A MAN OF VISION,
AND ACTION

There is sound sense in the sugges-
ton that Theodore Roosevelt should
be selected to represent the United
States in the conference of the Allies.
When the war in Europe began he
was the first to see the path of duty
which lay before the American people,
and he was the most courageous in
sounding the call to arms. In him
the Allies will recognize a man or
courage, of vision and Of action. No
other mar in any country could WELD
as large an influence as he is a gath

"Oranges" by Telephone Do Not
Sound the Same

TINE man Of the family happened to see
oranges for 10 cents dozen on his
way home from work. As he was not
sure of the state of the home orange supply,
he did not venture TO buy, but went home and
reported TO the general manager.
She was more than willing to lay in some or
anges at 10 cents dozen, so the telephone was
called into service, and the store where the or
anges had been seen responded:
Oranges for 10 cents dozen On, no! Our
oranges are 20 cents a dozen. We have never
had any for 10 cents"
Query: How often, when you telephone for
your supplies and are not able to check up on
the prices, do you suppose this happens to you?
Would you buy velvet dress or a pair Of
silk stockings, or even bit Of lace for your
neck, without seeing it? Why should you buy
your family food sight unseen and unpriced?
Such methods of dealing are haphazard, a
temptation to the grocery man and afford
legitimate well as legtimate oppor-
tunity for an increase in price.
We are not always paying for food. Often
we are paying for service when we demand spe.
cial attention at the last minute by telephone
and automobile delivery,

THE time has come to take the family
platter and old-fashioned soup tureen
4 from obscurity, and put the fancy
dishes and the bouillon cups on the top pantry
shelf. In other words. it is time to get down
10 business and accept with the best grace pos
sible wartime conditions.
The twelve-course dinner long ago slipped
into ancient history; the fve-course dinner
survived the beginning Of the war but q short
time and was succeeded by the three-course
meal that still exists in spots. But most Of US
have got to the point Of saying, IKE the
American soldier who chafed at the French
course dinner, that we don't want to oe sur
prised but fed.
The nightmare of high prices brought on by
our archaic methods of distribution, that slow
y stalked ne for the last three years has been
made still more realistic by war conditions
and the remedy is not yet in sight. So the
question now before the housekeeper is ho"

Of us are expected to make the most OF what

staples which will stand shipment abroad.
Most hotels are serving Ia carte only and
cutting out all extras. IN private families The
soution Of the problem seems to be The one
dish dinner. This may be preceded by soup
or appetizer, and followed by a simple dessert
or fruit.
II is much wiser to concentrate ones forces
on one good satisfying dish dinner than to
persist in trying to get the table dh6te effect.
Zach nation has its national dish boiled,
steamed. roasted. or baked dish which Is

ally mortgaging ones right to place in the
sun.
Plenty must be provided for the household;
enough To- give strength for the labor each one
IS to perform, in whatever field it lies. The
home breakfast starts the day, or should do so.
Happily, luncheon is to most people an in
formal bite-except to men and children who
carry it from home and those fortunate ones
who need not worry about the small econ
omies of life. So the dinner is the main meal
Of tho day.
A search for satisfying dishes takes us into
the familiar realms of chowders, stews, boiled
dinners, fish buildings, meat pies, and the ever
faithful baked beans, before we are driven to
look to other countries for dinner dish par
excellence.
Extra labor expended in preparation is usu-
ally the price Of economy, but it is never
wasted if the result Is satisfactory in the end.
These few recipes may open avenues of thought
through which others may readily suggest
themselves to aid our compulsory war economy
by bringing back the old-fashioned hearty one
