FOOD QUESTIONS
ANSWERED

Whenever you are in doubt, don't
hesitate to write to your county food
administrator or to the Wisconsin
Food Administration and ask Ques-
tions. Pamphlets from Washington
called Food Questions Answered"
have been sent to federal administra-
tors. and, Judging from the variety and
number of the items it contains, un-
doubtedly your question will be an
swered there too.
AS old Socrates said, ''he does not
gain knowledge who does not seek it,"
and if you are periodically trying to
help US out on the food saving propO-
sition but are handicapped by igno-
rance, let US know, and we will solve
the puzzles something like this:
Canning.
What is the object of canning vege-
tables?
To use more perishables in place
of staples.
Is there a sufficient supply of sugar to
allow our canning fruits freely?
Yes. twenty-five pounds of sugar
will be granted to housewives
for canning purposes only.
Is canning fruits making a wise use
of sugar?
Yes. 1t prevents waste of fruit,
furnishes a concentrated and
palataple food for the winter.
Where can Instructions on the vari-
Gus methods of canning be obtained?
From the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Candy.
Ought children to give up candy?
They may we'll do so if they gef
sugar they need gfrom other
sources.
If we eat candy, what kind ought we
to confine ourselves to?
Conservation candies, such as
chocolate covered nuts and
fruits, candies with corn syrup,
honey, maple syrup or nlOlasses.
The object is to save the cane
and beet sugar.
Is there plenty of chocolate?
Yes. 1t is plentiful and pure and
wholesome food.
Milk.
Does the Food Administration ask US
to decrease our consumption of
milk?
No; nor attempt to substitute
other foods for il. Use all the
milk. Children need plenty of
whole milk. Use sour and skim
milk in cooking and for making
cottage cheese.
If cannot afford whole milk, shall l
get skim milk?
Yes, skim milk is an excellent
food. Try to make up for the
lack of fat some other way. But
remember that children should
have whole milk

Capital of the Mail Order House
Is Furnished by Its
Customers. .iys@s
WORKS ALWAYS ON VELVET
Buyers Supply Money to Support En-
terprises Competing With Those
in Which They Are
Interested.
(Copyrlght.)

(COpyTlSnt.)
1t is a mighty nice thing to be able
to do business on the other fellows
money, but there are few people who
can do it. Probably the only bust
ness men who, as a class, are able
to do this, are the mail order men in
the big cities.
Did you ever stop to think-you,
who have ordered goods from mail
order house and there are probably
few who have not done that at some
time or Other-that you are supplying
the cash upon which the mail order
man is doing business? You are well
aware of the fact that your cash must
go with your order if you expect to re-
ceive the goods, but have you ever
stopped to think what that means? Do
you realize that you are supplying the
capital for a business which is run
ming in direct competition with your
home merchants, upon whose prosper
ity you and your fellow townsmen are
dependent for a livelihood?
The majority of mail order houses
do not carry large stocks of goods.
They do not have to. When the mail
order man gets your order, accom-
panied by the cash, of course, he can
take a part of your money and go to
the manufacturer or the wholesaler
and buy the article that is wanted. The
rest of the money he can put down in
his pocket after paying his operating
costs, which are light when compared
with those of the merchant who must
carry a large stock of goods to meet
the demands made upon him.
In Glass by Themselves.
There is absolutely no other class of
men who do business on the capital
furnished by their customers. Even
the retail store which sells for cash
only cannot do this for he must carry
a large stock and in most cases must
pay cash for 1t in order to get prices
that will enable him to make lower
prices to his customers than can be
made by the merchant who gives credit
to his customers.
The mail order man doesn't need to
have any of his ow. capital invested
in his business-Or any large amount
of 1t, at least, in proportion to the vol
ume of the business which he does. He
does not have to pay interest to the
banks on money borrowed to help him
finance his business. The mail order
man figures that about one-half of the
amount he receives on any order goes
to the wholesaler or manufacturer In
payment for the goods ordered. Of
the remainder a part goes for postage,
printing, maintenance of office and
plant, insurance, etc. What is left,
which Is by no means an insignificant
part of every dollar received, goes into
dividends to stockholders in the mail
order corporation. All this has been
done without any capital other than
that which may be required to pay of
fee expenses.
Suppose, for a minute, that you did
business with the local merchants on
the same plan. Suppose that they did
not carry any goods in stock, that
when you wanted to buy something
you should go to one of your home
merchants, look in his catalogue and
pick out an article that seemed to be

In her new starring vehicle

day, Tuesday and Wednesday, Mar
gurerite Clark celebrated as the
Sweetest Girl in Pictures" portrays
the roles of Eva and Topsy, two
widely dissimiliar characterizations,
but which she handles with the skill
of the true artist.
This is said to be a splendid pic
turization of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stoves famous novel, the publica-
ton of which did much to bring on
the Civil War and resulted in the
emancipation of the slaves in this
country. The novel was translated
in many languages and in point of
numbers the sales of the book eX-
ceeded that of any story ever pub
lished. The principal incidents of
the story are embraced in the photo
play and collectively they form one
of the finest picture productions
ever made by any motion picture
corporation.

Harrishnrgers Fight


There is intense interest through
out Harrisburg in every atom OF
news regarding soldiers from this
city on the fighting front. In this
colossal war it is difficult to follow
the various units, particularly as our
own men are scattered throughout
so many organizations in the differ
ent branches of the service. 1t seems
to be certain that at least six former
Pennsylvania National Guard Regi-
ments are fighting with the French
along the Marne at Bois de Conde
and at Chateau Thierry, the One
Hundred and Ninth, One Hundred
and Tenth and One Hundred and
Eleventh Infantry Regiments.
The first is commanded by Colonel
MilIard d. Brown, of Philadelphia
and is an amalgamation of the old
First and Thirteenth infantry. The
One Hundred and Tenth has been
under the command of Lieutena mt
Colonel Henry Coulter. of Green's
burg, and is comprised of the old
Third and Tenth infantry. Captain
E. ]. Stackpole. Jr., of Harrisburg,
is in command of Company NJ, One

ish policy of not attacking the Ger

cans are engaged in their offensive.
Allied military opinion, General
March said, is unanimous that the
German offensive movement has been
completely stopped.
Seek Railroad
General March said the objective
OF the Franco-American counterat-
tack was the Soissons- Chateau
Thierry Railroad which the allied
command has reason to believe is
the principal artery of supply for
the enemy in the Chateau Thierry
region, and also one of the principal
sources for the sector south of the
Marine. -
The French and American forces
either already are on this road or
have it we'll under direct shell fire
of their artillery.
Huns May Withdraw
The chief of staff pointed out that
with this railroad in allied control
the German withdrawal from the
sector south of he Marne would be
rendered difficult and their main
railway line to the rear would be
lost. He Indicated an attempt to
withdraw is anticipated.

1900 Known Prisoners
Official advices confirm the press
report that a French corps in which
American divisions were operating.
had captured 1900 prisoners, and
guns and material "in very helpful

MsSch said the Illinois National

in the English training sector. A
unit of this division last week CO.
operated with the Australians IN a
successful advance already reported.
The s,x American divisions operat-

velopments in the battle.
