MADE.IN.GERMANY LIES
Circulated IN CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cOrding to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con.
troller by the United States food adj
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
OF the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, sach as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen t.
and pass on such stories. each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts Of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent Bit BY bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which n going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"

Americas great corn crop, exceed.
Ing 5000, 900, 900 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal.
housewives are beginning to realize.
It contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state Of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life Indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time. and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels Of corn for every American.
This quantity Is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main.
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as 1t served as
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds Of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind Of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound Of
wheat saved in America means pound
nf wheat released for shipment to the
cations with which America Is aSSOci.

Did you ever hear Of the "wuffie
BIRD? Well. neither had one Of the
wagoners Of our, train until the other
evening out at the range camp. A pc
'culiar bird note was heard in a near
by tree and this lover Of nature in
her visible forms expressed a desire
to see the bird.
why. that's a wufie bird. first one
I've heard in years." said one of the
boys, and he added: You can catch
them with light. and they are beau
ties" Some time later. when the boys
slipped away from him. the listening
wagner was still holding open
"snipe" sack with q light back Of 1t,
waiting for birdie to come, and the
plaintive call of taps was -wailing-
through the wildwood Of the Kish-
waukee.

Discipline.

Men beginning their military
training are often prone to look
upon the little things of dis
culinary measures as unimpor-
tant. This is notably the case
with the salute.
Not long ago Brig. Gen.
Nicholson had occasion to repri-
rnand a young man twice within
two days for failure to render a
proper salute. The young man
thought the general was unduly
harsh.
The reason the general had
for being so strict in this mat
ter was to impress upon the SOL
der the absolute necessity of
proper respect for officers. But
more than all else he insists
upon q salute because it teaches
soldier the use of the rowing
eye which enables him to take
is every object on 9 landscape
and give it a proper place in his
military storehouse.
Practice this rowing eye" and
you will miss few important
things and save yourself a lot
ol embarrassing situations, be-
sides putting yourself in a posi-
kion perchance, to rescue your
fellow soldiers from peril.

UphOlds Need of Discipline.

I'm the foregoing case of Private jeff
Cook, Company G, 10th Infantry, SEN
tence is confirmed
I'm view Of the youth of Private Cook
and the fact that his offense seems to
have been wholly free from disloyalty
or conscious disregard Of his duty, I
hereby grant him a full and uncondi-
tional pardon, and direct that he report
to his company for further military
duty.
1.-The needs of discipline in the Army
with propriety impose grave penalties
upon those who imperil the safety Of
their fellows, and endanger their coun-
try's cause by lack of vigilance, or by
attractions of rules in which safety has
been found to rest. l am persuaded,
however, that this young man will take
the restored opportunity Of his forfeited
life as a challenge to devoted service for
the future, and that the soldiers of the
Army Of the United States in France
will realize too keenly the high charac-
ter Of the cause for which they are
fighting and the confidence which their
country reposes in them to permit the
possibility of further danger from any
similar shortcoming."
