both corn and tomatoes. The fav-
orable weather conditions have
been regarded as sure to produce a
fine yield of products, which are
going to be so badly needed in
winning the war. The whole idea
is to can every kind of fruit and
other things to meet any emer-
gency during the Fall and Winter,
as none can foretell what stringent
conditions must be faced in self
denial before the greatest conflict
can be counted as yielding victory
to our side. Hence everything is
being arranged to aid our soldiers
who have nobly gone forth to bat
tie for the cause of Freedom, the
world over.
A very interesting letter from
Private Woodrow Macdonald who
is in the ammunition corps some
where in Australia, was received by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Macdonald, few days ago. The
young soldier reports that be is
getting along alright but, of course,
has a longing to be back at home,
to renew the joys of home ties, and
likewise enjoy the mingling with
his pals again. He also states that
Australia is beautiful country
and expresses the wish that all
around home could see it. Mr..
Macdonald entered the service on
October oath, of last year, going to
Camp Dix, thence to Aberdeen
Proving Grounds, thence to Mitch
ell Field, New York. A little later
he went to San Francisco to cross
to the scene of war. He has many
friends hereabouts, all of whim are
very glad to hear from him and to
wish him the best of luck in serv-
ing his country so nobly.

SUBSTITUTE MEAT DISHES
Extension Service Advises Menus
For Meat Shortage

VI 4NAOdt Acboi ta6O
During the temporary meat
shortage in the Northeast, Della
ware homemakers can do two
things to meet the situation, says
Mrs. Helen V. Mckinley, assistant
director of Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service. Mrs. Mckinley
suggests that housewives plan
menus that make use of foods that
can be substituted for meat and
prepare a small amount of meat so
that it goes further. Such protein
foods as cheese, eggs, fish, beans
and milk dishes are excellent SUBJ
stitutes for meat and are more ac-
ceptable as such during hot wealth
er than at any other season of the
year. A cheese souffle' or omelet
is an excellent meat substitute as
a main dish for meal. Eggs may
be served in many ways, alone or
in combination with other foods.
Chicken for which Delaware is
noted may also be served in many
delicious ways in place of other
meats. Now the flavor of a small
amount of meat may be extended
by combining it with sauces or eggs
and bread crumbs to make meat
loaf or croquettes. Other sugges-
tons are small amounts of meat in
combination with vegetables for
stews, or hash, or with pastry to
make meat pie. A small amount
of fat meat will flavor pot of
baked beans as a satisfying substi-
tute.
