PRIMITIVE WAYS IN ARABIA
Mode of Life Differs Little From,
What 1t Was in the Time of
Abraham.

It appears that in certain parts Of
the Arabian desert life is as primitive
as in Ablaham's time. Sheep are
still slain to seal vow. The salt or
bread covenant is observed and when
man dies his tent is torn down and
destroyed
Old names like Joseph. Moses, Alex.
ander, etc. are still in common use
among Arabs. although pronounced
"Yusuf," "AIusa" and ''Skanaar.' To
divorce his wife man may repeat the
formula "Ent telek' three times; usll-
ally uttering it once makes the woman
behave and the repetition is not nee
essary. The evil eye superstition is
common. and the first Injunction civ

nSWat the Ratin

Since the Introduction of the house
rat in the United States they have
become extremely abundant and widely
distributed throughout the country,
where they destroy annually many
millions OF dollars worth of food
products and crops. These losses
occur alike In cities, villages and
farmsteads. Their inroads upon food
products occur In freight departments
of railroads and steamboat lines, stor-
age places of grain and food dealers,
commission houses, wholesale drug
houses, candy shops. bakeries, flour
mills, cold-storage houses. city and
country dwellings, granaries, fields
and poultry yards. The loss of food
and other products In the United
States from this source amounts TO
not less than S2O0,0D0.O00 annually,
which amount does not include indi-
rect losses occasioned by human dis
ease disseminated by rnts and the
necessary expenditures in combating
them.

Barley Flour
Corn Flour
Corn Meal
BuckWheat Flour
POtdtOe Flour
Rice Flour

This means that to buy an 1s-barrel sack of wheat
flour you are not required to buy but els pounds Of
substitutes. ..-... s.
Pure Rye Flour is now a substitute, but upon
different basis namely, pounds rye flour to each 3
pounds Of wheat flour purchased
The consumer is expected to use these subst-
tutes in Victory bread mixtures and it will be con-
sidered unpatriotic for any baker housewife in
the country to bake any bread that does not contain
at least 20 per cent of the substitutes
There a few more legal substitutes for wheat
flour, like feterita -four and meal milo, kaffir flour,
oat -four bean -four etc. butas we have none of them
to sell in this section it like waste of ink to
say anything about them until we have them on hand
to SELL -
The restrictions on the amount of wheat flour
that can be sold at time have been removed pro-
vded that the legal substitutes accompany the sale 1t
will materially help the grocer and his delivery clerks
if you would buy 1s-sack and the substitutes at
one time rather than the smaller quantities.

Will Teach Food Conservation.

Miss Esther Christensen, young
lady sent here from Ames, arrived
yesterday and will have her office
in the County Agents Office in the
court house. Miss Christiapeon
will remain here for a year, and
her work will be the teaching of
food conservation to the people of
Winneshiek county. She is en-
ployed by the state and the county
bears part of the expense. She
will demonstrate the use of sub
stitutes in the conservation of food.
1t short time Miss Christianson
will arrange schedule and visit
the different townships and homes
in the county and make demonstra-
tions. A meeting of the chairmen
of the different townships has been
called for Saturday, June l, to
meet in DEBORAH and get acquainted
with Miss Christianson and get an
outline of the work to be done.

After the stuff is applied and settled
it looks like asphalt. We under
stand that it costs about the same
as road oil and is applied in the
same manner.
While we believe it would be an
excellent thing for the streets of
DEBORAH, it would also be a fine
thing for the country roads. A lit
tie experimenting with the stuff
would be good thing. A mile or
so of roads should be treated with
this dressing and try it out. If it
does what those who know say it
will it will save us all money and
at the same time give u some
mighty good roads. Mr.. Sanders
tells us he could make up about
10000 gallons at the gas plant here
in DEBORAH at any time now.
1t is his intention now to apply
it on the street from the pavement
to the race bridge at the west end
of town.

GREAT STREET DRESSING
w w. Sanders of the Gas Co. Has
Made Up a Dressing Which
Makes Great Streets.

Last week w. w. Sanders, mana
ger of the DEBORAH Gas Co. applied
a patch about 6x15 feet of tar road
dressing on the dirt street leading
from West Water street towards
West DEBORAH. 1t was put on just
for experiment by Mr.. Sanders and
it worked to perfection. Of course,
the application of this particular
kind of dressing is not new, as large
firms manufacture it in cities for
street dressings, and it is used ex-
tensively.
The patch Mr.. Sanders applied
worked out fine and after the heavy
rain of Friday, this particular piece
OF road was dry as a bone, while
mud predominated all around it.
