The most practical means Of reducing
table expenses without decreasing the
wholesomeness and adequacy OF the diet
lies In increased use OF cereal foods, es-
pccially boiled grains. mushes and
breads made OF cornmeal and cereals
other than wheat.
Cereals contain most Of the impor-
tant food elements which the body
needs and yet are comparatively mex
pcnsive. They are primarily source
OF starch needed by the body to yield
energy. They furnish also considerable
quantities OF protein, one OF the most
important and usually one Of the most
expensive food elements needed TO build
the body and keep 1t In repair. In ad-
dition. cereals furnish mineral matter,
fats. fiber and, especially IL part Of the
bran IL left In, little-known substances
which regulate bodily activities.
II cereals are to be made more I'm
portant feature OF the diet, mushes and
boiled grains, as well as baked coughs,
should be eaten In greater quantity.
Practically any of the cereals may be
used In making some type Of bread.
Wheat has been most used because It's
gluten makes possible the raising OF
the dough with yeast. Flours and
meals Of the other grains, however,
may be made into baking powder

''The operations will probably be sen
sational enough to call for a spread
story"
Upon this hint looked up Shenstone
in the "morgue," as we call the great
collection Of clippings arranged in en-.
velopes and carefully catalogued that
every important newspaper keeps for
reference. There was an envelope
marked "Shenstone, Edgar, Broker"
but its contents were disappointing. !
was particularly grieved to learn that
we had no portrait, and after various
unsuccessful attempts to procure one I
sent a photographer to snapshot Mr..
Shenstone, but he failed.
In the course of that week a writer
named Sidney Colbert called to see me
and asked for work. He was a genius
In his way, but entirely useless on a
newspaper. His vocation was litera-
ture and he had written some very
good stuff that had been printed in the
best magazines, but he had no money
sense, no push and no aptitude for en-
during poverty.
I don't know how it happened, but
somehow in the course of breaking to
Sidney the sad news that he must con-
tinue to starve because neither the
Daily Record nor any other human In
stitution had any use for him men,
toned the unsuccessful search for
Shenstone's portrait. Thereupon Sid
ney fell into deep thought. The fur
rows by which his handsome counte-
nance was wrecked and riven became
positively painful to behold, and he
maintained so long silence that l be-
gan to think of ways to be rid OF him.
Suddenly he said:
II can get you likeness OF Mr..
shenstone." And then, with earnest
ness, III l give You my word that I
will not fail will you-er-cOuld you
"Well"
II suppose" he said In gasping des-
"that you might be willing to
pay as much as s. for the portrait,

French Forces in Vosges Mountains Repulse Ger mans in Terrific Battle.
 Fighting in Flanders
By Associated Press

On the Italian front the Italian line in the north has stiffened under the rein forcements it has received from the British and French. Even the German official communication does not mention any further retire ment by the Italians, but on the contrary admits that east of Asiago, where the Austro-G Germans made gains last week, the Italians, in strong force, attacked the invaders and recaptured lost positions. The Italians took about 100 prisoners.
 In the Sugana valley an enemy ad- vance guard was captured.
 Along the middle and southern reaches of the Piava the Italians are holding their line tenaciously, al- though they have been forced to give up the 'idor bridgehead, northeast of Treviso, after having fought de- laying battle in which they had time to blow up the bridge crossing the stream.
 The Germans Sunday made no attempts
 to recapture the ground taken from
 them by the British last week in the re-
 zion of Passchendaele contenting them
 selves merely with the bombardment of
 the newly won line. A heavy rainfall
 prevented the British from extending
 their gain. Bombardments and minor at-
 tacks have predominated on the remain
 der of the western front. except near Hartmanns, Weilerwopf in the vosges
 mountains, where in a violent battle the French completely repulsed the Germans. At one point the Germans succeeded in entering the French observation line. but in hand-to-hand encounter they were almost immediately driven out The Ger man official communication says that S7 French chasseurs were made prisoners 1 by them during the fighting. In Palestine the British forces under General Allenby continue to make prog 1 ress against the Turks. who are being aided by German and Austrian gunners. 1 During the latter part of last week sev- l eral more towns and villages were cap- ] tured on the 600 square mile battle field, l in addition to numerous guns and many 1 prisoners East of Gaza a large enemy 1 force was defeated after violent fight, and 12 guns, three machine guns and 100 1 prisoners were captured.
