VIGILANCE MEANS SAFETY

Eternal vigilance is the price OF
safety and Colorado citizens should
not for a minute relax the precautions
they have taken to protect their pro.
perties and lives from enemy spies
and dcstructionists. Carelcssness
may quickly be followed by loss.
The Colorado Council of Defense
urges constant watchfulness. There
has been no destruction in Colorado
and none is threatened SO far as is
known. But it is well now to take
special care. The presidential regu.
lations governing alien enemies short.
ly will go into effect. Fires and ex-
plosions are reported in the East. The
two facts go hand in hand. Malicious
resident enemies there are attempting
harm before their freedom is fur.
ther restricted.
Colorado is not troubled by any
within her borders. But the malicious
in the East might attempt to move
westward, as they have attempted to
do in the past.
Vigilance, therefore, should be the
watchword day and night.

Americas great corn crop. sxcssa-
ing 5000, 900, 600 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation. Ohicials Of the
United States food administrator ~
Asve.
Corn 10 the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realise.
II contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In . state Of health and
when used according to the scores Of
tried recipes. especially when COM
bined with an added portion Of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived ON
parched corn alone for many days at .
time. and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration Of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difaculties
caused 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 .
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War. King
Corn has again come to the front II
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
hour 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 greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound Of
wheat saved in America means a pound
u wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is assOci-
ated In the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening 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 for
every other purpose filled by salad oils
10 appearing on the market In large
quantities.. 1t comes from the germ Of
the corn.

And the public should not support,
hereafter. local or county financial
campaigns that have not the approval
OF the various county councils of de-
Tense in their proper jurisdiction.
In Denver the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association will act joint
ly with the State Council of Defense.
A special committee of the council will
pass upon the merits of all proposed
statewide solicitations and will ap-
prove or disapprove them, soley upon
their merits, after careful investiga-
ton. The membership of this COM
mittee will be kept secret, even from
other members of the council. to pro-
tect the members from unnecessary
annoyance and pressure.
The council has advised the chair
men of the county councils of defense
to appoint similar committees to pass
upon the merits of county campaigns.
1t is hoped by the state council that
this plan will protect the public from
unnecessary solicitations and at the
same time prove of benefit to the
movements of merits.

KADE.IN.GERMANY LIES
Circulated IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Nade-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C.
eordlng to an Official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
Of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts Of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
ut lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize" y
