San Francisco has a particularly
active information bureau for foreign
born people, one of it's efforts has
been to protect the immigrants
against fraud in connection with their
war obliations Notices have been
published in many languages, giving
the most specific information about
draft registration, enlistment, war
risk insurance, and contribution to
war funds.
In Connecticut the defense councils
have done part of their Am Cricaniza-
ton work through committees COM
posed of leading representatives Of the
foreign groups. A mum Der of Jewish
rabbits and influential citizens among
the foreign born have served on these
organizations. In Rhode Island the
chief aim has been to interest aliens
in naturalization and get them to
take out their papers. Minnesota
has sent out Finnish speakers to talk
to the Finnish population in their own
language and explain the meaning
and purposes of this war for democ-
racy. In Illinois a survey was made Of
the foreign groups in every county of
the state, in order to obtain data as

TO THE FISHERMEN OF
LEXINGTON

This department has been anxious
to encourage catching of non game
fish everywhere by the people, so as
to help our war food supply. 1t has
even been willing to place extra lib
eral construction on the laws on be-
half of those catching fish, but at
tempt has been made to take advan-
tage of such liberality.
Therefore all citizens are warn
ed that they had best comply with the
laws strictly as written, and keep all
devices, large or small, out of all
streams from Saturday evening at
Sunset until the next Wednesday
morning at Sunrise Of each week.
Meantime the department is endea
voring to get suspension of the
trapping laws for non-game fish sus
pended in the muddy streams of the

TRAVELETTE


FORT OMAHA.
TORT OMAHA. Neb-. is a center of
L activity in the development Of the
military balloon in this country.
A balloon field was established
there by the war department many
years ago: but in 1910 the balloon
was officially abandoned and the
field at Fort Omaha shared its fate
For a long time, the field and its de-
caying equipment were a monument to
an industry that had come to nothing.
Men believed that the airplane had
definitely and permanently supplant-
ed the balloon as means Of travelling
through the air.
Not until a couple of years ago was
the balloon again taken into consid-
Grafton by our war department. Its
rapid development as means OF di-
recting fire on the western front, and
the need for some such stable means
of patroling the coastline from a high
elevation, brought 1t back to the at
tention Of military experts.
A small detachment of officers and
men was sent to Fort Omaha, and the
long deserted field quickly became a
scene Of intense activity again, and
also an object OF much popular inter-
est. For the first gasbags made for
the war department proved extremely
unreliable. Since then, however, the
captive balloon has become one OF the
most dependable instruments Of mod
ern warfare.

USES FOR WAVED PAPER
WRAPPERS.

One housekeeper says that she
wonders how she ever managed
without the waxed paper wrappers,
which come around much of the
bread that one buys nowadays: she
has found so many uses for them.
She uses them constantly for cover
ing the ice, spreading the separate
pieces on, as she gets them, until
she has formed substantial
blanket. which she considers the
most satisfactory protection she has
ever found. Then she often uses
them TO wrap about solid food, be-
fore putting it in the lower part OF
the box, thus saving the use of a
dish and protecting it from the odor
OF other food placed close tc It. For
instance, she wraps meat in one of
these waxed papers, and thus can
fold il into a much smaller portion
of space than il would occupy, If
placed on a platter; a sliced egg
plant may be cared for in this way,
as well as any number of other
vegetables. OF course. il is always
valuable to use around sandwiches
or fruit, in preparing luncheons for
school children, where heavy
paper is necessary. Lastly, this
housekeeper finds that the wrappers
are excellent for waxing irons, as
they do not give out more than
sufficient amount of grease at a
time.

Apples! Apples!

Most people know apples are
healthful. But a great many do
not know that they are among the
most nutritious OF fruits and that
their value in this way is higher
than that Of many every day foods

apples has the food value OF 290
calOries. Translated into everyday
terms this means that apples have
about three fourths the nutritive
value OF potatoes. and as every one
knows. potatoes are a solid and de
pendable food
Without realizing the real food

have nevertheless eaten them freely
