Head Committee and
Direct Work
COUNCIL EXPECTS
VALUABLE SERVICE
From Former Chairman of

poets, through this committee, to CO.

of the committee, which will seek to Sc
cure the active cooperation of the food
dealers.
In this work. as in much OF the other
work of the council of national defense,
great attention will be paid to the ex-
perience OF European governments in
handling the food question, and it is
especially for this reason that Mr. Hooy-
er's services will be of inestimable value
In this committee. appointed primarily
for investigation, if Mr.. Hoover accepts
the craftsmanship, the government is ex.
pected to have an agency admirably
equipped for assuming the general CON
troll of food production and distribution,
should it become necessary for the gov
eminent to take this out of private
hands.
A resolution was adopted at the meet
ing Of the council Saturday asking Mr..
Hoover to accept the position. 1t reads
as follows:
Resolved, that Herbert c. Hoover be
requested to take the Craftsmanship of a
committee on food supply and prices,
which shall report to the council such ex-
perience as European governments have
had and advice as to proper methods of
preventing recurrence, as far as prae-
ticable. Of the evils arising out of specu-
lative prices and to stimulate increased
production Of all food supplies"

ABANDON FOOD PREJUDIcES.
Be Willing to Try New Food-Get Out
of the Rut.

Don't be fnicky. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and nour-
ishing foods widely used and enjoyed in
one section are practically unknown in
other sections of the country. Learn to
know all the good things, not a few only.
People too easily get into food ruts /;
insist on eating only the food they are
used to, and refuse to give fair trial to
others. This causes undue demand for
certain staples, with resulting scarcity
or high prices when crops are short. At
the same time other valuable foods may
be relatively cheap and available. A
striking instance of this is failure fully
to appreciate riee-a valuable source OF
starch-when potatoes are scarce and
high. Another example is refusal in GER
tain sections to use anything but wheat
as a breadstuh, when corn yalua BILE
cereal widely used elsewhere as bread
stuf-is plentiful and relatively cheap.
Cook Food Properly.
Learn how to cook all kinds of staple
foods and to serve them in variety of
ways. Simple dishes well prepared are
better than expensive foods badly cooked.
Many persons are prejudiced against
certain good foods because, when first
tried, the foods were improperly cooked
or prepared.
Remove from your vocabulary don't
like" or cant eat"
Most individual prejudiccs against
widely popular foods are either mag
mary or baseless.

Never pour milk, which has been ex-
posed to the air, back into bottle con-
tanning other milk. Keep such milk cold
and covered in another clean utensil.

medium for bacteria. Keep milk clean,
You can keep it clean only by keeping it

Never pour milk into an unsterile bowl
or pitcher. Scald all vessels into which
milk is poured for keeping or serving.
Cool their utensils after scaldng, before
you put milk into them.
Before you open a bottle of milk wash
and wipe the outside of the cap with
water and clean cloth. The little de-
preston at the top of the bottle collects
dust or water, or milk, which may at

of the cap, which may be contaminated,
viii not be pushed down into the milk.
Clean and scald the refrigerator where
milk is stored, regularly with hot sal

is kept open and clean.
Even in the clcanest refrigerator, new
cr keep milk in an open vessel Milk

If there are babies or little children
in your home, clean, ocld, covered milk is
absolutely essential.
Clean Empty Bottles.
Finally, clean empty bottles. Rinse
thoroughly with cold water every milk
bottle, as soon as emptied, and then
wash with hot water. This helps your /
milkman to give you clean milk.
Never take milk bottles into sick
room. If you have an infectious or con-
tagious disease in your home, boil the
milk bottles, and do not return them
without the express sanction of your
local health officer or attending physi- |
clan.
Don't Throw Out Skim Milk or Sour
Milk.
Clean skim milk is valuable food, |
containing all the nourishing elements of |
whole milk except the fat or cream. 1t
is useful in cooking cereals. soups, sauces,
cocoa, etc, and is r palatable, nourish-
ing beverage.
Sour milk and buttermilk can be used |
with soda in making hot breads, or sour
milk can be easily turned into cottage
cheese, or clabber. Sour cream is a good
shortening for cakes and cookies, and is
useful for salad dressings and gravies
for meat.
The U. S. department of agriculture
will be glad to send you additional in
formation about the care and use of

J. c. FRAZEE TO FIND
MEN FOR Big JOBS
Appointed State Director of
United States Public Serv-
ice Reserve

John G. Frazee. of Philadelphia. vice
director of the Civilian Service and Labor
Department of the Pennsylvania Committee
of Public Safety, has been appointed direc-
tor for Pennsylvania Of the United States
Public Service Reserve, an organization
which will assist the Government in finding
the right men and in sufficient numbers
to perform non-military war work. An
nouncement of Frazees appointment was
made today
The reserve will enroll and classify men
according to vocation. training and ex-
perience and advise them of public and
private positions in which men of their
qualifications and abilities are needed.
BY organizing the nation by States and
the states by divisions, it is hoped to be
able to provide men of ability wherever
they are needed without disturbing the
labor balance in any section. For example,
should large number of skilled workers be
needed to man an essential industrial estab-
liShment in some section where such men
were not available, the reserve would be
able to shift them from a section in which
there were too many men of the sort.
The purpose is not to find jobs for men,
but to find men for important jobs. The
reserves field will be entirely different from
that of an employment bureau.
All adult male workers are eligible for
enrolment. Those enrolled are not obligated
to take new positions at the call of the
reserve, but they are expected to be men
who are sincerely desirous of doing more
for their country if opportunity is afforded.

Hoseman Edward Moore Risks
Life to Save City Hall
Workman
JACOB FLICK'S QUICK WIT
Flame Fighters Resourcefulness Keeps
Railroader From Bleeding to
Death

Several days past a man named Andrew
f.ininski, 1915 North Fifteenth street. was
working on the city Hall scaffolding when
he slipped and fell couple of stories ana
his downward Journey was temporarily
halted by a dangling rope which his foot
happened to slip into. At the time the man
was supposed to have saved himself by his
own presence of mind and coolness by
swinging himself in through window.
The real story Of the affair leaked out
today and the real hero is Edward Moore,
n hose man Of Engine Company No a..
Moore was on his way through corridor
to visit Chief Police Surgeon Hubley r.
owen. He happened to glance through one
of the windows and saw the form of Linin-
ski dangling hundreds Of feet above the
ground. Moore caught sight of another
rope and coolly catching hold of ii he swung
himself through the air until he reached
the unfortunate laborer Then he quietly
warned Lininski, who was hanging upside
down, to keep his wits about him. Then
Moore swayed the rope back and forth
until Lininski was able to climb through a
window.
After the workman was safe the fireman
swung himself through another window and
continued his way up to Doctor ovens
office.
In sliding down the rope. Moore had his
hands sCorched and he was asked by the
doctor what had caused the burns. He told
of his feat in a matter-of-fact manner, and
Doctor owen was both amused and sur
prised at Moore's modesty.
When Moore asked Fire Chief William
+. Murphy for few days off TO allow his
wounds to heal the chief asked him the
reason. Again he told his chief of what
he had done in the same quiet manner.
Chief Murphy Immediately hustled to Di-
| rector of Public Safety Wilson's office and
| acquainted the Director with Moore's dar-
| ing.
Director Wilson sent for Moore today
| and he was commended before the depart
ment chiefs for his unusual presence of
| mind and quick judgment. Mr.. Wilson
| good-naturedy upbraided Moore for having
| held back the tale.
| Another fireman, who was commended by
| Director Wilson this morning for his quick
| action, was Jacob Flick, of Truck Company
| Number 8.
| On August 20 he saved a brakeman of
| the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
from bleeding to death when the latter
| had his leg cut off by a train at American
| and Norris strets. He made a tourniquet
| out of two handkerchiefs and then sum-
| moned an automobile and took the victim
| to st. Mary's Hospital.
