Small POX

Peter Goulette came home from
lumber camp number two at Wen
lock on sick leave. His case was
first thought to be lagrippe but it
soon became we'll developed case
of small pox. The camp has been
quarantined and the proper regula-
tons placed on the home. What
previous exposures this case may
have made no one can tell, but the
health officer anticipates no serious
outbreak of small pox. 1t is, how
ever, wise for parents to keep their
children safely away from contact
with the case and in every possible
way aid in keeping the disease from
spreading.

X. of G. War Fund
granne

The Knights of Columbus War
Fund Drive for $4,000 in Vermont
closed January 30, and was a ire
mendous success in every respect.
Island Pond whose quota was 1904
went over the top" as usual by
sending a check for $605 for this
fund. 1t is expected that when all
returns are in the total amount will
reach nearly $3.50.
Much credit is due the following
solicitors who worked necessarily
for its success: w. A. Gleason, A. j.
Parant, A. j. Paquette, T. H. Far
ell, T. M. Quinn, G. st. Pierre, G.
G. Smith, Frank Paquette, R. E.

is desired to be made of the work of
the lady solicitors, Mrs. S. j. Ma
roney and Miss Elizabeth Streete
who collected $55.75 from the sale of
tickets on table runner, made and
donated by Miss Gertrude Streete
for this event. The Knights feel
deeply grateful to them for their
efforts, the drive was such a success,
and also to all who so generously
contributed, las such short time had
elapsed since a Y. M. G. A. drive
had been held. 1t goes to show that
the people of Island Pond are truly
a charitable people.

Why Smileage Books for Sol
diers' Entertainment?

The war departments answer to most
important question.
An army recruited by draft includes
the best young men of the nation. The
off hours Of these young men are the
loneliest hours of their camp life. II
those hours are to be pleasantly and
BEAUTIFULLY filled there must be provided
not only places to write and read, but
performances OF the grade to which the
men are accustomed at home and oppor-
tunities for them to develop and exhibit
their own skill.
Accordingly, the Council will present
at the camp theatres
Broadway companies in the best
theatrical successes of the season.
The best musical and vaudeville pro-
grams obbainable.
Lectures of the highest excellence.
Amateur performances by the men
themselves.
The work of selling Smileage Books
has been taken up by the Ladies Literary
Club and place for their sale is being
arranged and will be given in next issue

Recruits for Merchant Marine

John w. Thurston of Island Pond is
among 526 New England druggists who
have volunteered for war duty as re-
cruiting agents for the new Merchant
Marine, according to a statement Just
issued by Henry Howard, director of
recruiting for the United States Shipping
Board, at National headquarters of that
service, in the Boston Custom House.
The 526 druggists are scattered all over
New England, from Fort Kent, Me-, OF
Greenwich, Conn, and from Swanton,
VT, into Nantucket. They volunteered
through central organization at Boston
of which they are members. At recent
convention at Boston about 200 stood
UP in one group and took the oath Of
Office as special representatives Of the
Shipping Board. Others have since been
sworn In.
Each Of the 526 druggists will conduct
an enrolling station at his store, at which
Americans II to q, inexperienced in
seagoing, may put their names to applica-
tons for training as sailors, fremen,
oilers, water-tenders, cooks or stewards,
on ships Of a training squadron maintain
ed by the Shipping Board, with head
quarters at Boston, for preparing crews
to serve on the new cargo fleets of the
Merchant Marine.
The cooperation of the druggists with
the Shipping Board was brought about
through the initiative of Louis X. Liggett
of Boston.

CORN Will WIN
)EMOCRACY'SW WAR
ImeriCa's Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
hAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS,
iurpIue Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
snsd Europe.
hAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS,

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ng 100000, 900 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials OF the
United States food administration be-
ieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
t contains all the elements needed to
teep the body in state Of health and
when used according to the scores Of
ried recipes, especially when COM
,ined with an added portion of oil or
at, will sustain life indefinitely. In
liam warriors In colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at q
line, and at Valley Forge parched
.orn was at times the sole ration OF
he Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
.aused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
EVER before. Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War Of the Rev.
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making Of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
-four to make leavened bread. This
kind of mixture is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved in America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is associ.
ated In the war.
There are score Of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
enlng corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead OF
graduated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and fol
every other purpose filed by salad oils
Is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.
