Thrift Director Urges Bond
holders to Avert With
drawal of $160, 900, 1000
New Way to Hit K aiser
Great Drive Planned for Sale

To-day

The first dividends on Liberty bonds
OF the second issue are due to-day.
Frederic W. Allen, director of War Saw
ings for Greater New York, yesterday
made final appeal to holders of these
bonds to convert their coupons into
war savings stamps.
"A great many people, reads Mr..
Aliens appeal, twill receive tomorrow
wednesday, the proceeds OF their
coupons on Liberty Loan As. If the
money had been in the savings bank
the interest would automatically have
been credited and begin itself to draw
interest. AS they will receive cash, it
may not occur to them that they can
relnvest this money in war savings
stamps and so keep the money at in
terest.
"Secretary McAdoo stated recently
that the government would be required
to pay out $160,000,0OO tomorrow to
owners of bonds if all the Liberty Loan
coupons were presented for payment.
refrain from taking Any part of this
enormous sum from the Federal Treas
ury during the present crisis.
by investing coupon money in war
savings stamps you will be helping the
government by lending it more of your
money and at the same time help your
self by putting away your money at a
per cent compound interest"
Mr.. Allen has also requested all
banks in this district to include with
statements which they send to clients
concerning bond coupons notice call
ing attention to this new method of
helping the government.
To-day will be thrift ticket day

make efforts to sell at least 10000 tick
cts for the great open-air festival
Ticket sellers will do business in sub

canvass surface cars and elevated
trains, and the pasteboard coupons will
be on sale at thrift boots at all the
principal centres in Manhattan, Brook

Bennett Once Planned
To Leoue "The Herald''
To His EMPLOYEES

Whether full ownership and control
Of "The New York Herald" will pass
into the hands of group of employees
of the paper as James Gordon Bennett
once planned and editorially announced,
is question that cannot be answered
until the opening of the "Commo dore' S"
will.
It was before he married the Bar
oness de Reuter- that Mr.. Bennett con-
ceiycd the notion Of making his chief
newspaper community property at his
death. But following his marriage he
made hasty trip to America and spent
most Of his eight-day visit with his
lawyer, presumably redrafting his will.
The young Baron de Reuter- had been
a prime favorite with his stepfather,
and unquestionably generous pro-
vision was made for him as we'll as for
his mother. No great share of the es-
tate, however, is likely to go TO Mrs.
Isaac Bell, Mr.. Bennett's sister. or to
Gordon Knox Bell, the publishers
nephew. From both he had been long
estranged
Executors under tie new will are
George Pollock, Isaac Townsend and
Robert Gambler.
The valuable block which the Herald
Building covers is not Bennett prop
erty. With the expiration of the
ground lease three years hence it will
revert to the Manice estate.
One of the most important considera-
tions which occupied Mr.. Bennett on
his last visit to New York was the
problem of finding a new home for
THE Herald" Negotiations were begun
looking to the erection of another
Herald" building on Pennsylvania
Railroad property in Thirty fourth
Street. The plan was ultimately given
up, and suits in connection with it are
now pending

French Adopt Meat Cards

PARIS, May 14.-The application Of
the meat card system for the first time
to-day caused confusion in certain
quarters, but on the whole the sys-
tenn was generally successful, the pub

the retrenchment with cheerful resig-
nation in the interest of national de-

Well. the next morning he
said good-By and went upon his

he came to a town called Queer
willie. 1t was in New Mother Goose
Land. and as 1t was now almost
evening an old woman was going
up on a rocket. Perhaps she meant
to light the stars! Well. just then a
farmer came along and said TO
Puss:
Come with me. for IL is getting
near supper time. You are a trav-
eler, see. My good wife and
will be glad to have you spend the
night with us" So our little hero
accepted the invitation. and after
supper he went out for a walk with
the farmer, and when they came TO
the village. Puss saw something
very. very strange. He was curious
about IL. so the farmer said:
There is a man in our town
And he is Wondrous bright.
They use him for a lamppost
To light the streets at night
"'Tis very strange when he IL out

So very, very different from
The usual kind OF light"
"Wen. I should say So" excIaim-
ed Puss, and then he began 10
laugh. for it certainly was funny to
see that man standing on the street
corner shining away just like a big
electric light in front of a moving
picture show.
e! once knew a queer man: he
lived in BrambIe Bush Town." said
Puss Junior.
'Oh. you mean the fellow who
scratched out both his eyes and
then scratched them in again?' sad
the farmer.
Yes. he jumped into a bramblc

Then suddenly up IN the sky,
they saw the Old Woman on her

POTATO FLOUR IS
BETTER THAN WHEAT
Is More DIgeStIbIe and Keeps
Human System In Finer
Condition

The shortage of wheat which has
resulted in the use Of so many sub
sututes is causing no privation to
Americans. In the opinion of the
Food Administration the better ac
Quaintance with other foods is going
to be a lasting benefit.
The potato, for instance, is food
that has been slow to gain here the
recognition it deserves, yet it has val
liable qualities that are lacking In
some Of our most popular articles of
diet. The best way to get at the real
value is to see what is left when the
water is taken out. A potato of good
keeping quality contains about 2l per
cent of dry matter, real food. Most
of this is retained in potato -four
which consumers are now using in in
creasing quantities. This flour gives
us the right basis on which to COM
pare the potato with wheat.
DR.. LeClerO, of the Bureau of Chem
istry, Department of Agriculture, says
that natural potato flour is worth s
cents a pound when wheat -four is
worth 8 cents. Most of the food in
this flour is a highly digestible form
Of starch, but the superiority to other
-four is due to the high percentage Of
alkaline salts which help to keep the
blood alkaline and neutralize the
acids of meat.
Potatoes baked or boiled sin the
jackets" contain within their germ
proof coverings all the food value that
Is found In the -four; hut cooked in
any form, from the old standby "mash-
ed" to the fanclest inventions of
French chef, they are better body
builders than most Of us have ever
imagined.

Penalties inflicted On Those Who
Broke Food Rules.
More than 800 penalties for viola
tion of rules and regulations govern
ing licensed dealers IN foodstuffs have
been imposed during the past ten
months by the Food Administration.
About $50 companies and individuals
have been ordered to quit business in
licensed commodities for a limited or
unlimited period, and over 500 have
voluntarily made a money payment,
usually to the Red Cross, or have tenn
pOrarily abstained from doing bust
ness, rather than risk calling down
more drastic penalties upon their
heads.
John Sattler, a wealthy farmer Of
German birth who lived near Emporia,
Kansas, was recently taken to Topeka
for internment, after dlsloyal utter
ances in the presence of the food ad-
ministrator of his county, when the
latter protested against the feeding Of
wheat to his pigs and chickens instead
of conserving It for our army and Al
lies.
Sale Of wheat flour branded as bar
ley -four, sale Of wheat -four without
substitutes, sale Of more than thirty
days supply, sale Of feed at excessive
prices and failure to make reports to
the Food Administration, have led to
the revocation Of the license held by
the Elko Milling Company, iobbers,
wholesalers and retailers Of wheat
-four, rye, etc, at Elko, Nevada.

HOW EVERY ONE MAY
HELP WIN THE WAR
Wheat.

HhsaAa
Very urgent that every one who
can possibly do so, go without
wheat entirely until the next har-
vest. Use substitutes available in
your locality.
Meat.
Strict conservation of meat is
urged once more. Eat beans,
cheese, fish, milk, nuts instead.
Make a little meat go a long way.
Dairy Products.
Consumption of all dairy prod
ucts is to be encouraged. Use all
you need. Don't let any go to
waste. See that the children get
plenty of whole milk MIX is good
for adults, too. 1t can take the
place Of meat. Those who can af-
ord it may well use butter and
cream.
Potatoes
Particularly urged that everybody
eat the old potatoes until they are
all gone. Two reasons for this.
First, they win spoil unless they
are eaten at once. Second, they
will save the wheat. Eat them
three times a day instead Of bread.
Cottage Cheese.
It is strongly urged that all skim
milk be made into cottage cheese
in the home, and used instead Of
meat. Try the new cottage cheese
recipes.
