Uncle Sans Working Force
Has Necessarily Increased
To Achieve Country's Aims

For every five helpers Uncle Sam
had in 1916, he had ten and a fraction
in 1917.
This additional force was needed to-
achieve the governments war aims.
Workers will win the war. 1t is the
business of the civil service commits
sion to sort these for Uncle Sam, APP
pointing to government Jobs those
which best answer his requirements.
7 To increase the governments force,
the commission was forced 10 increase
its own. In reporting the busiest year
in its history, it speaks of having had
to use $250,000 of the presidents spe-
cial emergency fund for national
safety, in its man and woman hunt.
Enough remains to tide it over till an
appropriation can be made.
One interesting thing found in the
report is that number of applicants
and appointees for various positions
found Uncle Sans pay too meager to
accept his positions when the appoint
ments were offered.
Five hundred appointments were
made without examinations in emer-
gency cases, for the first time in the
history of the commission.
A retirement-with-pe system
was recommended at the foot of the
commissions war story

Make Peanut Butter at
Home by Grinding Nuts
Through a Food Chopper

Delicious peanut butter-a highly
nutritious food-may be made at home
by grinding the roasted nuts in food
chopper, according to Miss Flora Mon
roe, director Of the cafeteria in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
The housewife may vary her uses of
this food from the customary use In
sandwiches. Puddings, soups, breads,
and cakes are enriched by the use OF
peanut butter. 1t serves both as short
ening and thickening and adds flavor
and color.
The true worth of peanut butter has
never been realized, believes Miss Mon
roe. 1t has been generally considered
a difficult food to digest, and conse-
quently has been avoided in the diets.
When properly masticated it is easily
digested.
A prejudice against peanut butter
is often caused by ignorance in its use.
The butter should be combined with
twice the amount of thin cream or
milk, and stirred until it is of the
creamy consistency of mayonnaise.
The flavor can be varied by adding
chopped pickles or olives, catsup, onion
Juice, cheese or fruits.
Dates stuffed with peanut butter are
appetizing. Wnole-wheat mullins, drop
cakes, and salads are few of the
numerous ways in which this food may
be used. 1t adds delicious flavor to

Mothers Cook Book

The Child's Lunch Basket.


The filling of lunch basket for
small child is not an easy task if it is
a daily one. For the growing child we
must not only see that they have food
for the daily needs of heat and energy
but for the growth of the frame and
muscle. The average child is fond Of
peanut butter and luncheon which
may be used only in an emergency but
which is highly nutritious may help
out in time of stress; this is the COL
lege sandwich, two cakes of sweet
chocolate put together with peanut
butter. This with an apple or a glass
of milk will afford a good meal. Baked
apple with cream, plain bread and but
ter or bread and butter with a filling
of lettuce leaf dipped in French
dressing or other salad dressing with
a cupful of cocoa or hot milk is an
other good combination.
The childS love for sweets should be
satisfied as often as possible with a
date or fig or little fresh fruit rather
than rich cake or candy.
Cottage cheese is another wholesome
food, and whep it is mixed with cream
and well seasoned it is sufficiently sus-
tanning to take the place of meat. Two
slices or more of barley or steamed
brown bread served with the cottage
cheese with banana or an apple will
be good lunch. The cheese, if rich
with cream, may be carried in a small
paper cup. These paper cups are use
full for carrying custards of various
flavors or jams and jefiies to supply
the sweet that a child enjoys for des-
sert.
Chopped cooked egg, well seasoned
and spread on buttered bread is q sus-
tanning sandwich. A small cupful of
rice pudding or tapioca or sage pud-
ding will add variety to the luncheon.
The best of cakes for little people
are sponge cakes, as they are never
too rich for them to digest.
With the sugar saving which we are
asked to make, frosted cakes and
fancy filed cakes are not at all COM
mon, save on state occasions when q
birthday is to be celebrated.

Sixty-Eight Degrees Is
Temperature Recommended
In Heating of Our Homes

Up to now, Americans. have been as
wasteful of coal as of other resources,
largely because coal has been abund-
ant. 1t will besabundant no longer I'M
till this war is over, says Thomas *.
Shipp, in the Worlds Work. 1t Is
clearly up to the domestic consumer
to give time and thought TO the conser-
vation of COAL Statistics are usually
hard reading, but some or the statlsu-
cal proof offered by the fuel admins
tration makes one think that perhaps,
after all, Mrs. Darlington might have
swept back the sea if she had only
persevered.
Here are some Of the statistical epi-
grams:
If every housekeeper in the country
would save one small shovelful of coal
each day at the end of year the saw
ing would amount to 100000 tons.
If every housekeeper during the six
winter months would save one furnace
shovelful of coal a day, it would
amount to 25,OO0,000 tons of coal.
These savings combined would
amount to 100000 tons, which would
almost wipe out the national shortage
of 100000 tons.
The fuel administration offers prac-
teal instructions for the economical
use of coal in stoves and furnaces.
Oil stoves and fireless cookers are
recommended as coal savers.
There you have the practical side Of
coal conservation during the war. But
with that sort of economy the fuel ad-
ministration has linked up the conser-
walton of health. 1t has long been a
source Of reproach, on the part of WIS.,
itors to us from other shores that we
have always overheated our homes.
The advice of prominent physicians
and surgeons has been asked, and the
consensus of this opinion is that we
should all be healthier harder, and
more comfortable if our houses were
kept at temperature Of SO degrees
Fahrenheit.

ARE YOU LOVING ENOUGH?

Are you loving enough? There is some
one dear,
Some one you hold as the dearest Of
all
In the hottest shrine of your heart
Are you making it known? Is the truth
of it clear
To the one you love? If deaths quick
call
Should suddenly tear you apart,
Leaving no time for long farewell,
Would you feel that you had nothing to
tell
Nothing you wished you had said be-
fore
The closing of that dark door?
Are you loving enough? The swift
years fly
Oh, faster and faster they hurry away,
And each one carries it's dead.
The good deed left for the by and by,
The word to be uttered another day,
Nav never be done or said
Let the love-word sound in the listening
ear,
Nor wait 10 speak it above a bier.
Oh, the time for telling your love is
brief
But long, long, long is the time for
grief.
Are you loving enough?s..

Cheap Liquid Sugar

The sugar shortage has encouraged
Louisiana planters TO broaden the use
of pure cane strip, which is made from
cane Juice, without taking out any OF
its sugar. This juice is boiled to
point just below that required TO crys-
talize II into sugar, and can be used
not only for gpsddle' cakes and candy
making. but it is recommended by the
planters as a sweetening for coffee and
tea. 1t is practically sugar in liquid
form. and on a basis OF eight cents
pound retail for graduated sugar will
WELD economies of 40 TO so per cent.
at a price of four and one-half to five
cents a pound for strip.

Burton e. Stevenson, the author,
who Is camp librarian at Camp Sher-
man, o., says that the first three re-
for book on the valuation of pubic
utilities; second, for a book on con-
servatiOn of national resources, and,
third, for a ROumanian dictionary. He
supplied the first two and later fur
nished the Roumanian dictionary.
A young soldier walked into Mr..
Stevensons Office and asked for booa
on motors. Mr.. Stevenson found one
which looked highly technical. The
young soldiers turned over the leaves
and handed it back.
"Shucks," he said, 81 drew the pic
lures for this book. / want something
more advanced"
Mr. Stevenson promptly sent for
more advanced book.
Public Libraries Help.
A system of borrowing books from
public libraries all over the country
has proven a great aid to the camp
librarians and they have been making
the most of this privilege. All the IL
braries are doing their bit toward max
ing the leisure hours Of the soldiers
happy by lending the camps what they
need.
The camp librarians have found out
that an extremely high percentage Of
the soldiers want to study. Most of
them are ambitious to rise and are TAX
ing advantage of the opportunities of
fered them by the American Library
association to read serious books. Be-
ture the association has determined
to spend most of the money it has for
serious books and to look to the public
20 donate fiction and light literature.
In the near future it will launch an in
tensive campaign for gift books. Judg-
ing from the freedom with which the
public has given books so far the assO-
citation has no miSgivings as to the
outcome of its campaign.
The reason the campaign has not
Doon mdue DClOTo Is tHdL the dSSOCld-
ton wanted to perfect its organization
and arrange for the prompt handling
of the great flood of books it is ex-
pecting. So far the standard of books
donated has been high. Few persons
have shown an inclination to rid their
library shelves of useless volumes at
the expense of the soldiers and sailors
On the contrary, the best books have
been given. Occasionally undesirable
books are sent it, but they are prompt
ly thrown away by the librarian. In
fact, those who might be inclined to
send such books may as well save the
energy it would take to dispatch them.
They will never reach the soldiers.
Before its camp library buildings
were completed tie association dis
tributed its books through the chap
lains of the Y. nj. G. A, the Knights of
Columbus, the Red Cross and other
organizations, which gladly volun-
teered to handle them. These organi-
cations are still assisting in camp dis
tribution by receiving books at their
stations. The A. L. A. has established

The Nile oyster has some interest

from the ordinary snail in that it has
its spiral wound in the reverse direc-
ton. 1t remains to be seen whether
this oyster is of an edible nature.
