Liberty Bonds Preferred Stock.

Likening the United States to a great
corporation with more than hundred
million stock holders and with capital
stock and resources of more than two
hundred fifty billions of dollars, and an
annual income of fifty billions of dollars,
each American citizen is stock holder
in this great corporation. Even those
whose only assets are their earning ca
pacity own shares in our public domain
and property and are working on profit
sharing basis with vote and voice in
the management of the corporation and
with the right to acquire more stock at
any time.
A Liberty loan bond may be likened to
a share of preferred stock in this gigan-
tic corporation. Like preferred stock in
other corporations it may not return, at
times, so large a dividend as common
stock, but the dividend from it is certain
and sure. 1t is stock that pays 31s per
cent dividend but the stock and dividend
cannot be taxed and while crop failures
may decrease the farmers dividend from
his land some years to less than moth
ing, and various causes may lessen or
destroy dividends from all other sorts
of property, the dividend from the lib
erty loan bond is certain and sure, sub
ject to no failure or diminution.
The owner of a Liberty loan bond
holds written, tangible evidence of being
a preferred stock holder in the United
States, the greatest, the most glorious,
The most honorable and the most success
full corporation in the world He holds
he certificate of being a citizen willing
10 support his government and to lend
money to his country when it needs it
md calls for it.
There is honor in being the owner of
liberty loan bond as well as profit:

What French Women are Wearing.

| There is a cable report on the fashions
in Paris in the September Woman's
Home Companion. The writer of it
says:
when officers and soldiers first APP
peared on Paris streets, smart features
in the uniforms appealed to famine fancy
and Immediately there were launched
street costumes modelled nearly exactly
on war uniforms. Naturally, what at
first seemed smart, became cheapened,
and the fad, frowned upon by that in
exorable law of Parisiennes, good taste,
had a short run to an absolute finish
From the beginning, the Parisienne of
war time refused all conspicuousness of
gowning, and what thought she gave to
the subject was concentrated on an en-
deavor to make elegance of simplicity.
The little dress that has ruled so long
in Paris came into being from the recog
nized need of busy women who, under
the strenuous new conditions, demanded
a dress that could be quickly put on and
easily adjusted Achieved immediate
ly, it conquered the world and is still the
fashion in Paris.
The first model was a straight sack
chemise, loosely belted and closed in
front. The sleeves were cut in one and
the neck was collarless. From this de-
veloped many variations that extended
into afternoon and evening toilettes."

THE POTATO COMES BACK
Huge Crop of Tubers Restores American
Diet to Its Old Basis.

Washington, d. c., Aug ls.--The huge
potato crop which the federal forecast in
dicates will be produced in the United
States this year means that this impor.
tant food staple viii be cheaper, and
makes it possible, says the United States
department of agriculture, for American
families that had to cut down ON po-
tato consumption because of high prices
to restore the tuber to prominent place
on their bill of fare,
The department forecast, based on re-
| liable estimates from all parts of tie
country. places the total potato yield at
more than 467 100000 bushels, as com
pared with 2s5O00,000 in 1916 and $780,
OO0, 900 in 1915. Potatoes of the current
season are already in the market in large
quantities, and, since the early harvested
tubers cannot be kept easily, should be
eaten more abundantly now if spoilage is
to be avoided.
Next to the breadstuffs, potatoes are
the most important food crop of the
western nations, the department points
out. They are all the more important
now that the worlds wheat supply is
short, since they furnish starch, the prin-
cipal food element contributed by bread,
and so may be substituted in part for
bread.
1t is no hardship to Americans, says
the department, to eat freely of pota
toes; rather it has been a hardship to
them during the past half year to forego
somewhat the use of this common food.

EAT MORE CHEESE.
More Nourishing Than Meat and Should
Be Used More Extensively.

store cheese-more properly known
as American Cheddar--is more nourish
ing pound for pound than any meat and
therefore should have prominent place
in the diet as a meat substitute, says n
statement issued to-day by the United
States department of agriculture.
Few people in this country eat cheese
in sufficient quantities for IL really 10
form an important part of the daily
fare" says the statement Indeed, il
is used more often simply as an appc-
tizer or as a seasoning for some other
food. Nearly every one relishes good
American Cheddsr or store cheese, but
there is an impression that il is indi-
gestible and constipating. Extensive di-
gestion experiments carried on by the de
partment of agriculture have demon
strated that more than 05 per cent of the
protein of cheese is digested and 90 per
cent of its energy is available. Even
when eaten in large quantities and for
long periods, no case of indigestion, con-
stipation or other disturbance was OBJ
served in those who ate il. One man who
ate cheese as the chief source of both
protein and energy, eating an average of
0.27 ounces daily, with bread and fruit,
for more than two years, did fair
amount of muscular work and kept in
good health.
American Cheddar cheese is a very
satisfactory substitute for meat. 1t can
be kept in storage for long time, and
contains much food in small volume.
"A pound of cheese supplies more than
twice as much energy as pound of
fowl or round steak and almost twice |
as much protein as the same amount of
fowl or ham. Cheese, therefore, is usual
Iy cheaper food than the meats.
Cheese can also be combined in many
palatable dishes. When grated it may
be used in soups or with many vege-
,ables. Other foods in which cheese is
Used are: Macaroni and cheese, Welsh
.abbit, tomato rabbit, baked rice and
,heese, baked crackers and cheese, vege-
able and cheese rolls, cheese omelet,
oatmeal and cheese, and cheese mush.
