Annexation of South Sea Islands.

A formal declaration that Japan in
tends to retain possession, after the
war, Of the South Sea Islands, now un.
der her protection, is urged upon the
government by the Tokyo Asahi. The
new French cabinet has declared, in
the chamber Of deputies, says the To
kyo journal, they will not stop fight
ing until the recovery of Alsace-Lor-
raine; 1t Is wise for nation to de-
clare Its aims In prosecuting war.
Notwithstanding this, some Japanese
bureaucratic statesmen make point
Of denouncing the attitude Of those in
favor of declaring to the world the
just and proper demands of the Japa-
nese people, In connection with the
war, lest 1t hurt the feelings of the
allies. 1t Is mistake to view dec
laration Of the just claims of nation
as a demonstration of selfish inten-
tions or breach of international ell
quette, says the Tokyo paper, and the
Japanese government should follow
the example of the French cabinet and
make public declaration at once as
to Japan's intention to retain posses.
sion of the South Sea islands after tho
war and to make other proper claims.
Such frank declarations on the part
Of belligerents are important In max.
Ing known to all concerned their true
Intentions. The Tokyo AsahI concludes
by declaring that the Japanese people
are DESTROYS that their government
shall take such step at the present
important juncture.

Most Women Serve Too Many
Varieties of Food at One
Meal, Says College Expert.

Food conservation is quite as impOr-
tant as food production. People of
this country can profit by the expert
ence of European nations at war, and
at the same time effect a great saving
in their living expenses. European
peoples started conserving food when
they were forced to do so, but the peO-
pie of this country can avert the ne
cessity by beginning now. These are
the conclusions of food experts.
Miss Bah Bell of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture is of the opinion
that most women serve too many foods
at a meal. "a meal may be well-bal-
anced and appetizing, and still be sub
Ject to reduction without loss to body
needs" said Miss Bell. "By cutting
down the number of foods served the
cost of meals can be materially de-
creased. Furthermore, there is no ne
cessity for folks to eat more than they
need. By doing without the excess
which is usually consumed, we can
make available just that much more
food for future. needs"
Miss Bell cited the following meal
as TYPICAL: "Clear soup, maccarOni
and cheese, lettuce and beet salad, ap-
pie sauce, bread and butter, cream
pie" This meal will be just as we'll
balanced and much more economical
If it is simplified thus: MacarOni and
cheese, lettuce salad, bread and but
ter, apple sauce.
'In like manner" she concluded, "in
planning meals, see first that the nee
essary classes of food are represented
and then see how few dishes may be
served, rather than how many"

BlackbirdS of Two Kinds;
One Deserves No Quarter,
Other Has Good Qualities

The lark has two sable relatives,
very numerous, which have long been
OF i'll repute. One is the grackle, our
common big, snaky keel-taiIed "black-
bird" and he deserves the black eve
he has (actually, by the way, that or
gan is of a maniacal straw Yellow
and his place in the list of birds with
out protection. He does destroy many
bad bugs, especially cutworms and
other ground infesting nuisances. but
he also Furnishes the grain, spOils a
IDEAS of corn in the milk and systemati-
cally raids the nests of his smaller
neighbOrs, the weed seed cleaners and
small insect scOurges breaking their
eggs and Draining their helpless young.
So it might be all right to eat grackles
If grackleS were not decidedly too
tough and strong to eat.
But the other blackbird, the redwing,
that fine steel black march bugler with
the orange scarlet epaulettes, can be
eaten, can when f1Ocked in autcmn be
slaughtered wholesale with the spread
ing charge of a shotgun, and although
he too takes some toll of the grain
and the corn in ear investigation has
established his overwhelming worth.

Poultry Pointers.

Do not allow ducklings and goslings
to swim, for that checks their growth.
A late-hatched chick we'll grown is
more profitable than an early chick
that has been neglected.
Never allow growing chicks to Occu-
by the same yards or to run with the
matured fowls, but keep the young
sters separate on clean ground.
Much of the profit in poultry raising
depends on whether the chicks grow
rapidly and uniformly, and that means
whether they have the right kind of
care and feed.
There is no economy in feeding en-
tirely on one grain, or even two grains.
because better results can be obtained
for less money if a variety is furnished
the fowls and chicks.
Although young geese will some
times pick up enough food to keep
from starving, they will not make
enough growth to be profitable unless
fed literally when young and given
enough feed to make up, with what
they get on the range, d IulI TdLlOh'
Clean ground, where other chicks or
fowls have not been during the sea-
son, is necessary for the best results
with little chicks, especially the late
Matched ones, because ground which
has been used by others is likely to be
more or less foul and may contain dis
ease germs.
Be sure that ducklings and goslings
are given water in Dishes fountains or
troughs large enough SO that the most
of the flock can drink at one time dur
ing meals, and so arranged that each
can get its head into the water up to
its eyes but cannot tip the dish over or
get it's feet into the water.

War Museums.

The war museum of the Avenue NAL
akoff, in Paris, is to have cOunterparts
in London, as we'll as in Berlin The
Berlin scheme is gigantic one aiming
at nothing less than a collection of
everything printed in connection with
the war. The London project which
is that of Sir Alfred Mond, has only
just been sanctioned by the cabinet. 1t
seems that one of it's most interesting
features will be a collection of the
prOclamatiOns issued in various parts
of the empire during the war. among
which will be the Bagdad proclama-
ton, and such contrasts as the stately
proclamation of the city of London and
that issued in "pidgin" English to the
natives of New Guinea.
