SOUP VALUES DISCUSSED TJse of Meats and Broths Advised by Sirs. A. King Wilson and Plans for Further Discussion of - Food Costa Are Made. Steadily rising: food costs stared Portland housewives in the face yes- terday as they met in Library Hall to consider efficiency In housekeeping. Eince the last meeting in the series, which Is lreld mnder the auspices of the Portland 'Woman's Club, two weeks ago, meats have risen, appreciably in price and even the lowly potato Is at taining to the rank of a luxury. "Lamb, beef, pork and veal have grone higher since our last meeting." said Mrs. J. D. Spencer, who spoke on the art of soup-making. "This is the time of year when animals are stall fed and because of the higher prices f grain, meats are advancing. Chick ens are also higher." But it was when Mrs. Epenoer spoke of substitutes for the potato, usually About the cheapest of all foodstuffs, that the -audience of housewives sat vi p and gave more strict attention. Mrs. Spencer said that when one must Say $3 for a sack of potatoes, it is lgh time to use them Judiciously. Manx Substitutes Available. One looks at a potato now with re spect," said Mrs. Spencer. "Soon the potato may be considered a Sunday delicacy. Even now it la well to use them only when they are an essential and necessary complement to the chief Item of a meal. "Substitutes for potatoes are fund In macaroni and similar foods, barley, rice, noodles, etc. These take the place quite well of the potato in many dishes and the expensive tuber Is not so indis pensable as It Is commonly believed." "Sufficient soups" was the term ap plied by Mrs. Spencer to cream soups that contain much nourishment, as well as have appetizing properties. She described in detail how to make vari ous cream and fish soups, the basis for all being milk and a cream sauce. Women Jot Down Ideas. Mrs. A. King Wilson spoke on meat soups. She emphasized the importance of the stock pot in every household and told of the many delightful edibles that can be accomplished by a skilled cook with the meat stock and broths as a basis. She gave recipes for a. number of coups, all adaptations of the basic meat stocks. Both talks were of a most interesting character and the large number of women present followed the talks closely and asked numerous ques tions. Many took notes. Because of the evident interest in the series, another meeting will be held at Library Hall two weeks from yester day, at which potato substitutes. Win ter vegetables and puddings win be discussed. It is hoped to have a demon stration of some sort at the next meet ing. Mrs. C. B. Simmons, acting presi dent of the Portland Woman's Club, presided yesterday. HXXTS OX GOOD MEAfcS GIVEN Menus Are Aimed at High Cost of Living; Buy Now Is Advice. A number of helpful suggestions for the combat against high living costs are being made lor the benefit of Port land housewives by the advisory com' mittee of the Parent-Teacher Council, and another Thursday menu which has been prepared contains dishes which can be provided at unusually low oost. Canned salmon is one of the dishes Tor which the committee has made spe cial arrangements.

Ask your dealer. Jaque Mfg. Co Chicago have objected to following: the order laid down by the union making def inite rates for various sized cars and fixing midnight as the hour when the 5-cent jitney fare shall be discontinued. Xhe insurgents want the 6-cent fare to terminate at S o'clock, at night instead of midnight. Tho drivers who have bolted have refused to take the rate cards as filled out by the union, and instead have applied to Commissioner Dieck for new cards in which they will fill out rates to suit themselves. The bolting driv ers are said to number about half the members of the union. The effect of the insurgents' plan would be that the city would have no Jitneys after 9 o'clock at night, but would pay regular taxicab rates after that hour.

Why this highly nourishing Food is so Inexpensive THE most economical food is that which gives most body-building nutriment for every cent you pay. Foods Z refined by costly processes are really the most expen- 2 sive because they lose so much of their essential dark parts S containing the body-building protein and saline elements. Dr. Jackson's Roman Meal 1 is an, inexpensive food because it is so rich in these precious body-bull dine elements. It is actually better tissue builder than meat. It costs so more than wheat or oats used alone, yet it is so much more nourish ing! Besides, it prevents in digestion and relieves constipa tion without the use of costly drugs, or we return your money. Roman Meal is composed of entire berries of wheat and rye with flaxseed and bran. the flaxseed is rendered absolutely tasteless and odorless by electricity. It is the dark parts of grains that contain the body-building ele ments and health' preservers. The white parts are mostly starches which cannot possibly build up tis sue. Any food that is deficient in body nutri ment is dear at any price, especially if it gets you into trouble. When the bowel DoriTST.n Doublej roibrj-i e o o muscles do not act, due to impoverished food, which is also lacking in waste, you have con stipation. Roman Meal is a fully balanced ration, highly nutritious, and having the cor rect amount of waste. It in cites the digestive tract to full natural action and positively relieves constipation. Ask your doctor. Roman Meal makes the most delicious porridge when you follow directions and do not stir it while cooking. Never stir it except while mixing meal and water or you positively spoil the porridge. Stirring while cooking de stroys the granular form and restores the taste of flax which Dr. Jackson removed by electricity. Roman Meal also makes splendid bread, pancakes, muffins, cakes, etc all kinds of delicious baked products. At all grocers. Reman Meal Co..
