cakes, using left overs as a foun-

on the right kind of foods to be

of uses of more vegetables and
fruit, and less meat in the diet.
We are always glad when the

tlon on orchard work.
Now is a good time to start a
permanent pasture. Bermuda
grass put out now will give some
grazing this season. This grass
can be put out any month in the
year using roots from old Der.
muda sod. Using seed gives
very poor results. This should
be supplemented with other
grasses and clovers. On clay
soils Lespedeza and Sweet is
especially recommended. The
County Agent will be glad to
help any farmer in starting a
good pasture.
Any boy or girl wishing to
join the club work may send in
their names to the County Agent
or Home Demonstration Agent
and their names will be added to
the list. Do this at once as the
list will be sent to Raleigh within
a few days.

RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL

Denver, Colo, May 1O.-A new
method of disposing of gambling ap-
paratus seized by police in raids on
gambling houses throughout the city
was put into effect Monday by Chief
of Police Armstrong when he turned
over to. Captain Thomas Wesley Pipes,
commandant of the Salvation Army :
Industrial Home at 1922 Larimer st.
number of chairs And tables. These
chairs and tables would otherwise have
been destroyed. Some of them Will be
used in the reading and reception room
at the new Salvation Army Home
Service building on Curtis st. and
others, after being repaired at the in
dustrial home, will be given to poor
people who continually throng the
store room of the industrial home look
ing for articles of clothing and furni-
ture that are sold at nominal prices.
Chief of Police Armstrong stimated
that many thousands of dollars had
changed hands over the games which
were played on the tables. Now in
| stead of frenzied gamblers beseechins
little dick' to show up on the face
of the bones, or of calling anxious
ly on the ivory cubes to bring "baby
pair of Shoes careworn mothers
and hard working fathers will gather
round the tables or soldiers on leave
and farm laborers in the city for d
spell will read or write their letters
spread out on the polished oak tops
The furniture was seized in the series
of raids last week when lbs men were
charged with gambling.
Lieutenant Colonel John w. Cousins,
local officer of the Salvation Army i'm
medately on learning of the raid and
the seizure of the furniture asked
Chief Armstrong to let him have the
tables and chairs instead of destroying
| them, as has been the custom follow
ing previous raids.
Some of the tables had been smash
ed when the police had to batter down
the doors guarding the gambling
houses. These, however will be pat in
serviceable condition by the carpenters
and joiners who live at the Industrial
Home.
Supplying furniture to poor families
free of charge or at price which jus.
covers the cost of repairing is only one
of the many methods which the Salyas
tion Army uses in following out its
1920 slogan of "To the Rescue; now
let us help our own" Extension of
this service is one of the main feot-
ures of the home service program Of
the Salvation Army.
A general campaign is now on to
supply funds for this laudable program
and public citizens everywhere are be-
ing asked to contribute to this most
worthy cause.
