FACE the FACTS

r EFT us face the facts The situation is critical
- Unless the Allies fight they yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship We
alone spare it to them. by saving just little
less than quarter OF What we ate last yearwe can
support those who are fighting our battles And we we
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn Of PIenty-Corn is that food There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour OF our need 1t has given Us corn IN such bounty
loads OF corn. Five hundred million bushels and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it, Was ever patriotic duty made
easy2 And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Cornl 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent For great section of country it
has bong the staff of life. How well the South
fought it, history tells. Now it help America
win world
Learn Somethng-CornI It isn't one food. It's a
dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable. It's bread.
It's dessert. It's nutritious; food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
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 yor 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 it7 Here few
of its uses:
There at least fifty ways to use corn meal to

coIors That Fade.

Aniline colors often fade to entirely
different colors, while vegetable dyes
usually fade to tones of their own par
ticular colors. The finest Oriental
rugs owe their soft, wonderful colors
entirely to vegetable dyes-in fact, the
Persian government has for years pro-
hibited the importation of aniline dyes.

she, Nothing and runs out for min

"How did know?" says she, "Ah me

Haven't I any eyes? Don't you sup

"If you have eyes," say I, "and

feminine understanding?
In such talk we spend the night No
sooner do I hear the first crow of the

gave them to understand the meaning of
the verse, "Let no dog sharpen his
tongue" which means, a dog shouldn't
bark for nothing. Upon their yelping
and my yelling the priest and the priest
ess rushed out and with difficulty dis
persed that jolly pack, and called me
into the house, received me as a very
fine guest and started to set the sam
Ovar for me.
Say I: "Never mind the samovar l

The priest, naturally, caught my mean
ing, winked at friend wife, 50 she would
please close the door after her. I at
once got to the point without any pre-
liminaries, namely, that he should tell
me first of all, whether he believed in
God, and then he should tell me, whether
he knows how it feels to separate a
father from the child he loves, and again
he should tell me, what according to him
is a good deed and what sin, and still
another thing he should make clear to
me what he would think Of person who
would steal into his house and turn
things upside down, change around the
benches, the tables and the beds
Naturally he sits there dumb-founded,
and says to me:
"Tevl' he says to me, "Tevl, you're
a sensible man." says he, "and here you
go and fire so many questions at me all
at once, and want me-" says he, "to
answer them with one breath. Take your
time," he says, "and I'll answer you
first, first; and last, last"
NO." say I to him, "you never will

you know why? Because I know all
