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. %
Each manager or owner of the high
grade hotel has a positive influence
1t is impossible to maintain a conser-
walton program in the home if those
who do not care to follow it can get
everything they want at hotels.
The greatest diet difficulties in Ger
many are due to the fact that the poor
man realizes that the big hotels don't
play the game. Any delicacy can be
bought by rich man, and this has
honeycombed Germany with graft.
But travellers in England are i'm
pressed with the scarcity of food in
hotels there. Her upper classes are
denying themselves the most and TAX
ing the heaviest burdens.

WHEAT SAVING ADVICE
BY THRESHlNG EXPERTS
Farmers Can Secure Valuable sus-
gestions BY Getting in Touch With
! County Threshing Committee.

Like the wise men of old, the group
OF experts who have studied the
threshing situation wish to help the
threshers by sharing with them the
Information they have accumulated.
!, The Grain Threshing Division would
Suggest, for instance, the running of
the cylinders Of the separator up to
speed as well as keeping the entire
outfit in proper adjustment, the avoid
ance of irregular and careless feeding
Of the bundles into the machine and
OF threshing grain that is unripe or
damp
At the suggestion Of the U. S. Food
Administration, they encourage tight
bottom bundle wagons so as to save
the grain that scatters out on the way
to the machine. They also urge the
Taking of the shock rows and a thor
oIgh cleanup before the machine is
moved.
Z Attention to these details through
out Wisconsin will mean many more
6ushels for the Sammies who are
lighting our battles for us across the
ocean.

Wheat Not the Best Grain.

Habit has made US think that wheat
is a necessity; but it 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 as 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
tional value of our own diet

WHEN HER BACKACHES

Mineral Point women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life burden.
Backache. hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles, are
frequent indications of weak kidneys
and should be checked in time. Doan's
Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only.
They attack kidney diseases by striking
at the cause.
Can Mineral Point sufferers desire
stronger proof of merit than this Mon
roe woman word?
Mrs NJ G. Ruf, 423 S. Fulton Street,
Monroe, Wis, says: Il was greatly
annoyed by weak kidneys. I had a
dull pain across the small of my back
and headaches, too. One box of Doan' S
Kidney Pills gave me prompt relief
from the kidney annoyance and re-
moved the aches and pains through my
back"

Can WITHOUT SUGAR
Gold Pack Method Well Adapted
T. For Putting Up Fruits
and Juices.
MAKE JELLY IN WINTER.

i We have become 80 accustomed to
the liberal use of sugar that many of
us have forgotten that vegetables,
fruits and fruit juices may be put up
for future use without necessarily U.s.
ing any sugar except that which is
present in the vegetables or fruit it.
self.
= Although we may have twenty-five
pounds at a time for canning purposes
on the certificate plan, we will be do
ing a patriotic service by putting off
the jelly making and preserving until
the new crops come in, and more Of
our boats are launched which we can
send to more distant parts for sugar.
i. we put up all of our fruits and fruit
Juices by the cold pack method or the
Open kettle method, not using sugar in
any way, we will have no difficulty
With the process. When we wish to
make preserves, janis, or jellies from
these canned fruits and juices we can
add the right amount Of sugar and fin
ish as needed for future consumption.
Sweetness Lost In Canning.
Sugar used in putting up acid fruits
is changed by the acid into another
type Of sugar which is less sweet, and
SO we lose the sWeetening strength in
cooking the sugar with the fruit in the
Canning process.
Z The reason for making jelly as it is
needed is that with some fruit juices
on long standing crystals are formed
in the jelly. When jelly is made a few
days before being used, which it is
perfectly possible to do when the juice
is canned and put away for winter use,
the Jelly is fresher, sweeter and no
crystals will have formed. There is
then practically no loss from spoilage
and fruit juice may be had also for
daVoring. jelly making, or sherbets as
needed.
Saves Labor and Storage Space.
The storage of fruit and fruit juices
is more easily solved when they are
in quart jars, and the labor is also less
In the heat of summer. The saving of
fuel is greater, too, as in winter the
jelly can be made while there is
constant fire in the kitchen range.
In summer canning limit the use of
sugar until the canned products are
prepared for immediate use.

Iceland Mills Potato Flour.

Iceland is preparing to handle her
excess potato crop by installing pota-
to milling machinery SO that the po-
tato starch can be used as a partial
substitute for wheat. Shortage of ship
ping with a consequent curtailment OF
imports has made it impossible to
maintain her wheat supplies.
Next year the potato crop in Wis
consin will have greater value
through the increased demand for po-
tato starch for food and for CONNER
cial work in the stiffening of textiles
and paste for paper. hangers besides
the consumption in ordinary cookery.
At present the only potato flour mill
in this state is in Polk county.

FOOD NOTES
Army Saving and Reclamation
of Food.

The Sammies save what we save for
them. All food left from the mess"
will be sent to the recently appointed
division of Conservation and Reclama-
ton where classifactions, separations,
and disposition of wastes from food
will be made. It will also have charge
of farming and garden operations for
each camp, cantonment and general
hospital. Interned aliens, drafted men
disqualified for overseas service, con-
scientious DIRECTORS and military pris-
oners will do active duty for this agri-
cultural service. Not only is the army
keeping step with the times, but it is
blazing the trail for conservation and
reclamation of our potential resources.
The thoroughness of this new work
will out-German the much boosted
German efficiency.

Use Syrup in Canning.

Sugar in canning does not aid in
keeping fruit although tsdoes improve
it's flavor. While the State Food Ad-
ministration has granted rs lbs at a
time to home Gamers according to
the certificate system, it should be re-
membered that commercial syrup can
take the place of part or the entire
amount of sugar in preserving.
In place of 1/3 cup of sugar and 2/3
of water, reverse and use 2/3 cup of
syrup and 1/3 cup of water in making
the syrup in which fruits are canned.
