A war Christmas dinner for. g
family Of FIVE that will be flling
and festive as well as patriotic can
be bought for g, says DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley. head Of the Bureau of
Food.
Here Is his menu:
Roast chicken. bread-crumb stuff
fing: potatoes; a half ounce of but
ter for each person; one loaf Of
bread; apple or pumpkin pie; milk
for the children and coffee or choc-
olate for the adults: apples instead
Of candies; no cranberries, In order
to save sugar. and no other sweets
or CONNECTIONS.
Christmas dinner should be COM
paratively simple and inexpensive
this year." he said, and the luxu-
ries should be eliminated. I should
like to recommend a Christmas din
ner for ninety-fiye per cent Of the
American people-the other five pei
cent wouldn't pay any attention to
a simple menu. so I shall have to
let them provide for themselves.
Eliminates Turkeys.
IT don't feel like recommending a
dinner that only a millionaire could
eat; would like to suggest a din
ner within the earning ability Of q
two-dollar-a-day workman with a wife
and three children.
Turkey. for the man of small
menas, is eliminated. Let him buy q
chicken Of three or four pounds,
which he should get for about twenty
cents a pound. Around this should
be built the dinner. Other simple
variations Of 'fixin's' might be pro-
vided with the other dollar. but
suggest potatoes, steamed or baked
with their skins on and eaten skins
: and all. The chicken stufring should
| be OF bread crumbs with enough fat

Four Things Essential
To Lick Prussia in West
Air Mastery, Preponderance In Men, Guns and
Munitions, No Waiting for German Smash
up and Allied Unity Necessary.

1t becomes more and more evident
that complete control OF the air is
going TO be a determining factor in
terminating the war.
I was with the French army re-
Gently when it scored some OF its
greatest victories. and its successes
can be traced directly 10 the &C.
curacy and intensity Of its artillery
fire
This was made possible by the as
sistance given by a vastly superior
air service that succeeded In blind
ing" the enemy by keeping his avia-
tors far behind his own lines and at
the same time located the German
batteries and directed the fire of the
French guns upon them.
What greater results can be accom-
plished when the United States has
from 5000 TO 5000 machines in serv-
lee pouring machine gun bullets into
the German trenches, shooting up Ger
man supply trains and re-enforce-
ments and bombing towns and cities
in the interior of Germany?
To my mind. it's time to quit wait

Is possible.

Ine British and the French. as

have smashed the German trenches,

now that We-the allies-have been
fooling ourselves
Germany is not the down and out
antagonist we have been making our
selves believe she was.
II there were no other proof, the
Teutons' success against the Italians
proves that.

One of Germany's stronge8t points
is that she absolutely controls the

1T Is my candid opinion that II
