Clama are almost an essential foo& and in "Pioneer Minced Sea Clams" they are served to the most fastidious appetite in the most delicious form. They seem actually to impart the subtle es sences of the sea the original flavor is fully preserved, and when you open a can of "PioneeP' the very oceanside seems to come with it ! There is nothing to compare with this fine sea food, enjoyed by child or adult, providing for the body elements excellent for health. Why Superior? Try a Can of "Pioneer" and Be Convinced!

Kollosrina- the appointment of Brifra dier-Ueneral White aa tha bead of the British and Canadian Recruiting Mis sion to the United States, he made . tour through the states, visiting Port- ; land, among other places, and on August 13. 117. an office waa opened : In Portland, at Third and Oak streets. ; In the old United States National Bank building, which was placed at the ' disposal of the mission by J. C Ains . worth.-tha president of the" United States National Bank. Unl CaaaaslKea Kasaed. While la Portland General White ap pointed the following men to act as a local advisory committee to further the Interests of recruiting here: W. J. Burns, chairman: 11. L. Sherwood. Will, lam McMaster. Peter Kerr. F. C Mal pas. K. Livingstone. These gentlemen have been a great assistance to tha lo cal recruiting officers. British subjects resident In the state of Oregon who up till'then had had lit flee, and for the six months that the office has been open in Portland a steady stream of men have been sent to Britain and Canada, until the num ber of men handled now exceeds 500. Since the commencement of recruit ing of British and Canadian subjects In the United States over 20.000 men have been assigned to various units, and many of these men are now on the various battle fronts.- Only a few days ago word was received that several men recruited for the Royal Engineers In Portland are assisting the allies on the Italian front. Brltoaa De Drafted. Although the voluntary recruiting has been considered very satisfactory, the demand for men to offset the In creased strength of the Germans on the western front caused by the col lapse of Russia, baa ted to the agree ment now being reached between the United States and British Governments whereby Britishers In the United States are to be placed on an equal footing with those in their home country, and all men between the ages of 20 and 40 are soon to be drafted. Practically every branch of the Brit ish and Canadian armies are at pres ent open to volunteers, and It behooves every British subject liable to be draft ed to enter the branch or nis prefer ence before It la too late. Although going after prospective re- crmlts Is by no means a pleasant duty. the day'a work Is often brightened up tie or no onnartunitv of orfrrlm their I bv llttla Dleaaing Incidents, and none services to their native country soon I Is more welcome to the recruiting of fi begao to report at the recruiting of-leers thaji the man who steps briskly up and wishes to know which Is the quickest route to take to get a "crack at the Huns. Although in the past quite a number of married men have forsaken their own fireside In the cause of humanity. the number of those leaving wives and children has very much Increased lately, due to the provision now being made to dependents by the British Patriotic Fund. Realizing the urgent need, the British societies in Portland are now devoting practically all their energies to the raising of this fund, so that no man will be held back on account of his dependents not being well cared for while he Is away, and this movement is spreading throughout the United States. Lieutenant J. I. Simpson, of the Irish Fusiliers of Canada, is In charge of the local recruiting office. He w.as re jected for overseas service In Septem ber, 1915, and early In 1916 was mob ilized for recruiting duty with his reg iment In Vancouver, B. C. Previous to hie being detailed to the local recruit ing office he opened a Canadian recruit ing office In Los Angeles, which is now the headquarters of the British and Canadian Recruiting Mission for South ern California. Lieutenant J. R. Burnet was commis sioned in August, 1914, with the Royal Fusiliers, London, England, and was declared medically unfit for overseas service nine months later. He was sent to the United States from England when the Recruiting Mission was start ed here, and has had a wide experience tn enrolling men for the army, having been recruiting officer for the Hounslow area in the South of England from Sep tember, 1915. to February, 1917, when over 6000 men were recruited In that district Sonune Veteraa oa . Staff. The other members of the recruiting staff at the local office are Sergeant H. Richards, who Joined the 10th Battal Ion. Canadian Expeditionary Force in August, 1914, and went overseas with the First Canadian Division.. He saw service with this battalion at Ypres Givinchy. Festubert. Hill 60, St. Eloi, The Somme and Vimy Ridge, and was invalided borne to Canada in Decern ber, 1917. Sergeant W. F. Carroll, went overseas with the 64th Battalion, Canadian Ex peditionary Force In August. 1916, and after taking part In the severe fight ing at St- .101 and the Somme. was wounded at the talcing of Regina Trench in November, 1916, and spent eight months In hospitals in England, He was returned to Canada as medical ly unfit for further service in July, 1917. Sergeant E. C. Simmons joined the 143d Battalion, C. E. F.. In March, 1916. and, although 50 years of age, went overseas in February, 1917. He was Injured by a motor transport in July, 1917, and was invalided home to Can ada in September, 1917. The local recruiting officers have adopted as their slogan the words of the late Lord Kitchener, used In his speech at the Guild Hall, London, early In 191a: "We need men, more men, and still more men," and the need was never greater than it is today.

"Carrying On" is the title of Major Ian Hay Belth's new lecture to be given In Portland .at the Auditorium under the auspices . of the Drama league, Wednesday night, February 27. for the benefit of the war relief funds. Part of the funds will go to take care of the dependents of Oregon men who are serving In the Canadian and British armies and do not benefit by the American Army Insurance plan. In view of this the British societies of Portland are active In selling tickets. Exchange tickets may be presented at Sherman, Clay & Co. beginning Monday. Those who heard Major Beith on his previous visit to this country will not need their memory Jogged as to his Identity, so unforgetable was his per sonality and the excellence of his lec ture. To those who have not had the pleasure cf hearing Major Beith It will bo- sufficient to indicate that he was the author of that widely read and in teresting human document, "The First Hundred Thousand." an account of the service of Kitchener's first army. As the Junior "Sub" of the.' Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders he saw service from the first, telling of it In a series of remarkable letters to a Scotch mag azine. Later these were gathered to gether and Issued In book form under the title "The First Hundred Thou- nd." tire title chosen, for his first lecture. The new lecture has to do with the more recent events of the V A-y' '.-! war, showing how the famous "K (I) has been "carrying on" a British ex pression which has no relation to the American idiom. Major Beith has spent the past three or four months In visiting scenes at the front and getting into close con tact, both on land and sea, with the men who are fighting for the world's freedom. He will give one of the first accounts brought back of the American Army at the front and of life on Amer ican ships at sea. With the ready assistance of the British Foreign Office he has been able to obtain wonderfully Interesting pic tures to Illustrate his lecture pictures that have never -been shown In this country. These, together with- the lec turer's own skill and ability graph ically to portray what he has seen, make certain an evening's entertain ment not alone of interest but of ben efit, fcr he tells his hearers things they long to know and which are only learned through someone who has been at the front and seen with his own eyes. Major Beith, formerly Captain Beith, wears the purple and white ribbon that Indicates the awarding of the Military Cross for bravery in action. Hints and Recipes Show How to Save Sugar.

This week hints on the conservation of sugar are given and some recipes for tne preparation 01 sugar-conserving iooas. Food " value Sugar gives heat and ener my. sugar la a concentrated food which Is quickly assimilated and therefore Is soon available to the body. We use largely for flavor psychological. Excessive use of sweets overtaxes digestive organs, tends to corpulency, and spoils the appetite for 1 highly-flavored but equally nutritious food. last is especially true with children. Consumption Americana consume four ounces of sugar per day two ounces Is ample. Food Administration asks us to Ilm it our consumption to three pounds per montn. ine amount needed depends upon activity ana omer xooas consumed. Way to conserve Train family to use lit tle or no sugar on the breakfast cereal. Fruits eaten with cereal or dried fruits, raisina, dates, figs, etc. cooked with It will make the use of sugar unnecessary. Cereals require less sugar If well cooked and care fully salted. Reduce the use of soft drinks. Limit the use of sugar In tea or coffee. Use recipes calling ror small amounts of sugar. Reduce the use of candles and cakes. Dis courage the use of candy between meats. Use no Icing on cakes- Use syrups, as corn syrup, molasses, sorghum, honey, whenever possible. Use more fruits, both fresh and dried, to give the desired sweet flavor to diet. Substitutions In cooking when sugar Is replaced by syrups a slight reduction in liquid Is necessary. Soda (about K tea spoon) is added when honey or syrup Is used in place of sugar. Cake One-quarter cup fat, 1 cup sugar (corn syrup), 2 eggs, cup milk. 1 cups floir (barley). 2 teaspoons baking powder, teaspoon flavoring. A simple cake of this kind lends Itself to many substitutions. War cake One cup brown augar, X cup water, 2 cups seeded raisins, one-tblrd cup hardened vegetable fat, H teaspoon nutmeg. 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 4 teaspoon clovea, salt, 1 teaspoon soda, S cups flour ( H bar ley), 1 teaspoon baking powder.
