B-E--R-E-A-D-Y R Conservation Corner The Army Needs Peach Stones Peach stones, as well as apricot, cherry, plum, prune and olive pits; also shells of any kind of nuts, are absolutely essential in making gas masks. Save them after washing and dry- ing them and bring to Community House or let the children take to school. age of Vegetables Now To care for the surplus vegetables in most cases, requires nothing more than the use of existing facilities in or near home. By storing vegetables during the season of lowest prices, even the household which has no home garden can save much of the cost that would be involved in win- ter purchases. Vegetables which may be stored to good advantage are: Late Potatoes, Beets, Carrots, Parsnips, Turnips, Onions, Celery, Cabbage, Salsify and Sweet Potatoes. For some of these, satisfactory storage places are provided by the pantry shelf or attic. For others the cellar is the right place. For others outdoor storage is preferable. Es- pecially good results may be ob- tained if several neighboring families will form community clubs to pro- vide storage facilities. In this way very complete provisions may be made for handling winter supplies at slight trouble and expense to the in- dividual household. In a house heated by a cellar furn- ace, vegetables may be stored in the cellar Partition off a small room and if possible see that this room has at least one outside window for temperature regulation. An earth floor is desirable, but in a cellar with a concrete floor the purpose may be served by covering the concrete surface with two or three inches of sand, which should be sprinkled with water from time to time. In this room may be stored potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnip, turnips and salsify. Put them in bins or in boxes, baskets. slat crates or barrels. A bin should hold not more than two or three bushels. The vegetables should be harvested when the ground is dry and should lie outdoors until any moisture on them has evaporated. Remove the tops from beets, turnips, carrots and salsify. In cellar-Storage, beets, carrots and turnips may be buried in damp sand to good purpose. For further directions on storing, see Farmers' Bulletin No. 879. This also gives directions for storing in pits and outdoor storage. How To Save On Two Pounds of Sugar a Month Seven ways for daily ing 1. Use fresh fruits without sugar. 2.

PERSHING HONORS AMERICA'S FIRST AIR BATTLERS Paris, France, September 6, 1918.
