TEACHING THE SOLDIER BOYS
TO SPEAK FRENCH.

"A little knowledge of French
is a dangerous thing" according to
Clarence B. keiland, the Well known
writer who went across on board an
army transport and hardened to the
soldier boys acquiring table d'hote
vocabularies. He relats:
The request. Cant you get some
body to teach us the lingo?" is voic-
ed hundred times on the. first day
out by the soldiers and it is respond
ed to Immediately by Y. NJ. c A.
workers, who organize number Of
small classes among the men. The
men pick their own method of learn
ing French. They like to get into
little groups of six or eight around
an instructor and sfng-song French
words and phrases after him. All
over the ship you can hear half a
dozen soldiers with their heads to-
gether chanting, 'pommes de 'terre,
and such like valuable words for
fifteen minutes at stretch.
The boys are picking it up rapidly.
By the time port is made a good
share of them will be able to enquire
their way and order meal. Wheth-
er they get where they are wanting
to go or exactly what they ask for
is another matter. It is told on ex-
cellent authority that one soldier ap-
preached Frenchman aboard and
enquired in his best French if the
gentleman had slept we'll. The
Frenchman flew into a rage and IL
riot was prevented by a lieutenant
who discovered that his man, instead
of making. courteous inquiry, had
accused the Frenchman of stealing
his pants.

Roast Beef Once a Week.

FrolO time immemorial, almost,
the man who makes the weary
round of hotels and restaurants has
found roast beef, medium, his favor
lite dish. Stated with various viands
offered on the bill of fare, he has
glanced at the proffered menu,
thrust it aside impatieutly, and
with a sigh of satisfaction said
Bring me some roast beef"
But war times have brought a
complete change in habits of eating
and roast beef can now be served
at hotels and restaurants only once
a week. The Food Administration
recently announced that the de-
creasing surplus of beef and the ill.,
creasiDg demands of the growing
army make conservation in beet
consumption imperative until Sep
| temper 10.
The Hotel Division of the Food
Administration has suggested the
following uniform regulations for
hotels and public eating places to
accomplish the conservation de
sired:
Roast beef, whether hot or cold,
should be served only on Monday
at the midday meal; stewed, boiled
or beef hash on Wednesday and
Saturday at the midday meal;
steaks in any form, including ham,
burg steak, on Thursday only at the
midday meal. By-products of beef.
such as OK tails, livers, tongues,
sweet breads, hearts. kidneys,
brains and tripe may be served at
any time.
Every patriotic eating place is
expected to comply at once on a
voluntary basis.

The demand for fertilizers 10 be
used on wheat during the coming
fall is going to be greater than the
supply. There will undoubtedly be
transportation difficulties similar 10
those OF last fall and last spring.
Those ftrmers wishing fertilizers
should determine their needs AZ
once and get their local dealers to
place their orders. Where otderS
are placed thru farmers oreaniZa
tons. it is highly necessary to make
arrangements as soon as possible in
order TO be sure of delivery in time
for seeding. The great value of
fertilizers on the wheat crop is
being realized by the farmers who
have average to thin land The
nigh price of wheat as well as the
great need of this crop for war
purposes warrant the use of every
bit of fertilizer that can be secured
IN Missouri this year.
