RHUBARD IS GOOD
FRUIT SUBSTITUTE
( is Easily Grown and Can Be Bought
CheaPly On the Market-Has
Same General Effect
rs Oranges

Oregon Agriculture College, Cor
Wallis. Oregon.-The value and the
use Of rhubarb As q part of the diet
are strongly emphasized by domestic
science experts. 1t is pointed out
hat this fruit Is easily raised and
can be obtained at reasonable price
on the market. and is therefore with
in the reach Of every family. In
general, the effect OF the use Of rhu-
barb h the same as that Of oranges,
except that it contains oxalic acid
which makes it unsuitable for people
afiiicted with gravel. Although 1t
is botanically . vegetable, it is gen
orally used as fruit" Rhubarb is
especially beneficial in the spring
when the system has been nourished
lon heavier food. and because it be-
Gomez available earlier than most
other vegetables.
Suggestions are also advanced for
the preparation Of rhubarb for ta-
BILE use, and several recipes are CIV
en-, two of which are as follows:
Rinbnrb Pie
IK cups rhubarb stalks cut In "
inch pieces.
u cup sugar
2 eggs
8 table spoons cracker crumbs
Mix sugar, cracker crumbs and egg,
add rhqbarb and bake In open crust
as for custard pie. Make meringue
of the egg whites. cover pie and
brown in slow oven.
Steamed Rhubnrb Sauce
quart rhubarb cut in N inch
pieces
2cups sugRr.
Cut on the leaves and the root and
wash the stalks. and cut in one hail
inch lengths. Put the rhubarb into
a double boiler, add the sugar, mix

JUDGES ANNOUNCE
 PRIZE AWARDING Rules Governing the Giving of $500 a Month to
 Red Cross.

Bridgeport, Dec. 19.-Morgan G. Bulkeley, Isaac M. Ullman and John H. Goss, who are to act as judges in awarding the prize of $500 a month for the duration of the war offered to the Connecticut Red Cross chapter which makes the best showing in the membership campaign, announced to- day to Walter B. Lashark, chairman of the state campaign, that the fol- lowing rules would determine the award:
 "The prize to go to the chapter scoring the greatest number of points.
 One point to be counted for each per cent. of population enrolled in the Red Cross in the territory covered by chapter.
 "One point to be counted for each per cent. by which total enrolment exceeds quota assigned to chapter.
 Thus, if a chapter located in a town of 10000 inhabitants had 5000 members on it's books at the end of the campaign, it would be entitled to 50 points on the population basis, having enrolled 50 per cent. of the available population. If the same chapters quota has been set at 2,5OO, it would be entitled to 100 points on the quota basis, having exceeded its quota by 100 per cent. It's standing for the prize would then be set at 15O points,

FUEL SHORTAGE HITS H. S.
Social Activities Formerly Held in
 Evening Are Postponed.

Because of the shortage of fuel, it is probable that number of the so- cial activities of the high school will be discontinued for the time being. To save fuel, and economize on lights, meetings of clubs formerly held at night, will be no longer held.
 The meeting of the Commercial club which was to be held this eve ming vii be postponed for this reason. Although there is enough coal at the high school to last for some time, every means of conserving it will be adopted in the future.
 The bi-month1y dance of the Teach ers club will be postponed until aft CT Christmas.
