Ice Cream,
an American Food

A little girl from Holland, on a
visit to this country. was taken to
an ice cream parlor and offered
some of this American delicacy. "At
first she was afraid of it," said the
young man, himself a Hollander,
but we got her to try it, and she
ate three dishes full before she left
the shop"
We Americans would very much
dislike going without ice cream for
very long, and this calamity is not
necessary if we will be content with
ice cream that is less sweet than we
have been accustomed to. There are
other sweeteners which may be
pressed into service and the United
States Food Administration consid-
ers their use as highly desirable.
Plain Custard Ice Cream
1 pint milk.
Ia cup light syrup.
1-3 cup honey or maple syrup.
Y tablespoon cornstarch.

1 tablespoon vanilla if honey is
used, or 1k teaspoons when
maple syrup is used.
Heap l " cups of milk in the top
part of a double boiler. Add sweet

into the remaining cold milk and add

20 minutes. Pour about u cup Of

THOSE THIN, HARD YANKEES
Typical of a Race of Whom 1t Has
|. Been Said They Shall Inherit
the Earth.

Recently we sat In a refreshment
room of a railroad station conversing
casually with foreign officer. Sud-
denly tall men in olive drab began to
come in by groups to wash up. They
were on their way. The officer, though
he tried to go on talking, couldn't keep
his eyes off the men, and his responses
became more and more absent as they
continued to crowd in.
"My Cod" he exclaimed, "where
do they come fromT
Then we looked at them. Not one
seemed less than six feet tall. They
were thin, hard, big-fisted, crag-
faced lot of men, the color Of new
bronze each with two deep lines
around the mouth, gentle with each
other, speaking softly, but certainly
the most formidable German killers
you could find in all the world. We
should not have noticed them partic-
ularly but for the officers dazed ap,
probation.
"They are probably from somewhere
in the mountains" we said at last.
The officer gave us strange look
Such men as these, and we took them
so much for granted that we couldn't
tell where they came from New
York Tribune.

Insects That Help Mankind.

One of the great sources of loss in
wheat growing has been due to the
injurious activities of the wheat-midge,
which feeds on the grain, and, If I'M
molested by its natural insect enemies,
would soon reduce our wheat crops to
the vanishing point. But several of
our friendly insects keep the nudge
in restraint, one being the ravenous
two-winged flies which seize and carry
away the nudge, and suck ort its
juices. It's most powerful foe, how
ever, is the parasite that lives ON the
midge-a small, black fly, somewhat
resembling the ant. The young of these
four-winged flies live on the larvae
and eggs of the nudge. AS the nudge
increases in number, these parasites
also increase, for they depend for a
living on the nudge, and the more
midges there are the more parasites
there are on hand to eat them up.

How Negroes Go to Camp.

Twelve hundred colored drafted men
went down one winter night to Camp
Upton. They arrived In the dark about
eleven o'clock. 1t was raining and
freezing. Many of the men were with
out overcoats. And they were soft,
having been walters, clerks and in 9TH
er indoor occupations. They arrived
in camp soaked to the skin, tired and
hungry. We're they cursing and
grumbling? No. They came in sing
ing:
"Good-by. Lenox Avenue; Hello. Ber-
lin!" And their melodious negro
voices rang out in cheerful defiance to
the angry night, to the hard life before
them and to the possible death that
awaited theml That's the stuff that is
in Americans-and 1t is war that is
bringing 1t out.-American Magazine.

Three Men and the Vision They Saw
By BRUCE BARTON

In certain city dwell three men, And by
accident of birth one of them is Catholic and
one is Protestant and one is a lew.
For thirty years they have engaged in bust
ness side by side, and the Catholic has not dealt
with the Protestant; and the Catholic and the
Protestant have had no dealings with the Jew.
"What is he to mel" each man has said.
'He is not of my faith: will avoid him."
So for thirty years they have dwelt together,
strangers in friendly world.
Then came the shadow of fearful war.
And out of those three homes three boys went
forth alone. Three fathers waited heart-worn
for the letters from over there.
"There are Soldiers of Friendliness over
here" the boys wrote home. They bring us
chocolate, and motion pictures, and baseball,
and good lectures; and the memory of mother
and Of God"
Help those friendly agencies when you have
the chance" each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three fathers found
themselves working shoulder to shoulder IN
great campaign for funds.
Not as Catholic and Protestant and a
Jew-but as good citizens united in cannon
cause.
And as they worked they came to know each
other, and they were ashamed that tor SO many
years they had been strangers side by side.
war;" they said, that in our deeper love for
our boys we have learned a new respect for one
another"
So new spirit was born into that city. AS
though in it's heart it had discovered something
of the greater religion, whose God is Father
and whose faith and creed are love.

RULING ON NEW WHEAT cRoP

The following letter has been receiv.
ed by Mr.. n L. Varney. District Ag,
ent. State University. Extension Divis
ion. Pikeville, Ky.
Ny Dear Sir
Youi letter of June 29-a was duly re.
csiseu. You will find by application
to MIR. Childers. County Food Admins
traitor, Pikeviile. Ky, that a ruling fol-
the new crop Of wheat has just beer
made which permits the farmer TO take
wheat to the mill and receive three
months supply based on u pounds a
month for each person in his family
He can have the mill reserve three
times that amount. with the Idea that
he will get IL after the first OF Octv-
Der. provided the Government does not
find 1t necessary TO restrict the use OF
the wheat TO less than the u pounds
per month. You will find that this
new regulation. which goes into effect
as the wheat is being miIled. does away
with the difficulty which you speak of.
The difficulty arose from the fact that
wheat flour was so short that there
was not enough to go around. and the
Government was forced to put the 30
day six-pound limit on the wheat, ev-
en- such as belonged to the farmer.
However. even during last season the
County Food Administrator at his dis
erection. could. IL he saw fit, permit a
farmer who lived long distance from
a mill. to receive little heavier con-
signment. The County Administra-
tor exercised this discretion as infre-
quently as possible. in order to con-
serve the wheat
Please spread the word among your
people that it was not the desire of the
Government to limit them in the use Of
their own wheat in any particular. II
was the last thing the Government
wanted to do. II Il was left to our
Government alone it would not be done
II has TO be done because the Germans
made us do it. That is the way the
war started
