GENERAL PRINCIPLES TO BE USED IN PLANNING AND PRE-
 PAIRING WAR MENUS.

1. Avoid fried foods, thereby con, serving the fat supply and promoting greater ease of digestion
 ,. Use cooked breakfast foods such as mush, oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat. etc. in the place of the more expensive prepared" foods, such as corn flakes, puffed rice. etc.
 8 Use skinned milk for the adults and whole milk for the chil- dren.
 Cook all vegetables so as to conserve the mineral. Cook potatoes with their jackets on. Never discard the liquor in which vegetables have been cooked. Use it for soups and white sauce.
 D In preparing dried foods wash them and put them 10 soak When ready 10 cook, use the water for cook ing i'll which the soaking has taken place Otherwise the food materials in the water in which the food is pIumped are lost
 6. Meat should be used very spar inglyZ The cheaper tougher cuts may be purchased and ground in q meat chopper at home Do not buy the Hamburger" or meat loaf already prepa rcd. Do not use veal or imma- ture poultry for foods. Instead. use fish mature poultry. rabbits. etc., fl one feels the need oi meat. Raan5 neaS. cheese. milk. eggs. mus. ets.. are the preferable substitutes.
 :. tse less wheat-if wheat four is employed, use only the graham four made Of the entire wheat grain Shorts. middlings and bran make I very good bread
 S. Use less sugar. Leave cakes our Of the menus. and especially the rich frosted cakes. Use. instead, hard fruit cookies containing raisins, prunes dates, etc. which contain the natural rru.. sugar.

 We journey along, never stopping to think, using judgment about like an OK. spending money and time and accomplishing naught making haste for the rough wooden box.

tempted any wholesale changes. They have chosen only a comparative few of the horrible examples to submit to the process of simplification, and they have secured the adoption of these by about 200 newspapers and peril odicals. The Literary Digest and The Independent are among the prominent publications which have adopted some of the sinplified forms. while it is said that about 40 daily newspapers, some of them enjoying a large circulation, have adopted some or all of the simplified spell ings recommended by the board.
 While the propaganda of the board may hasten the day of simplified spelling, the general adoption of such a reform is bound to be slow in com ing. It is necessary only to read a book or newspaper of two centuries ago to realize that already a great advance has been made. AYnumber of simplified forms have been adopt ed in the United States which are not

As an example, take the word check" That spelling is prac- tically universal in Uncle Sans coun- try, but Canadians as a rule continue to write it "cheque.'' Even this is simplifcation, however, as the old spelling was "checque.'' "Jewelry" is now universal in the United States, >but Jewellery" maintains it's hold in England and most of her colonies. Americans have found that a wagon gets along as we'll with one ''g' es with two. These are but few of many examples which / might be cited.
 Some people are inclined to laugh at the Simplified Spelling Board. and to ridicule it's efforts. As a matter of fact, it is only, attempting to hurry the inevitable. English ortho srarrv is slowly but surely changing, as it has been for centuries past and these changes are always toward simpler l forms.

and the ruix, the cruiser Jurien de la
 Graviere and other French colony. finally found Hdmiral Marliaive in
 the cabin of his ship. His sympathies were immediately enlisted for the Serbian children. I told him so far that the difficulty appeared to me to be the divided authority between England and French, and that the Serbian children were under Ameri- can ptotection. This had resulted in no arrangement having yet been made for their removal, though ad- vised by French naval authorities to go.
 He told me that Command Ri-
 guad and Capt. Clergeau had already taken steps; that a French hospital ship was expected to exacuate the
 Russian hospital at the Piraeus and that he would provide accommoda- tion on that ship for the Serbian Or phanage and personnel.
 It was after ' D. m. and already l moonlight, and Mime. Gruich and I l walked back to Phalerop. We were l in good spirits at the Adnira1's prom | ise of the hospital ship, but a disap- | pointment awaited us. An hour after left the Admiral superior orders had come. The hospital ship was to evacuate the Russian hospital with 1 it's Allied wounded al Piraeus or Sal onica, not Marseilles. Capt.

THE SIMPLIFIED SETTLERS.

It was just Il years ago to-day that the Simplified Spelling Board-or, more consistently, the Simplified Spelling Bord-was organized and launched it's campaign ito promote the gradual and progressive simplica- ton of English spelling by emitting silent letters, and following the sim pier rather than the more complex of lthe present analogies.'' The pro paganda has gained a number of dis tinguished sympathizers - Andrew Carnegie and Dr. Brander Matthews being among the most prominent. It has made some headway in the United States, but it's propaganda has had but slight effect in Canada, and practically none at all in the tight little island where the language which it is sought to reform has it's native habitat.
 { The spelling reformers have not at-
