ties that make il also of special value
in the sick room. In hospitals it has
been shown that the wounded recover
more rapidly when they have milk.
'For the purpose Of stimulating
growth, and especially in children, but
ter fat and other constituents of milk
have no substitutes. Therefore, ev-
cry parent owes it to himself and to
his family the duty of providing re-
quisite amounts Of milk, butter, cheese
and other dairy products. During this
last winter when there was much agi-
tation in some of the larger cities over
the price of milk, which was advanced
from two to three cents per quart by
reason Of the rapid rise in the cost of
feed and labor, many families among
the poor were found giving the child
rem tea and coffee instead of milk.
Such methods of feeding fail to nour-
ish the child properly.
sIn spite of the shortage of milk in
Germany, that country has at all ha-
yards maintained the milk ration Of
the childrch and in the hospitals even
tho to do so meant that The adult pop
ulation has had largely to forcgo its
use. In safety first health cam
paign it must be remembered that it
should be children first"

TO MAKE STRAWBERRY JAM
FOR SICK SOLDIER BOYS
Kennewick Women will Send Delica-
cies to the Base Hospital at
Camp Lewis

The Kennewick branch of the Ma
tional League for Women's Service
has begun their work with something
all can do. A committee has been APP
pointed to conserve the fruit and veg
etables of the community. They have
begun on the big ripe strawberry
that every boy in the service from
Kennewick will remember with long
ing when he thinks of May time in
Kennewick. Each housekeeper in the
community is asked to give from one
to five, more if you like, glasses of
Jelly, jam or preserves made from the
Kennewick strawberries to be shipped
by the League to the base hospital at
Camp Lewis.
You can use the culls, and over
ripe berries with little or no expense.
In this way every girl and woman in
the valley can assist in this war work
at odd moments at home, doing the
work in their own kitchens, and TAX
ing no time that is so urgently needed
for the sewing in the Red Cross rooms.
This community should easily furnish
1000 glasses of delicious jelly and jam
Think what that would mean to the
boys in the hospital! The slogan for
the National League is For God, for
Country and for Home" The slogan
for the Kennewick branch is 'Over
the Top" Will you help with the
strawberry conservation and also give
the boys at the hospital treat of the
finest strawberries grown. If you will
phone 14S4.

Sunday School superintendcnts to en-
list members of congregations and
Sunday Schools for more intensive
food conservation has been issued by
DR.. Sherman L. Divine, chairman of

"In order that the United States
government may be able to fulfill its
obligations to our soldiers and allies
across the seas, Herbert Hoover is
calling upon the people of our nation
for greater savings in food.
'This is military measure and alb
solutely necessary to the winning of
the war. He has further asked that
the churches and pastors, together
with the Sunday School superinten-
dents, present this matter to their
churches in as strong a patriotic ap-
peal as possible on Sunday, May 26.
The county chairman, having in hand
the food administration work for the
churches and Sunday Schools, in CO.
operation with the county food admin
istration, will arrange for a house to
house canvass Of his county beginning
Memorial Day, May 80, inviting the
signing of patriotic pledge cards.
81 believe this is an honor and a
privilege, as well as sacred duty
offering us large opportunity for pa
triotic cooperation. Food may be a
deciding factor in winning the war
Will you not cooperate whole heart
edly in your church and Sunday School
both on Sunday and in the drive fol-
lowing, and may / urge upon you the
heartiest support Of your county
cha;rman?"
The following statement with ref
erence to milk has been made by the
United States food administration:
"Milk is ono of the most important
food sources the human r:ce possesses

and its use should be kept up in the

stunt to the War Carnival which the

the Kaiser. He simply can't find any
body who is willing to play the Ho-

en- so, the Kaiser, or rather the lack
of Kaiser is not going to spoil the
parade. Joe's got Uncle Sam, George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
the Goddess Of Liberty and has come
to the conclusion that the Kaiser could
not be expected to parade in such COM
pany.
The parade is to start at the High
school building at 2 p. m. sharp. To
date about forty auto owners have
promised to streamer their cars and
get into line while the youngsters will
feature their garden, pig, poultry and
canning clubs and other @win the war;

of them is to be the Goddess of Liber-
ty. Get tagged early and avoid the
