RELIABLE AND TOOTHSOAIE
CONSERVATION RECIPES

Mrs. Edith Wilson Roberts, who
spoke at the Chautauqua on food
conservation, furnished some reliable
and toothsome recipes which the
Tidings has been asked to reprint,
and several of which will appear
from time to time:
Wheatless Yeast Bread-Into a cup
of corn meal stir l cup cold water.
Add 3 cups boiling water; boil 5
minutes; and cook in double boiler
20 minutes. Cool to luke-warm; add
yeast cakes soaked in Y cup of
lukewarm water. Of starter is used
reserve cups water from the corn
meal mush and put in 212 cups of
liquid in place of the compressed
yeasD. Add teaspoons corn syrup,
2 teaspoons liquid fat, and l table
spoon salt. Beat in cup barley
or oat flour. Beat well and set to
rise for 2 hours. Sift together 2
cups barley flour, cups oat flour,
and l cup cornstarch. Beat into a
sponge with strong spoon until It
is soft dough consistency. Put in
pans. For baking in a range, put
into a warm oven as for a rising
oven, about Sc degrees Fahrenheit.
Maintain this low temperature for
20 minutes,S and then increase the
heat gradually to low baking tenn
perature. The baking from the time
it goes into the oven should occupy
l 1s hours. If gas or electricity is
used, put broad into oven, turn on
heat very low, and continue as above.
This recipe makes two loaves.
Corn Flour Drop Biscuit-1h
cups liquid; 2% cups corn flour; 3
tablespoons fat; 4 level teaspoons
baking powder; l teaspoon salt.

RECEIPTS LARGE IN
PACIFIC DISTRICT

The net receipts from the national
forests of Oregon, Washington and
Alaska, comprising the north Paci.
flc district of the forest service, for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1918, were S633, 10000, according
to tabulation Just compiled by Fis-
cal Agent H. |. Loving, in the office
OF District Forester G. H. Cecil, of
Portland, Oregon. This is a larger
amount than was received any pre-
ceding year except 1917, when the
receipts amounted to about $25O0
more.
Receipts from the sale of national
forest timber during the year
amounted to S419,2522S, and make
up the largest item in the tabulation.
This is more than the receipts from
timber sale business in any preced-
Ing year except 1917 when they were.
s5o'oOo greater. According to for
estry officials, the falling off from
last year in timber sale business is
due chiefly to labor trouble and the
fact that no very large sales, re-
1uiring large deposits, were initiated
during the year.
Receipts from the sale of grazing
privileges amount to $1S5,442, which
was $4,000 more than in 1917, the
argest preceding year. Special use
permits brought in $16,S50 in 1918
ls against, $11, 900 in 1917. Power
lite permits paid $11,362, which is
more than double the receipts from
his source in 1917. Fire trespass-
RS paid $792.4S in 1918.

WARNED NOT
TO BURN MIDNIGHT OIL

The supply of kerosene will rur
snort next winter and the govern
ment is urging every user to do his
part toward making every gallon tc
do full war duty by giving forth its
full measure of heat and light. Say.
ing can be accomplished, it is said
only If care is given lamps, lanterns,
heaters and stoves.
The director of oil conservation
OF the United States fuel administra-
tion issues these rules for fuel-oil
saving:
Keep all lamps and lanterns clean.
Let the light out; don't confine II
behind smoked and dirty chimneys.
See that burners and wicks of all
oil-burning devices are clean. Clean
burners require less oil and give bet
ter lights.
Don't allow lamp, lantern. heater
or stove to burn minute longer
than is necessary. Don't light one
you can do without.
Don't use coal oil for cleaning
purposes. Hot water will do the
work.

A TWICE-TOI4D TALE.
Dne of Interest TO Our Readers

Good news bears repeating, and
when 1t is confirmed after a long
lapse Of time, even II we hesltated to
believe 1t at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting its truth now. The
following experience OF an Ashland
man is confirmed after two years:
S. +. Long, 1854 Helman ST., Ash
land. says: 81 have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and can say they are good.
They gave me relief from backache
and kidney and bladder trouble and
| recommend them with pleasure"
Over two years later, Mr.. Long
said: MY former recommendation
for Doan's Kidney Pills still holds
good. know they are a medicine Of
merit and can't be equaled for back
ache and kidney trouble. Whenever
! have occasion to take a kidney rem

soldiers have died.

The captured letters. Talk of the
same kind also is becoming stronger
among the prisoners, but the day OF
actual revolution in Germany seems
to be about as remote as 1t was d
year ago. Some of the prisoners
taken lately seem furious against
Field Marshal Hindenburg and Cen
eral Ludendorff for driving them on,
but they have a rather kindly feeling
for the kaiser, who, they say, rightly
or wrongly, is entirely under the
thumb of the militaiists of Germany.

GERMANS HOLD FIRE
OF YANKEES IN DREAD

For giving an accurate picture oil
what impressions the once scorned
Americans are making upon the
German soldiers nothing Is equalei
to their captured letters, written to
families and friends in Germany,
something as long ago as a month
In these letters the German soldier
tells of the hellish American artillery
fire and how they dread it.
From Equax Besot, northwest OF
Chateau Thierry, which was about 4
miles behind the front when the
counter blow was struck, a German
soldier in one of the fusileer regl-
monts wrote:
81 find myself in Equax and quite
close to the front. The Americans
are shooting with such good effect
that | am never sure of my life. We
all hope that war will soon be over
and ! can go back to Baden, to stay
in the fatherland."
A letter taken from a prisoner and
dated June is, said:
II am not with my company as !
cannot get out of the village. They
are firing very heavily-in fact, we
have the Americans opposite us and
when they fire it Just halls, We think
tfat the hour Of our lives is at end"
The state of mind in Germany is
shown by the following letter from
man in Magdenburg to his brother in !
the army:
81 cannot promise myself results
from our offensive. The throngs of
men go down to their death and our
main detectives are not attained.
Peace hovers farther away and the
German nation receives only fresh
wounds and suffers still further pri-
yations. Only the clear thinking peo-
pic have this conviction. see clear
Iy how we are being trampled down,
If the end does not come soon some
sort of outbreak will be unavertable.
cannot yet trust my thoughts to the
etter. hope we shall be able to
GEAR all the hardships firmly and to
hen resume the life of human beings.
Il one did not have this hope he
gould rightly call our present con-
litions nothing better than slavery
md mere struggle for existence"
These revolutionary sentiments are
,etting somewhat more frequent in

abandoned. There is greater demand
here as elsewhere for freight carry
ing facilities. Here the freight trains
are overloaded with wheat, barley,
lumber and the other war essentials
When the passenger trains are taken
off freight trains will be put on in
their places, and even the passenger
trains will be conscripted for the
movement of troops when necessary.
Locally there will be no reduction
in the force of railroad men and there
will be an increase in pay all along
the line. Big fellows at the top, with
salaries of 100000 and better, will
have a crimp put in them, but the
men who do the actual work will be
we'll paid under government operation
of the roads.
Passenger and freight agents will
find themselves out of jobs under the
new order, but they will be switched
to other lines of work.
