IN FRANCE

A parody on "fhere's Long, Long
Trail Winding" has been gotten up
in France, and is sung a great deal by
the boys over there. 1t goes thus:
There's long, long trail a-winding,
Through No Mans Land out in
France,
Where the shrapnel shells are burst
ing,
But we must advance.
There'll be lots of thrills and fighting
Before our dreams all come true,
But We'll show the id old kaiser
What the Yankee boys can do!

For Cause
and Country

At no time during the war has the
Importance of wheat been greater
IT, an at this moment. Every ounce
of saved wheat is a contribution to
our fighting forces. Never before has
it been so possible for the civilian to
lend such direct and vital aid to his
cause.
Direct orders for the family should
be formulated by every patriotic
housekeeper. In place of bread for
Ginner she should demand of her
household that they eat more pota-
toes, or-for variety-rice, as vege-
table, or hominy grits.
Breakfast should begin the DAY not
by the breaking of bread. but by the
serving of oatmeal, cornmeal mush
or prepared non-wheat produCts
And the housewife must serve these
breakfast cereals not apart from the
eggs or coffee, but with them, SO
that the lack of bread will be met
quite obviously.
At Iuncneon, any bread served
should be quite wheatless. and if po-
tatoes are served, bread can be cas-
lily omitted.
These are only a few of the ways
that can be found by the housekeep-
er who wants to eliminate wheat en-
| tirely from her menu and so make a
high contribution to cause and coun-
trV.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE
Copyright by International News Service

"All dolled up, aren't you?" said
Warren, as they stepped out of the
elevator.
DO you like my cape, dear?"
Sure, it's all right; you're too
crazy about clothes, though you let
them get your goat"
why, Warren, what an awful way
to put it!'
YOU fused with that old coat. and
tcld you you never could get cape
out of it."
Il thought I could save and not
get spring wrap
"Of course you did. and If you had
taken my advice in the beginning
ycu would have saved paying the
tailor anything"
''It was only a dollar"
That's enough you paid thirty
five for this, after all-thirty-siX
counting that extra dollar"
Helen said nothing to this because
Warren was right and she did fret
and worry too much about her
clothes and her appearance. But this
afternoon she did feel as though she
locked very smart. They were on
their way to Carries for Sunday
nights supper. and as Carrie often
had several friends in on Sunday
evening and served supper in buffet
style, Helen had planned to look un-
usually well. She was even hoping
thtt Carrie would notice her new
cape and comment upon its eXtrava-
ganee, and then she would tell her
that Warren had insisted upon buy
ing it.
Lets go up in the car, DEAR" as
they got off the train.
Not on your life: here, taxi" said
Warren, beckoning to one of the sta
tion rigs that were designated taxis,
although they did not look the part.
A second later they were on their
way to Carries.
Carrie welcomed them effusively.
She looked quite nice, Helen thought,
in a blue satin gown made with a
soft fichu about the throat. Helen
followed her upstairs to the bedroom
and saw that there were several
women's wraps about. Carrie did not
comment on the new cape, nor on
Helen's new Georgette dress, which
surprised Helen, but when Carrie
said that she had a friend visiting
them. Helen quite understood, al
though she was curious to see the
friend that could so throw Carrie off

hut above all the chatter Helen could
distinguish clear voice. She
glanced over in its direction. and saw

to introduce Helen to the different
groups. I'VE have a little friend
staying with u.s." Carrie went on.
You will be sure to like her." and,
then to Helens surprise, Carrie was
introducing her to the rather eX-
treme young person, who bowed in
differently to Helen, and to whom
Helen took an instantaneous dislike.

MENU SYSTEM DISCLOSES
TWO MEAT VIOLATIONS

"A careless or disloyal restaurant
is going to get small consideration
at our hands for the next few
months" said Alfred Atkinson, Fed
eral food administrator for Montana,
when two cafes in Missoula were
brought to book for offering a full
line of meats on a meatless day. This
violation was discovered through ex-
animation of bills of fare collected
by the Federal Food Administration
for that purpose, which revealed the
fact that on a meatless Tuesday
neither of the cafes observed the
regulations. The proprietors were
asked by telegraph if they proposed
to observe the rules, and replied
that service of meat on that day
had been an error, and that they
would observe regulations. These
two establishments, however, will be
closely watched.

type of girl that Carrie always OBJ
1ected to and invariably sneered at
as fast"
But Carrie smiled sweetly and said:
Isn't she sweet? / met her while
Fred and l were in Florida; she
stayed at the same hotel. She's in
town for some shopping, and she
called us up. OF course, [ asked her
out here, she would have had to stay
alone at a hotel otherwise"
Helen kept her eye on the girl
while she sat across the room on the
large davenport with some of Car
rie's other friends. All of Carries
friends were stodgy. and to find q
butterfly among them was most un-
usual
Just beforeS the buffet meal was
served. Carrie made an effort to sep
arate the two groups. 1t was then
that Helen noticed Warren go up to
the girl, take a chair and draw it up,
and begin to talk. She was so as
founded at this fact that she could
hardly believe her eyes. But aAer
few moments when Warren fol-
lowed the girl into the other room,
Helen began to believe that he was
II tSlly interested IN neT, ana from
then on she forgot everything but
that fact. 1t wasn't exactly that
she was jealous. but she did resent
Warren's interest in butterfly type,
a girl with nothing to her but a GER
tain surface attraction. and a girl
" no was obviously trying to work
Carrie for all she was worth
The long evening after supper
dragged desperately and at half
past nine Helen made an effort to
leave. The train they usually took
left at nine fifty-fve, and she went
up to Warren with the remark that
she was going to get ready.
He seemed to be impatient at be-
ing interrupted. while the girl viewed
Helen with cool. level eyes.
Whats your hurry?' Warren
asked
why. it's time to get ready for the
train," Helen said confusedly.
What train, the 9.55? Well, we'll
wait for the lilo tonight" And as
Helen turned away, her cheeks burn

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
"RIGHT, OR "wRONG"

DEAR MISS FAlRFAA:
We have just been married, only
three months. Do you think it
proper for my wife to go to the thea
ter with a man for whom she former
ly worked? He sometimes takes her
out to lunch while I'm at business.
l do not know the man. I am not
jealous, but l do not think it is right.
o. r.
Convention is on your side. 1t does
not approve of a situation such as
you describe. Probably there is moth
ing actually wrong" about it; but
your wife is putting herself in a po-
sitton where people will criticise her
and pity YOU, and that is not fair to
either of you. Why have you not met
this man? If your wife is on suffci-
entity friendly terms with her former
employer to accept his invitations to
theater and luncheon. she ought to
arrange for her husband to meet so
good a friend. 1t is rather pathetic
that so soon after your marriage she
can find joy in the expensive pleas
ures another man buys her. TO her
/ would like to say, Careful. little
girl! This is a dangerous game you
are playing Don't risk love and 10y
atty for the sake of few good times
which probably mean very little to
you after all"
