Shoe Dealers Find Goods Marked

Most Patronage.

American shoe manufacturers have
II In their power to increase their
sales in New Zealand in spite of the
preferential tariff that operates
against them, says a report issued by
Uncle Sans bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce. American shoes
are as well thought of there as In
other parts of the world and the
strongest bid for patronage that a re-
taller can make Is to show In his win
dows shoes marked --latest American
Style"
The business Obtainable in the New
Zealand market is well worth cult
waiting. 1t is declared, for the mer-
chants are a most dependable class
Of careful, conservative shoe dealers,
and the people can afford to buy the
highest-prlced footwear. OF the ST.
100000 worth of footwear imported
In 1915, only about $4,000 worth
came from the United States. There
is little question that American shoes
could hold more important place In
the market, says the government re-
port, If more sales energy were back
Of them. Other shoes are being sold
for fully as high prices as would
have to be charged for American
shoes, grade for grade.

BAD FOR THE wAsHgRwoMAN.

So acute has become the local short
age In washerwomen that II amounts
TO famine" says Robert Patton In
the American Issue. II was not always
so. In the halcyon days when Denver
had saloons and the pay envelopes
were being cashed In the thirst par
lors. thousands Of the wives OF drink
ing men were compelled TO take In
washing TO exc out n slender living for
the little family. This condition suited
the booze interests to Il. One of
the wet newspapers in an exuberant
outburst OF philanthropy urged the sa-
loonkeepers TO send their family
wash TO the wives Of their patrons"
and let the saloonists rake In the pay
checks.
But all this Is but a dream since
this city went dry. Daddy Is now
spending his money for household sup
plies and wife has ceased to take In
washlng-hence the famine" Verify
prohibition has hurt" the washerwom-
an business as well as that Of the un-
dertaker and grave digger.
The citizen., 1918-03-14
LumseRJAcKs OPPOSE SALOONS.

A good argument for prohibition is
furnished by the action of Washing
ton lumberJacks. About fifty of these
men had been fighting fires in Idaho
and Washington (both dry states) and
refused to go into Montana TO perform
the same service because they feared
that II they exposed themselves TO the
temptations of wet state, they would
lose all their earnings In the saloons.
So they turned down an appeal for
help at good wages and remained In
dry territory.
Montana's statutory prohibition law,
enacted November, 1916, goes into af-
feet December 81. 1918. After that
date the state won't be Stunned by
lumberjacks or by anybody except
boozers.

Americas great corn crop. exceed

United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn Is the nations best food cereal.
housewives are beginning to realize.
IL contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In a state of health and
when used according TO the scores Of
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In.
dian warriors In colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at u
time. and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration Of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however. the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent TO Europe.
Today there are approximately 80
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than In former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonlsts from famine on
many occasions, just as II served as a
staplefood during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use In the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire

Sausage From Cottonseed.

The United States is certainly the
'land of cotton" declares an exchange.
Nowhere else In the world is cotton
grown In such abundance. and put to
such variety of uses. The fiber, of
course, is made into cloth the oil from
the seeds Is used as a cheap substitute
for olive oil and as basis for lard,
and now the seeds themselves are be-
ing ground into flour and used for food
purposes, says Popular Science Month
ly. Gingersnaps and jumbles are
made from 1t. and It is mixed with
finely chopped meat and tied in sausage
links. To make the cottonseed sau-
sage, three pounds Of sausage meat is
mixed with one pound of cottonsced

much nutrition as the meat which II
takes the place of. and to effect "a saw

GERMANY UNDER PROHIBITION.

The German army was practically
mobilized under prohibition, Miss Mar
garet Wintringer tells in the Union
Signal. Germany actually clambered
over the wheels Of the water wagon,
she says, by revlving the law of the
state OF selge enacted in 1851. 'For
an unheard OF six weeks even beer was
under taboo in all German villages.
And To these six weeks Germany owes
her initial success in the war. But
ere firmly seated she fell of the wa
ter wagon. In October the law of the
State of Siege was lifted and there fol

coming to realize that every pound Of
wheat saved in America means a pound

that today possess unusual importance

MADE .IN.GERMANY LIES
Circulated IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced In this euun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
in a battalion Of soldiers.
"StOries without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
"It lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"
