XeQetabla SOUPS or Purees.

Soup is not necessarily made from
meat stock. Vegetable soups or purees
are made by boiling potatoes. beans
peas or other vegetables until soft
MASKING through sieve and then heat
ing with little liquid (water, milk
soup stock or whatever seems destr
able) and f1avoring. Using leftover
vegetables for such purees is an eco
nomical practice. Milk soups. which
are really milk thickened and favored
with some vegetable, fish or other food
to give flavor and perhaps thickenet
still more with a little flour or stale
breadcrumbs, are both nutritious and
appetizing. They furnish also an e1
cellent means of using up skimmilk
Those who wish to bring down the cost
of food should remember that skim
milk, a cup of which contains as much
protein as cup Of whole milk. is fal
too valuable food to be overlooked.

President Fillmore.

Present day passion for setting unap-
preciated historical characters In new
light has now reached President Mil
lard Fillmore. A symposium by six
teen American publishers says Of him !:
He abolished debt Imprisonment and
religious test oaths for witnesses In
court He fostered new postage rates
and induced congress to make an ap-
preparation for testing the electric tel
egraph. He sent Perry on his famous
expedition to Japan, with instructions
for action that won the open door
and laid the foundation for American
japanese friendship. In his retirement
as a citizen of Buffalo Fillmore laid
the foundations of most of its present
cultural institutions. Always he was
an opponent of war and constructive
statesman. But he lacked those quail
ties as man and those ambitions. as
politician which might have made
him popular while he lived and read
about today.

RED CROSS SAVES SOLDIERS
Organization Acts on Theory That 4
10 Better to Heal Wounded Fight.
Or Than to Pension His Family.

: Long ago some one remarked that on
ounce Of tany is worth q ton of 91,
taphy. A 10-cent bunch of violets TO
the living outwaghs a $50 funeral
wreath, for the dead.
That's the motto Of the Red Cross,
says a writer in the Philadelphia
Ledger. It Is much cheaper to sooths
and heal wounded soldier than to
pension his family.
Erecting monuments at Gettysburg
and Valley. Forge is wei enough fifty
or a hundred years after the events,
but dollar for the stricken soldier
equals a hundred dollars in marble
over his body.
Red Cross money is an insurance
policy. What does it insure against?
Philadelphia's 5000 900 will surely
preserve scores Of lives. So 1t insures
against death itself, which is some
thing an ordinary insurance policy
does not do.
Wipe out Philadelphia's hospitals
and how many more persons will die
every Year, Doctors ten me the num-
Der would be many hundred.
Deprive the battle front Of hospital
facilities and the death rate will jump
enormously. So your Red Cross dollar
is out upon q practical eTrand-not q
sentimental. Sissy Journey.
: It Is certain to be invested In the
life Of a liberty soldier. which is a
good enough Investment for me.

WaIpt,fa "a Eood

The ancients held the walnut In higl
esteem. MortalS could and did exist
on acorns. but walnuts were so de
licious in taste and flavor. so palatablc
and nutritious. that they were revered
as food only for the gods to dine upon
Modern investigation and modern Gus
toms have popularized the uses of the
walnut to such an extent that 1t L;
now regarded not only as luxury, but
as a food of great nutritive value. A
chemical analysis of the nut shows
that 1t is six tiGies as nutritious as
meat. No vegetable or fruit. with the
possible exception of the olive, can be
compared with the walnut as a strength
giving and fat producing food AL
nuts are possessed of elements of nu
triton, but the highest in rank is the

Painting a Hattleshir.

One hundred tons of paint, costing
approximately $4,000, represents the
initial color requirements for a new
battleship. The annual upkeep cost
may exceed this sum, since it Is the
custom to repaint the different parts
of a modern war vessel every three to
six months This would indicate an
annual paint protection outlay of near
ly 100000 for the navy. If to this
sum is added the cost Of painting the
thousands of lake boats, freighters.
river steamers and pleasure craft some
conception may be had of tho impor-
lance of marine painting.
Among the most important naval
paints are those which are applied to
protect the submerged parts Of the
bulls from corrosion or fouling by bar
nacles The word barnacle Is the pop
ular name for that form Of marine
crustacea which consists Of a clam
like body lodged in a shell that is often
formed In a series of rings or plates.
They adhere with great tenacity
Without anti-fouling paints the speed
of vessels would be greatly retarded
by the piling up of q thick incrustation
of barnacles and attached sea grass

homes much better than those they
we're evicted from. But Warmers

SHIPS NEED OF AUSTRALIA
Grain Of Little Value Without Trans-

at Hone.

"Australias food production this
year will average normal; 1t Is neither
unusually heavy nor, light but there
is going to be considerable diffcu' ty
in handling the crops, because there
are no facilities for transportation"
said II. w. Stephens, merchant OF
Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit
ed States. 1.-The greatest need OF Aus
tralia today is transportation. Until
ship tonnage is provided 1t Is almost
useless for the farmers TO complete
their harvesting, as 1t requires only a
small percentage of the crops to sup
ply the domestic needs. Heretofore
great quantities of grain have been
shipped to England and 1t Is still going
overseas, but In not sufficient quantity;
for England needs wheat now as never
before. But without ships it is impos-
sible for US to send our wheat
abroad. FT
The wheat crop Of Australia was
damaged to some extent by mice. and
until the farmers learned how to COM
bat this pest 1t threatened to become
a serious menace. The farmers used
poison, water, gas and other means,
and finally got rid Of them"
