Kitchen

ism of the right kind" says Mabel
Ward, professor Of home economics at
State college, because this is an eff
fective method of stretching ont a
short food supply. The first good rule
to adopt in the kitchen is that abso-
lutely no food is to be thrown away"
To do this, will mean careful PLAN
ming, ~disregarding individual whims
of children, and the use of leftover
foods in attractive dishes. Miss Ward
further suggests that waste may also
be presented by simplicity of refresh
ments when entertaining. People
get enough food at their own tables
and a large outlay Of food as a sim
pie luxury in entertaining should be
looked down upon rs distinctly bad
form. Probably the best way that
women can help in the production Of
food is to make a resolve that no COM
mercial canned food shall enter their
homes. All vegetables such as peas,
beans, corn, asparagus, tomatoes, and
all meats may be quickly and easily
canned at home. Fruit is scarce and
not a particle should be wasted. 1t is
worth while even to can a few cups of
Strawberries left from a meal since
this canning may be done SO quickly
and easily. Full directions for can
ming may be obtained from the ex-
tension division Of the state college.
AS women we should realize our grave
responsibility as guardians OF the ma
tons food supply. Let US accept this
responsibility with an earnestness
an Intelligence worthy of our alleg.

TWO OBJECTS ARE SOUGHT
IN FRENCH RELIEF WORK

The American Red Cross assumes
that the work done by the organza-
ton with the French must fill funda-
mentally two requirements:
First-That all activities contribute
to the successful conduct Of the war.
Second-That they relieve suffering
caused by the war.
Work done with the civil population
may have more important bearing
on the military situation even than
work done with the forces, for men in
the field will be able to carry out their
work better with the knowledge that
those lot at home are being taken
care OF.
Ii the American people can get a
real picture Of the misery among those
who have been and are being daily
driven out Of their homes and dumped
in poverty upon other parts of the
country, oftentimes i'll or mutilated,
they will gladly do all in their power
to help.

THE UNDRAFTED ARMY

To the civilian American who feels
a keen desire to be represented as d.
rcctly as possible in his country's serv-
peculiar force. For the Red Cross
worker comes into the closest contact
with the actual struggle that is posi-
bic TO any save the soldier himself.
On the heels of death and destruction
he presses so closely in his mission OF
mercy as to be almost a part OF the
battle. His are the hands that first
minister to the shattered body; his
the ears that hear the last faint mes
cage OF many a parting soul. Through
the further help of these brothers and
sisters Of the Novitiate of Pain. life
after life Is drawn back from the Dor
derland; cleanliness and comfort and
trained care lessen the anguish, or,
when death must be, makes easier the
passing. To our boys when they land
on foreign soil the hand of greeting
is held out; as they travel from place
to place comforts are provided. The
Scared and broken remnant OF a peo-
pie scourged by a ruthless devastation
the aged and the women and the
piteouSly helpless children to whom
our longing sympathy gees out, the
Red Cross ministers to these in our
stead
In all this and measureless other
service these workers are vital and
onnipresent force. We who are left
at home may work by proxy through
them. We can keep them there and
send others, with our money, the least
precious possession that men and
women are being called on to give up.
Cur dollars can take US there In spirit
and represent us in accomplishment,
The little red button Is the badge Of
