Much OF our weekly program Is
given to making the housewife alert
TO every opportunity for applying this
knowledge in her own kitchen. More
over, we show her how to conserve
food In this way and yet TO make IL
taste as good and to be as nourishing
as in the prodigal days before the
war"
In addition to training the house
wives who, by the way. are increas-
ing in attendance each day. the LAD
erty War Kitchen is also training
volunteer teachers who are willing TO
give their time later to demonstra''
ing the Kitchens principles. without
such teachers, obviously the work
mustf go on in a limited way; and
with large number of these teach
ers at the disposal of the Executive
Committee, the Kitchen can grow and
establish the many branches that 9th
err sections of the city and the country
are asking.
While this work of expansion Is an
ticipated, the committee has already

been tested and proved to be practical

frying and other cooking pans; and
she III ust not allow the butcher to cut
and throw away the suet from steak

and take ii home and render 1t into

The Kitchen teaches method OF

Importance of making relief provi-

is emphasized by R II. bowman.
Lumber Director of the Committee on
Raw Materials for the Council OF Ma

The men who compose the Forest

sacrifice in following the flag into the

"A large majority Of these men are
above the draft age. bat they have
answered their country's call. With
the Unprecedented demand for Ium-
Der at home there Is work at high
wages for all the men who are skilled
in any branch of forestry numbering

OF men who could stay at home at

men win build the things needed to

Their work is as important as thai

We're at Camp Lee.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Reese,
of Juniata, and Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
H on of Wells Tannery, left
the latter place last Sunday morn
ing shortly after midnight for
a trip to Camp Lee, Va, a dis
tance of $50 miles. They went
by way of McConnellsburg, and
Washington, reaching Peters
burg at 9 o'clock, Sunday even
ing. Ats o'clock Monday morn
ing, they went out to camp; but
as the brother of the ladies, Will
lam Denisar. was just going out
to rifle practice, they did not get
to speak with him until 8 o'clock
Monday afternoon-and then at
long range, for he was quaran-
tined (as they all are for a period
before leaving for France) and
they had to talk across chalk
line.
The visitors staid in camp un-
til II o'clock that evening when
they returned to Petersburg.
Tuesday they went to Washing
ton where they spent Tuesday
night and were in McConnells-
burg at 3 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon, and home before
early candle lighting" They
saw Percy Mentzer, Jesse Barnett
and Claire Hickman at the Camp.

All Over an Umbrella.

An elderly old gentleman kicked up
an awful fuss at the Vanderbilt hotel
courtroom in New York recently. He
had presented his check for his coat
and hat, had went away and returned,
demanding his umbrella. The boy
asked him for check and he eX-
planned that he had presented the
check in order to get his coat and hat.
The boy told him to look over the rack
and see If his umbrella was there, and
lnasmuch as the elderly gentleman
was nearSighted, he found ii necessary
to take all of the 20 umbrellas, one at
a time, over to the window. He rec
ognized none of them. The boy, ex-
ceedingy patient, told the excited
searcher that little remained to be
done. There being no check, and the
man finding it impossible to identify
his property, the hat boy was quite
right. There was pause, after which
the elderly man slammed his hat down
on his head, drew over chair and,
announcing that he would sit there un'
til his umbrella was found, sat down
violently. 1t happened that his um'
brella had been hanging from the In
side of his right overcoat armhole dur
ing the discussion. When he sat down
the ferule of the umbrella hit the floor
the handle hit the complainer's chin
and his hat bounded quite out Of the
room. He followed it.

NJ STATE UNITS IN ARMY.

The response from the general staff
to the request by Governor Neville that
the former Nebraska National Guard
regiments be brigaded as unit for
overseas service gives cogent reasons
for not following that course. State
pride Is fully recognized at the war
department, but more important con-
sideratiOnS have determined the dis
position of troops. To begin with, Ne
braska troops, along with those of 9th
er states, lost any distinguishing state
designations when they entered the
service Of the government and be-
came an integral part Of the military
forces of the United States. Since
then more young men have gone out
under the selective draft than were
in the Guard regiments, and no effort
has been made to separate them. All
are ineXtricably mixed and the read
ing Of the casualty lists now coming
back will show how completely mere
local distinctions have been lost sight
Of. This Is not war of states, but Of
The nation, says Omaha Bee. The
forces under the president are not
composed Of 4S little armies, but Of
one big, general organization, which
the officers are striving to weld into
one homogeneous whole, in which there
will be no rivalry between states, 9TH
er than the wholesome and generous
competition of the men themselves to
uphold home traditions.

Latest War News.

The great German drive that
has been expected momentarily
for the last two weeks, was
launched Monday morning at 6
O'Clock. with all the fury possible
at their command. The Allies
were not taken by surprise, and
met the attack with that pre-
paredness and determination
that must mean victory in the
end. Every hour since the drivebe-
gan, the battle has been raging.
With the Germans, it is-now or
never. The Allies feel that de-
feating them now, will mean the
swift fastening of the end of the
war. But, the slaughter of hu-
man life is appalling. and it is
the Germ any army that is suf-
fering. The latest dispatches
bring nothing but encouragement
for our troops. Of course, the
americans are now taking part
as they never did before, and we
may prepare ourselves to hear of
losses that will come close home.
