All over the country war gardens
have been planted to raise food to
..help halt the Hun"
This summer millions of cans OF
vegetables will be put up by can
neries and housewives for winter
use, but everyone should have a
chance to eat the fresh vegetables
while they are at their best. II you
have more than you can use now,
sell them to your less fortunate
neighbor who has no garden. What
can't be used fresh, can for winter,
One of the safest rules for keeping
we'll is to eat a variety of food.
Vegetables are great help in giving
variety to your meals.
Eat vegetables every day; many
are mild laxative and they are better
than medicine. They help keep you
and your family we'll.
Use many kinds and lots of them.
Let them take the place of part OF
the meat and bread you are using
today. Don't think that because
vegetables contain so much water
they are not good food. They are
one of the most valuable kinds of
food we have. Vegetables have their
own particular part in the diet
which neither meats nor cereals nor
fruits nor sweets can play.

Hearst's Magazine for June has a
splendid account of the new navy
under the administration of Secre-
tary Daniels. The Secretary of the
Navy, so long villified and abused by
the pro-liquor press, is now rscog-
nized as one of the greatest men pro-
duced by this nation in recent de-
cades. If our army had been as
ready for war as our navy, the
Kaiser would have been hanged in
Inter de Linden, to the sincere
qualification of all honest men and
the edification of the Huns.

Some day peace will come. Thou
sands-millions of men-will sud
denly be thrown back again into
civil life. Consider the vastness OF
the. re-adjustment that will be neces-
sary. Look back at the period OF
reconstruction after our own Civil
War. Prepare for this new period
of reconstruction. The day OF
reckoning is bound to come. Begin
to save now. Thrift is the need OF
the present, the hope of the future.

are wise provision for the day

Arizona distinguishes herself as
being the twelfth state to ratify the
Prohibition amendment. 1t Is a DIS
tinction because it marks one-thlrd
the distance to the ratification goal
She is the seventh Prohibition
state to put her stamp of approval
upon the national dry law. She al
most matched South Dakota in dry
sentiment by coming within three
votes of making it unanimous. The
three adverse votes were cast in the
House of Representatives, the Senate
going on record unanimously In
favor. Arizona is the sixth state TO
ratify at special session of the Legis-

May There Be None Unenlisted On
That Day.


President Wilson, in his statement
calling upon every man, woman. and
child to pledge themselves on or be-
fore June 28 to save constantly and
to buy regularly the securities of the
Government, says, MAY there be
none unenlisted on that day!'
AS the President points out, This
war is one of nations-not of armies
and all of our 100, 100000 people
must be economically and Industrial
ly adjusted to war conditions If this
nation is to play its full part in the
conflict"
Our Nation, not our Army and
Navy only, is at war. And that
means that all of us not actually
fighting must do our part.
That part consists in giving the
Army and the Navy all the support
of which we are capable. To do
that each one of us must first of all
be producer to our maximum abil-
ity and a consumer of neccssities
only, for every bit of man power and
every particle of material is neces-
sary for the use of the Army and
Navy and for the making of the
things essential to our citizens.
AS maximum producer and as a
consumer of necessities only, each
one of us will he an accumulation of
savings And these savings can be
invested in War Savings Stamps witt
benefit both to the Government and
ourselves.

Insect Powder.

One Of the curiosities of the Bo-
tanical world is a plant, (Qufrila, or
Pyrethrum Cinegariaefolium), the
flower of which dried and reduced
to a powder is known as Insect
Powder. 1t it hardy and blooms
abundantly the second year after
ceding. Varieties of the Pyrethrum
family are cultivated in America as
ornamental plants. 1t is very SINH
lar to the Aster and almost as at
tractive.
The Powdered Flower is non
poisonous and harmless to man and
domestic animals but if properly
prepared causes the speedy death of
such pests as bed-bugs, f1eas, flies,
mosquitoes, ants, reaches and water
bugs. It can be used with perfect
safety, and without fear of affecting
young children.
The Toxic principle is an Oleo-
resin, which upon coming in con-
tact with the insect closes the respir-
atory glands, producing stupefaction
and death.
The rugged mountains of Dal-
malta yield cultivated variety
whose flowers produce an excellent
powder. Montenegro yields wild
flower of grade equal to the best
Dalmatian. Powder from this flower
is sold as "Montenegrin Wild"
Persia also produces plants (Pyre-
thrum Carneum and Pyrethrum
Roseum) from which the Persian
Insect Flowers are gathered. They
yield powder of inferior grade.
A variety grown in Japan and
which is being brought into this
country largely, produces very
excellent powder.
The Olto-resin, the source of the
insecticidal properties, appears to
reach it's greatest development when
the flowers are just about to bios
som or open. When gathered at
this stage, in bud, they are termed
Closed Flowers, and bring the high
est prices for import. They yield a
greenish yellow powder which emits
peculiar pungent but mild and not
disagreeable odor.
The half blown and full blown
flowers are known in commerce as
Half Closed" and "Open Flowers"
respectfully, and as they in order
yield a Powder of less strength or
efficiency than the buds or CLOSED
Flowers" they are marketed at pro-
portionately lower prices.
The flowers are gathered in very
dry weather in June and July, care
fully cured, and dried under cover,
and comprest in bales weighing
about 400 pounds.
The insecticidal value of the
flowers is much reduced by careful
picking, curing, and handling, since
the flowers and powder lose strength
when exposed to air and moisture.
We exercise every possible care and
precaution in buying and grinding
to get out Powder to the consumer
with it's entire original strength.
