ed in our great storage centers in such quantities as seldom before, and must soon be marketed and consumed tc make room for the supply of fresh come in much larger quantities from farms and poultry yards.
 Cheese is one of the most useful foods we can buy now. It contains in condensed form practically all the food value of milk. and is rich in pro- tein-that tissue building, waste re- pairing material which supplements the energy producing starch of bread and potatoes. Americans have de- pended largely on meat for protein. and since we must limit our use of this food, we are fortunate in having a good supply of cheese in store tc side Of our diet.
 Fish and other sea foods that are marketed in their fresh stete should be freely substituted for meat where ever the supply and price will war rant. Those whose means allow more expenditure for food than rigid econ on5 might dictate should use fish free ly, even though poor catches and other unfavorabIe conditions raise prices somewhat above normal.
 Vegetables should stpplant some of the more copcentrated foods upon our tables, and fruits be used freely, since both of these groups of foods serve valuable purposes in nutrition and are indispensable in maintaining good di- gestfon and regulating other bodily functions.
 If the great majority of Americans who lead more or less sedentary lives. learn to substitute these perishabie and bulky foods for part of the meat they have hitherto considered essen tial. the war will not iR the end be counted an unnlitigated evil.
 ''But more important even than the beteruaent Of our meals, is a very diff ferent reason for increasing at this time our consumption of perishable products. Of many of these. partic- ularly of potatoes, poultry and eggs. and vegetables, large stocks are held and these stocks must soon move to the markets. Ample supply with short demand causes tow prices: low prices following high cost of produc- tion means wiping out of profits; and loss of legitimate profit means lessen ed production. Serious reduction in the amount Of any of these perishahle products, through lessened acreage, a slaughter of producing birds or ar1i- fnais or disposal of the equipment needed for production would cause such serious disturbance in the general agricultural situation that great loss to our total food supply must result
 This situation only consumers can relieve, by a careful, economical 1n- crease in the !=se of the more perish able foods"

FIRST REGIMENT IS
 HOMEWARD BOUND
Arkansas Soldiers Leave Dem- ing With Banners Waving From Cars-DecreaSe in Sick ness Among Arkansas Boys.

Deming, N. M., Feb. 4.-The past week was one more busy time for the First Arkansas, preparing for the longed-for homegoing. The first ot the week the horses and mules were turned in, and all condemned and extra equipment was turned over to the quartermaster.
 Wednesday the regiment was paid, bringing joy to the merchants down. town. Thursday everything was talk en to the train, the tents taken from the wooden huts, and the men slept i that night in the mess halls, which was a chilly proposition, as the night was so cold that ice was frozen. Fri day morning was cold day, with chilling wind blowing from the noun tans and the men felt the lack of tents. There was really no need in taking them down, as there was ample time to load them Friday morning. The Delaware boys got away first, over the same route as the First, passing through Little Rock ahead of them. The route this time is through San Antonio and Austin, Tex, and then to Texarkana.
 Each car has it's banner on the side, with fitting expressions of sentiment such as "Homeward Bound" Prom l Hell to Arkansas" " "To He'll With the Border" Look Out, You Tenderfoot; Universal Trainingll Get You. We're Strong for It." One company came down with this banner: Company l. Will Give Villa He'll" They have it changed now to Company L Got He'll"
 The cars were late coming in, which delayed the departure of the First un- til late, but they finally got away. The Second Regiment band was there to give a farewell concert, in which Inappropriate selections were given, in- cluding several funeral dirges and "Auld Lang Syne," What the He'll do We Care?" and "The Girl I Left Be l hind Me" The last was singularly appropriate. as the boys were think ing of the girls left in Arkansas, while the local girls who were present thought it applied to them. There is sadness in Deming at the going away of the First, especially among the saloon keepers, as the men and off cers were liberal spenders and held many social affairs that will be missed in the social life of the little border town. They gave farewell concert and dance on Thursday night, which was well attended.
 The general expectation now is that the Second will get away about the | first of March. All the horses have been ordered turned in by the 10th of this month for shipment to Fort Bliss. at Fl Paso There has been Q great decrease in the amount of sick ness among the Arkansas boys, and there are very few in the hospital. Most of these are convalescent.
