PLAN YOUR MEALS
CAREFULLY

Do not serve two or more foods
of similar composition at the same
meal. For example, it is unnec-
essary to serve both meat and eggs
at a meal, because these two foods
furnish the same food principles
and they therefore have the same
use in nOuriShing the body. This
not only constitutes poorly bal
anced meal which is of harm to
health, if it is practice, but it is
also a waste of good food ma
terials and Of time used in the pre-
paration. A housekeeper, who
sometimes serves bread, potatoes,
and rice or hOminy at the same
meal. on considering their cOmpO-
SitiOn, will see that one or even
two of these may be left out. She
will also see that custard made Of
milk and eggs would hardly be
needed after meal in which
liberal supply of meats has been
served; also that beans are sub
sttute for meat rather than food
to be served with meat.
The list given below show some
Of the common food materials ar
ranged in five groups according
to their uses in the body The
housewife should make sure that
all the groups are represented
regularly in the meals.
Group /. Foods depended on
for mineral matters, vegetable
acids, and body regulating sub
stances: Fruits-apples, pears,
etc, bananas, berries. melons,
oranges, lemons, etc, etc. Vege-
tables-Salads, lettuce, celery,
radishes, cress, asparagus, ETC.,
potherbs or green's, potatoes, tur-
nipS, carrots, etc, green peas,
beans, etc, tomatoes, squash, etc,
etc.
Group 2. Foods depended on
for portein: Milk, skim milk,
cheese, etc, eggs, meat, poultry,
fish. dried peas, beans, cowpeas,
etc, nuts.
Group 3. Foods depended on
for starch: Cereal grains, meals,
tiourS, etc. cereal breakfast foods,
bread. crackers, macaroni and
other pastes, rice, sage and Tap
icOa, cakes, cookies, Starchy pud-
dings, etc, potatoes and other
Starchy vegetables.
Group 4. Foods depended on
for sugar: Sugar, molasses sirups,
honey, candies, fruits preserved in
sugar, jellies and dried fruits
sweet cakes and desserts
Group ). Foods depended on
for fat: Butter and cream, lard
Suet, and other cooking fats: salt
pork and bacon, table and salad
oils.
This grouping will help the
houSekeeper, who wishes to save
money or time, to simplify her
meals without making them one
sided or incomplete. BY means of
this grouping she will be reminded
that meals consisting of cereal

Do not be ashamed to plan close

ing enough food neither too little
nor too much. Try to make the
dishes served of such size that
there will be just enough to salts

unnecessary plate or table waste.
True economy lies not only in buy
ing wisely but also in making full

Two regiments are joined in bri-

by assembling individual soldiers in
to squads; squads into platoons, pla-

battalions; battalions into regiments

Brigades may in turn be joined to
form divisions, divisions may be join

GOOD BACKS FOR BAD
Maysyille Residents Are Learning
How to Exchange the Old Back
For q Stronger One.

Does your back ache, feel weak and
painful!
Do you suffer headaches, languor
and depression?
The kidneys may be calling for
help.
Weak kidneys cannot do their work.
Give them the help they need.
To cure a kidney backache you must
cure the kidneys.
Use a tested and proven kidney REM
edy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test.
Convincing proof Of merit in Mays
vile endorsement:
Mrs. NJ Holiday, 221 w. Second

back has ached across my kidneys. My
kidneys have been irregular in action
and | have had dizzy spells and head
aches. have always used Doan's
Kidney Pills, getting them at Wood &
Sons Drug Store, and they have never
failed to relieve these complaints"
Mrs. Holiday is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Deans Kidney Pills. If your
back aches--if your kidneys bother
you. don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy--ask distinctly for DOAN'C

The smallest unit or team" in the
Army is the squad. A squad usually
consists of eight men, one of whom is
the leader; he is called the corporal.
You will be assigned to squad al
most at once on entering the Army.
At first, GU may be shifted about con-
siderably from one squad to another
but within a short time you and seven
other men will be brought together as
a permanent team. This means that
you will work together, drill together,
and sleep in the same tent or in the
same section of the barracks. You
will come to know the other men in
the squad through and through and
they will become equally well ac-
quainted with you. Some of them will
probably grow to be your close and
lifelong friends. On the other hand,
there may be one or two men whom
you dislike or do not respect.
The Squad Unit
In any case remember this: The
eight men in squad form team in
the same sense that baseball nine
or a football eleven is team. Your
squad Is competing with all the other
squads in your company. Whenever
it shows itself especially well drilled
quick to learn new duties or careful
in respect to cleanliness and general
bearing, you pile up few points in
your favor. The umpires are the Of
ficers Of your company; and you may
20 be certain they are watching your
squad every minute of the day-nOt
watching for chances to criticize but
watching hopefully for signs Of sol.
dierly spirit and intelligence.
1t is your first duty to help youi
own squad make good showing. AL
so it is to your own interest to do so
There Is no more pleasure or reward
for you In belonging to poor squad
than there is for a bill player in be-
longing to a losing team. Take pride
In your squad and its good work L
