other matter entirely.
1T was over in less time than it
takes to tell it. At the same time the
next nearest destroyer was perhaps
100 yards away, spinning around in a
tight little circle and dropping depth
bombs as fast as it could spill them
over the stern. Presently a great oily
blob of water rose and the destroyer
curved away from the ship and went
over to the first one to see what it was
doing. The rest of them had apparent

the sea to white ribbons.
Living Wall Formed.
"a big flock Of English gunboats and
destroyers came up from nowhere in
particular and moved along ahead of
US and on our TANKS. We reduced our
speed to theirs and our own flock of
wasps came up and formed a living
wall around us and we moved along
up to where an hour later an English
pilot was picked up who took US
through the mine fields and into port.
eve learned then from the COM
mander of the destroyer fleet, who
came aboard us, that there had been
three subs waiting for us. They had
fired three torpedoes at short range,
but just as the fracas started we had
been signaled to turn sharp and beat
it. We did. The torpedoes skinned
our sides. Two of the submarines went
to Davy Jones' locker and they kind of
felt that the other one was smothered
the same afternoon"

Over in England they are selling bones
ling. Policemen regulate long lines
Of people patiently standing out on
the sidewalks, waiting, not for their
favorite matinee idol to pass, but for
a chance to enter a food shop and buy
a small quantity Of food. 1t takes
about three minutes for the shopkeep-
ers to dress their windows over there,
merely because there are, perhaps,
but a few cans Of condensed milk and
a box or two of corned beef to be dis
played.
Yet over here in America, bones,
hay, even fats and precious scraps Of
meat are going into the garbage pals!
Although in many cities there were
long lines of people waiting last win
ter for supplies Of coal, there has as
yet been no pinched-faced mob plead
ing for food. True there are frequently
long lines of people on the street, but
mostly they are buying tickets to
shows! In the busy streets in towns
and cities, shopkeepers display elabo-
rate arrangements of all kinds of deli
cacies in their showcase windows.
They would scorn "display" Of corn
ed beef and condensed milk!
The accompanying picture is from
the Official Press bureau in London.
It was sent over to this country for
the express purpose of showing Amer
lea what England is really facing. A
country in such straits not only needs
help herself, but cannot possibly be
expected to contribute to the support
Of hundreds Of thousands Of United
States troops now on the other side. The
food shortage is real. Save food and

FOOD CONTROL ACT AUTHORIZES
REQUISHTONING OF WHEAT.

To secure a better understanding of
it's purpose and authority for requisi-
tioning wheat, the Food Administra-
ton outlines the circumstances under
which such action has been taken.
Section 10 of the Food Control Act
authorizes the president to requisition
foods, fuels, and other supplies for the
Army, Navy, or any other public use
connected with the common defense.
Compensation is provided for. With
respect to foods and feeds, the presi-
dent has delegated his powers to the
U. S. Food Administrator who in turn
has authorized the Food Administra-
tors of the various states to act in his
behalf.
Altho the power to requisition wheat
is sweeping in its. scope, the Food Ad-
ministration of Wisconsin has pre-
ferred to rely on the loyalty of Wis
consin wheat growers rather than use
force.
In outlining these facts, the Food Ad-
ministration of Wisconsin expresses
it's desire that farmers who still have
wheat on hand place it on the market
at once.
A seed scarcity for the next crop is a
remote contingency.

More Rice. Less Wheat.

Rice came into new favor when pota-
toes were scarce. It's value as a. staple
diet was re-established with the Amer
lean people. Since some 5000 orientals
use rice as practically their only
cereal, it's nutritional value cannot be
doubted. 1t is low in protein and fats
and is used as a cereal or desert, or
vegetable. Rice is now coming into
market as a flour. For those patriotic
enough to wish to give up wheat en-
tirely, fine bread can be made with the
rice flour.

Eat Peanuts.

Peanut butter is good for the chill
dren; peanut oil rivals olive oil for the
place Of honor in the salad. Make your
breads with peanut flour as a subsh-
tute for wheat, and use peanuts as
substitute also for meat in peanut
loaves or peanut buildings which, if
properly concocted are delicious as
well as nutritious.

Plant Specialists Help Save Food.

A War Emergency Board of special
lists in plant diseases has lately been
organized to combat food waste. The
purpose Of the board is to acQuaint the
public with useful facts about molds,
blights, and the various agencies of
microscopic size which cause foods to
decay 1t is believed that better I'M
derstanding by the public of all such
forms of food waste may become an
important part in food conservation.

Care of Eggs.

The u. S. Food Administration has
ruled that on and after June 1, 1918,
all eggs must be candled by the buyer
or seller, whether he be general mer-
chant, egg dealer or huckster.
The purpose of this ruling is to stop
traffic in eggs which are unfit for hui
man food, to prevent them entering
the channels of trade, and thereby pre-
venting an enormous wastage.

Many of the leading hotels in Wis
