LESSON III
Ruth Plumly Thompson in the Public
Ledger.
Stimulants! Oh! I know—it’s a
dreadfully long word, but it just
means something that will make the
blood hurry along, so it can warm up
the body. That’s easy to remember,
isn’t it? :
You see, sometimes when an acci-
dent happens the person who is hurt
gets so scared that his heart almost
stops beating (pumping, I mean).
Then he gets cold and you must give
him a “stimulant” to start the pump
working again. Heat of any kind is
the best, so hot tea or coffee or one-
half teaspoonful of AROMATIC Spir-
its of ammonia (NOT plain ammonia
that’s a poison) in a half glassful of
hot water will be fine. If he is still
cold hot-water bags against the legs
and under the arms will help. Pity
sakes, don’t get them too hot, though
—try them against your face first to
see that they are not going to burn
the skin off. ’Course, I don’t have to
tell you again that if the person has
fainted or is unconscious not to give
him anything to drink, because he
might choke. Smelling salts or wa-
ter of ammonia or strong peppermint
held under the nose as the stimulant
to use then. Rub his hands and feet.
And now, honeys, run off and see if
you can find the aromatic spirits of
ammonia. Keep it where you can al-
ways find it, for that is the best
“stimulant” you could possibly use.
Food Administration Rulings.
MEAT.
The Food Administration is ex-
tremely desirous of securing economy
in consumption of all kinds of meats
without re-installation of meatless
day for the present. :
Seasonal decline in volume of ani-
mals coming to market is now in
progress and its volume will undoubt-
edly further decrease during the next
few months as is usual, but the prob-
able amount of such decrease is yet
obscure.
The necessities for shipment abroad
to our army and allies are very large
and amount roughly to 75,000,000
pounds of meat and meat products of
all kinds, per week, against pre-war
normal of less than 15,000,000 pounds.
Our consumption of meats is about
3% pounds per week, per person, and
if we are to make both ends balance
during short ‘marketing season, we
must have further economy.
If the public will continue in rigor-
ous elimination of waste and will fur- |}
ther economize by reducing quantity
prepared for each meal, of all kinds
of meats and poultry (more particu-
larly beef) and will restrict their
purchases accordingly, the Food Ad-
ministration hopes that the necessary
balance can be maintained.
A general adherence to these rec-
ommendations will avoid the incon-
venience which arises in many direc-
tions from meatless days and will
cause less interference in daily prep-
aration of food.
There is now a seasonal abundance
of milk products which can well be
substituted in various forms.
SAVE SUGAR.
If we are to successfully meet the
heavy sugar demand of the fruit pre-
serving season, we must at this time
begin to accumulate a surplus in the
hands of the trade which we cannot
do if consumers purchase and use
sugar freely. Grocers are according -
ly forbidden to sell sugar in quanti-
ties greater than two to five pounds
to town trade or five to ten pounds to
rural trade and any violation of this
rule by any grocer regardless of the
amount he may have on hand will in-
vite drastic retributive action by the
Food Administration. As a sugar
conservation measure, the service in
public eating places of sherbets and
water ices and their commercial man-
ufacture is strictly forbidden. The
public must understand that the su-
gar shortage is real and acute and it
1s Imperative that family consump-
tion for ordinary use be kept down to
at least twenty per cent. below nor-
mal, for only in this way can we take
care of home preserving require-
ments.
WEEKLY INVENTORY OF BAKERY
STOCKS.
Beginning May 4, all licensed bak-
ers will be required to take an inven-
tory each Saturday of their stocks of
flour, substitutes, sugar and shorten-
ing and, beginning May 11, to make
a weekly report of stock on hand,
purchases, sales and amounts used in
baking.
The office of the Baking Division at
Washington advise that report forms
and instructions have been mailed to
bakers from that office but, in order
to avoid. any misunderstanding, I now
notify all the bakers in this district
to make a complete inventory of their
stocks of materials listed on report
. forms and that they will be requqired
to keep a record of their receipts and
sales of these materials, and of the
quantity of these materials used in
their porducts during the week fol-
lowing May 4. They must also keep
a record of the number of pounds of
bread and rolls baked in that week.

The report of sales made during the
week ending April 27th, 1918, for
Centre county in the War Savings
campaign was 3lc, or a total of $3.47
since December 1, 1917. We retain
ninth place in the list of counties for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Liberty Loan drive closed on
Saturday, May 4th, and from today
on, your Chairman sincerely hopes
that every patriotic citizen in our
county will enlist his or her best ef-
forts in making it possible for Centre
county to go “over the top” in the
sale of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps. We have an allotment of
$876,200. Mr. Charles M. McCurdy,
of the Liberty Loan committee, and
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Beach, chairman of
the Ladies’ committee have requested
all borough and township solicitors
to join in the War Savings campaign,
and to do their utmost to make
“Pledge Week” a success. Permit
me to impress upon every committee- 5
man and solicitor of the Liberty Bond
committee the absolute necessity of
the most hearty co-operation with the
several District chairmen of the Na-
tional War Savings committee in

county.
Very truly yours,

She Was Registered for War Duty.
The ladies, God bless ’em, were
talking in the humorously indulgent
way in which they usually tackle the
topic about their husbands and other
women’s husbands.
“John is perfectly helpless without
me,” said Mrs. A.
“Henry’s that way, too,” said Mrs.
B. “I don’t know what would become
of him if I'd leave him for a week.”
“Isn’t it the truth?” sighed Mus.
Purity Gives Power.
There are still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed with the
fact that the purer the blood is the great-
er is the power of the system to remove
disease and the less the liability to con-
tract it. Persons whose blood is in good
condition are much less likely to take cold
or to be long troubled with it, or to catch
any contagious or infectious disease, than
are those whose blood is impure and
therefore impoverished, and lacking in vi-
tality. The best medicine for purifying

child, the way I have to take care of
him. Why, whenever he is mending
his clothes, or sewing on buttons, or
even darning his socks, I always have
to thread the needle for him!’—Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
the blood is Hood's Sarsaparilla, and per-
sons suffering from any blood disease or
any want of tone in the system are urged
to give this medicine a trial. It is espe-
cially useful at this time of year.
