SAVE BUTTER FOR DEMAND MAKES
 SHORTAGE

Despite the warnings of the United States food administration that fooo must be conserved, there are thous- ands of men and women, to whom these warnings mean nothing. What food one woman can save in her home may not seem much, but if every wo- man in the country saved, the result is obvious.
 | One of the many articles of food which the warnings contain is that of fats, more especially butter. To save tiny scrap of butter may seem trivial matter, but if one could ina- zine herself without butter, she would 1 readily understand the reason for say- ing even a tiny scrap.
 People didn't believe such a thing as a sugar shortage would come to pass, but it did, and some of them began to think that after all there might be something to the ."save'' program.
 If butter is not conserved, the wo- men of this country will have to be looking for substitutes, or experiment in order to find a way to stretch out what is left. The ministry of food in | at the butter shortage. stage, has found after many tests and experiments that a satisfactory and economical way of eking out available butter and mar garine supplies is by mixing them with otherf ood substances. In the London Times, he suggests that housewives try potato butter,'' which can be purchased for Sc per pound, in our money, but which can easily be made at home without specia knowledge and without the aid of ap Iparatus.
 His recipe follows:
 ''Peel the potatoes and boil (ol steam) until they fall to pieces anC become noury. Rug through a fin, sieve into a large basin which ha: been previously warmed. To every IA ounces of mashed potato add ounces of butter or margarine an( one teaspoonful of salt. Stir thorough ly with the back of wooden spoo1 until the whole is quite smooth. Tn, butter may then be made up int pounds or half-pounds and kept in cool place.
 '~The potato butter may be inprov SU HI 1ppSdIduCO py lIlo dOQ1ClOn O few drops of butter coloring, ant if it is to be kept for more than few days butter preservative, of whicl there are several forms on the mar ket, should be used. The amour should be in accordance with tht printed instructions on the packet fo use in butter. Both the coloring ant the preservative should be well mix ed into the potato at the same tim as the butter and salt. If these direc tions are carefully followed potat
 butter will keep for a considerabl
 time, though it may be found tha the surface is apt to become dry, bu this can be obviated by keeping wrapped in grease-proof paper"

Madame suggested a few changes to be made in the skirt when the frock was tried on Tuesday. The tunic was too long, while the under skirt was too full and not long enough.
 In choosing the material and the color for Miss Goring's frock, Madame was undecided between robins egg blue chiffon or crepe Georgette of a soft tone of delphinium blue. The latter proved to be the more becom- ing to the young lady's brunette type of beauty.
 And Mrs. Goring answers: ''Werl, if your heart is set upon having anoth- CT gown consult Madame about it. But this is positively the last you can

HERE is no denying the fact 1 'twheedlin' way about her. Every time her aristocratic mother says: "You mustn't order any more frocks this season, you have too many already" she makes no reply, simply smiles sweetly.
 Then, a week or so later, she con- trives somehow to bring her mother to the studio and is hardly inside be- fore she says, in a coaxing way, that not even grumpy" could resist:
 Mother, really need new frock. This one is scandalously shabby. Look at it!"

After vanishing linoleum, which will preserve it, try waxing it on top of the varnish just as you would pol ish a hardwood floor. About once a week wipe with clear water and clean cloth and about once in two weeks apply the floor wax, leaving it to dry about 20 minutes, then polish with dry, soft cloth. The wax will brighten the linoleum and will help to resist wear.

DEMONSTRATE THE IDEALS FOR
WHICH THE BOYS FIGHT

July % and % found many boys
taking the first step towards France.
These boys will be educated by travel
and training. They will learn the
lessons of democracy, and the power
of team work. When they come
home the petty disagreements COM
mon to some neighborhoods, the
small tittle-tattle of gossip, the in
ability of some communities to pull
together, will worry them. Leaving
home, they were not ashamed To
show their love for home. They
kissed their women folks goodbye
though all the world was looking
they found their eyes moist despite
their manliness.
When they are in camp, the little,
common pleasures of everyday life
will soon loom large. Father, mother
and the children will all be given
halos, and it is up to u.s. to see
tOdl the nhlOS III WnSli lhS DOy . NolhS
home. They will be terribly disap-
pointed in us if we don't demonstrate
the ideals for which they are fight
ing. They have a right to expect
that those of us who stay at home
will keep up the school, the church,
the community and the soil to the
highest possible standard.
There are so many things we can
do. There is a disposition in the
United States to wink at violation OF
the child-labor law; this should not
be tolerated. The spread of tubercu-
losis is alarming; each community
should take a firm stand for the pre-
vention of this disease. There Is
temptation to keep boys out OF col
lege because of the war and the
shortage of male help; but the boy
who gives up college now is not like
