TREES FOR PALESTINE
Civilian Commission Will Make
Recommendation.
Aforestation and improvement of Wa
ter Supplies Greatest of coun-
try's Needs.

London.-Two principal reeommen-
dations which the civilian commits
sion now in Palestine will make for
the reconstruction of that country
will be IL scheme for beginning azores
tation, and Il proposal for the conser-
walton of water supply by storage and
by opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from a
member of the committee says The
aforestation. For centuries the land
has been denuded of its trees, with
most disastrous consequences. For
the heavy rains ut certain seasons, in
stead of benetting the soil. over more
than four-ffths of the area carry away
in rushing torrents much of the little
soil that remains on the high lands
and valley slopes.
Palestine has not always been tree
less. The Roman emperors had valu-
able forest in the country. and Absa-
lom was caught by the hair among the
trees, but today one might gallop from
Dan to Beersheba without having TO
uuth pit : iltuu u dhVid u biAA'Qs
Trees Of rapid growth will be plant
ed. and for the more cultiyable dis
tricts fruit-bearing trees will be util-
lied.
The storage of water in lakes and
reservoirs is comparatively simple. BY
erecting small dams across certain
ways, II series of small reservoirs can
be constructed at little expense, Gre
ating a supply that will last through
out the dry season. In southern Pales.
tine hundreds of natural springs can
be opened which under centuries Of
misrule have been allowed to choke
up and fall into dlsuse.
Palestine today possesses an adj
vantage il never had before in n first
class railway connection with Egypt.
All the surplus crops will find a ready
market in the growing Egyptian

FACE the FACTS

T EFT us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
- Unless the Allies fight as they never yet nave
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless We feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight on. It is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. by saving just a little
less than a quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. 1t has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Cornl 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our f~orefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For a great section of our country it
has blong cen the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win a world war.
Learn Something-Corni 1t isn't one food. It's a
dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread.
It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are a few
of its uses:
There are at least afty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch or break,
fast. Here are some suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread. Corn-meal molasses cake.
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins. Dumplngs.
Biscuits. Gingerbread.
Griddle cakes. Fruit gems.
Wafles.
HEARTY DISHES
Corn-meaI c~roquettes. Corn-meal fish balls.
Meat and corn-meal dumplings.
italian polenta. Tamales.
