"The Blue Danube"

+. G.--The other day learned to my
disappointment from an item in your
paper that Vienna was not exactly To-
Gated on the Blue Danube. as generally
taught in geography. Now, | wonder
whether. at least. the beautiful "blue"
color attributed 10 the Danube is we'll
established fact.
For years we have been speaking Of,
singing and even dancing "The Beauti-
tul Blue Danube Now. this blueness
Of the river proves another camoufage,
invented by the waltz king Strauss. As
a matter of fact, the Danube is not blue
at all. It's color changes according to
the height of its waters. II it is high
it shows a brown, yellowish. dirty green
or light green color; if low. il assumes
grass green, steel green. emerald
green and dark green color.

Bread

II. Win view OF the scarcity and
consequent high cost of all articles Of
food. I'd like to know il, when il comes
TO the worst, person could not live
exclusively on bread?
No, and this for the simple reason
that bread does not contain a sufi-
cient quantity of albumen needed BY
the organism. An analysis Of bread
goes 10 show that it contains a rela-
lively large amount Of water, /. e., over
40 ner cent. but a relatively small
quantity Of nitrogenous compounds
yiz. 10 S per cent. OF fats it gener-
allv contains very little, but of sub
stances free Of nitrogen. such as
starch. large quantities. From this it
follows that bread can by no means be
.food.p but at best an aliment.

Butter Unknown
Throughout Italy

Strange 20 relate, France seems 70
have q more abundant supply OF food
than any other nation. The bread is
black, but it !. plentiful. One is not
restricted in the use OF sugar. Aside
from the blackness Of the bread, the
occasional absence Of potatoes, and q
couple OF mestless days each week on.
would not know that France wa. ,uf-
fering in the least or taking any severe
measures TO prevent a famine Eng.
land takes the most severe measures.
Italy next, France least OF all.
The most noticeable feature Of the
food situation in Italy is the total
absence Of butter. Though I went
from one end Of that land 20 the other
and visited practically every city in Il,
was never able 20 find so much a.
one ounce of butter-eNcept, indeed.
when | met two English nurses who
were carrying a mustard bottle filed
with butter about with them. | have
never cared much for butter and sl-
ways supposed that to be denied Il
would constitute no sacrifice 70 me.
yet when | had TO live without i. lts
absence annoyed me no LITTLE.
These are but a few OF the sacri.
fees that the people Of Europe are
making in the matter Of food conserya-
tion. And they make them willingly
and cheerfully; nowhere in Europe
will one ever hear a word Of protest
against the restrictions.
Such severe restrictions are precsu-
tionary and do not indicate those ma
tions are "bled white" They are max
ing sure they will not be "bled white
But these seventies arc mild com

nothing of the condition OF the Ar

n HOST Of the people Of The United
lN States do not seem 20 realize
that our country is at var.
when America is at war IL means that
the American people are at war; II
means that there rests upon the
shoulders Of individual Americans the
weight Of heavy responsibility end
that the call is upon them for the
making of the greatest sacrifices. lt
i, therefore extremely necessary that
our people wake up 70 the fact that
the country is drawn into the most
devastating war Of all history with
the most ruthless foe that the world
knows. For. unles. We realize this as
q vital fact We will not be prepared
20 shoulder our responsibilities and
make our sacrifices. and, unless We do
shoulder our responsibilities and
make our sacrifices this war cannot
be won.
We are dealing to-day with the
problem OF food conservation. ne
government has tried to impress upon
US the necessity Of sacrifice in this
regard. The people have responded
nobly, a, rule, yet some have not
responded. In every section Of the
country there are pro-Germans who
have refused to sign the food pledge.
But this is not the worst; in every
section there are Americans who have
refused. And why do they refuse? |
have heard their excuses. They do
not want to "fool with it," They have
no time 70 think about IL. They never
sign any pledges, but will do the best
they can. They do not understand its
details.
II We could understand how insignifi-
cant are the sacrifices asked OF US in
the matter of food conservation in com
psri.on TO those willingly made by the
people of Europe perhaps It would give
US a different attitude and make our
burdens" seem lighter.

Inqratitude


" How do you account for the

that springs from the wounded PRIDE OF

ception. but the rule. from the hoarlest
antiquity down to the present time OF

Why? II is simply Impossible 70 ac-
count for the fact, and all that can be
said is that ingratitude has always eX-

II [ were Fairy Godmother,
would wave my wand and say to all
mothers, Love what you have TO do
Children's wants are so numerous and
a mother has such constant demands
made upon her that she needs TO re-
tire within herself often, and no mat
ter how tired she may feel repeat
again and again, 81 love what have
20 do" Then suddenly she will feel
better. and it becomes easier TO go on
with the task of caring for and train
ing the children. II pays in dollars
and cents, as we'll as in peace OF mind
and satisfaction OF spirit, to devote
much thought toward starting the chill
dren right.
What are some of the simple ways
in which we can help our little ones!
Let US begin the day happily, no mat
ter how we feel. and never be dis
couraged nor allow the children TO pc
come so. Together, mothers and emil
dren can learn 10 be honest, obedlent
and faithful.
First Make Him Healthy
II should not be forgotten that a.!
virtues thrive best in healthy body.
Therefore give the child plenty OF
fresh air, have him sleep in a well
ventilated room, wear clean, Whole
clothes. and eat simple food.
Let the children take hold and help
about the house a little. Az four and
a hall years old they can wash dishes,
and they love TO do so. An oilcloth
zpron will keep them dry. They can
also help make beds. brush up crumbs
and do many other things. But We
must not nag the children az their
tasks. remembering that interest in
useful work may be most successfully
developed BY keeping II in the realm
OF the play spirit.
Let US teach our children 10 be
gentle OF voice and manner, because
such a hearing attracts good friends.
whereas roughness drives people away.
We have churches and schools 20
help US, but il comes hack every time
20 the parents and the home 20 de-
yelop in the children the simple prsc
tices which lead TO right and happy
living.

Newfoundland Grinds
Flour for First Time

ST. JOHNS, y. f., Dec. 1.-The first
-four ever ground in Newfoundland
has just come from the mill. Although
wheat has been ripened occasionally in
previous years under exceptionally ia
vorsble conditions, the grain has been
fed to poultry.
This year, under the impetus Of the
general movement in the interest of
homegrown foodstufs, some very
hardy wheat seed was obtained from
the northern sections of Western
Canada and planted in the western sec
tion OF the colony. which has the most
fertile soil on the island A sufficiently
large quantity was matured TO justify
the importing of a secondhand grist
mill from Nova Scotia.

Allotments of 10000 tons of steel
