ing hot breads and buildings.
Every scrap of meat or fish can be
combined with cereals or other foods
lacking in pronounced flavor, both to
give flavor and to add nOurishment
to made-over dishes.
Every bit Of fat or suet trimmed
from meat before cooking or tried
out in boiling, roasting or broiling
can be made useful in cooking. Many
butchers, after they have weighed
meat and named the price for the
cut, trim off valuable sUet and fat.
This fat, which the housewife pays
for, if taken home and used, would
reduce expenditures for prepared
cooking fats. Water used in cooking
rice and many Of the vegetables cons
tains nutrients and desirable flavor
ing materials valuable in soups or
sauces. Too often fats and such wa
ter are poured into the sink.

Important amounts of perishabIe

This preventabIe waste consists in

Ing to reports from Central Associa-

lieved that It will show close to 80
per cent OF the entire membership OF
the clubs Of 1917 to have answered the
great call.
Pitchers Take Lead.
The list now available shows the
pitchers greatly in the majority but
this may be due to the fact that ow-
ing to the greater prominence of box
stars their entry into the big game may
attract more notice, resulting In I'M
mediate publicity. whereas the infield-
err. outfielder, or catcher unless he pc
an unusual player, may not receive
the same attention.

First down."
Again and again Thorpe carried the
ball until 1t was within few feet Of
the Herald's goal. Then q forward
pass put over the winning touchdown.
AS the Indian trotted on the grid
iron after the score, one OF the Her
AIDS crack linesmen who was near the
side lines gazed at him with awe.
Turning to- newspaperman he said,
explosively:
II never used to believe the stuff
they told me about that guy, but all
I've got to say, is this: when he hits
you, why, you-you rattle!"

Dubuque, Dec. 15.-Among the eignt
students Of Dubuque college that Will
enter the third Officers training camp
next January at Camp Dodge, are four
that have been prominent In athletic
circles the past few years. The biggest
blow that has been given the athletic
situation at the local institution IN
many years was the announcement that
Charles Dorais, coach Of football. bas-
ketball and track has answered tho
call to the colors. Dorais is recognized
turnout the country as one OF the
greatest quar+erbacks that the grididon
sport has produced. He was placed on
the all-western eleven three successive
seasons, and In 1918, his last year at
Notre Dame, he was selected for the
ALL American eleven. Since his days
at Notre Dame he has distinguished
himself In professional football. He
has made an enviable reputation az
coach since filling the position as head
coach at Dubuque college In 1914. he
has elevated purple and gold elevena 70
one Of the best In state circles. On 1910
his team was the only undefeated col
lege aggregation In Iowa and the same
tribe proved to be the class OF Catho-
lie teams Of the west, He developed out
Of green material this fall an eleven
which could give any team in this sec
ton of the country a stiff argument
at the close Of the season. He mas
turned out two Hawkeye conference
championship basketball flves in the
three seasons he has been in charge.
Dorais was member Of the Dubuque
college faculty and occupied the char
Of commercial law. ~
Joe v. Ryan. star baseball player
and captain Of the 1875 nine. Will al
so report to Camp Dodge next month.
He has carried the leading role IN the
productions Of the college dramatic
club the past three years. and Is con-
sidered the best comedian ever devel-.
oped at the local institution. Joe E.
RYAN. stellar ll-around athlete, will
accompany his naniesake. The James
Vile athlete has been member OF the
football basketball and baseball teams
for the past three years. He Is one
Of the best punters that ever wore q
purple and gold moleskin. He booted
consistently 80 yards during his first
season, on tho eleven. He was chosen
as an all-Hawk eye conference forward
In basketball last season, and he was
expected to prove a tower of strength
to this winters quintet He accom-
.plished his greatest feats on the dia-
mond, He nelded so brilliantly in the
Dubuque Chicago White Sox game
two years ago that Comiskey ordered
the sox manager to keep an eye on the
purple and gold third sacker He es-
tablished record for the local nine

with a batting average over the 800
mark.
