Let us drive home to you
the fact that no washwo-
man can wash clothes in
as sanitary a manner as
that in which the work is
done at our laundry.
We use much more water,
change the water many
more times, use purer and
more costly soap, and keep
all the clothes in constant
motion during the entire
process.
It is simply a matter of having
proper facilities.

WHEATLESS DIET
NOT INJURIOUS
cam emm—
Howard Heinz, State Food Ad-
" ministrator, So Assures
People of Pennsylvania.
Wheat can be cut out entirely from
the diet without injury to health, This
assurance is given to the people. of
‘Pennsylvania by Howard Heinz, Fed-
eral Food Administrator for the state.
He said:
“I make this assertion without re-
servation, on the authority of the most
‘eminent scientists in America, who
have investigated the question most
‘thoroughly. They conducted their in-
vestigation recently at the request of
‘Herbert Hoover, U. S. Food Adminis-
.trator. The Board of Inquiry was
composed of such uzey as Dr. R. H.
Chittenden, Professor of Physiological
Chemistry, Dean of the Sheffield Scien-
tific School at Yale; Dr. Graham Lusk,
‘Professor of Physiology at Cornell;
Dr. E. V. McCollum, Professor of Bio-
Chemistry at John Hopkins; C. L. Als-
berg, Chief of the Bureau of Chemis-
try of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture; Dr. F. C. Langwerthy, Chief
of the Home Economics Division, State
Extention Service, Department of Agri-
culture; Dr. Alonzo F, Tayler, Profes-
sor of Physiological Chemistry at .the
‘University of Pennsylvania. The other
members of the board are men of equal
prominence in scientific achievement.
No group of higher physical authority
could be assembled in America. To
‘them was put this question: ‘To what
extent can wheat to which we are now
accustomed in our diet be reduced
without injury to thie health of the
individuals of the nation? Their ans-
wer ‘was: ‘It is the scientific opinion
of the committee that in a mixed diet
wheat may be entirely replaced, with-
out harm, by other availiable cereals,
namely, rice, barley, corn and oats.’
“It is only because of the great na-
tional and international emergency
which exists that the Food Administra-
tion makes use of this deliberate judg-
ment of the physiological experts call-
ed in for advice. It is recognized that
because of economic and commercial
reasons not all of the people of the
country can go without bread based on
‘wheat, but it is certain that a great
many people can do so easily, and it
is my belief that most of the people
in this country who can dispense en-
‘tirely with wheat from now until the
‘next harvest ought to do so, for the
sake of maintaining the wheat bread
supply for the armies and civiliaus of
our fighting associates in Europe, as
well as for our own soldiers in
France.” $

MOVEMENT TO SAVE
THRESHING WASTE
—
Assistance fo Farmers in Har-
vest Time Piannad by
the Government,
—
A project to mabilize America’s
threshermen to save miiiians of pounds
of wheat, now lost by inefficient
threshing practices, is announced by
Howard Heinz, U. S. Food Adminis-
trator for Pennsylvania.
To do this, a special Grain Thresh-
ing Division las been created as a
part of the Food Administration Grain
Corporation in Washington, with Cap-
tain Kenneth D. Hequembourg, U. S.
R,, at its head. Captain Hequembourg
is actively engaged in wheat produec-
tion in Oklahoma, and for some years
has had first-hand experience in
threshing operations. The Grain
Threshing Division will have national
headquarters at the oflice of the U. S.
Food Administration Grain Corpora-
tion, 42 Broadway, New York City.
It is-estimated that from one to ten
per cent of the wheat crop is lost to
the country by burried and careless
operation and inefiiciency of threshing
machines. In some instances, how-
ever, losses are materially greater
than in others. Waste in threshing
depends largely upon the condition of
the machine as it enters the harvest
Geld and the care with which it is
operated,
It is estimated that a total of three
and one-quarter bushels in every hun-
dred threshed may be saved,
Threshermen’s assistants will be lo-
cuted in each state to co-operate with
threshermen requiring expert help.
The threshermen’s assistants will be
calied upon by County Threshing Com-
mittees whenever needed. Their duty
will be to advise in overhauling the
machines, to assist in acquiring expert
labor, to supervise repair jobs when
the owner so desires and the time per-
mits. The County Threshing Commit-
tees will be composed of the County
‘ood Administrator, the County Agri-
cultural Agent, and a retired thresher-
man representing the state or local
Council of the National Defense.
CLEAN YOUR FARM TOOLS
Necessity Exists Now For Strictest
Conservation of Machinery.
M. T. Phillips, one of the farmers’
representatives in the U. S, Food Ad-
ministration for Penusylvania, sug-
gests to farmers of the state the ad-
viability of a special care this year
in the matter of farm machinery in
view of the seriousness of the manu-
facturing situation and the scarcity of
materials. Mr. Phillips said:
“The present high cost of all farm
machinery and repairs of all kinds
makes it most essential that every
care should be exercised in keeping in
order all machinery, tools, ete., used
on the farms.
“ It takes but little time to rub off
the dirt and rub some oil on the har-
ness, at least a few times during the
| vear. This will preserve the leather
that is so expensive and necessary
just now.
*Clean up the machinery and tools
and see that they are repaired when
put away, and if kept under cover
when not in use, they will be ready to
go to work when next needed.
“We farmers are justly criticized
for the extravagant waste caused by
| the unnecessary exposure and lack of
| care of our machinery.
“This is surely a very necessary way
ju conserve in these serious times.”

So shriveled in soul is the
HUN
infamous Hun
Who fiendishly gloats o’er humanities blood,
And perpetrates crimes that are ghastly and foul,
Too low for the most savage beasts to commit.
The stricken and helpless he butchers alive
With develish torture in a thousand ways,
He mutilates, murders, or
burns them to death.
The lust of the beast and the brute prevails.
The children, the aged, and the wounded must die,
The angels of mercy must
yield to their lust
To die or be maimed in the German made Hell,
And yet must the murder and carnage go on.
The bestial savage and murderous knave
Has sunken so far from humanities pale
Beneath the mad fury of ravening beasts,
We brand him for ever—THE MURDEROUS HUN.
The world has grown sick
at the work of the fiend
And gathers its strength to avenge the foul crime,
The infamous brute from
The penalty full for his d
Justice must get
astardly deeds.
The odium covers this foe of mankind,
The future will bury him deep in contempt,
And Hell in its fury is waiting some where
To gulp down the butchering fiend of the world.
