RED CROSS FEEDS AL SATlANS
Three Thousand Who Escaped in First
Weeks Of War Are Being
Cared For.

Washington.-Thre thousand Loyal
Alsatians who escaped across the from
tier in the first weeks Of the war when
the battle line swayed back and forth
across southern Alsace, are now being
fed with American food They are
quartered in nineteen villages safe or
the French side of the war zone where
American troops are now stationed.
They lost all their property three
years ago and what little money they
had was soon exhausted. With the in.
creasing cost of living and the inability
Of their French neighbors to continue
to help them, their situation became
desperate. In answer to the appeal
from French societies interested in
them, the American Red Cross has just
shipped food to the nineteen villages to
provide half the daily rations of these
5000 Alsatians for ten months.
The shipment included 5000 pounds
Of condensed milk, 1920 pounds OF
flour, LOO pounds of sugar. 6,00G
pounds of dried peas, 1900 pounds OF
rice and 5000 pounds Of timed meat

Best Soldiers at Front.

Milwaukee, Aug. 6.-The cream Of
WfscOnsin's soldiers, the members Of
the Thirty-secOnd division, are now
fighting on the ReimS- SCISSORS front.
The Thirty second division is made up
almost entirely Of former Wisconsin
National Guardsmen who have trained
for years at Camp DOublaS. This d.
vision Of men are all enlisted. The
only drafted men in the regiment are,
those who were taken to fill up the va
vances in the various companies.
When war was declared members Of
the National Guard were at once called
out and sent to Camp Douglas. The
training at this camp was begun about
June I, 1917. When it was found that
Camp Douglas could not hold all the
men q separate camp was established
at Waco Tex. The Wisconsin men be-
gan entraining for Camp Macarthur
August II 1917 and on this day the last
Wisconsin Guardsmen entered Camp
Douglas. The transferring to the Tex
as camp was continued until the latter
part Of October.

Utilize THE GARBAGE
Food Administration Says Big
Saving Can Be Made.
Housekeepers Urged to Keep Kitchen
and Table Refuse Separate
F rom Other Waste.

Westinghouse campaign for the
utilization of garbage has been inaugu-
rated by the United States food ad-
ministration, which is advising all state
administrators to spread garbage
utilization propaganda through their
territory and urge upon housekeepers
the necessity for keeping garbage
(kitchen and table refuse) in a sepa-
rate container from other house
refuse.
Figures and statistics issued by the
food administration show that in one
ten of garbage there is sufficient
glycerin to make the explosive charge
for IA 75-millimeter shells, enough
''fatty acid" to manufacture rs pounds
Of soap, fertilizer elements to grow
eight bushels of wheat and a score Of
other valuable materials essential in
the manufacture of munitions.
It is also pointed out that "A cities
Of over 100000 are not utilizing gar
bage and that the combined popula-
ton, which is estimated to be over
100000, is wasting 100000 pounds
of nitroglycerin and 100000 r.
ounce cakes of soap besides 10000 tons
Of tankage, which contains fertilizer
elements sufficient to produce a 3,OOO,-
600 bushel wheat crop. The value Of
this loss of materials is estimated at
S5,OO0,OO0
In % cities where there are garbage
utilization plants the figures show that
a combined population Of 100000
people are utilizing these products, to
the value of over $11, 100000 annually,
and that a large percentage Of this
saving is being directly used by the
government in munition making.
But in these % cities, or most Of
them, large amounts of garbage are
destroyed by burning or made useless
by being mixed with other wastes.
If in these % cities the garbage was
"kept clean" or free from bottles, tin
cans, crockery and other foreign mat
ter, the saving to the governments
would be many million dollars more.
The responsibility devolves upon the
shoulders Of the housewife, who is
urged to see that nothing but garbage
goes into the garbage pail. Other
house refuse has a value but it's value
is lost and the value of the garbage
is lost if refuse and garbage are mixed.

BABY BEETS

The following recipe for canning
baby beets is applicable to carrots.
Only young, tender beets should be
canned to get a high quality product.
The best variety for canning is the
Detroit.
Sort the beets, putting uniform sizes
together. Cut the stems off, but be
careful not to cut off too closely or
break the root. This will cause loss of
juice, color and flavor. Boil in an en-
ameled pan until three-fourths done.
peel, pack hot in layers in previously
boiled jars, fitting the second layer into
the spaces left by the first layer and
repeating. Cover with clear hot wa
ter; partially seal the jars and boil
them in a water bath for one hour con-
tinuouSly, counting from the time the
water boils again around the jars.
Do not allow cold water to touch
the beets after they have been cooked.
If beets are packed in tin the cans
used must be inside-lacquered. Beets
ia inch in diameter and over should
be cut or sliced before packing into
jars. When a steam-pressure Gamer
is used, process pints 80 minutes I'M
der five pounds steam pressure.-Unlt-

PEAS

Green peas are among the most diff
fcult vegetables to can at home. Alb
solute cleanliness, quick work, atten-
ton to every detail, are essentials to
success. Only young and very freshly
gathered peas should be canned. Peas
are best gathered in the early morning
when cool. Work rapidly from the mo-
not stand after being shelled. Get
them into the previously boiled jars as
rapidly as possible. Shell and sort,
putting only peas Of the same size and
degree of ripeness together. Do not
use hard, mature peas among tender
ones or big peas with very small ones.
Blanching Clipping into hot water)
is very important. If well done, it pre-
vents cloudy liquor, makes the peas
tender, and also removes some of the
gluey substance which coats them.
Blanch by dipping the shelled peas
in clean cheesecloth sack, into boiling
water one to four minutes, depending
on the age of the peas. Put instantly,
while hot, into cold water, Zone tea
spoonful salt to one quart water) and
remove after about 80 seconds.
Drain and pack to within one-half
inch Of the top Of the previously boiled
jar. If the jar is filed too full, few
peas at the top may burst and make
the liquor cloudy. Add seasoning
Zone third level teaspoonful salt and
two-thirds level teaspoonful sugar to
the quartz and fill with hot water and
paddle we'll to remove all air bubbles.
Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pints 45
minutes under pressure Of 10 pounds.
Seal Immediately, cool in a draft-free
place. When cold test for leaks, and
store in a cool, dark, dry place.
If the intermittent boiling process is
used, boil for 80 minutes on the first
day, and 60 minutes On the second and
third days. Before each subsequent
boiling the covers must be lOosened,
and after each boiling the covers must
be securely frightened to make sealing
complete. Cool, test for leaks and
store.
If single-period boiling process Is
used, place jars in the Gamer and boil
for at least three hours. Seal, cool,
