ADVICE TO HoUsEKEEPERs.
Regarding Storage Of Flours and
Meals in Warm Weather.

Hotceyeather frequently produces
spoilage in certain f1ours and meals if
they are not properly cared for, es-
pecially those which contain high
percentage of fats, moisture or the
outer coatings of the grain. To pre-
vent such losses, particularly at this
time when bread stuffs are SO es-
sential to the allies and ourselves. the
following instructions for the storing
of these fours and meals are given:
1. Buy in small quantities
2. See that fiours and meals are in
good condition when purchased.
8. Keep in cool dry place. (a)
Use tins or covered Jars for contain
ers, scalded and perfectly dried. (b)
It is well to use two covered contain
ers alternately, always putting fresh
purchases in a clean container, and
never mixing the residue from the
previous purchase with the fresh pur-
chase.
4. Sterilize before putting away by
placing in shallow pans (or clean cot
ton containers) in an oven and heat
ing slowly being careful not to burn.
or even Brown. The flour or meal
must be in thin layers and stirred
frequently so that every part may be
equally heated. After cooling, place
in clean covered containers.

-ts Modern Nfusketeer.

There is a happy combination Of
satire, old romance, life Of today,
fun and physical daring in "A Mod
ern Musketeer," starring Douglas
Fairbanks, that furnishes thes specta-
tor with an unusually. varied and en-
ioyable quality of entertainment.
The story was written by Allan Dwan
from a novel entitled "D'Artagnan OF
Kansas" and is quite the best Of the
Fairbanks scenarios. The first half
is particularly rapid in movement, and
is chock full Of laughs and surprises.
Scenes satirizing the adventures of
the original D'Artagan are screaming

making Fairbanks stunts. The film
will be the Tuesday offering at the

LOUISIANA cLAYS.
Bulletin Describing Them Issued By
u. S. Geological Survey.

Louisiana has an abundance Of clay
that is suitable for use as building
material. The Increasing cost Of
lumber must soon bring other build
ing materials into more general use,
and Louisiana Is fortunate in having
large quantities of c1ays that are
adapted to making brick and other
structural materials. Clays suitable
for the manufacture Of common
building brick can be found in the
vicinity of nearly all the cities and
towns in the state. and terra Gotta for
firepfoofing can be made from the
claws Of Baton Rouge and Sidell,
which are near the city of New Or
leans. where fireproof material should
find ready market
Some of the clays, notably those kst
SlideIl and Winfield, burn buff in
stead of red and therefore furnish a
pleasing product For ornamental
work. Doubtless similar clays could
be obtained at other localities. The
clays at many places in Louisiana can
be used for making paving brick and
drailltile, and some Of the clays Of
the state are suitable for making
sewer pipe.
A brief description Of the clays Of
Louisiana is given ii Bulletin 660-E
Of the u. S. Geological Survey, De-
partment ofsthe Interior, by Geologist
George G. Matson with a description
and table giving results Of tests made
at the Pittsburg laboratory of the

THE SIGN INVISIBLE"
Mighty Drama Of the Northland a,
the Gem Today and Tomorrow.

Manager Won Lotten of the Gem
promises his patrons feature of un-
usual excellence in 1.-THE Sign Invisi-
ble, which will be the attraction at
his house today and tomorrow. He
says it is q picture with a punch and
moral, but that the latter doesn't
strike one until the play is over, so
dominant is the power of the plot.
Edgar Lewis, producer of "The Bar
rier" and ssThe Bar Sinister direct
ed "The Sign Invisible" " and Mitchell
Lewis, who appeared with notable sue
cess in both Of the former pictures, is
the featured player.
The story deals with the adventures
Of Robert Winston, celebrated sur
geon and God fearing man who loses
faith in Providence because his "sur-
gically correct operations prove fsf
tai to five successive patients-and
worst Of all, his own mother, who de-
spite his protests insists that he and
no other shall perform a capital OPP

him to drink, and he sinks SO low that
friends induce him to visit the Cana
dian northwest for change Of scene
and possible regeneration.
By the time he reaches the trading
station presided over by Lou Baribeau
he is ready for any sort of devilInent.
There he is first sheltered by the
daughter, but later is
cast out Of her fathers home because
of his ateistic utterances. Finding

mentor in iniquity second only to the
vicious Baribeaa himself.
Once in the society Of this. lawless
the young man is involved in
a series Of happenings both thrilling
and pathetic. The dramatic posi-
bilities of the intensely interesting
plot are said to have been excellently
realized by director and actors alike,
the result being a photoplay of un-
usual power and pathos. The pic
sure is Of the outdoor type and is
beautiful both as to scenery and

"The Blue Bird"

AS the feature offering of it's Sum
day program the Grand will present
"The Blue Bird" a beautiful spec
tacular oduction of Maurice Mae
terlinck's poetic masterpiece. We
have it on the word of the author
that "The Blue Bird" brings happi-
ness, and the screen version of the
Belgian poets exquisite fantasy is
incontestible proof that his statement
is true. "The Blue Bird" will appeal
to every mind. 1t has the simplicity
of childhood and the wisdom of
.!eep but kindly philosophy. 1t tells
great truths and it teaches the folly
of fear. 1t dignifes the humber vir-
tues and makes lovelier the graces Of
life. 1t has delicious humor, and its
note is always one of hope. The
lessons it teaches are for all ages.
To sit under it's spell is to receive an
impulse for good that will never be
effaced. The scenario, the direction,
and the acting by the members Of the
cast, all have share in shaping "The
Blue Bird" into a screen poem of
rare beauty.

"Rose of the World" )"

Staged with infinite care and ar
tistic skill by that most artistic Of di.
rectors, Maurice Tourneur, "Rose OF
the World" which will be shown at
the Grand Wednesday, promises to
live in film annals as an exquisitely
developed and dainty production,
breathing an atmosphere of suspense
and romance, vibrant with thrills,
and one of the best vehicles yet se-
lected for the exploitation Of Elsie
Ferguson's fine emotional talents.
Many of the leading lady's admirers
will be inclined to consider this her
greatest triumph in the silent drama
up to date. Her grace, charm and
ability to emphasize. the tension Of the
numerous dramatic situations which
fall to her part are in evidence all
through the picture, and with the
capital suA-ort accorded her by a
splendidly selected cast, it would be
a wonder if this production failed to
awaken high degree Of appreciation
among movie patrons in general.

CASTOR BEANS AS WAR CROP.
Cultivation ON Small Scale Advocated
as Patriotic Service. q.

| ssf
The following statement with ref
erence to the matter Of growing
castor beans hi Louisiana has been
issued BY Dean W Il. Dodson Of the
college of agriculture, Louisiana
State University:
when the question of growing
castor beans Id Louisiana came up,
farmers inquired of me about our ex-
Hperience and perinents with this
croD. sfs no1 tGss tell hem
the truth, which WAS not Favorable TO
the growing ofs castors beans from q
commercial standpoint, since we could
only expect d yield of from ten TO
eighteen bushels per acre. However,
I stated that il the parties inquiring
should give c0nsiderat ation to the SER
vice they would render, as a part OF
the compensate then they could af-
ford to take chance on the castor
beans. From the time the matter
first came up, last December, be-
lieve, have maintained that II the
War Department said the beans were
a war necessity, then Louisiana would
grow its share, but that ! would not
advise any one to grow them as
commercial crop and expect to make
as much or more on them than could
be made on the same land devoted to
cotton or corn.
"At a recent conference between a
representative OF the War Depart
ment and myself where the whole
matter was discussed at length, |
maintained the position that it the
War Department had to have castor
beans as essential TO the prosecution
of war policies, the people would grow
them under any agreement desired,
whether they made anything on them
or not, and on that basis would take
the matter up with our state organlza-
tions, and Louisiana would come up
to her allotment. This representa-
tive said that the War Department
would not take that attitude, and 1t
was after this conference that is
sued the statement to the Louisiana
farmers, advising them against grow,
ing castor beans as commercial
crop.
"However, since the necessity for
the beans grows more emphatic,
think large number Of people should
grow small acreage Of the castor
beans, as national service work, and
take the chance Of making profit on
them and If they lose money, count IF
as a service and not an expense.
