WEEKS FOOD FACTS
FIFTY PER MORE FOOD TO EU.
ROPE THAN LAST
YEAR

Americans must send to Europe this
year so per cent more food than she
sent last year. Americans had to do
"some saving" last year. To increase
this so per cent means they will have
to save moro this year. Mr.. Hoover
says there must be absolutely no waste.
Every person must save his share in or
der that the boys abroad may be sus-
tained in the big job Of delivering the
Knockout blow to the Hun.
Because the Minnesota club, perhaps
the most exclusive organization of the
kind in st. Paul, made false statement
regarding the amount Of sugar it had
on hand and attempted to hold more
sugar than it was properly entitled to
under the food administration regula.
tion, it has been deprived of all icens-
ed food commodities from October 10,
1918, to January l, 1919, inclusive ana
no sugar certificates will be issued to
it until January /.
About 100000, Goo pounds Of suga,
will be saved annually by the new regu
lation which became effective October
Is, requiring consumers to purchase
their allotments Of sugar in monthly OF
15-day supplies rather than by tht

Home Demonstration Agel
TO BE GUARANTEED

Miss Augusta Mette1, visiting nurse
has received information from the
State Board of Health in regards to the
epidemic Of Spanish influenza, which
states that it is expected that all per-
sons suffering from the disease be iso'
lated, and that quarantine be carried
out as far as reasonable, as it is carried
out in all other infectious diseases.
The use of the cause such as are used
by Red Cross workers, be worn by ev.
erybody who in any way come in con-
tact with a person with the disease, such
as attendants, members of the family
and servants is strongly advised and
urged lby the board. It was also sug-
gested that people, who are we'll and
who mingle with many people dur.
ing the day, wear masks as a preventa-
tive.
People who are well but, who have
members OF their household i'll with
the disease, will be allowed to go about
their work providing they do not come
in contact with those who are i'll. Milk
cream and butter should not be offered
for sale or handled by any household
that has the disease.
Workmen are urgently needed at the
Red Cross work rooms to make gauze
masks. This will be done at surgical
dressing classes.

TO RURAL TEACHERS
BURIAL TEACHERS ARE URGED TO
HAVE HOT LUNCHES AT
NOON

The Home Demonstration agent, CO.
operating with the Women s committee
of the Council of National Defense, is
urging every rural school to put in the
hot lunch at noon where pupils bring
their lunch from home. Child conserva.
tion. is one of our most important duties
because the future of America depends
on our school children of today.
The Children 8 Bureau at Washington,
D. c., strongly endorses the hot lunch
work and the question Of proper feeding
has very direct bearing on the men
tality of the child.
The plan is to have one hot dish
served at noon with the sandwiches the
children bring from home; the girls
prepare the hot dish and the teacher
supervises the work. It has been found
that where children have hot lunch
they do better school work, discipline
is easier and the children are above all
better nOurished.
am going to visit every school in
the county as far as time permits OF
where districts are near enough combine
the date that I come to your school
would appreciate it very much if yor
Would invite the mothers in and make
it a meeting that is worth while. This
movement is endorsed by your county
superintendent, and your cooperation i:
necessary to make this success.
I am sending you a leafet on "Milk'
, that you should find interesting to us<
for a language lesson and which als<
contains some valuable information.

TO HELP SUFFERERS
MORRISON COUNTY ASKED TO
CONTRIBUTE 5000 TO VICTIMS
OF FOREST FIRES

tuesday evening "a meeting of the
Morrison County Safety association was
held, the purpose Of which was to de-
eide what Morrison county was going
to do to help the fire stricken people Of
the northeastern part of the state.
Many of the larger cities of the state
have already started to raise funds
which are growing every day. The twin
cities had, to Monday, raised $4,000
and expect to increase that to 500, 900
by the end Of the week. Taking this
as basis, it was decided at the meet
ing to raise $4,000 in Morrison county.
On account Of the prevailing epidemic
of influenza, it was considered inadvis-
able to make house to house canvas
Of the city for subscriptions. Each
bank Of the county has been asked to
take in subscriptions and each have
been allotted certain amount to raise.
Mr., Bergheim, vice president Of the
Safety Commission Of Morrison county,
presided at the meeting and was author
lied to appoint three men to work with
the officers of the association in making
the campaign a success. The committee
made up as follows: NJ. NJ. Williams,
N. N. Bergheim, J. K. Martin, W. f..
Olson, George H. Peterson and Andrew
johnson.
Mrs. L. D. Brown, representing the
Women 3 Auxiliary, stated that that or
ganization in the city would help IN
every way to make a successful drive.
Mrs. r. L. Cochrane, representing the
local Red Cross chapter, stated that a
number of the branches throughout the
county, have expressed their desire to
donate to this fund as they have ready
money in their treasures. 1t was de-
cided that all donations that. come
! through Red Cross chapters or auxiliar'
lies in the county will be credited to
| this fund. Messrs. RICHIE, Martin, ia:
cobson, Peterson, Stephenson, Rider and
Williams all expressed their desire TO
see the campaign brought to speedy
and successful close.
Donations to this cause should be
made in cash and the amounts OF the
donations as large as each person can
afford. Imagine yourself, Mr.. Reader,
in the same predicament as nearly
900 people Of the northeastern part
of the state are, without homes or mon
ey and with only the clothes that they
have on their backs. Not only that,
think of some relative that you m1ght
have lost in the fire. Of course any
amount Of donations couldn't bring
back the dear ones, but when the peo.
n]e of that district see that the rest OF
ns intend to help them in every way,
their gratitude will be unbounded. The
insurance adjustment companies are
working in the burned district but 1t
will be some time before returns will De
made to those who have lost property
so it is up to US to keep these people
in food and clothing until this work has
been accomplished.
To insure the successful completion
Of the drive, each bank has been allotted
an amount equal to 2 per cent OF tne e
money taken in by them during the
third Liberty Loan drive. This per
centage does not apply to the individ
ual.

reason carries great enough weight to
