What Tie 1918 Food
Card For Home Suggests
BY Virginia p. Moore.)

are healthful and plentiful, and, at
the same time, partly take the place
OF other foods which we must save.
Raise all you can for home use.
Use MILK wisely. Use all of the
milk; waste no part of it. The child
rem must have whole milk. Use sour
and skim milk in cooking and in cot,
tage cheese.
Anyone buying and holding larger
supply of food now than in peace time,
except foods canned, dried or preserv-
ed in the home, is helping to defeat
the Food Administration in it's at
tempt to secure just distribution Of
food and the establishment of fair
prices. The food hoarder is working
against the common good and even
against the very safety of the country.
boarding food in households is both
selfish and unnecessary; the Govern
ment is protecting the food supply of
it's people.
Remember the more you can talk
this, the more examples you set in
carrying out strictly the program Of
the Food Administration, the stronger
you will reinforce the fighting lines in
the background; hold up your part Of
this fighting line, if our soldiers have
a square chance on the front. Make
it point to convert some one to this
each day.
If you haven't learned to be loyal
and if you haven't learn to sacrifice
now is your opportunity. Do not wait
for the Government to enforce you to
do your duty, but as an individual, feel
fully your responsibility.

ciples which are TO be the foundation
for the peace negotiations need elaborate
ing and the visit Of the president i for
that purpose.
How long the president will remain at

Ing Paris. where the peace conference
probably will be held. that he will 90 to
London and probably 10 Brussels and

will receive abroad reception such as
has been accorded but few men in public

the president of the United States and
the=eommander and chief of its army and
navy, but also as a champion of a world

president to leave North America dur
ing term Of office.
In deciding 10 attend the conference
President Wilson is understood to have

State Robert Lansing will retire from his
present post To head the American dele
cation. Colonel House. Of course. il as
sured Supreme Court Justice Louis u.

Elihu Root is the only republican gener-

mer President William Howard Taft are

In addition TO the regular peace commits
sioners there will be 4 small army Of A.
taches and aides as we'll as high ranking

CAMOUFLAGE IS DEVELOPED FOR
 BOCHE DEFENSE

With the Americans in France Deceive the enemy by false tracks in woods"
 This sentence is from the latest German document on camouflage to reach American intelligence officers, having been found on captured lieutenant. More than thousand words are devoted to the science of camouflage, the article being dated at army headquarters and signed by Lieutenant Colonel Faupel "by order of the general command ing the army"
 Every form of camouflage has been worked out in minute detail by the Germans, one part of the article says: "Do not make heap of earth removed at any time but scat. ter it immediately There must be no fresh cuts visible, as marked contrasts result from it between the light and dark surfaces, the lattei appearing as deep shadows on the ground. Do not change natural shapes. Positions in fills and em- bankments must not change the form of fill or embankment. Use the roads, fills, entertainments, slopes, sunken roads, edges of woods, to greater extent"
 Regarding resting columns of troops, location and nature of halt ing places for troops on march the document sets forth:
 "It is bestto distribute the columns irregularly under trees. In villages keep close to the houses, walls, en. closures of gardens and hedges, but if possible, with irregular distribu tion. The best side is always the north side of houses and walls or account of the shadows. In small courtyards, the wagons are lined uI one beside the other and tarpaulins joined in order to make a roof. This appears as smooth and very natural surface on the photograph which does not attract the enemy: attention. ..
 In broken country seek the pro tection of the ground; the nortl side of entertainments, hollow roads hedges, etc. When there is no cover irregular distribution is required
 Even at night make more use of tracks which are generally dark the columns can then with difficulty be observed by airplanes. On the other hand columns on roads whicf appear light can be seen even al night. Infantry columns will be divided into small groups distributed in depth and advance along the shady side of roads. When air. planes use light projectors at night keep in the shade of trees or build ings."
 The article ends with this gen eral rule: "When surprised by air planes either by day or by night use all natural shade provided bS trees, entertainments, houses, etc and remain motionless." :~: .~-
