In Avoiding Waste-Meals sug-
assted to Meet Food Admlnis-
tratIon's Requlremsnts.'

II win pay you, Mrs. Housekeeper,
to nt down for an hour each week
and spend the time in planning your
weeks menus in advance. Especially
at this time when all are striving to
conserve food. you will find a definite
schedule a great help in avoiding
waste.
Here are some menus for a week
from q woman who believes in a work
ing schedule for her household The
meals are carefully planned to meet,
first of all, the food administrations
requirements, using substitutes for
wheat, meat, fat, and sugar. and they
show also how little careful plan
ming can save the time and labor of
the busy housewife. Features Of the
menus are the breadless meals and
"Quick breads" (muffins, etc.) made
from other grains to save wheat. and
the use of meat substitutes and savory
dishes which call for little meat.
The meals suggested are all simple
and are planned to meet the needs Of
family of four, consisting OF two
adults and two children. None Of the
menus are inflexible but could easily
be varied to meet changing conditions.
You can use these as guides In plan
ming your family meals.
The recipes for most of the dishes
given in the accompanying menus are
published in the United States Food

GREAT DEMAND FOR POPCORN

Exhausted Reserve Supply In
the United States.

The enormous increase In demand
and short crop last year has almost
completely exhausted the reserve sup
ply of popcorn in the United States.
In previous years the reserve has al
ways been maintained. In 1915 the
popcorn raiser sold his 1915 crop. In
1915 he sold his 1914 crop, etc. But
now that reserve is gone. and the 1917
crop is on the 1918 market months be-
fore It would be marketed normally.
And popcorn that usually brought two
cents per pound in the field two years
ago is now bringing five and six cents.

Goldfish balls were made Saturday
night, thus utilizing some mashed po-

Twice the quantity of hominy grits
required were cooked in the double

day to make the apricot-hominy seal
lop. In the same way enough apples
were baked for two meals Corn sirup
was used to sweeten the baked apples
and stewed fruit in place Of sugar.
The stock from boiling the chicken
served as the basis for chicken soup

leftover vegetables used for the vege-

Crop rotation is an essential practice
whether or not 1t is necessary in the
control of any plant maladies. There
are numerous fungous diseases which
appear year after year on the same
field. Some Of them, such as clubroot
of cabbage, are strictly soil parasites
and cannot be controlled by any fun
gicide. About the only method left to
get rid of the organisms is to starve
them out, and this can be done only
by a well-planned system of crop ro-

Cabbage diseases which have been
known to destroy practically entire
crops are preventable In the main by
simple methods Of plant sanitation.
Crop rotation 10 one Of the chief foes
Of these diseases. Rotations should be
practiced, avoiding crops which belong
to the cabbage family, such as cauli-
flower. turnips. Brussels sprouts, and
kale. Keep down mustard and weeds
which harbor cabbage pests. Drainage
water and refuse from diseased cab
bage fields may carry infection. AZ will

fore planting to prevent black-rot and

free use Of lime and by setting healthy
plants.
How Diseases Are Spread.
Fungoqs and bacterial diseases are
carried from one place to another by
various means. such as insects, In
fected seed, transplanting from an In
fected seed bed to the field, drainage
water, cabbage refuse and stable ma
nure, farm animals and tools. and
wind. In view of these facts the chief
aim Of the farmer should be to pre-
vent, If possible, the introduction and
distribution Of destructive diseases on
his farm. In order to accomplish this,
several precautions should be observed,
Of which the more important are the
disinfection of seed, the location and
care Of the seed bed, and crop rotation.
To disinfect seed. use one ounce Of
formaldehyde t4O per cent) to two
gallons of water, or one teaspoonful
to a teacupful Of water. Soak the
seed for 20 minutes in this solution,

After fighting Of the most terrific na-
ture, the British and French lines are
still intact and the enemy has lost
terribly in his repeated assaults
The objective of the fighting that
is now going on is the capture Of
Ypres, where since 1914 the British
have held their positions. Two years
ago the allied lines were carried for
ward and tho salient in front of the
city was wiped out, but from these
positions the British retired a week
ago to the trenches where they stood
during the terrific fighting in the
spring of 1915, when they stopped the
Germans in their first drive for the
channel ports.
The present battle opened with .
bombardment of the British and
French lines from Meteren to Voorme-
ssele, a distance of twelve miles. Then
came reports Of spread Of the fight
ing around the curve in the line from
Ypres until the Belgian armies north
Of the city were involved.
Field Marshal Haig's official report,
anxiously awaited, brought the news
that the utmost efforts of the Germans
had been fruitless all along the line.
The field marshal's statement said
that the Teutons had paid great
price and had gained virtually nothing.
The battle still continues along this
front, but there is little indication that
an immediate withdrawal from Ypres
is contemplated by the allies, at least
not before terrific enemy losses.
The only point at which the Ger
mans made any gains was on the
hill section of the front back of Kem-
mel hill, where the French are stand

able to occupy portions Of the line.
but from the greater part of these
they were driven out by the French,
who re-established their defenses.
Frontal attacks on Ypres would
seem to indicate that there Is little
confidence IL the German general
staff that the Ypres positions can be
outflanked from the south.

the ages of ten to eighteen, and any
one wishing to enroll may apply for
enrolment cards from one of the
supervisors. This work covers the

BRITISH AID FOR
U.S.. SOLDIER BOYS
Queen Backs Project to Send Food
and Luxuries to Men at Front


LONDON-A committee of Eng
fish and Americans has been formed
with Queen Alexandra as patroness
to provide home comforts for Ameri-
can soldiers at the front. The chief
enterprise of the committee will be
sending parcels of food and Injuries
which the soldiers cannot obtain at
canteens and will be along lines sim
liar to the, work of committees which
privide for British soldiers.
The difficulties of transport from
America prevent Americans from re-
ceiving parcels from home as extern
sively as do the British soldiers.
Queen Alexandra has expressed
her approval of the plan in letter
to Chairman Sir Charles Walston, in
which she wrote:
"The scheme to provide parcels
for the splendid American fighting
men at the front, | think, is first
rate. AS their relatives and friends
are so far away, let us take their
places. 1t will give me the greatest
pleasure to become patroness of such
an organization, and / will do my
best to help it,"
