"Dear Sir: l have your favor OF

to reach this country before Novem-
Der !, but by that time each Red Cross
branch will have it's allotment of
boxes based on the number of sol
diers in service overseas from that
community.
These boxes may be filled with any
combination of articles, except those
on the list barred by the postal offic-
ials. The articles prohibited are all
Intoxicating liquors, all inflammable
material, including friction matches
and any composition likely to ignite

There are several practical points
to remember in cooking cereals. One
is that there is more danger of not
cooking them enough than of cooking
them too much. Knocked cereal
preparations, like cracked wheat and
coarse samp, need several hours
cooking and are often improved by
being left on the baclSof the stove or
in the fireless cooker overnight. Ger
calls partially cooked at the. factory,
such as the rolled or fine granular pre-
parations should be cooked fully as
long as the directions on the package
suggest.
Flavoring is also an important part
of cooking cereals. The flavor most
commonly added is salt. Such added
flavor is perhaps less necessary in
some of the readysto-eat kinds which
ahve been Drowned at the factory and
have thus gained the pleasant flavor
which also appears in the crust of
bread and cake or in toast, but in the
plain boiled cereals or mushes the
careful use of salt in cooking them
may make all the difference between
an appetizing and an unpalatable
dish. - "A good general rule is one
level teaspoonful of salt to each quart
Of water used in cooking the cereal

HOME STRETCH FOR THE LIB
ERTY LOAN

Keep this thing firmly in mind.
The boys whom we have sent to
France are fighting for the things in
life which we old most dear. With
out these things, life would not be
worth living.
The life of civilized nations is built
upon the principles of truth, good
faith, honor. If you can't depend
upon other peoples agreements, of
what use is it to build houses or ac-
quire property or make any effort for
personal or community advancement.
Our enemies openly disregard and
break their agreements and defy all
laws Of God and man. They defiber-
ately revert to the conditions of TO-
900 years ago, when the man with
the biggest club ran things. They
are attempting to upset and destroy
everything man has accomplished in
10000 years to make life worth while.
They soil womanhood, and they
trample upon cid age with their cruel
feet.
The world is going to be an intoler-
able place to live in if that kind of
thing is to be allowed to rule and
spark of manhood either ought to get
out with a gun and fight it, or if the
government does not want him as a
fighter, to stay at home and earn and
save money for those who do fight it.
Everything we love, hold dear and
reverence. all our business profit and
all civic prosperity, is threatened by
this reversion to barbarism.
So we must all take held with a
will and give splendid and ample
support to the boys that are fighting
this great battle so noisy. Let us
make them feel that we are back OF
them to our last dollar. 1t is so slight
sacrifice we make for them, in fact
no sacrifice at ALL In buying Liberty
bonds, with enc act we make a splen-
did business investment and help to
save all we hold dear from the claw
of the beast.

ONE PACKAGE
FOR EACH OF
OUR SOLDIER BOYS
ALL CHRISTMAS PACKAGES AND
GIFTS MUST BE SENT THROUGH
THE RED CROSS SOCIETY.

The War department authorizes the
following: -
Regulations governing the shipment
Of Christmas parcels to army men IN
service overseas by relatives in this
country have just been completed, fol-
lowing series of conferences be-
tween officials of the War depart
ment, the Postoffice department and
the American Red Cross. Under the
plan worked out every American SOL
der in foreign land will be permit
ted to receive one package containing
Christmas gifts from the United
States.
The navy department has separ-
ate arrangement to enable men In
that branch of the service on duty
abroad to obtain holiday boxes from
loved ones at home. 49,
Relatives and friends who are plan
ming to make Christmas for the SOL
diers in the war zones as merry as
conditions will permit, should bear in
mind that each soldier is entitled to
but one CT these packages. The War
department will not accept more than
one parcel for each man. 1t is ex-
pected that approximately 1000, 900
Of these packages will be sent abroad,
and the amount Of shipping space pro-
vided for their transportation will not
permit of any deviation from the
"one-parcel-a-man rule.
The men themselves will decide who
is to send these parcels. They are
now receiving Christmas-parcel labels
with Instructions to mail these labels
to the persons in this country from
whom they wish to receive the -holi-
day box. " To avoid any chance Of
duplication each soldier gets but one
of these labels. Packages that do
not bear these labels will not be ac-
cepted. In the event of this label
being lost it cannot be replaced. No
Christmas parcels will be accepted
for shipment after November 20. The
cardboard boxes or cartoons to be pro-
vided for these parcels are 3x4x9 inch
e. in size. When packed, wrapped
and ready for mailing these boxes
must not weigh more than 3 pounds. !.
The American Red Cross has agreed
to provide these cardboard boxes and
to supervise their distribution to rel
atives Of the soldiers who present the
proper Christmas parcel label creden-
tial. The. distribution Of the cartons
will be made by Red Cross branches
throughout the country. 1t will be
incumbent upon the person receiving
one Of these boxes to return it when
filed, but unwrapped. to the collec-

Chicago, Oct. l4.-Lingerie, ladies',
may swim the war!
The latest--in Chicago--is that the
United States has called on the fair
sex to don warmer-well now, it's
rather difficult to be explicit, but,
anyway here's the, story:
1t seems that Chicago landlords
hape been saving coal. Hundreds Of
complaints have been made TO the fuel
administration about no heat IN the
Bathroom and so forth.
The fuel administration has issued
signed statement in which 1t dis
cusses lingerie. 1t says:
Many Of the unreasonable demands
by tenants for more heat are due to
the improper dress CT women, who if
properly clothed with full lengthy
undergarments, with full lengthy
sleeves and bpttoning up to the neck,
would not require heat when the tenn
perature is as high as 68 to 20 degrees
in the morning and 20 degrees or
more in he middle of the day."

Death Follows Accident.


John w. Moore, aged 66 years, died
at his home in the north part of the
city, Monday morning at 8 o'clock,
following the accident which he had
near Barryton last week and which
resulted in his taking pneumonia,
which caused death. Mr. Moore was
the first station agent at Chadwick
many years ago when the railroad
was put through and was the first
alderman elected in the First ward
when this village was Incorporated as
a city. He had been supervisor in his
ward for the past three years and was
considered as very competent offic-
ial and highly esteemed citizen. He
had been a resident Of this city for
the past 26 years. He is survived
by.his widow, two sons, Arthur and
Byron Moore, to daughters, Mrs. Roll
and Leland and Mrs. VIM. T. Moore,
of this city, son, Frank Moore OF
Greenville. Clifford Moore of Lansing,
Myron Moore, West Point, Miss, Ira
Moore of Smoky Butte, Mont, Mrs.
Myra Treat of Orleans and another
daughter, Mrs. Mittie York of Evart,
to whose home he was going when
the accident occurred. He is also
survived by three brothers, VIM. j.
Moore of Orleans, Charles Fremont
Moore of Elmdale and Johnson Moore
of Sand Point, Idaho. His mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Treat, also survives
him.
Funeral arrangements are not yet
completed owing to the non-arrival
of Ira More from Smoky Butte, Mont.

90 TO pieces, yielding mostly gaseous
products and liberating large quanti-
ties Of heat. These gases expanding
with inconceNable rapidity create
the power which when confined with
in the barrel Of firearm, throws the
bullet or shell a long distance.
The great practical difficulty, is in
finding combinations that will be Sc
cure against change or deterioration
until the moment GENES to apply the
heat or shock. Explosives are usu-
ally composed Of substances that alb
sorb heat when they are formed, and
this heat is liberated when they de-
compose.
SO it happens that if small por-
tion Of these explosives in storage be-
gin to break down from any cause,
heat is liberated, creating an explo-
sion. Many of the mysterious dis
asters in munition plants resulted
from this spontaneous decomposition.
An instance of extreme liability is
given by nitrogen iodide, which other
wise would have great possibilities in
warfare. 1t will blow up if touched
by a feather, and sometimes go off
merely after friction with air when
being moved from one place to anoth-
err.
Considering our scientists are work
ing with new combinations, it is re-
markable that there save not been
more explosions. These have SEEM
ed less frequent as the war has gone
on. A great body of the best chem
lists are working on the problem of
safeguarding our munition workers
and our soldiers while handling these
treacherous materials.
