I. her poor brain to think of a chatty bit of news about which to write. Her mind skipped all about our town and then away it went over hill and dale and away across the sea until it settled on one of Our own Omaha girls, Miss Elizabeth Stewart, who is doing her part in far-away France. Miss Stewart is librarian in the Young Men's Christian association in Paris and her letters to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Sttwart, are most interesting. There Are no sweets to be had in Paris and very little butter, eggs are plentiful; put white bread, of course, is a luxury unknown. Miss Stewart often goes to the out-lying "Y." huts to take part in the entertainments given for the boys. She says there is nothing they enjoy so much as "sing," and they arrange these evenings as often as possible for the boys. " .In one of her trips outside Paris the Omaha girl visited an old fort built in4 1870 and the only One left standing after the Franco-Prussian war. It is being used now by some of our American soldiers and here Miss Stewart met Ellsworth Wood, an Omaha boy, who has been in France for 4juite a little time. Although the two young people did not know each other in Omaha, ydu can imagine their delight when they discovered that they claimed the .same home town. The young soldier told her that he had not seen a girl for seven months. Can anyone imagine a more desperate situation? ' ." Miss Stewart expected to do canteen work in the "Y." huts when she left the United States, but. when they discovered her abilities as a librarian, they immediately placed her in charge of the library in Paris. Miss Stewart worked 'for a number of years in the Omaha public library. She writes glowing ac counts Of the fascination of her work, but as her parents have not heard from her since March 9, they are waiting anxiously for news of her safety in these perilous days in the French capital.

It is de sirable, but not necessary, to have yards. Many flocks of hens are kept confined the year round, and yet lay well. It is important, though, that their houses be large enough to give each hen four square feet of floor space, and that the fronts of the, houses be partly open, so that there will be no lack of fresh air. It is de sirable, too, to have the houses shaded in the middle of theiday. i Private Peat Tells .

Douglas 409 , Alamito Dairy' Company Council Bluffs No. 203 Educational and Welfare Work ; That Benefits YOU WITH the Food Administration calling upon producers to raise more foods and upon consumers to eat less, it is in keeping that Armour should aid growers to increase' their outputs and educate users to employ the sup ply most advantageously. FOR, as the American farmer's biggest customer and the greatest purveyor of pure food products to the housewives of the nation, to render service in both directions is a part of the Armour" policy and has been for years. Doing so has proved to be good business. Greater Supply Better Used THE Armour Bureau of Agriculture is continually working with the farmers on such problems as better breeding, disease-preventing serums, scientific feeding and many other factors to increase pro ducer's qualities and revenue. The stimulation of clubs for boys on the farm, the proper use of fertilizer to bring about increased productivity through added pasturage, cheaper feeding, and the development of by-products from the cereal end of the business for cattle feeds are all properly a part of this work. Again, through the Armour Domestic Science Di vision, housewives are being shown greater effi ciency in the use of foods. With staffs of lecturers covering the country, booklets, standardized recipes, special analytical articles for magazines and news papers and a daily flood of correspondence with women in every State, Armour is giving real aid to the prevention of waste in the kitchen and to assur ing better balanced, more nutritious meals on the national table. And to both consumer and producer, such service is offered without charge simply as a part of Ar mour's efforts to bring grower and user closer to gether. V Nor is the Armour organization itself forgotten Through Welfare Work which embraces, all the ordinary activities of its kind in regard to the health and comfort of employees, and by means of the plan of "Hiring and Fitting" instead of the old way of "Hiring and Firing," the labor investment is mini-i mized and cost of handling foods reduced, thereby' aiding in keeping down the price. Aids Food Conservation WHILE it is true that to do business thus on a broad, public-spirited scale demands a con siderable initial investment and very definite upkeep charges, nevertheless, the value of the benefits to the country, as well as Armour, is incalculable. For, today, the results of years of this work are showing as a real assistance in the now necessary food con servation. When you think over this work which though done in self-interest, assures you full supply and constant value, you must realize why it is to your own ad- ; vantage to always ask for Armour Products. frmours PRODUCTS, AMMO UK w Ml F CHICAGO a !
