How Much Food Does a
Family Need These Days?
Vrom the United States Department Of
ARriculture.)

Vrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
At time when 1t is imperative that
as much food as possible should be
raised and as little as possible wasted,
the housewife needs to know how much
food is really necessary for the pres
ervation of bodily health and how
much is eaten merely to please the ap-
petite.
To ascertain the correct answer to
these questions in the Individual case
would involve an amount Of figuring
which 1t is hardly likely that the Ordi-
nary woman would care to undertake.
Obviously the amount of food varies
With the kind of work that the person
does, and children require somewhat
different ration, more abundant in
some respects and less abundant in
others, than adults. For practical pur-
poses, however, it is quite possible for
the housewife with little thought to
furnish meals that approximate at
least the quantity which the health of
her family requires.
In Farmers Bulletin S0S, "How to
Select FOods,t the following materials
are suggested as one of the many COM
binations suitable for days ration for
family consisting of man and n
woman who do moderately hard mus
cular work. and of three children be-
tween three and twelve years old:
Four and op--half pounds of bread,
having the same food value as three
pounds of wheat or rye flour, oatmeal,
cornmeal or hominy, or rice; or about
2A pounds of cereals and five or six
medium-sized potatoes.
Three-fourths cupful of fat (butter
or butter with oil, beef drippings or
other fat)-a weekly allowance of on
to 3 pounds.
A little more than one cupful of
sugar. or n weekly allowance of four
pounds; or an equivalent amount of
some other sweet.
Four pounds In all of fresh fruits
and fresh or root vegetables.
One of the two following, the choice
depending on the age of the children
Three quarts of milk and one pound
Of other foods taken from the meat
and meat-SubStitute group.
Two quarts of milk and 1h pounds
Of other foods taken from the meat
and meat-substitute group.
In these materials bread and other
preparations of cereals play an impOr-
tant part. This is because such foods
are wholesome and economical, wheth-
er the cereal is used as a breakfast
dish, as flour or meal in bread and
cakes, or in other ways. An equally
noutishing and wholesome diet might
be planned which would contain less
cereal, but this would make 1t neces-
sary to increase the amount of more
costly foods, such as meats, fruits
vegetables and sweets. To make ra-
ton In which cereals play such an i'm
portant part attractive, however, 1t is
necessary that they be prepared with
care and with the exercise of some in.
genuity to secure variety in flavor. For
example, rice, macarOni and hominy
can often be made more appetizing and
nutritious by combining with them
small amounts of materials which have

ORGANIZING THE ARMY

 After the registration lists are com
 ter the drafted men are thumped and
 mauled by the doctors, the army is raised--on paper. But the work has
 only begun.
 There follows a stupendous task
 that of supplying and arning the
 men. There are a million hungry and
 husky fellows to feed. They must have clothes for heat, cold. and wet, They must have arms at least equal to the, foes. They must be protected against disease germs and trench in Efection. The job of training them in fighting technique Is comparatively 1 simple.I
 The supply proposition is jot comparable to running the United States Steel Corporation or the Penn sylvania railroad, and it is new kind 1 of work at which everyone is an anna. | lteur. No wonder it drags while oul
 allies watch and wait impatiently fo1 our endorsements. | TO Perform this amazing task, al! political feeling must pass. We must stop being Republicans and Demo crats and Socialists and be simply [ Americans. Technical experts must
 give service free. Politicians mus
 step aside, and the United States must become pure business corporation Tn so far as we can maintain these high standards, we shall prove win
 ner in the field.

ARE
 CORDIAL BETWEEN
 JAPAN AND HAGUE
Hollanders Lose None of Friendly Feeling For Ris-
 ing Sun Country

The Hague, Netherlands, July 7.- Asked if the relations between Japan and Holland had suffered at all dur ing the war, the Japanese Minister at The Hague, K. Ochiai, declared in an interview: The relations between the two countries have always been of a very intimate and friendly nature, and have lost none of their former cordia1ity during the war"
 The question was inspired by all the talk. about Japanese ambitions respecting the, Netherlands East In- dies, and the concern occasionally aroused in Holland by the writings of certain Japanese jingoists.
 After assuring the Dutch people that the writings of the publicist. Yu- saburo Takekoshi, who advocates the seizure of the rich islands of Java and Sumatra, had found no echo in the Land of the Rising Sun, where his publications indeed were sharply con- demned, Japan's diplomatic represen- tative at The Hague concluded by suggesting that experts should be ap- pointed to study on the spot ways and means of improving commercial and shipping connections between Japan and the Netherlands East Indies.

SUMMER VACATION TRADE.

The present is a time when the alert retail merchant has great chance to sell goods for vacation use. A majority of the people about now are planning for their outings. They want clothing of all kinds, shoes, and various articles giving comfort on their journeyings. Motoring parties stock up with equipment for their cars, picnic supplies, etc. It is pc riod when great deal of money is spent.
 The merchant who recognizes this demand and advertises for it finds a lot of trade all ready to jump into his store. He does not have to convince people that they want these goods. They know it already, and are simply in doubt, where to go, or are hesita- ting because no one has solicited this business.
 An enumeration of summer outing goods also reminds prospective trav- ellers of things they. would like, and will have to use before they get home Any merchant should be able to dou- ble his. trade in this line by telling people what he has.
