Rows of second hand books line the walls, all sorts of orna ments are distributed about. An ad dition which came too late for the sale Saturday is two van loads of fine fur niture, mahogany beds, and a hand some desk. This donation came from the O. E. Serle home. For the lover ,of antiques, the sal vage committee has a wonderful offer ing. It is the spinning wheel brought from Norway by Mrs. Chambers and presented by her to the Red Cross. She values the ornament at $100. Such great stacks of paper and old magazines are stored in the big back room that more than 200 calls are not able to be . answered by the t.-uck driver, because there is no room to store the paper until it is sorted, weighed and sold to the paper com pany. Every afternoon the services of city firemen have been accepted, and now the salvage work women are going to call the police. It's not that the firemen are disturbing the peace, which male the women call on the aid of the "coppers." its because they, need the latter for still more heavy work. . Standard and War Flour Under regulations of the food ad ministration all the flour mills in this country are making a grade of flour that uses much more of the wheat kernel than has been used in the .high grades of pure wheat flour to which the American housewife has long been accustomed. This action on the part of the millers has in creased the wheat suppply by making it go farther. It is estimated that fully 45,000,000 bushels of wheat have been saved in this way per month. "Government Standard" flour, as it is called, is still all-wheat flour. Home mixing must be resorted to in com plying with the administration's de sire to have us use barley flour, rye flour, and the like. Mechanical diffi culties are in the way of the miller, who would attempt to produce ready mixed flour, although in some few cases there are rye and wheat flour blends on the market. "War flour," as it is know in Europe, is far inferior to the "stand- - ard" flour of America. In Europe war flour is made by grinding from 80 to . 90, and even in extreme cases 100 per cent of the wheat ' berry into the flour. This includes bran and a good deal of the flinty, fibrous particles of the u-hiar On the occasion of the death re cently of Miss Estelle Biedenbach, the first woman member of the Pitts, ' burgh bar, the courts of that city adjourned out of respect to her memory. ' The National Soeiftv of the T)aueh ' tra M the Ammnn W mvnlntinn tiae s shown its patriotism during the last fWtDr collecting $1,409,550 for the Khaki-Mended Sweaters, Local Women's Work, Are Sent to, Capital "Knit and the world knits with you, dam and you darn alone," used to be a war slogan, but now darning is quite the thing. Rivalary runs high among women of the National League for Woman's Service, who have taken up mending for the soldiers as a work of patriotism. Such high scores are held by the darners and the patchers that the military men in charge of the reclama tion station in Omaha have asked permission to send samples of the work done in Omaha tc Washing ton to show the whole country just what can be done to khaki clothes when an expert mender , plys her needle. When the samples are sent, one of the articles will be a khaki wool sweater which was given to the league in a positively useless condition. The entire back and arms were peppered with holes, many as large as an inch square. It looked very much like the work of the southern crickets who may have made a feast with the khaki yarn, of which they are said to be very tond. Mrs. Thompson G. Travis took the garment and darned the holes until the sweater was made in perfect con dition. Another reclaimed sample is an O. D. shirt which had the button holes badly torn and several large rents in it. Gloves, underclothes and other apparel will be sent as examples to Washington. One thousand pounds of wool for the Red Cross knitters has been or dered for Omaha. A part of this ar rived Monday and weighs more than 250 pounds. A shipment will be made of sweat ers at the end of the week. All who are neanng the end of their work on these knitted articles are urged to hurry their stitches and finish in time for the shipment in order that as large a shipment as possible may be made. Red Cross Chairman No. 18 Flirting With Temptation By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. "Come on be a good sport take a chance," says Lucv But I really oughtn t to. I never work very well the next day if I've been up late at night," replies Helen. You 11 be a long time dead. Why don't you have a little fun while you are here?" insists Lucy. I oughtn t to I haven t the right kind of clothes." 'Oh, Helen, be game. I'll lend you a hat and the money for a new waist. We 11 have a lot of fun and suppose you don't work so well tomorrow." Mother wouldn t like me to go out with men I don't know, anyway." "Now, Mabel Hollins, they are my friends. Are you hinting I didn't meet them in the right way, or would go out with fellows that are not just what they ought to be. Don't come if you don't want to but you needn't go hurting my feelings about it." And Helen goes. If in the first place she had said, "No, Lucy, I can't," and had stuck to that simple statement, all would have been well. But she flirted with temptation and the results are a waist she could not afford to buy, a headache that inter feres with an important day's work and gives the manager of her office his first doubts about her efficiency both of these, and more. too. That one flirtation with temptation has given Helen a desire for more "good times" bought at the risk of health and efficiency, and ah equally dangerous desire for the sort of clothes she cannot afford and the so ciety of people who may amuse them selves with her, but who will never give her sincere, helpful or loyal friendship. It is easier to conquer the first temptation than to deal with all the others that grow out of it. It is never particularly hard to say, "No" to something which doesn't mean very much to you, since' you have never eried it. It is never very hardjo bend your energies in making up your mind and keeping it made up when you know that every possible advantage lies in firmness. But it is very, very hard to resist the Jure of going on with a habit once you have begun to form it. - The first drink, the first misdeed, the first extravagance, the first low ering of your own standard actually it is harder to yield to these tempta tions than to resist them. But fear of being laughed at and sheer mental laziness keep folks from the firmness refusal requires. They yield not to any desire for the thing to which they "sell out," but simply and solely because "it is easier to give in than to fight against temptation." The only practical way to deal with temptation is to slam the. door in its face; to say firmly, once and for all, "No." The minute you open the door a chink temptation starts to edge, her way in, and the minute she gets' the tiniest footing on your threshold she pushes and shoves and actually forces the door against which she would have been powerless if you had chosen to bar it when first she knocked. MRS. HARRY B. CROUCH. Mrs. Harry B. Crouch is chairman of the new surgical dressings auxiliary of the Scottish Rite Woman's club, which she organized.

Flower 8 Arranged With Art and Taste To anyone of artistic tendencies, a tew flowers arranged naturally In a well-selected vase, dish or bowl are More pleasing In ep pearanee than a mass of bloom crowded Into any receptacle conveniently at hand whlob will hold water. There are. tlmea, and situations' too, when ' a mailing of flowers la desirable, but In rooms of limited, area, such as are found In the ordinary home, a simple arrangement In .which the Individuality of the folowers la preserved la very muoh mora off active.,. The Japanese have taught us "much In the arrangement of flowers, for table decora tion, and through their teaching the use of low bowls, dishes and traya .has become Quite general. In the selection of a receptacle for flowers, the shape adopted ahould be the one best suited to holding the blooms as nearly as possible In the position In which they ap peared on the plant For Instanoa, Iris blooms In the garden ar rather loosely disposed; the Individuality of each stalk of flowers Is very apparent' and a similar effect should be sought In the table arrange ment: a few stalks arranged so that the bloom en each may be viewed se -irately Is better than a larger quantity m. sued In a vase without regard to natural growing conditions. variety of Tases. If one has a variety of flower receptacles. an ordinary purchase of flowers may be used to greater advantage than when only a vaso or two is available. A doxen roses, say, are at hand; of these, perhaps, one of the larger buds may be Inserted In a bud vase, a splen did piece for use on a writing table, desk, or boudoir table. Every stage of opening of this bud may be watched with Interest. Of the others, five may bo used In a low bowl or dish of small diameter, and the re maining six In a vase. Three handsome floral pieces are thus obtained from a dozen roses and one Is able to sea more of the flowers because they ar not all In one plane. Where low dishes are used. . tne uower stems are kept In the required position by means of stem blocks, purchasable at any first class store. These blocks come In various slses and have angular perforations In them to hold the flower stems. Some times such blocks are in fancy forms, turtles, frogs, lily pads and the like. Flat Receptacles. Bowls and flat receptacles may be filled or partly filled with pebbles, to provide support for the flower stems. Carnations are generally arranged wttn foliage other than their own, such as asparagus and ferns, and often with light and small foliaged flowers like stevla and gypsophila. Sprays of carnation foliage, when procurable, ' coat as much an the fowers, for the reason that every spray cut means the loss of a flower to the grower. Pansles and violets usually look best when arranged In low bowls, and as color Is the predominating feature In them, as it Is also In sweet peas, wallflowers, and the like, they may be massed. But lilies. Iris and orchids should be arranged so that their forma are accentuated; massed arrangements do not suit them.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Intead of trimminsr your corns. which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little but is suffi cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops anolied directly unon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This drug is harmless ana never inflames or even irritates tbe surrounding tissue or skin.- Adv. SwmC Family Drink efW7ff In Safeguard the family's health.

Do you know whether your biscuits are rice flour or whtat flour? Could you make an accurate guess as to wheth er that pie trust was corn rlour or wheat flour? If you can't, then isn't it silly to say, "O, I can't use these wheat substitutes. The family won't eat them." It is not a question of becoming used to weat substitutes, but we must realize that the-time for idle preju dice and idle talk has gone. It is a question of life and death for our soldiers that we eat other cereals and send the wheat to them. Cooks of America, line up the ranks of th: secret service. You di not hear an employe of that branch of the service talking about his work. But he gets results. So can you. Don't say to your family, "We have no wheat on the table, we are eating no wheat, we haven't had any wheat for weeks." Say rather: "Yes, I think that b.tad is pretty pood my self," (a wheatless baking powder loaf bread,) "but there's no need of neglecting the potatoes, John Here, eat more of them and less of the bread. What are we going to have for dessert? Oh, something you like. Fruit gelavfn and cakes" (barley flour) "if you must know. Well, what's the ."ews about Ypres to night?" And so on. v Do your lking about whtat sub stitutes whtn you meet with the other wives who are secretly serv ing. There is the place to compare notes, and, incidentally, receipts. There is the place where you. may talk shop to your heart's content But in your family let your conver sation, as well as your meals, be wheatless. What to Wear in Spring May is an interesting fashion month to every one. Those of us who are not forehanded have still a spring silk frock to get or a hat of all service, and those of us who are forehanded are thinking busily of summer clothes. Whether the dress is going to be of si!k or of linen, the narrower under skirt with a tunic or panels is com mon " to both. From Paris "we learn the best line is straight, or nearly so, with a chemise blouse top loosely draped and tied about the waist or hips. Not so many elaborate dresses were shown this year, but more tailored frocks, probably owing to the lack of material. There are also some draped frocks shown for the summer, and the prettiest of these is one where the drapery is but scant, and a rather straight line is kept ' , Women in Reformatory Eager for Red Cross Workers ' "One hundred women in Bedford reformatory have been working for the Red Cross," states Agnes M.
