AND MEAT CONSERVED
Much Can Be Saved by Use Of Various
Substitutes in Arranging Lunch
for Children.

Wheat and meat can be saved In
thousands OF lunches carried each
morning to school by the children of
this nation. There is no need to de-
crease the energy value or nourish-
ment Of these lunches, but In addition
to saving wheat and meat it is pos
sible with the various substitutes to
give a pleasing variety to the noon
meal at school.
Since whatever meat brought from
home is usually in the form of sand
wiches. the problem of the meatless
lunch is rot hard, FOR so many good
sandwich Filings other than meat are
easy to secure. Here are few sug-
gestions for sandwich filings: Chop
ped hard-bciled egg mixed with salad
dressing; peanut butter; cottage or
cream cheese; chopped dates and nuts.
All are good and the children will like
them as well as meat.
For the wheatless day the sand
wiches are more of a problem, but
toasted corn mullins, rye bread, oat-
meal bread, or oatmeal or corn waters
can take the place Of the bread made
Of wheat only. The filings cRn be
anything usually used.
A sweet such as chopped fruits and
nuts pressed and cut in cubes or slices,
piece Of chocolate, or oatmeal cook
les, win find favor with the children
in place of the cooky or cake made
from wheat flour.
Sandwiches, fruit. and sweet make
a good lunch. especially If supplement
ed by cupful of hot cocoa or soup
made at school and containing some
milk. Or the lunch brought from home
may be even simpler plain bread and
an apple or other fruit are enough II
the hot dish prepared at school is q
hearty one.

With Many Of Simple Articles Almost

Hard Problem.

Stores used to be well supplied with
new household devices to tempt the
housewife. Now 1t Is becoming impos-
sible to purchase some of the simplest
articles because they are no longer
manufactured, or cannot be transport
ed. The housekeeper is confronted
with the unusual value of little things
with the necessity of making house
hold utensils last, of repairing them
or of making what she has on hand
answer. 1t lis a part of wars lesson
of thrift. Are you learning from 1T?
Here are some aids:
Handles, screws, and fastenings of
knives, forks, egg beaters, etc, left in
hot water, become loose.
Metal utensils rust when put away
wet.
Brooms and brushes used continu-
ally on one side wear to point.
Brooms should not be allowed to
stand on the floor until their weight
bends or breaks the straw.
Glasses often are broken whes the
bottom instead of the side first touches

China is dulled by washing it with
too strong soap suds.
China is broken in the refrigerator
by placing heavier dishes on it.
Liquids are spilled on rugs or polished
surfaces because the container was too

Contents Of saucepans boil over on
the stove or in the oven because al
lowance was not made for the expan-
sion Of liquids when heated.
Burned food viii clog burners of gas

Many rugs are torn because they

cessitates the employment Of some
other method OF selection. In the
breeding Of high producing animals
through several generations it has
been observed that there are certain
characteristics of the conformation
which are correlated with large pro-
duction. These characteristics are
namely: ~ Extreme angular form,
carrying no surplus flesh, but in good
physical condition. (2) Prominent de-
velopment of the udder and veins. (S)
The symmetrical development of the
barrel with large capacity. After one
becomes familiar with these external
characteristics it is possible to select
cows producing 300 pounds Of fat per
year from those producing $50 pounds.
The difficulty comes in picking the ami
NAL that will produce 500 pounds Of
fat per year compared to the one pro-
ducing 400 pounds.
The selection Of animals by this
method is rather uncertain. Until rec
ords are kept of more animals or some
other means devised for selection, the
selection by type should be used and

LEGUME HAYS ARE VALUABLE
Utilization Of Alfalfa or Glover Partly
Solves Dairyman's Prob
lem Of Feed.

One hundred and seventy-five pounds
Of good alfalfa or clover hay is worth
as much as 100 pounds of the ordinary
grain feeds. With the present prices
for feeds ranging from $25 ton for
bran to $S5 per ton for corn, the aver
age cost for 100 pounds Of grain is
about S2.75. The cost Of its food
equivalent in the form of It's pounds
Of legume hay is $2.15. This much hay
will produce 200 pounds Of milk and
effect a saving in feed cost of 60 cents
which is at the rate of 80 cents for
each hundred pounds.
The utilization OF such hay partly
solves the dairyman's problem in these
days of high feed cost and milk In

Destroy This House Pest.

The silver fsh-like insect known as
silverflsh or slicker is a troublesome
pest In many homes where ii is found
in books, papers, clothing and other
articles containing starch. 1t Is par
ticularly destructive in libraries, being
fond of the paste used in the bind
ing Of books. Frequently 1t feeds on
the paste used in applying wallpaper,
causing 1t to scale of. 1t also dam
ages starchee clothing. linen and cur
taIns if left undisturbed for any eonsid-
cradle period Of time. Nearly every
housewife is familiar with this obnox-
ious little pest. which is able to resr
about with great rapidity. though they
may know it by some other name than
siIver6sh.
One Of the best household remedies
for silverflsh is pyretnrum. Sodium
fluorid, a most efficient roach powder,
is also an effective remedy. 1t may be
busted, or applied with the powder
blower, wherever the silvertish is likely
to occur, Frequent handling and airing
OF starched clothing and similar OBJ
jects will aid In their destruction. A
thin, boiled starch paste made Of three
quarters ounce of powdered white ar
senic and one pint Of -four is go0o
poisoned bait when spread upon small
pieces Of cardboard and put In places
frequented by silvertish. AS this paste
is very poisonous it should be kept out
Of reach of children.

Marine PecuIiarities.

There are two natural phenomena
of quite regular recurrence which have
ss!sen unique fame TO the Japanese bay
Of Toyama. Tta lightning cuttlefish is
a rather tiny species that emits won
derful phosphorescence when aroused.
and while the fish is not confined to the
locality. it swarms along the coast in
April and May. A. the fishermen seek
them with special nets the alarmed
creatures glow with exceptional bril-
liance. The second phenomenon is the
Shinkero or mirage. The mirage, seen
along the shore, begins as a faint mist
and then develops into a panorama for

NO WIPING, LESS BREAK
AGE WITH THIS DISH
DRAlNER.

Perhaps no time spent in
housewcrk is more begrudged by
the housekeeper than that spent
In washing and wiping dishes. A
dish drainer not only saves time
and labor but 1t does away with
the too-often insanitary dish
towel. BY keeping the dishes
separate rather than in a pile 1t
should also reduce breakage.
A most satisfactory dish drain
err, illustrated above. can be
made by using an ordinary bread
! or biscuit pan and racks made of
soft No. II or IA wire. BY using
pair of pliers the wire can be
bent into tne proper shape for
forming The racks. The racks
fit into the pan and hold the
dishes out of the water. The
compartment for silver is made
Of poultry netting This COM
partment could be made Of
screen wire, or a tin can with
holes In the bottom might be
used.
After the dishes are washed
they are stacked in the racks
and scalded with hot rinsing wa
ter. The pan catches the drip,
and the dishes soon dry clean
and lintless. If the drainer is
used on the drain board OF a
sink small hole can be made In
the pan and the drip drained Inn
mediately into the sink. The
wire racks can easily be remov-
ed so that the pan can De used
for other purposes.

Observations in a Belgian City.

Observations in Belgian City.
One night shortly before I left this
city, our airmen raided the place. I
didn't venture out of the house at the
time, but the next night 1 thought I
would 60 out and see what damage
had been done.
When it became dark I left the
house accordingly and mixed with the
crowd, which consisted largely Of Ger
mans. went from one place to an
other to see what our "strafflng" had
accomplished. Naturally avoided
speaking to anyone. If man or
woman appeared about to speak to me,
l just turned my head and looked or
walked away In some other direction.
I must have been taken for an I'M
social sort of individual good many
times, and II had encountered the
same person twice suppose my con-
duct might have aroused suspicion.
had ffrst-class observation Of the
damage that was really done by our
bombs One bomb had landed very
near the main railroad station and If
1t had been only thirty yards nearer
would have completely demolished 1t.
As the station was undoubtedly our
airman's objective was very much
impressed with the accuracy Of his
aim. 1t Is by no means an easy thing
to hit building from the air when
you are going at anywhere from fifty
to one hundred miles an hour and are
being shot at from beneath from q
dozen different angles-unless, Of
course, you are taking one Of those
desperate chances and flying so low
that you cannot very well miss your
mark and the Huns can't very well
miss you either!
I walked by the station and mingled
with the crowds which stood in the
entrances. They paid no more at
tention to me than they did to real Bel
gians, and the fact that the lights
were all out in this city at night made
it impossible anyway for anyone to
get as good look at me as If 1t had
been light.
During the time that I was in this
city suppose / wandered from one
end Of 1t to the other. In one place,
where the German staff had its head
quarters, huge German flag hung
from the window, and I think l would
have given ten years Of my life to
have stolen it. Even IL I could have
pulled 1t down, however, it would have
been impossible for me to have con-
cealed it. and to have carried it away

centlmeS. Inc smallest cnange mao
was two-mark paper bill.
Apparently the German officers We're
similarly fixed and when they offered
their bill to the waiter, he handed 1t
back to them with remark which /
took to mean that he couldn't make
change.
Right there was in Quandary. To
offer him my bill after he had just
told the officers he didn't have change
would have seemed strange. and yet
couldn't explain to him that l was In
the same boat and he would have to
come to me again later. The only
thing to do, therefore, was to offer
him the bill as though hadn't heard
or noticed what had happened with
the Germans, and I did so. He said
the same thing to me as he had said
to the officers, perhaps little more
sharply, and gave me back the bill.
Later on, he returned to the table with
handful Of change and we closed the
transaction. 1 gave him 25 centimes
as tip had never yet been to
place where it was necessary to talk
to do that.
During my first half hour in that
theatre. to say was or pins and
needles is to express my feelings
mildly. The truth of the matter is 1
was never so uneasy in my life. Every
minute seemed like an hour, and a
dozen times I was on the point of get
ting up and leaving. There were al
together too many soldiers in the place
to suit me, and when the German of
flcers seated themselves right at my
table l thought that was about all
could stand. AS it was, however, the
lights went out shortly afterwards and
in the dark felt considerably easier.
After the first picture, when the
lights went up again, | had regained
my composure considerably and took
advantage Of the opportunity to study
the various types of people in the
place.
From my seat I had splendid
chance to see them all. At one table
there was German medical corps Of
ficer with three Red Cross nurses.
That was the only time I had ever
seen a German nurse, for when was
in the hospital had seen only men
orderlies. Nurses didn't work so near
the first line trenches.
The German soldiers at the different
tables were very quiet and orderly.

hilarity or rough-housing Of any kind.
As I sat there, within arms reach
of those German officers and realized
what they would have given to know
what chance they had to capture an
escaped British officer, could hardly
help smiling to myself, but when l
thought Of the big risk was taking,
more or less unnecessarily, began to
wonder whether had not acted fool
ishly In undertaking it.
Nevertheless, the evening passed of
uneventfully and when the show was
over I mixed with the crowd and dis
