ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Gard for Your Kitchen.

The States Relations service of the
United States department of agricul-
ture has recently issued "a Guide in
Baking" The whole thing is printed
on a card, ten by five and a half
inches, suitable to hang on the kitchen
wall. On 1t are the measurements of
flour. The weights and measures were
tested in the office of Home Economics.
The table, adhered to, will enable the
housewife to make good griddle cakes,
mullins, cakes, cookies, drop biscuits
and nut or raisin bread without using
any wheat flour.
Whatever recipes she has used sue
cessfully with wheat flour, she may
continue to use successfully with SUBJ
stItutes for wheat flour. For instance,
the table shows that, if one cup of
wheat flour was used in a certain
recipe and 1t is desired to substitute
barley flour, one and three-eighths
cups will be necessary, while all the
other ingredients remain as in the old
recipe. A number of good combina-
tions are worked out. By mixing two
of the substitutes as indicated, the
housewife will get better results than
If she used one substitute. AT the
bottom of the card are half dozen
Cautions" aids in baking with SUBJ
stitute flours that have been carefully
worked out by experts. A copy of the
card may be had from the States Re-
fations service, Department of agricul-
ture, Washington, d. G.

PLANNING the Kitchen.

In planning a new home or remod-
cling an old one it should always be
borne in mind that the placing of the
stove, sink and work table in such
u way as to secure the advantages OF
a compact workshop will save the
housekeeper many steps in the tasks
of the kitchen. Time and energy Will
also be saved If the shelves, cup
boards and drawers are located near
the place where the supplies or equip
ment which they are to contain are
to be used, and they will be even more
convenient If they are so planned that
their contents may be easily and
quickly removed or replaced. In Sc
Iecting the equipment only that which
is most convenient and durable should
be purchased. AS in any well-regu-
lated workshop, all the equipment nee
essary for the convenience of the
worker should be supplied, but that
equipment should be Installed first OF
all which will be used most often.

LIVE OUT OF GARDEN.

Live in the garden. If you like.
but by all means live out of the
garden.
Every time you take a meal
out of your own garden, you
save the equivalent in other
foods to be used In winning the
war.
That is one side of 1t.
Every time you take a meal
out of your own garden you
save money-good, hard money
that can be used for any one Of
score of things that would
make the family more comforta-
ble-or for investment in Lib
erty bonds, Thrift stamps and
safety.
: That's the other ride.
And the bedrock bottom OF
1t is that you have better,
more wholesome summer meal
than If you had gone to market
and bought a lot of meat and
stuff.
Make the most of the home
garden. Study 1t.
Maybe you already know all
of the delicious ways in which
all sorts of garden truck can be
prepared for the table. II you
do, be a philanthropist. Impart
some of your knowledge to your
nelghbor. If you do not, get the
information that the United
States Department of agrtcul-
! ture has gathered on that sub
ject and apply 1t.

Inuerted Point of View.

There was rush of wind, a cloud OF
dust, and the car rushed on, leaving
the old gentleman sprawling in the
roadway. He picked himself up and
dashed up to a policeman, yelling ex-
citedly:
"That motorcar knocked me down !!
The policeman took out business
like notebook and said:
Did you notice the number, sir?'
"Yes," said the injured one. 1T
was number &C."
Just then another policeman. who
had seen the accident. came hurrying
up and said:
mo, mol The numbers 80. This
gentleman was standing on his head
when he noticed it !"

PoINcAlRE PRAISES AMERICANS
President of France Says Allies are
Sure to Win.

Paris, June 14.-On the anniversary
of the arrival of American troops in
France President Poincare dispatched
a message to President Wilson ex-
pressing his admiration at the mag
nificent American effort and extend
ing his congratulations.
"The troops of the allies are living
in the most difficult hours of the war"
the message said. "The rapid forma-
ton of new American units is sure to
restore the balance. Then the allies
will take decisive revenge and found
the peace principles you have laid
down. making certain the reign of
right and liberty among nations"
Poincare also wired General Perish
ing, congratulating him upon the ad'
mirable fighting qualities displayed by
the American troops and wishing him
continued success.

Work That Will Pass.

Some young people are satisfied II
they are doing work that will pass"
They are conscious of its defects, but
If these are passed over without a
challenge. they feel that they have
done well enough. That is mistake.
We cannot be perfect, but we should
not be satisfied with imperfections.
Set your standard at the highest. See
that nothing passes you that does not
represent your best.-Girls' Compan-

MAKING MOST OF
ALL VEGETABLES
Families With Backyard Gar
dens Will Need to Do Little
Buying in the Markets.
PRACTICAL HINTS ARE GIVEN
One of the Safest Rules for Keeping
Well Is to Eat Variety of Food
Starch and Sugar Valuable
as Fuel Foods.

All over the country war gardens
have been planted to raise food to
"help halt the Hun"
This summer millions of cans of veg
etables will be put up by canneries
and housewives for winter use, but
everyone should have chance to eat
the fresh vegetables while they are at
their best. If you have more than
you can use now, sell them to your less
fortunate neighbor who has no garden.
What can't be used fresh, can for
winter.
One of the safest rules for keeping
we'll is to eat variety of food. Veg
,etables are a great help in giving va
riety to your meals.
Eat vegetables every day; many are
mild laxatives and they are better than
medicine.
Use many kinds and lots of them.
Let them take the place of part of the
meat and bread you are using today.
Don't think that because vegetables
contain so much water they are not
good food. They are one of the most
valuable kinds of food we have. Veg
etables have their own particular part
in the diet which neither meats nor
cereals nor fruits nor sweets can play.
Part That Vegetables Play.
They are appetizers. Their delicious
havors stimulate digestion.
They furnish fuel and protein. Veg
etables, such as sweet potatoes,
green lima beans, green corn, white
potatoes. green peas, onions, beets,
carrots and squash contain enough
starch and sugar to make them valu-
able as fuel foods. Some of these are
protein foods, too.
They help prevent constipation.
The woody part of vegetables lis val
liable to give bulk to the food. For
very small children 1t should be re-
moved by rubbing the cooked vegeta-
BILE through a sieve, but grown per-
son of sound digestion needs some OF
this woody portion. Don't cut out all
the hard part from asparagus and such
foods. The mild acid in such vege-
tables as tomotoes has some laxative
effect.
Minerals Are Needed.
They furnish mineral matter. This
IS one of the most important parts
that vegetables play in the diet. With
out small amounts of mineral salts no
part of the body can be built; they
are needed in nerves, brain, bone,
blood and muscles. Even after growth
these minerals must be furnished to
replace the parts Of the body used up
by exercise. They have an important
part in keeping the different parts of
the body working smoothly. Eat a
variety of vegetables to furnish these
much-needed minerals.
They furnish other important food
constituents about which we know
but little as yet. We do know, how
ever, that these substances play an
important part in promoting growth in
the young and bodily well-being for
everyone through life.
Eat the green leaf vegetables, let
tuce, cabbage, caulifiower, Swiss chard,
collards, Brussels sprouts, celery and
onions. They are especially rich in
these growth-promoting food constitu-
ents. Don't throw away your beet tops.
onion tops, turnip tops and radish
tsps Serve them for greens.

lers- Cotterets forest, and 10000 OF
them were lost, said an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Paris.
German forces which succeeded in
crossing the Matz river to the west
of the Disc, on the battle front south
of Noyon, held their positionJ there
for but q brief period. French troops,
counter-attacking the enemy, have
hurled him back to the north bank OF
the river and checked his advance to-
ward Compiegne.
The news from the scene of the
tremendous struggle, as told in off
cial statements, shows that on the
fields west of the Oise the Germans
have come to halt for the present at
least.
East of the Oise the French have
withdrawn their lines south of the
ourscamp and Carlepont forests, but
are protecting the Laigue forest
along a line which is very strong.
This change in the line was expected
since the Germans occupied Ribe-
court, on the west bank OF the Disc.
Only one attempt apparently was
made by the enemy Thursday to bet
ter his positions near Montdidier.
Here he launched violent counter
attack from Courcelles the north
of Mery-a front of about mile and
a half-but was badly cut up by the
fire of the allied guns and forced to
retreat, leaving numerous dead and
wounded on the field.
In the Flanders salient the British
and French have been active. The
former have improved their positions
near Me-ris, on the western angle OF
the battle line there, while the French
have extended their lines near Ypres.
The Germans again have endeavored
to force the Americans from positions
captured northwest of Chateau Thier-
ry, but again met with defeat and the
loss of numerous men.
