The sFourth Meal.'

] The latest Food Administration
bulletin says Patriots are not having
Ifourth meals. Three meals a day are
enough. A fourth meal uses some Of
the food that should be on it's way
across the Atlantic in cargo ships
food that this country has pledged it
self to send.
'The church supper or box social
should never be made a Fourth
meal" 1t should take the place of the
third regular daily meal. Whatever
we do should be done with the thought
in mind that we are pledged to send
so per cent more food to the Allies
this year than last. This means that
among other ways Of saving, we must
not indulge in 'socials' where fourth
meal is served"
This statement by the Food Admin
istration will clear up any questions
about the serving of refreshments.
With three square meals day we will
not begrudge that extra food to the
$50, 100000 people and that are not
Germans or Austrians either, who are
now facing starvation in Europe. And
there are 100000 in the heart of
Russia who will have to die Of hunger
because food cannot be sent to them
in time.
Balanced Meals and Conservation.
The body can be better nourished
by small amount of well balanced
food than by large amount OF food
not wisely chosen. In fact, such dis
eases as chronic Indigestion, diabetes,
ricketts,, scurvy, are caused by an un-
balanced diet.
The following simple menus will
furnish heat and strength and tissue
building material to the body and will
keep the blood in good condition. They
are meatless, too, or else a small
amount of meat is made to 60 long
way:
Stuffed beef roll, baked potatoes,
|stewed tomatoes, Jam jumbles. To
make jam jumbles cut half of any plain
rocky dough in small rounds, spread
with jam, cover with rest of dough
cut in rings and bake.
Dreamed chicken, potato croquettes,
macaroni and beef salad. Let two
cups of cooked macaroni and one cup
coarsely cut beef stand in beet vine
gar for an hour. Drain. Add French
dressing, tbsp. vegetable oil, vine
ger. salt, paprika. Apple pot pie.
Baked beans, Boston brown bread,
cabbage slaw, rhubarb sauce, oatmeal
cookies.
Pork shoulder, dressing, Drowned

PORTLAND

Portland, Or, Jan. 30-The ninth
annual Portland Automobile Show
will be held in the new city auditor
ium here from February to 13, in
elusive.
Reduced rates to the show have
been granted by the railroads from
points in Oregon and the Northwest.
In connection with the automobile
show this year there will be held also
a. big truck and tractor show to EN-
phasize the forward strides made by
the motor truck and tractor during
the past year.
Great stress will be laid upon the
practical side Of the automobile at
the coming show. The keynote will be
utility and practicability. The auto
mobile has long ceased to be a luxury
to be enjoyed by the very rich, and
has become a business and CONNER
cial necessity.
The passenger automobile has
freed the farmer from isolation, has
brought him miles nearer his buying
and selling market, and has saved
him many working hours through the
ground covering ability Of his car.
Similarly, the motor truck and the
farm tractor are increasing the
amount of work he can accomplish at
actually decreased expense, and are
adding vastly to farming efficiency.
The Government is encouraging
the use Of farm tractors to speed up
production OF food stuffs.
All the latest motor car, truck and
tractor models will be seen at the
show. The committee in charge has
issued a special invitation to dealers
and all persoss interested to take ad-
vantage Of the special reduced rail-
road rates during the show to visit
the show.
