Mrs. Housewife:—
Is there any difference
between skimmed milk
and rich cream?
There is just as much
difference between
flours. ACME FLOUR
is made from the very
“Cream of the Wheat.”
Try a sack of ACME
today and notice the
RICH taste it gives your
bread.

Problems relative to the care of
disabled and tubercular soldiers will
be discussed at a special meeting of
the State Public Health Conference
October 11 and 12 to be held ir.
Oklahoma City under the joint aus-
pices of the Oklahoma Public Health
Association and the State Health De-
partment.
H. B. Fell, chairman of the state
soldier relief commission, will give
the soldier’s side of the post-war
problems; Col. Hugh Scott an official
of the Veterans’ Bureau in Washing-
ton, will give the government side
and Dr Charles J. Hatfield, manag-
ing director of the National Tuber-
culosis Association will present or-
ganized health effort’s phases. All
legion posts in the state are expect-
ed to send representatives to the
meeting in order to broaden the
scope of the discussion. The Red
Cross and other relief organizations
in the state will send special ac-
credited delegates to the Conference.
The soldier health presents a try-
ing problem to the health worker and
the government according to. Jules
Schevitz, general secretary of the
Oklahoma Public Health Association.
The two chief problems are lack of
understanding among the soldiers
themselves and the lack of sufficient
and experienced medical personnel,
to overcome these hindrances and to
hasten relief work among soldiers in
Oklahoma, the conference will de-
vote a large part of its time, Schevitz
said.
The conference is the annual
gathering of workers in the fight for
j better health in the state. Repre-
sentatives of all health organiza-
tions and civic clubs, county and
city health officers, public health and
registered nurses, nublie officials and
managers of the big =tate industries
are to be present. Speakers of Na-
tional importance will be on the pro-
gram.
