel food from sugar to
starchy foods.
Every patriotic housewife will be
conscientious about the use of her
sugar certificates for canning and will
! return any unused amounts. Much
! sugar can be saved by the drying of
fruits or by canning without sugar,
| adding sugar when the supply will not
! be so narrow.
/ All this takes time and thought, but
/ it is voluntary contribution TO ulti-
mate victory. Judging from the part
she has played in the nations wheat
| saving. the American housewife will
| again be sure of recognition when all
/ returns are in on the sugar saving
! campaign.
