The Red Cross Civilian Relief work has reached 5,000 more families of soldiers and sailors than in any previous month, according to the last monthly report of James L. Fieser, Lake Division director of the Civilian Relief Department. The report shows a total of 25,377 families dealt whth; in 3,094 cases some tangible help was rendered. In 1910 cases only information was needed. Eleven thousand six hundred forty-two dollars and sixty-six cents was spent during the month in financing relief work to carry on this phase of after-war Red Crosss service. Lake Division officials of the American Red Cross have been asked to be ready to’do their part in launching the nation-wide Red Cross Peace Program soon to lie announced. Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky chapters that have helped in the war-time Red Cross work for humanity will be called on to develop through tho. peace Rod Cross —an even wider service than has ever been attempted by any organization. Working out the details of such an extensive program necessarily takes time. National headquart ers depend on the loyalty and patience of the chapters during the transition period which Is almost over. The number of blinded in the war is comparatively small. According to Major William Shoemaker, who is in charge of the eye department in all the American hospitals in England and who recently returned to his home in Philadelphia after 18 months’ service overseas, there were not imany more than 100 American soldiers who lost their sight abroad. Lieut. Col. Allen Green wood, of Boston, who has been senior consulting occulist with the American Expeditionary Forces, said upon his arrival in New York. Saturday, January 25. that of the 110 cases of blindness which had been treated in Paris, 76 have returned to the United States. Lieut. Col. James Bordley is in charge of the reeducation of blinded soldiers, sailors and marines at Evergreen hospital, Batimore. There are at present 123 men at Evergreen-Hwo marines, two sailors, two civilians who lost their sight doing war work, the rest soldiers. Nine of these soldiers became blind from injury or disease; 108 lost, their sight in foreign service. Os this entire number 55 ar blind. 1

Wesley Hoffman returned from a! husness trip to Warsaw last evening. The Rotary banquet to be held at j tho Claypool hotel next week will be j the largest ever served there. Plates j will be laid for 1200 guests. Sergt. Earl D. Conner, former edit- i or of the Geneva Herald, for a year ! and a half In the printing office at Camp Shelby, was here today. He ' has been given an honorable dis- I charge and will begin work at this of- | flee Monday morning. Ho is a good prnter and will help us out at this time when such employees are hard ; to find. ’ BACK°HOME Valier & Spies again milling their I famous Enterprise flour. Users of Valier’s Enterprise Flour ! have keenly felt the deprivation of J their favorite flour since America ent-;I ered the war. They will be glad toil hear that, with the discontinuance of | the government's milling regulations, I Enterprise that it was a year ago. I market —the same extra high quality I Enterprise that s was a year ago. | The policy which ruled the Valier I and Spies Milling Company with re- | gard to Enterprise Flour during the | war, was that they preferred to with- I draw this high quality flour from sale 1 entirely, rather than change the high ! standard they have always maintain- I ed in its milling. Consequently, the I company widely announced that the ; public would have to wait for Enter- j prise until the war was won, or until I the government withdrew the string- ■ ent regulations under which millers were placed during the period of the J shortage of wheat. The result has been that at no time has the standard of Valier's Enter- I prise been altered in the least. To meet the conditions, Valier put out their popular priced Valier’s Community, which was the highest quality flour that could be made under the . government regulations, and with this | fine flour they have retained practically all of their old Enterprise customers, besides making hosts of new friend's. The high quality of Valier’s Enterprise is due to painstaking care both in the selection of the finest hard wheat grown, and In the careful Valler slow process method of milling. A premium, is paid in order to obtain the choicest wheat, and this is milled and. sifted through the finest Swiss silk in order to obtain the perfect texture and fineness for which Valier’s Flours are noted. The result Is a •‘flour of flours,” which thousands of housewives have attested by their use of Valier’s for every kind of baking, from home-made bread to tassty and delicious cakes, biscuits and pastry. Tho “Return of Enterprise” is causing many a reunion of rejoicing in the kitchens and at the family tables of every community in the land. “thFseattle strike.
