On account of the cold disagreeable
weather we have been having lately
many of the farmers have not as yet
dug all their potatoes. 1t is to be
hoped that the next few days will be
warmer and more pleasant so that
it will give the farmers an opportunity
to finish digging the rest of them be-
fore the freeze up.

RED CROSS.
What 1t Has Done, Is Doing, and What
You Can Do.

You Can Do.
(New York Evening Telegram.)
Ii any one of you wonders what
the Red Cross is accomplishing with
the funds of its contributors and the
services of its helpers, just think
about this
It supports two hospital ships for
our own navy.
The great strain on the railroads of
France is being materially reduced by
q motor transport service which it
operates.
1t has already equipped Is field hos
pitfalls and S5 base hospitals ready for
service
These are only few of the many
things which it is accomplishing.
Many persons are asking how can
| help? In what way can l do my
share?
! The answer is, most emphatically,
knit Any doubt there may have been
as to the value of knitting in this war
has been completely dispelled by the
appeal sent to Washington by the
American Red Cross mission in France
The following list is what the mission
cabled the Red Cross to send before
snow flies If possible: VI
one Million mufflers, 100000
sleeveless sweaters, 100000 pairs OF
mitts
Any woman, anywhere, can knit any
or all of these articles. The Red Cross
will send them to France as fast as re-
ceived. To help you to knit these. ar
ticles-and Others. too--the Red Cross
woman's bureau has just prepared,
with the aid of knitting experts, new
knitting instructions, complete in
every detail.
1t has also arranged for 100000
pounds of wool yarn, so If you cannot
get yarn at your stores you can buy II
through the nearest Red Cross. But,
before you buy yarn, get from the
nearest chapter the new knitting bull
letin, with complete instructions for
making these garments
Here is another thing the Red Cross
wants for our soldiers 100000 COM
fort kits: one comfort kit from each
reader would materially help.
Another immediate need of the Red
Cross is bath towels; it wants l,100,-
900. They cost 80 cents each.
Through the Red Cross America will
mother the babies of France. The Red
Cross has just sent a special mission
to France to help care for the babies
and young children whom the war has
deprived of adequate provision for
their welfare.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO AID
CONSERVATION OF FOOD
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS ISSUED
BY THE BOARD OF FOOD
ADMINISTRATION.

Our problem is to feed our allies
this winter by sending them as much
food of the most concentrated nutri-
tive value in the least shipping space.
These foods are wheat, beef, pork,
dairy products and sugar
Our solution is to eat less of these
and more of other foods of which We
have an abundance. and to waste less
of all foods
Breads and cereals--Have at least
one wheatless meal day. Use corn,
Ioat, rye, barley or mixed cereal rolls,
mullins. and breads in place of white
bread certainly for one meal, and, If
possible, for two. Eat less cake and
pastry.
AS to the white bread, if you buy
from a baker, order it day in ad-
vance; then he will not bake beyond
his needs. Cut the loaf on the table
and only as required. Use stale bread
for toast and cooking.
Meat.
Meat-Use more poultry, rabbits
and especially fish and sea food in
place of beef, mutton and pork. Do
not use either beef, mutton or pork
more than once daily, and then serve
smaller portions. Use all leftover
meat cold or in made dishes. Use
soups more freely. Use beans; they
have nearly the same food value as
meat.
Milk-Use all Of the milk, waste no
part Of it. The children must have
whole milk: therefore, use less cream.
