The American people have just
bad rude awakening from their
dream OF great prosperity and
full content that all was well by
the food riots in New York and
Philadelphia. We do not believe
that this outbr eak was caused by
actual hunger, it seems TO be,
rather, a violent protest against
the continual rapid rise in the
prices of those articles Of food

poor mans table and depended

SOAK THE SOAKERS
Of PEAS AND BEANS
EXPERTS AT WASHINGTON SEND
OUT WARNING TO THRIFTY
HOUSEWIVES

WASHINGTON - The officials il
charge of the enforcement of the foOt
and drugs act are calling attention to
the practice of soaking dried peas and
dried lima beans until they have the
appearance of the fresh article and
then canning them. Such products
are then in many instances sold as
the canned fresh article. Unless soak
ed peas and lima beans are plainly
labeled as Soaked" or in some other
manner so as to show their char
acter, they are regarded as in viola
ton of the food and drugs act.
There is no denial that soaked peas
and lima beans are a wholesome ar
ticle of food They are, however, adj
mittedly inferior in quality to the
products prepared from fresh vege
tables Furthermore, the dried peas
or beans may themselves be purchas-
ed by the housewife quite cheaply and
while in the dried condition may be
commercially and satisfactorily stored
for future use.
The housewife will also do her bit
in the conservation of limited supply

of tin plate by soaking and cooking
her own dried peas and lima beans
in the kitchen and thereby releasing
a proportional amount of tin cans for
use in the packing of perishable foods
where they are greatly needed.
Consumers are urged to read labels
of canned peas and lima beans care
fully in order to see whether or not
they are getting fresh or soaked
dried product.

Pi0Che Boy Enjoying
Life at Cam D Lewis

Charley kixmiller, another of the
good boys who has gone to Camp
Lewis to prepare to do his "bit" for
Uncle Sam, seems to be getting ac-
customed to army life, according to
the following Letter, which was re-
ceived a few days ago:
| promised to write to you when
l left Phoebe, just a month ago, and
won't go back on my word.
l am going to tell you about the
life we are leading as far as | have
experienced it. There are seven of
US Phoebe boys in the same company
and in the good weather we occupy
most of our time out on the parade
grounds doing the squads right and
left. In the evenings, after mess, we
can go to any of the Y. M. C. A.
Duildings-and there are a number
of them here, which furnish the bows
with all kinds of amusements such
as wrestling, boxing, singing.
speaking and musical entertainments
We also have basket ball, base ball
and foot ball games. Our Co. D
holds the championship of the first
battalion of the 362nd infantry. They
played Co. M. and the score was six
to nothing. We have two DAYS off
out of each week, and when it is
raining we take life easy-which we
are doing today. We have inspection
twice week and we have to mop the
floor, make our beds just so, dust off
the shelves and have everything spic
and span.
We all have a turn in the kitchen
known as X. p. Kitchen police J
where we wait on table, wash dish
es, etc. We have good meals and
most all of the boys have a raging
appetite. Whenever we get sassy
we get from one to two weeks on the
X. P.-but take it from me, we dom
get sassy" very often
Our drilling isn't so very hard anC
we have q good bunch of officers; ST
that makes things pretty nice for us
The Phoebe boys send their bes
regards to you and all their friends
Will close for the time hoping tina
you will find no difficulty in trans
lating these few lines.
