BIG Demand for Bulletin

The demand for the food conserva-
tion bulletin prepared by the home
economics department OF the Univer-
sity OF South Dakota was so great
that is became necessary to reprint
the bulletin almost Immediately. Re
quests for copies were received from
all parts of the Missouri valley and
from Minnesota and other northwest
ern states. Prof. Eva r. Robinson
is preparing a second bulletin which
probably will be issued in few weeks
and which will contain further sug-
gestions for homekeepers who want
to Hooverize. There will also be some
general directions as to saving fats
and scraps. Fat from any kind OF
meat may be clarified and used in
place OF the more common household
fats. If fat hen is to be baked the
excess fat should be removed and fried
out. Meat that has with it any surplus
fat should furnish its quota of fat to
be fried out.

THRIFT is VICTORY RECIPE
Frank A. VanderIip Says Business
Must Not Compete With
the Government.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Frank A. Wander
lip, national director of the United
States war savings campaign, has
aroused Chicago and other cities in
which he has spoken during the last
few days, To perfect frenzy for thrift.
The idea he inculcates Is not that
the thrifty should hoard. but should
save and lend to government their
money, first because the government
needs the money for a successful pros
ecution Of the war. and secondly be-
cause the government needs, even
worse, the labor employed In making
the articles that the people demand
things that they are better Off without,
but which form a large part of he
manufacturing industry of the United
States.
"We must make the people see that
II Is not the money they give, but the
money they refrain from spending
otherwise, that Is the great help. We
must make the boy see, for example,
that If he buys baseball he is using
rubber that might go into an ambu-
lance tire. He is using leather that
might go into a soldiers boot. He is
using labor, he Is using shop room.
He is directly taking away from the
government the means to quickly and
thoroughly equip the army. He will
consider whether he cannot wait for
that baseball
81 am not going to propose anything
that will wreck business. l am not
proposing receivers for the manufac.
turers of nonessentials. Let us make
this war lesson as clear as possible.
and we will still have n great bust
ness in luxuries, dlsturbingly great
business in luxuries, because labor
never before was so fully employed at
such high wages"

CONQUEST AND KULTUR

Let it be the task then of our
diplomacy 50 TO shuttle the cards
that we may be attacked by
France, for then there would be
reasonable prospect that Russia
for a time would remain neu-
tral. We must not hope
TO bring about this attack by
waiting passively. Neither
France nor Russia nor England
need to attack in order TO furth-
er their interests. So long as
we shrink from attack, they can
force us to submit to their will
by diplomacy, as the upshot of
the Moroccan negotiation shows.
If we wish to bring about an
attack by our opponents we
must initiate an active policy,
which, without attacking
France, will so prejudice her in
terests or those Of England that
both those states would feel
themselves compelled to attack
us. Opportunities for such pro-
cedure are offered both in At
rica and in Europe.-Bernhardi,
