HOME FOOD PROBLEMS
United States Food Leaflets" Convey
Nations Expert Thought to
to Nations Women

Uncle Sans food advice to his peo-
pie at war, condensed in four-page
United States Food Leaflets" and
aimed to stimulate food saving without
sighting body needs, are now ready.
Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Food Ad-
ministration and with the aid of State
representatives, the leaflets carry the
country's expert thought on food con-
servation and utilization translated in
to popular language. For the mother
who may be confused with much ad-
vice about her war obligation, as well
as for the food conservation worker,
the message of the leaflets should be
most helpful.
Beginning with the days first meal
the experts take up the daily food
problems of the average home. Start
the Day Right with Good Breakfast"
is Food Leaflet No. l. Then follow
others now ready: do You Know
Corn Meal?" "a Whole Dinner in One
DISH" Choose Your Food Wisely"
Make Little Meat Go a Long Way"
do You Know OATMEAL" "Food for
Your Children" More will follow.
In four-page nutshells and in big,
readable type. the problem of foods
and diets are presented in way
which should make them strike home"
every home in America. War diets
for the child and the adult, carefully
selected, not only with regard to "cal-
ories" and "protein"-scientific meas
uring rods-but also with delicate re-
spect for young, E.iddle-aged, and
grown-up appetites, are presented by
means of menus, recipes, and hints
many of them new and all of them
simple and practicable.
Confident that "a Whole Dinner in
One DISH" presented in Food Leaflet
No. 3, will make good its name, the
Governments food specialists guaran-
tee that:
1.-The youngsters will like it,
Father will like it."
"You will like it,
"Your pocketbook will surely like
it."
"Your bodies can't help liking it."
"Uncle Sam is bound to like it,"
Diets for the children, one leaflet
says in big type, should not be skinny,
but wise selection will enable food
saving even in their meals. And, then,
after enumerating model breakfasts,
dinners, and suppers, the experts
make bid for the child vote with
these suggestion:
Sweets are good for them-the
right ones at the right time. Dates,
raisins, stewed fruits, simple pud-
dings, and sugar cookies are better
than candy. Give them at meal time.
Between meals let them have bread
and butter. cracker, or fruit. They
won't spoil the appetite, the candy
between meals will

EXPERIENCE IF
 II AMERICANS
 ON RUSS TRAINS

LONDON, May (by maiD.-The hardships of railway travel during the present Reorganization in Russia were brought home repeatedly to the members of the American Red Cross mission to Rumania on their journey from Jassy to Murmansk. The dis tance is about 2,500 miles. but the mission was nearly a month on the way, averaging less than 100 miles a day. Even after reaching Murmansk the Americans lived on their railway trains for two weeks while waiting for boat.
 Murmansk is 15O miles north of the Arctic circle, and the cold during parts of the journey was severe. None of the railway cars had any heating arrangements. During the coldest weather many of the doctors and nurses remained in bed all day to keep warm.
 American ingenuity made a brave effort to remedy the lack of heating arrangements by building small stoves of brick, stones and pieces of sheet iron. These stoves were built in the corridors or aisles of the cars and were fed with wood and charcoal picked up along the line. They were not very successful as heating appli- ances, but were occasionally useful for making hot coffee or tea.
 The new order of things which the Bolsheviki has introduced into Russia was perpetually in evidence. Every where along the line the officers in charge of the train had to deal with Russians who thought they had as good a right as anybody else to travel on it. Unbidden guests were always coming on board. At night they would often enter by way of the windows, some merely looking for ride, others in search of plunder The Americans all slept with their revolvers under their pillows, ready to repel boarders
 At almost every railway station there were prolonged arguments and alterations. Excursion parties of Russian soldiers would express a de- sire to travel a few hundred versts with the mission, and the French sol
