Fats and Fat Foods.

First of all, the housekeeper who
consults this list of foods will prob
ably wish to know why these foods
were selected and what their signifi-
canoe is. Everyone knows that food
contains fuel for the human machine.
The fuel need for the average family
described above has been estimated
as 800 hundred-calorie portions per
week
In order that the diet should pro-
vide what is needed to maintain
health. one-fifth of this needed fuel
should come from vegetables and
fruits, one-fifth from milk. meat eggs,
and other efficient-protein foods, three
tenths from cereals, one-tenth from
sweets, and one-tifth from fats. This
proportion has been maintained in the
above lists, for 100 hundred-calorie
portions are supplied by fruits and
vegetables; 160 hundred-calorie por-
tions by the efficient-protein foods;
240 hundred-calorie portions by the
cereal foods; so hundred-calorie por-
tions by the sweets; and 160 hundred
calorie portions by the fats.
use just these foods in just these
amounts. and wonders how the lists
can he altered without Interfering
with the good proportions. she can
consult table at the back of the
bulletin which gives practically all
the common food materials divided
into the five classes mentioned and
which shows the number of hundred
calorie portions per peck, per pound,
or per quart as the case may demand.
1t should, therefore, be an easy mat
ter to make up other lists having the
same proportions as the one given
above.
Many families will be different from
the average family here described,
but reference to table given in the
bulletin will make it possible to esti-
mate the number of hundred-calorie
portions needed by any group of per-
sons. Copies of Farmers Bulletin

WISH FATHERS THOUGHT

1.-THE hostilities and iniquities of
our enemies, especially of course the
French. are so atrocious that hyena-
like they ever! want to feed on the
corpse Of Germany. I don't in the
least wonder that the French are
prompted in their devilish designs
chiefly by fear Of US. for their own
bad conscience cannot but tell them
that in a later generation a most ter
rible war Of revenge must and will
set in"
This from a highly cultured Ger
man woman writing under a recent
date and affords an insight into the
workings of the German mind which
has had every opportunity to know
the facts and which in the processes
Of culture it has enjoyed should have
been trained to think clearly. The
lady who wrote the letter is an i'm
perialist, as her letter shows, but
this nowise explains the attitude
which she reveals in this correspond
ence with a relative and intimate
friend.
What is revealed in the above and
in other parts OF the letter in which
she says the French must reap as
they have sown, and declares that
America does not know the truth, is
the evident fact that the writer has
come under the evil spell Of believ-
ing that which she herself wishes to
believe. There is no hope for such
so long as they adhere to the prac-
tice.. There is no hope Of doing
away with war SO long as any con-
siderable number of intelligent poo
pie insist on seeing crooked"
France must reap as she has sowed?
True. But likewise must Germany:
she is reaping now. She is garner
ing what sprung from that which she
placed in the soil.
Those who complain of this, the
inevitable. are many. They are the
blind seeking to lead the blind. Self
hypnotized they are incorrigibie.
Education, enlightenment, even con-
science may not penetrate the fog in
which they shroud their mentality.

THEY WERE NOT DECEIVED

There is gratifying evidence that
the people, the women as well as the
men, are getting wise TO propaganda,
political and otherwise. The scurri-
lous circular purporting to he sent
out under the auspices of the "Inde-
pendent Voters League" appears to
have been intended to influence the
vote Of women, to confuse them and
raise doubts in their minds. 1t is un-
reasonable to suppose the schemers
expected to convince those who had
long acquaintance with such eleventh
hour methods. But with the inexper-
fenced it might prove effective.
1t did not prove effective. The
women were not deceived. Entirely
aside from the iniquitous feature of
the attempt the futility If it is worth
considering. "Pin-head politics" is a
more polite term than the act merits.
There is much less of that sort Of
thing than there was once. We arc
glad to believe there will be even less
in the future. The "a. K. Frosts" of
the future will be driven to new cX-
pedents, and even at that will be
about as helpful to the party with
which they affiliate as carbuncle
on the neck-or any other place.

KEEP FEET DRY
Tells rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid Of Uric Acid

rheumatism is no respecter Of age,
sex. color or rank. II not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
Ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any Undue exposure and, above
all. drink lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels, and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1t out
in the urine; the pores of the skin
are also means of freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and chilly.
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work. they become weak and slug
gish and fail to eliminate this uric
acid which keeps accommodating and
circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action. thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia.
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheuma tism.-Adv,
