Most Women Serve Too Many
Varieties Of Food at One
Meal, Says College Expert.

Food conservation is quite as impor-
tant as food production. People Of
this country can profit by the expert
ence Of European nations at war, and
at the same time effect a great saving
in their living expenses. European
peoples started conserving food when
they were forced to do so, but the peo-
pie Of this country can avert the ne
cessity by beginning now. These are
the conclusions of food experts.
Miss Bah Bell of the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture is Of the opinion
that most women serve too many foods
at a meal. "A meal may be well-bal-
anced and appetizing, and still be SUBJ
ject to reduction without loss to body
needs" said Miss Bell. by cutting
down the number of foods served the
cost Of meals can be materially de-
creased. Furthermore, there is no ne
cessity for folks to eat more than they
need. By doing without the excess
which is usually consumed, we can
make available just that much more
food for future needs"
Miss Bell cited the following meal
as typical: "Clear soup, maccaroni
and cheese, lettuce and beet salad, ap-
pie sauce, bread and butter, cream
pie" This meal will be just as we'll
balanced and much more economical
If 1t is simplified thus: Macaroni and
cheese, lettuce salad, bread and but
ter, apple sauce.
I'm like manner" she concluded, "in
planning meals, see first that the nee
essary classes of food are represented
and then see how few dishes may be
served, rather than how many"

BIackbirds of Two Kinds;
One Deserves No Quarter,
Other Has Good Qualities.

The lark has two sable relatives,
very numerous, which have long been
Of Ill repute. One Is the grackle, our
common big, snaky keel-tailed "black-
bird" and he deserves the black eye
he has (actually, by the way, that Or
gan is Of a maniacal straw Yellow,
and his place in the list Of birds with
out protection. He does destroy many
bad bugs, especially cutworms and
other ground infesting nuisances, but
he also Furnishes the grain, spoils a
deal Of corn in the milk and systemati-
cally raids the nests of his smaller
neighbors, the weed seed cleaners and
small insect scourges, breaking their
eggs and Draining their helpless young.
So it might be all right to eat grackles
If grackles were not decidedly too
tough and strong to eat.
But the other blackbird, the redwing,
that fine steel black march bugler with
the orange scarlet epaulettes, can be
eaten, can when flocked in autumn be
slaughtered wholesale with the spread
ing charge Of shotgun, and although
he too takes some toll of the grain
and the corn. in ear investigation has
established his overbalancing worth.

Jack Rabbits Which Live
on Deserts of Southwest
Are Never Known to Drink.

A very curious feature of animals
life in the deserts of the Southwest Is:
that rabbits, quail, squirrels, deer, an
telope, the mountain sheep and many
kinds of reptiles and insects live at
great distances from visible water.I
The jack rabbit is especially notablej
in this respect; and, moreover, IT.
fourishes in regions without particle,
Of green food in sight for miles and
miles.
Westerners assert that the jack,
rabbit may be found, happy and fat,
spending the day under scrap OF
bush that makes little more shade than,
a flshnet. His skin IL as porous as a
piece of buckskin, and the heat Is
sufficient to evaporate every drop of
blood in his body. yet he seems to get
on very nicely.
Californians aver that no one has even
seen q jack rabbit drink. Those who
have camped for days in the deserts
in vicinities where the only water for
miles around was to be found, and
with rabbits everywhere, declare that
never does one Of the little fellows
come to the springs to drink. Men
have even gone so far as to examine
the margins of waterholes in those dis
tricts, with never q track Of the rab-
bit disclosed beyond where the grass
grew.

Nu M~t~t4e
Bargain in Islands.

La Gobernadora, an island, five miles
long and four miles wide, in the Pa
cifc, just 100 miles from the Panama
canal, and nearer that waterway than
any insular possession of the United
States, little dot in the mighty ocean,
and described as gem, is offered for
sale, says an exchange. 1t would, It Is
said, have been purchased by Germany
long ago but 1t was owned by Nine. L.
Ruecke-Vallarina, a Partisan, who
would not sell it to that nation, or to
anyone likely to do so, ND matter what
the consideration. Circumstances grow
ing out of the times now compel Nine.
l.. Ruecke-Vallarino to replenish her
cash resources, but she will strive to
hold the island, at any cost, rather than
have 1t pass into the hands Of interests
unfriendly to the United States. Per-
haps Uncle Sam may, at least, take the
trouble to look at it.

FRUIT
WITHOUT SUGAR

Fruit for use In pie or salads or as
stewed fruit can be put up or canned
without the use Of any sugar at all,
according to the canning specialists
of the government. They, therefore,
advise those who, because Of the high
price of sugar, have been thinking
of reducing the amount of fruit they
put up, to can as much of their sur
plus as possible by the use Of boiling
water when sugar strip is beyond
their means. Any fruit, they say, may
be successfully sterilized and re-
tanned their natural flavor, texture and
color as well as fruit put up in strip.
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet
ened.
Can the product the same day 1t is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing 1t in strainer
and pouring water over it until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars or tin cans until they are
full; use the handle Of tablespoon,
wooden ladle, or table knife for pack
ing purposes. Pour over the fruit
boiling water from kettle, place rub
bers and caps in position, partially
seal If using glass jars, seal complete
ly if using tin cans. Place the con-
tainers in sterilizing vat such as a
wash boiler with false bottom, or 9TH
er receptacle improvised for the pur-
pose. If using a hot-water bath out
fit, process for 80 minutes; count time
after the water has reached the boil
ing point; the water must cover the
highest jar in container. After steril-
izing remove packs, seal glass jars,
wrap in paper to prevent bleaching
and store in dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it will
improve the product to plunge the
cans quickly into cold water imme-
diately after sterilization. When u.s.
ing steam-pressure Gamer instead Of
the hot-water bath, sterilize for ten
minutes with five pounds Of steam
pressure. Never allow the pressure
to go over ten pounds.

Flashlights.

Nobody ever made a real sue
cess Of the other fellows bust

It's human nature to 60 to
some swell cafe to study human
nature, where everything except
what is real human nature can
be found.
A virtue that Is boosted Of Is
usually a very new possession.
A man can live down vicious
past, but q fellow is q fool to
handicap himself to that ex-
tent.
No man Is strong enough to
carry a grudge and do justice
to himself, too.
Being a good fellow downtown
is all right enough in its, way,
but save q little Of your good

A woman never understands
why q lot of other women's
husbands can make fortunes out
Of stocks and mines and real

even get raise in salary.

Longing.

Sometimes I wish that / could go
Along the paths I used to know.
Could go back there and find some kit
And go along the roads did
When I had not q single care,
And all life's skies were bright and fair,
And birds sung in the wayside tree,
And all the world seemed made for me.
That's what I think I'd love to do!
Go find little tad knew
Away back there, and we would go
Where water lilies used to grow,
And bend pin and fix a line,
Me and this old-time chum Of mine,
And sit until the light grew dim
Where little sunfish used to swim.
Those were the days when bullheads bit.
And sunfish-why, life seemed to At
Us like a garment, and we slid,
Myself and that remembered kid,
From one Joy to another. So,
Sometimes, ! wish that I might go
And look about and find that tad
And be with him once more, and glad.

have, the wilder they usually are.
"Schupp has wonderful poise. He
never let's the batter work him. He
keeps the upper hand all the time.
Unless you sit here and watch every
ball he throws you cannot appreciate
the wonder of his work.
HE sat around on the bench long
time, but it didn't do him any harm.
This is really his first year as a regu-
lar, but he knows all the tricks Of a
veteran Of half dozen years Of
twirling.
II don't want to seem extravagant
in my praise, but If there has ever
been Schupp's equal in recent years he
has escaped my notice. I wouldn't
give him for any pitcher In baseball
today If he were my property"
