its so easy to
serve fresh
coconut now
that its canned
No need to spend an hour or more cracking and
grating whole coconuts. No more bruised fingers
and mussy kitchens. Here is fresh coconut —
luscious tender meat sterilized with sweet rich
coconut milk in cans ready for instant use.
Canned coconut keeps fresh indefinitely. You can always
have it on hand. Use it to make coconut loaf (a substitute
for meat) coconut biscuits and other everyday dishes in
addition to serving it with sliced oranges and for desserts.
Use the milk just as you would cow's milk. It is pure
rich in food value and adds a zestful flavor.
Try these delicious coconut cakes.

FILES DEEDS FOR
LANDS NEEDED TO
BUILD RIVER DRIVE
Lambert Says Two Tracts
May Be Condemned-Emer-
gency Fand Created.
i K?€ds to a strip of land lying along
the west side of the San Antonio
river north of Josephine Street
were filed with the city council at
its meeting Monday by Commission-
er Lambert. H* announced that
these included all the land needed
for the so-called River drive at that
pla.e with the exception of a right-
of-way across two email tracts.
These probably will lie condemned
as the consideration pledged by the
city to the owners of the property
donated is the construction of the
driveway.
At the instance of Commissioner
Coy the council created a special
emergency and contingent fund
from which appropriations will be
made tn pay al’ unusual expense*
due to the presenco-of soldiers here.
The final clause of the ordinance
provided that an adequate tax levy
be made before April 1 to riase the
money required to meet appropria-
tions from this fund.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salta in water may
saic you from dread
attack.
Rheumatism is easier to avoid
than to cure states a well-known
authority. We are advised to dress
warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid
exposure: ent less meat but drink
plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other
rich foods that produce uric acid
which is absorbed into the blood. It
is the function of the kidneys to
filter this acid from the blood and
cast it out in the urine; the pores
of the skin orc also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly cold weather
the skin pores are closed thus forc-
ing the kidneys to do double work
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate the uric acid.
which keeps accumulating and cir-
culating through the system event-
ually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheuma-
tism get from any pharmacy about
four ounces vf Jid Salts; put a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
and drink before breakfast each
morning for a week. This is said
to eliminate uric acid by stimulat-
ing the kidneys to normal action
thus ridding the blood of these im-
purities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive harm-
less and is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice combined
with Hthia and is used with ex-
cellent results by thousands of folks
who are subject to rheumatism.
Here you have a pleasant efferves-
cent lithia-water d> k which helps
overcome uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.

Campaign of War Education
in County Planned
by Council.
TO SPEAK AT SCHOOLS
Announced That “War Con-
ference” Will Be Held in
San Antonio March 10.
A speaking campaign t » keep die
rural population of Texas awake to
the developments of the war was in-
augurated at the Chamber of Com-
merce Monday afternoon by thirty
or forty San Antonio business and
professional men. Joseph Hirsch
vice president of the Corpus Christi
National Rank and chairman of the
speaking division of the State Coun-
cil of Defense presided. The speak-
ers included Chairman Harry Hertz-
berg of the local four-minute men;
Arthur E. Bcstur. head of the public
speaking bureau. National Council
of Defense; Mayor Sam C. Bell; Su-
perintendent Charles S. Meek San
Antonio Public Schools; Fred L. Al-
len of the National Council of De-
fense; H. H. Simmons of the Army
Y. M. C. A. and Dean E. D. Shur-
ter of the public speaking depart-
ment University of Texas.
Mr. Hirsch explained the im-
portance of reaching the country
people and suggested his plan of
holding meetings in school houses
and other places where a crowd-
could bo gotten together. Be sug-
gested that the city council might
furnish funds as “there are few bet-
ter uses the people’s money van be
put to than to use it in their de-
fense."
Break Into l ihn Keels.
Mr. Hertzberg reported on the
wot < of the four-minute men who
have been speaking regularly in the
motion picture houses of the city.
He taid that the owners of the
huu.-es had been very courteous in
their willingness to allow the speak-
frs the use of their establishments
and their time but that they were
to be abked to further aid by stop-
ping their reels at a designated time
so that the audience would not leave
before the speaker was given an op-
portunity to make his address.
“There are 19.000 men speaking
every night to millions of people in
the United States.” said Mr. Bestor.
"We are exerting every effort to
have men trained to speak ami au-
iiences trained to listen when the
great crisis come and great mess-
uges arc to be delivered. The war
will be won only because 95 per cent
of the people are enthusiastically for
it and this enthusiasm must be
created by word of mouth."
The privileges of hearing the
pceches should be given the sol-
diers as well as tne civilians te-
licves Mr. Bestor. He spoke highly
of the campaign organization in
Texas and expressed himself in the
belief that this state waa one of the
most successful in the plan of "word-
ing from the bottom instead of tak-
ing orders from some one at the
top."
W ar Conference Here March 10.
War conferences will bo held in
every state within the next month
continued Mr. Bestor. Texas’ allot-
Pient he said would probably he
three one of which will be held in
San Antonio during the week of
March 10. A special com mission of
four men from the National Council
of Defense will sneak at the confer-
enccf.
Dean Shurter told of what t ie
department he represented was do-
ing toward spreading pro-American
propaganda in the country districts
explaining that the country school
declamation contests in which the
students were given patriotic themes
to sj cak on were great means of
keeping before the rural population
the war and its effects. Thirty thou-
sand school children he said wore
organized and at the service of the
new bureau for this work.
Auditoriums of the city schools
here were offered to the use of pa-
triotic speakers by Superintendent
Meek. Mr. Hertzberg plans to en-
large his corps of speakers imme-
diately to possibly several times its
present size and to "wade into the
new’ rural speaking campaign In ad-
dition to the four-minute speaking
up to his nock."

ASSISTANT PURSER ON
LINER ARRESTED FOR
SMUGGLING COUPONS
Held Under Bond for Al-
leged Violation of Trad-
ing With Enemy Act.
AN ATLANTIC PORT Feb. 19.—
Johannes Dendrik Werkhoven assis-
tant purser on the Holland Ameri-
can liner Nieuw Amsterdam was ar-
rested yesterday under the trading
with the enemy act and was said to
have confessed that he had brought
to this country for redemption bondr
and coupons owned in Europe. He
was held in 125000 bail for further
examination.
Army intelligence officers have
been puzzled as to the manner in
which securities known to belong to
Germans residing abroad have been
brought h» the United States and
convenrted into cash. The arrest of
Werkhoven trapped while negotiat-
ing the sale of a $5OO United Fruit
Company bond is believed to clear
up the mystery. Werkhoven is said
to have admitted that since the out-
break of the war he has been mak-
ing large profits by bringing to this
country and cashing bonds and cou-
pons which he said were owned by
"friends in Holland." Ke denied hav-
ing had any dealings with Germans
ami said the bond he tried to sell
today was obtained from Cornelius
Nederhooven a Hollander at Rot-
tenia m.
Besides this bond Werkhoven is
claimed to have surrendered cou-
pons worth $7OOO which he brought
from Europe on his last trip on the
Nieuw Amsterdam.
Werkhoven. it is said told of his
method of avoiding detection during
the search of his ship by govern-
ment agent*. The securities he hid
brought with him were concealed he
said ip a cigar.
Werkhoven. it is declared claims
that tho bonds and coupons he sur-
rendered yesterday were the first he
had surreptitiously brought to Ame-
rica since the passage of the trading
with the enemy law. One lot of
bonds was sold to a Hoboken trust
company for $75000. Last July h» i
imported $12000 worth of coupons
and in January. 1917. he cashes se-
curities here worth $32000.
