WHAT PIE FOR
CHRISTMAS,

Who ever heard of real Christmas dinner
without mincs pie' {
1t can't be done.
There may be cakes and cookies and pud-
i!iugs ant, all k;.ts of sweet things but unless
there is minee pie there just isn't any real
Christmas dinner.
And since it takes mince pie to top Off
the feast dinners, wouldn't it be good idea!
to have nnince pie to top off many OF theI
other good meals? Wouldn't it just makfi
the meal on many occasions!
Asyouprobably know, NoNESUcH M1NcE!
MEAT comes in an up-to date packageI
form secure from handling; is moderate
in price and becomes three times the pack. I
age weight when you add the necessary
moisture.
1t is the economical way to buy mincsi
meat because it prevents waste.
The package recipes arc good for pies,
cakes, buildings, and cookies. ]
TryaN None SUCH War Pie-no top crust.
Saves -four, shortening, labor, money-halil
the crust Helps the U. S. Food Admin.ll
istration.
The pie that is good enough for Christmas
dinner is good enough for other meals
breakfasts, lunches, suppers, and in the DIM
ner pail. Try it with NONE SUCH MDcsl
Neat.

U. s. ASKS AGREEMENT
Wants Pact with Germany For
Care of Captives.
Negotiations Opened To Insure Good
Treatment Of Prisoners
On Both Sides.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Negotiations
with Germany have beer opened by
the United States for an agreement
to govern the treatment of prisoners
of war taken by either nation.
This is being done with the hope Of
procuring the best possible condi-
lions for Americans taken prisoner
on the battlefront, and to show Ger
many how we'll German prisoners in
the United States are being treated.
Food Sent Forward.
Already, through the Red Cross a.
Geneva, the United States has begun
forwarding food and other necessaries
to Americans held in Germany, Of
whom there are more than 100.
It is realized that as the American
troops increase in numbers on tho
battlefront, more prisoners are bound
to find their way to the German prison
camps.
A nation pinched for food for itself.
probably will feed its enemy prison
ers last.
