Our Own Food Hints
BY Roy K. MoULToN

There are various methods of pre-
pairing breakfast food substitutes
which will taste just like the originals
and will have about the same food
properties. One is to save all lead pen
ell sharpenings. They make an excel
lent substitute when baked in the oven
if cream and sugar are added Then
there is excelsior. Every one has a
packed around the new electric light
globes. When this is toasted and
cream and paralyzed sugar added it is
delicious and nourishing. The best
substitute. however. is made by run
ming the old straw hat thru the meat
grinder. Nearly every one has a few
straw hats around the house. One
gents straw hat will furnish enough
breakfast food for a family of twelve
and a lady's hat will feed three or four
families for week.
We are patiently waiting for Herb
to establish a marconiless day. When
this happens we will believe for the
first time that war has certain advan-
tages.
An Exception.

In this way thousands of aliens are
being educated who would otherwise
always remain hopelessly illiterate The
great pity is that many more schools
have not enlisted in this campaign
for Americanization. In several
states laws prohibit the expenditure of
public school funds for the education
of adults; in others there is a lack
of funds to expend; in still others
there is a lack of enthusiasm on the
part of the general public in the
education of aliens. and occasionally
the aliens themselves fail to appre-
ciate its benefits.
In one place, moreover, where the
public schools have steadily refused to
open night classes for adult aliens, in
spite of a large local alien population,
the Bureau of Naturalization discoy-
cred an interesting coincidence. An
attorney of local fame was adding to
his income with great celebrity by
drilling aliens on certain matters

quired by the naturalization court be-

From this it developed, adds the

AGED COUPLE GIVE
SAVINGS TO FRANCE

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Urban
Chandeur and his wife Louise. OF San
Francisco, aged ninety-six and ninety
five years, have furnished a remark
able example of patriotic idealism.
Born in France, 1t was in this country
they worked and saved together and
acquired a modest competence. They
had not much more than enough for
slender maintenance, but they found
they could buy with It an annuity from
the French hospital in San Francisco
which would support their remaining
days and still have left $1,000 of their
savings.
This sum they have turned oyer to
Consul General Julian Heltner for
use in war relief in their native
Franc. The consul general made
prompt report Of the gift, and now
the aged couple have in place of the
money a personal letter OF thanks
from General Pau.
Ever since France was overrun, at
the beginning OF the war, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chandeur had longed to be of
help to the country OF their birth.
Although they had many years ago
become American in spirit and in as
ISOLATION, the distress of the people
among whom they were born worked
deeply into their sympathies, and they
felt they owed 1t to France to spare
all they could for the helpless. This
desire was the subject of frequent
conferences between themselves and
with others until finally the solution
came. They will get on with less
than the small income they had be-
fore, but they regard their gift as a
privilege rather than a sacrifice, and
they are content and happy for hav-
