'The Entente is becoming such a

the manner in which its hollowness

Don't be finicky. Be willing to
try new foods. Certain plentiful
and nourishing foods widely used
and enjoyed in one section are prac-
tically unknown in other sections of
the country. Learn to know all
the good things, not few only,
says bulletin sent out by the
United States department of agri-
culture. People too easily get into
the food ruts; insist on eating only
the food they are used to, and re-
fuse to give fair trial to others.
This causes undue demand for GER
tain staples, with resulting scarcity
or high prices when crops are short.
At the same time other valuable
foods may be relatively cheap and
available. A striking instance of
this is the failure fully to appre-
ciate rice-a valuable source of
starch-when potatoes are scarce
and high. Another example is re-
fusal in certain sections to use any
thing but wheat as breadstuff,
when corn-a valuable cereal wide
ly used elsewhere as breadstuff-
is plentiful and relatively cheap.
Learn how to cook all kinds of
staple foods and to serve them in a
variety of ways. Simple dishes
prepared are better than expensive
foods badly cooked. Many persons
are prejudiced against certain good
foods because, when first tried, the
foods were improperly cooked or
prepared. Remove from your vo-
cabulary don't like" or can't eat. -
Most individual prejudices against
widely popular foods are either
imaginary or baseless. Try to like
every simple food; give it fair
trial.
1t isn't patriotic to take advan.
tage of the war declaration and do
things that will help advance prices.
Spectators in foodstufis are being
condemned. But the man who
buys years supply of -four and
other foodstuffs is doing just as
much to increase prices and make
others pay more. During the past
ten days the unusual purchases
have caused big advance in prices.
We all have to learn that unselfish
ness and patriotism are shown ir
the same manner. The man who
wears and waves a flag isn't show
ing true patriotism if he is selfish
enuf to provide for. himself by
stocking up in foodstuffs and let
ting others suffer later. The best

Well go to sea, the open sea,
The sea that is no mans own;
On lanes of green that God made free
Well fly as the gulls have flown.
No buster ours, no bluff, no brag,
But this. from sun to sun:
On the Yankee ship the Yankee flag
Above the Yankee gun!
Well follow the foam, the flying foam,
As white as our cause is white,
For every sea is a free mans home
And worth free mans fight.
And never the red-whitc-blue shall dip
To the black of pirate Hun
When the Yankee flag on the Yankee ship
Is backed by the Yankee gun!
Well 90 to the wave, the sun-kissed wave,
The wave that has never king,
And over the dead in the coral cave
Away with the wind we'll fling.
We will not linger, nor loaf, nor lag,
And never, indeed, we'll run
While the Yankee ship has the Yankee flag
Above the Yankee gun!
Well ride on the crest, the tossing crest
Untrammeled from pole to pole,
Our ships shall voyage in east and west
With no one to cry "Pav toll"
And never the foe our decks shall strip.
But ever our aim be won
When the Yankee flag on the Yankee ship
Waves "Fire!" to the Yankee gun!

In our humble opinion the GEN.
sorship provision of the espionage
bill is something that has been
needed for years. The average big
daily newspapers are after sensa-
tional news that will create a de-
mand for papers sold on the street
and if news of sensational nature
is not to be had, they resort to the
extremity of enlaging on the truth
to such an extent that their reports
are often extremely unreliable.
Strict censorship of the press would
not interfere with the liberty Of
publishing anything having news
value, providing the news contained
nothing of a military nature that
might be used against the United
States. Even in times of peace it
would be comfortable to pick up
our daily paper and know that the
information we were getting was
founded on facts.
Millions of bushels of grain are
being used to make intoxicants
which could be converted into food
or feed for stock. One of the best
opportunities for the organizations
which have been formed for increas-
ing food production, is presented
in centering their influence on linn
iting the manufacture of intoxicat
ing liquor. 1t takes a good many
acres of land to produce enough
grain to run the breweries and dis
tilleries in Milwaukee one day.
This is one of the many opportuni-
ties where effective work might be
done.
Why shouldn't retail stores have
two prices-one for the cash Gus
toner and another for those who
buy on tick? By so doing we might
convert tie credit habit to a cash
habit. If stores could all be run
on a cash basis prices could be ma.
terially lowered. But when store
keeper has to wait, sometimes as
long as year for his pay, he has
to distribute the interest on this
