No Need to Go Hungry
While Conserving Food
rIS n mistaken idea that one must
go hungry in order to conserve
food. The only thing Uncle Sam is
asking is that you use judgment in
your eating nnd waste nothing.
Fish, eggs nnd cheese nro whole
some and palatable, nnd corn bread
is an excellent substitute for wheat.
By using these foods freely you will
get nlong ns well or better than you
ever did and nt tho same time will
leave plenty to send to the boys "over
there.1.
Fats ate fuel for the soldiers and
should be saved wherever possible.
Vegetable oils will do just as well In
the household. Save sugar, for it is
needed in the army. Never leave
any sugar in the bottom of your cup.
If the men and women of the
United States will observe these
simple rules they will be doing a bit
toward the winning of the war.

U hy means of 8urBery A radical
operation may bo now performed with
little risk, although twenty-five years ao
this operation was rightfully regarded ns
very hazardous An operation Is not ncces
saty, however, In every case of gallstones,

tenth of nil cases examined, from which
It appears that the great majority of peo

of their presence. Gallstones arc duo to
Infection and nro probablj' ono of tho many

Women suffer moro from constipation
than do men, and nro more likely to have
gallstones For temporary relief a hot bath

arc very useful measures.
It Is qulto poislblo tnat ono who lins
once had gallstones and has completely
recovered mav, by exercising due caie, avoid
recurrence Meats of all sorts should bo
discarded : also tea and coffee. In other

bo adopted. Thorough mastication of the
