vet right here in New York, without any work
or assistance whatever in your kitchen, YOU
can have an appetizing hot meal deliciously
cooked and ready to serve in courses on your

Sounds like magic? Well, to tell the truth.
it is the magic of organization. But in war
times kaleidoscope changes are the rule and
the American Cooked Food Service, which
sends meals piping hot to your door, is one Of
them.
From three grades of menus which are 35

50 cents for luncheon you choose your meal.
Suppose we order the 35-cent luncheon for
1880. By 1880 lavender motor car is at
the door and the driver deposits, in regular

The cold items included lemon Jelly served

drop cakes full of nuts and raisins and of I'M
mistakable homemade flavor finished the meal.
Even the butter was already cut in cubes, the
bread sliced and individual wee tea bags of
cambria were ready for each cup.
In fact, all that was necessary to do to serve
this steaming meal was to set the table and to
heat water for the tea. Afterward there were
no pots and pans to wash; the service really
prefers that you do not wash the containers,
as they have their own method of sterilizing
and cleaning, and so all you do is to replace
them, emptied, in their receptacle, and set
them out for the man Of the lavender motor

Young tender rabbits must be used. Make
a marinate of three tablespoonsful of oil. one
tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one table,
spoonful of chopped shallots, five chopped

and leave them few hours in the marinate.
Put each piece in we'll buttered piece of

terial involved, giving adequate and
clear instructions to the printers. and
other persons interested in the max
ing of the book. Technical knowledge,
such as is necessary for this, is not
to be gained without actual expe-
rience.
The students on the managing
board of the Savitar this year who
have had previous experience enough
to equip them to handle the PROPOSE
ton with any degree Of success, are
members of the Students Army Train
ing Corps and expect to leave the
Uniersity long before the time when
the printers would have to receive
their last instructions.
There has been suggested that the
women of the University, being the
only group large enough to name as
a group, take up the matter and put
out the book this year. There is
only one reason why this could not
easily be done. Just now there is no
group of women here who have had
the technical training necessary to the
management and edition of such
volume. The work of collecting and
arranging the material could very
well be done by the girls, but the
technical instructions would be the
snag which would occasion much
trouble to the ship if not entirely
wrecking it.
There is that technical difficulty in
getting out a War Book, but there
would be less material and cOnse-
quently, as less time would be re-
quired in making up the volume, the
services of someone who has the re-
quired knowledge might easily be OBJ
tanned. F.

THE GREAT SERVICE

Now can the people of America
show their appreciation for the great
service their boys are giving in the
camps of Europe and the United
States. The United War Work Cam
paign is to be launched next Sun
day and Monday.
Seven organizations have pooled
their resources and have decided to
make one appeal for funds for this
years work in the camps. Six cam
paigns for funds are thus avoided.
The expense of six campaigns is thus
saved. From no one of these seven
organizations will come again this
year an appeal for funds.
The plan is eminently sensible.
Much time, much effort and much
money is saved. The amount of mon
ey asked has been figured out so
that the needs of each organization
will be met.
There can be no argument that
money spent this way is lost. Money
spent in sending cheer and small
comforts to our men who are under
going hardships such as we cannot
imagine is money spent in a glorious
cause 1t is money that is and will
be returned a thousand-fold.
Give when the campaign starts. give
to the limit of your pocketbook Then
go out and persuade some recreant
miserly creature to go down into his
pocket and do likewise.

THE OPEN COLUMN
On Having a Savitar This Year.

Editor the Missourian: After due
consideration might it not be possi-
BILE to omit the regular edition of the
Savitar this year, converting the book
into a war record of the various in
dividuals who either were or have
been students in the University. and
who are now engaged in war or in
one of the branches of industries es-
sential to the proper and successful
carrying on of the war.
This substitute seems to be a rea-
sonable plan. In the first place, it is
practically impossible to get out the
regular edition of the book this year,
both because of the transciency of the
student body. most of them members
OF the Students Army Training Corps,
and as such, subject to sudden trans
Terence 10 other institutions and
camps. and because of the magnitude
OF the task.
1t is well-nigh impossible for an
inexperienced group of students to
handle successfully the mass of ma

THE SHOUTING PATRIOT

There are certain persons who think
that the only thing they have to do
to be patriotic is to shout long and
loudly and talk a great deal against
the kaiser. There is another group
that doesn't say much but has given
its sons to the service, its money to
war fund and its labor to pushing the
various activities.
1t isn't the loud talk and bombastic
sentiment that is going to win this war
unless there is real patriotism back
of it all. 1t is sacrifice for both those
at home and those at the front, sac
rifice of money and labor and comfort
and luxuries. Thoughtlessly and
wrongfully hurling the charge of be-
ing unpatriotic at anyone who hap
pens to differ from ones point of
view is grave wrong.
1t is easy to point out what should
not have been done after an act has
been committed But when fault
finders who object to some of the war
activities are asked to contribute their
opinions to helping with constructive
work of the future they are most oft
en- found lacking.
If you see something that you think
is wrong, before attacking loudly and
Justify, ask yourself if you can sug-
gest a better scheme to take its place.

S PORT

With the season more than half
gone. no Missouri Valley Conference
football team has yet played another
member of the conference Next Sat-
urday promises to see the first rea;
display of comparative strength in
the teams of the Valley. Nebraska
will come to Columbia big favorites
for the first game OF the Tigers.
of two victories and a defeat. The
Cornhuskers lost TO the University of
Iowa by a score of IL to o. Later
they defeated Cotner College and
Wesleyan University by large scores.
Missouri, on the other hand, has not
played a game with any outside col
lege and has had very little regular
practice. The Tiger team will consist
of one letter man, four or five men
from last years freshman squad, and
the rest from this years freshman
class. The team will average about
154 pounds as against the Nebraska
average of 175 to 1S0 pounds. The
contest will be one of light, inexper-
fenced men against a heavier and
more experienced eleven. While the
outlook for a victory for the Tigers
is not bright, Cach Schultz says that
it will not be a walk-away for the
Cornhuskers.
Washington University will play
Drake. Ii should be an easy game
for Washington. Drake. with only
one veteran player on the team, lost
to Grinnel College last Saturday by
the score of II to 0. The Washington
team, under the direction of Ruther-
ford, is one of the strongest that
school has turned out in many years.
The Washington team will come here
for a game with Missouri a week
from next Saturday.
Kansas will play the University of
Oklahoma. Neither team has had
contest thus far this season and the
strength of each is unknown. Kansas
State Agricultural College will play
a minor school, and Iowa State Col
lege has no game scheduled.

The denial of a story coming out
of the East saying that the annual
Kansas-Mssouri game will be played
in Kansas City Thanksgiving Day as
war fund benefit makes it look as
though someone in the East jumped at
conclusion without knowledge of the
situation, says C. E. Mcbride in the
Kansas City Star.
The Missouri game will be
played at Lawrence, unless a suspen-
sion of the rule prohibiting games
away from the college gridirons is
obtained The university authorities
might possibly agree to give half the
proceeds to the war funds. In fact
that seems to be the plan suggested by
W. o. Hamilton, athletic manager at
X. u.
The truth of the situation is that
the Kansas Missouri game this year
is the main hope of Kansas and al
most the only hope of Missouri to
raise enough money to make a show
ing in athletics during the present
year. To give the receipts of the
game to the war work fund probably
would mean the practical suspension
of athletics at the two universities for
the remainder of the year.
A more practical plan for the rails
ing of money for the war funds
through use of the University of Kan
COG and Miccouri aIauanc uOuId ha tho
arranging of post season games with
each university meeting an army
eleven. For instance, when Missouri
and Kansas have completed their
schedule let the Jayhawkers and the
Funston eleven play here one Satur-
day and the Tigers and the Funston
team the following Saturday.
The Valley Conference would be
quick to suspend its college gridiron
rule for these war benefit games. No
doubt each university would be glad
to keep it's team in training and play
the game. Kansas City football fol-
lowers would have another chance to
see the Tigers and the Jayhawkers in
dCllOu, dHu Win -tuS hduSdo SlIg Alh-
letic Club promoting the games as
the ArmyNavy game was promoted
last fall, thousands of dollars could
be turned over to the war fund.
Such a plan would obtain more
money for the war fund than the
Kansas-Missouri game would return,
and in addition it would work hard
ship on neither school.
