Work or Fight When He Is Hungry”—We Must Feed Our Soldiers. “We have the preservation of the world on our hands. Every single living human being in this republic, from ocean to ocean, should make it his or her special purpose to save food.” These are the words of E. F. Cullen, personal representative of Herbert C. Hoover, in a recent address. "Men will resist any power but the power of starvation." said Mr. Cullen. "Hunger in the final analysis, I b the only force that can weaken a nation and demoralize an army. Food is strength, and without a perpetual sup ply of strength, the world can stand in danger of tottering. weakening and falling into utter chaos. A man can not think, work or fight if he is hun gry "The allies today are practically wholly dependent upon the United States for food. Upon this nation rests the responsibility of preserving the world from Prussianism. This is the task of the people of this nation— to produce and save food enough to keep a steady stream of essential sup plies moving towards the front so long as it shall be necessary to wage this war. If at any time we fail in this, we must inevitably go down, with the allies, to defeat. This is no ex aggeration, but a serious tact. It is the purpose of the United States Food Administration to bring the realiza tion of this fact home to every Ameri can man. woman and child, and to en list the individual aid of our hundred million people in producing and sav ing food. The Food Administration is not asking you to eat less; it only urges that you substitute one nutri tious food for another equally nutri tious food, thus saving the vital sta ples needed by our armies and the armies and peoples of the allies. We must, during the next three months, save wheat especially. Our surplus has already been shipped abroad, and a hundred million bushels more are needed. When you eat a slice of bread less, omit the crackers with your soup, or otherwise conserve on wheat prod ucts, you are contributing towards the hundred million bushels needed over there by our fighting man and the exhausted people of Belgium. France and England who have for more than three years been bearing the brunt of this war, which is our war. Keep this in mind, and bring it before the minds of your thoughtless friends and neigh bors.” FOOD ADMINISTRATION FACTS Still With Us. Wifey (reminiscently)—oh! for the good old days. George. Ilubhy—What old days, Susan? Wlfe.v—Why, the days of our grand parents, when there were so many brass knockers. Hubby—H'm! Marie, there are plenty of knockers around now. and all of them seem to have abundance of brass. No Light on the Subject. “Who is the author of the saying: “Meeting the devil before day?” ask- a correspondent of the Adams Enter prise, and the editor replies: “Dunno. Sometimes we are under the Impression that we said It ourself, after we had successfully dodged a well-aimed kerosene lamp, on a 3 a. m. stairway.” Blended Emotions. “What n peculiarly Interesting face your friend, the poet, has." gurgled the romantic maiden. “It seems to com bine the elements of sorrow and happi ness. each struggling for supremacy.” “He looks to me more like a man who was married and didn’t know it,” replied the cynical bachelor.—Judge. A Natural Leader. “Were you fighting with that boy next door?” “No, mother.” replied Willie Wiggs. “We were not fighting. I found it nec essary for the welfare of the neighbor hood to discipline him. And he was so Indiscreet as to put up a show of re sistance.” HIS IDEA One ounce less of meat each day for everyone means a saving of 4,- 400,000 meat animals a year. Save your ounce. The sacrifice is small, but the result for your country is large. 1,186.000 tons of sugar will be saved the first year if each of us usee one ounce less each day. This will keep sugar plentiful and cheap. The Allies are all in the same boat, a long way from shore and on limited rations—and Lncle Sam is running the relief ship. Its up to us to save t"e cargo. Reduction, watchwords. Production—the Food will win the war. Produce it. 1918 Save it. If you run your household on three pounds of sugar a month per person, when fall comes the grocer won’t have to hang up the sign "No Sugar.” The second helplug Is getting to be bad form. There’s lots of money to go round, but bacon, beef and wheat can’t make •he circuit. Save your share. Waste and want are twin sisters and neither beautiful. Potatoes for Patriotism. By eating potatoes instead of wheat the people of the United States can help win the war We have not enough wheat for the Allies and our selves. We have an abundance of po tatoes. Wheat flour Is a concentrated food and therefore good for shipping; potatoes are bulky and are conse quently not suited for limited shipping apace, nor are the Allies so short of potatoes as of wheat. Next to cereals, potatoes have been In thia country the mainstay of starchy food, which supplies energy. The more potatoes we eat, the less wheat we need A mediumsized po tato, weighing about ounces, sup plies about as much starch as two small slices of wheat bread one half inch thick. In other respects also, the potato measures up wall with wheat bread and even has the advant age over it in supplying certain salts which the body needs to counteract the acidity resulting from the use of such foods as cereals, meat and eggs. By exercising her ingenuity the house wife can prepare potatoes in many different attractive ways, thus Increas ing their proportion in the family diet and conserving wheat and other sta ples needed for shipment abroad An Important use of potatoes, also. Is tn the mixing of breads, in which mash ed potatoes up to fully ten per cent may be used without detracting from its appearance or taste: In fact, many persons bold that potatoes properly mi>"d In bread, improves both appear ance and flavor. “Hard luck again.'* “Why ao?” “Just got lilt with a horse and cart; when It might have been an uutomo- bile."

Present Responsibilities. “Now, the economic conditions we’ll have to meet when the war Is over—" “You're away ahead of your story, friend." said Senator Sorghum. “What we’ve got to do now Is to look after the economic conditions now required to get the war over.” Outmatched. “Do you think the widow Is setting her cup for him?” “No; she tells me he Is clever but impossible."
