!. DESTROY ThIs House Pest.

The silver fish-like insect known as
silverfish or slicker Is q troublesome
pest IN many homes where it is found
In books. papers, clothing and other
articles containing starch. 1t is par
tlcularly destructive In Libraries, being
fond of the paste used in the bind
ing of books. Frequently it feeds on
the paste used in applying wallpaper,
causing it to scale Off. It also dam
ages starclied clothing. linen and cur
tains If left undisturbed for any consid-
erable period Of time. Nearly every
housewife is familiar with this obnox-
ious little pest, which is able to run
about with great rapidity, though they
may know it by some other name than
silyerfsb.
One Of the best household remedies
for silverfish is pyrethrum. Sodium
huorld, a most efficient roach powder,
Is also ln effective remedy. It may be
busted, or applied With the powder
blower, wherever the silverfsh is likely
to occur. Frequent handling and airing
OF starched clothing and similar OBJ
iects viii aid in their destruction. A
thin, boiled starch paste made of three
quarters ounce of powdered white ar

but also for much time from citizens
in charge of them. As result of all
7 these activities, the average citizen
was acquiring more and more def
mite ideas concerning the meaning Of
war to him and more and more clear
" grasping his duties and response
bilities. 1t has been a gradual pro
cess OF awakening that has come to
us-an awakening to the signifi-
cance of the war and the great is
sues involved in it as well as a self
awakening which has revealed to us
the path of patriotic duty from which
we may not swerve without incur,
ring the odium that rests upon the
Stacker.
In our own little community close
observers have seen this war-awak-
ening process taking place We have
seen men and women becoming more
and more willing TO accept the tasks
assigned to them by fhe govern,
ment; we have seen them becom-
ing more and more generous in giy.
ing their money to the various agen-
ciea that are recognized as vital parts
Of the war machine; we Nave seen
the Stacker falling more and more
into disrepute and the entire mass
of our people working with hearty
good will at every task assigned
them. The result has been that our
war pace has been accelerated day
by day till now when the call comees
for personal service or contributions
to any cause our citizens Immediately
proceed to do their duty
Within the last few days, Mr. G.
w. Austin, by order of the "smii-
cage" committee, has raised about
$500 for the soldiers entertainment
fund Mr. NJ. e Humphrey chair
man of the finance committee Of the
local Red Cross chapteE, has called
lOI WOIhGlP W IdlSC p1-uV q i1AOAltiA
and they have Loyalty responded and
the people are signifying their viii
ingness to give all that is asked OF
them. The War Savings committee
has called for workers in the Cam
paign for sales agents and patriotic
men have responded The merchants
will be asked to sell War Savings
stamps and we have no doubt that
they will perform this duty. In all
these movements is seen an acceler-
alton of patriotic service which
speaks well for the community. But
with all this quickening Of pace and
increase of efforts, we must remem,
ber that heavier and heavier de-
mands upon our time and money are
to be met as the war continues and
we must resolve to meet Hike true
patriots every obligation that is i'm
posed upon us.

SPEEDING UP THE WAR PACE

The more a man knows about this
horrible war thing the more eager he
is to do his part to help end it in
victory for his country TO the IN
telligent man who reads the news
papers and magazines, keeping him
self thoroughly informed concerning
the great events that are taking place
in the world at the present time, it
is not necessary to present any ar
guments when he is called upon to
contribute to the Red Cross or as
sist in any other war work. Such a
man knows the situation that his
country faces and unless there is
something radically wrong with his
moral makeup he is eager to go his
full length
At the beginning Of the American
participation in the huge tragedy
probably few OF us fully realized the
extent to which we as civilians would
be called upon to play q part III It..
AT first many had the idea that the
main contribution Of America in the
contest would be material and IL
nancial aid for the allies. When we
learned that a million and perhaps
many million American youths were
to be sent to the battlefields, the
tragedy Of the thing began to dawn
upon us but we still had little con-
ception of what would really come to
pass, i. e., the necessity for mobiliz-
ing and bringing into use the sum to-
tai Of the nations resources, includ-
ing man, money and materials.
For several months after war was
declared the ordinary citizen was apt
to feel that he was patriot il he
"cussed" the kaiser, stood up when
THE Star Spangled Banner was
played and was ever ready to cheer
when "Old Glory" was unfurled But
it was not long before we began to
understand that it was only the
shallowest sort of patriotism that
was brought into action when we
exercised our emotions. 1t began to
be brought forcibly home to us that
the government expected and de-
manded Of each Of us that we play c
positive and absolutely necessary
part in carrying out its war program.
1t was early evident that the gov
crnment must have huge sums Of
money and that 1t must come form
the people in the form of taxes or
loans. What this meant to us was
made more clear when the first Lib
erty bond issue was offered. Then
came the campaigns for the Red
Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A., calling
not only for contributions Of money

WHEAT AND MEAT CONSERVED
Much Can Be Saved by Use Of Various
Substitutes in Arranging Lunch
for Children.

Wheat and meat can be saved in
thousands of lunches carried each
morning to school by the children OF
this nation. There is no need to de-
crease the energy value or noulish-
ment of these lunches but in addition
to saving wheat and meat it is pos
sble with the various substitutes to
give q pleasing variety to the noon
meal at school.
Since whatever meat brought from
home is usually in the form of sand
wiches. the problem Of the meatless
lunch is not hard, for so many good
sandwich filings other than meat are
easy to secure. Here are few sug-
gestions for sandwich filings: Chop
ped hard~boiled egg mixed with salad
dressing; peanut butter; cottage or
cream cheese; chopped dates and nuts.
All are good and the children viii like
them as well as meat.
For the wheatless day The sand
witches are more of problem, but
toasted corn mullins, rye bread, oat.
meal bread, or oatmeal or corn waters
can take the place Of the bread made
of wheat only. The dllings can be
anything usually used.
A sweet such as chopped fruits and
nuts pressed and cut iD cubes or slices,
II piece OF chocolate, or oatmeal cook
les, viii find favor with the children
in place Of tie eooky or cake made
from wheat flour.
Sandwiches fruit, and a sweet make
good lunch, especially If supplement-
ed by a cupful of not cocoa or soup
made at school and containing some
milk. Or the lunch brought from home
may be even slmpler--plain bread and
an apple or other fruit are enough if
the hot dish prepared at school il a
hearty one.
