THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS:
There is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ac
complish this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element In proportion to its means.
It Is a matter of equality of bur
den; a matter of minute saving
and substitution at every point in
the 20 000,000 kitchens, on the 20,
000 COO dinner tables, and in the
2 000 000 manufacturing, whole
sale and retail establishments of
the country.
Constant Sufferer Finds Relief
“I have been a constant suffer
er from kidney trouble and was
down sick in bed,” writes C. F.
Reynolds, 412 Herrick St., Elmi
ra> N. Y. “I commenced taking
Foley Kidney Pills. In a few
days I was up out of bed.” Rec
ommended for rheumatic pains,
backache, billiousness, sore mus
cles, stiff joints, ‘‘tired out”
feeling. Red Cross Drug Co.
WHEATLESS BISCUITS.
Parched cornmeal Is the feature of
these excellent wheatless biscuits.
First, the cornmeal—one-half a cup—
is put in a shallow pan placed In the
oven and stirred frequently until it
is a delicate brown. The other ingre
dients are a teaspoon of salt, a cup
of peanut butter and one and a half
cups of water. Mix the peanut but
ter, water and salt and heat. While
this mixture is hot stir in the meal
which should also be hot. Beat thor
oughly. The dough should be of such
consistency that It can be dropped
from a spoon. Bake in small cakes
in an ungreased pan. This makes 16
biscuits, each of which contains one
sixth '•of an ounce of protein.
IMITATION LUXURIES.
“Does the idea of war bread alarm
you ?”
“Not at all. But I come from a
section of the country where people
insist on having pie. And I must
admit that the idea of war pie is a
little disconcerting.”

DEPTH AT WHICH SHIPS SINK
Any Heavy Body Will Go to the Bot
tom, Since Water Is Nearly In
compressible, Is Claim.
One of the most frequent inquiries
in relation to the sinking of vessels
is “Does a vessel that sinks go to the
bottom?” Replying to such ques
tions the Scientific American says:
“The belief seems to be widely
held that at a certain depth an iron
ship or an iron ball will remain sus
pended, floating about and never
reaching the bottom. These inquirers
evidently confuse weight and pres
sure. A body sinks in a fluid when
it weighs more than the fluid which
it displaces, which evidently has the
same volume as the body. For this
reason any heavy body will go to the
bottom in water, since water is near
ly incompressible.”
An engineer of high repute took
exception to this statement, assert
ing that at a depth of 33.7 miles wa
ter would be as dense as cast iron,
and therefore cast iron would float
at that depth. The Scientific Amer
ican exposed the fallacy of this ar
gument, and now publishes a letter
from “an authority connected with
the geographical laboratory, Wash
ington,” containing calculations of
the specific gravity of water at
depths up to 36 miles. These prove
that if there be water at any such
depths it is frozen solid in the dense
form of ice, frozen by the pressure
of the water above it, since the freez
ing point of water is lowered by pres
sure.
HIS IDEA
Wix—I see by this paper that
more than one-half of the world’s
population is feminine.
Nix—I don’t believe it. If it were
so how do you account for the fact
that one-half of the world doesn’t
know how the other half lives?
MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.
In the meatless menu there Is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour
ishing dishes, according to E. H. JS'ilew,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coining of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus of pfrain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
a broad* field for investigation.
