WAR ART

Artists now have a comeback" to
the charge preferred against them
since the beginning of art that they
are of no practical value in the world.
They have become auxiliary teachers
Of strategy-that most utilitarian of
employments at the present time
1t has been found that the painted
landscape is Of inestimaDle value in
teaching the soldier to use his powers
of observation and that it brings out
the salient features of topography bet
ter than the Autographs formerly
used.
Consequently artists in all the war
ring nations, notably members Of The
Salmagundi Club of New York in this
country, have turned their hand to
producing strategy charts" The
pictures will also be used in subtarget
practice by the machine gunner, and
in the latter case it may be seen that
the lasting power of the picture is
not their particular claim to greatness
However, some of the productions
that serve the peaceful end of simple
observation please the soldiers eye
to such a degree that requests have
come to authorities that they be placed
in the mess halls after their period
OF active usefulness is over.

BE TOLERANT

The measure of Christian develop
ment is federation. The records oi
all religions show in their infancy
persecution and intolerance. 1t is only
when man rises in the stages of his
spiritual development that he views
with an unbiased mind the acts Of his
fellOwmen.
A time of stress proves the quality
of a mans soul. Such time our ma
ton is now passing. Never have we
so needed broadness of mind and cool
ness in deliberation and decision. 1t
is only the brave who will dare to
stand 'in the right with two or three"
when the emotional majority urge to
hot-headed denunciation and persecu-
tion. Mob action is wrong. To be
tolerant, calm in the face of emotional
frenzy, charitable to the erring, moved
by reason rather than emotion, marks
a great mind, great soul.
The Quaker's attitude, "EverybQdy's
queer but thee and me, and sometimes
l think thee's little queer" is what
Plato styles the attitude of political
cripple" The fact that a mans
grandfather ate sauer-kraut is not
proof that he is pro-German; nor does
the fact that your neighbor has been
sprinkled while you have been i'm
mersed prove that he will be damned.

Eating Of Canned Goods Now Is Un.

patriotic, Food Administration Says
The use Of all fresh perishable food
products at this time of year is recon-
mended by the Missouri Division of the
United States Food Administration
Consumption of these shortlived foods
liberates the more concentrated staple
ones for people in the remote sections
and for the Allies and the soldiers on
the front.
ut is not patriotic as this particular
time to use canned goods when fresh
products are available" a statement
from the Food Administration says.
Immense stocks of canned goods
must be reserved for the American
soldiers and those of the Allies. Every
home may have an opportunity to Gre
ate this reserve stock if they will use
the fresh products instead of the
canned, even if little more work in
their preparation is required and by
putting up all carined goods they
need"

Food Hint for Today
The Last Line of Defense.

The British people standing in lone
queues outside butcher and grocery
shops, knowing that when they finally
reach the shop there may be nothing
left, nevertheless pluckily spend the
weary hours of waiting and joking
and singing conservation rhymes Here
is one of the favorites:
Each ounce that you take
Has a life at stake
And is helping to lose the war.
Think once and think twice
Ere you cut a new slice,
And show honor and pluck and good
sense.
Bread is blood, bread is guns,
Breads our fort 'gainst the huns
Don't destroy the last line of defense u
There it is in nutshell. The last
line Of defense,-BREAD.
The Germans may break through
our lines on the western front tempo
rarily. They may even sweep over all
of France in their mad, Unsuitable
thirst for the conquest of the world.
But until they have broken down our
bread line they have not conquered.
The day, however, when the Allies
and our soldiers call for more bread,
and that bread is not forthcoming, that
day Germany shall have won the war.
The keeping of lnis defense intact
is not in the hands of a great general,
nor can it be done by thousands of
picked troops. 1t must be done by
the ordinary people of the world-"just
folks" like you and me and our neigh
bors of the Allied countries.
Those "over there" have by far the
hardest part of this task, while we,
over here, are called on to make light
er sacrifice, can eat all the bread we
need, of non-wheat cereals of which
we have plenty. Our task is only to
give up wheat, and this is made easy
for us if we will learn to use some of
the many hundred wheatless breads
Of which the two following are favor
ties with those who have tried them:
Old Glory Bread.
l cup liquid
2 to 4 tablespoons fat
tablespoons syrup
2 eggs
6 teaspoons baking powder
l teaspoon salt
1 " cups corn flour
1 " cups ground rolled oats

question of adequate support must
be determined by the boards after
fair and impartial consideration

and of the government on the
iother and with the thought al
ways in mind that the present
classification scheme is designated
to raise our armies with a mimi
mum of hardship and suffering to
those who are to be left at home.
To clear up doubt existing ON
other points, Gen. Crowder gave
the following supplementary in
fstruetions;
'sFirst subdivision A, class four,
is the reSiduary class for regis
trants whose wives or children are
mainly dependent on them for
support, and this applies to a
wid0wer whose own children are
mainly dependent upon him for
support.
rSecond-lf a registrant has
both a wife and child but there
are such other sources Of support
available that the removal OF the
registrant viii not deprive the de-
pendents of reasonably adequate
support, he is TO be placed in sub
division A of class two.
"Third- IF a registrant has. a
wife but no children and there are
such other sources of support
available the removal Of the reg
istrant viii not deprive the wife
of reasonably adequate support !;
he goes into class one as not being
included in any other division Of
the schedule.

There appears to be consider
able misrepresentation as 10 the
rule to be followed By the county
draft board in the matter Of ag-
rieultnral exemptions. The local
board does not pass upon such
claims, but simply cites them to
the district board, which has the
authority of deciding.
Enlisted Men Must Answer.
When drafted men have en-
listed in the military service Of
the country, and the local draft
board has received no notification
of that fact, such a man is con-
sidered exactly as any other draft
man when he has failed to return
the QUESTIONABLE within the sew
cn-day period and must be posted
as a delinquent. The local draft
board has no option in such mat
tiers. The law is mandatory
