The business Of the American Red
Cross is "To aid In the prevention and
alienation Of human suffering In
times Of peace and war" 1t was origl-
nally organized TO supplement the med
lcal services of armies In times Of war
When the American National Red
Cross, by act Of the United States con-
gress, approved January 3, 1908, was
Incorporated and placed under govern
ment supervision, its purposes-in ad-
dltion to its duties in times of war
were declared to be: "To continue and
carry on a system Of national and
international relief In time Of peace
and apply the, same in mitigating the
sufferings caused by pestilence, fam
ine, fire, floods\and other national ca
lamitles." This organization has there
fore a great work to do at all times (;
for there is always human suffering to
be allevlated, but now that the world
is racked with war, its work is tre-
mendous, and 1t Is doing 1t In way
that should make every man, woman
or child who belongs to the Red Cross
proud to be a member. It Is the only
hope of thousands of suffering human
beings and stands between them and
cold, hunger, sickness and despair. 1t
is the instrument by which each one Of
us may make himself useful; our only
means Of extending helping hands to
the innocent victims of the war.
No one can start the new year In a
better way than by joining the Red
Cross and by aiding in the campaign
for new members. In time of war the

They looked at each other, still un.

Sam Clouts, who had preceded
them, fell back with an exclamation
of horror.
"Yes, Clouts?" said Donald.

humanness % II.
1t was upon larger scale, precisely
such n figure as a child or n savage
might have made in its first efforts to
reproduce the human figure. There
were even the dawnlngs Of art in the
shape Of whales ear-bones, strung,

The mound beneath the figure con.

and looked at II intently.

on the floor against the mound, seemed
on the point of falling asleep from

Both looked at 1t. 1t was the bone
Of flipper heel. The monsters were
cannibal, beyond any doubt.
"Davies" cried Donald, a moment
later. 'Don't you see what that figure
is? It's an idol. And the bones are
those Of creatures Of their own spe-

monsters In their abomlnable feasts.

So these half-blind and voiceless
devils of the sea were cropping slowly
upward, as our ancestors had done
many hundred thousand years ago,
toward hope and endeavor. The Spirit
of God stirred in the dull souls Of
these cannibal monsters, as every

Donald felt somehow immensely
elated at the thought. Even here they
were not cut off from the sheltering
hand of Providence.

War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
This war Is one of nnti.ns-not OF
armies" said the president, "and all
of our lOO,O00,O00 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions If this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
"The problem hefore us Is not pri-
marily financial problem. but rather
a problem Of increased production of
war essentials and the saving of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
ture of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men, the products Of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation. all of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
"The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
tom of young and old in national
thrift movement. therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, to the practice of
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
In all fields necessary to the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More v. S. Securities"
''The securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many Of them,
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of us.
II appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
Of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov.
eminent.
II earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save constant
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government.

ereadIess Meals Save Wheat.

How are you saving wheat? One
way is to serve breadless meals now
and then. Have you ever tried them7
Breadless meals need planning
ahead. You can't take just any menu
and take the bread out and expect the
family to like 1t. Bread has several
functions in the meal, and fully de-
serves the high opinion which we have
Of 1t. 1t is one of our best foods for
fuel, furnishing carbohydrate in the
form of starch and also bodybuilding
protein and mineral substances. But
If the meal contains enough other food
to furnish the starch and the protein
needed why not save the bread?
Try planning your meals so that
these wheat-saving dishes take the
place of the bread. Potatoes, sweet
potatoes or dasheens-mashed, baked,
boiled or riced-rice, oven-fried corn
meal mush, hominy grits, large hon.
my, baked beans, lima beans, split
peas-all are good served as vege-
tables, with meat and gravy. 1t is not
necessary to serve more than one Of
f., these starchy foods at meal, but
serving two Of them, for instance,
well-browned, crusty croQuettes or
fried mush (and these can be cooked
in the oven instead Of in the fat ket-
tle) In addition to potatoes or sweet
potatoes, makes the meal more tasty
for many of us and is an easy way Of
securing variety. Aside from the
question Of economy and convenience
the important thing in such case Is
not the number of cereal foods served,
but the character Of the meal as
whole, which must be truly varied and
not made up almost entirely of any
single type Of food. We must have
other kinds of food in our diet in
abundance as well as starchy foods.
Therefore. in planning your bread
less meals make sure that you serve
an abundance of fresh vegetables,
such as green cabbage, kale, turnip
tops, onions, onion tops. dandelions
and other green's, asparagus, green
peas, tomatoes, spinach, carrots and
SO on, choosing those which are In sen
son and abundant In your garden or
your market. With varied meal
planned in the usual way, except that
the servings Of the starchy foods and
the vegetables are larger than usual
to make up for the bread, you can
have a breakfast, dinner or supper
which may be pleasing to the taste and
which will meet the body needs.
There ARE other food combinations
and dishes which you can take advan-
tage of in planning the meals with
bread. For instance, you may prefer
to replace part Of your usual allow
ance Of bread with wheat-saving
dessert. These desserts furnish much
the same food materials rs bread, but
In different form: Rice pudding,
hominy pudding, Indian pudding, tapi-
oca cream or fruit tapioca, cornstarch
pudding, baked bananas (use bananas
which are upderripe. because they nre
richer In starch than the ripe ones),
or gingerbread made from the wheat
substitutes.
