A Piker Patriot is a man who can easily take ten thousand dollars worth of Liberty Bonds but only takes q thousand.
 There is no room in this community for Piker Patriots, for ours is no piker toUn.
 If you're that kind you'd better move to some piker town. You'd better go where you'll have some piker friends. For our town during the coming weeks and months is going to be the lonesomest place on the face of the globe for Piker Patriots.
 If you can't pay cash for your bonds, you can borrow part of the money at your bank, using the bonds as security, or you can buy them at your bank on easy partial payment plan. It is no trouble to buy Liberty Bonds it is no trouble to pay for them.

A Piker Patriot is a man who talks a lot about patriotism but doesn't DO anything.
 A Piker Patriot IS a man who loudly cheers the marching soldiers but keeps paddock on his pocketbook. A Piker Patriot is man who goes home every night to a comfortable fireside and happy family, who enjoys all the blessings and oppor- tunities that America gives, who has a good job and good wages, but doesn't even buy q $50 Liberty Bond on easy payments.
 A Piker Patriot is man who bought Liberty Bond last October, one-tenth the size he could have taken, and now when approached by Liberty Bond salesman, sticks out his chest and says "Pue bought one.

Take Care of the MIX.

Here are ten suggestions which milk
consumers could employ, not only to
conserve the supply, but to guarantee
n more wholesome product for the
family:
1. Buy only the best milk obtainable.
1t is cheapest In the long run.
2. Consult the health department be-
fore selecting your milk dealer.
8. Buy only bottled milk If possible.
Dipped milk is often dirty and def
cient in cream.
4. Take milk into the house as soon
as 1t is delivered, and place 1t In the
refrigerator Immediately. Bacteria In
creases rapidly in milk which stands
in the sun or warns up, and such milk
will sour quickly.
5. Keep milk In the original bottle
In the refrigerator until the moment OF
serving. Milk which has been poured
from the bottle should not be returned
to II.
@. Keep the bottle covered with
paper cap or an inverted tumbler, to
prevent the entrance of flies and dust,
which may carry dangerous bacteria
into the milk.
Z. Keep the refrigerator clean and
sweet by means of proper drainage and
frequent washing with scalding water
and sal soda, since milk quickly alb
serbs unpleasant odors and becomes
less palatable.
S. Wash milk bottles as soon as emp
tied, by rinsing first with lukewarm
water and then with hot water. III
there is an infectious disease In your
house, do not return any bottles ea-
cept with the knowledge of the heaith
department and under conditions
which it may prescribe.
o. Return empty bottles promptly
and do not use them for anything ex-
cept milk. Remember that they are
the property of the dealer and repre-
sent cash.
10. Remember that clean milk prop
erIy cared for, Is one of the best ioous
obtainable. 1t is nourishing, digesh-
BILE and usually economical.

DISINFECTION TO
prevent DISEASE
Several WeII-KnoWn Substances
Will Destroy Bacteria.
CLEAN UP BARN THOROUGHLY
Careless Work Is Worse Than None
Because It Gives False Sense Of
Security-Admit Abundance of
Sunlight and Fresh Air.

In any outbreak of infectious disease
neigh ,orhood thorough disinfection of
the premises is essential in prevent
ing its spread. Certain substances
such as freshly slaked lime, or un-
slaked lime in powder form, chlorid of
lime, carbolic acid, corrosive sublim-
ate, formalin, formaldehyde gus, or a
compound solution of cresol possess
the power of destroying bacteria with
which they come in contact. To make
the use of such substances of value,
however, the work must be done with
the utmost thoroughness. Careless
dlsinfection is probably worse than
none If it merely serves to give false
sense of security.
In the disinfection of stables and
premises the following directions
should be carefully observed:
Sweep the entire interior surface,
including ceilings, side walls, stall par
titions, floors, etc, free of dirt and
dust.
Remove all accumulations of filth by
scraplng, and If any woodwork has
become decayed so that 1t is porous
or absorbent 1t should be removed,
burned and replaced with new mate
rial.
If the floor is of earth, remove four
inches from the surface and replace
1t with earth from an uncontaminated
source; or, if improvements are de-
sired, new floor of concrete may be
laid, which is very durable and easily
cleaned.
All refuse material from the stable
and barnyard should be removed to
place not accessible to the stock
and covered with freshly slaked lime.
The manure spread upon the fields
should be turned under Immediately.
The entire interior of the stable,
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, should be saturated with a dis
infectant, as per cent compound
solution of cresol, which would be 4
ounces of the compound to every gal
Ion of water.

MESSENGERS of Death.

There are about 200 separate and
distinct kinds of shells fired from Ger
man guns, and each and every one of
them has been given at least one nick
name by the Tommies, according to
London Tlt-Bits. Some of them have
been given several.
The biggest kind Of high explosive
SHELLS, for instance, are known in
differently as "Dirty Dicks" Jack
Johnsons." "Coal Boxes" "Flower
Pots" "Crumps," "Black Peters" or
"Whistllng Willies."
The smaller kind are "Black Ma
rias" and "Woolly Bears" according to
whether the smoke they emit when
bursting is black, or white with yell
lowish tinge.
High explosive shrnpnel and trench
mortar shells are respectively "whizZ-
bangs" and "plp-squeaks," from their
habit of giving only those warnings of
their approach. "Archlbalds" are anti
aircraft shells. Ordinary shrapnel
projectlles are Little Willies."

Use Milk, but Save Il.

How can the consumer help the milk
supply? By judicious use. good care,
and by utilizing 1t in all Its forms.
That half cupful of milk which was
poured into the sink today because 1t
was allowed to sour-it would have
made substantial amount of cottage
cheese or could have been used in
cooking.
In many households quite a little
milk is wasted-left uncovered in
glasses-regarded useless because the
cream has been skinned off. allowed
to sour-poured down the sink or
thrown away. Half cupful Of milk
whole, skinned or sour-seemingly a
trifling matter. hardly worth the trou-
BILE to keep or use.
But II every one of the 20.0OO00
homes should waste on the average
one-half cupful daily, 1t would mean
2, 100000 quarts daily for the country
912, 100000 quarts year-the total
product of more than 100000 cows. 1t
takes n lot of grass and grain to make
that much milk and an army of peo-
pie to produce and deliver 1t. Maybe
this estimate is too high. Suppose that
one-half cupful is wasted in only one
out of 100 homes. The waste which
this would make is still intolerable
when milk Is so nutritious, when skim
milk can be used in making such
wholesome soups and cereal dishes,
when sour milk can be used in bread
making or for cottage cheese.
