USE OF FRESH PRODUCTS
 IS RECOMMENDED NOW

The use of all fresh perishable food products at this time of year is rec commended by the Alaska Food Ad- ministration. Consumption of these shortlived foods liberates the more concentrated staple ones for people in the remote sections and for the allies and the soldiers on the front.
 Tt is not patriotic at this partic- ular time to use canned goods when fresh products are available" a state ment from the Food Administration says. Immense stocks of canned goods must be reserved for the Amer ican soldiers and those of the allies. Every home may have an opportunity to create this reserve stock if they will use the fresh products instead of the canned even if little more work in their preparation is required and by putting up all canned goods they need"
 Food saving means cutting off all unnecessary consumption.

marmites In the front of the car riage are four vessels of the same size which are cork jacketed, and serve as fireless cookers. Between the rear, or range half, and the freless cooker front section, are chests and boxes for storing food utensils, and tools.
 Dustproof and Waterproof.
 The covers of all containers clamp tight, making the kitchen dustproof and waterproof. No cover is provid- ed for the entire kitchen.
 The Trailmotor is stocked with uten- sils and accessories, all planned and purchased by experts. At the War Department the Hardware and Metals Division turns over control of cutlery and tools to one division, kitchen equipment and marmites to another, and so on, while the chassis is pur- chased by the Motor and Transport Division. In this way. each detail re- ceives careful and trained attention
 Moreover, these men in charge of supplying the Army have now author ity to purchase the material best suit ed to their purpose. They can disre- gard the old rule of the lowest bidder and obtain the best, not the cheapest. Our boys deserve it. they say.
 Manufacturers of the rolling kitchen say that the United States has the best models We already have sev- eral kinds of them. The Liberty kit chen, like all uniform equipment, has advantages which have already been cited for Standardized motors, trucks, etc. Manufacturers predict that roll ing kitchen will eventually replace the field kitchens and bake ovens. But the first order for 15,000 is only for the aero service. There are vague rumors of horse-drawn kitchens for other troops, similar to the Trail motors, which are as yet undeveloped.
 But whatever the type of range, we know that the fireless cooker plays it's part. Like the old negro who used to peddle ''hot dogs" to the inaugura- tion crowds our Army cooks can say Get 'em while they're hot, boys, get em while they're hot!"

YANKEE FIRELESS COOKER THE
 BATTLE FRONT

l The fireless cooker is in the first ! line trench. No longer is it first aid only to the dainty bride and the
 moving picture devotee. It supplies steaming hash and hot soup to the l boys in khaki.
 To-day, miniature fireless cookers are at the front in quantity. They are 5-gallon pails, cork-jacketad, or with some other nonconductor between the walls. Swung on poles, they are borne by soldiers through the communication trenches. The passageways are so narrow that only small containers can pass between the comed when they reach the boys!
 Behind the lines, the kitchens are of different types. Huge steam kitchens cater to the men in the big training camps, and in the French and British prison camps. But men prefer their i company kitchens, run by their own
 mess sergeants. So there are the : old field stoves, and ovens, which fold up and load on trucks. Where troops are in permanent quarters, stationary ranges are used
 ! This war has developed the rolling kitchen. The first was an improvised affair used by a French company. It was a pail in a wagon, under which a : fire was built. The French and British improved this idea, until they achieved results which rival the most widely advertised kitchen cabinets for convenience. American manufactur-

 The War Department has standard ized rolling kitchen, for use in the aero service. This is the Liberty ! Trailmobile. It is kitchen on wheels drawn by a motor truck. The equip ment of this trailmobile has been standardized after careful study. ] On June 2 some 40 manufacturers ! were in Washington to pass final judg-

Salaries and other expenses OF the

 All wise men make mistakes. But only fools make the same mistake the second time.
 You cant blame proud grand father for believing that his grand child is a great grandchild.
 There are lot of men who would rather break their fool necks than bow their proud heads.
 A woman doesn't think that she keeps her age well unless she looks younger than she did five years ago
 One think we like about photo grapher is that he likes to see every body in the best possible light.
 A fool likes to hide his present shortcomings by blabbing about what a fool he USED to be.
 A married man has no business ad- miring the dress some other mans wife is wearing. If he does, he is certain to have his wife tell him that she could dress well, too, if her husband gave her as much mon ey as the other woman's husband gives his wife.
 Some men take a delight in exag- gerating their ages. But you never saw woman who was that way.
