HELP YOURSELF BY HELP ING THE PRODUCER "It is a perfectly obvious ec onomic law that if the producer does not find a ready market and receive a fair compensation for his product, production will fall off and higher prices vill result." - Federal Food Adimnistrator "W. B. Ayer calls attention of the Oregon public to the nut shell axiom as it applies to Oregon cheese and Oregon potatoes. In these two important food commodities the producer has done his share, Mr. Ayer points out, and now it is up' to the con sumer. "The best of Oregon cream . cheese and Oregon potatoes are now to be had in abundant quantities and at reasonable prices," said Mr. Ayer in an hi terview, "and Oregon people should make a liberal use of both in their diet. In potatoes are united an abundant and easily digested supply of starch and valuable mineral salts, with a distinctive appeal to the palate. Of this valuable food we have a splendid supply this year, and tnere should be a greater consumption of this Oregon product in this state, the nearer the point of produc tion the better, as all railroad shipping space is needed for the transportation of other import ant commodities. "Cheese is one of the most useful foqds that Ve can now "buy. It contains in condensed form practically all the food value of milk and as rich in pro tein. Americans have largely depended upon meat for pro tein, and since we must con serve meat, we are fortunate In having a good supply of cheese at hand to make up the defic iency. Oregon cream cheese Is of splendid quality, and may be prepared in many appetizing Ways for use as a meat substi tute. Every Oregon family should eat more of this whole some, home-grown food, and thereby not only vary their cus tomary diet, but at the same time give needed support to two important Oregon industries the manufacture of cheese and the dairying industry. Let every one eat more cheese." PLANNING FOR CARE OF IN JURED SOLDIERS Plans for caring for members of the expeditionary forces who toay be returned from Europe unfit. for further service, include, besides the necessary Surgical nnd medical attention, instruc tion In the use of injured nnd artificial limbs, and vocational training. Tho experience of Canada and European allies in his work hnB boon of great value to tho United States Gov ernment in arranging Its plans Equipment for heat treat ments and electric and hydro therapy will bo provided; gyni- rnstums will .furnish oppor tunity for special exerelsj fot reeducation in the use of joints, muscles, and nerves which have been affected in service; In curative workshops the man will perform useful work which at the same time will bring these parts into activity. The aim will be to return every man Into civil life able to be self-supporting and useful, and not dependent merely upon the pension he will receive from the Government. EXTRACTS FROM DIARIES OF GERMAN SOLDIERS lb The 94-page booklet "Ger man War Practices" published by the Committee on Public In formation, devotes one section to extracts from German war diaries, among them being the .following: "A shell burst near the Eleventh Company, and wound ed Seven men, three very se verely. At 5 o'clock we were ordered by the officer in com mand of the regiment to shoot all the male inhabitants of Nomeny, because the popula tion was foolishly attempting to stay the advance of the German troops by force of arms. We broke into the houses, and seized all who resisted, in order to execute them according to martial law. The houses which had not benn already destroyed by the French artillery and our own were set on fire by us, so that nearly the whole town was reduced to ashes. It is a terri ble sight when helpless women and children, utterly destitute, arq herded together and driven into France." (From the diary of Pvt. Fischer, Eighth Bavarian Regiment of Infantry, Thirty- third Reserve Division.)

SCHOOL NEWS. a The following poem was written by Anna Bldwell, a post-graduato and was used on tho cover of the last Issue of the Soldier's Joy. The sky is overcast and grey Wind-whipped clouds . like driven devils danco I'm wondering how he'll spend his Christmas day Somewhere In FranceT Will someone wish him joy that day Amidst the driven snow perchanco Or will he go in loneliness his way ' Somewhere in France? What death, grey-robed, may. come his way ' What horror and what peril round him glance Oh, God! Be thou this Christmas day Somewhere in France. We are all finding out bow little we really know. We're having quizzes this week. ... W Wanna McKinney was absent from school yesterday.

Fifteen years is the length of time one may add to his life by upplylng what Is now known of personal hy giene. This statement was made by the Itoosevelt conservation commission In Its report on natlonul vitality. The flmlliiKH of the commission reversed the ImprcsKious of a generation ago that the aVcrngc human lifetime was a Qxcd allotment decreed by fate. It teaches now that our doom Is a varia ble thing und that It is more or less in our power to control. Learning how to live is the secret of how one may add fifteen years to his life. Individual hygiene, or the hy giene of personal habits, according to tho commission, contains possibilities of self improvement far beyond what ninety-nine persons out of a hundred huve ever nvlized. In other words, only I per rent of peoplq today know how to live. The other 09 per cent nre victims of improper living habits and the customs of our boasted civilization. They have not learned to order their lives according to their physical needs, They nre content to tolerute bad air, bad food, imperfect teeth, wrong pos ture. lmproicr clothing, constipation, self drugging, alcoholism and other conditions of tho uvcrugo life. The 09 per cent who have not learn ed how to llvo, says the commission, are responsible for the increase of 41 per cent in the country's death rate from wear, and tear diseases in twenty years. Weur and tear diseases are said to bo tho byproduct of civilization, not that civilization is all wrong, but that people have not yet learned to ad Jost their habits of living to Its do, nomas.
