HOUSEKEEPER WRITES

The Hoover plan for conserving
the nations food supply will have
exactly opposite financial results, &C
cording to the housewives previous
habits. Those who have never had
to think much about economy in
food will find that in carrying out
the suggestions, they are saving
money; but those who have already
had to reduce their expenditures for
food to the least possible amount
will find that at the present prices
they are being asked to substitute
higher-priced article for staple
necessity. This is a wise and patri-
otto act for those whose incomes are
more or, less in excess of actual
necessary living expenses, but the
women of limited means must ac-
complish their saving by skillful
management backed by the wisdom
that comes from long experience.
However, they also can help the con-
servation movement greatly by max
ing public the thrift ideas, the little
things they do to save the pennies
and the many practical ways they
have discovered to stretch" the
meat, the sugar, the lard and all
the other household necessities.
Those women, who are now trying
to economic for the first time in
all their lives, want to know the
very things that have become irk-
some to us from long enforced prac-
tice.
In the first place, economy of food
is not economy of time and trouble.
Most of the cheaper foods are lot
of bother to prepare and many of
them take considerable time. You
can't stay in bed till 10 o'clock and
cook soup-bone or pot-roast for the
noon meal nor rush home after the
5 o'clock whistle blows and prepare
scalloped potatoes and fresh baked
corn bread for a o'clock supper.
There's more good eating in a
quarters worth of cracked hominy
than in a like value of any similar
article that I know Of, but 1t takes
long, slow cooking, constant watch
ing and occasional stirring. 1t be-
hooves those of us who are free to

OF course, but what's bother to

Divide into the serving dishes all

cooked and it will all be eaten; don't

be wasted.
Take lard from the bucket with
knife and scrape it clean; enough
sticks to a spoon to waste notice
able quantity.
If potatoes cook off into the water

them in their skins or in some way

For meatless dinners. Save the
liquor from a boil of beef until the
next day. Remove the cake of fat
from the top and save it for frying
purposes. Add water to the meat
broth If necessary and cook noodles
in it for the main dish of the meal.
Another way is to put all the scraps
of meat left from the first meal
thru the food chopper, return them
to the liquor, bring to the boiling
point and thicken with corn meal
till it is like mush. Cool, slice and
fry brown. If the meat happens to
be pot-roast make lots of gravy
with it and save all that is left from

Save lard by not making pies;

THE ARMY Y. M. @. A.

Whether it be the evening and
Sunday leisure hours in camp, or the
rest periods of practice marches, the
Y. M. C. A.. follows the soldier boys
of Uncle Sam wherever they go. Or.
more strictly speaking, it precedes
them, for the "Y" buildings are al

khaki reach the camps and the "Y"
tents are always waiting when the
fighting men reach lunch stop in
the strenuous hikes.
The service which the ''Y" renders
is as varied as the needs of the men
themselves. And as to it's effective
ness all the needed testimony is that
of the men themselves.

In the same camp was another
young soldier who listened to an ad-
dress given one evening in the "Y"
auditorium by DR.. George R. Stair
on "The Potter's Clay" After the
sermon and after the invitation had
been given and the men were sign
ing the "War Roll" and were being
presented with the customary pocket
testament given to soldiers, one
young man, approached by Bagley
upon the question of making de-
cision, responded affirmatively at
once. When the testament was
handed to him he said: I'm doing
something for you that I refused to
do for my mother. When l LETT my

HOSPITAL NOTES

Miss Crystal Cannon of Blackfoot
is at St. Marks hospital, Salt Lake,
in the probation work. This covers
period of three months, and if
she is approved at the end of that
time and still wants to continue she
receives cap as a recognition of
accomplishing satisfactorily that

years approved service, a nurse
receives bib and cuffs, and at the
end of three years she graduates and

Miss Alice Reay of Blackfoot has
served a year and half at st.
Marks and is working hard to finish
the course.
Miss June Randall, former
Blackfoot girl, graduated there
few years ago, and nurses who have
been several years with the hospital
recall that she did not get along
we'll with the other nurses, and they
say that she even INDUCED in quar-
rels with patients in her charge. She
is reported to have married and gone
back south.
Hospital gossip says that some
people on being revived from the in
fluence of the anesthetic become
talkative and make queer remarks.
Some are chatty and some rave and
throw themselves about. Sometimes
a lady of refinement astOnishes her
friends or relatives by swearing a
streak of such language as she was
never known to have used or heard.
But they let her swear or lie or sing
or chat. as she chooses, for 1t is
hard enough at best. Some talk of
their loved ones or make love to the
nurse or the doctor, and 1t is not
taken seriously, tho all the while
they are doing their level best to
save the patients strength and keep
everything clean and sanitary.
In a hospital one hears some hos

Illustrating how some folks place a
peculiar value on the human anat-
omy:
A Greek, who had been operated
on for appendicitis, returned after
some weeks with friend, who was
also afflicted. A day or two after
the operation the Greek number one
came back to see his friend, and
was shown the appendix taken from
Greek number two. He asked how
muh the doctor charged for remov-
ing that one, and on being told, he
became hostile and said he had paid
the same price, and the one they
took from him was no more than
half as large, and he wanted part

A specialist down in the Boston
building operates on noses and re-
moves growths called spurs that OBJ

came in together, both troubled with
spurs in the nose, and when the
second one was operated on, the
part removed was small, and he had
paid the same price for the surgery.
He did not demand money back, but
sat down again in the operating
chair and demanded that more flesh
and gristle be cut out to make his
case equal in bulk to the other.
The specialist explained to him
that it would damage his nose to
have anything more disturbed and
that too large a breathing tube was
as bad as too small, but the GUS
toner insisted on cutting out more,
and pointed to the difference Of size
as evidence that he was receiving

GOVERNMENT APPEALS TO
FARMERS FOR SUGAR BETS

The appreciation of the authorities
in Washington over the loyal re-
sponses of the farmers Of the west
and the action of the Utah beet
growers and the sugar companies in
getting together in harmonious ar
rangement for next year has been
especially commended. The serious
ness of the sugar situation the last
few days has again brought the sub
ject to the front, and in a recent
telegram received by the food admin
istration of Utah, from Herbert
Hoover, our farmers are again urged
to come to the aid of the country by
increasing the acreage of sugar
beets.
Mr.. Hoover's telegram to the local
administration agents is as follows:
Zone of the most vital problems
confronting this nation Is that OF
procuring sufficient sugar to meet
the requirements of our people and
of the allied nations fighting our
common battle. The production of
cane sugar in this hemisphere can
and will be increased to a limited de-
gree, but we must rely upon the
farmers in sugar beet producing sec
lions of the country for part of the
needed supply.
Therefore, earnestly appeal to
every farmer so situated to come to
this country's aid in this hour of
need. without the cooperation of
the American beet grower, our task
will be very difficult and our ability
to respond to the calls to be made
upon us for this very essential COM
modify will be curtailed. 1t is at
least the duty of every beet grower
to maintain in 1918 his normal acre
age Of sugar beets.
1T is his privilege to increase that
acreage to the extent that well bal
anced production of crops will permit
and in this matter effectively demon
strate his patriotism. Desert News.

In the treatment of both exterior
and interior, there are possibilities OF
beauty, charm, comfort, convenience,
too often passed by unreaiized. There
is no valid reason for the lack OF
individuality characterizing the most
of the fine residences in our large
cities. Many of them have fine sites,
