Wilson Refuses to Be
Pictured in Uniform

New York, July 20.-From Guido
Bruno's Fifth Avenue garret yester-
day came assertions that President
Wilson does not approve of the work
of artists who picture the President
in military uniform as commander
in-chief of the Army and Navy.
In the August number of Bruno's
Bohemia, a Magazine of Life, Love
and Letters, will appear, says Bruno.
a letter which the President wrote
recently to Bernhard Wall, an artist
who had made an imaginative etch-
ing of President Wilson in uniform
and had sent one of the prints to the
duly appreciative of the gift, believes
at least so the letter in Bruno's
Bohemia says-that to put a mill
tary uniform on a President of the
United States violates a very funda-
mental principle of our institutions. :"

An Oven Meal

Feeding the family is a very i'm
portant task at any season of the
year. Perhaps it is a more difficult
enc in summer than in winter. The
appetite becomes easily jaded dur
ing the hot weather and needs con-
stant stimulation. 1t Graves cold
things TO drink rather than hot
things TO eat.
The housewife could easily give
the family what the family wants.
1t would be far simpler to feed them
from the iceboX than to stand over
hot cook stove to prepare a meal.
But with careful planning even the
latter can be made much easier. One
of the solutions is the oven meal.
With a small oven that sits on top of
a burner this means very little heat
and a great saving of fuel.
Since housewives are urged to pre-
pare as many perishable foods as
possible during the summer months.
there are q number of scalloped
vegetable dishes that can be oven
cooked. These with a roasted meat
or fowl and a baked dessert, can be
supplemented at table by a green
salad and behold. there is a bounti-
full meal prepared with a minimum
of heat
In cooking an oven meal, how
ever, care must be taken that dishes
are selected requiring approximately
the same amount of heat and that
the oven is not over-f1lled.
The following suggestions for oven
combinations are made with that
thought in mind:
Casserole of meat and vegetables.
Scalloped potatoes.
Baked rice pudding.
Roast stuffed chicken.
Sweet potatoes.
Baked squash.
Prune whip.
Baked while the first course is
being served.
Roast beef.
Franconia potatoes (baked in the
pan with roast).
Diced turnips.
Fruit pie with crust of barley
-four.
(Baked before the meat is put in
to roast).
Baked beans.
Brown bread.
Onions en- casserole.
Baked custard in cups.

The Universally
Needed Food

The war has taught us many
things about food. 1t has taught us
we can substitute corn, barley. rice
and other cereals for wheat without
any injury to our health. 1t has
taught us we can substitute milk,
cheese, nuts and eggs for meat, and
syrups for sugar.
But there is one food for which
neither this war nor any war will
ever teach us to use a substitute.
This food is milk. Milk is the one
food of universal necessity for chill
dren. 1t contains all the necessary
food elements and there is no sub
stitute for it, 1t is. in fact, the one
food which is called perfect"
Unfortunately, however. milk is
often considered only a beverage, in
stead of u highly nourishing food.
For this reason, when the price of
milk goes up cent or two, many
housewives reduce their milk or
der.
But this is not true economy, for
milk at any price is the cheapest
animal food. Twenty-Five cents
worth of it will give more energy
than twenty-five cents worth OF
meat, eggs, or fish. Worked out on
the basis of how much food of differ
ent kinds one can get for twenty-five
cents, in buying milk at twenty cents
quart, one gets as much protein
as in meat at twenty-five cents a
pound, or eggs at thirty-five cents
a dozen. or fresh cod at twenty cents
a pound.
Children and invalids should have
plenty of milk. Germany has been
one of the first to recognize the alb
solute necessity of this. and in spite
of her milk shortage, she has MAIN
tained at all hazards the full milk
ration for German children and for
the German hospitals.
This country is more fortunately
situated than the other warning
countries for we are able to give
milk freely not only to our children
and invalids. but TO all consumers.
We must, of course, guard against
waste.
The flush season. when the cows
are on the grass is now on. This
may not mean a sharp drop in the
price of milk, as some might ex-
pect, for labor and cattle feed have
been high all winter and the dairy
man has had his overhead expenses
increased enormously.
But the intelligent housewife will
realize that true economy will not
allow any reduction in her family's
use of milk, no matter what the price
is. Economy will lead her always TO
buy whole milk instead of cream,
for the skim milk left in the cream
cry is often wasted. Take the top
of the bottle for cereals. coffee and
he like. have plenty for the children
to drink, use sour milk and whey in
cooking, and make cottage cheese
often to eat in place of meat

ary at your age, and which is educat-

Newspaper Workers
Escape Draft Orders

Washington, July 20. = General
Crowder, provost marshal, authoriZ-
ed the statement yesterday that no
order has been issued by him or his
office placing newspaper workers in
the ''nonproductive" classes under
the work-or-fight order.
The question was raised by New
York newspaper. which stated thai
all its printers of draft age had beer
notified to seek other employment or
be called into the army.
At General Crowder's office it was
stated there have been no modifica-
tions of the recent work -or-fight or
der and that newspaper workers
have never been considered as being
engaged in nonessential work and
that there is no intention of so de-
claring them now.

Advice to the LOvelorn

MARRY HIM

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am in love with a young man ten
years my senior, who, in return loves
me; He has asked me to marry him
and have consented. Although my
parents do not object, they are puz-
zied. as the government is extending
the draft age and he will be in the
dratt. He is man of good character
and has a fine position.
AS my parents are undecided they
ere anxiously waiting for your reply.
PAULINE G.
think l would not let the possi-
bility that the draft will be extended
enter my calculations. We have all
TO take few chances in life and we
never nave guarantees of happiness.
SO you are just as safe as the average
person when you marry under pres
ent conditions. Even If your husband
should be taken later, that is happen
ing to a great many women and they
live through it. In any event, you
will have had a little happiness to-
gether first or perhaps even a long
period of Joy. Take it.

YES, TALK PLAINLY

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am in love with charming young
me. but at times she seems indiffer-
ent.
This worries me, as I give her all
the attentions l can. She seems to
be too much out for a good time and
money on her.
She has promised to be my wife
some day. and l hardly know what to
make of her indifference. She goes
about with no other man. I can't find
out the trouble. Please advise me how
to approach such a girl. Should |
have heart to heart talk with her?
The girl you describe seems like
rather a cold-blooded fiirt! She wants
4 good time. encourages you to ex-
travagance, and yet gives you no
warmth of love and devotion in re-
turn. Perhaps she does not care par
ticularly for you, but has found no
one who means more to her. and so is
clinging to you and more or less un-
consciously waiting for some one who
will mean more to her appear on the
scene! You had better talk it over
with her, and come to some sort of an
understanding, for your present rela-
tionship seems to be bringing you only
worry and unhappiness and to be en-
couraging her in rather cold -blooded
sefhshness.
