THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who says the past week is the first
time in twenty-six years that she and
her husband have been alone.
; Twenty years ago. her first child
was born and at no time since have
the three children all been away from
their father and mother at the same
time for a week.
A few A. E. F. axioms were sent by
one of the Topeka boys who is in
France. They were clipped from the
European edition of the New York
Herald" and are as follows:
"As clever as a guy who can work
the skipper for a pass
LAS gloomy as a P. G. (Which means
prisoner German, and is the way
they are marked) watching ex-Ham-
burg-America come in at a base port
LAS fussy as quartermaster."
s"As caution as a guy out on pass
with the dates changed"
AS callouS as a summary court"
las lucky as a cheese-mite in a mess
| shack
LAS safe as the home guards"
You have two level tablespoons of
sugar to use this day-an amount
which divides well by two, but not so
easily by three. And most of us eat
| three meals.
| When you were a small person, did
| you ever figure out logically how
| much better it was to have your cake
| or candy coming than to eat it up
| right away?
How about these three meals of
| yours? Supposing you decide to go
| without sugar at one of them-which
! one shall it be?
Breakfast is the logical meal for
such discipline, isn't it? For one
| thing, what you eat really doesn't need
| sugar. Your fruit has sugar hidden
1
from the kind you get from the sugar
| bowl, but sugar nevertheless; and the
! best part of the fruit sugar is that 1t
needn't be estimated on your days
| ration. Just as a little tip-the dried
fruits, like prunes, apricots and
| peaches, are apt to be sweeter than
fresh fruits.
The prepared breakfast foods are so
sweet in themselves that they do not
require sugar. If you have been eat
ing them with sugar you will need to
| take about three mornings to become
reconciled, but you will never go back
to the old way. The cooked breakfast
FOODS do not have the sweetness quite
as well developed. But If salt is used
to bring out the natural flavor, and If
some fruit-especially some dried
fruit such as dates or raisins-is add
| ed about fifteen minutes before the
i cereal is removed from the fire, YOU
Will remark afterwards on the deli
| cious dish of oatmeal, hominy erits or
pearl barley which you ate this morn
ing. Sugar added to it would be an
1 insult.
The worst is now over and only the
i question of coffee remains. If others
can drink it with cream onIy and Iik g
1t, why can't you? It's only a little
matter of education. You'd hate to
admit that you're too old to learn
wouldn't you?
| Eggs and toast at least will offer no
| temptation. hO
Push back your chair and Just think
what you have coming to Won for
lunch and dinner!

One of the Topeka boys in France
has written a description of the chnrch
services over there which is quite in.
| teresting: He says, 1.-THE chan1air
| heid services last Sunday and twr
weeks ago in an old abandoned church
| Where troops were billeted 1t was
| quite picturesque but impressive. The
oand furnished the music, seated or
/ supply boxes in the old chanceI. tbs
congregation were seated on the
ground or on boxes and the chapIair
mad as his pulpit supply box turned
on end and covered with an arm,
blanket. The decorations around tbs
wall, such as shrapnel, helmets rifle.
ana ammunition belts, were somewhat
| out OF place. but little details like thai
have to be overlooked"
