Among the older foreign-born resi-
dents Of our cities we are finding
more evidence Of patriotism and 10y
atty. Mrs. Margaret Johannes of
Kenosha, is one Of these. She lived
to see four generations grow up
around her. Born in Germany May 8,
1884, she came to America when y
and to Kenosha when 80 She is now
"a, energetic and as full of enthusi-
asm as her grandchildren. She has
AZ grandchildren scattered through
out the United States and Canada She
takes pride in speaking of her three
soldier grandsons. One is already on

John Peters. an Indian from the
Menominee tribe on the reservation
at Keshena, died in France from
wounds received on the firing line.
He is the first Indian from the Me-
nominee tribe to die for Uncle Sam
in the present war. He is survived by
his mother, Mrs. Frank WaubanO, who
lives on the reservation. Mr.. Peters,
81, enlisted in the western part Of the
state in the engineering corps at the
outbreak Of the war and was one of
the first Americans to go to France.
He was not subject to selective ser
vice, being under age and a register
ed Indian. More than twenty other
Indians from this reservation have
since the war began according to
Mr.. Marble, assistant superintendent
of the reservation. Another John
Peters also a Menominee Indian, is
now serving i'll the navy.

YANKEES MUSS UP
THE KAISER'S PLAN
YOUTHFUL SOLDIERS HOLD OWN
AGAINST THE PRUSSIAN AND
BAvARIAN SHOCK TROOPS.
Push Their Lines Forward Through
Deadly Bsrrage, and When 1t Comes
to Bayonot Work, Huns Acknowl-
edge Their Inferiority.

Through barrage as dead
~ as any the Germans have laid down
on any sector for months, the Ameri
cnD soldiers, comprising men from the
middle west and eastern states, pushed
their line forward little more on
Tuesday.
The American withstood two heavy
attacks during the night, and at day
| light began their operations, which
left them at night well north of Sergy
on the long slopes approaching the
heavy woods beyond Neses, little
town directly east of Serlnges-et-
Nesles. whose retention the Germans
bitterly opposed.
II should be a source of the greatest
pride to America that her youthful sol
diers were able to hold their own
against the kaiser's best shock troops,
which are the Prussian and Bavarian
guards.
AT Sergy IL was the American diyi-
sions that met the Fourth Prussian
guard division. The result speaks for
Itself. As told In these dispatches,
part Of the German plan was to stand
ut the north bank of the Ourcq and
hold the Americans while the with
drawal behind the lines was made
more easily. The charge of the Am
orleans across the river In which they
took Seringes and Sergy and estab-
lished themselves, broke up this part
of the German plan. Early Tuesday
the Americans In Sergy were
attacked by the Fourth Prusslan divi- |
sion, which arrived only a few. hours |
before the training areas In Lorraine. |
Overwhelmed by vastly superior |
the Americans had to with |
draw before the terrific artillery and |
gun fire. But when the Prus-
Sims got into the town the Germany
artillery could no longer shoot into II.
That gave the chance for man to
nan hand-to-hand fight, and the Amer
cans grasped the opportunity. They
'ushed into the village against with.
ring fire of the machine guns, placed
In every building.
When the charge was at its height
rom building bearing Red Cross
i've machine guns spoke with telling
fleet. But soon the Americans got
land-to-hand with the Prussians. In
for the deadly machine gun
work, our men got their hayonets into
Iction, and no German was yet known

rfcan behind IT, In half an hour they

PROTECTIVE FOODS
PART IL

With plenty OF dainty products &c
draw from our diet can be made prac-
tically perfect from nutrition view
point. These vital foods may be alter
mated with or added TO the leafy vege-
table courses In any given meal.
Professor y. V. McCollum, the great
nutrition expert, places the group OF
dairy foods, milk, butter, and egg yolk
first among protective foods.
We must all help In this Save the
Herd" movement by using plenty OF
milk, fresh and eyaporated, and plenty
OF the very best butter when our
Kitchen pocketbook affords IT,
There are great quantities Of animal
fats, however, that come through the
ordinary channel Of supplying beef TO
the army and the limited supply for
those who only stand and wait"
The beef fats are pressed and give
US oleo oil which is the basic OF high
grade oleOmargarine. Those who for
economy reasons use oleomargarine,
which Is much preferable to cheap. un-
standardized butter, will be glad to
know that experiments have proved
this oleo oil to belong in the group Of
protective foods. The deduction Of the
expert is that because the steers feed
so heartily on leafy foods the beef fat
is rich In the growth elements.
II is not generally known by all
housewives that milk Is one Of the
cheapest foods we can buy even at an
increased cost A recent bulletin pre-
pared by Flora Rose and Lucille Brewer
states that "the animal food which
takes the least grain to produce a given
amount Of nourishment is milk"
In using milk, therefore, we are saw
ing grain and buying for ourselves the
cheapest form OF animal food.
We are saving food for our soldiers
