Better Cooking by
Electricitv
Women have long known that eiectvic cooking is
cleaner, that it banishes all the dust and ashes of coal
and wood and soot and fumes of gas. They have
known that it makes the kitchen cooler; the air
purer; that is the most convenient way to cook. Now
they have the word of the women who stand for the
most scientific cooking methods known, that electric
cooking produces better results than any other
means. ,
Let us demonstrate the various sizes of ranges
and refer you to the satisfied electric range users.

A LLEGEJD THREAT (IF GEKMA> .
.Man Arrested ^at Quakertown Also
Accused of Declaring he Would
Blow- up Village.
Quakei-town, Pa., Aug. 9.?Alleging!
that he had threatened to poison the {
water supply of Quakertown, as well j
as to blow up the town, Leopold'
{Weaver, 51 years old, an unnatural-1
ized German, living near the Quaker-'
town reservoir, two miles from hero,
was arrested yesterday by Police
Chief Harry Rhoads, who is conduct
ing an aggressive campaign against
pro-Germans in this vicinity.
Chief Rhoads long has been gath
ering evijence tending to shew
Weaver to be a pronounced German
sympathizer. Weaver has been in this
country about 15 years, but has not
taken out citizenship papers. While
he denies the charges, he is being heM
at the local police station pending the j
arrival of representatives from the j
Federal authorities in Philadelphia. Jj
Big Increase in Cottage-Cheese Sales, j
Reports from our western cities j
where cottage-cheese campaigns have \
recently been completed show largely
increased sales of this wholesome
meat substitute. The following in
creased daily sales are recorded: Salt
Lake City, Utah, from 375 to 850
pounds; Spokane, Wash., from 100 to
1:S00 pounds; Seattle, Wash., from
1,115 to 1,675 pounds; San Francisco.
Cal.. from 393.5 to 1.624 pounds; or j
a total increase of 3,969 pounds of i
cottage cheese sold daily in the four
cities.
This is the result of a 10-day cam- j
paigns in each city in which the foo I
value of cottage cheese and its use in
new dishes was demonstrated by a
woman agent in dairying and in
which the creameries and milk plants
were assisted in making cheese by
two representatives from the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the Stute agricultural college. !
A Call to Duty.
From the battle fields in France J|
there comes an unspoken call that '
should find an answer, in every !
American's ^cart. The recent great
events' in Europe, the successes "f
American arms on the fiolds of France
should spur every American to
greater effort.
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels of our soldiers in
France. Every death on the field of
honor in the line of duty and for our
country's cause should be a call to us
for every sacrifice and every exer
tion to aid the cause for which our
soldiers arc fighting, for which our
soldiers have died.
Increase production, decrease coil
sumption", save, and lend to the Gov
ernment. Every cent lent to the
United States is used to support,
strengthen, and aid our soldier/ in
F ranee.
