next day we will forget and so our old

But when We face the facts squarely
then there is not an American omar

mination ito do or die" that is send
ing thousands of our boys today brave
ly into the trenches in France.
And once we have steeled our wills
for the fight, the rest is easy! Such
are the wonderful resources of his
country. that for every kind of food
We are asked TO save there are two or
more other foods that We can substi-
stute with no loss of nourishment or
palatability.
Thus We have already found that
corn. oatmeal, rye and barley can be
substitute for a great part of the wheta
and for our meat, animal fats, and
sugar there are other appetizing and
nourishing substitutes that can be
used in part for them.
Substitutes for sugar include rails

sorghum and molasses; for red meats,
fish. poultry, game, beans, nuts; for
animal fats, the various vegetable oils.

MEATlESS DAY RECEIPTS

We may yet speak of meat as a sub
stltute for cheese. nuts and fish. But
now the United States Food Admins
tration gently but firmly introduces us
to these foods which are only waiting
for a chance to be our friends.
Cheese Omelet-l heaping table
! teaspoon pepper or paprika. 2 table
spoons grated cheese. IS teaspoon
mustard. l cup hot milk. IL table
spoons olive oil or other cooking oil. 2
eggs.
Cook minute tapioca, salt, pepper,
cheese and mustard in the hot milk for
10 minutes, stirring frequently, then
add p tablespoon of the oil and the
yolaes of the eggs beaten until very
light. Stir we'll, remove from the
fire and fold into the stify beaten
whites of the eggs. Put the remainder
of the oil into al omelet pan and when
it bubbles pour in the prepared eggs.
Gently shake the pan so the omelet will
not adhere TO il and cook until ii is a
delicate brown on the bottom. then
stand the pan in the over for a few
moments to cook the top. Lightly

8. Close up your extra rooms; live in
smaller space. 1t will surprise you to
find how readily you will accommodate
yourself to the change and how much
coal you will save as well.
4. Watch the thermometer closely.
and DO not heat your rooms above 6S.
This Is Just as comfortable as a higher
temperature, and if used to it the out
side air will seem much less severe TO
you.
5. Keep the house moist by using
pans OF water on the radiators.
6. Watch the lights closely, do not
burn them unnecessarily.
The traditional occupation of the
American people, that of providing for
their material comfort. has been re
versed in a night. We ought now to
be regardless of our personal interests,
and mindful only of the staggering fact
that some 500, 100000 men have been
taken from production and are directly
engaged in the most prodigal destruc-
ton OF the earth's material resources
known TO history. Tho entrance Of the
United States into this great contest
has fortunately been conditioned upon
terms which will add immensely to the
moral possessions of the world, if we
have the un~selfshness and the grit to
hold on until the end from which we
started has been secured.
Under these conditions is ii not a
little thing to reduce our consumption
to the lowest point? Can we again
look in the faces Of the brave boys who
have gone forward if we fail to do our
part Would we deserve to retain the
BLESSINGS of a democratic government
unless We enthusiastically entered into
the spirit of economy?
Let US show the President that we
stand behind him to the last man, and
crafty the leaders in Washington who
are doing all they can TO help US win
this war, by cutting our consumption
of coal to the lowest possible limits.
1t is the part of a wise man to do
voluntarily and cheerfully that which
he may otherwise eventually be com
PEELED to do. w. G.. Bickclhaupt.

FACING n FACTS

We can work for a time on Il emo
tions, but il is only when We are will
ing 10 face the facts in the cast that
we can really shoulder the burden at
hand and carry it to the finish.
Now the facts in the feeding of the
army We plan to send to France are
these. This army would eat 13,350,0 600
pounds of beef per month, $4,000
pounds of bacon, 1~,375,000 cans Of
fresh roast beef. hashed corned beef,
and salmon. l~3,350.000 pounds Of flour,
and 1000 600 pounds of sugar a month.
If we are going to keep our soldiers
we are sending over there in good
health, We must somehow manage TO
send them this much food a month.
In addition to this, because our
fields have not yet been ravaged by
war. and because, too, We are able to
keep a fair proportion of men on our
farms. the Allies look to US to- provide
a great part of their food supply, This
means that millions more tons Of food
must be drained out of Il resources,
if this war is going to bring victory to
us instead Of to Germany.
