know that it will not be a hardship for you to meet the re-

When you get your check next December use your money
as your needs may dictate, but by all means, for your own

lay the foundation for a fund that you will welcome gladly

VIII Be Much Greater

Every person will feel the strain of the war this year.
Money will perhaps be more free, you will have the handling
of probably more than ever .before-but demands will be
greater, and for the necessities Of life you will pay more than
last year. But with all this you can save a small amount
each week and never miss it, receiving as a result next De
cember a check that will enable you to enjoy perhaps the
brightest and most prosperous Christmas of your life.
You may wish instead to invest in a liberty bond. Many
of you, no, doubt will not require the money for Christmas
expenses-many others who go through the year saving reg
ularly may prefer to put the money saved behind our sol

necessities. When you get your Christmas Savings money
it is yours to do with as you wish, and no grander, more pa

bond. Perhaps only by saving weekly could you buy a lib

INSTANT ACTION CALLED FOR

Members Of the medical profession,
alert to Its interests, should 60 out OF

town Of Wrangell, Alaska, Is supplied
with a physician forthwith, that Is, II
the void has not been filled within re-
cent days. Wrangell has been without
a doctor for some time. and Is annOunc-
Ing that horse doctor will do II the
regular kind cannot be supplied.
Every day thai Wrangell enjoys ro-
bust health without physician In Its
midst Is potential menace to the
business Of all the brethren Of the pro-
fession. Some man with nose for
news Is likely to bore into compara-
tive death rates any day. How would
the brethren like to read calm state
ment to the effect that Wrangells
death rate has decreased 8 per cent In
the last four months? And it might
easily happen, Alaska being so bloom
Ing healthful. anyway.
How is anybody In Wrangell to know
that he has appendicitis, or gallstones,
or impossible tonsils, or adenoids or
arteriosclerOsis, unless n resident pill
sharp is there to tell him?
There are a lot Of people who will
fret and lose flesh II they are not quite
sure what they have to worry about.
The reported void at Wrangell should
be filled, and forthwith.-Seattle Post

No Open House for Rats.

Do not keep "open house" for rats
by leaving basement doors ajar for
ventilation without proper safeguards.
The management Of large depart
ment store In an eastern city recently
had a very expensive lesson In this
regard. Rats had been doing damage
to the extent Of nearly $1,000 month.
but by persistent trapping were finally
extermlnated. The building was then
made "rat-proof." But after time
rats were again at their work Of de-
struction.
Puzzled to know how the pests had
gained entrance, the management
learned that In summer the night
watchman was accustomed to leave
basement door open for ventilation.
Naturally the rats entered and an
other campaign Of determination had
to be waged. This expense could cas-
lily have been prevented, says the bu-
reau of biological survey of the depart
ment Of agriculture, If piece Of sheet
iron three feet high had been placed
across the doorway and the sides Of
the doorway sheeted with metal
or otherwise made smooth SO that rats
could not gain a foothold. Rats can
not climb over such barriers, as they
do over mesh or crossed wires.

PACKING FRUIT FOR MARKET
Good, Clean and Attractive Packages
Count for More Than inexperienced
Man Realizes.

The commercial grower knows that
good clean packages and honest attrac-
tive packs count great deal-more
than the inexperienced man realizes.
Fruit coming from the Pacific coast,
where good packages and professional
packers are appreciated, finds ready
sale and good prices. Eastern growers
have learned many a lesson In fruit
packing from their Western brothers.
The Western product outsells that pro-
duced In the Central and Eastern
states because Of the very attractive
pack Of the former. While the quail.
lty of certain classes Of the Pacific
grown fruit is no better than Eastern
grown stock. yet 1t Is so carefully sort
ed and packed that 1t at once catches
the eye of the fruit purchasers and
adds at least Is per cent to the selling
value Of Western grown fruit.

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
In hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach Is starter OF
untold misery for Its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeatlng-it Is the dam
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about 1t In this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t Is comm0nsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get a good appetite in
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.
