Millions of Bushels of Good Food
Will Be Lost Unless Con-
sumed Quickly.
MADE A DUTY AND PLEASURE
Some Menus Worked Out by Experts
Without Allowing Them to Be-
come notonous-others Are
Easily obtalnable.

Do you know that there are mil
lions of bushels Of potatoes in the
United States in excess of the usual
supply at this time Of year, and that,
unless people generally eat more pota-
toes than they ordinarily do, millions
of bushels of good food will be lost
at a time when nearly the whole world
Is suffering for food? Potatoes are
bulky and heavy and cannot well be
transported over seas. The United
States must eat it's own potatoes and
release other foods for export.
Eating potatoes every day Is duty
and eating potatoes every meal can
be made a pleasure. Following are
some recipes, worked out by the cook
ing experts of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, covering
every meal for two days. Similar
recipes, both economical and palatable,
have been worked out covering every
meal for week.

and chopped parsley. Beat the whites
until stiff and fold into the potato
mixture. Put into a well-oiled frying
holyn In
Then turn and fold on hot platter.

President Wilson Endorses
Child Welfare Drive

In a letter to the Secretary OF
Labor, President Wilson has sig
nifed his cordial approval OF the
plans for the Children's Year to
be carried out by the Chlldren's
Bureau, and the Women's Com
mittee of the Council ot Nation
al Defense. The text of the presl-
dental endorsement is as fol-
lows:
The White House,
Washington.
To the Secretary of Labor,
My dear Mr.. Secretary:
Next to the duty of doing every
thing possible for the soldiers at
the front, there could be. it seems
to me, no more patriotic duty
than that of protecting the chill
dren, who constitute one-thlrd OF
our population.
The success of the efforts
made in England in behalf of the
children is evidenced by the fact
that the..infant death rate in Eng
land for the second year of the
war was the lowest in the his
tory. Attention is now being
given to education and labor com
ditions TO. children by the legis'
latures of both France and Eng
land, showing that the conviction
among the Allies is that the
protection of childhood is essen
tial to winning the war.
| am very glad that the same
processes are being set afoot in
this country, and heartily ap'
prove the plan of the Children s
Bureau and the Woman's Com.
mittee of the Council of Nationa
Defense for making the second
year Of the war one Of united
activity on behalf Of children and
in that sense a children's year.
l trust that the year will not
only see the goal reached Of saw
ing one hundred thousand lives
of infants and young children,
but that the work may SO sue
cessfully develop as to set up
certain irreducible minimum
standards for the health. educa.
ton and work Of the American
child.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
