Food VS.. Expense

Food VS.. Expense.
A great deal is being written just
now about conservation of food, and
among the tons of advice on the sub
| ject it is difficult for the average
housekeeper to formulate any plan
by which she may regulate her food
expense to meet the ever-rising cost
of living.
With the REVEALING high prices of
all foodstuffs and the war situation
confronting US, every effort should
be made to conserve every eatable
and nutritious particle of food. The
wish to arrive at some short and cas-
lily understood set of rules for elm
mating waste of foodstuffs and yet
to furnish a satisfying and nourish-
ing dietary has given rise to vari-
ETY. of suggestions.
The Bureau Of Home Economics of
the New York Association for I'm
proving the condition of the Poor, in
leaflet written by a food expert,
suggests the following comprehensive
plan to get the best results in spend
ing money for food:
81. Spend from one-fourth to one
third of your food money for bread,
cereals, macaroni and rice.
"2. Buy at least from third to a
half quart of milk a day for each
member of the family.
"3. Spend as much for fruits and
vegetables together as you do for
milk. If you use one half quart of
milk for each person this may not
always be possible. If not, spend as
much for vegetables and fruits as
one-third of a quart of milk would
amount to.
"a. Spend not more for meat and
eggs than for vegetables and fruits.
Meat and eggs may be decreased with
less harm than any of the other
foods mentioned. The amount spent
for meat may decrease as the amount
for milk increases"
Cases have been known where per-
sons have gained in health and weight
on less food because the food was
combined and portioned scientifically.
knowledge of these facts will pre-
vent not only useless expenditure of
money, but much sickness as we'll.

evening the Bemidji high school team

a score of II to Is. Although out

PARK Rapids team put up 9 good

GERMANY i(il[ SHOWNo
IN HER TRUELIGH1

Washington, March 1.-Germany,
in planning unrestricted submarine
warfare and counting its consequent
ces, proposed an alliance with Mex
leo and Japan to make war on the
United States, if this country should
not remain neutral.
Japan, through Mexican medla-
ton, was to be urged to abandon her
allies and join in the attack on the
United States.
Mexico, for her reward, was to re-
ceive general financial support from
Germany, re-conquer Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona-lost provinces
and share in the victorious peace
terms Germany contemplated.
Details were left to German Min
lister Won Eckhardt in Mexico City,
who by instructions signed by Ger
man Foreign Minister Zimmerman,
at Berlin, January 10, 1917, was d.
rected to propose the alliance with
Mexico to General CarranZa and sug-
gest that Mexico seek to bring Japan
into the plot.

ALL Of Bemtdji and YOU and EV-
ERYBODY else is wanted.

midi is the best little city on the

nual trip to view that part Of the
United States. wherein their annual
meeting is held, travelling in special
trains, and this year about 600 will
make the trip, many accompanied BY
their wives and members Of their
families.
Going to Vancouver.
The party will leave Minneapolis

pulling hard for them to pay visit.
Hibbing, Virginia and Duluth Will
be next on the itinery and also many
other cities and points of interest In
the great and coming northwest. :, -

In most of the cities where the

midi the party will stop here dav
and be shown over Bemidji and its
surroundings, and the newspaper men
from throughout the country Will
have ample opportunity to see Be-
midji and sing it's praises to the en-
tire nation.

tourists and sightseers can be in
duced to come to Bemidji as the COM

committee and make good for them
when they made their decision.
AND BEM1DJI CAN DO 1T WITH

nartment said SO far as known the
letter written by Foreign Secretary

was certain there would be a break
in war with the United tSates. 1t
is also cited that this had not devel-
oped when Won BernstOrff left the

Secretary Lansing thinks Mexico
would ignore such a proposal on ac-
count of friendly relations. .
The state department refused to
give out the source of the letter lest
some lives be endangered, but added
full evidence was had that the letter
had reached Won BernstQrf and also

HON. w. |. NOLAN.

Hon. W. l. Nolan, who is to lee
ture here on the third afternoon OF
| Chautauqua, had his first experience
with a large audience in 1894, when
| the National League of Republican
Clubs held a convention in Mime
apolis with the then President Will
liam Mckinley as principal speaker.
Mr.. Nolan was requested to appear
on the platform with Mr. Mckinley,
and give a humorous recitation des-
cribing the woes of an Irishman who
had voted for Clevelshd. There were
5000 people presens and Nolan made
a great hit.
He was invited to participate in
the following campaign, and has been
in politics ever since. He was call
ed upon to speak at many conven-
lions in Minneapolis, and in this
way was heard by people from other
parts of the country. AS a result
he received other invitations to
speak, and soon found himself a
professional entertainer and lecturer.
Mr.. Nolan has been on the plat
form now constantly during the last
twenty years as a lecturer, enter
teiner. humorist and reformer.

AT THE EMMA THEATRE
THURSDAY, MAY 81
THE EYES OF THE WORLD.

In the. presentation of 'The Eyes
OF the World" all records for NOV
ing pictures in Salt Lake have been
shattered.
The picture which has attracted
crowded houses to the Strand the
atre at each show seems to lose
none of it's hold on popular desire
and bookings for outside territory
have been made for months in ad-
vance.
Sixteen thousand persons paid to
IseS the picture last week, this con-
shutting a record in the city, ac-
cording ITO theatre officials.
1t is stated that the presentation
clearly proves that the public will
pay an advanced price to witness
good picture. II also proves that
there is a demand for the high
grade product of the film studios,
and although the industry is prac-
tically in it's infancy, the indica-
ton is that as the art advances the
people will pay any price in reason,
for there is a constant and growing
demand for the best in every field.
The desire of the public must be
met and tn result will be that more
and more stars of the legitimate
stage will be drawn into the moving
picture vortex. While the spoken
drama has its adherents, it cannot
BIS denied that the moving pictures
are becoming more and more popular
With the public clamoring for high
class presentations, persons of the
best histrionic talent will be obtain
ed, for it is plainly written that
there must be a supply irrespective
of what expenses are involved.
In THE Eyes of the World there
is the outstanding fact that talent
has combined to please and attract.
Only few more days remain toI
see this great picture. AS stated
before, it conveys a message, and
for this reason alone is we'll worth
seeing irrespective of the wonder

sodes assembled to give "life"to a

one hand upon his knee, his eyes

and stride to and fro again, very
plain, a very ordinary looking man.
But presently change comes over
him; harmonies appear in his spesch
