Persons in charge of the Service
Men's Club are anxious to keep
cookies and sweet snacks at the
center at all times and women who
will volunteer to bake for the ser-
vice men are asked to telephone
Mrs. Shirley Draper or Mrs. J. H.
Caperton.
The following suggestions arc
given for those who would like to
prepare something for Uncle Sam s
men:
1. Ground, dried raisins, apricots,
prunes and nuts softened with lem-
on Juice may be formed into balls
and dipped into brottn sugar. This
makes an excellent candy substi-
tute.
2. Whole wheat fruit cake, soy-
bean nut bread, graham muffins,
oatmeal oookles and peanut butter
cookies are satisfying.
3. Molasses, sorghum and maple
syrup are good sources of iron. Com
syrup and brown sugar also contain
some iron and may advantageously
be used as substitutes for granu-
lated sugar.
The number of men and boys
taking advantage of the club re-
cently opened on West Second
Street is increasing daily, Clayton
Henre and Miss Nell Adams declare,
with many guests being registered
i each week-end.

Food Preservation—
(Contftlued from Page 1)
many months. This is a better
method than canning for these par-
ticular vegetables.
Those women who are fortunate
enough to have a freezer locker
were particularly interested in the
demonstration given by the Davis
Home Demonstration Club. They
learned that most vegetables will
remain in the freezer locker In a
better condition over a long period
of time If packed In a 2% salt solu-
tion.
The economy of home canned
pine apple was learned from the
Pakan Home Demonstration Club.
They exhibited sliced, diced, and
crushed pineapple and pineapple
juice. The members explained that
less food value was lost by canning
this fruit in a water bath instead
of the pressure cooker.
Many peqple were surprised to
learn that beans and other vege-
tables might be preserved by brin
ing. The Pakan club members told
the guests that beans could be
brined by using 3 V. cups of salt to
m gallons of water and pouring
over the bfans which have been
placed in a stone crock. After this
the beans are cared for very similar
to sauerkraut.
The Victory Home Demonstration
Club told the guests to make sauer-
kraut like their grandmothers made
it rather than packing it in jars
and pouring boiling water over it.
This latter method is not sauer-
kraut but is nothing more than
soured cabbage and often causes
illness. They recommended cutting
the cat-big" dlwtly into a stone
crock and adding lour ounces of salt
to each five pounds of cabbage and
working and packing this down.
Last of all, add cheese cloth and
a weight and allow to ferment for
10 to 21 days. They warned the
group to be very careful to remove
the scum each day so as to prevent
any off flavors and the kraut spoil-
ing.

HEALTH OF OUR CITY
COMES FIRST
i
City Swimming Pool
Has Been Closed
Acting on the Recommendation of City Health Officer B. A. Zeigler, the City
Council voted last night to Close the City Pool to Guard Against Pos*
sible Contamination of the Water. We Wish to Emphasize this
is Purely a Precautionary Move as Every Effort Has
Been Made to Keep the Pool Sanitary in
Every Respect.
If In Doubt
Stay At Home,
Requests ODT
The Office of Derense Transpor-
tation this week supplemented its
repeated request to the public to
stop unnecessary trips by train or
bus with a definition of essential
travel.
Essential travel, according to ODT
is tn general, travel on company
or government business, travel by
men and women in uniform and
travel in connection with personal
emergencies. If any person doubts
whether a trip Is actually necessary,
ODT says he can help win the war
by staying at home.
There is no secret about the rea-
sons why unessential travel should
be stopped. ODT flatly states that
trains and buses .from now until
November will be unable to accom-
modate both those who must travel
and those who merely want to tra-
vel. Essential travel cannot be as-
sured of space unless the non-essen-
tial Is eliminated.
More than 2,000,000 troops a
month are moved and the number
is increasing. Their destination is
victory. It is estimated that a sol- i
dler moves by train In organized
groups at least eight times from the i
time of his induction until he em-
barks for overseas. About an equal
number of men and women in the
armed sendees travel on furlough.
Some business travel is essential i
too, ODT points out. Men and wom-
I en working for the war in civilian
clothes have important decisions to
! make, They should not be forced to
j arrive at their destination weary
from standing in a crowded aisle all
' night or all day, when their jobs
require keen thinking and top pro-
ductivity.
Whether a personal emergency :
justifies travel under present cir-
cumstances mu3t be decided by
each Individual, ODT says, but if
there i s any doubt, the answer
should be no.

“P, ». B.” Useful in Ant Control
In response,to riumerous queries,
the Department of Agriculture ad-
vises the use of “P. D. B.” as a
fumigant for an! colonies in vic-
tory gardens or ‘ on home grounds.
P. D. B. is the popular abbrevia-
tion for the name of the chemical
naradicholobenzene. often used£ or
control of clothes moths. For control
-f most species of ants that ax’#
active in gardens, lawns, and on
trees and shrubs, relief depends on
exterminating the ai}t colony in the
