WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
METZ FRONT, Sept. 2O.-Dlminishing
OF German effective fighting forces. as
result Of the Allies hammering this
summer, is shown in authoritative in
formation received at American head
quarters.
The enemy now has about 81 divis-
ions, about 100000 men. in reserve.
not counting three Austrian divisions.
Thirteen OF the 81 divisions have had
more than a months rest and are re-
garded as 1t for immediate service.
Twenty have rested three months. Then
there are the totally rested divisions,
which includes three flrst-class, six
second class, two third class ard two
fourth class. All the others were en-
gagged in the German attack July 70, or
in the Allied counter offensive.
The quality Of the rested reserves
may be shown by the fact that they
have not been used in serious fighting.

WAR INFLUENCES
FOOD HABITS

There Is a greet change going on in
the food habits Of all the allied forces.
We see it even here with our own men
In training. At first you remember
how cOncGned many mothers were
over the food the boys were served.
Each week, however, we remarked how
splendid the men in training looked
and they boosted Of their fitness.
Died had a lot TO do with this change
for the better. Our military men know
this and have taken a strong liking for
the palmer foOds-that means fitness
and efficiency
Between military advancements over
seas they Will try staple French, Eng
lish, Italian, Belgian, Russian and pos
sibly Spanish dishes. Many OF these
they will be particularly fond OF and
expect US 10 prepare just as well ss
they are prepared in the countries TO
which they are peculiar.
As the greater number OF these dishes
are prepared with the thought OF thrift
they will help US in our new economy
cooking.
Meats.
Through the efficient management oi
the allied food administration soldiers
are ell receiving a regular ration Of
meat To us who are the greatest meat
eating nation thai is nothing unusual,
but in the families Of thousands OF men
Of the allied forces meat has been
served only on rare occasions.
These men arc going home with q
new food habit that will draw on the
meat supply. Also many civilians whoss
wage has been increased have formed
the meat eating habit. This Will create
continual increase i'm demand for
meat after war and necessitate our
using meats in the most intelligent way
We may as well make up our minds
that the days OF cheap meat are over
and put all our efforts TO getting the
most out OF small quantities. As we
were so wasteful in the old days Of
plenty, we will be able by wise use OF
meat alternatives and thrifty use 0f
meats TO have all that health and
efficiency demsnd5
First in this meat extension cam
paign, we should master the numerous
delicious ways Of preparing the perish
able products. Suggestions are repeat
edly given on this page-make a meat
scrap book and save the practical in
formation you find in your favOrite
paper and magazine making nOtations
under each recipe as you test 10.
Just at present out definite cOnserva-
tion ruling is 10 demand meat from
light weight cattle. the heavy sides OF
beef are shipped to best advantage.
These lighter meats we are asked to
buy, are Just as wholesome when they
bear the L. s. Government inspection
stamp. Look for IL on every cut.
Long Fibered Meats.
Such cuts as the fore and hind shank.
the brisket plato neck and tail OF the
beef are cut from each side shipped for
war orders as this makes II possible 20
pack them TO better advantage for ship
ment
These cuts should be used here to re-
lease more and more OF the sides 70
ship.
As these are long fbered cuts they
must be given the long moist cooking.
The chuck is also in this class. From
these cuts can be made splendid econ-
lmy dishes such as Goulash, Beef la
Mode. Casserole and Rice and Meat.
3raised Beef, and scores OF appetizing
'oreign dishes. Send to Mrs. Adams

at the open-air vesper service Of the

the prejudice against the Japanese
which / find so common among

The only explanation 1 can find
is that the Americans and Japanese
are so much alike. The Japanese
resemble the Americans in their ma
terialism-commerci is grow

a special word has been coined
meaning the men who are becom-
ing gold'-in their aggressiyeness.
and in their self-respect. for the
Japanese are a hard-working, in

Mr.. Hannaford was introduced by
