How many potatoes are you eating? This is a question the Food Adminis tration wants every loyal American to ask himself or herself. Strange as it Tr.ay seem, the eating of potatoes at this time is a practical war service. according to a recent Food Adminis tration bulletin, which points out that Ih'.s nation now has a large potato surplus on hand and that this valuable food, unless eaten within the next two months, will be lost through sprouting ar.d rotting. Ey eating of potatoes liberally, every family can save a sub stantial amount of other food, particu larly of wheat. By eating up the sur plus of potatoes the nation will also prevent serious loss to the potato producer, who needs to be encouraged to grow rrnxtmum crops during the ccmin:; year. "Domestic science experts have fig ured that: One ordinary baked potato equals in nourishment one thick slice of wheat bread. "Potatoes at one and one-half to two cents a pound have more food value than bread at ten cents a loaf. "Potatoes are healthful. They im prove the general tone of the system by their wholesome action on the di gestive organs. They are easiest on the stomach of all vegetable foods. They are easy on the kidneys because of the minimum of nitrogen they con tain. They are easy on the intestines because of the tenderness and small proportion of their cellulose and the fine division of starch. "Potatoes are valuable in the diet of the sick. They can be eaten with benefit by people suffering from dys pepsia, anemia, diabetes, Bright's dis ease, cardiac affections, intestinal troubles, constipation, hyperacidity, artiritis, gout, liver complaints, etc. "Always serve potatoes with meat," concludes the Food Administration bulletin. "Never serve bread and potatoes." Range Xirt Promising. W. W. Cryder, mpervisor of the Umatilla forest, who has just return ed from an inspection trip, says that the conditions in the forest are not so promising as th.y were some weeks ago. There has been but lit-; tie water in the mountains this year land the weather lr.tely ha:; been cold so that the grass has been held back, j I The water is lower than usual, also. : Xo. 228.

J. Burdette. The firing line is now in your kit chen. Knock out the breadline at your table. It has been said that the Revolu tionary War was won by men fed on hasty pudding, in other words, corn meal mush. Let It be written in his tory that the winning of the present war was made possible by the United States eating potatoes. The manner of eating, the time of eating and even the kind of foodstuffs eaten are largely a matter of habit. We do not desire to break ourselves entirely of the habit of eating or life would not prove worth living, but it can be made to prove better worth living if we change some of the habits. Suppose we cure ourselves of .the hand-eating habit and see if we do not consume less bread. If you were to put your bread and butter on your plate and eat it with a knife and fork ; it would reduce the amount of bread j eaten at once. In some of the Oriental j countries men carry strings of bright j red wooden beads that are known as I "Conversation beads," and they seem j unable to talk unless they have them in their hands to play with and pass j from one hand to the other. We seem to need something in our hands at j table or we feel the meal Is Incomplete ' and that something is usually bread. Forget this habit and save wheat. If you must continue the hand-eating habit, hold a hot potato. Mate of Oregon, County of Morrow, ss. I, W. O.

How to Increase World' Bread Ration With famine creeping through Eu rope, and every nation struggling to produce enough food to sustain life, the American farmer has a duty that he can not shirk. America must ship food to Europe for our soldiers. America must supply bread to starv ing peoples. No matter what other crops are raised, more acres should be devoted to bread grains. "Do your bit, Mr. Farmer," says a Food Ad ministration bulletin. "Success de pends upon you in this world war.'1 West Point is on a food-conservation basis, and the health of the cadet corps Is better than ever. All bread used is composed of 45 per cent wheat flour, 45 rye, and 10 per cent white bolted grain flour; and many cadeti consider it superior to the former white bread. Sugar consumption has been cut down, meatless days and meals are rigidly observed, and the reduced amount of meat has been beneficial to health, A lesson from a reliable source, Taking It From Babies. "Every ounce of wheat products in excess of six pounds per month that you eat; Mr. American Citizen, Is that much literally taken from the mouths of the starving women and children of France," says a Food Administra tion bulletin. "The armed allies may go without wheat, but these innocents will actually die unless we give them of ours in generous proportion." Victory bread Is received with hear ty approval. But don't be satisfied to use It on a vbeatless day or at a wHeatless meal, bscauae It Isn't wheat-loss. 3 The Price of Cotton is soaring Higher, ever Higher,' but the Price of Worthmore Waists and Welworth Blouses STILL REMAINS THE SAME! 44 flP llfr Before the War the Price of these Popular Garments were $i.oo and $2.00 And they still remain at the same Price Before the War these Garments were regarded as the best value that money could buy.
