ONE-CENT FARE

Until the war ends American soldiers will be
carried on American railroads operated by the
American government at the rate of ONE CENT
PER MILE! ..
So Director General McAdoo has announced.
And this in the face of increased wages to
railway employees.
On the other hand, McAdoo will cut out some
of the "conveniences" the travelling public has
"enjoyed," including separate and several ticket
offices scattered all over every city, trainsdeluxe
expensive booklets of advertising material, dupli-
eating schedules on competing lines, surplus din
ers and Pullmans, and excess baggage officials
drawing huge salaries.
Such efficiency and economy carried down
through the whole railway system should in time
spell one-cent fare for ALL Americans-if the
government keeps the roads.

Cheaper Foods Are Made More Appetizing # Care
 Is Used in Preparation

Proper attention to cooking and sea soning will make appetizing dishes of the cheaper yet nutritious foods. Ac- cording to the U. s. department of agriculture. 1t will increase greatly their consumption and thus reduce con- siderably the use of more expensive foods now eaten in place of them.
 Many housewives who complain that children and adults will not eat break fast cereals fail to realize that the cer- calls they serve may be undercooked. scorched, or improperly seasoned and thus made unpalatable. Most of the cheaper foods require careful season ing and preparation to be fully appe- tizing.
 Vegetables properly prepared tempt the appetite. When they are soeey or poorly seasoned. much of them will be left on the table,
 The quality and flavor of meat or fish can be injured by overcooking or improper cooking. If fats are allowed to burn even little. they develop un- pleasant flavors; if this happens in making gravies and sauces or in fry ing. the food will usually not be eaten {: burned meat Is also disagreeable and so are burned vegetables.

Iris Speaker, New Kind of Baseball Star-He Is One
 Without That Temperament

Iris Speaker. the outfielding star of the Cleveland Indians. has blossomed out as a new kind of star-one without temperament.
 Lee Fohf. the boss of the Indians. de- clares Iris to be the best man-abso- 1utely-that he ever worked with. Iris, according to Fohl. Is there with every thing-brains, batting. fielding and all the rest of it. In addition. the famous outfielder has a disposition that fits the temperament of every ball player with the Indians. He's the friend of every body. The kids who hang around the ball park and who. like kids ever since baseball became a great game. idolize the stars, know Speaker as their pal a good fellow and cheery friend.

Sugar Must Be Saved HeIps to Make Up the Shortage
 Among the Al6es

If any man has failed to see the reason why he should cut his plepti- full apportionment of two spoonfuls of sugar to the one of war time. he can find it in a recent publication of the United States department of agricul- ture explaining the worldwide short age-especlally the shortage among the allies-in the supply of sweets.
 Not only has the supply of sugar in some parts of the United States been short, but there has been an actual shortage of more than 2.OO0.- GOO tons annually in the world since the war began. and the shortage is likely 10 continue. the publication says, primarily because of the destruction of q large number of sugar mills and the devastation of a considerable area of sugar-producing lands in Europe.
 Prior to the war practically all the belligerent countries. with the excep- tiOn of the United Kingdom and Italy. exported sugar. the total amount being upward of 3Oo0.000 tons. War, how ever. has changed the sugar-produc- Ai'i map tl4t S-AbEt lllA4t Alas shifted the channels of trade. In 1918 it is estimated that the allies must import minimum of 100000 tons of sugar.
 Formerly the United Kingdom and France depended to q considerable ex- tent upon Germany, Austria Hungary. Belgium and Russia for sugar. These sources were shut of by the war. The United Kingdom alone thus lost the source of more than half of her normal supply of sugar and has turned to new us we'll as other old sources for her supply. The changes thus brought about have been largely a 10 the United Kingdom instead of to India. and an expansion of the imports Of unrefined sugar from Cuba. the Philippines and Peru. For refined sugar she drew upon the United States and Java. However. the allies cannot turn to such exporting countries as Java and Mauritius without being forced 10 go to a much longer distance and over a more perilous route than across the Atlantic. If the allies are compelled to go to these countries 1t will require an extru amount of ship ping which is needed for transporta- tion of American soldiers and supplies to France and England.
 Russia's experts practically ceased in 1914. and she is now reported as some~hat short of sugar. Italy's crop decreased last year and her imports have increased largely since the war began. Italy's consumption, how ever. is small and her deficit is not serious.

 When the berries first arrive from the South they are too expensive for general use. but a few for a garnish to buildings or ices will satisfy the ap- petite for the delicious fruit. One does not wish to lose the joy of the home grown berries by induiging too freely in the early ones. It Is more econom- ical. saves shipping expense. and Is all round more loyal In war time to eat of our own products.

Let's Have . Picnic.

These people who think of the dis comforts and inconvsniences of a pie nic which so overba1ance the pleasure of getting out into the glorious woods. are better left at home for they do not make cheerful companions. Pick your picnic lovers so your joy may be un- alloyed.
 Careful planning Is necessary to eliminate unnecessary weight unless there be plenty of cOnveyances to share the burden. The fewer washable dish- charge. as important. Plates. cups. and napkins of paper may be obtained at small cost and they may be burned before leaving. as every true picnicker will see that he leaves no rubbish to annoy the next group who follows his party.
 When a fire Is to be built, which is half the fun of a picnic. a piece of sheet iron which may be used on forr stones for a support, will make a fine stove. with the fire underneath.
 Potatoes may be roasted. sweet corn and onions. if desired. all in the ashes. Do not peel the onions or husk the corn when roasting.
 The salad and salad dressing may be carried in fruit jars. Stuffed eggs. wrapped in squares of tissue paper fringed on two ends. twisted to look like hon5cns, arc attractive.
 Ferns and wild flowers are to be found fo mako pIea sinv cepferpieco
 Lemonade. all sweetened ready to add the water may also be carried in 2 Mason jar.
 If there is no place to build fire. a few thermos bottles will! carry the coffee. They are also useful to carry cold drinks.
 Sandwiches. of course. will be pro- vided In quantity, for the appetite is very elastic when out in the open.
 Fresh fruits of various kinds In sea- son. with small cakes, make a dessert which is very satisfactory.
 A dessert which is not hard to pro- vide and which is very delicious Is this: Provide sufficient sponge cakes and carry q jar of whipped cream sweetened and favored. Cut open the cakes, scoop out the centers and fill with the cream. There are never any left. In strawberry season a few mash ed berries added to the cream is a pleasant change.
 The outing has lost it's main object if any have been overburdened iu it's preparations.

Spent Yeast From BreWeries
 Made Into Useful Articles

The spent yeast which collects in breweries and distilieries is put through process which turns it out in the form of buttons, doorbell plates and knife handles. according to the Popular Science Monthly. Formerly this leftover material was consid- cred to be a bothersome waste; now it is utilized. every bit of it. As 1t is gathered from the vats the yeast is of a dirty. gray-brown color. The first operation is to dye it. and then to work 1t over until it assumes the form of powder and can be hot pressed into any form. In this stage it is called "ernolith." It may be sawed, scraped. filed, drilled, en- graved, turned to an edge and pol ished.

SHEEP AS BENEFACT0Rs

X hundred times you have mo- ticed and been annoyed by the man, horse and little moving ma chine going about clipping the grass on the golf course.
 Sometimes you have noticed another fellow, or group of fel- lows, going over the course, bending. prodding in the grass with little trowel-like tools.
 Annoying? Yes; but. in the ordinary course of things, nec- essary. The grass has to be kept short and smooth for your com fort and convenience. And the ugly weeds have to be rooted out. Still all of that work has to be paid for out of the dues of the members.
 And, after all, the whole busl- ness-annoyance and expense might be avoided. A flock of sheep would keep the grass clip ped as closely and as neatly as the mower does-and the sheep would eradicate the weeds much more certainly than the prOddlng fellows possibly can.
 Besides, they would convert the grass and weeds Into meat and wool to help the nation through an emergency in which 1t badly needs both meat and wool

Potatoes Go Well With Meat.

Meat and potatoes are a good food combination, and may be a better diet than bread and meat, according to the United States department of agricu1- lure. At this time when a plentiful supply of potatoes makes them cheap. and when wheat and flour should be saved. we should use potatoes instead of wheat. Potatoes at a dollar a busheI are as cheap as bread at ten cents for a pound loaf. even when the cost of cooking Is added

The keeping of a reasonable number of sheep on the average farm does not necessitate the keeping of fewer dairy COWS or other grazing stock. This fact was determined by the United States department of agriculture in its recent investigation of sheep raising pOssi- bilities In New England. It was found that farms where sheep are kept suc- cessfully have practically the same number and kinds of other live stock as other farms of like area where no sheep are kept, and that the acreage in crops on the two classes of farms is substantially the same. The infer ence Is that the farmer who keeps no sheep is simply throwing away enough pasturage that COWS and other live stock do not utilize to net him a neat profit.
