The Three BIS
United States Can Whip the Hun
With Bacon, Bread and Beans,
Says the Food Administrator.
We can whip Germany with thre,

We can whip Germany with three
"B, Bacon Bread and Beans.
These are three of our most i'm
portant kinds of ammunition. The
first two we must place in the hands
of the Allies. The third is for our
own defense.
Putting bacon into the hands of
the Allies is one of the most impor-
tant ways in which We can help
fight this war. Bacon is a highly
concentrated food and can be ship
ped abroad readily and economic
ally. If we can send larger quanti-
ties of it abroad, it will go a long
way toward keeping the soldiers in
tip-top fighting condition and the
wolf from the doors of their famil-
les.
But to do this means a sacrifice
by every one of us. 1t means that
each of us must be particularly car
full in our use of bacon, pork and
pork products, for our hogs have de-
creased alarmingly in number, dur
ing the past year. Yet. If we are
going to meet even the minimum de-
mand made on us, we must increase
our exports of bacon and pork.
00,000,O00 pounds over pre-war
averages.
Think this over before serving ba-
con for breakfast tomorrow.
The second "B" is Bread. A
slice of wheat bread is scarce in any
of the Allied countries to-day as a
German soldier in uniform is here
in America. For two years rich and
poor alike have been eating war
bread. But even this war-bread can
not be made without some of our
wheat. We must reduce our wheat
consumption to 80 per cent below
normal until next harvest if the
I Allies are still to have bread.
This means sacrifice and substi-
tuition on our part. We must eat
corn and oatmeal bread. barley
scones, rice and potatoes. We must
! eat less cake and pastry and save
our bread crumbs for puddings,
mullins, baked dishes, and griddle
/ cakes. Save one pound weekly of
wheat for everyone in your family
and you will put bread into those
| out-stretched hands across the water
that plead for our help.
And now for the last B,"-Beans.
They are one of the most valuable
! kinds of ammunition we have for
| our own deIenSe. by using DeanS
| more freely we can save thousands
| of pounds of meat for our soldiers
and the Allies.
! Eat beans dried and canned. Eat
! them boiled and baked. Eat them
in mullins. timbales, sandwiches,
baked loaves, soups, salads, croquet
| tes. and souffies. Eat them for break
| fast, lunch, and dinner. They are
always nourishing, always satisfy
| ing, always healthful. Get acquaint-
ed with all the varieties-the navy,
lima, and kidney beans, string beans,
pinto beans, and soy beans.

Warren, don't you think I'll be
perfectly justified if I write and ask
her about it?"
About WHAT"
why, that present l sent to Bea-
trice, 1 mailed it to her the Thurs
day before Christmas. and I've
never heard a word about it,
Well, you know the way Christ
mas presents often go astray."
Yes. But don't you think it's
queer that just that one has gone
astray? I mailed one to Frances
and one to Louise. and sent moth
er's box on that very same day, and
everything else reached its destina-
ton safely enough"
We'll, why don't you settle it for
yourself? You women ought TO
know how to handle those things.
Why do you ask me what to do?'
Just TO get your opinion, l sup
pose. You know 1 didn't receive
anything from Beatrice this year
just a very formal card, l wonder if
it could be possible that anything
is wrong with her? Maybe she is
angry about something"
But if you haven't done anything
how can she be angry?"
II don't know a thing that 1 have
done, but she may imagine anything
she pleases. You know 1 don't make
a great many calls, and she lives
so terribly far out of town. 1 be-
lieve I will write her." And Helen
walked over to her writing desk,
took some of her new stationary
out of the drawer and wrote a
rather stiff little not in which she
simply wondered whether or not the
little gift that she had sent at
Christmas time had ever reached
its destination safely.
That certainly ought to make Bea-
trice feel small if she neglected ac-
knowledging the gift from any per-
sonal motive of spite, thought Hell

a feeling of righteous conviction.

|Life'sProblems
Are Discussed

A few weeks ago a woman sent
me what purported to be the story
of her life presented in the form of
a George AIDE fable. I read it, took
it for a bit of fiction. and laid it
aside.
Yesterday I received from an
other part of the country a letter
from another woman which told an
almost identical experience. The
only difference was that the first
was couched in the form of a flip
pant narrative, while the second
made no effort to embellish what
10 the writer was a tragic fact.
This is the fable:
There was once a Human Saus-
age who, in his thirty-ninth autumn
decided that it was up to him to
impose his special brand of kultur
on some unsuspecting Bunch of
Floss and make her very happy.
CLARA May fell for his speci-
.fications. She was twenty-five and
sophisticated, which means she had
come to realize that to foXtrot di-
vinely does not necessarily imply
serious intentions. Here at last
was something solid. not to say
stodgy. AS a romantic ideal. Fran
els y. Bushman or Lou Tellegen may
have had it on him by several
shades, but good provider' was
banded all over him. He was in
business for himself, and diffused
an aroma of blended sterling citi-
zenship and liver and onions.
Clara May had mental birds
eye of herself as the plump matron
in one of those home and fireside
scenes depicted by the advertiser
of oil heaters and encyclope pedias.
She had herself all set for the role
of thrifty little housewife, and had
already begun to plan the pleasant
surprises she would spring on him
when he came home tired and hun
cry to dinner. She bought a cook
book and pestered all her married
friends TO tell her the most judicious
and economical ways of marketing.
As a conservator of the family re-
sources she was going TO show Her
bert Hoover that he was still in
the primary class.
Futile dreams! Somewhere in
those thirty-nine bachelor years of
his the Good Provider had run across
the aphorism, a man is as pros
porous as his wife will let him me-
and it took. Hardly had the strains
of the wedding march died away be-
fore he started to dig himself in
against attack.
Let a fighty, inexperienced young
person of twenty-five dope out his
menus for him and everyday him
with the butcher and baker and
candlestick maker? Not a China
mans chance of it. That was
task befitting ripe and sedate ma
turity. Suppose he should come
home with his mouth a-water for
corned beef and cabbage, only to
find spread out a dainty, schoolgirl
hnchen of lettuce sandwiches and
French pastry? And wasn't Mrs.
Newlywed traditional game for the
willy profiteers?
Accordingly he issued General
Orders No. /, as follows:
u will benevolently relieve you
of all responsibility in regard to my
household, will order all the meals,
do the marketing and settle all ac-
counts. Your duties will be to cook,
scrub. wash, iron, sew and mend
under my direction, and to make me
comfortable.

We do not know of more sincere
tribute that could be paid to any
medicine. Certainly it is the strong

has done. The staunchest friends of
