McCANN Shoulder and round arc not only cheaper than porterhouse and sirloin, but, when properly cooked, are the most nutritious, juciest and most fla voVful of all the cuts of meat-produc m lnjr animals—Now is the time to turn • the discomforts of our present rood shortage into future profit. We borrowed not corn alone from the aborigines of what is riow the United States and Canada. We owe much else to them that now stands forth with a hundred hints of how to get back from the wilderness of food less luxuries with which we are now surrounded to something of the sim plicity on which honest manhood, splendid womanhood and happy child hood are built. The Boston baked beans originated with the red man. It was he who cultivated the common haricot kidney bean sometimes cooked with corn, sometimes with meat. "Ham and beans" and "beans and bacon" are merely evolutions from "beans and bison," "beans and veni son," "beans and hare," "beans and duck." We can no longer indulge, unless on rare occasions we feast at pretentious clubs, on combinations of beans, bison, venison, or duck. In our recklessness we have de stroyed, wantonly, the vast herds and flocks with which bounteous provi dence supplied this country. However, we can still obtain the cheaper cuts of commoner meats, which, by the way, when properly cooked, are the best cuts. Beef and mutton are still with us. Shoulder and round, despised by the superficial and shallow housewife in the presence of porterhouse and sir loin, are the very cheapest, the most nutritious, the juiciest and most fla vorful of all the cuts of meat-pro ducing animals.

Fisher, 238 North St., Harrls burg, Pa. Last winter she had an at tack of measles, together with a very severe cold. Just at that time Drug gist S. J. Wilhelm presented Mr. # Fisher with a jar of the Southern "outside" treatment—Vtck's Vapoßub Salve, which was just then being in troduced in Hai risburg, and requested that he give this preparation a thor ough trial. Mr. Fisher writes— "l must say that our baby had such a cold on her chest and in her throat that she could hardly talk, and we could not get her to take anything internally. After we used Vick's Vapoßub Salve on her breast and throat at night before going to bed she was entirely relieved." No family should be without this preparation. It is externally applied, and so can be used freely—it Is ab sorbed through and penetrates the skin, and, in addition. Is Inhaled as a vapor.

By their help we can convert the foolishly despised cheaper cuts of | meat into the most appetizing and. nourishing of stews, potroasts, or meat-bean combinations. We can stalk through a mass of high school ologies, but we cannot make a bowl of gravy worthy of the name! With hogs going as high as sls a hundred on the hoof, ham and beans and beans and bacon fly far out of the reach of many, but shoulder and round, if we will only get back to first principles, are still available. The Indians utilized wild rice, still to be found in the regions around the Great Lakes. Professor Jonks. quoted by Wiley and ltines, advocates the cultivation of wild rico on a large scale by the 1 whites as a valuable addition to the food supply of the country. Whether we cultivate wild rice or not we have at hand in immense quan tities natural brown rice, which is just as good a food as whole corn, whole wheat, wholfe barley or whole rye. Doubtless if they had not been driven by necessity the Russians, Ger mans, and French would not have re turned to these whole grains during the past two years. The fact that they have returned to them is signifi cant to us, or should be. As far as food economy is concerned wo are actually at war. Even the Indians themselves learned to appreciate such a dish as wild rice only through the pressure of the whites who forced them more and more into closer quarters about the Great Lakes, thus cutting them off from the food resources so carefully cultivated by them. History not only threatens to re peat itself, it is repeating itself. In the early settlement of the west and northwest wild rice made possible the survival of the pioneer movements of American civilization. Henry in 1775 and Carver in 1776, as recorded in the American Educa tional Alliance Publication, "The United States, Its Beginnings, Prog ress and Modern Developments," re ferred to the fact that the great ex peditions to the rivers of the west and the preservation of the infant colonies beyond the settled east would not have been possible without wild rice. Yet wild rice as a delicious food does not compare with natural brown rice, of which millions of bushels are annually spoiled by the rico millers of the United States in their efforts to prepare the denatured "white head rice" now on the market. The fallacious arguments that corn and rice are milled to their present degree of refinement so that they "will keep" is put to shame not only by the methods of the Indians in keep ing these grains, but by other facts. The Indians stored and preserved their grains in pits, trenches and cribs. The modern crib is an Indian invention. Whole corn and whole rice will keep indefinitely if the protecting husk of the corn and rice are allowed to remain on the grains until they are ready to be ground. It is only when the grains are taken out of their overcoats and ground that they refuse to keep. Even when ground they will keep from October to May in cool climates. Their spoil age occurs only during the hot months. Throughout May, June, July, August and September they should be ground as needed. The fact that they will keep perfectly for a full month after being ground even in the hottest weather affords ample oppor tunity to market them. We bake our bread as needed. We roast our coffee as needed, and our distribution of milk from day to day adds the simplest kind of evidence of the feasibility of preparing whole grains, not a year or two in advance of their consumption as is now done, but as the requirements of the peo ple demand them. These, then, are some of the sug gestions which our food shortage ex perience makes for the benefit of the future. Others are to follow. England to Take Drastic Steps to Meet Food Shortage By Associated Press London, March 23.—The food ques tion is pressing daily with increasing stringency on the British public and, according to authoritative reports, a few days will see new and drastic steps on the part of the food con troller, Lord Devonport, to meet the situation and prevent exploitation of the public by traders. The controller announced in the house of lords to-day that although voluntary rations had brought about excellent results, much more in this direction was required; otherwise, it might bo necessary to resort to com pulsory rationing, whicl. would be a national calamity. A great reduction in bread and sugar was still impera tive. According to an unofflcial re port, the government intends to intro duce two meatless and two potatoless days weekly in all restaurants and hotels and to forbid more than five ounces of uncooked meat to be served for each person.

China to Honor Memory of Hay and Open Door By Associated Press Washington, D. C\, March 23. China is preparing to honor the mem ory of John Hay, founder of the policy of the open door, as no other for eigner living or dead has ever been | honored in China. Dr. V. Wellington Koo, Chinese minister here, ha 3 been advised by one of the leaders of the Chinese sen ate that a bill has been introduced in the parliament and was virtually assured of passage for the erection of a monument to the former American Secretary of State in the central park of Peking. John Hay is regarded by the Chinese as one of the best friends that country ever had. TO HEAD NORMAL SCHOOL Oshkosh, Wis.. March 23.—Presi dent John A. H.
