WASTE LESS; PRODUCE MORE.
How much are you doing in the
way of preparedness for the food
shortage and the general famine
which now confronts your country?
Are you going on eating choice
meats, rich pastry and fancy dishes
without counting the cost? Are
you still wasting enough to feed a
European? Are you indulging in
liquors made from grain that ought
to be turned into bread?
If you are a man, are you smok
ing up cigars, cigarettes and tobac
co whose cost should be saved?
If you are a woman, are you buying
quantities fripperies at outrageous
prices just because “they” are
wearing them?
Are you paying $6, $8 or $10
for fancy shoes just because the
makers are anxious to unload on
you? Are you living on credit and
spending twice as much as you
would if you paid cash? Are you
squandering money on chewing
gum, poor shows and "sweetened
wind" at soda fountains? Are you
eating candy costing 50 cents to
80 cents a pound?
Are you buying trash, to give to
friends as presents—things which
are. of no use to anybody and which
should never have been manu
factured? Are you planning ex
penditures which you can just as
well wait until the war crisit is
past?
If you aie doing these things, or
anything of the same sort, this is
the time to stand off and take a
realizing view of yourself and see
how you ban men d y0ur ways. Go
to work and de’.jberatety cut down
on all your luxuries. Adopt the
German ‘'err atz” plan; find a cheap
substitute for everything which is
costly a id scarce.
If prices are exorbitant, simply
go without:; so long as everybody
keeps buying at the same old rate,
and only grumbling, prices will
continue to climb and the supply
W’jl continue to decrease. We
must all 'economize, and it is better
to do it voluntarily than to have it
forced on us.
Every family and every able
bodied citizen, young or old. male
or female, should not only make it
a point to save wast wherever pos
sible but also to produce the ut
most quantity of all needed prod
ucts. Every vacant space within
reach should be placed under cul
ture.
And with it all. don't be afraid to
work. Don't go by the rule
of demanding the maximum and
giving the minimum. Do your ut
most, and do it cheerfully. A cer
tain amount of recreation is need
ed by us all. but much of the time
that has been wasted by our people
on sports and idle pursuits can be
and should be given now to useful,
productive activities.
Climatic conditions are against
us. and seeds, fertilizer and other
supplies are scarce and costly, but
work will to a large extent make
up for this. The German farmer
keeps his cabbage growing by hoe
ing them every day or two—weeds
or no weeds. Now that we are up
against the Germans, we must imi
tate their good qualities—their
thrift, industry, self-denial and pa
tience. for we shall need these in
large measures.

of that verse are really insulting to

Increase Poultry Production.
President Wilson in a recent
proclamation declared that one of
the three necessities for the suc
cessful conduct of the war is food,
and asserts that those who aid in
increasing the supply of whatever
kind are responding to the vital
needs of the nation.
The American Poultry associa
tion hopes to increase the nation’s
supply 100,000,000 pounds by en
couraging poultry raisers to keep
up the hatching during May and
June for meat production. Arkan
sas and the Southern states can do
even better than that by doing
some fall hatching.
On the farms, the production of
poultry can be greatly increased
without much extra cost. Poultry
consume bugs and insects which
usually reduce crops but have a
food value for the hen. Scattered
and wasted grains are consumed
and converted into a valuable
marketable product.
In the cities, people can easily
increase prodution by maintaining
a small flock of hens on the table
scraps, lawn clippings, garden
wasts and a little additional feed.
The housing need not be expen
sive. Eggs bid fair to sell at un
heard of high prices the coming
winter. Better prepare to have
your own fresh eggs bv keeping at
least a dozen hens in your back lot |
You will do well to store the sur- j
plus this summer for winter use. :
This can be done successfully by !
putting them up in Water Glass, i
Buy a pint of water glass solution
from your druggist and add to it:
nine pints of clean fresh water.
Put the eggs into this liquid in fruit
jars or earthen jars which can be
placed in a cool place. You will
buy no more cold storage eggs
once you have tried water glass.
Make conditions favorable for a
maximum production for the feed
consumed. Stop feeding lice and
other pests that decrease egg pro
duction and growth. Feed intelli
gently of the feeds necessary for
meat and egg production. This
does not mean feed sparingly.
You can not get something for
nothing, not even from the indus
trious hen.
Don't kill the laying hen, but
swat the dead-head rooster as soon
as the hatching season is over.
Take special pains to raise as many
of the chicks hatched as possible.
If you do these things you are a
Patriot. It takes ten people out
side the trenches to keep one or.
the firing line. If you are unable
to enlist, do your bit in the poultry
yard.

Wise and Otherwise.
“For that tired feeling take a
street ear.
Grown people tire of their own
toys just as children do.
Being a lucky animal, the cam
el never has to hump itself.
When a busy man has leisure
he always does some other kind
of work.
Some people spend a lot of
time in explaining things they
know nothing about.
By careful observation you
will notice that wealth brings
happiness—as often as poverty.
l’erhaps the reason a woman’s
work is never done is because
she employs a domestic to do it.
Political orators talk and talk,
but tile bright-faced girl on the
silver dollar isn’t saying a word.
To Lazy to Rest.
Mrs. Smith is one of those persons
who, conscious of her own virtues,
never loses an opportunity to disparage
herself. Chief among her virtues is
Industry.
"Surely, you must be tired, auntie."
said an admiring niece. "How can you
work so long without a rest?”
“Oh. my dear,” said Mrs. Smith,
humbly, “I think it is because when I
begin a piece of work I am too lazy
to stop.”
She Didn't Havd It.
There was a
timid knock at
the door.
"If you please,
kind lady,” the
beggar said, “I’ve
lost my left leg—”
“Well, it ain’t
her e,” retorted
the lady of the
house and
slummed the door.
Complicated Calculations.
“Has your husband quit work?”
“Yes. He has figured it out that he
can save more by staying home and
running the furnace economically
than he can earn by going down
town.”

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put togethi r. and for years it was sup
| posed to he Incurable. Doctors pre
1 scribed local remedies, and by eonstant
1 ly failing to cure with local treatment.
! pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
' | local disease, greatly influenced bycon
j stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's

' tutional remedy, is taken internally

Superstition and Bees.
Bees are connected with various
superstitions. It is considered unlucky
when an unclaimed swarm of bees set
tles on one’s premises. Bees are sup
j posed not to thrive if they are the
! subject of a quarrel. Perhaps the
most interesting superstition about
bees Is the custom of “telling the bees”
of a death in the family, in early
England, when a member of the fam
ily died, tlie bees were told of it and
invited to the funeral; sometimes a
piece of crape was put on the hive.
Tills custom has not died out entirely.

Ladder Which Can’t Slip.
A ladder which can be used with
equal facility on a sidehill or in the
home has been invented. It has two
additional legs or props, one at eaeli
side. This prevents the ladder from
slipping, and increases its strength.
When the ladder Is on a level surface
both extra legs are used, but when It
is used on a hill or on uneven ground
only the leg on the downhill side Is
necessary as the prop.
Generosity.
“What do you think of our friend
the efficiency expert?”
“He’s a wonder. He’s something like
a fortune teller I once knew. He
could make a colossal fortune on his
owe account if he were not so gen
erous about selling precious informa
tion at nominal fees.”
