25 TONS OF ETHER
 THAT'S ONE ITEM

Only the quickest action imaginable, which included the shipment of tre- mendous quantities of hospital sup plies from Red Cross stores in France. as well as large purchases in Italy, made the emergency work of the American Red Cross possible during the recent distress in Italy brought about by the rout of the Italian army.
 No such mission for human help has ever seen the like of this heroic work by the American Red Cross in Italy.
 For the winters needs 1t was found that 750 tons of hospital supplies were required, and these were ordered in America for immediate delivery to Italy.
 Some of the things ordered were an- aesthetics, surgical instruments. rub Der goods, enamel ware, gauge. ab- sorbent cotton and drugs. Just what such a shipment means is difficult for layman to grasp.
 If you'd like to see your druggist lose all his senses at once just tell hlm about some of these quantities that were ordered for use in Italy.
 Tell him that 250 pounds of quinine were ordered. Since the war quinine has been difficult to get at any price.
The Brinkley argus., 1918-05-24

It has jumped from S2.50 a pound in France to $50 a pound. Quinine Is very badly needed in Italy, and this Red Cross shipment has been nothing short of boon.
 Other items which give better ideu in terms of the things which mean most to the wounded are 15 tons of chloroform and 25 tons of ether These items are beyond the power ot the layman to visualize, but he can come nearer to picturlng 2,000 bales of absorbent cotton, the quantity asked for.
 Orders for all these goods for Italy were placed last winter in America and the American Red Cross has seen to 1t that shipments of each item are in process of delivery right along to re. lieve the terrible misfortune of the people in Italy.

BIG CORN CROP
 IS NOW MOVING
More Than 5000 Million Bushels Raised in 1917-GiveS
 Big Surplus.
SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn Con- sumption in History, Using Cereal
 in Many Delicious Dishes.

Corn, Americas greatest cereal crop, is now moving rapidly to market
 More than 5000 million bushels 30 bushels for every man, woman and child in America-were raised in 1917. It was mighty crop. The actual in- crease is about 800 million bushels And this extra store of grain is con- ing on to the market in the nick of time, since the American wheat sur plus has been sent to help feed famine threatened Europe.
 Just as it happened in the Colonial days, the War of the Revolution, and the Civil War, corn has actually be- come the nations mainstay.
 In the entire list of Americas food commodities there is no item that is better than corn. In buildings, bread corn pone, and as hominy combined with meat or eggs, corn is without peer. Housewives are fast learning the large number of delicious dishes that may be made with corn and their families are benefiting by an increas- ed use of the cereal. Corn, more than any other cereal, contains all of the elements essential to maintaining life and health.
 In order that the fighting men abroad and in the army camps at home may be fed, and in order that actual famine may be kept from the nations associated with America In the war, the citizens of America are finding IaIi 1a to a on "wheatless days" and glory in the fact that "wheatless days" here meap more wheat for the war worn allied nations in Europe.
 England, France and Italy must be fed from America's great storehouse. They will get some corn-especially ItaIy-but most of their grain ship ments must be wheat. Their ability to use corn is small compared to the facilities they have for using wheat. And it is the opinion of officials in Washington that the present is no time to try and change the eating habits of Europe.
 America's greatest use of corn will be in the form of corn bread and corn meal, mixed with wheat in the making
 
 of leavened bread.
 Mixed with 80 per cent. wheat flour, corn meal can be used in bread mak- ing, producing a loaf more nutritious than bread baked with wheat alone. It Is a fact corn nillers will verify that dozens of the large American bak- CTS have been successfully using corn flour in bread making for several years.
 Hominy grits served at breakfast with a poached egg, or eaten at any other meal with meats or gravy, Is an other use of corn that will become un- usually popular during the war
 Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes, and corn oil for use in all kinds of cooking, are two more products that are already welcomed in thousands of American homes.

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
 ADMINl STRATION SAYS:

Food saving is in its essence the daily individual service of all the people. Every group can substl- tute, and even the great majority of thrifty people can save little --and the more luxurious elements of the population can, by reduc- ton to simple living, save much. This means no more than that we should eat plenty, but wisely and without waste.

SUGGESTS MOTORING
FOR VACATION TRIPS
Railway Congestion May Be Thus
Relieved, Says Carmody.

II people motor this year for their
vacations instead Of using the rail-
roads, they will not only have all
the advantages that automobile tour
ing brings, but will also have the
satisfaction OF knowing that they have
added their mite of help to the gov
ernment by relieving the railroads
of unnecessary travel.
Mr.. Francis Carmody, president of
the Henderson Motor Company, dis
tributors for the Saxon, believes that
movement for more motor vaea-
tions and less rail travel this COM
ing season would have a very def
mite effect upon the rail situation in
the country.
We all want to help the govern
ment as much as possible and the
elimination of unnecessary rail travel
is one of the first things that the ad-
ministration has suggested since it
took over the operation of the lines.
Now vacations are necessary and I
do not think that technically we
could class the rail journey between
vacation points and home as being
unnecessary. However, it will be just
that much more help IL people this
year will use motor cars instead of
railroads.
In fact, 1 am confident that a lot
of families will adopt the auto
mobile on their vacation this year,
for this and other good reasons.
There is opportunity for many short
trips by motor car which have all
the benefits of longer rail journey
without the loss of time, which in
these days is bound to be a factor
to a great man. Then. too, the
automobile offers a selection of
routes that cannot possibly be at
tanned by train, and which are COM
ing to be recognized as ideal va
cation trips by more and more mo-
torists.
1T doesn't follow at all that to be
successful an automobile tour must
run into mileage. Short tours are
as happy as long ones. The big
thing to be considered is the kind
Of car that is to be used. What 1
believe is ideal in a motor car for
touring is a light. yet roomy auao-
mobile with abundant speed and
power and which is so sturdily con-
structed that it will give perfect serv-
ice. think economy should be consid-
cred because operating costs, if paid
for short period like a vacation,
are more than when stretched out
over a longer time in ordinary home
driving.
Saxon is always prominent
figure in touring circles Owners
in all parts of the country have
found it an ideal car for trips and
some of the most beautiful jaunts
of two or three weeks have been
made by Saxan owners at a cost of
as low as IS a week for each per-
son, including all expenses Of the
car and its occupants"

The irony of fate that sent Ver-
non Castle to his death at a peace

Company believes to be the air

WATCH BEARING ADJUSTMENT

1t is just as bad to have parts fit
too tight as it is to have them too
loose. A bearing which is too tight
will loosen rapidly and will pound
while so doing. 1t is bad practice to
have the bearings taken up merely by
refitting the movable half. The whole
bearing should be refitted II the part

correct amount of time he must wait
before he makes his shifts.
Most of us are in too big a
hurry to shift: we do not give the

gears clash or in some instances can
not be changed at all.
