Every1 housewife knows that cranberry sauce is rendered fit to eat only by cooking with sugar, pound for pound.

This moutu we are to go on a ar bread diet at the command of the Food Dictator. The papers announce that by curtailing the amount of sugar aud lard used in bread-making, Mr. Hoover estimates that an annual saving of 100,000,000 pounds each will be ef-fected.

Kansas, Oklahoma and Txn, realizing the Imperative necessity for united effort to shorten and win this most rtfihteous of all wars, appeal to the cltlaenshlp of the Southwest to enroll It In the ranks of the American Ked Cross. During the week of Dec. 17 the American Red Cross will add ten million new members to Its roll of patriotic, self-sacrificing; determined Americans. Men, munitions and the spirit of the great American Red Cross will preserve those ideals for which we are fighting and secure Just and lasting peace.

The service which the Red Cross Is rendering and will render throughout the duration of the war l'of Incalculable value. It Is not less an army than the army In khaki which will Impose Itself between us In our security and the deadly shell fire of the enemy. And the army In khaki will fiRht with greater vigor and enthusiasm In the knowledge that fifteen million American men and women stand behind It ready to relieve the suffering and anguish caused by the diabolic instruments of warfare and ready to protect the loved ones left at home. The work done thus far by the American Red Cross In France and Belgium has stiffened the morale of the French soldiers and given them new heart by reason of its relief work among the civilian population of our allies. The suffering families of the soldiers are being ministered to by agents of mercy wearing the insignia of the Red Cross and the consciousness of this fact 1ms strengthened the men In the trenches to bear the burden during the tedious period of our preparation.

Every French, British or UelRian soldier retained In the trenches during this critical period means the saving of at least one American life. We must let our boys know that we are keeping guard over the homes which they are leaving and that the Red Cross stands ever ready to protect and safeguard the wives, mothers and children of the men who have gone to fight, in this the greatest struggle the world has ever known between autocracy and democracy. Membership In the American Red Cross Is synonymous with good citizenship. We urge every person, man, woman or child not now a member of this greatest of all humanitarian organizations, to become a member before Christmas eve and place In his window with a lighted candle behind it a red service flag as glorious emblem of the faot that the occupants of that house have enrolled In an army not less determined, not less ready to do its share than the army in khaki on whom we are relying su confidently. Join the American Red Cross, the most powerful ally of our fighting forces, during Christmas week, so that the announcement on Christmas morning of a membership of 16.000,0(10 may show to our enemies that we are a united and undivided people and that, therefore, our cause must prevail.
