LEARN TO
SAVE FOOD

n1CH man, poor man, beggar man,
thief-what do they eat for their
dinner? One may eat terrapin,
while the other eats onion, yet each one
of these men might quite readily cut a
slice of bread from exactly the same
loaf.
Let the rich man continue to eat his
terrapin and the poor man continue to
eat his onion a. he can afford it, but
let the rich man, poor man, beggar man
and thief all know that there is one
thing which none of them can afford
that is, to waste ever so much as a
crumb of bread. We all must respect
this loaf of bread. Not a bit of it must
be wasted.
Here in America, where for years
there has been plenty and to spare in
foodstuffs, a single slice of bread SEEM
ed an unimportant thing.
But now America is united with Eng
land, France, Italy, Serbia and the other
allies in a great moral war, and what is
a sin for them is a sin for us. In Serbia
not so very long ago a string Of pearls
would not buy a loaf of bread.
A Serbian lady of rank and great
wealth was among the men, women and
children fleeing before the Germans.
Her money and jewek had been stolen,
all except a pearl necklace worth. hun
dreds of dollars; this she had hidden be-
meath her dress. She tried in vain to
exchange this necklace for even a loaf
of bread But bread could not be had
at any price.

DURING THE
HOT

N ERHAPS the first and most impor-
tant thisg to- remember abou,
keeping cool is the undeniable
power of mind over matter. And then
there is the power Of suggestion. One
must thinks"cool" and act cool" before
one can reasonably hope to feel that
way. One way to succeed in thinking
cool" is by way of suggestion. And
that is the clothes way. There are really
cool colors you know. Perhaps the very
coolest of colors is gray, and especially
that gray with a greenish tinge; then
come white, pale green, lavender and
blue. Yet n sees yellows. browns and
rose galore during the dog days; Incl
dentally, a very great deal Of complain
ing about the weather. So the first
practicable admonition is to select cool
colors. Light footwear is a further sug
g%estion. Then there is the wide-brimmed
hat and the sunshade to at least keen
ones head cool.
But can too much stress be laid on the
necessity of absolute cleanliness at all
times, particularly in hot weather? Ger
tainly, there is nothing refreshing about
soiled and rumpled neckwear, blouses or
skirts, yet the crisp, smooth skirt and
blouse is eve the exception on hot city
streets. So much for the outergarments.
And now a word about those worn 9TH
erwise; meshed underwear, and espe-
cially cotton, must head the list where
the absence of heat is the aim. The
idea is, of course. to induce perspiring.
There is a further means of inducing
perspiration, and that is by judicious ex-
>ercise.
All the summer sports, tennis and
rowing in particular, are the most
healthful and efficient means of keep
ing'cool; provided, of course, that they
are not overdone. A wide brimned hat
is imperative here. and so is a shower
bath and complete rest after indulging
in the sport. 4
Perhaps the very first thing to dosto
ward off summer insomnia is to get
dog tired before taking to the cover
lets. The next thing is provision against
the mosquito. That little pest may be
successfully exterrninated BY burning in
cense the odor of which causes a graft

WE are becoming accustomed to
w seeing flags waving and hunting
swelling the breeze. No longer
does q glance down a city thoroughfare,
with its hundreds of gay standards,
thrill US with patriotic pride unless, Of
course, we dwell on the thought. This
Fourth of July will have to be a most
unusual day to make it seem like a gala
occasion in these patriotic times. Thus,
the decorations which every good Amer
lean hangs forth on the birthday Of in
dependence must perforce be unusual. If
you are planning q party, an open house,
a weekend or just a nice family
ion, decorations on the house and table
will be of paramount importance
Of course, the Stars and Stripes will
play a big part in the decorative scheme.
Remember the regulations about hang
ing the flag which the government sug-
gest4 to civilians. Never let the flag
touch the ground; let it fly in the breeze
if possible, preferring bunting for drap-
ing; do not fasten the flag to the side
of a building, sca1olding or window or
any place where one would be apt to
stand or sit on it; the flag should hang
high above the heads Of the people and
should always be given a position of
prominence; when used as a banner the
flag should be hung with the stars flying
to the east on streets running north and
south and to the north on streets run
ming east and west; the flag should new
er be left out after shutdown.
With these courtesies kept in mind, it
is an easy thing to use Old Glory in the
patriotic decorative scheme. Groups of
little flags placed in windows, over door
ways, around plant boxes, lawns, etc,
are a pleasing decoration. Perhaps one
Of the most digni6ed ways to decorate
the porch, especially one that shows CO.
lonial pillars. is shown in the accom-
panying sketch. Red and white striped
shields made from crepe paper and card
board and topped with the gilded eagles
are tied to the top of each pillar. Be-
tween. a strip Of bunting showing blue
stars on a white ground is simply drap-
ed.
Lanterns always make a pleasing dis
play for the Fourth. Strung in rows
along the porch, between trees, along
the fence, in the backyard or any other
place available, they add to the gayety
of the scene. 1t is well always to partly
fill hanging lanterns with sand so that
they will not swing in the breeze and
catch fire. A new way to arrange lantl

MANY USEFUL
WILD FRUITS

0NE of the best-known fruits the
foresters say, is the persimmon,
which is edible only after it is
thoroughly ripe. As this is usually not
until late in the fall, it is commonly
thought that the fruit must be frost-bit-
en-. If the persimmon is eaten before
it is we'll ripened, the fannie acid which
the fruit contains has a strongly astring-
ent effect which justiies the story Of
the soldier in the Civil wal who said
he had eaten green persimmons so as
to shrink his stomach up to fit his ra-
tons. The pawpaw, a fruit akin to the
custard apple, is also best when thor
oughly ripe. Studies of this fruit and
its uses have been made by food ex-
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture. The fruit of some spe-
cies of haws is eaten or preserved in diff
ferent parts of the country, while those
of several different kinds Of wild cher
ries and wild currants have a food value
and are used for various purposes. Wild
plums are abundant in certain sections
and occur in particularly plentiful guam
titles along the streams in the Eastern
and Middle Western states. Beach
plums are also used for food purposes.
Several varieties Of wild crab apples
make delicious jellies. Some of the
largest, which attain the size of small
apples, are more or less abundant
throughout eastern North Carolina. FL
derberries are frequently used for pies
and for sauce. Those found in the West
are sweeter and have a better favor than
the Eastern varieties.
The berries, of the blackberry, or
sugar berry, IS il is called in the South,
are dry but have an agreeable taste.
Those of the mulberry are sweet and
juicy when ripe. The mulberry is val
ued in some sections for feeding hogs
and poultry and some species are occa-
sionaily cultivated.
The French Canadians are said to use
the acid flowers Of the redbud, or Judas
tree. in salads. while the buds and ten
der pods are picked in vinegar. Honey
locust pods often locally called 'rhopey-
shucks." contain 4 sweetish., thick,
cheese-likep pulp. which is often eaten.
