LaFollette Recalls Grim Humor
Lincoln Used on Vallandigham

put forward resolutions and proposed
legislation to show the country that
Lincoln was wrong He made speeches
and circulated literature to try to con-
vince the people that Lincoln's scheme
Tor financing the war was wrong, and
that his whole scheme for conducting
the war was wrong. that the war itself
was wrong, that CONSUMPTION was un-
constitutional. that the war itself was
unconstitutional He tried to compel
this government to hang itself with its
own Constitution.
All Of this President Lincoln endur.
ed with patience until there came q
day when Vallandigham was arrested
by military authority for treason. and
another day when Lincoln, with grim
humor, made the southern Confeder.
acy present of Clement Laird Vallan-
digham.
Wisconsin finds this bit Of civil war
history extraordinarily pat to its pres
ent humiliation. It finds the Vallen-
digham-La Toilette parallel startling.
1t finds little difficulty in substituting
the name Of La Toilette for the name
Vallandighan, excet as such substi-
tuition is necessary in the climax; but
Wisconsin waits with lifted pencil
while she turns an expectant eye to-
ward the White House, even as Ohio
did in 1868. Boats to Germany are
few and far between. Steamship com.
munication with Germany is decidedly
bad. But Wisconsin has no doubt
that President Wilson would find a
way, just as President Lincoln found
a way.

Enemy Cigarettes

Soldiers in France

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Sunday, Dec. Shy The
Associated Press. )-German and Aus
trian cigarettes are being smoked by
the American expeditionary forces.
There are two varieties being sold In
the army commisaries and they are
known by the soldiers as "Boche
smokes" One variety bears the name
OF Berlin firm while the other was
made by concern in Sarajedo.
The appearance Of the cigarettes
caused considerable speculation until
it was learned they had been turned
over by the French when they discov-
cred the American cigarette supply
was running short. The French cap
tured the cigarettes in the early days
Of the war and since they have been
stored In warehouse.

culture say careful planning may
make possible both a reduction OF
cost and an increase in nutritiveness
and palatability. If any changes are
to be brought about in the menu to
which family has been accustomed,
however, by eliminating certain arti-
cles or substituting less expensive
ones, care should be taken that the
resulting diet is rational; that is, that
1t does not contain, on the one hand,
too great a proportion of foods of
any one type. such as meats and meat
substitutes, or starch, sugars. and
fats, or vegetables and fruits, and
that, on the other hand, it is not de-
ficient in any of these types of food.
In general, habit and custom, shap-
ed by normal appetites, have led to
the general adoption of adequate and
varied diets in most families where
the means are sufficient for any range
Of choice. Thus, when meat a food

A few beans, carrots, peas and a
chopped onion and green peppers,
wisely mixed make a good salad.
Serve on the tender leaves of the
lettuce. Use any desired dressing.
BY combining with rice or hominy
these small bits help make a delicious
casserole.
The abundant garden supply must
be utilized to the best advantage.
Fruits and vegetables should be
used freely at all meals. The more
of these we use, the less wheat bread
will be necessary. Wheat -four is
scarce.
Whatever is not used when ripe
must be preserved for future use.
We are accustomed to depend upon
the national food producers to can
our food because we know they can
do this much more advantageously
than the housewife. These national
food producers will put up more food
than ever this year but we must re-
member that the bulk of that food
will be needed for the fighting men
in the army and navy and in the in
dustries.
The housewife who is so fortunate
as to have a garden will preserve her
surplus for future use and also that
no food may be wasted.
Policy of Food Administration.
From the office Of Herbert Hoover
the writer has just received a letter
which gives the following as a brief
outline Of the food administrators
policy.
THE wise use Of wheat, meat, but
terfat and milk. Our armies must
have what we can spare Of these
four foods. The use of other fats for
butter in cooking; the use of other
cereals for part Of the wheat in
bread; the use Of other meats, such
as game and fish or the use of eggs
and cheese to reduce the demand for
beef, pork and mutton. The larger
use of fruits and vegetables.
While cooperating with the Food
Conservation department. let us re-
member to save through avoiding
waste. Let us avoid waste that our
families may be properly nourished
and at the same time be assured that
those who are fighting our battles
have abundant food.
Mr.. Hoover says. "at best the loaf
Of our allies will be a privation loaf,
and every ounce we can add to 1t is
a contribution to their strength and
constancy in the war;.
Waste not that others shall
want not".

Suggestions For
Reducing Cost Of
Nutritious Food

The United States department of
agriculture, Washington, D. c.. dis
courses as follows on the question Of
how the housewife may reduce the
cost of serving nutritious food to the
family:
Housewives in many cases can re-
duce the cost of supplying their
tables without reducing the nutritive
value of the food served by giving
more thought than usually Is given
to the selection. preparation, and
combination of foods. In fact, where
carelessness has been the rule (and
carelessness is not related to the size
Of the income), the specialists of the

and not a one-sided one, as might
otherwise be the case.
The lists Of foods given at the end
Of this article are intended to show
different types OF food and different
examples of each type. If the foods
combined in the diet are chosen ac-
cording to these types-that is, ac-
cording to the purpose each group
serves I'm the body-and are eaten
in proper proportion. the meals will
furnish ali the kinds of nourishing
elements which the body needs. The
five types or groups are:
"a Foods depended upon for min
eral matter, vegetable acids, and
dy-regulating substances, such as
fruits and succulent vegetables.
(2) Foods depended upon for pro-
tein, such as milk, eggs, meat and
dried legumes.
(8) Foods depended upon for
starch, such as cereal breakfast
foods, fiours, meals, and foods made
from them.
(4) Foods depended upon for sugar,
such as sugar, molasses, sirups,
honey, jams, thick preserves, dried
fruits, sweet cakes, and desserts.
(5) Foods depended upon for fat,
such as butter, cream, salad oil. and
other table fats, lard, suet and other
cooking fats and oils, salt pork and
bacon.
In order that the meals may sup
ply all the needed nutritive elements,
one must make sure that all groups
are we'll represented; not necessarily
at every meal, but when the family
diet is considered day by day and
week in and week out. Quantities
should vary, particularly Of the en-
ergy-yielding foods, for persons en-
