memories for France as the scene of
her great humiliation when, on jan
uary Is, 1871, in the famous Galleries
des Glaces, King William, of Prus-
sia, was proclaimed German emper-
or. About five weeks later, the
French ENJOYS were forced to sign
the preliminaries of the hard peace
imposed upon France by Bismarck.
The Germans set an imposing state
for the first ceremony. Old King

Speaking with one of the commits.
sioners appointed to make q survey Of
the food situation in the battle-torn
countries of Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds Of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells,
many of them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
of leveling and getting under cultiva-
ton will take a long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer
on this side of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds of live stock
will have to be replenished and this
will take years; the provisioning of
the people in the meantime is the task
the farmers here will be asked to I'M
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de-
nand; all that can be provided will
be needed. This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments Of European neutrals for In
creased supplies now that there Is no
submarine menace.
To the Canadian and American farm
er this means demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time in the
past. Wheat will be needed, meat will
be required. The slogan "don't stop
saving food" Is as necessary today as
ever. The purpose of this article is to
direct attention to the fact that hum
dreds Of thousands of acres of land
In Western Canada are still unoccu-
pied, and this land is capable of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
its rich grasses are easily raised-and
cheapIy too-the cattle that will be
sought; In it's soil lies the nutriment
that makes easy the production of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
the farmer win be assured Of good
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices, on easy
terms, and with the abundance Of re-
turns that it will give, it does not mean
a matter of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These. facts, the low cost of the land
and it's great productivity, combined
with the admirable marketing and
transport facilities at the disposal Of
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada an attractive proposition.-Ad-
vertisement.

Toasted Potatoes Regarded
Good Substitute for Bread
Skins Add to the Flavor

The United States this year, It APP
pears, will have to feed practically
all of Europe. Every suggestion for
conservation of food and variation in
preparation is welcome and an arti-
Gle in Good Housekeeping has special
value in this connection. To quote:
st is plainly patriotic duty to use
potatoes as bread substitute. The
nearest approach to conventional meth.
DDS of cooking potatoes for a bread
substitute is, of course, a perfectly
baked potato, but perfectly baked
potato is rare as day in June.
Even a perfectly baked potato
served at the psychological moment
does not give that subtle sense of
bread function that the piece of bread
or toast, held in hand affords.
Prepare good-sized potatoes as If
to bake, being more scrupulously care
full than usual to scrub and cleanse
the skin carefully and remove all bad
spots. Cut the perfectly cleansed po-
tato lengthwise into slices one-fourth
of an inch thick. Put the slices loose
ly into wire basket or steamer and
steam until they are properly tenn
pered'-that is, until they are in part
but not completely cooked. IL they are
completely cooked by the steam, they
are of no particular value as bread
substitute. AS a rule, about ten min
utes' steaming is adequate. After this
initial steaming, dry the slices we'll
between clean towels and toast as you
would slices of bread, or put them in
a wire basket or perforated pan and
bake in a very hot oven until the slices
are delicately Drowned -on both sides.
Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve as
you would toast. The skins can be re-
moved before serving or while eat
ing, but If one is a connoisseur, real
disciple of Epicurus, with as much love
of flavor and conservation as a boy or
animal, he will eat the toasted slices
skin and all"
