URGES PEOPLE TO
SAVE FRUIT PITS
SPECIAL RED CROSS
CAMPAIGN,

If our boys in the trenches and our
nurses in the field are to be nro-
vided with the best gas masks pro-
durable, the nationwide campaign
paign to save fruit pits and nut shells
must be speeded up to the limit.
An emergency now exists and Gov.
ernor Lister has felt the matter Of
sufficient importance to issue the fol-
lowing call to the citizens of the
state:
THE Red cross is urging the
people OF the state to save fruit pits
and nut shells for government use.
The carbon in these materials is to be
used to protect our soldiers on the
battle front from German poison
passes. l am informed by the divi-
sion director of the Bureau of Con-
servation of the Red Cross that real
emergency exists in this line, and am
writing to urge all persons to save
all fruit pits and nut shells and to
deliver the same to the nearest local
Red Cross chapter headquarters
This is a line of activity in which
valuable service can be rendered. /
hope the people of our state will re-
spond to the call being made"
Fruit pits and nut shells are used
in the manufacture of carbon for the
respirator and the quality of the car
bon determines largely the efficiency
of the mask.
The government has asked the
American Red Cross to collect for
this purpose peach stones, apricot
pits, prune pits, plum pits, olive pits,
date seeds, cherry pits, butternut,
Brazil nut. walnut and hickory nut
shells.
Pits of cherries imported in brine
from Italy should not be included,
nor should any other material not
mentioned in this line. 1t is not
necessary to keep each kind of pit
separate They should, however, be
sound and thoroughly dried.
Housewives are asked to put a
pail in the corner of the kitchen just
for the government, and as it is
filled turn the contents over to the
Red Cross. Two hundred peach pits
or seven pounds of nut shells will
. produce enough carbon for one gas
mask.

He weighed l65 lbs., and fell off until he weighed no lbs, ia two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked ike he would die We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up 2 ten-cent bottle Of castor oil, and drink il two or threc days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.
 Isent and bought Thediord's Black Draugdt. made him take a big dose, and when it began to act he tainted, he was in such misery, but he got relief and began to mend at once. He got well, and we both feel he owes his life to Thedford's Black-Draught."

Morris, who was in the city yes terday and imparted news of the above transaction, which is the high est price ever paid for this article. ranging close to S5 cents a pound. A remarkable feature of this purchase is that the ab9ve sum is net to the producers, no commissions being de- ducted, and with the shipping charges paid by the buyer, F. Lissberger x Go. There was no inspection of the clip. it being taken for granted that the product was as represented.
 Mir Morris also states there will be no further deals closed on the above basis O. set price of S5 cents per pound, as the market now shows a tendency to climb to dollar inside of co days. "This batch goes at a sacrifice, under existing conditions. but We all concluded to pool and let it go at the above net rate, otherwise we would have refused; the buyer telegraphing to the local bank to honor the draft shows that the mo- hair was badly wanted, and the big sum was speeded up to us,' said Mir.

CFrom Tuesdays Gaily.1

With but eleven working days re- maining before the close of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, some tall hustl:ng must be done in Pres colt and mant parts of Yavapai cOun- ty in order that the quota assigned may be reached.
 The time has gone for argument and every. man and woman in this community must subscribe. Many have been giving the excuse that they wanted to wait and see the re- suit before they subscribed, but if they are to see any gratifying result, it will be by means of their own sub scriptions.
 Ninety-two individual subscriptions were added to the list yesterday bringing the total of individual sub scriptions up to S97. The total amount subscribed in Prescott through the four local banks IS Sl5S, 250. leaving a balance to be sub- scribed of S15l,75O, before Prescott's quota is reached. This means that every man, woman and child that'can, must get in the game and play ball.
