WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT
“I know what the United States
Food Administration is asking us to
save,” one (housewife was heard
to remark, “but I can’t cut down
any more than I have unless I can
get something to take its place.”
That is exactly the question to
be solved—that will take its place.’
The first thing to determine, then
is what each of these foods you ar<
asked to save, contributes to th»
body’s needs. And the next ste{
is to find other foods that will sup
ply those same food elements.
Wheat furnishes starch, for on*
thing. But so do the other cereals
Why not use corn, oats, rye, rice
and barley, as both an admixture ir
flour and as a cereal? Serve such
starchy vegetables as sweet and
Irish potatoes more often and less
bread will be eaten.
Meat has long been considered the
chief source of protein. But there
are many other foods equally rich
in body-building material such as
milk, poultry, fish, cheese, eggs,dried
legumes and some of the nuts. The
duty of the patriotic housewife is
to study which of these foods are
most satisfactory to her family in
exchange for meat, and then to de
vise new ways of combining and
serving them. She can also extend
the meat flavor and make a very
little meat go a very long way. For
stew some of these “meat extend
ers” are potatoes, parsnips, carrots,
and turnips, while inexpensive meat
dishes can be prepared by combining
the cheaper cuts of meat with rice,
potato, bread crumbs, corn meal and
samp.
A certain amount of fats and of
sweets is necessary to a wholesome
diet- Much less^ however, than we
have been accustomed to think nec
essary. We can easily use less fat
than we do and we can also reduce
our uses of animal fats by using
vegetable oils in cooking in place
of butter and by using poultry fat
for shortening purposes.
That we are being asked to curtail
our use of white sugar doesn’t
threaten the removal of the required
sweets in our diet. Try using half
the usual amount of white sugar,
with honey or maple sugar or corn
syrup to make up the amount* re
quired. Stewed raisins or sliced dates
will sweeten the breakfast cereal.
Some of the body’s fuel must
come in the form of sweets, it» is
true, but that does not mean that
all of it must come in the form of
the white sugar now needed by the
Allies.
Keep in mind the body’s needs in
food elements and then set about
to supply the needs with foods that
are not the present shiDDiner needs
for our own soldiers and those oi
, the Allies. First know the dietetic
■ value of those foods that you are
asked to save and then learn how
1 to suply these same elements with
other foods.
HELP APPRECIATED
“Is it realized by the people of
this country that America has al
ready saved us from capitulating
to the enemy?” asks a special "r:ior
for one of London’s big dailies?
“Either,” the writer continues,
“we should have been forced into
this surrender with our armies un
broken and our munitions of war
'unexhausted, or we should at this
moment be struggling to live and
i work and fight on one-third of our
: present rations.”
i The food supplies being sent by
| the United States to its allies rep
resent, it is pointed out, “the kind
ly, difficult and entirely willing
! sacrifice of a whole nation, the vast
; majority of whom are working peo
' pie.”
: America, the article continues,
j has answered England's appeal “in
! a manner which marks her out as
| one of the greatest moral forces
! in the world. It should be known
i out there, in the farm houses and
| cottages of the American continent,
1 that the people of this country.
; tightening their belts and confront
ing the future with an indestruct
ible confidence, are mindful of
America’s self-safrifice—self sacri
fice which will save the world.”
BE A POTATRIOT
Eat potatoes and save wheat.
The potato is a good soldier.
Eat it, uniform and all.
The potato is a native American.
, Enlist it to fight against the kaiser.
■_
We must conquer the whims of
our cwn appetites before we can
hope to conquer the German menace.
Instead of allowing potatoes to po
to waste, send them to the waist line.

Liner Driven on Mud Bank Bjr Gale,
Where Panengeri Face Death
For Day,
—
HONOLULU, T. H.—The Pacific
Mail steamship Colusa, which arrived
here recently from Indian Ocean
ports enroute to San Francisco,
brought the story of how she rescued
780 passengers a little more than a
month ago from the French liner
Andre Lebon which sank on a mud
flat, with her decks awash, in a gale
in the Straits of Mallr/jca.
] According to the story told by
the officers of the Colusa, she re
ceived the wireless call for help
from the stranded steamer, but the
narrow, curving channel of the
straits made speed dangerous, but
the Colusa made as good time as
possible and reached the Andre
By this time the French liner hac
listed dangerously and the watei
was sweeping her main deck, al
though the gale had moderated
Some of the passengers had beer
landed on a small mud island by s
Japanese torpedo boat. With the ait
of this vessel 500 Chinese coolies
250 wounded French veterans and
thiry members of the Andre Lebon
crew were transferred to the Colusa,
being later landed in Singapore
Nearly 300 other passengers were
taken off by Japanese warships that
arrived later.
The Andre Lebon was of 14,000
tons and was enroute from Saigon
to Hongkong when she stranded.
Her passenger list was made up en
tirely of French soldiers and Chin
ese coolies who had been wounded
or otherwise disabled on the West
ern front in Europe, and who had
all ben invalided from active service.
EXPRESS MIC

, Joint Circular Issued By All American
Express Companies Regarding
Shipments.
| Agents of all express companies
have received' a circular addressed
to the patrons of these express com
panies urging close co-operation with
a view to utilizing transportation
facilities to the utmost without
crowding. The circular is as fol
lows:
To Patrons of Express Companies:
“The volume of traffic now being
tendered to the express companies
is substantially larger than the cor
responding season a year ago, while
the express car equipment has been
materially lessened through the ne
cessity of using baggage and express
cars in troop movement and the
handling of other Government traffic.
The express terminals in the larger
cities in the East have their limita
tions and many of the-e terminal:
are now handling their maximun
business.
“In order to utilize terminals am
cars to their utmost capacity it i.
requested that express patrons assist
the companies by preparing their tx
press shipments as early in the daj
as possible, thereby avoiding con
gestion in the final pick-up.
It is also requested *.iat freight ser
vice and motor trucks be used foi
the shorter haul traffic in and
around the congested districts and
that only such shipments for nearbj
points as actually demand express
service be offered to the express
companies, so that the traffic re
quiring expedited service to and
from the more distant points may be
cared for. *
“It is only by the closes;
operation between express shippers
and the carriers, and mutual consid
eration of the difficulties confront
ing each other, that we can minimize
the restraints which may have to
be enforced upon the customary use
of the usual channels of transporta
tion.”
RED CROSSBIRD
DUE IN NENANA
ON SIR. ALASKA
Rooster Sent On Errand of Mercy
Wil Be Nenana’* Guest For
Few Days.
A big rooster sent out by Commis
sioner Dehn and who has been do
ing the rounds of some of the In
terior towns, arrived at Tanana a
few days ago, and according to tele
graphic advices received by United
States Marshal James Hagen, this
patriotic bird will arrive in Nenana
on the steamer Alaska.
Just what that bird is going to do
here to help the Red Cr~ss is not de
finitely known at the present time,
but the plans made for his activities
during his stay in Nenana will be
made known in due season.
Many citizens of Nenana are ap
parently very willing to undertake
the care of the bird as long as he
is wiin us anu one ox tnem wu,
probably be selected for this service
William Gilcher, who recently im
ported a dozen selected chickens, has
built a nice chicken house with a
poultry run in connection and says
that he will very gladly care for that
Red Cross rooster for as long a time
as he cares to stay with us, regard
less of cost.
Bill is soft hearted and thinks that
his chickens are looking as if they
were lonsome and that they would
be all the better for the company
of this Red Cross bird, even though
for a short time only.

! STUDENTS DRIVE NAILS
IN PICTURE OF KAISER
DENVER.—Students of Manyal
high school here, after bidding for
| the-opportunity, drove nails into a
| wooden likeness of the German em
porer’s face and head.
For a single nail and the right
to drive Lucile Torrey paid $10;
She drove it in his eye. Perry
Crandall also paid $10 for a crack
at the kaiser.
The nailing idea was planned to
aid the senior class fund, which this
year will be used toward the pur
chase of an ambulance for the Red
Cross. About $100 was raised the
first day.

The Allied armies find it very profitable
pimnnnmmnminnn
to salvage scrap from the battlefields. Great
Britain is saving millions every year from
this thrifty panctice.
If we could extend this practice to the
United States—if we saved only the waste
and needless spending of every day and put
the saving into War Savings Stamps, it
would help to win the war.
Your every saving helps the Government.
Put the small savings into U. S. Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each; when you have
16 of them, exchange them with a few extra
pennies for a $5 War Savings Stamp.
