Plant Specialists Help Save Food.

War Emergency Board of special
lists in plant diseases has lately been
organized to combat food waste. The
purpose of the board is to acQuaint the
public with useful facts about molds,
blights, and the various agencies of
microscopic size which cause foods to
decay. 1t is believed that better un-
derstanding by the public of all such
forms of food waste may become an
important part in food conservation.

More Rice. Less Wheat.

Rice came into new favor when pota-
toes were scarce. It's value as a staple
diet was re-established with the Amer
lean people. Since some 5000 orientals
use rice as practically their only
cereal, its nutritional value cannot be
doubted. 1t is low in protein and fats
and is used as a cereal or desert, or
vegetable. Rice is now coming into
market as flour. For those patriotic
enough to wish to give up wheat en-
tirely, fine bread can be made with the
rice flour.

Care of Eggs.

The U. S. Food Administration has
ruled that on and after June 1, 1918,
all eggs must be candled by the buyer
Or seller, whether he be general mer-
chant, egg dealer or huckster.
The purpose of this ruling is to stop
traffic in eggs which are unfit for hui
man food, to prevent them entering
the channels of trade, and thereby pre-
venting an enormous wastage.

TO Be Remembered.

Frugality is good, if liberality be
joined with it. The first is leaving off
superfuous expenses; the last bestow-
ing them to the benefit of others that
need. The first without the last begins
covetousness; the last without the first
begins prodigality; both together make
IN excellent William Penn.

Eat Peanuts.

Peanut butter is good for the chill
dren; peanut oil rivals olive oil for the
place of honor in the salad Make your
breads with peanut flour as a substi-
tute for wheat, and use peanuts as
a substitute also cor meat in peanut
lQaves or peanut buildings which, if
properly concocted are delicious as
well as nutritious.

CHAS. N. SCHWAB TO
BOSS SH|PBU|LD|NG
Given Unlimited Powers to Put
Through Vast Pragram.
PIEZ WILLINGLY STEPS ASIDE
Generally Believed That The Great
Steel Magnate Will Solve Problems
That Have Proved Too Diff
cult For His Predecessors.

Washington.-The building of the
great merchant marine which will
transport Americas men and re-
sources to the battlefront has been
entrusted by the Shipping Board to
Charles M. Schwab, steelmaker and
shipbuilder, who became director gen.
eral of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton, with unlimited powers to put
through the vast building program
already under way.
"Mr. Schwab will have complete SUI
pervision and direction of the work of
shipbuilding," said an official an
nouncement issued from the White
House after Mr.. Schwab had been
there to confer with President Wilson
in company with Chairman Hurley,
of the Shipping Board; Charles Piez,
vice-president and general manager
Of the Fleet Corporation, and Balm
bridge Colby, member of the board
Control of policies, which includes
decisions as to the number, size and
character of ships to be built with
the millions appropriated by Con-
gress still will rest with the Ship
ping Board, Mr.. Piez, at his own sug-
gestion, relinquishes the position of
general manager of the Fleet Cor
poration, which is abolished, to give
Mr. Schwab-a free hand Mr.. Hurley
remains chairman of the board and
president of the Fleet Corporation in
charge of policies. Mr.. Piez continues
as vice-president of the board, at
tending to administrative details OF
construction, including the placing of
contracts, and Mr.. Schwab will Or
ganize and carry forward the work of
putting the ships into the water
Mr.. Schwab is the fifth man to be
put in charge of the Shipping Boards
building program, but his appoint
ment was attended by none of the
friction which marked some of the
previous changes in management The
suggestion for the appointment of
practical builder of national prom
inence came this time from the Ship
ping Board, itself, and Mr.. Hurley
chose Mr.. Schwab. First of all was
wanted man who could inspire the
yard owners and workers with the
supreme Importance of building ships
as fast as they can be turned out.
Mr.. Schwab's genius for getting the
best out of the men with whom he
is associated-and in this connection
a Fleet Corporation official recalled
the story that Schwab never employed
a man he could not praise-together
with his record of achievement in de-
veloping the Bethlehem steel property,
brought unanimous approval in the
board of his selection as the man for
the place.

BAKER REPORTS
ON TRIP ABROAD
Confers With President and
Department Chiefs.
sAMMIEs ARE DOING WELL
He Found The American Soldiers
HeaIthfuI And Happy And Eager
To Get Into The
Fighting.

Washington.-Secr Baker out
lined to President Wilson and heads
Of the governments war-making agen-
cies the war situation in Europe.
1.-THE American soldier has made
good in France"
Secretary of War Baker brought
that message back to the country in
an interview, in which he said: "The
Dig thing for America to do is to
support the war financially, in senti-
ment, in belief and in courage"
The American soldier, he declared,
is healthful and happy, eager for
light, and anxious only to stick on the
job until it is done.
While refusing to comment on the
present drive, Secretary Baker point
ed out that the three armies in France
are filled with the most tremendous
spirit" while the civil population are
quite determined and confident"
Guarded in all his comments, the
Secretary INDUCED mainly in general
tiles.
e"The impression one gets from
France" he said, "is one of tremen-
dous, earnest, confident enthusiasm.
The whole spirit is one of almost in
spire6-and certainly inspiring-de-
termination. Anyone who goes there
must have an increasing sense of ad-
miration for the magnitude and speed
with which we have gone about our
task of building communication lines
and structures of various kinds in or
ganizing the task as the whole.
France is beehive full of the
most energetic people, who know no
hours and no limitations on their Ia
bors. The condition of our soldiers
in France is thing l am glad to
tell. Our boys are well, physically
strong and robust, and well in every
other way Their behavior is good
and their relations with the British
and French cordial and sympathetic.
"They give you the sense of meet
ing buoyant, well, human beings, and
their wholesomeness is perfectly
splendid. All who have seen service
at the front want more.
"The American soldier has made
good in France. Allied critics uni
formly praise the endurance and SOL
dierly qualities of Americans.
"The only sad Americans in France
are those who fear, they may have to
come home before the job is done.
They want to come home when it is
over, but it makes them gloomy If
anyone suggests that man with spe-
cial knowledge needed here must re-
turn"
The soldiers received with very
great enthusiasm" the news that they
were going to the front.
The Secretary said he could hear
over the telephone some of this cheer
ing when the word came. He added
that his trip had shown him much as
to cooperation between the army and
the department. The nation, he con-
tinued, must support and invigorate"
the men over there, and must do ev-
erything possible to make the aid
substantial by buying Liberty Bonds
and otherwise.
