the concensus of opinion in government
circles that within a short time armed
troops from the United States will be
sent to both of these countries. Dis
turbances in Mexico at the present
we are told would if they had occur
! red at any other time, cause an almost
unanimous demand that the Unified
States send troops there at once, but,
as compared with the great war just
ended, seem trivial.
1t is evident to thinking people that
ent conditions and that sooner or later
the United States will have to take over
the government of that country. 1t this
be true then there will never be a bet
ter time than the very near future, when
the veterans of the European war re-
turn and we have, instead of few thou
send militiamen as we, had when trou-
BILE started there a few years ago,
trained, armed and equipped army Of two
million men who have seen service IN
real war.
1t looks like we will have to whip Mex
leo and either take the country or take
charge until a stable government is es-
tablished and we can see no reason tor
postponing action. Carranza has shown
himself unfit to govern the country and
Villa is no better, morally, than the
former kaiser and lacks the latter's
education and knowledge Of general af-
fairs. At best he is nothing but a
brutal, nurderous outlaw. Let us take
Mexico now, while the taking is good,
and get homes there for our returning
soldiers.
1t is doubted that Moscow ever had
a happier Christmas than this one. 1t is
certain there has never been time
when peace on earth; good will TO-
ward all men, meant more than it does
now And then what a grand and
glorious feeling it was to know that
there was not family or individual
here who lacked Christmas cheer and
that all had everything necessary to
make the day a happy one Surely the
scores of good people who donated so
literally to the needy and unfortunate III
and near Moscow know the truth of
the old saying: ct is more blessed to
give than to receive"

Red Cross Calls for Volunteers

The Red Cross is increasing in
need of volunteers for service
abroad. In order to give an op-
portunity for such service to mem'
bers in the jurisdiction of the New
Orleans Chapter and to assist the
Gulf Division in obtaining appli.
cations, the Executive Committee
earnestly requests the co-opera-
ton Of the Branch organization.
Volunteers are now needed in
the Male Department as execu.
tives, secretaries, auditors, accoun
tants, book-keepers, clerks, stem
ographers, motor truck drivers,
automobile mechanics, electrici-
ans, packers, moving picture op.
orators, Chaplains, social workers
journalists, mechanics, etc.
In the Woman's Department
the need is for book-keepers,
stenographers, office-clerks, So
cial workers., canteen and other
workers.
Kindly send the names of any
persons, men or women, who
might wish to undertake this SER
vice, we will forward the proper
information blanks to be filled out
by the applicants. Please obtain
from the applicants at once letters
of endorsement, both as to gen.
eral qualifications and character.
Special attention should be given
to the unquestioned loyalty Of the
applicants. No aliens will be en-
rolled, and it is much preferred
that applicants do not have Ger.
man names. No one will be en-
rolled in Red Cross service who
is within the draft age, unless he
has been exempted from military
service on account of physical de-.
feet.
Most of these positions will in
clude travelling and living expen.
ses, but it is hoped that volun.
teers Of independent means will
agree to pay their own expenses.

Chairman.

Storage of FlOurs and
Meals in Warm Weather

Hot weather frequently pro-
duced spoilage in certain flours
and meals if they are not properly
cared for, especially those which
contain a high percentage of fats,
moisture or the outer coatings Of
the grain. prevent such losses
particularly at this time when
bread stuffs are so essential to
the Allies and ourselves, the fol-
lowing instructions for the storing
of these flours and meals are
given:
l.. Buy in small quantities.
2. See the flours and meals
are in good condition when pur-
chased.
8. Keep in a cool dry place.
(a) Use tins or covered jars
for containers, scalded and per-
fectly dried.
(b) It is we'll to use two cov-
cred containers alternately, al
ways putting fresh purchases in
a clean containsr, and never mix
ing the residue from the previous
purchase with the fresh purchase.
4. Sterilize before putting a.
way by placing in shallow pans,
(or clean cotton containers) in an
oven and heating slowly, being
careful not to burn or even brown.
The flour or meal must be in thin
layers and stirred frequently so
that every part may be equally
heated. After cooling, place in
clean covered containers.

Sugar for Canning Fruit Is
Available Under New
System.

Washington, April 23.-Sugar
for domestic canning and preserv-
ing this summer will be distribute
ed under a modified certificate
system by which each consumer
will be required to sign an appli-
cation for the amount needed.
Adoption of this plan was an
nounced tonight by the Food Ad-
ministration, with explanation
that its purpose is to make sure
home Gamers may obtain suffi.
clent sugar to preserve perishable
fruits, and at the same time place
a cheek upon any who might try
to obtain unreasonable quantities
for household consumption. 1t is
considered necessary to check con
sumption chiefly to guard against
temporary shortages which may
result from withdrawal of more
vessels from the Cuban trade, and
the administration prefers the
method adopted to the card sys-
tenn used in other countries.
Retail dealers will be provided
by their state federal administra-
tore with certificates to be signed
by the consumers. Each certif-
cate must be returned within one
week after it is signed to the
state federal administrator.
In order to build up reserve
stocks to take care of the canning
demand, jobbers are now permit.
ed to hold sugar sufficient to meet
their needs for sixty, instead of
thirty days. Where necessity
demands, federal administrators
will have authority to allow the
sale of more than 1000 pounds
the present limit to retailers. The
prescribed limits of retail sales
for other than canning purposes
will still he Northumberland over
five pounds to persons living in
cities; not more than ten pounds
to those living in the country.

First of U. S. Big Guns
Completed; Beats Germans

Philadelphia, April 26.-Uncle
Sans biggest gun, designed to
throw shells a distance of ia
miles, has just been completed.
It passed thru Philadelphia yes,
tsrday on itsssway to a point on
The Atlantic seaboard, where it
will be given the final test. 1t
vas made at the Midvale Steel
Works, mounted at the Eddy
stone plant of the Baldwin Loco.
motive Works, and weighs 100000
pounds.
Ten shots are to be fired in the
tasts to ascertain the extreme
range of the weapon, but its desi-
qners are confident it will shoot
ia miles. The German long
range gun fires a shell about rs
miles. Nine others are being
built, and all will be on the battle
front before cold weather sets in.
The cannon is so constructed
that it is called a mobile gun, de.
spite its huge size and weight.
Il was mounted on specially con.
structsd Garage and car, but it
rolled along the railroad track as
roiselessly as the best oiled and
geared train in the country.
It can be used for coast defense
or aboard ship, but it is primarily
Intended for land defense.

Sweetness-Cle Cleanliness.

Sweetness in oral taste is &C.
eomplished by saccharin, the &C.
tive principle of sugar. The
sweetness of an odor is derived
from fragrance, a property pc
euliar to horticulture. An infant
Or lass acquires sweetness by a
bath. Bathing with water, as an
ablutant, produces freshness
which is akin to sweetness. Clean
liness is 9 concomiant of sweet.
ness. The opinion is now reach.
Cd that the steam laundry uses
water, abundantly, to produce
freshness, sweetness and cleanli.
ness of garments, not infants or
lasses. Did any one ever think
Of this before?
