MILK AND BABIES

That babies and little children are directly af-
fected by the decreased sale of milk reported by
dealers in American cities is illustrated by find
ings for Baltimore recently reported by the
Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor.
Of 756 Baltimore children between 2 and years
of age, only 29 per cent are now having fresh
milk to drink as against 60 per cent year ago.
And only 20, or less than per cent of the chill
dren studied, are having as much as three cups
day.
With the babies under 2, the Childrens Bureau
says the situation is a little less serious Appar-
emily their needs are more generally understood
than the needs of the child over years.
Most serious is the general substitution in the
children's diet of tea and coffee Of the SIS
children who are not drinking milk, 81 per cent
have substituted tea and coffee, "a per cent are
sharing the family diet" which may or may not
include tea or Coffee or milk in other foods
Some mothers seem to realize that milk must
be provided for their children at whatever COST or
sacrifice; others who can better afford to buy
milk do not understand it's Importance and let
their children go without it.
The foreign born mothers, although their in
comes are slightly lower than the incomes of
the native white mothers have more generally
than any other group continued to buy milk

Tells Of Y. M. C. A. Work.

J. T. Adams received letter this
week from his son-in-law, in London,
who is Auditor Of Disbursements for
the Y. M C. A., and what he says
should prove beyond doubt that
all money and supplies given to the
Y. M. C. A. are turned over directly
to the soldier boys without cent of
charge He says that everything
passes thru his hands and he knows
that it is properly used and distri-
buted. He says: "All vouchers for
payment of funds must pass thru my
hands so that I can keep in touch
with the work being done and with
the splendid men who are doing it.
We are constantly increasing our
activities and it would do you good
to see how the brave lads are being
cared for here. No soldier or sailor
need go wrong for the want of good
surroundings and opportunities for
clean sport and it does us good to
know that they appreciate our work
for them, by their letters and ex-
pressions of pleasure"

lions. Aug. Schneider, of West
brook, Mimi, was found to have
$50 blu. of wheat still stored in this
granary. The wheat was marketed
this week and to prevent further &C
ton by the food administration,
Schneider was ordered to buy $40
worth of war saving stamps, to don

there and to pay the expenses of

Can Buy Only Two Pounds Of Sugar

OeSA Why - WV AOAAAAo VI NNScsA
Purchases of sugar for regular
household purposes other than can
ming are hereafter limited to two
pounds for each purchase in the city
and five pounds for each purchase in
rural communities, in an order is
sued by the state food administra-
ton this week. Previous to this
time purchases of sugar were per-
mitted in quantities of five pounds
in the city and 10 pounds in rural
communities. Under the order the
ruling regarding sugar consumption
is not changed and the per capita
consumption per month should be
not more than pounds. The order
does not refer to sugar for canning
purposes and it should be understood
that this remains the same as pre-
viously-sugar may be purchased in
lots of Is pounds for canning and
preserving only.

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR
BIG CROP THIS YEAR
Shortage Of Transient Labor Puts it
Up to City Men to
Help

The prospects are good at present
for the largest crop in the history of
Minnesota and Stevens county and
the indications are that the yields of
straw and grain will be very heavy
and will take an unusual large
amount of labor to care for the
grain and save the crops now grow
ing.
Owing to the large amount of war
work going on in the cities and the
shortage of labor which the govern
ment needs to meet the pressing de-
mands, it will be impossible to rely
upon anything but small portion
of the transient labor which has
usually been available for harvesting
operations. This coupled with the
fact that so many men have been

RHUBARB GREAT HELP
FOR FOOD QUESTION
Can Be Used in Many Ways Either
Alone or With Other
Fruits

One of the food specialists en-
ployed by the United States depart
ment of agriculture is an enthusiast
on rhubarb and it's many uses. In
these days of high prices and food
shortage the women will welcome
any suggestion which will enable
them to get cheap and tasty food and
rhubarb' is a great help in this re-
spect.
The food specialist not only dem
onstrates the use of rhubarb in the
departmental kitchens and elsewhere,
but she also grows it on her own
garden and prepares it in her own
kitchen for use by her own family.
Below is her statement of some of
the excellent uses she finds for it:
IT always hail with delight the
first tender stalks of rhubarb that
grow in my garden. They are the
advance guard of so many good
things in the way of fresh fruits and
vegetables that the spring and sum-
mer bring to us.
Even the back yard or city garden
can have it's clup of rhubarb. I find
it one of the most useful plants in
my garden. By cutting out the
bloom stalk before it natures and
pulling the stalks often I have good
rhubarb all summer. If neglected
too long the leaf becomes woody, but
the young leaves in the center Of the
crown will be tender and usuable all
summer The leaf area should not be
reduced too much by harvesting, as
it will weaken the root and reduce
the harvest the following year.
Even when fruits come I do not for
get the rhubarb, and in preserving
time it repays me for my care by
saving me money.
Strawberries and raspberries are
usually expensive to buy by the crate
for preserving, but I make preserves,
using from one third to one-half by
weight of rhubarb. Both raspberries
and strawberries have decided
flavor, so that the rhubarb is - not
noticeable. l allow the rhubarb to
cook down until fairly concentrated
before adding the berries. The result
is delicious jam or preserve.
From time to time cut the rhu-
barb and, if it is not wanted for i'm
mediate use, put up few cans for
winter. I have kept some very sue
caccf1111v NV outline into hole - ~,
pieces, packing in jars and filing to
overlooking with cold water, then
sealing the jars as usual.
Later in the summer I make a
few jars Of rhubarb conserve, cook
ing the rhubarb with sugar until
concentrated, then adding nuts and
raisins.

RED CROSS WORK Is
VIEWED In NEW LIGHT
Sending Out Of "Allotments" Means
Distinct Call to Service of
Military Value

AC OLSNChS SOuAty OAoPSNA AS"~
received an allotment Of $50 pairs of
socks per month for the months of
July and August. In garments and
refugee work, the allotment for the
two months is SO pajamas, SO band
age foot socks, SO capes, so f4-year
boys shirts and 200 12-year boys
summer suits.
In surgical dressings, the allot-
ment for July and August is 1000
gauze wipes, 1000 gauze sponges,
600 oakum pads, 200 large split ir-
rigation pads:
The Hancock branch will aid in
flling the surgical dressings allot-
ment, and the other branches and
Hancock will help with the allotment
of refugee and hospital garments
and socks.
These a1lotments of Red Cross
work emphasize in new way the
Importance of Red Cross work in as
sisting the government. The men at
the head of the work in France,
italy, ETC., report their needs to the
national headquarters, the national
headquarters apportions the work to
the several divisions, and the North
ern Division in turn allots it to the
various chapters, and the Stevens
County Chapter to it's branches and
auxiliaries.
If any unit fails to do its part,
then other units must do more than
their part, or the work will suffer.
There is somewhat of an impress
sion that the refugee work among
the civil population in France is not
important, but Mr.. Davidson says
that this work is second to none.
1t is we'll known that Germany
gained it's great victory in Italy last
year by destroying the morale of the
Italian troops by circulating stories
of the suffering of the Italian peo-
pie, at home, and has repeatedly
tried to undermine French morale by
the same means. Owing to the work
of the American Red Cross, the
French soldiers are assured that their
families are not suffering, and that
ulSduS LudI dhCC . hIAAAI1AS
strength is not impaired by the Ger
man propaganda. The French have
faced the Germans for four years
and will continue to do so if assured
that their families will not suffer.
Of the 50 districts of France, the
Red Cross now has its work thoroly
organized in 81 districts.
A conference of the Stevens Coun-
ty Chapter and it's branches was held
on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the
matter of enlisting more members
in helping to turn out the heavy al
lotments that are coming. Every
branch was represented and agreed
to take it's share Of the work, and
it was also decided that each branch
should organize auxiliaries in the
several school districts and thus
reach every possible worker in the
county. This organization work
will be taken up at once.
Mrs F. A. Hancock spoke of the
enormous amount of work entailed
in keeping the correct addresses of
the boys in the service, and it was
arranged that each branch should
have committee to assist her.
