DINNER QUESTION
never GETS old.
Good, Satisfying Meal Whole
Family Enjoys Is Wanted.
COMBINATIONS ARE IN FAVOR
Something Hot, savory, Easy to Cook
and Serve 10 Always in Order
Three Recipes Given to Help
Busy Housewife.

"What shall we have for dinner?"-
the daily question that never grows
old. Well, you want good. satisfying
meal which the whole family will en-
Joy. 1t must be cheap and easy to
cook and must supply what your bodies
need to help you grow, and to help you
work or play and keep warm. And, If
the spirit Of war sacrifice abides in
your household, the meal should reflect
your food saving efforts.
People of all nations have used COM
binations Of foods cooked together in
one dish. Perhaps you can remember
such dinners in your grandmother's
home. Why not renew the custom and
serve your family with a nutritious
one-dish dinner occasionally, for vari-
ETY. at least? For such a dinner you
might serve a fish chowder. Here it is,
q dinner in one dish, sure enough. This
one, and the others that follow, makes
enough for five persons:
Fish chowder.
~ lbs. fresh fish. 2 cupfuls carrots,
(cod, haddock, cut in pieces.
etc.l or y lb. salt y lb. salt pork.
or dried hSh. cupfulS milk.
. potatoes peeled " teaspoonful pep
and cut in small per.
pieces. tablespoonfuls flour.
onion sliced.
Cut pork in small pieces and fry with
the chopped onion for five minutes. Put
pork, onions, carrots and potatoes in
kettle and cover with boiling water.
Cook until vegetables are tender. Mix
three tablespoonful Of flour with one
half cupful of the cold milk and stir
in the liquid in the pot to thicken it.

Joan's homecoming the lure of the cabin
and of the woman's hand held Kazan.
AS he had tolerated Pierre, SO now he
tolerated the younger man who lived
with Joan and the baby. He knew
that the man was very dear to Joan,
and that the baby was very, dear to
him, as 1t was to the girl. 1t was
not until the third day that Joan sue
ceeded in coaxing him into the cabin
and that was the day on which the
man returned with the dead and fro
zen body of Pierre. 1t was Joan's
husband who first found the name on
the collar he wore, and they began
calling him Kazan.
Ealf a mile away, at the summit Of
q huge mass Of rock which the Indians
called the Sun rock, he and Gray
Wolf had found home; and from
here they went down to their hunts
on the plain, and often the girls voice
reached up to them, calling, "Kazan !
Kezan! Kazanw
Through all the long winter Kazan
lowered thus between the lure Of Joan
and the cabin-and Gray Wolf.
Then came spring-and the Great
Change.

CHAPTER X.
The Great Chance.


The rocks, the ridges and the val
leys were taking on a warmer glow.
The poplar buds were ready to burst.
The scent of balsam and of spruce
grew heavier in the air each day, and
all through the wilderness, in plain and
forest, there was the ripping murmur
Of the spring floods finding their way
to Hudson's bay. In that great bay
there was the rumble and crash of the
ice fields laundering down in the early
breakup through the Roes Welcome
the doorway to the Arctic, and for that
reason there still came with the April
wind an occasional sharp breath Of
winter.
Kazan had sheltered himself against
that wind. Not breath of air stirred
in the sunny spot the wolf-dog had
chosen for himself. He was more COM
Portable than he had been at any time
during the six months of terrible win
ter-and as he slept he dreamed.
Gray Wolf, his wild mate, lay near
him, fiat on her belly, her forepaws
reaching out, her eyes and nostrils as
keen and alert as the smell of man
could make them. For there was that

ALCOHOL DANGER TO AMERICAN

1t is gratifying to know that there is
a sentiment in Paris which recognizes
the fact that Uncle Sam has thrown
safeguards around his soldiers which
are effective as long as they are on
American soil, and, out Of respect to
this very evident hostility Of our gov
ernment towards drink, urges protec-
ton for American soldiers on French
soil from the perils of alcohol. The
following Is from La Revue of Paris !:
"At the present moment France is
attracting the eyes of the world more
than ever before. It is not enough to
show our enthusiasm regarding the
English, Americans, Italians, Portu-
guese or Russians who are dwelling
among us. We must likewise watch
over their moral security. But alco-
holism menaces all in the same degree.
The "Sammies" who arrive from the
United States total or partial prOhi-
bitionists are exposed to multiple dam
gers and temptations.
'"The great American republic ac-
cepts with heroism the sacrifices in
men and money which the war against
the Germans may demand. But let US
take carel We shall commit an evil
action If her. children find themselves
exposed not only to the danger Of be-
ing slain at the front, but to that of
being poisoned by alcohol. Many writ
ers in the United States have already
manifested fears upon this point. A
few concrete cases would suffice to
cause an outburst Of opinion on the
other side. The Germans are watching
and they will not be slow to exploit
such sentiments, which are justified,
indeed, to paralyze the noble popula-
ton Of the United States towards the
sacred cause of the allies.
ave cannot lay too much emphasis
upon the decree issued by the British
military authority, January Is, 1917,
prohibiting the circulation of alcohol
in all the French regions occupied by
the English army! And this in order
to respond to the declarations of civil
and military authorities signalizing al
coholism as an obstruction to the agri-
cultural and industrial production re-
quired by the necessities of national
Defense Shall we wait until the
American. too, perhaps, shall inflict a
like humiliation upon our ministers Of
the interior, of munitions, Of supplies,
and many other Of their confreres?"

COTTAGE Cheese Salad.

Nutritious salad makes a good dish
for home luncheon. AS they are rich
in protein, cheese salads take the place
of cold meat dishes. The following is
an inexpensive, nutritious cottage
cheese salad:
Mix thoroughly one pound Of cheese,
one and one-half tablespoonfuls Of
cream, one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley, and salt to taste. First, fill a
rectangular tin mold with cold water
to chill and wet the surface. After
removing the water, line the bottom
Of the mold with waxed paper; then
pack the cheese in three layers, put
ting two or three parallel strips Of
pimento, lettuce leaf, or chopped nuts,
between layers. Cover with waxed
paper and set in a cool place until
ready to serve; then run a knife
around the sides and invert the mold.
Cut in slices and serve on lettuce
leaves with French dressing and waf-
ers. Minced olives may be used in
stead Of the parsley. and chopped nuts
also may be added. go .

Five Ways to Food Variety.

We must have food to grow, to keep
nutritious in that it does all these
things. 1t is also important that It
should taste good. It will not only be
better relished, but IL will be better
utilized by the body If 1t does. Food
will be more healthful, more palatable,
and more nutritious II 1t is varied.
Variety may be secured by selecting
for the daily diet something from each
Of the following five groups Of food !:
~ Fruits and vegetables; (2l milk,
meat, eggs, cheese, fish, peas. beans,
and nuts; (3) cereals; (4) swsets; (6l

WHY THEY SELL 1T.

Saloonkeepers do not sell the drug
alcohol to man simply for the sake
of destroying him. They give him
what Injuries him because they think
that is the way by which they can get
his money. They do not desire, on
their own account, to ruin his charac-
ter, take away his property, break his
wife's heart, and beggar and starve his
children. Their object is only to get
the mans money, and they do these
things because that seems the shortest
way. Yet it is the price of blood.

for the Something sweet" you like
with your meals.
Now that meat is so high-priced you
as possible. A meat stew can be made
very appetizing and with proper care
in the selection Of the ingredients to
combine with the meat you may make
another one-dish meal. /
Hot Pot Of Mutton and Barley.
1 pound mutton. I potatoes.
u cupful pearled 9 onions.
barley. Celery tops or other
1 tablespoonful salt. seasoning herbs.
Cut the mutton in small pieces and
brown with the onion in fat cut from
meat This will help make the meat
tender and improves the flavor. Pour
this into a covered saucepan. Add two
quarts Of water and the barley. Sim
mer for one and one-half hours Then
add the potatoes cut in quarters, sea-
soning herbs, and seasoning, and cook
one-half hour longer.
This is also good served as shep-
herds pie with mashed potatoes lining
the dish and piled on top for a crust.
The stew is better If thickened with
little flour in this case before adding
to the mashed potato crust.
Or your one-dish meal might be Of
dried peas or beans instead Of meat or
fish combined with other vegetables.
Here is hearty dish made from split
peas. Many kinds OF dried peas or
beans could be used in the same way:
Split Peas, Rice and Tomatoes.
N cupfuls rice. Y teaspoonful pep
pint split peas. per.
onions. 2 cupfuls Of tomato
tablespoonful salt (fresh or canned).
Soak peas over night in two quarts
of water. Cook until tender in water
in which they soaked. Add rice, on
ions, tomatoes and seasonings, and
cook 20 minutes.
Such meals are help to the busy
housewife on especially busy days, as
they are easy to prepare and make but
few dishes to wash. With bread and
butter and jam, perhaps, or stewed
fruit, any one of them makes we'll
chosen nutritious meal. If there are
children in the family give each one q
glass of milk besides. Such a meal
will satisfy the body's needs as well
as a more elaborate one.

MEXICO TOO.

"6NISS wv
Mexico is improving" said the
Mexican general, Alvaro Obregon, at
dinner rendered him in Springfield, Ill.
"It has found the reason for the rev.
olutions. 1t is going to reform the
new generations Of Mexico. 1t Is 60
ing to open a school where there was
saloon before. We see the advan-
tages now of education. There have
been too many drunks in Mexico. The
governors of the various states are
now stopping with radical measures
the saloon. Men who are going to
save Mexico are those who are going
to close the saloon. The United States
needs the same cure. I speak plainly.
The Mexican government did not wait
to raise the taxes before it took steps
to close down the saloons. We are
going to fight ignorance and vice."

VICTORY NEAR.

New Mexico Is the twenty-seventh
prohibition state. The District of Co
lumbia is dry, and the territories Of
AlasfF and Porto Rico. Dry areas in
wet states are constantly widening.
Over 81 per cent Of the area of the
United States Is now under prohibi-
ton. At the general election of 1918
eight more states are expected to vote
upon the question. Prohibition Is now
patriotic issue and Kaiser Alcohol's
day of defeat is near.
