Along the Shore.

Noah Bowling, of Lawrence, Kansas,
soldier on the invalid list at Base
Hospital No. 8, at Lakewood, was
drowned in the lake there on Tuesday
evening. There is conflicting rumor
as to facts, but it is stated that Dow
ling, with soldier companion, Grim
by name, were out in a canoe, about
half way between the boat house and
Kissing Bridge and about so yards
from shore, when in exchanging seats
the canoe capsized. Apparently
neither could swim, and another SOL
der jumped in from the shore, but
before he could reach them Bowling
had gone down for the third time and
was beyond hope. Grim was saved.
A local option election is being held

Economic on Sugar

Conservation of the supply of sugar
in this country between the present
time and the preserving season, SO that
sugar will be abundant at the time it
will be needed most, will be necessary
if the country is to be carried over the
peak of the usual sugar demand In
formation to this effect has been re-
ceived by William S. Tyler, federal
food administrator for New Jersey at
the state headquarters. Warning that
sugar should be saved now was issued
from Washington after considering the
inventory of sugar in this country to-
gether with the amount expected to
arrive from Cuba.
Directions have been given to the
New Jersey Administration that it is
of 1.-THE utmost Importance that conser-
walton be enforced in all states in order

Use of Milk Recommended

The United States Food Commission
for New Jersey joins with the State
Department of Agriculture in urging
greater consumption of milk In the
state. Milk is plentiful now, it is
nutritious, it is easily combinable with
substitutes for wheat, and for meat;
use of 1t will thereby help in the con-
servation of those edibIes; and it will
encourage the dairymen to mainta in
their herds for the future.
One and one half cubic inch of pale
American cheese or cubic inches of
cottage cheese is equal in food value to
"a large serving of boiled lean beef, a
small serving of rib roast of beef, a
small lamb chop, an ordinary serving
of leg of lamb, or large serving of
mutton.
Milk is much cheaper fuel than
meat, the United States Department
Of Agriculture points out. A quart
gives the same amount of fuel as q
whole pound of lean meat or as eight
eggs. Isn't milk far the cheapest {
Still less expensive fuel is a bowl OF
corn meal mush and milk.
Skim milk is good food. 1t has the
lime and protein and sugar of the
whole milk but it lacks fat and has
not so much of the growth substance
as has whole milk. Whole milk should
be used with it.
Milk should not be the only food
for children. They need vegetables,
| fruits, and cereals. But even the
bigger boys and girls should have milk
and grown people, too. They still
need the lime and protein and it's Other
substances Don't think it only as Q
refreshing drink, but as a good nourish
ing food.
Milk gives your children lime, anc
tother salts which they need. There
must be plenty of lime in their food
for great deal of it is needed for theil
bones and teeth and a little for theil
blood and all other parts of thei
bodies. Right food, not drugs. is wha
children need. Big boys and girls ant
grown people, as well as children neeC
lime, because the bones are constantly
wearing away little by little and mus
be replaced. Milk is the chief food fo
lime. 1t is much richer in it thar
other common foods.

The senior local Y. M. c.. A. Associa-
ton group which has been meeting on

ing on next Friday evening, May oath.
Mr.. Grant Wright, of the Wright &
Wilkinson Company, Philadelphia,

for the farmers to receive their ma
chinery much quicker than would
have been otherwise possible.
Friends of the boys, members of the
