URGED ONWARD TO SUCCESS
According to Writer Of Note, Individual
= Winner Is Not Always Entitled
to All Credit.

Mary Roberts Rinehart, writing for
the American Magazine, says:
"Back Of every success there is
some one person, or group Of persons,
unheralded and unsung, to whom
much of the credit is due. Ny husband
has stood sQuarely behind me, always.
His belief in me, his steadiness and
his sanity and his humOr have kept me
going, when, as has happened now and
then-my little world of letters has
shaken under my feet.
II sometimes think, If were advis-
Ing young woman as to career, that
l should say: First pick your hus-
band
at Is impossible to try to tell how l
have attempted to reconcile my pri-
vate life with my public work without
mentioning my husband. Because, aft
er all, it requires two people, a man
and woman, to organize home, and
those two people must be In accord.
It has been a sort of family creed of
ours that we do things together. We
have tried, because of the varied out
side interests that pull hard, to keep
the family life even more intact than
the average. Differing widely as thNy
do, my husbands profession and my
career, we have been compelled to
work apart. But we have relaxed,
rested and played together.
"And this rule holds good for the
family, although am afraid our play
time is over for a while. Not alto
gether. I will not let myself believe
that"

Mixinu Potato Bread.

the possibilities of increasing the to-
tai yield in this country cannot be
estimated. Potatoes are perishable
crOp-cannot be exported to foreign
countries, cannot be carried over from
one season to another. The potatoes
we grow in this cOantry we must use
ut home. The nature Of potato starch
is SO nearly the same as wheat flour
that there is no difficulty in using this
combination in bread making.
Last season the farmers Of the
United States produced ebOut 100000
600 bushels of potatoes. About 1O0,-
100000 bushels Of this crop were small,
irregular, unmarketable potatoes.
earnestly believe that in no other
way can so great a saving be made in
food in America with so little labor
and so small expense as the use OF
small potatoes in the making of bread
in place of small grains which can be
shipped to our soldiers and the fighting
armies of the allies to help us win this
war.
Baked or boiled potatoes mashed
or put through ricer, can be substituted
for one-third the wheat -four in any
standard recipe for making wheat
bread, biscuits, pancakes, waftles,
dOughtnuts, pie crusts, etc. When pO-
tatoes are used little less liquid
may be required in the mixing.

Which of all the American generals
is it that has given European strate-

"StOnewall Jackson is the man." this
congressman declared. Il was sur
prised recently in talking to British
army officers, to learn that they have
made it point to study all of Jack

SAY GoODBY TO DoUGHNUT
soakS Up Fat Which Can Be Put to
Better Use, Is Judgment
of Hoover.

The dOughnut is doomed, says the
Indianapolis News. Recent intima-
tons of disapprOval by the food ad-
ministratiOn of this matutinal confec-
ton might have been regarded as .
spur to conservation and a threat that
would not be carried out unless as a
last resort. Bakers are prohibited In
making bread or rolls from adding
sugar or fats to the dough during the
baking or afterward. Some difference
of opinion as to what are rolls has
given the dOughnut respite, but 1t Is
to be shOrtlived. according to the state
food administrator, who brings this
significant news from Washington:
This ruling gives sweet dough goods
a temporary lease of life only. Mr..
Hoover has a special grudge against
dOughnuts. They soak up fat which
we do not need and our allies are suf-
fering for. So dOughnuts and frying
pan foods will shortly be taboo and
we must not eat or make them until
the war is over.
Thus Is the fate of the doughnut
sealed. Mr.. Hoover is known as a de-
termined man who cannot be moved
from course which he thinks will
serve the interests of his country. The
statement, however, that the food ad-
ministratOr has a grudge against the
dOughnut will pain many who have
peculiarly strong fOndness for 1t as an
accompaniment of the morning meal,
though Mr.. HOover's animus may
arise from motives of patriotism, not
prejudice.
If the government says the dough-
nut must go out Of our lives, then go
it must. But there will be some natu-
raj regret at parting with an old and
fried friend. The doughnut, like pie,
has become a part Of our common life.
Many will find breakfast without sink
ers an incomplete and unsatisfying re-
past. But perhaps the abstinence will
bring better digestion and more eQua-
BILE temperS.

Gold Won by Our Ships
Prosperity Of Merchant Marine
Due to the War

200 per cent profit on her first voyage
to China, in 1916.
The Oriental. an American clipper
built in New York in 1S49. to compete
with the English tea ships, earned
$4S,000 In freight money on her first
cargo Of tea from Hong Kong to Lon
don. Her cost was $4,000.
In the gold rush to California, In
1S49 and 1850. many ships earned more
than their value in a single voyage.
Demand for space regulated the charge
for carrying freight, as 1t does now,
and the top price reached was $50 a
ton.
At this rate the ship Samuel Rus
sell earned $4,000 In freight money
on one voyage-more than her cost.
Some of the charters made in the
earlier period of the war for Ameri-
can vessels were on such liberal
basis that the freight money for q
single voyage to Archangel, for exam
! pie, paid for the ship making the vOy'
age, a condition to be looked for, say
the experts, in times Of abnormal de
mand for cargo space.

find the values varied greatly because
of the variations of the human or or

1t should also be kept in mind that
meat will be more easily produced dur

our trouble will be the want of male

Set His Standard Hiah,

One big trouble in this world is that
we do not set our standards high
enough. We content ourselves with
little performances, and do not pick
our critic with care. We suit our
selves.
All this cannot be said about a GER
tain little boy in this town, who got
a big blackboard and plenty of CrayOn

of that embryo artist may be, certain
ly his ambition is boundless.
He went to Sunday school, and
while there was much impressed, as
usual, with the pictures of Biblical
characters shown him.
That afternoon he stood before his
new blackboard and meditated deep

Then he turned to his mother and

Potatoes as Substitute
For Wheat and Any Other
Grains In Making Bread
BY p. @. Holden.

bY ~ ~ N'S'NSs
II Is hardly possible to estimate
from a standpoint of food conservation
the great value of potatoes as substi-
tute for wheat and other grains In the
making of bread.
One hundred million bushels OF
small potatoes will save lOOOOO,OOO
bushels of wheat. About 30 per cent
of the annual potato crop In the United
States consists of small potatoes which
are unmarketable, made little use or
practically wasted, almost a total loss
to the country. The small potatoes
can be substituted for 0ne-third the
wheat flour used in making bread. 20
tatO bread Is better bread In every
way than bread made entirely Of wheat
or q combination of wheat and other
grains.
The use of potatoes in bread Is eco
nOmicnl at any time. 1t is patriotic n
this time; 1t utilizes waste potatoes
saves wheat and other grain which
can be exported; saves corn, barley
and oats which can be used to produce
meats and fats for our soldiers; gives
us white, moist and wholesome bread
for every meal; does not require eN'
ira work for the housewife, nor change
the usual custom and practices Of the
home; means two and one-third wheat
less days a week, ten wneatless days
month, four wheatless months
year.
Potatoes are grown in every sectlor
of the country, found In every home
are universal food. Every family
can produce them. Potatoes are al

Killed by Poisons

An scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as a kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de-
generated, by disease or old age, then
these poisons are retained in the body.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for a long life, DR.. Pierce Of
the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.
Then procure at your nearest drug store
Anuric. This Anuric drives the uric acid
out. Scientific men have learned that in
gout, also rheumatism, poisonous uric
acid crystals are deposited in or about
the joints, in the muscles = where in-
6ammation is set up.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day, is
the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric double strength }
three times a day for month. Anuric
is many times more potent than lithia.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, April IL, 1918.
While the greater part of the new
crop is in the warehouses and is being
assorted and cased, it is fact that
considerable is yet held by the growers.
They are now anxious to get rid Of 1t,
because it requires much care, and they
do not have time to devote to 1t, for
spring farm work is calling them, and
vet they don't like to let go at prices
below those the bulk of the crop sold
for, prices they could have had if they
had not been hungry for larger prices,
and the unsold crops will continue to be
held by their growers unless they come
down from % and 80 cent prices The
packers do not intend paying these
prices, and the growers themselves
now say they expect prices to break.
One reason is that the extensive pack
ing houses are full of heating tobacco,
and another reason is the labor ques-
ton. Not half as many men can be
secured for the warehouse work as is
needed and needed badly, for the handl-
ing of a packing cannot be delayed,
and such labor as can be had must be
handled with kid gloves and paid about
twice as much as the s2me class of
labor could be had at the outbreak of
the war Every Saturday, almost.
brings fresh tribulation to the packer
in the shape Of a demand for higher
wages, and it is as effective as gun
mans holdup, for if refused the en-
ployee quits, and his kind are too val
liable to lose at present, SO he gets his
raise.
In spite of all the trouble that goes
along with it, the 1917 crop is consid-
cred a good investment.
