Charity Is Not Contemplated, but

For While Head Is Awuy.
George L. Baker, Mayor of Portland,
plans to launch in the immediate
future an Immense drive for funds
with which to Insure the comfort and
care of every man. woman and child
who may be left without means of sup
port throughout the state of Oregon
because of the war.
A drive for a half million dollars
will be undertaken, according to his
plans announced yesterday, just as soon
as he is able to arrange for a, state
wide organization of men and women
sufficiently interested in the great
cause represented to handle its affairs
in every nook and corner of Oregon.
Tn the organization of this new plan
there will be required a. large working
force, and it is the intention of Mayor
Baker to ask every society in the
state the members of which are suffi
ciently interested in relief work to do
bo (and he feels this will include them
fell) to elect one member to go on an
all-Oregon committee for the purpose
of handling the big programme.
Members of Ability Wanted.
v The object to be sought by Mayor
Baker is that of making it certain at
the outset that, no matter how long
the war lasts or who is called, that the
families of those who go to the front
and offer their lives for the country
from Oregon shall not want for the ne
cessities and comforts of life. He
plans an organization the members of
which shall be picked for their peculiar
ability along these lines, and which
ball embrace the whole state.
The Mayor, who has been active along
patriotic lines and has taken special
Interest in everything military from
the outbreak of the war, will issue in
the near future an official invitation to
every club, society or organization
whatsover throughout the state, the
members of which are desirous of as--ststing
in the successful prosecution of
the conflict, to elect one member to the
seneral committee.
Owing to the wiSe territory to be
covered and the number of organiza
tions which will be represented, he said
yesterday that it will not be feasible to
accept as members of the general com
mittee more than one individual from
each organization throughout the state.
Central Hoard Proposed-
When the names of those elected for
the purpose expressed have been certi
fied to Mayor Baker he will outline a
plan of organization which will ef
fectually put the general plan into
working order. It will be necessary to
form a central board, the members of
which will act as an executive com
mittee, directing opeVations from a cen
tral point.
Complete detailed plans for the con
duct of the big task of raising a half
million dollars to be used for relief
purposes purely as a patriotic duty and
In no sense as charity will be framed
in due time. The first feature of the
programme will be the call for election
of members by all organizations
throughout the state. This detail will
be cared for soon. Owing to the great
amount of work attached to the prop
osition, the Mayor probably will issue
his formal call through the press of the
state in the form of an official invita
tion to participate.
Every daily and weekly newspaper
In the state will be asked to co-operate
with Mayor Baker in this big move
ment on 'he basis of patriotic duty to
those left behind by the boys who are
sent to the front. In this manner, every
secion of Oregon, no matter how re
mote, will be put in constant touch
with the move and with the subsequent
workings of the general committee and,
in turn., every citizen will be kept in
formed! on the progress of the cause.
. Plan Long Considered.
"I have had in mind for some time
a plan whereby all dependents of sol
diers in Oregon shall be insured
against want or discomfort," said the
Mayor yesterday, in announcing: his
plan.
"It looks like the war is going to
last a long time and, it naturally fol
lows, that a good many men are going
to be called from this state. In the
nature of things, there is going to be
a lot of grief for those left behind.
' unless someone takes the initiative
and arranges for means with which to
guarantee comfort and plenty for such
as may become dependents.
"We don't want any charity, in the
usual meaning of the word, for people
living in a house from which one or
more men have gone forth to fight for
the country; we want to know that
every family is cared for on the basis
of patriotism which is their right.
9500,000 la Wanted.
"I am proposing to organize this
atate-wide committee for that purpose.
I want to get a big, hard-working
committee of men and women, repre
senting everything that exists for
right purposes to go after a half mil
lion dollars and to get that amount
right away so we will know that wo
have something with which to work.
"I will issue a call for members for
wthis committee soon, asking every or
ganization in the state to elect one
member for work on the general com
mittee. When that has been done,
further details of the plan will be laid
before those selected, and I believe we
will be able to do this job right."

How to prevent waste and at the same time perfectly nour
ish the human body is a matter of intelligent food selection.
There is no need of anyone going hungry. Americans should not
eat less they should eat better. They should eat foods that sup
ply the greatest amount of digestible nutriment at the lowest cost.
The whole wheat grain is the most perfect food given to man.
It contains every element needed for building healthy tissue
and furnishing energy for the day's work.
But be sure you get the whole wheat grain, and be sure you
get it in a digestible form.

Every particle of the whole wheat berry is used nothing wasted,
nothing thrown away.
It is what you digest, not
what you eat, that furnishes
energy for the human body.
We make the whole wheat
digestible by steam cooking,
shredding and baking.
Two or three of these little loaves
of baked whole wheat with milk,
sliced bananas, berries, peaches, or
other fruits, make a nourishing, satis
