First Call to Home Gamers.

| Can all you can, in any way You
can, at any time you can, urges the
cooking editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, who says in the May NUM-
Der:
There were unpatriotic rumors last
fall that the whole canning effort was a
failure. A woman, trained and expo
rienced IN domestic science, followed up
these reports of spoilage, travelling r n
one end of the country to the other. and
she found the enormous amount of cam
ming done by American women successful
beyond all expectation.
Last year was splendid beginning;
but we must make bigger, better rec
ord for 1918. The need for conserving
food is even greater, and there must
be an increase While the earth is warm
and gardens and fields are producing
food, we must provide for the cold and
hunger of winter.
millions of glass jars were manufac-
tured, sold, and used last season. These
Jars will now be standing, clean and
empty, in rows on closet shelves all over
the country. Every one that is filled
again will be ammunition to help win
the war. Though the war were suddenly
ended, the need for food would be just
as great.
LET no, one do less than last year.
Raise, can and dry, dry and can what
you can raise-for yourself, for your
family, and for your neighbor who Will
need help. Use all the garden produce
that is required for the daily tables, but
no more, and preserve the rest for future
use by any method that is safest and
most convenient to you"

The Man Nobody Knew.

When the, face of the hero of Hol
worthy Halls new novel, 1.-THE Man
Nobody Knew" beginning in the May
American Magazine, was shattered and
torn, the doctors wanted to patch him
up. This passage then follows:
There came day in April when a
photograph was requested of him. Surely
he knew where there was likeness of
himself, didn't he?
"The individual glanced up from his
present task, which was learning to
write with his left hand.
"sWhat forY' he muttered
why said the nurse cheerfully, for
exactly the way you did before
The individual from America sat up
straight, so that the nurse was startled
by his animation, which was without
parallel in his local history.
"'Do you mean to say they can-they
can do anything they want? They could
take picture of me and make me look
like it2'
Certainly. they can" she said, in the
tone one uses to an ailing child.
"'They can't He put his hands to his
mutilated face. They could-make me
look like it Them
"'Why, / don't understand what you
mean
"The individual gestured impatiently.
"If they can do what you say, then
they can make me look like any old
or none at all, can't they?
Then what do they need ii forY
"Why, to go by she said helplessly.
You want to look like your old self,
don't your"
But he didn't. He wanted to look
like someone else, and that is why he
was the man nobody knew.

NEARLY FOUR MILES IN AIR.
American Army Aviator Made Splendid
Record at Houston, Tex.

Dallas, Tex, May New achieve
ments in endurance and altitude tests at
the Texas aviation camps have been re-
corded frequently this spring. Some of
the latest are reported from Ellington
field at Houston. where on single day
new camp records for both height and
endurance were set. An army flyer,
whose name is withheld by order of the
executive authorities at the post, climbed
to 20,S00 feet, only little less than four
miles in the air. On the same day,
civilian demonstration for an eastern mo-
tor company remained in the air, with
passenger for nine hours an d53 minutes
and descended only when his last drop of
gasolene had been consumed.
The type of the machine used in the
test for altitude, was withheld by the
Ellington field authorities. The result,
they said, was gratifying and of great
value in demonstrating the utility of
certain innovations and improvements
that have been under consideration for
some time. The climbing quality and
power and speed developed exceeded ex
pectations.
In the endurance trial some of the
officers had been of the opinion that the
motor to be tested would stall before
the gaSoene in the tank was completely
exhausted, while the manufacturer
demonstration contended, of course, that
the motor would consume every drop of
available fuel. With passenger he
arose at 1925 a. m. and stayed aloft I'M
til he volplaned to landing at 6:ls
D. m, without hitch to interrupt his
flight. The engine continued running
without the slightest indication of stall
ing until the last drop of fuel in the tank
was drained into the cylinders.

Stimulate Rural Consumption.

In the country the work is not so spec
tacular but just as telling, for through
the county organizations and the home
demonstration agents voluntary work
ers, the potato idea is carried directly to
thousands of women in their own homes
These home demonstration workers ars
defeating their time and energy to the
work of aiding the women of the country
in their war conservation problems and
are proving more and more every day
that this is the most direct and practical
route for carrying an idea into the hearts
and homes of American women.

Over Letter Written by Cen
eral Maurice, Questioning
Premiers Veracity
HOUSE OF COMMONS
TAKES UP MATTER
Motion for Vote of Censure
Will Be Debated on
Thursday

London, May s.-A political eri-
sis involving the security of the
Lloyd George government has arts
en- over the letter written by General
Maurice, formerly chief director of mill
tary operations, in which he questioned
the veracity of the premier and the chan
cellor of the exchequer In the House of
Commons a parliamentary tilt between
Andrew Bonar Law for the government
and former Premier Asquith resulted in
the governments acceptance of motion
by Mr.. Asquith that the House discuss
the form of inquiry to be made into the
statements of General Maurice.
The motion will be debated in the
House Thursday and the government has
decided to stand or fall on the vote taken
after the discussion. The government
looks upon the motion az vote of cen
sure and has called its supporters to be
in the House for a vote tomorrow.
"a division is absolutely certain" says
the call
According to the Press association the
proposal to refer the Maurice affair to-
two judges may be regarded as with
drawn, as the suggestion did not appeal
to the members of the House and its re-
lection by Mr.. Asquith and his followers
rendered il worthless.
On the other hand, il is added, it is
whether any other form of in
quiry will be held and it is likely the
premier will give the House the fullest
possible information consistent with
public safety, citing figures in proof of
his statement of the relative strength of
The army in January, 1917, and January,
1918. As regards other matters involved |
IN the statement of General Maurice, it |
is understood that an explanation per |
iectly consistent with both versions will |
ne made

WOMAN ARMY TO SAVE POTATOES.
Necessity of Quickly Increasing Con-
sumption to Prevent Large Loss
of Wheat.

Fifteen hundred home demonstration
agents of the United States department
of agriculture and the state agricultural
colleges started out this week to carry
the message of Eat More Potatoes to
every American woman, rural and urban,
who can be reached.
They are saying that if potato con-
sumption is not increased markedly
within the next few weeks, millions of
bushels will rot, the wheat saving effort
will not be wholly successful, and farm
ers may not plant enough potatoes this
year.
This nationwide effort is the opening
phase in a whirlwind drive to awaken
the country to the necessity of saving
the surplus potato crop. As it means
also saving of wheat, the combined
forces of the food administration and the
United States department. of agriculture
have undertaken jointly to urge these
important campaigns.
Now that the potato crop is being
moved and the prices on this product are
falling to a wheat level, the necessity for
cooperation of all federal and state
forces in a nationwide potato campaign
is imperative, federal officials point out.
Potatoes for Patriots.
The home demonstration agents of the
United States department of agriculture
and the state agricultural colleges are
ready to push the potato along well
paved way. They are teaching how to
use mashed potatoes as a substitute for
wheat flour in breads and pies and cakes;
they are giving instructions in the max
ing of potato loaf and scalloped and
l
how they can train their families to eat
potatoes cheerfully three times a day.
In the cities the gospel of potatoes for
patriotism is spread through the war
the neighborhood centers, the
hubs, the churches, demonstrations in
settlement houses, talks before Red
ross auxiliaries, etc Potato booths are
,eing arranged in the local food shows
md in the retail stores and the schools
md clubs are being enlisted in the big
rive.

"Like Mother Used to Make"

America is good cook, but an ex
travagant one She is apt to throw away
perfectly good food, she is apt to make
good loaf of bread or lemon pie on one
Thursday and a poor one on the next
Thursday. When the pie or bread is
good she boasts that she never measures
anything, when it is bad she boasts not
neither does she apologize; she accepts
il as one accepts rainy day-philosophi-
cally.
But America should this day change
her habits, boast less and measure more,
and make nothing but good bread and
good pie,
A good cook is what is known in the
artistic and literary world as good
craftsman. And a good craftsman in
any art means an intelligent worker who
accomplished his aim most exactly with
the least effort An artist must know
his proportions before he can correct err
rors and so, too, our housekeeper must
know exactly what she is doing, else on
one Thursday she may make a good lem
on pie and on the next a poor lemon pie.

Like A Boy at 50 BubbIing Over
 With Vitality-Taking Iron Did Ii
Doctor says kuxaed Iron greatest of all strength builders increases the strength and endurance of delicate
 folks 100 per cent, in two weeks time.

NEW YORK. N. Y.--Not long ago q man came to me who was nearly half century old and asked me to give him preliminarly examination for life insurance. l was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man. in fact young man he really was not withstanding his age The secret he said was taking iron-nuXated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was m bad health; at 46 he wns caTeworn and nearly all in. Now at 50 after taking Nuxated Iron q mira cle of vitality and his face beaming with the bouyancy of youth. As have said hundred times over, iron Is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak and dun down. instead of dosing them selves with habit forming drugs ,stim-
 ulants and alchohc beverages I am convinced that In this way they could ward off disease, preventing 1t becoming organic In thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thous-
 ands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous Inaladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less shan a weak ened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to
 change food into living tissue. With out 1t, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you be-
 come woah' rale and sickly looking just like a plant trying 70 s,ov~ in Q
 soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe 1t to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two i've grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks Then test your strength again and sec for your self how much you hnve gained.

l have seen dozens of nervous run down people who were ailing all the while, double their strength and en- durance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to four teen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases beep doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit But don't take the old forms of re- duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save q few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and a3similated like nuNated iron if you want 1t to do you any good, otherwise 1t may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or pri2ehghter has won the day sim ply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the aftray, while many an other has gone down to inglorious de- feet simply for the lack of iron F.
