SMALL GAINS OF ADVANTAGE
BY GENERAL HAIC'S ARMY ARE
ENCOURAGING FOR HIGH HOPES

Meanwhile the Germans, renewing the
attacks on Verdun, have captured Dam
loup battery. which they held for time
early in June. This position is the point
furthest west from Verdun in the French
line of defence. so that its loss is not
taken seriously by the French command.
To the east the Russians are engaged
in heavy battles in the extreme north
western corner Of Bukowina, where they
are inf1icting further defeats on the army
of General Pfanger, now cut off from
General Won Bothmer's forces to the
north and also along the Stokhod river,
where the Austrians and Germans are
putting up formidable resistance. The
Stokhod is a shallow river, but marshes
on either side impede movements OF
troops and guns.
Across the river fighting Is In progress
near Svidniki. while to the southeast an
other force Is advancing on Kovel.

Brown had come home very late

he reached home, but he did not
know it.
"Ahv he muttered, 'if the church
clock would only strike, l should know
the time. It's too dark to see."
But bark! Just as he spoke the
clock began to strike. Breathlessly,

PRESERVING Foods.

A new method has been discovered
says an English paper, for preserving
various food products, especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
placing the substance In a sealed YES
sci or packing case with inert gas, SO
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling of contents by the action OF
the air. In the French patented pro-
cess the milk powder is packed in
metal boxes Of convenient size, which
are entirely sealed except for a PIN
hole that Is left at the top. A number
Of such boxes are put In a chamber
and the air Is exhausted by means Of
an air pump. When this operation Is
finished valves are opened which allow
nitrogen to enter the chamber and fill
up the several boxes. When opening
up the chamber the boxes are quickly
removed and the pinhole soldered be-
fore an appreciate amount of air has
time to enter. In this way the con-
tents Of the boxes are kept In an at
mOsphere Of inert gas, and the process
is thus practical from an Industrial
standpoint.

penditures. Since the cost of living is
constantly advancing it is vitality nee
essary that deep concern be paid to
reducing certain items of expenditure.
Food for the family costs more than
any other item, and those who work
with the thriftless and improvident
know that their condition is largely a
matter of what they spend for the in
side rather than the outside of the
body.
Since meat makes up large part of
the ordinary family diet, any economy
in the purchase of it will make a no.
ticeable reduction in the food bill By
using meat substitutes, which are less
expensive, but as nutritious, the
amount may be cut down by half. The
use of cheese, which is rich in pro-
tein, a pound of cheese being equal to
two pounds of meat in food value with
much less waste, will PROVE most sat

1t is great advantage to market

is able to furnish variety and if shs

fuse to buy that which she knows she
cannot afford, no matter how alluring,
she will find her marketing profitable.
The butcher will not give short weight
with the customer looking on, though
the difference may be small it amounts
to much in the course of a year.
The cheaper cuts of meat, nuts pre-
pared in loaf, eggs in various forms,
are all economical dishes when pre-
pared intelligently
The utilizing of left-overs in the
planning Of the meals is another i'm
portant item. 1t goes without saying
that the economical housewife makes
| out her menu days ahead in order to
save expense and use those left-overs
profitably.
Brown bread, white bread or whole
wheat bread is made more wholesome
by the addition of few raisins.
Fruit and vegetables lend them
selves to all sorts Of combinations. AS
soups and salads they are satisfac-
tory.
