Colorado's Copperhead Roll.

The National Security league, a
nonpartisan organization of citizens to
insist upon military decision and to
see that the American dead do not die
in vain, has published chart giving
the votes in the house of representa-
tivcs on the eight principal prepared
ness and war measures considered by
the sixty-fourth and sixty-fifth con-
crosses. This chart ought to be very
much in demand from now until the
November election. A candidate for
recollection can be judged best from
his votes given during the critical
weeks when lasting history was being
made. If he failed then, he will fail
now; if he had his ear to the ground
to listen to the pacifist-pro-Germ
sentiment in his district or state, he
will do so again when the acid test is
lpplied as the allies gain further on
the field and the sinister movement
spreads for an early, mediatod peace
This chart is broader than the White
House Index, as it includes the whole
country. not a section Of it.
The eight record votes are: Tn
McLomore resolution Of March, Z, 1916,
barring American citizens of their
rights to travel ON the high seas, :.
German sop. The Kahn amendment
to the Hay army bill of March %,
1916, to bring the army up to the re-
quest of the general stafr-a measure
of preparedness. The Brandegee
amendment to the same measure
doubling the size of the then stand
ing army. A new section to the army
bill providing for a volunteer reserve
army wholly under federal control. A
motion to increase the navy appropria
tion. The Cooper amendment to pro-
hibit American ships from carrying
arms or ammunition in their cargoos.
The declaration of state of war with
Germany, April 5. 1917. The Kahn
amendment to the cOnscription act,
April %, 1917, providing for raising
by conscription of the necessary army
to give effect to the declaration of
war.
The summary of the chart by states
gives the percentage of wrong votes
by representatives on all eight meas
ures. Rhode Island stands alone with
perfect record. Massachusetts comes
comes next with percentage of 4.69
wrong votes and Connecticut with i
percentage of five. North Dakota
heads the bad record list with n per-
centage of 1916 wrong votes. Colo
rado is a close second with percent
age of 1912.
A total score of wrong votes is Civ

RADIO. Keating of Colorado, Church of
California. London of New York, Me-
Iemore of Texas, Nelson of Wiseon-
sin, Van Dyke Of Minnesota.
Forty-seven members of the house
are recorded as having voted ON all
eight tests. Colorado has not one 20
its credit.
What are the Colorado voters going
to do about that record ,. Do they
wish their states to be branded as
of questionable loyalty

by the November vote, we will insist =

URGES NATURAL ICE HARVEST
Uncle Sans Fuel Administrator
Points Out q Way to Save Mil.
lions Of Tons Of Coal.

A great harvest Of natural ice 10
proposed by Uncle Sans fuel admin
~istratiOn as a means of saving coal
this winter. Fifteen million IONS Of
coal are used annually In American Ice
factories and refrigeratlng plants. The
winter season manufactures each year,
without expense to man, billions Of
tons Of Ice. Most Of this Is wasted.
Every ton of natural ice which Is
harvested will take the place of a ton
Of artificial ice and will save 500
pounds of coal.
Every householder, st~orekeeper and
farmer who q obtain ice from near
by rivers and ponds and store 1t for
S next summer Is urged to do so.
The organization of the 5000 Ice
making plants Of the country along
lines Of fuel economy Is receiving the
attention Of the fuel administration.

your cheapest fuel. Besides, the, give
your body some building material.
Don't think that wheat bread Is the
only kind OF cereal food. The govern
ment asks us to save wheat to send
abroad to our soldiers and the allies.
Let the North try the Southern corn
bread and the South the oatmeal Of
the North. Half the fun of cooking Is
In trying new things. An oatmeal pud.
ding Is delicious.
Sugar and sirups are fuel, too. and
they give flavor to other foods. They
are valuable food, but many people ent
more Of them than they need. Sweet
fruits, of course, contain much sugar
and are better for the children than
candy.
Fat.-Fnt IL fuel. Some Is needed es-
pecially by Woodworking people. Re.
member that expensive fats are no
better fuel than cheap ones. Use drip.
pings. Don't let your butcher keep
the trimmings from your meat. They
belong to you. Children need some
butter fat. Give II to them In plenty
Of whole milk or In butter.

the bureau. During the period OF the
war many individuals and agencies are
giving voluntarily Of both time and

With the return of normal times this

Tea Long Used In China.

Tea was used and cultivated In
China as far back as the third Ger
fury, A. D., but It was not until the
twelfth century that II became known
In japan, when an abbot of a Budd-
hist monastery learned about 1t In
China. where its virtues were already
well known. Obtaining seed. he planted
some near Kyoto. In later years some
Of this was tr~ansplanted ear Shi-
xuoka. which vicinity has ever since
been the center Of the tea industry Of
Japan. It was not until about the
seventeenth century that tea became
generally known in Europe. when II
was exploited by the Dutch East In
dian company as q new article of COM
merce. The first tea sold in England
brought $15 to $50 a pound.

Use Fruit.

Fruit helps to keep your body In
good health and to prevent constipa-
ton.
Use fresh fruit when possible.
Use prunes, dried apples, dried april
cots. Soak them In water over night
and cook them long enough to make
them tender.
Use dates or raislns. These are
good added to the cereal ten minutes
before taking 1t from the stove. Then
you Will not need sugar.
Use ripe bananas with dark skins.
Bananas with greenish-yellow skins
are hard to digest unless cooked.
Use Cereals.
Cornmeal mush, oatmeal, rice, hon.
my (grits).
These are much cheaper thun the
"ready-tO-eat" breakfast foods. A
"rendy-to-eat' breakfast food may
cost 10 cents for a big package. but II
the package contains only one-quarter
pound-6O cents a pound for cereal |!
This Is eight or ten times us expen-
sive as cornmeal at six or seven cents
u pound. Look for the weights print
ed on the package and get the most
for your money.
Cornmeal mush and oatmeal are
good only when well cooked. Many
people use too little salt and don't
cook them long enough.
To cook cornmeal mush for five peO-
pie use one and one-half cupfuls corn
meal, two ~teaspoonfuls salt ~(level),
five or six cupfuls water. Bring salt
ed water to II boil. Stir In the corn
meal slowly. Don't let It lump. Cook
1t ut least 30 minutes. 1t Is better
when cooked for three hours. or over
night. Use a double boiler on the
back of the stove. or u fireless cooker.
For oatmeal use two and one-half
cupfuls rolled oats, two and one-half
teasp0onfuls salt, five or six cupfuls
water. Bring the water to a boil. Stir
the rolled oats slowly into the boiling
water and cook for hour, or over
night.
Eat the cereal with milk or strip
or butter OF butter substitutes. You
don't need bread besides.
A large amount Of cornmeal or oat-
meal may be cooked ut one time. The
unused part placed In a creased bowl
may be kept for q few days In q cool
place. DO you know how good sliced
and fried oatmeal is2
Instead Of breakfast food you can
take bread-preferably one of the wal
breads. Corn bread and milk is deli.
cious.
Use Milk.
Milk Is an excellent food. A quart
of whole milk gives as much nourish.
ment as n pound of lean meat.
Children especially need 1t to make
them grow strong and keep well. II
Is good for grown people. too. Give
each child at least a glass for break
fast. Drink It hot or cold, or use It
On the cereal, or make 1t into cocoa.
Even at a high price milk Is a cheap
food for children.
No Coffee and Tea for Children.

CHOOSE YOUR FOOD WISELY.

Study These Five Food oroups
Every food you eat may be put into
one Of these groups. Each group serves
a special purpose in nourishing your
body. You should choose some food
from each group daily.
1. Vegetables and fruits.
2. Milk, eggs, fish, meat, cheese,
beans, peas, peanuts.
8. cereals-cornmeaI, oatmeal, rice,
bread, etc.
4. Sugar, sIrups, Jelly, honey, etc.
s. Fats-hutter, margarine, cotton
seed oil, olive oil. dripplngs, suet.
You can exchange one food for an
other In the same group. For example,
oatmeal may be used instead of wheat,
and eggs, or sometimes beans, instead
Of meat; but oatmeal cannot be used
instead Of milk. Use both oatmeal and
milk.
You need some food from each group
every day-DONT SKIP ANY.
Here are the reasOns why you need

stlpation which gives you headaches
and makes you stupid. The kinds you
choose depend upon the season, but re-
remember that the cheaper ones are
often as valuable as the more expen-
sive.
Milk, eggs, fish, meat, peas, beans
These help build up the growing body
and renew used-up parts. That Is their
main business. Dried peas and beans
make good dishes to use In place of
meat part Of the time, but don't leave
out the other foods entirely. Milk is
the most important. Buy at least a
pint a day for every member Of your
family. No other food can take Its
place for children. Save on meat II
you must, but don't skimp on milk.
