Community Kitchens

Community kitchens are be- ing established in many of the counties in Arkansas. It IS our plan to establish four or five of these kitchens over Monroe county, and for them to be visit ed by the County Demonstrator every two weeks, or oftener if her work permits, to give dem- onstrations in war cookery, can- ming and preserving fruits and vegetables, eggs, fish, etc.
 We are hoping that every family in this county will be able to take care, at least, of itself in the great food crisis that is in- evitable in the near future, and that on those cold wheatless and meatless days next winter when there will be little or nothing green in the garden, the house wife can walk proudly into the cellar and bring forth beans, tomatoes, fruit, eggs preserved in water glass, fish, etc, and find herself as safe in the great food problem as old Noah in his Ark was from the flood.
 Further more, women are con- plaining that their husbands do not like substitutes and in the past have refused to eat them. Now, of course, it is not an op- tional matter with him = this eat ing of substitutes The HONOR is thrust upon him. But every true wife brides herself on mak- ing whatever she cooks or has cooked as appetizing and pleas ing as possible to her family, and truly the housewife of to- day is facing far more difficult problems than she has ever faced before. She is called up- on suddenly and almost cere- moniously, to adjust herself to entirely new methods of cook ing and of running the kitchen; and this along with her many NEW duties is almost staggering, but she will rise to the occasion as she always does. and the com munity kitchen is one of her ways out. Through this she can keep in touch with the new recipes and experiments the government is daily making for her benefit. She will soon realize that Uncle Sam has not forgot ten her problems and is coming to her rescue, and soon the bane of meatless and wheatless days, or weeks, or months, or what ever they might develop into be- fore this mighty struggle is over, will pass away and she will know what will give the body the same properties as meat or wheat. and what is more, will know how to prepare it in a most ap- petizing way.
 Lend a helping hand to the movement for community kit chens, and we will not allow Monroe county to lag in this be- cause she lags in nothing else.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work we'll, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonOuS stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or we'll, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach IS wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly eX- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells. stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly compilations are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little. but is sufficient to make anyone pro, nounced crank on the subject of Internal sanitation,

On MARRYING Aviators.

1t Is noticed that the dear girls are
marrying aviation lieutenants more
than any other class of soldiers. This
Is not because so many of them are
Killed. but because the service is the
most romantic, and if there is any
thing u well-balanced girl likes more
than anything else it is romance. And
to have husband who sails the blue
skies and goes hiding in the clouds
makes girl very proud. She has a
right to be. He is looked upon as a
superman who gets beyond the domain
of gravitation and wanders in the re.
gfons where the angels are supposed
to fly. When such a one gets back
to earth and sits with his wife before
the cordial fireplace, and talks to her
Of stars, sunsets and dreams, could
there be more delightful company:
Who would not be an aviator and face
all the perils of aviation for such an
experience? No wonder the govern.
ment has more aviators than It wants,
