Iron Is Essential.

What is the particular use of suci
foods 10 our bodies? All green leaves
contain in combination with the greet
coloring matter more or less iron. II
we are to have rich, red blood we
must furnish this iron to our bodies.
Dandelion green's are n of the very
good sources of iron, containinC more
than many other sorts of greer leaves.
If we serve greens with h~ard-boiled
egg for garnish, we have n dish very
rich in iron, for the egg yolk con-
tributes its share.
Besides the iron and other mineral
salts, the leaf vegetables contain a
very important substance which the
body must have for normal growth and
development. This substance, recently
discovered and for which a name has
not yet been given, is also found in
butterfat and some other animal fats,
but not in every food.
Greens have a place of real worth
in the diet and should be used in every
household not only in springtime but
late into the summer and, when pro-
durable, in the winter also. The
tender beet tops, celery tops, radish
tops, onion tops, and turnip tops
should not be discarded, but served as
greens. A little space in the garden
devoted to spinach, New Zealand spin
ach, or French chard will supply the
family with summer greens and also
should afford some material for can
ming for use during the winter months.
Lettuce leaves, which are some
times cooked for green's, and spinach,
both being mild favored and contain
ing much water, require no water for
cooking in addition to that which clings
to the leaves from washing. Other
stronger-iavored greens are usually
cooked In a small amount Of water.
| Greens should be cooked until tender,
but not overlooked. A tiny bit OF
baking soda added to the water they
are cooked In will help the green's to
retain their color.
In the country where meat is cured
at home, 1t used to be the custom to
keep the jowl Of the hog for the espe-
cial purpose of cooking 1t with greens
in the spring. II the jowl is not at hand
a small piece Of salt pork or the rind
from smoked bacon gives richness and
flavor when cooked with greens.
Children should be encouraged tC
eat greens, as they especially need the
iron and the growth-promoting sub
stance which greens furnish. Some
times they object to the slightly bitter
taste which some green's have, but Il
made into milk soups, the flavor II
diluted so that 1t is not noticeable

JACKLING HAS BIG JOB

When the government decided that
$90,000,000 should be expended for the
erection of explosives plants 1t felt it
showed 1t should be shown where and
how the money was spent. So 1t called
for Daniel Cowan %Jackling and he re-
sponded from the Pacific coast.
Raised in Missouri, Dan Jackling
is the very essence of the 'show-me'
spirit, and when asked by the war de-
Partment to take charge of the build
ing of these plants he consented.
He was born in Appleton county.
Missouri, in 1869, where he spent his
early school days. He took up the study
Of metallurgical engineering at the
Missouri School of Mines. In 1892 he
took a postgraduate course and be-
cause Of his thorough knowledge of
the subject was made assistant profess
sor of chemistry and metallurgy.
His first big accomplishment was
in 1897, when he was appointed super
intendent in charge of the construction
work of the immense metallurgical pl
mines in Utah. For three years he

USE A LITTLE VINEGAR
IN CLEANING GREENS

All green's must be picked
over carefully and carefully
washed. This is sometimes a
long process. for a large guam
tity is required TO make a dish
Of the cooked greens. 1t takes
about a half bushel Of spinach
to make a little more than a
pint when cooked. A half cup
full of vinegar in the water In
which the green's are allowed to
stand before washing is Of adj
vantage as 1t kills the small in-
sects that are sometimes hard
to distinguish from the leaves
themselves.

SHERLEY FOR BUDGET SYSTEM


Is there need now, as In the days

Swagar Sherley Of Kentucky says yes.
He is the chairman Of the house COM

said the other day in the course of an

should be a wide distinction between
the spending policy of the nation in
time of peace and its policy in time Of
war. Under normal conditions we
should consider every expenditure with
reference to whether it is worth the
burden it puts upon the people. In
timeNof war there is only one side to
that vital question. In time of war we,
