jjj i w W s
The armored cruiser Montana is a vessel of 14,500 tons, with a speed of
twenty-two knots and carrying four ten-inch guns, besides smaller ordnance.
Her keel was laid in 1905. The North Carolina is her sister ship.

As War Calls to the Men,
Business Tasks Call
to the Women!
As the bugle and drum call to the service of their
country the men working in the offices and shops, and
the unfinished tasks are abandoned, the summons to service
comes to the women.
The work of the nation must be done, that the fighting
bills may be paid. The processes of commerce must not be
seriously crippled, else the material resources of the country
would be quickly curtailed. The work left behind by the
men who have joined the colors must be taken up by the
women who are under the protection of the flag.
It means opportunity for patriotic service. It means
an expression of that loyalty to country -which is in every
woman's heart and mind.
The employer whose forces of workers is depleted by
the national emergency should call for women to fill the in
dustrial ranks. There arc not many office tasks to which
women are not equal. There is much work in the shops and
factories within their capacity.
The manhood strength of the country is being mobilized
for the fighting task. The fit and able soldier leaves be
hind him a business task. To call other men, too old to Join
the colors, from other tasks, to fill the gaps is not always
possible or wise. The summons of the office and of the work
shops is to the women and they will respond. We shall
have little unemployment the need for workers will be
increasingly urgent.
Let us have immediate "preparedness" for business tasks
by all women who are not tied to home tasks.

There Are Five Groups of Foods
Mineral Matter, Protein,
Starch, Sugar and Fat and
Each Group Should Be
Included Every Day.
HOUSEWIVES In many cases can
reduce the cost of supplying
their tables without reducing the
nutritive value of the food served by
giving more thought thau usually Is
glveu to the selection, preparation and
combination of foods. In fact, whero
carelessness has been the rule (and
carelessness is not related to the size
of the Income! ilie specialists of the
Dulled Stales artmeut of agricul

possible both u reduction of cost and
an Increase In nutrltlveness and pala
tabillty. If auy changes are to be brought
about In the menu to which a family
has been accustomed, however, by
eliminating certain articles or substi
tuting less expensive ones, care should
be tukeu that the resulting diet Is ra
tional that is, that It does not contain,
on the one hand, too great a proportion
of foods of auy one typo, such as incuts
and uicut substitutes, or starch, sugurs
and fats, or vegetables and fruits, and
(hat, on the other band. It Is not de
ficient in any of theso types of food.
Should Eat a Variety.
In general. Habit and custom, shaped
by normal appetites, liuve led to the
general adoption of adequate and va
ried diets in most fnmilies where tho
means ure sullicient for any range of
choice. Thus when input, a food rich
In nitrogeu, is oaten, potato, rice, bread
or some other starchy food and fruits
and vegctalscs und perhaps foods of
the other types usually are served with
it. If a person's food habits are good
he will oat u reasonable quantity of
all the foods provided and obtain a
varied meal and not a one sided one,
as might otherwise bo tho case.
Tho list of foods given at the end of
this article are intended to show differ
ent types of food and different exam
ples of each type. If tho foods com
bined in tho diet are chosen according
to those types that Is, according to
tho purpose ouch group serves iu tho
body and are eaten iu proper propor
tion, the meals will furnish ull the
kinds of nourishing elements which
the body needs. The five types or
groups are:
First. Foods depended upon for min
eral mutter, vegetable nclds nnd body reg
ulating substances, such us fruits and suc
culent vegetables.
Second. Foods depended upon for pro
tein, such as milk, eggs, meut and dried
legumes.
Third. Foods depended upon for starch,
such as cereal breakfast foods, flours,
meals and foods made from them.
Fourth. Foods depended upon for sugar,
such as sugar, molasscB, sirups, honey,
jams, thick preserves, dried fruits, sweet
cakes and dessert.
Fifth. Foods depended upon for fat,
such as butter, cream, salad oil and other
table fats, lard, suet and other cooking
fats and oils, salt york and bacon.
Must Have Some of Each.
In order that the meals may supply
all the uecded nutritive elements, ouo
must make sure that all groups aro
well represented, not necessarily at ev
ery meal, but when tho family diet Is
considered day by day and week In
aud week out. Quuntitles should vary,
particularly of the energy yielding
foods, for persons engaged in differ
ent pursuits necessitating different
amouuts of exercise. The heavier the
work the more food Is needed. In
planning meals In accordance with the
method here suggested choose only a
few dishes and make sure thut the dif
ferent groups are represented In the
dally fare. Foods In groups 1 and 3
aro less expensive, as a rule, than
those iu group 2 and for this and other
reasons should bo used freely as
the basis of the diet, with sufficient
amouuts of foods from groups 2. i and
S to round out the meals. Remember
that tlie materials used in cooking or
served with foods Hour, eggs, milk, j
fat, sugar, etc. add their food value ,
to tho diet Hemember ulso that It Is
not necessary to supply nil the types
of food ut every meal, providing enough .
of each Is supplied In the course of j
the day. For example, if the foods ;
which are depended upon for nitrogen j
meat, eggs, milk, etc. are found In
abundance at breakfast nnd dinner it I
Is not necessary to Include them at ;
supper or lunch, or If a person prefers I
a light breakfast be may leave out the j
nitrogen rich food and perhaps some :
of the other foods In the morning nnd
make up for it at the noon and even
ing meals. In the following lists dishes
suitable for the different meals are
grouped according to the kind of nu
tritive materials which predominate in
each, and the groups ore given In tho
order In which they are usually intro
duced In family meals. Tho dishes
mentioned are examples ouly. House- j
keepers will readily think of dishes of

The Important thing Is to know which
foods beloir: to the different groups
and then to sen that all' the groups are
represented hi the family meals.
Breakfast.
Breakfast ' a much more elaborate
meal In sot: American families than
In others. Where It Is hearty all live
of the food groups may be represented. ,
though usually In dishes which do not i
require elaborate preparation and with

than from any other. When a lighter
breakfast Is preferred It usually con
sists mainly of the bread and cereul
foods (group 8), with a little fat aud
possibly sugar (groups S and 4) to
make it palatable, and perhaps a little
fruit (group 1). Such a breakfast Is
mado more hearty by Including milk
or an egg from the protein group
. (group 3). .
1. Fruits and Vegetables.
j Stewed prunes, dried peaches or oth
I er dried fruits or fresh or canned fruits
) when obtuiuublo at reasonable prices.
It preferred, sweet dried fruits, Juui or
thick preserves (representing also
group S) may be used Instead. Be
cause of their laxative properties as
well as food value succulent fruits are
eaten for brcakfust aud are particularly
desirable If vegetables and other fruits
are not freely used at other meals.

Eggs (scrambled, boiled, poached,
etc.), egg (oust, meat bulls, codfish

meut) and milk. ,
Milk taken with brcakfust cereals or
used as a beverage Is an Important
source of nitrogenous material, n gluss
supplying as much us two ounces of
i lean meut or ono egg. Cooking cereals
with milk Instead of water is a con
venient way of adding nitrogenous ma
terial to tho ine'ul.
4. Sugar and Other Sweets.
Sugar, sirup, molasses, honey, thick
dried fruits. Jam and heavy preserves.
Sugar, honey, molasses or sirups are
Usually added to other foods iu cook
ing or when they nro eaten. Dried
fruits may bo cooked wiih cereal and
so may tako tho pluco of sugar added
to them. This group serves much tho
sumo purpose In the body as group
3, but Is ordinarily used In smaller
quantities uud is Important for llavor
purposes as well as nutritive material.
5. Butter and Similar Foods.

similar foods) may be omitted or used
in smaller amounts, or If u still lighter
meal Is desired dessert (represented by

ONE FARMER SAVES
S540JNJNE YEAR
H. West, of Scappoose, Tells
What Good Roads Mean
to Him.
H. West, farmer and dairyman, liv
ing near Scappoose, Is an enthusiastic
upporter of tho road bond bill that
will be before the voters for tholr ap
proval at tho special election June 4.
He Is tor the read bonds because the
value ot good roads has been demon
strated to him conclusively. Through
tho construction of a macadam road
by which ho is enabled to send milk
and cream to market by auto truck,
Mr. West last year saved $540.
"Before the macadam road was
built," according to Mr. West, "I bad
to haul my milk and cream by team
to Scappoose. But now an auto truck
call at my home dally, delivers my
dairy products In the Portland market
and on the return trip brings groceries
and other supplies right to my door.
Due entirely to the macadam road, my
saving last year In markottng the
products of my dairy alone was $540.
This estimate does not Include the
saving that has attended the market
ing ot my farm products and the de
livery ot freight and other supplies at
my home.
"By hard-surfacing this macadam
road, my savings due to Improved
roads will be even greater for with the
completed road the cost of operating
auto trucks will be further reduced.
Yes, I am enthusiastically In favor of
the road bond bill.
OPPOSITION TO ROAD
BONDS IS REMOVED
"When It Is explained that the ex
pense of providing the crushed rock
base on the roads to be hard-surfaced
will be borno by the Btale and not re
quired of the counties, opposition to
tho road bond bill is largely removed,"
Bays Winnie Brnden, of Dallas, Secretary-Treasurer
of Polk County Bettor
Roads Association. "It has heon my
experience that It Is only necessary
to nequalnt tho individual opponent ot
the road bond meusuro with the pro
visions of the hill to make him a con
vert to tho good roads movement. Tho
people of Polk County uniformly with
other progressive people ot tho state
want good roads. All that is demand
ed by them is tho assurance that tho
funds to be raised by the proposed
boud Issue will bo 'applied economical
ly In the construction of the greatest
possible mileage of serviceable ronds
of a permanent aud enduring charac
ter. "With this assuranco and the fur
ther guarantee that ample funds are
provided in the increused uutomobllo
license, which will have to bo paid
anyway, to meet both interest and
principal of the bonds, the voters of
my section of the Btute are more
strongly favoring the road bill."
Thoro Is more Catarrh In this section of
tho country than all other dlscaseu put

treatment, pronounced It Incurable. Scl
