at the Junior high school building.
Tea towels are to be hemmed and
donated to the use of the school cafe

THE PLANS FOR WAR.

This week will bring forth many an
nouncements of momentous interest to
the nation in reference to the conduct
of the war between the United States
and Germany, and on the part of the
allies of each belligerent.
1t is not unlikely that several of the
South American countries will take
their stand alongside the United
States, and at least several are expect
ed to sever relations with the Kaiser's
government.
Our new spunky and plucky ally is
Cuba. She will return In her most ear
nest way the great help this nation
rendered in giving her the independ-
ence which she deserved, and which
during a decade has assisted in pre-
serving the independence.
Brazil is one of the most powerful
Of South America. Her align
nent with the United States would in
sure the remaining balance of the
whole hemisphere.
In our internal affairs. the greatest
interest is attached to the organization
OF the new army. The plans are before
Congress, and the methods will be out
lined and calls made during this week.
III the meantime, the navy, army and
marine corps are calling for enlist
ments. The national guards have been
forbidden to enlist recruits for the past
few days, but their arms are to be ex-
tended with the announcement of the
new army plans in Washington.
America has entered the struggle
without hysteria. There is a tense
earnestness which is marked. Still
there is need for lessons to be plainly
shown the people of the seriousness of
tie present situation. It is no strug-
gle of '98 which we have entered, but
great world war which makes the
United States a world power.
A hundred million people are at
stake.
Do your part towards your country.

THE ECONOMY PLAN.

Next to the production of foodstuffs
the South, the most important fea-
ture for deep consideration is the con-
servatlon of our supplies and our
money. The South is ready for war,
and will more than do her part.
One thing which would keep thous-
ands CT dollars in the South during the
war is the cancellation of Grand Opera
Week in Atlanta. That festival of for
eign riot is entirely useless when
something else should go before
If the week is held, and it is more
than likely, southern people for miles
and niles will gather in Atlanta to
hear Caruso sing with masterful
voice -Dui included in those audiences
viii he a vost number who only went
to see the Italian, rather than to ap-
.reciate the wonder OF the song.
TIE Times-Recorder would suggest
that the people of this section give
deep consideration to the future-anC
plan accordingly.

YOU THROW YOUR
VERY LIFE TO
THE GARBAGE
Watch Your Kitchen waste.

A large part Of the $700,0OO,OOO esti-
mated food waste in this country is
good food allowed to get into garbage
pals and kitchen sinks.
Ask yourself: Can 1T be beaten?"
Don't throw out any left-overs that
can be re-heated or combined with
ether foods to make palatable and
nourishing dishes.
Do you know?
That every bit of uneaten cereal can
be used to thicken soups, stews, or
gravies?
That stale bread can be used as the
basis for many attractive meat dishes,
hot breads and desserts?
That every ounce of skinned milk
CT whole milk contains valuable nour-
ishment? Use every drop of milk to
drink or to add nourishment to cereals,
soups, sauces and other foods. If you
do not want milk to sour, keep it cool,
clean and covered continually. Re-
member. too, that sour milk, butter
milk and sour cream are valuable in
cookery, so do not waste any. Sour
milk and buttermilk can be used with
soda in making hot breads, or sour
milk can be turned easily into cottage
cheese, cream cheese, or clabber. Sour
cream is a good shortening in making
cakes and cookies and useful for salad
dressings and gravies for meat.
Do you know?
That every bit of meat and fish can
be combined with cereals or vegeta-
bles for making meat cakes, meat or
fish pies, and so on, and to add flavor
and food value to made dishes?
That every spoonful of leftover
gravy can be used In soups and sauces
or as fiavoring for meat pies, GRO
quotes and vegetables?
That every bit of clean fat trimmed
from meat and every spoonful of drip
pings and every bit of grease that
rises when meat Is boiled can be clar-
flied, if need be, and is valuable in
cookery? Don't fatten your garbage
. pail at the expense of your bank ac-
count.
That when meat is boiled, the water
dissolves out some valuable food and
fiavoring material? Save such water
; for soup or for use in stews or gra-
vies, or for cooking vegetables. Save
and keep soup stock. Every profess
sional cook knows that keeping a soup
or stock pot is an essential economy.
Do you know?
That careless pairing of potatoes or
fruits often wastes as much as 20 pei
cent of their food material
That the outside leaves of lettuce
ard the tops of many vegetables make
desirable cooked greens" or ever
salads?
Make 1t your business to know wha'
: foods and how much food your famil!
, needs to be efficient: Learn how Il
make the most of the foods you buy.
Write today to the U. S. Depart
; trent of Agriculture, Washington, D
e c., or to your state agricultural col
d lege, at Athens. for bulletins, tellin'
you about the nature and uses o
foods and how to feed your famil!
economically. and get the greatest
nourishment out Of every pound o
food that comes into your home.

THE WHATCHAMA COLUMN
By George Martin
Raisins.
The raisin is WORKOUT grape.

The raisin is a WORKOUT grape.
It's evolution is peculiar. First a
bunch of young, full-blooded, ambi-
tious grapes grows itself on a vine.
Then it waits for somebody to come
along and pick it, Nobody comes. And
it waits and waits.
Pretty soon it gets tired of waiting.
So it shrivels up and becomes bunch
of raisins. BY this time it's pretty
sore on the world; and 1t goes around
with it's mead full Of seeds, making it
self as unpopular as possible. 1t gets
into fruitcake, mince pie, rice pudding
and other places where it can cause
trougle.
Fortunately, however, most raisins
are caught early in their disgruntled
career nowadays and denatured.
