MORE USES FOR TOAST

Saving stale bread by makig it into
toast is an economy. In many fami-
lies, toast is served only for break
fast, luncheon, or supper, but the GUS
tom which many high-grade restau-
rants have adopted of serving thin,
crisp, hot toast with the more SUBJ
stantial meals might well be followed
at home. Such dishes as chopped meat
with gravy, creamed cicken or fish,
poached eggs, melted cheese, cooked
asparagus, Swiss chard, baked toma-
toes. ETC., are served very commonly
on toast (that is, toast with a cream
sauce or milk gravy, perhaps favored
with a very little chipped beef salt,
fish, or other savory) may be used
as the main dish at breakfast, lunch
con, or supper. Slices of toast may
also be dippd in water or milk and
beaten egg and lightly Drowned on a
hot CREASED pan. It may be used at
breakfast, and has the advantage of
making the eggs "go further" than if
used in separate dish or it may be
served with cinnamon and sugar
sirup or any sweet sauce for dessert.

SAVE A LITTLE SUGAR
TODAY.

III. Why Ice Your Cake?
Icing Is not needed. Why
not leave it off? Putting
cake on a war basis is an
other way to save sugar
without hardship. Thick
frosting involves the use of
sugar needlessly at this time.
Furthermore many recipes
call for excessive amounts of
sugar. Try smaller guam
titles in your cake recipes,
ETC., and give preference to
cakes which are sweetened
with molasses or sirup.
Housekeepers who have a
stock of canned fruits, jellies,
and preserves in their cupS
boards can lessen the sugar
consumption by using more
of such things for desserts.

|. |. COMMITTEE met
MONDAY EVENING

The executive committee met Mon
day night according to schedule and
the plans for the third Liberty Loan
in Emmons county were discussed by
those present and lot of enthusiasm
was shown. All Of. the executive
committee were present at the meet
ing with the exception of two that
could not arrange to be there.
In publishing the names of those on
the executive committee last week We
overlooked the fact that H. B. Zenk,
of Hague, had also been appointed on
the committee.
The sale of the bonds will be worked
along different lines this time. Each
member of the executive committee is
allotted certain territory and they
in turn will appoint chairmen for each
township who will figure out how
much bonds each individual
shall take, as each township is given
an allotment that they are supposed to
take care of according to their finan-
cial standing. This new way is the
proper way to sell these bonds as the
government needs the money and they
are offering the people of the United
States chance to invest their money
at good interest with good security,
and there is no reason why the people
should not grab this chance for
good investment. Each individual
will be offered the chance to buy what
bonds are allotted to him as his fair
share, and if he refuses to take the
bonds the government wants to know
the reason why; SO when you are ap-
preached by bond solicitor the best
way to do is to take the bonds that
are your share, and if you can't take
them try and explain the reason why
you can't. Most all Of the people
know why the bonds are being sold,
so there is no use of explaining it any
further.
Right here We want to give you
bit Of financial history in connection
with government bonds that will be of
great deal of interest to bond buyers:
ers: ---.,.. -
The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900. two wears after the Spanish
War, 2 per cent bonds were offered at
par and over-subscribed. This is a
financial performance no other nation
has ever equaled.
United States per cent bonds in
1888 sold as high as 130 and in 1901
brought 139A on the stock market.
The United States has never de-
faulted on any of it's bonds. Not one
of it's bondholdcrs has ever lost cent
of priciple or interest except those
who voluntarily have taken losses by
selling their bonds in period of tenn
porary price depression. One hundred
cents on the dollar, principle and in
terest, has the United States always
paid.
Back of the 100000, 100000 to
$500, 600, 100000 of our national re-
sources stands the rugged honesty OF
America. Liberty Loan Bonds are
the safest security in the world.

WHAT IS the
RED CROSS

It is absolutely necessary that we
should have q clear conception Of
what We must understand by the Red
Cross; since some of us seem of the
opinion that the Red Cross is relig-
ious organization, the chief duty of
which consists in alternating people
from their belief and converting them
to this new belief This mistaken
idea can perhaps best be corrected by
y brief
History Of the Red Cross.
In the year 1868, Swiss by the
amesof Henri Dunant wrote tract
in which he described the heart-rend-
ing conditions to which, during the
war, the many wounded and fallen
Of the waring nations are subjected.
SO convincingly did this man describe
this, that the impression which this
tract made upon the regents and pow
ers Of Europe caused them to send
delegates to conference at Geneva,
in Switzerland, in order to consider
how in times of war he wounded and
sick can best be taken cure of. This
was in the year of October, 1868. In
the following year an agreement was
reached, signed by fourteen nations,
known in history as the Geneva con-
ference or the Red Cross conference
agreement. These fourteen nations
decided that each separate nation, or
government should grant its support
and protection to such societies, which
in times of war desire to give aid to
the wounded and sick. AL beliger-
ents should treat as neutral ambu-
lances, hospitals, physicians, nurses,
and all other persons in the service Of
such societies. A Red Cross upon a
white field should be the universal en-
sign Of those who were engaged in
such service. It seems almost unbe.
lievable that this, simple Christian
idea is scarcely over half q century
old.
The American Red Cross
Is Of even later origin. The United
States Of America were not among the
first fourteen nations which signed
and accepted in the year 1864, thi.
Geneva agreement. Not until tn.
year 1882 do we find Americas sigma
ture and acceptance of the agreement
But in its entire significance as W,
know the American Red Cross of to
day, newly organized and recognized
BY act of congress as the official relic
organization of the United States, i
exists only since the year 1905.
Since the year 1905, all civilized ma
tions of the world recognize this fam
GUS agreement.

LINTON BRANCH
RED CROSS NOTES

Mrs. Fred Schnaible and Don M.
Paul are new members.
Linton Bazaar, Bredburg & Gillespie
and Aug. Obermeier are the most re-
cent donaters of money to Linton
Branch.
We are especially urged to increase
the number of socks. There is now
q good supply of yarn for socks at the
Red Cross Room, and every knitter is
urged to make socks.
We are proud of the work of our
sewers. 36 bed shirts, 26 pajama
suits, 10 blanket robes, IL bandaged
foot socks, comfort pillows, 176 tow
els, 10 pillow cases, 2 capes and hoods
and one child's dress were included in
the shipment to Minneapolis last week.
The School Auxiliaries are proving
that they can efficiently help the Red
Cross. Wells School No. 3, taught
by Miss Grace Lingenfelter, made 16
hospital comfort bags. and Linton
school children made 80 knitted wash
cloths, 8 sweaters and one scarf for
the last shipment.
Individual knitters are urged to CO.
operate in supplying the men in
France by refraining from sending to
the soldiers direct. Prompt shipment
has been arranged for Red Cross
goods and duplication and confusion
in distribution will result if goods are
sent through other channels.
+ Pajamas and bed shirts are still
tneeded in large quantities, and it
would facilitate the work if several
women experienced in cutting would
volunteer to help cut out these gar.
ments. The hand-cut garments are
less expensive and more satisfactory
than the machine-cut garments.

PINE VALLEY MEMBERS GIVE CLUBS
TIP HOW TO RUN RED CROSS JOURNEYS
Amas One of the Most Brilliant and Sensational Golf Matches Ever
Played Philadelphia Course-Bg Was Play
Of D.. .Travera a Pine Valley

of very fine order He tired toward
the finish so far as his tee shots were
concerned but he more than made 1t up
on fine second shots and his work on the
green was of a very fine order all day
long. He putted with confidence. and
the keen greens were much to his liking.
Travers' Sensational Work
He and Travers supplied most Of the
sensational and thrilling shots of the
day. The four times amateur champion
played some wonderful shots. notably
his iron shot on the second hole, his APP
proach on the eighth and his approach
on the fourteenth, not to mention a
number Of long puts that he ran down,
two of them for birds. There Is no
other man playing who uses his head
better than Travers. and while at times
he was in trouble with his tee shots, he
had plenty of fine drives and his iron
shots, of which he Is master, were near
ly always good.
Kirkby had never seen the course be-
fore Sunday and was, naturally, at
disadvantage. AS has been said, his tee
work was of a high order and some of
his irons were thrillers. During the first
round he held the other pair without any
assistance from his partner. During
the day some one asked him what he
thought of the course and he promptly
replied that it was even better than he
had been told. During his round he told
Howard W. Perrin and Howard W.
Street that II there was a vacancy in the
nonresident membership. he wanted to
join. He remarked that 1t was far su-
perior to the National Links. hitherto
regarded as the best test of golf in
this country.
Teamwork Was Poor
There was nothing brilliant about
Andersons play in the first round, but
coming home he played brilliantly al
| though the super par golf of Travers
| and Marston was too much for him. AS
a team kirkby and Anderson did not
work we'll for while Kirkby was brill
liant the first round he fell down COM
ing home, while Anderson was poor the
first round and brilliant coming home.
On the other hand Travers and Marston
were on the job constantly and each
backed the other up in fine style. On
their home journey they played every
hole but the eighteenth in either bird
or par figures, scoring birds on the
fourteenth. fifteenth and sixteenth.
Their partnership as we'll as their in
dividual work on the last nine holes
particularly was signally brilliant.
