CONSERVATION OF FOOD

The academicans have been telling us for years that the
American people ate too much and wasted too much. 1t was A
common saying that an American family wasted annually
enough to feed a family in / Europe.
1t took a great war to bring us to a realizing sense OF the
truth OF these admonitions, and now that we have learned the
lesson, it will be the part Of wisdom for us to continue to
Hooverlze when the war is over. Overeating is bad for the
health as well as for the purse. Enough is as good as a feast
at all times, and without unduly denying ourselves, we viii be
all the better for moderating our voracity and using what is
necessary To health and strength and no more.
The first great problem that confronted primitive man was
the question OF providing food for the race, and as long as the
race lasts this will be the paramount problem.
In our land OF blessed abundance, we we're not called uDon
10 give thought to economy i'll the consumption of food. The
war has brought us into such intimate relations witt the rest
OF the world that our eyes have been opened and our vision
enlarged.
Millions of people live in countries where no amount of
industry on their part can produce a sufficient amount OF food
for all They depend upon other countries to supply the def
ciencies of their own.
Every morsel saved where food is plentiful will 90 to sup-
ply the suffering where food is scarce. We have found that we
can do with less than we formerly used, and that less is better
Tor us. For our own w%elLbeing, as we'll as for the good of
Others, we should prudently conserve our food products. We
are our brothers keeper, and DIR brothers are the human race.
We should consider them, and while nature rewards our industry
with a generous increase we should remember that nature is
as 1t IS here, and that a part Of our surplus will 90 far toward
supplying less fortunate people with a moderate sutiiciencv.
Mr.. Hoover has not hurt us. He has helped us. He has induced
us to learn that a comfortable existence may be had for a
much lower price than we have been paying in years gone by.

A WORD WITH WOMEN
Valuable Advice for Bridgeport
 Readers.

Many a woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of back ache, pains about the hips, blue, ner- vous spells dizziness and urinary dis orders, hopeless of relief because she doesn't know what is the matter.
 Is it not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble peculiar to the sex" Often when the kidneys get congested and inf1amed, such aches and pains follow.
 Then help the weakened kidneys. Don't expect them to get we'll alone.
 Doans Kidneys Pills have won the praise of thousands of women. They are endorsed at home - Read this Bridgeport woman's convincing state ment:
 Mrs. J. D. Seymour, 34 Revere St., says: My back and kidneys bother ed me and I had heavy, dull,, bearing down pains across the small of my back, which never seemed to let up. My kidneys were weak, too. Some times there seemed to be specks floating before my eyes, which inter fered with my sight. I certainly was feeling miserable until finally I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, which bought at Nichols Drug Store Deans soon removed the trouble"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don'd simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Seymour had. Foster -Milburn Co, Mfgrs.. Buffalo. N. Y.-Adv.

Massage only one side of the face at a time, unless one is expert at it. Don't hold the muscles firmly while massaging, but allow the face to fall in a natural manner, so that no strain is put on the muscles during the exer- else.
 To smooth the wrinkle away from the mouth, cream or oil should be used on the finger tips. The motion of the fingers should be upward and outward and very gentle.
 On the other hand, if there are crows feet underneath the eyes, they should be massaged with a downward and outward stroke. However, the motion should only be slightly down ward and principally outward. Never massage the face with dry fingers, for this will tend to irritate the skin. It is necessary to use a little pure face cream for this.
 Sometimes a face cream may tend to darken the complexion. If this happens simply add a little lemon juice or benzion to the cream.
 One of the best purifiers for the skin and a desirable wash after mas sage is either pure cows milk or a little sour milk.

For instance, massage of the feet tends to relieve the tired feeling-by proper upward rubbing the blood is drawn upward from the feet so that fresh blood flows into the ankles and toes. Massage of the gums, also, is valuable in improving circulation and in rendering the gums less sensitive. But the massage of the face and the arms has a slightly different function.
 Facial massage should first assist in removing the horny layer from the surface of the skin and; second, it should stimulate circulation so that the complexion is improved. Massage being species of friction, some per- sons suppose that the more strenuous the massage the more beneficial its effects. This isn't the case. The face is sensitive and unless the skin is rubbed lightly and the strokes are ap- piled in the proper direction the fac iaI massage is likely to hurt more than help.
 The practice of rubbing the face downward will put sagging lines into the skin as readily as worry or late hours. If you wish to obtain the full benefits of the massage, either sub init to the care of an expert masseuse

What is the war standpoint in fasn- ions? Helen Koues tells in the sep tember issue of Good Housekeeping.
 There is just one big question today for men and women alike---to win the war. Women stand ready to do every thing. New work, ney aaroblems, new sorrows engulf them.
 Fashions! To some the mere word seems trivial, eNtravagant, out of place, when our hearts and thoughts turn to Flanders fields, and a uniform of service is the only one of real dis tinction.
 Fashions, like many other things today, have a new place, but they have a very definite place. Extrava- gance, ostentation, are barred, but we must be clothed, and suitably clothed, not only for warmth but for our greater work We must dress, not only on less, but in less time and with much less effort Like men, we no longer have time, thought, or energy to waste on what we wear; but what a sorry world it wouldl be If women were not charming!
 So this month I am thinking and speaking of the fashions from a new standpoint---a war standpoint. We all want to do our bit, and to do 1t we must perhaps go without something ourselves. To buy wisely now, if buy ing is necessary, it is well to get the newest lines, as they will remain in fashion longer: if making over last years clothes, do it so they will give the greatest service with least ex- pense.
 From our Paris Fashion Bureau to- day comes a letter telling me of what is new, and in it our representative, Mrs Stewart, says: 'The frocks are very simple. It is considered bad taste to wear elaborate clothes of any sort. Mrs. Vanderbilt, Miss Elsie de Wolfe. and other prominent Ameri cans are seen everywhere these days in their Red Cross uniforms 'As far as I have seen, the line of the silhoutte continues straight, but something new for winter is the knee

Face Feeling Easy
 Blonde or Brunette

''The blondes complexion fades early, because her skin is e3traordin- ary thin and f1ne,'' says Mife Lima Cavalieri The brunette's, as a, rule, is the reverse The skin b thicker and has a tendency to an oily ap- pearance."
 For either the faded blondes skin or the brunette's oily or sallow com plexion, the best remedy is ordinary mercolized wax. Used every night, this will give one an entirely new complexion within about a weeks time The wax gradually peels off the worn-out surface skin, with all it's defects, a little each day, without af- fecting the delicate underskin in the least The latter will have the ex- quistely beautiful glow of youth-in- deed, one may readily lose 10 or IS years from her age, so far as appear ance goes, by course of this simple treatment. The wax, procurable at any drug store, is applied like cold cream-Adv.

VICTORY CHOWDER GOOD RECEIPT AND
 HAS REAL VALUE.

Through the Bridgeport Home Gar sell of Stratford, makes a contribu- tion of real value in these meatless- wheatless days. It is a recipe for a Victory Chowder," which it has ap- propriately been named. It has been tested by gastronomic experts who have found it both pleasing to palate and satisfying to appetite. It is prac- tically complete meal and is unhes- itatingly recommended to those who are doing and are about to do their bit is the conservation of food by canning.
 This recipe is intended to absorb many of the vegetables growing in the ordinary family garden which would normally be wasted or not used. It has the advantage of being a per feet food ration and containing all the necessary food elements, balanced, without the use of meat.
 Its general use would save to the country at this time thousands of tons of vegetables which are otherwise of no use and are wasted. The tiny nubbtn of oorn, the tiny undeveloped squash, the small green tomato, the dry string bean, lima beans which have passed the stage of succulence, corn which has passed the milk stage are all available in it's making and it will be found one of the most delic- ious and nourishing products which may be canned. It will keep indef1- nitely when properly prepared; is simple in preparation and widely elastic in its variations.
 Victory Chowder.
 Tomatoes, pounds; carrots, 3 pounds; onions or leek, 2 pounds; use any of these three: tapioca, 1 ounce; barley, 1 cup; rice, 1 cup.
 Possible Additions-Sweet peppers (sliced pounds; okra (sliced), 2 pounds; navy beans or dry string beans (shelled), pounds; lima beans (too dry for ordinary use), 2 pounds; peas (too old for table use), 2 pounds; corn Goo small or too old for ordinary use) cut from cob. pounds; celery (chopped), 2 pounds; small squash, 1 pounds; cabbage (small un- developed heads), 2 pounds. Under eRe heading of Possible Additions" are articles which may singly or as a whole be added. One or more of them may be absorbed in about the quantity mentioned.
 The basic recipe makes about 12 pounds bulk to which should be added enough water to make eight | quarts of mixture. For each addi- l tional pound or bulk should be added one cup of water.
 Seasoning may be seasoned to taste, using salt, pepper, sage, l thyme, sweet basil, al1spice or other | seasonings, care being taken not to 1 overcome the flavor of the fresh veg l etables.
 Cooking-Place whole in open ket- | tie and boil down until eight quarts become five, care being taken not to burn. Place immediately in cans and | sterilize for one hour, then seal. . Serving-This may be warmed and | served as taken from the can or an equal quantity of milk may be added | before warming.
 It has the taste and appearance of being a thick vegetable favored meat soup.

PRINCESS MARY.

When Louis XII. of France became a widower at the age of 53 through the death of Anne of Brittany, he was left without an heir to his throne. He therefore sought in marriage Princess Mary, sister of Henry VIII. of Eng land, who was then IT years old. She was in love with Charles Brandon, Viscount Lisle, afterward Duke of Suffolk. Reasons of state, however, compelled her to accept Louis and they were married by proxy in Eng land in August, 1514. After the lapse of several weeks Louis became inn patient for his bride and urged inn mediate departure for France. Mary was sent with attendants, among them the Duke of Suffolk. Early in October Mary made her formal entry into France. Louis immediately dismissed all the attendants, with the exception of Suffolk who stayed as English Ambassador. Mary and Suffolk were very careful in their conduct but did not have to wait long for the king to die. He obliged three months after Mary's arrival, and a month later Mary and the Duke of Suffolk were married.
