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 classifiactions, separations,
and disposition of wastes from food
will be made, 1t 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 thorGughness of this new work
will outGerman the much boosted
German efficiency.

AN AGED COUPLE.

We recently spent n pheasant even
ing with an aged couple, and what
added to the pleasantness was the fact
that although this couple was basking
in the sunset Of we'll spent life, they
were as devoted to each other as when
the honeymoon" first shown in their
pathway. We could not but compli-
ment our friend upon his devotion to
his aged companion, and in reply he
said to us, "You mistake me II you
think age has botted out my heart.
Though silver hair falls over brow
all furrowed, yet am lover still. |
love All nature, and ! love you aged
dame. Look at her. Her face is care
worn, but it has ever held smile for
me. Often have | shared the same bit
ter cup with her, ard 50 shared, it
seems almost sweet. Years of sickness
have stolen the freshness of life; but
like the faded rose the perfume Of her
love Is richer thar when in the full
bloom of youth and maturity. Together
we have wept over graves Through
sunshine and storm we have clung To
gether, and now she sits with her
knitting, her cap quaintly frilled, the
old style kerchief crossed white and
prim above the heart that beat so long
and true for me; the dim blue eyes
hat shrinkingly front the glad day;
the sunlight throwing parting fare
well, kisses her brow and leaves upon
it faint Tracing Of wrinkles angelic
radiance. | see, though no one else
can the bright, glad young face that
won me first, and the glowing love OF
forty years thrills through my heart
till tears come. Though this form be
bowed, God imparIs eternal life with.
in. Let the ear be deaf the eye blind,
the hand palsied, the limbs withered,
the brain clouded, yet the heart the
true heart-may hold such wealth of
love that all flowers OF death and the
victorious grave shall not be able TO
put out this quenchless lame."
AS we meandered home we could but
think what a heaven upon earth this
would be il devotion existed between
all who had taken the marriage vow

LIES sunset are the most beautiful OF
any on the long journey from the

SIMPLE THINGS WORTH WHILE
Many Make Mistake of Thinking Hap
piness Comes Only From Material
or Outward Conditions.

Why should you care to be pcstered
with large bank account or distressed
by house full of servants? asks the
Albuquerque Evening Herald, which
adds: Adam and Eve had neither of
these and they called their place of
abode Paradise. Few people have
learned the secret of living well. Too
many think it depends almost wholly
on the condition of the pocketboOk.
This is most certainly mistake. Hap
piness is not born of material or out
ward conditions. 1t is largely the re-
suit of n purely mental process.
Amid the dullcr threads Of duty II
is well to weave one bright strand
of dcsircs-it is well to mix little
sunshine with your daily food. You
can soften the sound of cab and car
in the stony street by calling To mem
DRY n birds song heard in the fields
on n summer afternoon in childhood.
1t is swecter TO your soul-if you have
one-than is the railroad that you own
yourself.
Take q day off and 20 out 10 some
cemetery where you may reflect on
the brevity Of life and the INSULT
cheney of things pertaining to the peck
etbOOk. 1t Is better that you go be
fore it comes your turn to ride out
there in the big plumed car that never
hauls its load back again. Don't wait
until you own your private automobile,
hut 60 while you are able to walk and
to think From the dead you may
learn much of life. Sean all the yir-
tues inscribed upon all the headstones
by loving hands-and among them all
you will not find recorded the posses
sion Of a million dollars or a locked
tail horse or Il hrownstone palace or a
12-cylnder car or a Handsome" ward
robe.
No! The headstones usually tell
you only of those things worth while.

Use Syrup in Canning.

Sugar in canning does not aid in
keeping fruit although it does improve
its flavor While the State Food Ad
ministration has granted 25 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 oil sugar in preserving.
In place of rs cup of sugar and 2/5
of water, reverse and use 2/3 cup OF
syrup and l/3 cup OF water in making
the syrup in which fruits are canned

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 lossened
since wheat makes the incest, whitest
loaf, but she nourisnes her family just
as well 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 nu,ri
tional value of our own diet

UNCLE SAM PRACTICES

Methods of thrift now enforced in
the Army Quartermaster Generals
office, including the repair Of clothing
and shoes, where possible, have cut
down the issue Of new clothing and
shoes from 80 10 10 per cent in some
instances.
The plants where the mending is
done are run in connection with forts
and camps by the Camp Q Iartermaster.
When a soldier tears or rips a garment
he turns it in to his supply officer
When the soles of bis shoes wea" out
or the heel runs down, the shoes go
back to the same officer. These gar
ments and shoes are taken to the re-
pair shops managed by the conserva-
ton and reclamation officer. When
repaired and put in order they are re.
turned to the original owner if possible
and if the original owner can not be
located they serve some other soldier.
Hundreds of women are being en-
ployeG 10y the War Department in the
work of repairing the garments OF SOL
diers and in the laundries at camps and
environments. Preference in this en-
ployment is given the wives, and sis

A RECIPE FOR A DAY.

A RECIPE FOR A DAY.
Take little dash of water cold
And little leaven of prayer,
And little bit of morning gold
Dissolved in the morning air.
Add TO your meal some merriment
And thot for your kith and kin,
And then, as your prime ingredient,
A plenty of work thrown in.
But spice it all with essence of love
And little Whit of play,
Let a wise book and a glance above
Complete the well made day

WRITE A LETTER.

Write a letter to soldier when you
haven't much to do; it will brace some
homesick fellow who is feeling pretty
blue. Oh, our boys are on.hearted.
and they'll whip their weight in leu
tons but they have their lonesome mo-
ments when their heart is full OF aches;
there are hours when they are longing
for the homes so far away and the girls
they left behind them and the parents
old and gray; and letter full OF sun
shine makes the melancholy shrink
therefore get your pen in action, with
demilohn Of ink. Write letter to a
soldier, foil OF cheer and Joy; let the
SOB stun go to thunder-it won't help
a lonesome boy. Tell the soldier that
you're betting he will make the leu
ton fly; tell him all is hunkydory, and
the goose is hanging high. Tell him
all his friends are banking on the big
things he'll achieve, let him know he 5
not forgotten since he took his final
leave. Write letter to a soldier ere
you go 10 bed tonight, some poor chap
is waiting for the letter you don I
write. 1t will take You fifteen minutes
such letter to compose. and then
you II hearten up soldier when he's
billed to face his foes. Make it bright
and breezy, full Of courage, simles and
snap, show the confidence you're feel
ing in the outcome OF the scrap, and
some soldier boy will bless you as he
takes his little gun, and prepares to
shoot the gizzard from Hun.

COUNTY COURT DAY
Is Changed From First Monday in the
Month to First Tuesday-Order
Issued BY Judge Purnell
Yesterday.

An order was issued by County
Judge Harry P. Purnell yesterday af-
ternoon changing County Court day
from the first Monday in the month to
the first Tuesday in the month. This
order is effective Immediately and
County Court day will be held on next
Tuesday instead of Monday.
Because of the order of the Federal
Fuel Administrator making Monday a
legal holiday, county judges in many
counties are changing court day from
Monday to Tuesday. Business men Of
this city and farmers of the county
petitioned Judge Purnell to do like
wise and seeing that 1t was best for
all concerned, he made the change,
and 1t is quite probable that all 9TH
er regular monthly terms OF court
that fall on Mondays will be changed
to Tuesdays.
County Court day is now one of the
best business days the Maysville mer-
chants have In the month, but with
the holiday in effect, absolutely no
business could be transacted, which
would be quite serious thing to our
business men as well as a great in
convenience to our country friends.
