You cannot overestimate the import
ance Of keeping the blood free Of inn
purities. When YOU realize that the
heart is constantly pumping this vital
fluid to all parts Of the body. YOU can
easily sec that any implrity in the blood
will cause serious complications.
ANY slight disorder or impurity that
creeps into the blood is a source Of dan

depends upon the blood supply to proper

Many painful and dangerous diseases

Soldiers in the front Of battle,
Defending country from the Hun,
Needing not the roar and rattle,
Grimly bent on victory won
To YOU as We read the story
Will be given a nation praise;
To you will belong the glory
OF upholding Christian ways
You will never be defeated
In bravely fighting for the right;
Though your ranks may be depleted,
There are millions more to JOIN the fight
So NOV them down with shot and shell,
Shoot To kill the vicious German,

Production by Nitrate Plants in July

Within month the first of the
Governments big nitrate plants is
expected to be in operation, and
this will draw from the air much
of the nitrate supply previously OBJ
tanned from ammonia For this
reason the demand on ammonia will
be eased. Never before in history
has there been such cumulative de-
mand for ammonia.
Reports reaching Washington
show that the manufacturers are
meeting with more than expected
success in their efforts to conserve
the ammonia supply. One Of the
largest plants in the country has
reported that in single month in
1913 it's consumption of ammonia
was less than 50 per cent Of nor
NAL. While it is not thought that
such a high percentage of saving
could be obtained generally, it is
confidently believed that consump-
ton can be decreased at least 40
per cent by slight cut in the de-
mand of explosive manufacturers.
This would make it possible to fill
all necessary demands from our
present supply.

Orono, Me, July 3-The following
was issued on Wednesday from the
office Of Charles D. Woods, director
Of the Maine agricultural expert
ment station at the University of
Maine:
II Maine farmers were told that
they had been robbed Of several
millions in cash during 1917, would
they not take precautions to prevent
a similar theft in 1918? Yet. ac-
cording to a conservative estimate
this lie the loss which Maine farmers
suffered by insect enemies Of home
grown food products last year!
This indemnity was collected by
the bugs directly from food that was
growing in the gardens, fields, and
orchards. And when it is stored,
another set of insects begin their
depredations. No type of vegetable
growth or livestock is exempt. Even
the little war gardens pay their tax
to the insect depredators. Silently
but constantly food is extracted by
the insects who eat all day, and then
give place to others who feed by
night Even the unnoticed work
of the bugs when totaled UP makes
a huge amount of loss. The most
faithful and constant assistants of
the Kaiser in America are the in
sects. Not only in Maine did they
work last year but in the As states
their damage to food computed for
1917 by Experiment Station work
ers and Government Entomologists
amounted to 10 per cent OF the total
farm products of the United States.
In other words. 81 400. 00O,O 900 worth
Of food was eaten by insects instead
Of men. An amount sufficient to
turn the balance of the war;
How is this loss accomplished /?
Suppose, since beans are grown ev-
erywhere, we consider this crop as
an example. According to the
United States Crop Reports there
were $4,000 acres planted to beans
in Maine in 1917. With an average
yield of 10 bushels to the acre this
meant 33O. 600 bushels worth on the
farm $2.673,0O0 Cutworms, mag

Lard Substitute from Fish Oil

The shortage of edible fats, which
has become serious matter in Eu-
rope, is now being felt in this coun.
try. and any means by which such
material can be produced from non
edible substitutes is an importan.
contribution to the food supply. 4
process by which this may be ac-
compHshed has apparently beer
worked out by an Oregon chemist
who. in experiments with fish oil
has found that by treating it with
hydrogen in certain manner it is
possible to produce both an oil and
SOLID substance closely resemb inG
lard, both Of which are entirely
tasteless and odorless and may b.
used IN cooking with no apparent
trace Of their origin.
A thorough cooking test of these
materials was recently made by a
demonstration employed by tbs
United States Bureau of Fisheries
After testing the oil and lard sub.
stitute in bread and pastry. as well
as Tor frying, this demonstrated
states that the results were practi-
cally the same as il lard or high
grade vegetable oil had been used
me report coming from the Paciff
coast says that the materials have
also been tested by Government
chemists with satisfactory results,
Arrangements are being made to
produce these materials on a COM
mercial scale
