BREAD AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
Would Be Used More Extensively If Home Baked Variety Was Always
 Good, Say Government Experts.

If home-baked bread were uniformly well made, 1t would be used more ex- tensively than at present in place of more expensive foods. say specialists in the United States department of agriculture, and this would be a dis tinct economy. From the standpoint of nutrition it makes very little differ ence whether breadstuffs are served in the form of bread or in the form of breakfast cereals, side dishes with meat, or desserts.
 A man engaged in moderate muscu- lar work can profitably consume about three-fourths of a pound a day of breadstuffs in any one of these forms. This quantity is the equivalent of one pound of baked bread. As a matter of fact, however, 1t Is not probable that in the average family this quan- tity is consumed and the deficiency is made up by the use of more expensive substances. Of course bread. alone is not sufficient for the maintenance of health, but from both an economical and hygienic point of view should be used more extensively than it usually is, declare the experts.

FOREIGNERS MUST BE TAUGHT
Schooling Is Vital to the Safety of Ma. ton, Says Uncle Sam's Board of
 Naturalization.

Reports that some cities may aban- don night school instruction for their foreign population drew from Uncle Sam's board of naturalization state ment that such action would surely appear dangerous step backward, for if ever attention in education was needed it is needed now."
 Military preparedness is no more vital to the countrys safety than citi- zenship preparedness" the statement said. "No one should be permitted to remain in ignorance of his duties and responsibilities as a resident of the United States, and this applies particu- larly to the foreign born."
 The statement cites statistics show ing that in 1910 there were 1850, ,361 illiterate foreigners in the United States, but adds gratifying improve ment has been shown since that time through the night schools established by public School authorities in CO., operation with the bureau of naturali- zation.

The last word in summer blouses is convincing that they, with many other things, are devoted to simplicity. They are close to plain In design, satin bindings give them an exquisite finish, and the resourcefulness of designers has managed girdles, peplums and pockets in the eleverest ways. These items had to save the day for the plain blouse, otherwise it would have met with defeat and been branded as con- monplace.
 There are many plain sleeves wid- ened at the wrist, or near it, among the newest blouses, and bead and silk embroidery continue to appear in more of them By means of soft, loose gir- dies, peplums or hanging pockets the blouse is so well adjusted to separate skirts that they seem made one for the other The blouse shown in the picture is an example of the good ar engagement of pockets and girdle. It is of sand -colored georgette crepe, bound with satin the same color, and the small buttons down the front are satin- covered. There are two reticule pock-

All surgical dressings and hospital supplies must be made, packed and shipped according to the specifications and standards of the Red Cross, which meet the requirements of the United States army and navy. In order that women may know how to prepare sup plies that will conform to adopted standards, the Red Cross is directing much effort to the spread of instruc- ton. The educational courses are un- der the supervision of Miss Clara b. Moves, director of the bureau of nurs- ing service, in Washington. This in- struction Is carried on in two forms either by supplying instructors for in- dividual classes or in teaching -cen- ters, where permanent quarters are engaged and a corps of teachers con- duct continuous classes. These cen ters are established now in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia. Washington, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Den yer, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places.

In previous articles directions for forming Red Cross chapter and di- rections for forming an auxiliary to a chapter, have been given, together with suggestions for campaigns to se- cure members. When an auxiliary has been formed, the next thing to do is to determine what branch of Red Cross work this particular auxiliary will take up and how to go about do- ing the work
 The American Red Cross is anxious to have available for use at any time a great quantity of surgical dressings and hospital supplies ready for the demands that come from hospitals where wounded soldiers and sailors are cared for. In the preparation of these supplies most women can help, if they will. A newly formed aux Hilary can begin its services to the best advantage by taking up this branch of the work, for war makes the need for hospital supplies imperative and volunteer workers can do the work Women in the churches throughout the country are interesting themselves in this means of service.

 The pockets are decorated with a conventional flower, which appears to be done in French knots of colored silk. They emphasize this new evolu- tion of the pocket which places the blouse in the ranks of distinguished new arrivals.
 Georgette crepe and fine voile re- main unchallenged favorite among ma terials for midsummer blouses. On the crepe models soutache braid, needle work, beads and fine lingerie laces are available for decorations Laces and embroidery are liked best for voile blouses. A fine voile will repay its owner for considerable outlay of time and work and for the price of good lace in making 1t, for it is about the most handy of all sheer materials and looks as we'll after laundering as before.

He Had "Hypopituitarism,"
 So Couldn't Join Marines

Because telling a man he is too fat to serve his country may have a tendency to dampen pa- triotism, Howard Ava Stilwell of Newark was given a some what different diagnosis of his case when he was rejected by United States Marine corps medical examiners at Philadel- phia.
 Stilwell, who weighs 2S4 pounds, was accepted by recruit ing officers in Newark, but failed to pass the local doctors, who found he was afflicted with thy popituitarism," a disease which is given the following analysis in the doctors report: "A condi- ton due to pathological activity of the pituitary body, and marked by excessive deposit of fat and the persistence or &C., Quirement of adolescent charac- teristics."
 Both the doctors report and Stilwell carry considerable weight.

TEXAS MERCHANT 7 GAINS 34 POUNDS
Quit Taking TanIac 18 Months Ago-StiII Retains Weight

SUFFERED TWENTY YEARS
John crabtree Says the Money He Paid for TanIac Was Best Investment He Ever Made
 in His Life.

q have gained thirty-four pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and I now know what it is to enjoy life and good health after suffering twenty years" said John M. Crabtree, general merchant at Five Mile Station A, Dallas, Texas.
 T bought my first bottle nearly two years ago." continued Mir Crabtree. "and it was the best investment ever made in my life. I began to improve almost from the start and three bottles simply made me over into a new man. have enjoyed the best of health ever since.
 T suffered with catarrh of the stom- ach and indigestion for twenty years and for eighteen months I had to live almost entirely on cereals. My stom- ach was full of gas and I suffered with awful headaches all the time. I was nervous and couldn't sleep. I spent nearly all of one whole year in bed and fell off in weight to one hundred and eighteen pounds.
 After using three bottles of Tanlac. I had increased in weight from one hundred and eighteen pounds to one hundred and fifty-two-making an ae- tual gain of thirty-four pounds-all my troubles were gone and I was feel ing like a new man.
 Although it has been a year and half since Tanlac relieved me of my awful catarrhal trouble and indiges- tfon, l still retain my increase in weight and feel simply fine all the time. I've been eating anything I want-in fact anything anybody else can-and sleeping like a child every night. Being made into strong, healthy man after suffering as long as l did is enough to make me rejoice and Pm glad to indorse Tanlac be- cause know what it will do."

FEW GERMANS ALIENS
Most of Those Living in United
 States NaturaIized.
Great Proportion of Austrians, Hun- garians, Turks and Bulgarians
 Not Citizens, However.

The natives of Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey now residing in the United States aggre- gate approximately 4662, ,000, or about f1a per cent of the total population of the country.
 The foregoing total is announced by Director Sam l.. Rogers of Uncle Sam's bureau of the census, as the result of calculation based on the census figures of 1910, the reports of the bureau of immigration for the period between 1910 and the present time, and the estimated mortality dur ing that period. Although it is not possible by this method to determine with absolute eXactness the number of natives of the countries named now living in the United States, it is be- lieved that the results obtained repre- sent a reasonably close approximation to the facts.
 These 4,662000 foreigners are dis tributed, according to country of birth, as follows:
 Germany ....................2 2,349,00O Austria ................... 1,316,00O Hungary 73S,0O0 turkey ............s.... Ioo,ooo Bulgaria 11,000
 It is impossible to say whether the proportions of aliens-that is, persons who have not applied for naturaliza- tion certificates-among these for eigners are approximately the same as they were in 1910; but, assuming this to be the case, the number of male aliens twenty-one years of age and over included in the above total would be approximately 964,000, or about 3.2 per cent of the total number of male inhabitants of the United States twen- ty-one years of age and over. The dis tribution of these aliens, according to country of birth, would be as follows: Germany .................... 136,00O Hungary ................... .ZSo,0oo Turkey .................... 93,000 Bulgaria ................... S,ooo
 The proportion of aliens among male Germans twenty-one years of age and over is very much smaller than the corresponding proportions for the other countries named, having been only little more than II per cent in 1910, as against approximately 63 per cent for Austrians, "A per cent for Hungarians, S2 per cent for Turks, and nearly 90 per cent for Bulgarians.
