NATIONAL NEWS NOTES.
Brief Bits of News and Comments On
Men and Measures.
CONFERENCE TAKES UP CUES
TONS OF WAR PROHIBITION.
Reported by the Associated Press.

New York, May IA Conference
on Prohibition during the war was held
here today between a committee of
sixty, representing the Council of Ma
tional Defense and representative of
the United States Brewers Association.
The brewers reminded members of the
Council that the brewers had placed
themselves unreservedly at the presi-
dent s service and added:
"They are prepared to make any
sacrifice for the country's sake that
competent authority after investigation
may demand. They insist that any at
tempt to force the administration into
radical action without due inquiry and
consideration in order to exploit a
favorite theory is not only mischiev-
ously but decidedly unpatriotic.
The theory alluded to, the brewers
said, was that the brewing industry
was using up a large proportion of the
nation s cereals.
In presenting their statement the
brewers said they were "wel aware
that the committee of sixty is a prohi-
bition body, seduously seeking to bring
about the adoption of that system as a
war measure, despite the fact that, as
its letters show, it is not in possession
of complete information on the sub
ject."
Little Foodstuff Used.
The brewers told the committee their
actual consumption of foodstuffs last
year was less than 100000 bushels
of grain. They added that based upon
the government s estimate of a 1917
production of 100000 barrels of beer
proposed federal liquor taxes would
yield more than $137 100000.
The statement pointed out that the
brewers cooked grain that is turned
over for feeding of cattle, stimulates
the flow of milk.
cit would be reasonable to suppose"
the statement says, "that one result
which would follow the stoppage of
brewing would be an increase in the
price of milk in many cities" 1t
points out further that the European
nations at war serve rations of beer or
light wines to their troops "showing
that they regard the light alcoholic in
some form as a necessity"
"These are evidences" the state
ment concludes, "that there is much
corn still held on the farms in this
country because of the difficulty in
it to market. 1t must be
plain from this and other circumstances
that the chief problem in regard to
the food supply relates to transporta-
ton and the prevention of specula-
tion.'

KITCHEN ECONOMY.

The current issue of Home Life, a
Chicago magazine, gives some excel
lent hints on "Kitchen Thrift" that
should be of value to housewives.
Here are some of the practical sugges-
lions offered:
Don t throw out any left overs that
can be reheated or combined with other
foods to make palatable and nourish-
ing dishes.
Every bit of uneaten cereal can be
used to thicken soups, stews or gravies.
Stale bread can be used as a basis
for many attractive meat dishes, hot
breads and desserts.
Every ounce of skinned or whole
milk contains nourishment. Use every
drop, either to drink or to add to
cereals, soups, sauces and other foods.
Sour milk and buttermilk are valuable
in many kinds of cooking; do not waste
any.
Every bit of meat or fish left over
can he combined with cereals or vege-
tables for making meat cakes, meat or
fish pies, and to add flavor and food
value to other dishes.
Every bit of clean fat trimmed from
meat and every spoonful of drippings
and every bit of grease that rises when
meat is boiling can be clarified and
used. Don't fatten your garbage pail
at the expense of your bank account.
Valuable food and flavoring get into
the water in which rice and many other
vegetables are cooked. Use such water
for soup making.
Don't pour your nourishment down
the sewer.
Careless pairing of fruits and vege-
tables means waste.
Finally, you must know your job.
Make it your business to know what
foods and how much your family needs
to be efficient. Learn how to make
the most of the foods you buy.
Just now there is a good deal of
talk about good and bad housing. And
this naturally leads to the inquiry,
"What is good housinga" Well, to
answer this query briefly, here are the
fundamental things that make for good
housing, there should be in every home:
Space, that is plenty of room in
which to work, play and sleep without
crowding and without trespassing on
the rights of others.
Unlimited supply of clean, fresh air
to promote bodily health and vigor.
Plenty of light and sunshine with
clean, attractive surroundings to add
to the joy of living.
Thorough drainage, which means
freedom from dampness and musty
odors.
Adequate and decent toilet facilities
to insure cleanliness in both person
and apparel.
Proper protection from winter cold
and summer heat, so that a proper in
door temperature may be had all the
time.
An unrestricted supply of pure water
for drinking and all household uses.
Freedom from the nerve racking
noises, especially at night when rest
and repose are essential for both health
