AMERICAN FOOD THRIFT MUST
NOT CEASE

Last September. while the war was
raging, America pledged herself to
ship overseas TN million tons OF food

looked for and this amount was con-
sidered sufficient for the Allied PEG
pie and OUT armies. With the arm
istice, however, conditions were sharp
ly altered. The Hun in his flight had
left millions starving In his wake
millions who even though they were at
last free still had no food resources,
and who could look for sustenance to
America alone.
These millions are in dire need and
America is going to help alleviate their
suffering, and to prevent further star
walton wherever possible. Herbert
Hoover, just before leaving for Eu-
| rope, arranged for the shipment of
100000 tons of food on our new pledge
Of twenty million tons.
The winning of the war was due in
9 large measure to the thrift of Ameri-
can housewives. They have perform
ed their task wonderfully well in the
past year, but their work of food saw
ing is not yet over 1t is they who
must continue the good work, for to
them Herbert Hoover looks for the
major portion of this country's food
| conservation,
The future task is somewhat diff
cult. as compared with the previous
one, for there are no fixed regulations
to be guided by. The best rule to fol-
low, therefore is the determination to
waste nothing. The following outline.
which was compiled by the Home Con-
servation Division of the United States
Food Administration, will be of real
| practical help to every woman who
has pledged herself to thrift:
Simpler methods of living
No waste in the use of food
Preservation Of surplus food
More careful selection of food
More careful buying Of food
More careful preparation Of food
/. Simplify your Food Habits
Eat only three meals day. Do not
eat or serve food between meals
Serve very simple meals. Three
courses at most. One dish meals
are practical.
Eat only what you need to keep you
we'll and efficient
3. Select your Food Wisely
Learn to know the needs Of each
| member of your family.
| Plan your meals TO meet these
needs Let your needs and not your
whtms govern your food habits
| Food selection is a science Study
it.
.. Buy Food ThoughtfuIly
Learn first what food is needed then
buy in such quantities as may safe
ly be stored or used without loss.
Plan ahead to save delivery. Study
the market and buy the seasonabiy
abundant foods. Conserve those
which are scarce here or abroad
Make budget and keep accounts.
l. Prepare your Food with Care

This means palatable foods with
reasonable variations in methods OF

ASK REDUCED HOTEL
MENUS TO SAVE FOOD

With the growth of national de-
mands for food conservation, labor
and thrift generally, all hotels have
been asked to reduce their menus and,
as far as possible. to cut out all of the
foods that are needed for overseas
shipments.
If the alternative dishes now offered
to customers on each menu can be
greatly reduced, it will decrease the
labor required in preparation, the
stocks required in reserve, and the
waste arising from it.

PRETTY MiDDLE-AGE Legend
City Of Rouen for Centuries Had Story
OF Its Own Concerning Mythical
Dragon.

st. George is always pictured in the
act Of driving a spear through the
mythical dragon. Among many leg
ends is that of st. Romanus, In the sew
enth century. who Is said to have de-
livered the city Of Rouen from one Of
these monsters. The feat was accom-
plished In very simple manner. On
Ascension day, Romanus, the city of
ROuen being threatened by an inunda-
ton, took q condemned criminal out
OF prison, and ordered him to go and
fetch the dragon that was disturbing
the waters. The criminal obeyed. The
dragon. following him into the city,
walked into blazing fire prepared for
it and was burned to death.
To commemorate this event, Dago-
bert, the French king, gave the clergy
Of Rouen the annual privilege Of par
dOning condemned criminal on Ascen-
sion day, right that was exercised
with many ceremonies until the time
Of the first French revolution. This
dragon, named Gargouille "a water
spout), lived in the River Seine; and
as Romanus is said to have construct
ed entertainments to defend Rouen from
the overlooking Of that river, the
legend seems to explain itself. The
word "gargoyle" is used In architec-
ture, somewhat changed frora its
French photography, as the name of a
projecting stone spout usually carved
with grotesque figure, to throw the
roof water clear Of the walls. The
primary meaning of the word in
French Is throat" or "gullet."

Wheat Not the Best Grain.

Habit has made US think that wheat
is a necessity; but 1t Is really only a
luxury. Perhaps the housewives pride
In her Saturday baking Is lessened,
since wheat makes the incest, whitest
loaf. but she nourishes her family just
as we'll on bread made with other
grains. 1t has no more protein, min
eral salt, fat. nor fuel than the other
cereals, and as far az comparative
tests are concerned In animals, it is
very far from the best one. Since it is
easier to ship, we can let the Allies
have it without decreasing the nutri-
tionai value Of our own diet.
