The Corn Smut
Can Be Controlled

Corn smut reduces the yield of corn
by spelling the ears. This trouble
can be entirely avoided by burning all
smut found. Do this before the sacks
burst because then the spores are be-
in gscattered for next years crop. Do
not feed stalks infested with disease
to cattle as the spore will get in the
manure and infect next years crop.
Do everything possible to prevent the
spread Of this disease and get the
neighbors to do likewise so that the
community will be free from this dis
ease.

Stray Comets,
|Vagabonds of Heaven

The Harvard astronomical observa-
DRY announces the appearance of two
new comets in the skies.
Such celestial visitors are always
interesting, if only for the reason that
there is so much of mystery about
them. They emerge from the depths
of outer space, and most of them
presently depart. Now and then there
is one that swings for while about
the sun in an elliptical orbit, but
sooner or later it breaks up or takes
flight into a cosmic void, disappear

AS light muslin curtains often catch
fire it is god plan to put an ounce of
alum into the last water in which they
are rinsed This will make them al
most fireproof, and if they do catch
they will not blaze up and catch the

Try mixing mustard with milk in
stead Of water or vinegar. The flavor

TAKE PHOSPHATE
With MEALS In
SUMMER M E
Your Nerves Demand 1t, Your Blood
Needs 1t, Say Physicians

There's not enough PHOSPHORUS in
modern foods to benefit nearly one
half of the men and women of Amer
lea, scientists declare.
To overcome this lack of an ele-
nlent of your body that is necessary
to your health, your happiness and
even your success in life, weak, anea-
mic people are advised to take Bitro-
Phosphate as dispensed in leading
drug stores in the original package.
Speaking of people who are easily
fatigued. who lack ambition, nerve
and are ofttimes thin, weak, and sadly
lacking in firm, healthy flesh, Joseph
D. Harrigan, formerly Visiting Spe-
cialist, North Eastern Dispensary, N.
Y, says:
Patients who were apparently
physical wrecks who foolishly thought
they needed only blood tonic to en-
rich the blood, have come for treat
ment trembling and shaking, their
nerve force almost exhausted and in
many such cases the administering of
Bitro-Phosphate has produced SEEM
ingly magical results.
People who feel the heat of sum-
mer, tire easily and often become ir-
ritable and depressed, will find Bitro-
Phosphate an inexpensive and helpful
friend.
Druggists report a wonderful in
crease in the demand from men and
women who are anxious to renew old
time ambition and who are making an
honest effort to become vigorous and
keen-minded with a power of endur-
ance that denotes almost perfect
health.
They ask for Bitro-Phosphate be-
cause they know they need an mex
pensive organic phosphate.

80 DENOMINATIONS
IN UNITED STATES
WILL JOIN FORCES
To Raise Vast Sum for Meeting
the Situation at Home
and Abroad

Welfare work among the million and
half migrant workers in the United
States, men and women whose live
lihood Is won by temporary work al
seasonal Jobs, has been given a dis.
tinctive name by the Interchurch
World Movement, now making sur,
veys of this migratory army, in the
designation white Cross Service"
The Interchurch Movement is max.
ing intensive studies of the army Of
a quarter Of q million harvest hands
who work their way annually from
Texas to the Canadian border; the
army OF lumberjacks and loggers in
this country; the sheep shearers Of
the Rocky Mountains; the 10000 men,
women and children who work each
| spring and summer in the fruit and
vegetable cannery industries in Della
! ware, Maryland. New Jersey and
New York, and the homeless, vote
less men engaged in railroad con
struction and similar occupations be-
yond the pale of civilization.
This welfare service is based up
on actual needs, discovered through
the surveys Of the Interchurch
World Movement, the basis for the
Forthcoming drive for $336,777 ,572,
April rs to May 2, when thirty of the
strongest denominations in the Unit
ed States will join forces in an en-
deavor to raise this vast sum for
meeting the situation at home and
abroad. The expenses Of the White
Cross Service will be met out of
this great general 1920 fund
The name White Cross Service
was agreed upon at meeting this
week of the National Board of Re-
view, composed of official representa-
tives Of the thirty UNCONVENTIONAL
boards cooperating in the Inter.
church World Movement. Other
names were suggested to describe
this welfare work which will consist
of the establishment of camps here
and there throughout the country to
bring a bit of home life into the
lives Of these workers and serve
them much in the same manner that
the War Camp Communities func-
toned, but White Cross Service was
felt to best describe the aims and
ideals Of the Interchurch World
Movement
In the harvest fields of the middle
west, the Interchurch welfare work
will be known as the White Cross
Harvest Service and in the cannery
sections the work will be known as
the White Cross Cannery Service
Similarly, as further ramif1cations of
the work are agreed upon, the White
Cross Service will be carried to other
parts of the country where the mi
grant worker passes and repasses
year by year.
