source of their meat production Is
decreasing At the same time the
needs of their soldiers and war
workers have increased the neces-
sary meat consumption. Our meat
exports to our allies are now almost
three times what they We're before
the war. The needs of the allies
will steadily increase. because their
own production of food animals will
steadily decrease because of lack of
feed for them. If we will save one
ounce of meat per person per day
we can send our allies what meat
they need.
WHY WE MUST SEND BUTTER
AND MILK.--The decreasing herds
and the lack of fodder mean a
steady falling off in dairy products
of the allies. They have been ASK
ing for larger and larger exports
from us. Last year we sent them
three times as much butter and al

most ten times as much condensed
milk as we used to send them be-
fore the war. Yet we must not only
keeq up this level but do still bet
ter.
WHY WE MUST SEND SUGAR.
Before the war France. Italy. and
Belgium produced as much sugar as
they used. while England drew most
of its supply from what are now
enemy countries. France and Italy
era producing less than they need.
while England Is cut off from 80
per cent of her usual imports.
now draw 100000 tons more sug-
ar than they did before the war
from the same source from which
We draw our supplies. We must
divide with them. We can do 1t ny
economizing. The usual American
consumption is just double that of
France.

mally use it, our allies have few
corn mills, and corn meal is not
durable enough to be shipped by
us in large quantities.. Moreover.
the allies do not make their breao
at home; it is all made in bakeries.
and corn bread cannot be distrib-
uted from bakeries. There Is Du,
one way: we must reduce our Use
of wheat. We use now an average
of five pounds of wheat -four per
person per week. The whole prop
lem can be met if we will substitute
one pound of corn or other cerea,
-four for one pound of wheat -four
weekly per person; that is, If We
reduce our consumption of wheat
-four from five pounds per week to
four pounds week.
WHY WE MUST SEND MORE

WHY WE MUST SEND MORE

their reduction in harvest, they

of the allies cannot substitute corn
alone for bread, as we can. They
are using other cereals added to

cent of corn for wheat. We have
plenty of corn to send them, but,

NEW FORO's CREEK BRIDGE
PIER ALSO bUNCuNG JOb.

The Republican has at last been
able to confirm the rumor that the
high water of last spring came near
taking out one of the concrete piers
at the new county bridge at the
mouth of Fords Creek, and we are
told on the best of authority that
unless this pier is repaired before
another raise in the stream that it
is probable the bridge will collapse.
Frank White, one of the most reli-
able and competent road men in the
county, who was road supervisor of
the Fords Creek district until re-
Gently, says the pier is undermined
at one end and will hardly stand
another flood unless the pier is re-
paired.
One Of the men who worked on
the job when the piers were put in,
and who helped to dig the holes for
the concrete, says they went into
the wash gravel only about "a in
ches, and expressed himself at the
time as certain the pier would not
stand high water. This man says
teh foundation was not down to
anything like a solid foundation
and he was surprised the surveyor
looking after the county's interest,
would do a job that was so mani
festly rotten. instead of putting
them down to solid footings that
would stand high water.
Inquiry shows that Robert Swade-
ner was employed to look after the
interests of the county on this job
When asked what should be done
to save this structure, and to safe
;uard if from any future high water
cur informants said:
"Sink to bedrock at once and put
IN a protecting pier and stop any
further undermining when the neXl
high water hits this bridge"
How long is it to take Clearwater
county to learn that concrete piers
stuck in the sand of any our rapic
mountain streams will not stand, anc
is money thrown away?

WHY We MUST HODYER|zE
If We WOULD WIN WAR,

The men of the allied nations are
fighting; they are not on the farms.
The production of food by these
countries has therefore been greatly
reduced. Even before the war it
was much less than the amount con-
sumed. The difference came from
America and a few other countries.
Now this difference is greater than
ever and, at the same time, but lit
tie food can be brought in from the
outside except from America.
Therefore, our allies depend on
America as they have never de-
pended before. and they ask us for
il with a right which they have
never had before. For to-day they
are companions in the great war for

waste no part of it. The children
must have whole milk; therefore,
use less cream. There is a great
waste of food by not using all
skim and sour milk. Sour milk
can be used in cooking and to make
cottage cheese. Use buttermilk and
cheese freely.
FATS CLUTTER, LARD, ETC y
Dairy butter has food value vital to
children. Therefore, use it on the
table as usual, especially for chliu-
rem Use as little as possible III
cooking. Reduce the use of fried
foods to reduce the consumption of
lard and other fats. Use vegetable
oils, such as olive and cottonseed
oil. Save daily one-third of an

OUR PROBLEM is to feed our al
lilies this winter by sending them d,
much food as we can of the most
concentrated nutritive value in the
least shipping space. These foods
are wheat, beef, pork. dairy pro-
ducts, and sugar.
OUR SOLUTION is to eat less OF
these and more of other foods OF
which we have an abundance, and
to waste less of all foods.
BREAD AND CEREALS.-Have
al least one wheatless meal day.
Use corn, oats, rye, barley, or muf-
fms, and breads in place of white
bread certainly for one meal and, If
possible, for two. Eat less cake and
pastry,

ounce of animal fat, Waste no soap
for it contains fat and the glycerine
necessary for explosives. You can
make scrubbing soap at home, and,
in some localities, you can sell
your saved fats to the soap maker,
who will thus secure our needed
glycerine.
SUGAR.-Use less candy and
sweet drinks. Use less sugar IN
tea and coffee. Use honey. maple
sirup, and dark sirups for hot cakes
and waffles without butter or sugar.
Do not frost or ice cakes Do not
stint the use of sugar in putting mp
fruits and jams. They may be usea
in place of butter.
VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-10-12

AS for white bread. if you buy
from baker. order it a day in ad
vance; then he will not bake beyond
his needs. Cut the loaf on the
table table and only as requireu.
Use stale bread for toast and cook
ing.
MEAT.-Nse more poultry, rab-
bits, and especially fish and sea
food in place Of beef. mutton, and
pork. Do not use either beef NUT
ton, or pork more than once daily
and then serve smaller portions.
Use all leftover meat cold or IN
made dishes. Use soups more free
ly. Use beans; they have nearly
the same food value as meat.
MILK.--Use all of the milk,
