a place In American menus. Our sup
ply has been imported largely from
Germany, and with that supply cut
off the price has nearly doubled. Ex-
cept in the extreme southwestern
states no effort has been made to
grow them in this country.
Even at their present doubled cost
they are cheaper than meat and other
protein foods. They supply a great
er amount of protein and energy at
a given cost than almost any other
food. They contain about % per cent
protein. more than so per ZEN starch
and a little over 2 per cent fat. There
are nearly $500 calories in a quart Of
lentils.
Since We know them only in their
dried or canned state, the first step
in using them in any form Is to soak
them over night and then cook until
tender. The following lentil loaf Is
a good meat substitute dish: "A cup

THE GERMAN METHOD

Dallas News-The philosophy of
frightfulness is that thSkimagination
of the enemy can be excited in a way
which will betray him into exagger-
ating the German power and
~fulness, and thus be made to unnerve
him and debilitate his efforts. Ger
many is not unmindful of the fact that
most of us are more impressed by
the headlines than by the text, and IT.
always contrives, accordingly, to in
vest its performances with an ele-
ment Of spectacularity which will en-
list type in its service. By following
the clew which this characteristic Of
German methods affords, we are more
apt to come to the explanation of the
exploits of the submarine off our
coasts than we are by reasoning from
the few and meager facts that have
SO far been established. And the ex-
PLANTATION which this clew brings Us
to is that the Germans have sent over
one. and possibly two, submarines of
great operating radius in the expec-
tatiOn of being able to sink one or
more transports off our coast. Such
a feat would have sent a SILVER Of
fear over the country and have pro-
vided the German censor with raw
material out of which he might have
been depended on to fabricate tales
which would serve more or less effec.
tually to revive faith in the potence
of the submarine. The submarine has
lain in wait apparently ten days at
least without having been able to ac-
complish the purpose of it's coming,
and has vented it's disappointment in
the destruction of ten or twelve coast
wise vessels whose aggregate ton.
is only a little more than $4,000.
Thus an achievement which looms
large to the imagination shrinks to
rather negligible proportions under

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE
LENTtL

The American housewife knows too
little about lentils. They will well
bear a closer acquaintance. Anyone
who has ever lived in Germany has
already been introduced to them for
the German Hausfrau appreciates the
value Of lentils as a simple. cheap and
no%urishing vegetable.
They are In fact one of the oldest
of food plans. Asia and the Mediter-
ranean countries have grown them
from the earliest times. But because
they furnish less brush than other
legumes, as beans and peas. Europe
has never cultivated enough for her
entire supply. Instead, the European
market has been partially supplied
from Egyyt.
With the growth of our foreign
population lentils have begun to find

What is England doing to provide

The answer is, England is provid.

her moors and parks into vegetable
gardens and fields Of grain.
All England thinks now that it is
better for the country IL her famous

AMERICAN PRINCIPLES ACCEPT.
ED BY THE ALLIES

Review of Reviews-The appeal to
America to go over and fight in a
large way on European soil involved
two great victories, one immediate
and the other prospective. The i'm.
mediate victory was that of the dem
ocratic cause among the Allies. With
out selishness and at profound sacri-
fee, America accepted the call to send
her sons to fight in Europe. In a sep
arate quarrel of our own, we should
have had no more fear of Germany
than Of Turkey. For a number Of dc.
cades We have looked on at the dang.
erous rivalry of the empire-builders of
Europe, meddling everywhere and e11-
broiling all peoples. Our principles
are definitely understood by the Al
lies. And they know that America
goes to Europe solely on the under
taking that we are to have henceforth
a world safe for small peoples; a
league of democratic s~elf-governing
nations; the principle of trusteeship
over backward regions, rather than
that Of possession and exploitation.
This is the first great victory. and it
was won when America changed her
program at the appeal of the Allies
and began to ship troops so fast as to
justify the statement that we were
sending IAN army each month" For
a long time the Allies had not cooper
ated, because they were fighting what
should have been a good CONNER
cause, with an admixture of separate
aims and a lack of full trust in one
another. They are rising above
those selfish aims, are casting aside
distrust, and are accepting American
principles-which are not those of sep.
arate advantage but those of common
welfare of future union and harmony.

CABBAGE AND PATRIOTISM

To eat cabbage is not plebeian. il
is patriotic. Cabbage is grown in
back yards in all parts OF the United
States, and if it is made an import.
ant part OF the vegetable diet il re.
places shipped-in foods which require
transportation space. The United
States Food Administration advises
the use Of homegrown vegetables not
only as a matter OF saving shipping
space but as a saving of food which
cannog De sent abroad. The following
recipes may add TO the list OF usual
ways Of preparing cabbage:
victory Cahbag-Slice cabbage
and soak in cold water. Put one quart
Of cabbage in a stewpan with two
tzblespoonsful of butter or butter SUBJ
stiture, onehalf t~easpoonful of salt,
Z tablespoonful of finely chopped
onion. few gratings of nutmeg. and a
few grains of cayenne. Cover and
cook until cabbage is tender. Add
two tablespoonsful OF vinegar and
cook until cabbage is tender. Add
two tsblespoonsful of vinegar and
cook five minutes.
Cold Slaw-Select a small, heavy
cabbage, take of outside leaves, and
cut in quarters. Slice very thinly
with a sharp knife. Soak in cold wa
ter until crisp, drain, dry between
and mix with cream salad
dressing.
