HIGH FOOD PRICES.

The government crop report Issued few days ago is ominous in its sug- gestions as to prices of food staples Staples are jumping on the produce exchanges, and the poor man will De squeezed before another spring.
 The abundant crops of the past few years had no appreciable effect to lower prices. The surplus was taken by fighting Europe. Europe is still bidding high for cereals and there ts a shortage of production here. It may reasonably be expected that wheat and corn wil go to the highest figures ever known.
 The injury to the corn crop makes the cost of feeding hogs high Pork and bacon, the poor mans friends, will again be away up. Beef already sells at nearly prohibitive prices for work ing people.
 Of course the country as a whole is prosperous. Millions of working peo- pie have had their wages raised. But it is not enough that they should bc able barely to meet expenses. A fam- fly life is not securely established un- less it has a bank account and a con- stant margin between income and out- go.
 The rfnch comes in host of fami- lies that are suffering from some form of misfortune. Tn many the bread winner is the victim of accident or disease. In others drunkenness and other vices have sapped the earning power. leaving wives and children to shift for themselves. In all such homes the rising cost of food products means a lack of nutritious food.
 It is a time for small economies and the teaching of intelligent methods of food preparation. It is often remarked that a French family would live on what an American household throws away. Teaching a poor family how to get the most nourishment out of given suply of foods is a better form of charity than giving money out right.

CLEAN HANDS.

If the human race would learn to keep the unwashed hand away from the mouth many human diseases would be greatly diminished. We handle infectious matter more or less constantly and we continually carry the hands to the mouth. If the hand has recently been in contact with in fectious matter the germs of disease may in this way be introduced into the body. Many persons wet their fin gers with saliva before counting mon- ey. turning the pages of a book, or performing similar acts. In this case the process is reversed, the infection being carried to the object handled, there to await carriage to the mouth of some other careless person. In view of these facts the U. s. Health Service has formulated the following simple rules of personal hygiene and recom- mends their adoption by every person in the United States.
 WASH THE HANDS IMMEDIATELY
 Before eating.
 Before handling, preparing or serv- ing food
 After using the toilet
 After attending the sick, and
 After handling anything dirty.

ONLY WOMAN CAVALRY.
 CAPTAIN PASSES AWAY

Richmond. Aug. 16.-Funeral ser vices for Capt. Sally Louisa Tomkins' the only woman who ever received . commission as captain in the Confed- crate cavalry. took place at the Home for Needy Confederate Women here. Representatives from the Richmond Blues, Howitzers, Lee Camp of Con- federate Veterans and Lee Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy att tended, and the military representa- hives escorted the body to the wharf, where it was placed aboard a steam ship to be taken for burial in the old family section in Mathews county. A detail of Lee Camp of Confederate Vet erans accompanied the body to Math- ews. Capt Tompkins was an hon- orary member of that organization. She was S3 years old.
 During the civil war Capt. Tomp- kins conducted the famous Robertson private hospital in Richmond. When an order was issued closing all pri- yate hospitals she was commissioned captain of cavalry at the request or President Jefferson Davis and allow ed to conduct her hospital until the close of the war.

THE WHITE ROAD

The white road winds through endless
 twisted pines Low woods that stretch away on either :. side
 Into the shifting sands. and clutch At rocks with gnarled roots to anchor
 them. Deep shade and peace it has, lulled
 by the low-voiced surf And gentle rustling of the wet sea-
 breeze That's lowly bends the tree-tops to and
 Over my dear road home. It leads through struggling fields with
 boulders strewn, And here and there little cypress
 tree, Past low gray cottages, and flowers Jealously hedged against the wild
 north winds. It links the countryside of kindly Women with steady eyes, and work
 worn hands, Men with an old-time faith that still
 holds firm,
 Where my white road winds home. Long in the stirling room I lay awake Hacked by the maddening noise,
 above, around. rose to watch the night crowd drift
 ing by Under the flaming sky signs, and I
 heard, From some roof-garden, snatches of
 a song That winged toward me on the torrid
 air, So bitter sweet, through tears watch
 ed the stars
 That light my white road home Ethel Wolff in New York Fines.

 For example, most children, dislike carrots but if possible they should ear them because of the iron at least. The young carrots, two-thirds grown are delicious when canned. and there are so many ways of serving them tha. at least one can be found, which the children will like. If not, try cauli- flower or spinach as a substitute and a means of introducing the needed mineral elements.
 Only a dozen each of these vegetable products will go far towards intro ducing a tonic during the winter sea- son.
 Tomatoes are very easy to can. most people like them, and they may be used in so many different ways that they are great help to the house. wife.
 Fruit juices as well as fruits should be freely used by all the family and not kept for company or for some- one who is i'll. We hope if they are used freely enough there won't be anyone i'll.
 In making jelly, after the first ex- traction of juice has been used, a little water may be added to the pulp be- fore it has been thoroughly drained. After allowing this to boil a few minutes strain carefully and put the juice in cans. The Cold Pack re- cipe for canning fruit should be used for canning fruit juice. The juice may be put up within sugar which may be added to the juice when serv- ed. We hope by that time the price of sugar will be lower.
 Recipes and directions for using the Cold Pack Method may be had by writing to the Assistant Club Leader at Storrs, Conn.
 The Cold Pack Method does not mean the products are canned without cooking. but it does mean the pro- ducts are packed in jars and then cooked instead of using what is known as "open kettle method" by which the product is first cooked and then trans ferred to the cans.

h cooking any kind of fish, the } things to be remembered are: '; Fish should be tried in deep fat. which, after cooking, should be drain- ed thoroughly, and if necessary, laid on sheets of white paper to drain. A Chilled fish should be thoroughly sthawed before being cooked. The best way is to put 1t in cold water. If warm water is used. fish should be cooked in the same water.
 Fish should be fresh If the gil1s are red, the eyes bright and the flesh firm, the fish is fresh. NJ

 Care should be taken not only. to prepare and cook the fish properly, I but to serve 1t attractively. can of curry powder and a small stock of seasonings will enable the housewife to vary her fish dishes i'm sdefinitely.
 Cold fish should not be wasted. It makes numerous excellent warm dishes and fine salads.
