MASTERS Take Warning.

The food waste in the United
States is estimated by dietary ex'
perts at about S70O,OOO,OOO pei
year.
An average slice of bread contains
three.quarters of an ounce of flour.
If each American family wastes
only one slice per day, it means
that $4,000 pounds of fotr are be-
ing destroyed every twenty-foul
hours, or enough to bake a billion
one-pound loaves of bread. At this
rate the wheat yield of 100000
acres would be lost. Stale bread
may be utilized in many ways by
thrifty housekeepers, ranging from
the savory bread pudding to pan
cakes made of crumbs.
If every housekeeper in the
country wastes an ounce of meat
per day, the aggregate loss is 9,l0O'
900 pounds each week.
Finicky eaters are to be dis.
conraged. They insist upon stand,
ard meat cuts and staple vegetables.
They will not try new dishes,
Thousands who had never tasted
boiled rice found it palatable when
the price of potatoes became pro,
hibitive last winter.
Great waste is due to bad pre-,
paration and poor cooking. 1t is
estimated that careless pairing des-
troys fully one-ffth of the food
value of potatoe. The best min,
eral salts lie near the tuber's skin.
Overeating is a frequent source
of waste among the rich, and also
in families of moderate means.
Many persons consume more food
than the body needs, making for ill
health and sluggishness. rather
than energy,
Many housekeepers buy too much
and throw away the excess, making
no attempt to use the left-overs.
Too large portions are served, the
remnants going to the discard.
Careless or unframed cooks throw
away nourishing food in the shape
of skim milk, sour milk, gravy, or
melted fat and water in which
cereals or vegetables have been
cooked.
Careless handling wastes much
food, from the time it leaves the
farm until it reaches the corner
grocery-store. For instance, 49,,
100000 dozens of eggs spoil annual
ly in cold storage, owing to slight
ly cracked shells.
High-priced foods are fed to
apimals-even to useless creatures
like lap-dogs.
You do not need to leave your
home to help our armed forces,'
said David F. Houston, Secretary
of Agriculture, in recent address
to the women of the country.
Every ounce of food you save
from being wasted is so much gain
ed for the worlds insufficient sup.

well-balanced meals, and do not en-
courage overeating or offer waste.

SAN SALVADOR, Republic of San Salvador-The San Salvador Volcano which burst into violent eruption on the night of June [ last, stIll contin- of from half a minute to a minute, quantities of red hot stones. These emissions are accompanied by tre- mendous explosions, like firing to- gether of hundred pieces of heavy artillery. Smaller stones glowing with heat are thrown 5000 feet into the air and larger ones 1,5OO to 1900 feet.
 In the great eruption of June z, when scores of persons were killed or injured vast quantities of burning lava poured from vents in the sides of the ancient volcano, spreading over the valley of Fl Pinar anu Las Chin tos. These fields of fire now mostly have cooled.
 A lake which occupied the old era ter was undisturbed by the first erup- tLOn but, a few days later, it began to throw off steam. For twenty-two days 1t continued to boil from sub terranean heat and when, at the end of that period the water of the lake had evaporated, it was possible to observe that q new crater had been formed within the mouth of the old one.
 1t is from this new crater that eruptions now take place at regular intervals. The spectacle is awe in spring. Millions of tons of burning stones have been thrown out on the dry bedrock where they continue to glow. Nevertheless it is possible to go within a few hundred yards of the old crater without danger and some men even have lowered themselves into the old crater with ropes.
 Excursions to the volcano from all parts of the country are popular as a railroad. runs from San Salvador to santa Tecla. eight miles from the volcano The remainder of the jour ncy IS made on horseback

Notwithstanding the fact that l am near my S0th birthday, short course of Nuxated Iron has made me feel like a. new man. Friends say, What have you been doing to yourself you look so well and full of life?" In my opinion there is nothing like organic iron Nuxated lron--to put youthful strength and power into the veins of the weak, run-down, infirm or aged. But beware of the old forms of me- tallic iron which often does more harm than good. To be absolutely sure that my patients get real or ganic iron and not some form of the metallic variety. l always prescribe Nuxated Iron in it's original pack ages"
 NOTE-Nuxated Iron, which is pre- scribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy. but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and in America. Unlike the older in organic iron products, 1t is easily a3- simulated. does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as we'll as for nervous, rundown conditions. The manufacturers have such great confi- dence in nuxated iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable in- su:ution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks time, pro- vided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if 1t does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days .ime.

The German typewriter makers are unable to supply machines under six of raw materials. Nevertheless they are overwhelmed with orders, one firm having as many as ten thousand on it's books. An unavoidable result of this state of affairs is a reckless and not always over-honest traffic in second hands machines, at prices for exceeding those for new ones.
