T only permanent school of prac-

lleA-I in this country is the Mason
House in Washington, which
MAR has been presented to the
HSAkr&- Women's Section of the Navy
League.
IN and out of it walk from early morning un-
I'll late at night women of all ages-women who
have driven up in automobiles, and women who,
after closing hours, come from the workshops
and factories.
The Mason House shows clearly the demo
cratic welding of war. All these women have
out one idea-to help their country-and they
are ready to sit together side by side and learn
how.
Glasses given are: First aid, elementary hy
giene and home care of the sick, dietetics and
pecial preparation of sick diets-all under the
Red Cross; knitting and plain sewing, including
The making of socks, mufflers and other neces-
sjties. according to Red Cross standard require
ments.
Wireless and radio work is taught under the
direction of a chief electrician of the United
States navy. There are also classes IN MILL
tary calisthenics and drill, under the direction
Of a chief uuartermaster of the United States
navy; signal work, wigwagging and soma
phore, as well as plain telegraphy on regular
instruments.
Every Saturday morning Mason House IS
turned over to schoolgirls between the ages OF
Twelve and eighteen, who are taught anything
hey may wish to learn, just as are their big
sisters.
The classes are open to all American women
over sixteen years of age None of the courses
is compulsory, and students may select one or
all of the studies without payment OF more
than the original enrolment fee Of 81 and tul-
ton at the rate Of SO monthly.
was told that the most earnest request OF
the Mason House is that all students not quail
fed in the making of surgical dressings should
include this course first in their programme
This is a significant fact, showing the first plea
of the government in relation to woman's work
The dietetic classes teach all that concerns
food in war time, for the sick and we'll

women gave them to take on their journey

SOME FACTS ABOUT CERTAIN FOOD SUBSTITUTE

spots do not slip into the pail in the process
of breaking and drying. But when, by using
a starch mixture we substitute for the pc
culiar nutrtional value Of the egg merely its
one physical quality of thickening, obviously
we send a poor substitute to fight for the
bodys health and rebuilding.
1t is all right to cut down on the eggs in
cake, if you must. We do not eat cake pri-
marily as a constructive building food. We
eat it for pleasure and its heat and energy
value
But the egg, with its easily available al
bumen, its fats, its lecithn ard vital qualities,
from which the chicken is builded complete and
which has been used successfully ammu-
milton against the tuberculosis bacilli, and to
strengthen and build up children and invalids,
is not lightly to be replaced because its price
goes up.

Headquarters in Washington O be Women'' Section Of
The Navy League, Where Women Are Taught
to Make Their Patriotism Efficient

"The hurried movement of troops imme-
diately preceding and during a war finds large
numbers of men far in advance of their supply
trains. They may or may not have rations IN
their haversacks; meals, especially coffee and
tea, are at times difficult to prepare. Sometimes
this happens from lack Of time; sometimes
from lack of material. 1t is then that appeals
are made on very short notice to people living
near where the troops are temporarily resting
to supply lunches, coffee, etc.
"How many women have any idea how much
of any article is needed to supply one thousand
or many thousands-men for one meal or
one day."
1t seemed terrifying proposition, yet it is
only one of the problems of women's prepared
ness" for war.
even our practical French sisters" my
guide continued, "had no idea how to deal with
such problems; they were as helpless as the
men managing the canteens. One of our work
ers, who had been in France, tells of little
old lady who happened to have knowledge Of
the subject She was sent around the whole
country to teach the women how to cater for
the men quartered on them"
One fact that was proudly impressed on me
was that the United States marines have been
found to be the best fed soldiers in the world
and under the most economic plan!
The Mason House teaches its pupils that
there are five different rations; Garrison ra-
ton, travel ration, field ration, reserve ration
and emergency ration.
instruction is of a purely practical charac-
ter, and it is interesting to learn that when
troops are quartered in towns for number Of
days and have to be fed by the townspeople

The day Of egg substitutes and egg powders
has virtually passed, for Uncle Sam has set
his ponderous foot squarely down on the propo-
stion that mixture of cornstarch, harmless
coloring matter and baking powder can be
called an egg substitute, even if it contains
also little dried white Of egg.
WHY EGG SUBSTITUTES" CANNOT

Gated eggs, which are legitimate if the rots and

~ u pany, and the mere dlcuonary
g. definition doesn't cover the
A case Mr. Webster tells US that
EAAE a substitute is something that
ez1E3&-JI takes the place of another-or
serves in lieu of another.
Plainly, you can put one thing in the place
Of another and not have it take that place ade-
ouately at all And this too often has been
done-accompanied by extravagant and I'M
meaning praise of the inferior article.
Thinking of substitute" in its military sense
illustrates this, and one of DR.. Wiey's favorite
protests in speaking Of some Of the food substi
tutes offered commercially was to ask whether
man with one leg and one arm could substi-
tute satisfactorily in the ranks for whole
man built according to natural specifications.
IT IS BEST TO KNOW HOW sUBsTI-
TUTES ARE MADE, AND WHY
In the same way, substituting" starch and
Yeast powder for eggs, oleo for butter, cereal
beverages for coffee, mixed grains for whole
wheat and the like, while it may be permissible
or even advisable for economic reasons, should
always be done knowingly with the eyes wide
open and with full understanding Of just
what Is gained and lost by the exchange.
Sometimes you lose only in flavor, delicious
ness and appetizing qualities by taking the
cheaper product And these substitutions are
the most desirable from an economic and d.
ctetic point Of view
Though appetzing qualities promote di-
gestibility and the loss is not one TO be ignored
nevertheless, il there must be economy, sub
stituting cottonseed oil at fifty-two cents
Quart for olive oil at ninety-iye cents
quart, or mixing them in any proportion that
he taste and the pocketbook may suggest,
IS a legitimate economy that costs one moth
ing, 20 far as nutrition is concerned. Some
think that the cottonseed oil makes mayon-
naiss of smoother and creamer texture and
that, If q certain proportion of olive oil is
used, and the dressing is well seasoned, there
is very little loss, even as 10 taste. Some peo-
pie actually prefer less Of the olive oil favor.
WHY oLEo IS NOT A PERFECT sUBsTI-
TUTE FOR BUTTER
But when we come 20 substituting CLEO for
butter, we have q different problem. Not
only is the olco, unless fair percentage Of the
butter is mixed with It., decidedly lacking in
favor. but the animal Fat cf the butter is
known 10 have ngtrtional and growth-pro-
noting value that the vegetable fats do not
have
