Five WAYS to Food Variety.

We must have food to grow, to keep
warm, and to work Our food must be
nutritious in that it does all these
things. It is also important that it
should taste good. 1t will not only be
better relished, but it will be better
utilized by the body if it does. Food
Will be more healthful more palatable,
and more nutritious if it is varied.
Variety may be secured by selecting
for the daily diet something from each
of the following five groups of food
ID Fruits and vegetables; (2) milk,
meat, eggs, cheese, fish, peas, beans,
and nuts; CD cereals; ca sweets; (5)
fats.

McAdoo's Reply
To Labor Protest
Declares 1t Patriotic Duty
Not to Object if Build
ing Is Curtailed

WASHINGTON, March 1G.-Secretary
McAdoo to-day called on American IA
Dor not to object if the nations war
policy of conserving credit results IN
curtailed building operations. but TO
seek some other kind Of employment
if necessary, as q patriotic duty
In a letter to Samuel Gompers, pres :
idcnt of the American Federation OF
Labor, answering protest by 0he
Building Trades Council OF San iran
cisco and other labor unions against
shutting down building during .Ae
war, Mr.. McAdoo SAID:
"Men arc needed to build ships, to
build houses to house men working III
the shipyards, to erect plants to pro-
duce war material, to run our railroads,
to oneratc our industries, and to pro
ducc food required by the Allies and
ourselves. These needs are already
great and will increase, not lessen, as
the war progresses.
"If our wage earners are unable to
find employment for which they are
best fitted and which they would pre-
fer. or if they are unable to find EN-
plovmcnt where it would be most con-
vcnicnt for them TO work, the oppor-
tunity is presented to render most
patriotic service in this period OF ma
tional stress by seeking other KINDS of
employment, and, if need be, moving
to other districts where work is to be
had"
The Secretary explained that the gov
eminent docs not seek to prevent build
ing Of homes and other structures
which are absolutely needed, but 1t en-
couragcs the postponing of building
operations which are not required to
protect the health or provide for the
comfortable needs of our people, or to
supply facilities necessary for the
proper conduct of business essential to
the successful prosecution of the war"
The Secretary's letter was made pub
tic, together with one from j. b. kens-
more, director of the United States
Employment Service, to Paul NJ War
burg. chairman of the Federal Re-
serve Boards capital issue committee,
saying the Department Of Labor would
assist workmen in finding employment
in other occupations or other districts.
In the letter to Mr.. Gompers Score
tary McAdoo said:
1.-THE great financial operations of
the government make it essential that
every unnecessary expenditure by the
government. by the states and munlcl-
ralitics and by private corporations
and individuals be avoided while the
way is in progress.
"There must be no slackcrs in Wall
Street, none in the homes. none on
the farms, none in our industries. Cap
ital and labor alike must do their It
most There must be no waste, no
cXtravagancc, no unnecessary cxpendl
ture. The nation has need Of all its
man power, of all its wealth. of all its
resources"

anese Embassy at Picking has been in
formed that during recent disturbances
at Blagovestchensk three Japanese
were killed and seven wounded while
defending their property against Boil
sheviki.
In reply to a question in the Diet
yesterday the Japanese Premier, Count
Terauchi, said, according to Reuter-
dispatch from Toxic, that the dissen.
sion prevailing between North China
and South China was the cause of
serious concern for Japan's interests.
but that Japan would take no steps in
the way Of mediation.
The Premier characterized as untrue

Victory in West Boastfully
Predicted by / Iindenburg
Seconded by Ludendor Field Marshal Asserts Coming
Offensive Will Be Severe, but Triumphant
for Germany

with the insolencc Of a German
trooper, the commander of the German
armies, who since the battle of the
Marne has met with defeat in every
encounter with the French, said:
"'France has dug her own grave. She
is entirely under the rule Of England.
If the French treated less harshly our
poor war prisoners one would have
more pity for the unhappy fate Of their
country
"Ludendortf added:
1--WE can now pass to the offensive
in the West. If this offensive is made
it Will be very severe. 1t must be taken
into account that the enemy has at its
disposal strong reserve of many divi
sions and that it possesses fine net
work of railways for transporting re-
serves at a point where they are con-
sdered necessary. But one must not
overlook the moral factor. We are full
of confidence, and we remain persuaded
that the fight in which we are to en-
gage will end happily for u.s.
"Ludendortf added that it was Of in
estimabie value to Germany to possess
such a general as Hindenburg. The
marshal interrupted him ard Observed:
"'What is essential is the good
morale of the German soldiers. 1t is
to them that VIC owe our victory. am
CONVINCED that this morale is found
throughout all Germany''
Words Betray Anxiety
The dispatch concludes with the fol-
lowing French comment:
Thus do those express themselves
who are at the present moment the
real heads of the German nation. Be-
meath the apparent confidence their
words convey one can detect anxiety.
They know that on the West they will
come up against the victorious will Of
the great democracies Of the world,
more formidably armed and deter
mined than ever Hindenburg could
never achieve success except on tbs
East front. He has always had great
fear of the disillusion which the West
has in reserve for him. However, it
is possible that the Germans are care
fully concealing their plans, in the hope
of deceiving their adversaries and up
setting public opinion; but, whatever
happens, the Allies are prepared and
nothing can surprise them.'
