Cities Are Living Beyond Their Incomes By Associated Press New York, June 26. —American municipalities have been living be yond their incomes according to a preliminary census bureau report for the fiscal year 1916, made public to-day, which shows that the aver age per capita indebtedness for 213 cities is $74.64, a figure nearly eight times as great as the corresponding tlgure for the national government. The excess of expenditures over rev enues in these cities amounted to $73,591,070, or $2.28 per capita. One of the most noteworthy fea tures of the report Is the rapid growth of the urban at the expense of the rural communities. Wartime conditions have increased the de mand for workers in the cities, espe cially in munitions centers, and con sequently there has been a great exodus from the country districts with a proportionate increase in the populations of the cities. APPEAL TO HOOVER By Associated Press Washington, June 26.—Represent atives of the dairy, eggs and poultry interests of the East and Middle West, in conference here to-day with Herbert C.

LIGHT-HEARTED WOMEN A. cheerful, light-hearted woman is the joy of a man's life. Beauty I will fade, a good figure will change, but the charm of health and cheer fulness will endure to the end.

Pinkhams' Vegetable Compound is the standard remedy for such ailments. During the last 40 years thousands of homes have been made happy by this woman's great remedy for woman's ills.— Adv.

' Discontent of Stomach to Be Learned in War By Associated Press London, June 26.—"Discontent of the stomach is mora to be feared than discontent of the brain—that is why wo value the co-operation of American farmers." This statement was made by R. E. Prothero, Minister of Agriculture, to the Associated Press to-day. "The outcome of the war," said Mr. Proth ero, "may ultimately hang on the question of food supplies, and the i American farmer is allotted the es sential part to play in the great I struggle for freedom." 0 Selection and Preservation of Foods JjMFTEEN or twenty years ago the scientist who devoted any time to house . hold subjects was really considered not just altogether right. But now we have learned a lot about bac teriology, thanks to the scientist, and every housewife should know more about this sub ject than she does. Perishable food products should be kept under refrigeration at all times if they are not to spoil. Bacteria, like our bodies de mand food; they thrive in moisture and high temperatures, but do not thrive when food stuffs are held under refrigeration. False Economy to Do Without Ice. It is false economy for the housewife to figure on getting along without ice. The correct handling of perishable foodstuffs in the home require that they be placed immediately in a well-iced refriger ator . . Meat, for example, is kept in cold storage in the meat market, when brought into higher temper ature the water comes out of it and the first thing you know the meat spoils. Fruits which have been shipped from the South, comes out of cold storage and if kept in a high tem perature in the home soon spoils, if not safeguarded with ice. Isn't it economy to keep the butter in the refriger ator and have it come to the table fresh, sweet and hard, rather than in a half oily form? Alspure Ice is the cheapest thing you can buy* for the value given. At a small daily .cost you de rive benefits worth many times the actual expense. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowden Sts.
