Must Study Values.

There is no household allowance so
liberal that the housewife does not have
to debate often as to what the family
really needs and what may be considered
as unnecessary. This problem is even
more difficult when table expenses must
be kept down 'as low as possible How
familiar that term is, and yet how hard
it is to meet the problem.
Every housewife to-day has some
smattering of domestic science, if not
learned at school, acquired by tradition,
handed down from mother to daughter
as is generally the case in foreign fam
lies We need a certain amount Of fat,
a certain proportion OF sugar and starch
foods, and fresh, green vegetables for
their bulk and mineral properties A
well balanced and therefore economical
meal does not serve too large a proper
ton of fat or starch, and yet includes
sufficient fresh greens and fruit juices.
The body requires a certain amount OF
fat, but it is not necessary that this
fat should be always in the form Al
high priced dairy butter. Bacon provides
fat in a nourishing form that can be
taken even by young children; it is Ger
tainlv an extravaganza to eat butter
with meal that includes bacon.
The question of what should be eaten
on bread is much a question of tradition
and habit, says the director of home eco
Monies for Armour s. Co. The French
child for his afternoon lunch has lump
Of sweetened chocolate and a crusty roll.
To butter the latter would be unheard
of, English children eat beef drippings
on their bread and think it nicer than
butter. 1t is, once You are accustomed
to the slightly meaty taste.
There has been strong prejudice
among housewives toward oeomargarine,
due probably to the fact that for some
years inscriptions dealers labeled it and
sold it as butter People are beginning
to understand now that oeomargarine
has certain definite place in the cut
sine. 1t is excellent for cake shortening.

An AMERICAN VILLAGE
on BANKS OF THAMES
Its Population Consists of 200 White
Men and $50 Negroes Who Are En-
gagged in Receiving, Sorting and
Storing War Material

London, Feb, p Correspondence Of
the Associated Press On the banks Of
the Thames, less than 20 miles from
London, there is an American town Of
the mushroom kind such as you might
find in a new California oil field Its
population consists of more than 200
white men and about $50 negroes 1t
covers Is acres which nine months ago
were fallow grass land. The business Of
the town is to receive, sort and store
war material. 1t is the great American
supply depot in England.
There is t. street Of wooden huts, an
other of corrugated iron huts, huge iron
store sheds a quarter OF a mile long, Of
flee buildings, water supply and electric
lights the whole surrounded by hedge,
few armed sentres and much mud.
All day long the khaki-clad negroes push
and haul railway trucks full OF war ma
terial
Englishmen peer over the hedge and
ask satirically if the United States
doesn't know that the war is over. If
they ask an officer for enlightenment
about this strange camp, his explanation
is something like this;
America came into the war with both
feet, banking on at least three years Of
it, which was the safe thing to do. Our
government made contracts with British
manufacturers to supply our army with
tons of war material, from a tin tack to
steamroller The British factories
built new plants and took on new hands
to meet our needs, and deliveries were
going smoothly when the armistice was
signed.
If we had strapped our contracts then,
some British firms might have been
driven into bankruptcy, putting thou
sands of men out Of work and leaving
the factories with tons of useless mate
rial on their hands. So the United
States government merely cancelled or
ders for material that had not been &C
/ tually started on, and told the factories
to 90 ahead with what they had in hand
This place is the collection station
for that material. We are receiving
tractors for guns, entrenching tools,
thousands of yards of camouhage wire
netting, stacks of asbestos roofing for
hospitals timber frames for huts, wheel.
pdllb"of oHtNttS, pltAdAth, boilH, screw IS
and lot of other stuff We are going
to store it all here and sell it later on.
1t will all be useful, and we can wait for
the market. The manufacturer couldn't
have waited"
War material coming back from Rus.
STA is being stored at this camp, also the
| fittings of the dismantled hospitals which
the American army established in Eng
land.

The Welcome TO Wilson.

Mr.. Wilson has his share of personal
dislikes and enmities to bear, as we'll as
the overplus of political antipathies
aroused by his six years of wonderful
adventure and incessant conflict in the
presidency. Yet the great mass of the people
who silently watch the course of events
year by year are not without their own
standards of measurement in forming
judgments of public men, and, in the
case of Mr. Wilson, they are not .msled
by personal dctraction or partisan ran
cor in estimating the high rank which
he has already won among the presi-
dents of the United States and also
among the statesmen of the world
The American people as whole are
proud OF President Wilson and of his in
contestable eminencc in the council of
the nations. They see in him a president
who casts a shadow across the oceans
and the continents. The greatness Of the
nation, of course, is the foundation of
the international influence of its official
and titular leader, yet there have been
very few presidents in our history who
could have built upon this base the
world prestige and distinction which to
day follow Wilson's name.
Mr.. Wilson's power with the American
people at this time should not be under
estimated. He has had too great a ca
reer, his public services in various mat
tiers of great moment have been too valu
able for him to be houted and pushed
aside as no longer of account by senate
rial politicians. Keen-sighted men will
not forget furthermore that as an expo
nent of liberal ideals no one now ap-
proaches MIR. Wilson in his commanding
position, and the strength he derives
from this personal connection with the
hopes and aspirations of the world makes
his position in public life one to be most
seriously reckoned with.
There is a singular loneliness in Presi-
dent Wilson's personal emmence. for his
political party has ceased to give him
the powerful backing That one in his off
cial position ordinarily needs. Yet there
may be a new and unexpected source of
strength available to him hereafter if he
can himself rise so far above parties as
to command support by virtue of direct
and compelling appeal to the idealstic
impulses in tAe great heart of the peo-
pie The highest counsel that can be ten
! dored to the president for the remainder
Of his term is to see in the competition

RUSSIAN PEASANTS
HATE RED GUARD
Far More Than They Ever Hated the
Agents of the Former Russian
Emperor, According to One
Traveller from Moscow.

Vladivostok, Feb. 27 Correspondence
of the Associated Press The Russian
peasants hate the Red Guard a hundred
times more than they ever hated the
agents of the former Russian emperor,
according to a traveller from Moscow, as
quoted in the Omsk newspaper, Sloyo.
Perhaps, the traveller says, this may ac-
count for some of the fereeness and
ruthlessness of the bolshevik rule.
Under the emperoTs regime, he says,
the murderer of village constable would
have been shot and the execution would
have stopped there; but the bolsheyiki
will shoot scores of peasants for the
murder of a Red Guard.
All the way from Moscow to Tambov
could be seen people called ck-earri-
ers'--men and women who had left their
towns or villages in the hope of finding
elsewhere bread or wheat. The bolshe
wiki had orders to shoot all sack carriers,
women, children or old men, whether
they were in quest of bread for them
selves and their starving families or to
sell at higher prices. And they were
shot The traveller claims to have seen
some of these people running along the
tops of railroad cars, jumping from one
to another, with the Red Guards shoot
ing at them from the platform The
meanings of those struck down were
heard far into the night.
The train PASSED Tambov, Atakar, Bal.
ashev, all situated in fertile corn coun-
try But nowhere was there bread even
for the Russians who had raised the corn.
1t had been exported, nobody could say
where
A student member Of the committee to
fight counter-revolution who was on the
same train, admitted that he and his
friends knew that the social revolution
aries as well as the mensheviki were
not counter but the com
mittee he said, was Obliged to view them
as such if they wanted to continue to
rule. "If communism" he said, will not
fit the Russian people, we shall have to
abandon the power; but in that case we
shall act in fashion to be remembered
for a long time"
The train passed military trains going
to the front. The soldiers appeared
gloomy and sleepy, principally sleepy.
The traveller saw some looking for a
place to lie down. but an officer carry
ing a whip motioned them out. Their
grumblings were sienced by the whip
or by the sight Of bayonet glistening
in the hands Of sailor who accompanied
the officer.

margarine is the same as butter; it has

to question Of taste and habit. Butter

As a nation, we eat too much starch;
potatoes, white bread, rice and beans
