At the beginning of June there were
about 800 men in uniform ln German
prison camps. The American troops
have captured considerably more than
i.OOO Germans, so the score is more
than even In that respect.
In Berne. Switzerland, the Ameri

Tbey are doing this In preference to
their regular Junior work.
Any Junior Red Cross member who

raise one pig each, to be known as tha
lied Cross pig. Although, the county
bus only .1,000 registered voters, 3.000
persons answered the call. A few days
ago the department of agriculture an
nounced that 3,000 porkers represent
the output of the club.
Handkerchiefs. '
If the handkerchiefs are yellow, the
reason Is that they have not been prop
erly washed. To overcome this yellow
color put the handkerchiefs In cold
water, in which there Is kerosene,
about one teaspuonful to a quart, and
a shaving of gyod laundry soap. Let
the handkerchiefs boll In this about
three hours. Take them out, dry in
the sun, and they will be snowy white.
