Oregon Cheese for Oregon People

An urgent appeal is being made by
W. B. Aver, federal food administrator
for Oregon, for Oregon people to eat
Oregon cheese.
"The United States Food administra-
tion is making an effort to have cheese
used more literally throughout the ma
tion in the diet of the American peo-
pie" says Mr.. Aver, "and the admin.
istration here in Oregon is making a
special effort to bring about a greater
consumption of cheese in this state, for
special reason.
There are three reasons why Ore
gon people should eat Oregon cheese as
a regular feature of their diet. First,
because cheese used as substitute
will conserve more meat products for
our armies and our allies. Scond, sup
port will be given to the Oregon indus.
try of cheese manufacture, and through
it to the dairying industry, which is
now greatly hampered by the high cost
of feed and other difficulties. Third,
because the utilization of food com.
modify already at hand will release ad-
ditional railroad facilities for the
transportation of other greatly needed
commodities.
Cheese is one of the chief tissue
building foods and contains high nutri-
tive values in compact form. 1t may
be perpared in many appetizing ways
and should be very popular meat SUBJ
stitute. Let every Oregon family
make point of having cheese in the
house, and let every Oregon housewife
exercise her ingenuity in preparing it
in tempting dishes that win bring about
proper appreciation of this fine Ore
gon product"

Care is also taken to see that mail

Adulterated Formaldehyde Found

Adulterated formaldehyde is being
sold in Oregon markets. Formalde-
hyde, or formalin, is universally en-
ployed as a disinfectant, is the most
effective agent for destroying smut
spores in grain. and is a general gase-
Gus fumigant. The adulteration en-
dangers its effectiveness unless its real
strength is known and used as the
basis of treatment.
For practical purposes f0rmaldehyde
may be obtained from local druggists
in a 35 to 40 per cent water solution.
This solution is then diluted with
water to the strength best adapted to
the intended use. Until so diluted and
uesd it should be kept in tightly stop
pered bottles or jugs in cool place.
Recently several samples have been
sent to the department of agricultural
chemistry at the o. A. c. experiment
station to have the strength deter.
mined. Analyses by Prof. R. H. Rob-
inson showed the samples contained
from II to "a per cent formaldehyde,
although branded as 40 per cent
strength. They are not up to the
standard, and are either of inferior
manufacture or else diluted.
In order to protect the farmer and
get line on the material being sold,
the department will test samples sent
in by citizens of Oregon provided they
are taken as directed and accompanied
by the following data:
Name and address of the firm from
which the formaldehyde was obtained,
and date of purchase send in tightly
stoppered four ounce bottle that has
been washed and thoroughly dried !;
samples not left for any length of
time exposed to open air send by pre-
paid express to Agricultural Chemistry

Soldiers Song
Tune. Auld Lang Syne

Tune, AUD Lang Syne
When battle reused earth's warlik'
bands
And Wilhelm reigned supreme,
He waved his scepter Ger all lands
And o'er all seas between.
No ships but his should sail the seas,
Old England he would starve,
And he would from all lands and seas
A world wide nation carve.
Now Johnny Bulls sailor lad
And so is Uncle Sam.
While France is not so very bad,
Italia seeks no calm.
Old England's ships are floating proud
The high seas Ger and Ger,
Her sons are shouting freedom loud
On many foreign shore.
Now Wilhelm Hohenzollern stands,
No fiendishness he'll shrink;
All who will not obey commands
He says that he will sink.
Poor Belgium, overrun and bled,
Now lies beneath the wave,
And Uncle Sam has nobly fed
Her people there to save.
The allied nations blow on blow
For freedom stand and strike.
Take orders from you, Wilhelm, no!
Who ever heard the like!
No, Wilhelm, we are freemen still,
The Stars and Stripes wave high,
And keep them waving yet we will
Until the day we die.
Our yankee blood is boiling red,
1t came from many lands,
From many climes its fires are fed,
Held close by many bands.
We will stand in a-'muddy trench
From now till crack of doom,
Till fate from US our beings wrench
Or shores of Canaan loom.
To serve no tyrant will we begin,
Old Glory waves on high;
We're in this fight, my boys, to win,
Well conquer though we die.

Among the idiomatic terms adopted

frequently than any other. In the sea-

or goes anywhere, he "shoves off"
A story comes from France of ma
rine who had been acting as orderly for
lieutenant. The officer sent him on
an errand and when he returned the
lieutenant was nowhere about. A poilu
who happened to be lettering in the vi

poilu, proud of his newly acquired ma
rine corps English, ''he have-what
you call-pushed over"

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2I.-When con
gress reconvenes next month for its
long session, n is not improbable
that Senator King Of Utah. will take
steps urging the severance Of diplo-
matte relations with Bulgaria.
This would mean the sending home
Of Stephen Pansretoff, the Bulgarian
minister.
Mention his name in diplomatic cir
cles here and 81 is always provocative
Of a response as to his charm Of man
ner. the many years he was a profes-
sor in Robert College, the educational
institution in Turkey so long main
tanned by American money, and the fact
that he married. an American woman.
Speak about the presence OF the Bull
garian legation in this country, de-
spite the fact that Bulgaria Is an active
ally Of our enemy, Germany, and men
in the state Department will tell yol
the legation serves, as Il were, as q
window through which we look into
the Central Powers.
Vice versa, however, the Bulgarian
legation is very decidedly a window
through which the Kaiser and his
agents look into the United States.
Just before he left on a Journey to
Honolulu, Senator King made a state
ment that indicated his hostility to
allies of our enemy having legations
