Food Club Work
 Very Important

The tendency is apparent in some communities to regard the U. $. Food club as of small importance Some women say that they are too busy doing other kinds of war work to be bothered with food clubs. This is the wrong idea There is no other work so important as the food work Let's consider it for moment. Suppose the food administration should fail to secure the necessary distribution of would be the result The armies of America, Britain, France. Italy and Belgium would collapse The muni- tion workers in the same countries would be unable to produce the ma chinery of war. The physicians and nurses would be unable to care for the sick and wounded. The wounded themselves would have less chance of recovery. The tragedy of the Russian collapse might easily happen in any other land if the same conditions were
 
 tions would be sufficient to lose the war Any of them or all of them, could easily happen if the food admin, istration fell short of its task Can you see now the relationship between the L. S Food clubs and the war?
 Look at it from another point of view You are knitting d sweater for your son. your brother. your husband your lover. How would that sweater feel over an empty stomach? You are knitting socks for the soldiers. Socks protect only the feet, food strengthens and warns the whole body. You are spending three or four afternoons q week making clothes for the children of France and Belgium. Which would make them happier, those new clothes or three good meals day? The sew ing and knitting are important. Go to it, but don't get such a false sense of proportion that you give all your time and attention to one branch of l work and neglect that which is more important.
 The U. s. Food clubs are the ap- proved means through which the food administration for Alaska is trying to meet its share of a tremendous re in your neighborhood.

Viola Dana is justly popular with Cordova picture patrons. Combined with winning personality, she pos, sesses dramatic talent rather unusual among the younger screen favorites.

needed food elements are present. II
also may be used as a major or minor
ingredient in stews and soups.
Instead of serving rice plain as q
vegetable, 1t may be stewed with to-
matoes, cooked in double boiler with
tomato juice, soup stock or milk, or
1T may be seasoned with curry pow
der, onions or other seasoning mate

AS cereal for breakfast, rice may
be boiled In milk and sweetened, or
eaten with butter and salt. II it is
desired, dried fruits such as dates or
raisins may be cooked with the rice.
Cold boiled rice, mixed with pancake
or muffin batters Of wheat. buckwheat
