TO KEEP CORN MEAL.

w. E. Doty, a Miami baker, is au- thority for the statement that no housewife should experience the slightest difficulty in keeping corn meal or milo maize meal on hand dur ing the summer. even throughout the hottest weather without contamination by weevil if the proper precautions are observed.
 Meal in sacks. he says, should be set on small platform to keep it off the floor, and so arranged that there fs an air space on all sides. The outside of the sack should be carefully dusted at least once a week. In addition fresh hops should be sprinkled around the sacks. These hops grow wild in many portions of Arizona.
 This is a method which Mir. Doty has followed in his bakery and which can be adapted by any housewife to meet her needs. Meal placed in open bins does not keep so well. It has more of chance to heat and the in- sect which lays the egg for the weevil has a better opportunity to get into the meal than when it is contained in cotton bag.

POTATOES vs. WHEAT


 Wheat is needed for the front line over there Let Arizona potatoes serve as the home guard over here, 1" says Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for Arizona.
 Potatoes were called to the colors a year ago. The result was bumper crop, some of which is still on our hands.
 Potatoes grown through patriotism should be eaten through patriotism. They will go to waste if they are not eaten within the next few weeks.
 Some hotels are adopting the plan of serving free potatoes if no wheat bread is ordered There are almost fifty ways in which you can use them
 .Housekeepers will find potatoes, rice and hominy the dependables as a substitute for bread in the less bread program that must be rigorous ly followed from now until next har- vest"

GET THE RED CROSS HABIT
By EDWARD HUNGERFORD
of the viailantes

dispatching depot on the West Side Of New York for the preparement of its stores for shipment overseas, and the war department found itself so press ed for warehouse facilities that 1t was compelled to take the Red Cross plant for army needs Davison and his fel- lows of the Red Cross gladly moved out and quickly assembled and builded another dispatching depot for their own needs. The spirit of the organi- zation Is that of service. And I have seen enough of its workings to con vince me that 1t Is something a little more than mere service-perhaps serv- ice plus efficiency would best describe 1t
 It seems to me that the time has come when there should be an even larger national appreciation of the Red Cross. Today 1t has only begun to touch the surface of the American peo pie. Continued fighting and extended casualty lists will force 1t far beneath the skin. It cannot be embarrassed for lack of funds. You and l cannot afford to have 1t embarrassed, to be compelled to turn any of its energies from the saving of human life to mere grubbing for cold cash.
 It is time that America formed a new habit. We have some big and fairly expensive national tastes al-

consumptive soldier. With the new cases coming in daily from the trenches the consumptives are not as helpless as the wounded men. When discharged from the army the severely wounded are allowed pen sion by the government. The con- sumptives, however, receive no allow ance unless they can prove that their illness is entirely due to their service in the army. This is not an easy thing to do, and consequently comparatively few consumptives receive govern mental assistance.
 Until the American Red Cross began to extend its aid the plight of most of these men was often pitiful. When discharged from the hospital they are given certain instructions which would eventually bring them back to health. But conditions are hard. They are usually unable to earn much and so do not get proper or even sufficient nour- ishment Very often they are in no condition to look after themselves, still less to safeguard the health of oth- CTS. To meet this difficulty local com mittees have been formed to look after the discharged patients and see that they do not pass on their disease to members of their families. The task Is well nigh hopeless Even If proper living quarters are to be had sanita- tion and hygiene cannot be taught overnight. They sleep in air tight rooms, kiss their babies, drink out of the same cups and use the same towels as the rest of their families.
 In spite of these appalling difficult ties, however, the rapid spread of the disease must--simply must--be check ed. Even to attempt this would be an imposslbility without the tremendous facilities and aid of the American Red Cross No other agency could con.

The United States has now ben at war for more than year. But up to the present time the Red Cross has made but one national appeal for help Its S1OOOOO,OOO drive in the summer of 1917. Now 1t is about to make an other appeal--its second. And upon the heels of the Third Liberty Loan. For. great as are the re- responsibilities and the opportunities of the institution whose blazing symbol is recognized by civilized nations the world over as symbol of peace and of comfort, its expenditures are but a small fraction of those required for our governmental expense for the con- duct of the war.
 Organization of Service.
 The Red Cross has never permitted itself to encroach upon the functions or the necessities of the government, although there are many times when 1t might justify itself in so doing. In the single important instance of trans portation it has refused to burden the army or navy with the carriage of its vast supplies of stores, even though these were destined for the relief and the lives of the soldiers and the sailors themselves. On the contrary, after it had builded and fully equipped great

And for that fifth habit am going to propose the Red Cross-the Red Cross habit, if you please. It will be habit the gathered money of which will go to the credit, not of yourself. but of the greatest charity that America ever has known. which makes this new habit more than habit--a real virtue-the virtue of self sacrifice
 Our Country the Richest
 Try being ready for the Red Cross collector--not merely the next time he comes, but on each subsequent cali Do not face him with the reproachful suggestion that he has seen you be- fore. Our country Is big land, in many ways the biggest and richest in the world, but 1t is not big enough nor rich enough that folks with money can escape with but single invitation to contribute.
 That Is why suggest the Red Cross, habit-the continuous setting aside of definite sums of money by patriotic Americans against the Red Cross drives. It is habit which cannot commend too heartily to you.

 Red Cross Rolling Canteens to the number of 15 are now behind the lines in continuous service. Their crews are exposed to shell fire and often have to put on gas masks.
 Eugene Hale. brother of United States Senator Hale, served six months with a rolling canteen in France, and he says:
 "While the men are glad to have the hot drinks, their chief satisfaction con- sists in the sense this service gives them of friend being there with a helping hand in critical hour"
 And now the American army has asked the Red Cross to maintain this front line service directly in touch with the medical relief stations near. est the Yankee front and this the Red Cross is eager to do.

WHAT IS WORSE
 THAN WAR?
Consumption Four Times More Deadly Than Bombs and
 Machine Guns.

Pierre Hamp, French medical au. thority, estimates that of the 3s.OO0,- 900 people of all ages still living In France 100000 must die of tubercu- losis. The war will have killed about 100000. This means that man with all of his inventiveness is far less effi- cient than Nature as man killer. There have been over 100000 new cases of consumption in France since the war began. This Is why, despite the number of new hospitals, there Is still not sufficient space available for tuberculosis cases

 The Thrift Stamp plan provides Uncle Sam with constant source of revenue, and at the same time teaches the lesson of thrift to mill lions.
 As well as being patriotic duty, it is to the personal advantage of every American to buy Thrift Stamps.

They pay four per cent compound interest; are backed by the greatest security in the world; and the habit of saving odd coins soon results in . very substantial balance that would undoubtedly have been missed if 1t were not for the Thrift Stamps.

This is the opinion of H. k. Waterbury, district horticultur- al inspector, whose deputies have been making an investigation. They report that even Winesaps, extra long keepers, in common storage, are now fully ripe and must be moved immediately in order to save them. Buyers are warned to be careful and unles they are sure the fruit has been held in cold stor- age to examine the fruit before ac- ceptance.

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that Jeweish colon ies have been tried in Argentine, Brazil, Canada, the western United States and Palestine, and have fail ed everywhere bit in Palestine?
 Did you know that the new ques tion now facing the Jews of Europe is, What shall we do with our free dom?
 Did you know what startling sue cess was attending the Zionist ol Jewish colones in Palestine up te the time of the war? For exam pie,
 That the Jewish population ir Palestine rose from 25,000 in 1886 to 43,000 in 1890, then to 95,000 in 1910, and was still gaining wher the war broke out?
 that the steamships and sailing vessels clearing from the leadins port of entry to Palestine's Jewish colonies increased about 100 peI cent. in seven years?
 that in one of the Jeweish col onies the price of irrigable land rose from about $17 an acre to $180 an acre in twenty years, while the value of the colony rose from $6,000 to over $3,000,000 that the Jewish colonists increas- ed the productivity of Palestine soil from the Arabs yield of $5 an acre to their own yield of from $20 to $25 an acre?
 Did you know that the Jewish National Fund was founded in 1901 to purchase lands in Palestine as the inalienable possession of the entire Jewish people, never to be sold, but only leased?
 Did you know that the Pales- tine Land Development Company buys and develops large tracts there for settlers?
 Did you know that the Jewish Co., lonial Trust, Ltd, of London, with it's subsidiary. the Anglo-Palestine Co.,, Ltd, has many branches in Palestine engaged in all kinds of banking business?
 Did you know that Palestine is the only land in the world where the use of Hebrew as spoken lang uage is being successfully revived and on the lips of children at play?
 E No, of course you didn't know these things. We Christians have been too busy with our own mis- taken prooramS t0 nav much at- tention to what God has said in His Word the Jews would yet do, and what He would do for them. And so we haven't even read the newspapers intelligently nor kept in touch with Nhe most thrilling of all current events.
 But we're learning better. The Sunday School Times in sensa' tional yet soberly Scriptural series of articles on the Jews publishes an article by Jew giving the ard ent Jewish Xionist's hopes and convictions.
 Elisha NJ Friedman. Secretary of the University Zionist Society of New York. who speaks for the Jews as a Jew. has packed his message with startling facts. The recapture of Jerusalem by Christians is arousing great inter est in the Holy City today and there are many who believe that the time is near at hand when prophecy is to be fulfilled.
