cal changes in Liberty loan campaigns
throughout the county, are under con-
sideration by officials at Washington,

suggested that better results could
be obtained from short, snappy cam

Those in favor of the plan point to

ing to happen to the lemon extract
This question is worrying many a
woman bargain hunter in South Da-

tained heavy percentage of alcohol
and that some people we're distilling
the liquor by simple process.
Bang. The council of defense stop
ped the sale of the extract. Seizures
followed. The state has large sup

Whether to destroy it or sell it is
the problem. Housewives are anxious
to but it because, naturally. the pro-
