PUT KAISER ON THE RUN
Bf EATING LESS INHEAT
The United States food administra
tion has asked that we eat no more
than one and one-half pounds of wheat
flour per person each week. That is.
Jane might allow herself 1 ->i pounds
of victory bread (which would mean
about 1 pound of wheat flour) and
an additional half pound of flour for
cooking purposes, or Mary might de
cide not to have so much bread and
use a little more for cooking. Neither
Jane nor Mary will have any complaint
to make against the order aside from
the fact that it is not hard enough.
Patriotic Jane will probably ask,
"Why doesn't the government really
make us sacrifice something?" to
which Mary may reply, "If everyone
did that much. It would be enough "
"But there is the rub," declares Jane.
"This is strictly between us. but you
and I know two families in this town
that are out and out slackers."
There are two things which you may
do lor slacker families in your town.
First of all It is your privilege to con
vert them. There are clever ways of
doing this which will suggest them
selves to you. There is the influence
of the children, for example, and so
often just a clear explanation of the
reasons why would accomplish won
ders.
But in the meantime who is going to
nullify their efforts (for their lack of
effort is an effort for Germany)? Does
jt not stand to reason that somebody
must do double duty because of the
slackers?
Having reasoned all this out, the
Janes and Marys of the country will)
quietly and unassumingly go ahead.
With sympathetic understanding tfley
have read between the lines when the
food administration said, "Many thou
sand families throughout tho land are'
now using no wheat products what
ever, except a very small amount for j
cooking purposes, and are doing so in
perfect health and satisfaction," andi
have answered: "I, too, pledge to my
country more than I have been asked
to give."

HlTKNOS AIRES, July 6.—Only
twenty-one citizens of the United
States registered for the municipal
elections in Buenos Aires under the
new law which gives the vote to for
eigners In municipal elections. The
census of 1914 showed that there were
3,449 Americans in the Argentina re
public. It is estimated that this num
ber has doubled since the war began
and that most of them are living in
Buenos Aires.
The newspapers commented unfav
orably on the fact that, of the 120,000
foreigners in the city w'ho were en
titled to vote, only 13,615 registered,
and said this showed that they had
no interest In their city beyond mak
ing as much money as possible and
then returning to their native , coun
tries. The papers argued from this
that the foreigner's collaboration in
the city government could never be
depended upon.
The census of 1914 showed that
there were nearly as many aliens in
Buenos Aires as natives, 777,845 for
eigners and 797.969 natives In order
to give this great foreign population
a voice in the city government a law
was passed recently extending the
vote to all aliens who were married
to Argentine women, or who had chil
dren born in Argentina, or who paid
a specific amount of house rent. This
included nearly all the married for
eigners in the city. Unmarried for
eigners were entitled to vote if they
paid as much as fity pesos a year in
taxes.
The nationalities most largely repre-j
sented in the registration were: Ital
ians, 6,447; Spaniards, 6,004; French,
508; Russians, 481; Uruguayans, 377;
Germans, 195; English, 144.
One of the newspapers In comment
ing unfavorably on this rejection of
the ballot by the foreigners said It
was an "inexplicable social phenom
enon."

COOKS GAN DO THEIR BIT
BY ECONOMY IN KITCHEN
•'It taken real gray matter to mar
ket and cook those days,” remarked
a seasoned housekeeper at a Liberty
kitchen demonstration. And it is this
I'acl that Is giving housekeepers real
interest In it Women are practicing
thrift not with their dollars and cents
as the incentive, but because they are
serving their country In this way.
They are learning food values not be
cause of epicurean tastes but because
they must know how to select the sub
stitutes of equal value for those foods
they are patriotically giving up
Feeding the family has suddenly
taken on the dignity and importance
of a patriotic rite. Wartime cooking
is not only teaching women to cook
economically but also more under
standingly.
It takes thinking and wise planning
to use more and more potatoes as
we are now being urged to do in or
der to eat less bread and yet not let
the family weary of this tried and true
friend, the potato. It takes not only
kitchen camouflage, but actual knowl
edge. to use rice flour or potato flour
or corn-starch for thickening purposes
instead of wheat flour. All cream j
dressings or gravies thickened in this
way have to be cooked longer in or-j
der to disguise the flavor of the starch.
