lowing the battle of the Marne, is to-

heels OF the retreating German army.
Twelve miles to the south French

line beyond General Neivelle has
been able to occupy TergnleA an i'm
portant railroad junction less than
two miles from La Fere, apparently
without encountering serious resist
ance.
The only fact to offset these evf-
dences that the Germans are stili re-
tiring is that the advance of both the
British and French materially slack
ened yesterday.
This is officially explained as due
to an eQuinoctal gale which swept
over the blackened wilderness thru
which the opposing armies are man
euyering
The British advance has been con-
stantly slower than that Of the
French and are still an appreeisble
distance from Cambria their near
est outpost being about twelve miles
from that city The importance of
Cambria lies in the fact that It is
the principal barrier between the al
lies and the great French coal and
iron fields around Valeciennes, 90
miles further on. These fields have
been in possession of the Germans
since the first sweep through Bel

While uncertainty still reigns as
to the outcome OF the great drama be

continue their efforts to create re-

so far nothing has developed to in
dicate that the major operations is
under way
The only fighting reported from any
other theatre is that along the Ma
cedonia front Here the fighting be-
tween the Bulgar- Teutonic forces and
Gen Sarrall's French troops has been
steadily growing in severity with
conflicting reports as its result.

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

If home-baked bread were uniformly
well made, it 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 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
breastuffs in any one of these forms.
This quantity is the equivalent of one
pound of baked bread. AS matter
of fact, however, It is not probable
that in the average family this guam
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 a hygienic point of view should be
used more extensively than 1T usually
Is, declare the experts.

ANOTHER HINT ON ECONOMY
Or. Bailey of State University Advises
kansans to Make TT cir Own
Breakfast Foods.

Isn't sixty cents pound rather high
to pay for a breakfast feed that is
made entirely from wheat? That
makes the wheat retail for $36
bushel in the form of breakfast food
and isn't $50 a bushel rather high for
wheat even in war times? DR.. E. H.
s. Bailey, head of the chemistry de-
partment in the University of Kansas
and specialist in foods, asks these
questions Doctor Bailey says that is
just what it costs to eat a certain kind
of popular breakfast food. Another
wheat breakfast food that retails for
sixteen cents pound makes the con-
sumner pay $3.50 a bushel for wheat
and still another that retails for TWEEN
ty-four cents a package charges the
housewife who buys it s14.40 bushel
for wheat. No. hard wheat is sell
ing at around So busnel now. Other
breakfast foods make the consumer
pay $3.50 to $25 bushe1 for wheat and
around 81 bushel for corn The
Kansas City market quotes corn at
close to s1.7O a bushe1
ut is an uneventful day no new
breakfast food is put on the market"
Doctor Bailey said. Most wonder
full are the virtues ascribed to them,
but isn't it common sense that pro-
ducts made from wheat, corn, or other
grain cannot contain any more brain
food 'anti-fat' or other nutrition than
is contained in the wheat, corn or
other grain? A few years ago the
housewife arose early to cook the fam
lily oatmeal or mush. Today she must
have these expensive hurry-up foods
in fancy packages. While we are
studying economy would it not be a
good plan to use a little gas, oil or
stove wood in cooking breakfast food
than in paying such high prices for
them? An excellent breakfast food
that is put on the market under var
ious fancy names consists of what
the millers call the first and second
breaks of the wheat as it is being
milled."
Breaks or wheat germs may be had
in small bags at most mills and Uni
versity teachers who have bought
them have greatly lessened their
breakfast food bills.

MUST FIGHT GARDEN PESTS
State EntomoIogist Reports Unusual
Numbers of Insects Causing
Damage This Year.

The chinch bug peril hasn't devel
oped this year because of the late
spring, but w. H. Wellhouse of the
University of Kansas entomology de-
partment reports unusual numbers of
aphids, among which are the common
ly known plant lice and green bugs,
in the southeastern part of the state.
On a trip about Ottawa, Garnett, In
dependence, Chanute, Eureka, Par
sons, Fort Scott, Girard and La Cygne
last week Mr.. Wellhouse also found
the Colorado potato beetle in destruc-
tive numbers. Aphids and potato
beetles are the chief pests the state
entomology commission is having to
right this year.
Aphids, BLACK plant lice" and
green bugs" are proving destructive
to gardens and Sam J. Hunter, state
entomologist and head of the entom-
ology department of the University,
suggests that the home gardener
spray the affected plants with one OF
the nicotine solutions to which enough
soap has been added TO make suds. In
low plants, such as bunch beans, the
plants mus. be bent over and the
spray applied so it strikes the under
side of the leaves and every insect
on them. a cheap hand spray will do
the work in a small garden.
A soap solution also is good to BAN
ish the plant lice. For small garden.
