DIVIDED FOOD WITH INDIANS
What
is a
The Branch House is the place in
the packing organization where what
the packing plant does for you is put
where you can use it.
Both are the natural result of
growth and development in the living
thing they belong to.
Swift & Company Branch Houses
are located in distributing centers all
over the country. They are fitted
out with refrigerating equipment to
keep meat cool, sweet and fresh.
Each one is in personal charge of a
man who believes in what Swift &
Company is doing for people and
wants to help do it.
They are directed by men who
have spent years learning how to get
better meat cheaper to the places
where it is needed.
Meat is shipped to the branch
houses direct from the packing plant's
in Swift & Company's refrigerator
cars, in such quantities that it can be
disposed of while fresh and sweet.
Your meat dealer comes here to
buy your meat for you—unless some-
one else can treat him better then
we can.
So you need the branch house in
order to live well; and the branch
house and the packing plant need
each other,in order to be useful to you.

Successful Portable Kitchen.
A portable kitchen was used with
miccess in Wilmington, Del., to tench
the children how to conserve food. It
was transported from school to school
as the work required. An exhibition
was given of the flv varieties of Lib-
erty bread that the children made
from conservation recipes in the prize
contest conducted by the woman's
committee of the state.
Practical View.
"I am so obsessed with my love for
you," wrote the sweet young thing to
her soldier, "that I cannot eat a bite."
"That is the kind of girlie for me."
said the rookie; "with the price of eats
bavin* a blue sky limit, I could just
about support a wife who didn't eat."
—Florida Times-Union.
Even if a woman is self-made she
wants people to think she is tailor
made.

Splendid Spirit of Self-Sacrlflc*
Shown by Party of White Trav-
elers in the Far North.
The day of adventure, romance and
sentiment in the wilds, is recalled by
the arrival at Quebec a couple of days
ago of two men and a woman, the
wife of tine of the men, after a iHM>-
mile drive by dog sledge across l!n-
gava in 50 days. When the party ar-
rived at the first outpost on the brim
of civilization the first act was to re-
plenish food supplies which were com-
pletely exhausted, and all hands with
an appetite. Then the trio pushed for-
ward again after the first meal in al-
most a month, because halfway across
the white wastes the party discovered
ten Indian families slowly starving,
with no one to go for food and no
one to bring any to them.
The sledge party was provisioned to
the ounce for its trip of almost two
months but could not leave without
doing something—although pitifully
little—for tlie starving Indians. An-
other careful calculation was made
and each of the three consented to
live on the least possible ration and
take a chance on accident or loss of
supplies by storm or other means. All
except what the party believed would
sustain life against the cold was left
with the Indians and when the trav-
elers reached the first outpost they
had been some time without food and
were strenuously hungry. The food
supply of the dogs could not be re-
duced, as the only hope of safety for
the party was in the "huskies," so the
humans ate practically nothing while
the dogs got their regular allowance.
The story of the long drives across the
northern snow fields is familiar in
modern fiction but occasionally a nar-
rative of fact as in this case presents
reading that maintains the essence of
adventure and romance quite as well.
The spirit that surrenders food to
starving savages or barbarians, mid-
way of a 900-miles journey over end-
less snow with no surer guarantee of
safety than the willingness of a team
of dogs Is that which underlies the
world struggle in Europe.
LEMON JUICE

Your grocer lias the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply

few cents. Massage this sweetly fra-
grant lotion into the face, neck, arms
and hands each day and see how freck-

00 WORK AT HIGH PRESSURE
Homes of the Old Man.
"If women keep on Inking np the
essential work once performed by
men," remarked n quiet observer j
"what a grand loafing spell father and j
j some of his sons are going to have |
after tin* war. The dressmakers and
school teachers' husbands used to have
j a monopoly on that sort of thing, but
now we will have the steam riveters,
eonductorettos, truck drivers and
I chauffeurs' husbands. It begins to
I look as if tho old man Is coming into
1 Ids own at last."
Duties of War Correspondents at the
Front Are in the Highest De-
gree Exacting.
Here are the conditions under which
a war correspondent has to work:
A great attack is pending and in
the black night the war correspond-
ent journeys forth from S. H. Q. by
car to some vantage point, from which
he sees what he can of the uction—
and, even were visibility perfect, un-
der conditions of modern war he could
only hope to witness a tiny corner of
the battle—picks up what facts he can
at brigade, divisional, corps or army
headquarters, and from the "walking
wounded," who begin to stream down
from the front within an hour of
"zero," studies his maps, and makes
his notes. Morning papers go to press
early these days. So in the early aft-
ernoon he is whirled homeward, maybe
through shell lire, ti ft y. sixty or sev-
enty miles, and then only, at the end
of a long, exhausting day, his work
proper begins. 11> must sit down and
write promptly a clear and comprehen
give account of the day's doings,
graphic, if possible, as complete as
may be, yet containing nothing that in-
fringes on censorship rules. It Is a
task demanding the utmost concentra-
tion from a mind and body already
fatigued.

Failure.
First German Officer—Then you
think our seventy-five mile gun is a
failure?
S#cond German Officer—Emphatic-
ally. A Zeppelin will kill twice as
many women and children at half the
expense.—Life.
Remember.
When the war is over, no excuse will
go.
Either you were in It or you were
aot.
Either you shouldered your gun,
served in the trenches or the navy, or
the Young Men's Christian association,
the Red Cross or in some place where
the door was opened, or else you did
nothing.
If you could not yet serve, you could
send your boys with a Godspeed, as
they marched out to the front. To
hold them back stamped them as slack-
ers.
Either you strained your resources
to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot
your obligation to those who fought
and died for your flag.
Disqualification for active service is
no justification for forgetting the boys
behind the guns who sacrificed all
thought of gain and were willing to
sacrifice their lives at their country's
call.
The war will be fought to the bitter
end. The llun will be crushed. Peace
will come. The flag will fly and free-
dom will win. If you do your part,
however small, you will share in the
glory. If you fail to do your little bit,
nothing but remorse will be in store
for you.—Leslie's.

The Warhorse and the Miller.
Those who delight in reading about
patrioteers of today should enjoy this
fable of Ambrose Rierce, written 20
years ago:
Having heard that tho state was
about to be Invaded by a hostile army
a Warhorse belonging to a Colonel of
Militia offered his services to a pass-
ing Miller.
"No," said the patriotic Miller, "I
will employ no one who deserts his
position in the hour of danger. It is
sweet to die for one's country."
Something in the sentiment sounded
familiar, nnd, looking at the Miller
more closely, the Warhorse recognized
his master In disguise.

Better Ports in Europe.
The beautiful harbor of Naples is to
be much improved by the extension of
docks and a general broadening of its
Immense natural capacity. More than
one French port has been raised from
minor usefulness to first-rate impor-
tance. Even Bordeaux has profited
greatly. And all these immense new
utilities will remain as a monument,
in part at least, to American engineer-
ing efficiency and a liberal use of
American money. We shall get full
value from them all, and it is pleas-
ant to think that they will also be-
come a lasting benefit to our friends.
Our own home ports, both Atlantic
and Pacific, have already felt the stim-
ulus, and will continue to grow under
it. New York must inevitably be the
greatest shipping point of all the
world without exception, as time goes
on. And the enormous new American
tonnage now being launched will not
go into the scrap-heap when peace
comes.—Christian Herald.
Vegetable Seed Survey.
Total production of vegetable seed,
with the exception of cabbage, lettuce,
salsify, and turnip, will be ample for
the needs of the coming year, ac-
cording to the preliminary returns
from the seed-production survey of
July 1, 1918, and crop reports from
important commercial seed growers.
In some cases where the condition of
crops is not satisfactory increased
acreages are expected to firing the
total production up to normal, while
more than normal production of seed
is indicated for some kinds of vege-
tables. This condition, it Is pointed
out, does not necessarily mean a large
surplus, for it is known that large
orders have been placed for certain
vegetable seeds by foreign concerns
for export to countries in Europe
which formerly have been exporters
of these seeds to the United States.
Shocking.
"The hoard of censors threatens to
close up the place."
"What's wrong?"

sweetheart, the film stopped und held

Honest Advertising.
'HIS is a topic we all hear now-a-days because so many people aro inclined to ex-
aggerate. Yet has any physician told you that we claimed unreasonable remedial
properties for Fletcher's Castoria? Just ask them. We won't answer it ourselves,
we know what the answer will be.
That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to
be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our
assurance that its standard will be maintained.
Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Castoria that
Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly
advertised, Honestly placed before the public and from which he Honestly expects to
receive his reward.
