CORN WENT UPWARD ON POOR OPINION OF GE ERMAN ANSWER

Chicago, October 22.-Corn took a de- cided upward swing in price today ow- ing to general belief that the Berlin an- swer to President Wilson was insuffi- cient The market closed strong, SIS to Ss4 net higher, with November 12S9s to l23a4, and December 120 to l20A. Oats finished IF to 2c up and provisions at gains of 15c to s14a
 Sharp advances with which the corn market opened were well maintained throughout the session. After the first rush of buying moderate reactions from initial top figures ensued, but bullish sentiment gathered additional force, and was virtually unchanged as the day came to an end. Attention of traders seemed to be wholly absorbed by the fact that the unofficial text of the German state ment differed widely from the bearish versions that yesterday had caused values to break
 Oats merely reflected the fluctuations of corn. Receipts were not large, but there was an absence of seaboard bust ness.
 Strength in provisions grew chiefly out of buying that was ascribed to packers. Dealings were for the most part in Jan uary deliveries on wlE-a restrictions as to price changes during any single day hpu hoe ron

''CIean Up" Week For Red
Triangle Collections In May

Atlanta, Ca, April. - "Clean Up"
week has been designated from May
LIST to 9Th. This does not mean the
furnishing up of municipalities or the
date set for burning rubbish in back
yards. It is the date set by the second
Y. M. C.. A. war work campaign fund
organization in the Southeastern mill
tary department for boosting collec
lions on the last campaign.
In report by R. H. King, director
Of finance in the Southeast, issued on
April 18th, it was shown that 73 per
cent of the collections had been made.
1t is his aim to make that percentage
climb to IS per cent by the end of
Clean Up" week and local committees
will act accordingly.
Two states have already exceeded
the SO per cent mark; Mississippi and
Florida. Georgia comes next with 71b
per cent, the others are as follows:
Alabama, 10; South Carolina, So;
North Carolina, So; Tennessee, so. n
"The mobilization of dollars in dfS
rect gifts to be applied to national de-
tense is shortcut method of winning
the war;" said A. H. Whitford, ma
tional financial campaign director,
when told Of the Clean Up" week plan
OF pushing collections Of subscriptions.

has one son an officer and another an

Efficiency: These Devices
Tighten HoMsesOork
Household Tools

a woman's time may be worth little
or much. There may be blessings to
be wrung out of continuous drudgery
if it cannot be escaped, but there is no
virtue in drudgery as such if you can
make your 'head save your heels and
by using economical devices for your
household work set the human machine
free for work that is more valuable and
varied--work the machine can't do.
With every industry calling out for
labor and SO many war activities de-
pending on woman's work, it is mis-
take in economy for any woman to run
household without proper tools, even
when saving is an important factor.
1t is true economy to put in your
time on the highest grade of work you
can dc and leave the routine tasks to
apparatus or shorten them by using
proper tools whenever you possibly can.
This is true, far-sighted economy, not
extravaganza, though it may call for an
initial expenditure. Ten dollars spent
now for vacuum cleaner or freess
cooker or some other piece of household
apparatus may mean $50 saved in the
course of a year.

A Blessing for the Hallroom Boy-or Cir

IEATLESS days are bad enough under
any circumstances. But what are you
going to do if you are an occupant Of
small room that boasts one lone gas jet for
lighting purposes and no possibility for heat
except from the small radiator or--in some
cases--from the supply pipe that up
through the room?
If there is electricity electric heater
is impossible. In fact, for most ballroom
dwellers it would be impossible anyway, be-
cause of the expense.
A gas heater of the usual blue flame or
luminous type is equally out of the question,
because these require special connection. Even
if they could be used from the lone gas jet the
heater would take all the gas, leaving none for
the light.
Just here is where Silver's Gas Light Heat
is a big help in small room. 1t is simply
eight-inch convex steel disc lined with ashes
tos and provided with a wire frame which sup
ports it above the gas jet. All you have to DO
is to light the gas and adjust this heater. There
is no more heat than that ordinarily gener-
ated by the gas flame, but. instead Of being
allowed to rise directly to the ceiling leaving
the lower part of the cold, it is DETECTED
that considerable warmth is obtained from
the ordinary lighting jet. And this is not ALL
for the heater in addition to warming a small
room, is planned to allow water to be heated
or light cooking to be done upon it's top.

Or how often have you expressed yourself
heatedly to the jantor the subject of the
people in the flat above-those careless people

Fiat dwellers are never neighborly, but who
can say how many times diplomatic communi-
cations between the inhabitants of your par

cause of that omnipresent and pestiferous drip

But here is way of escape from all such
complications The Overflow Refrigerator
Alarm is an automatic device which fastens en-
the bottom of the refrigerator and connects
with small wooden box that holds the buzzer
and fashlight battery Below the ice box a
metal float is suspended by chain directly
above the drip pan, SO that the float comes
about an inch below the top. This is connected
with circuit breaker fastened to the bottom
Of the refrigerator. The circuit breaker is
connected by four and one-haf feet of flexible
wire with the battery box, which can be hung
either the wall or at the side of the refrieer-
ator
When the water in the pan is high enough to
buoy up the float that it begins bobbing
around on the surface the electric circuit is

N THE present crisis, when it is so
vital to conserve the wheat -four in
every possible way, oatmeal will be
found an excellent substitute Ground
with one Of the small hand mills, it gives
an oaten flour that is extremely palatable
and that can be used in number of deli
cious recipes.
Cooked oatmeal is also susceptible to
novel methods of service and in the menus
for the coming week these are made the
special feature. 1t must be remembered,
however, that when the rolled oats are
used shorter time will be required for
its cooking than when the regular bulk
oatmeal is employed. This is because the
former preparation has been exposed to
heat, while the latter is merely the raw
grain.
In cooking with oatmeal or oaten flour
less shortening will be required than in
the case OF wheat flour, owing to the fat
IN oatmeal. But additional baking now
der is necessary because the preparation
does not rise SO well as when wheat -four
Is used alone
Especial attention is directed to the oat
meal recipes following the menu service,
all OF which will be found extremely good.
The meat bill for the week is partcu-
larly low: a quarter of pound of salt
pork, one pound and a half of stewing
mutton and four pound piece of round
OF beef for pot roast being the only pur-
Schases. In the estimate for the prices,
however, 10 cents additional is allowed for
lardlng the roast with strips of fat pork,
which renders the meat better favored
and more juicy when cooked The latter,
however, is a matter of individual taste
