How TO Save Food
Suggested by Mrs. W, W. Bolts

Suggested by Mrs. W, W. Bolts
When Tuesday comes, say, mo
wheat for us today" Serve oatmeal
or rice cakes for breakfast instead Of
wheat cereal. Have corn bread OF
corn mullins for dinner, corn pone,
barley soup or musl and milk for
supper.
For Wednesday say, "No meat in our
home" Have eggs for breakfast,
bread dipped in eggs fried, with corn
syrup, no bacon.
Serve bean soup n pea soup, also
spaghetti, with tomato sauce, or with
macaroni and cheese, or rice with gi0-
let's instead of meat. They all have
tie same food value as meat. OF
course fish and chicken are all right
to eat, as they cannot be shipped.
Do not forget that one spoonful Of
sugar saved by each person every day
would be enough saving to provide our
boys with sugar they need. Rememb-
Der they must have fat and sugar to
produce heat in their bodies to keep
them warm. So when saving wheat
and meat do not forget the sugar and
fats. Let every household feel that
they are doing this much at least to
help our boys win the war.

There are even some people of

the German-American citizens who,
for the greater part, n loyal to the
country which affords them protee-

Only a few refused to sign the

Of this Government we should be will

THE ENEMIES OF OUR

DURING a war the enemies of theii
country at home cause more trouble
than the opposing army fighting in

when they are sacrificing life to that

in their hearts, they look at the more
conspicuous happenings; and it Seems
that radicalism is pretty largely dis.
serviceable to their cause.
"Now ordinarily radicalism is SER
viceable; but a good deal of it - and
that, often, the more CONSPICUOUS por-
ton - is but lightly anchored to fact.
Much of it is simply a non-comforting
temperament - i~nvetrately puggna-
cious, as in La Follette's case, or in
veterately critical. War, presenting
a vast, unavoidable fact and supreme
ly demanding conformity, tends %
make it disserviceable. In this couu-
try, at any rate, it is by way of ac.
quiring a popular ~disrepute."

German Government itself to the Of
t~en-denied reports that young girls
of Alsace-L Lorraine have been carried

labor for the German Army.
From Switzerland yesterday came a
cable report Of the reply made by the
German Undersecretary for War to a
complaint Of an AIsatian Deputy in
the Reichstag against mistreatment
Of these girls.
The Governments reply took the
form Of an offician communiquc,
which, in substance, stated that the
army administration had taken meas
ures to assure the girls requistioned in

ployed in work at the front the benc-

in Hertfordshire and see how it
worked.
Shepherds Farm was easy enough
to find for it is well known in the
neighborhood as being up to date
We turned into the barn yard just as
the hands were coming up to the
house for dinner. We watched Their.
come up the lanes in their green and
red two wheeled carts; some were
girls in boots and smocks with brigh.
bandannas tied around their heads,
some were released soldiers, and some
we were told afterward, were consci-
entious DIRECTORS.
Then ! recognized our girl friend,
She drove right past us, never took
a bit of notice, led her great horse
into the stables and started toward
the granery to get the feed. She
gave instructions to another hand
about the care of a sick horse. She
strobe into its stall, turned up its
eyelid, showed her finger in its
mouth, and then pulling down its
huge head on her shoulder she strok-
ed its ears. All the time she was
asking questions about it and fin
ally she came out telling the other
girl to keep on stroking its ears to
get it warm.
Then she caught sight of us. She
was as surprised as / had been to see
her in town, but she didn't stop her
work. We went along with her to
measure out the grain for the stock.
As we got back TO the stable, the far
mer rode up on a smart cob. The
girl stepped forward quickly. took
the horses rein, and when her mas
ter had dismounted, led the horse into
! its stall and fed it.
We had a long chat with the farmer
who constantly referred to the girl for
dates and figures concerning the
crops and the land. She took from
her breeches pocket a neat little leath-
er book in which she had notes about
her special work; she knew when
the first potatoes had been planted,
when the first shipment had been
made and exactly what the yield had
been per acre.
Finally she accompanied US along
the fields toward the hillside where
her friend, the shepherdess, was
tending her flocks.
When we parted the girl returned
to the farm house for dinner and we
climbed the hill beyond broad potato
fields toward a laurel copse where a
flock of four hundred sheep were
grazing.
At first we saw nobody, then strid-
ing along, her dog at heel, came the
shepherd lass, a crooked staff over
her shoulder. She was bareheaded
and her heavy bronze coils shone in
the pale sunshine. Over her rough
green smock she, wore a heavy gunny
sack apron and she told US how she had
to treat her sheep for foot and green
fly infection. She showed how she
picked them up and carried them to
the fold.
"Did you know anything about
sheep before the war;"
"0h, no. / was studying art in
Paris hal summer. / came home 70
be brought out in society. / had just
one dance and next thing ] knew my
brother was gone to France and ]
was learning to milk and tend cat
tle."
She waved US goodbye from the lau-
rel copse then turned back toward
her flock and her solitary watch
through the still October afternoon.
These are the sort Of girls that Eng
lishmen at the front are thinking
! about. Your loving NAN.
