Don't Eat Less—But Eat Better ■
How to prevent waste and at the same time perfectly nour
jj ish the human body is a matter of intelligent food selection.
There is no need of anyone going hungry. Americans should not
eat less —they should eat better. They should eat foods that sup
ply the greatest amount of digestible nutriment at the lowest cost.
m
The whole wheat grain is the most perfect food given to man.
It contains every element needed for building healthy tissue
and furnishing energy for the day's work.
But be sure you get the whole wheat grain, afid be sure you
get it in a digestible form.
| Shredded Wheat Biscuit
| i -
is 100 per cent, whole wheat grain prepared in a digestibleiforje.
Every particle of the whole wheat berry is used —nothing wasffed,
nothing thrown away.
. It is what you digest, not
what you eat, that furnishes
energy for the human body.
We make the whole wheat
| digestible by steam cooking, jjj
I Two or three of these little loaves
1 a of baked whole wheat with milk,
sliced bananas, berries, peaches, or
other fruits, make a nourishing, satis
tying meal at a cost of & few cents.

accounts of work done by the Red
Cross and urgent need for supplies at
the front, where shortages would
prove a serious handicap. She as
serted that men are more willing to
flght if they know assistance will be
immediately given if they are wouml
ed, and this work depends on the Red
Cross. Mrs. M. B. Ib&ch, of Mechan

Blaze Up in Censer at St.
Ignatius Catholic Church
Gettysburg, Aug. 31.—Timely en
trance of the rectSr. the Rev. Father
William W. WJialen, into St. Ignatius
Catholic Church in Buchanan Valley
probaby saved the building from de
struction by tire from a very unusual
cause. The summer in the valley has
been very productive of butterflies
and have come into the quietude
of the church. A censer filled with
oil burning in the chancel continu
ously made a refuge for the flitting
irsects, while the burning oil at
tracted them. Falling wingless, they
became a solidified mass in the bowl
and acted as a wick in the oil. When
Father Whalen entered the church he
fcund the censer ablaze, the flame
leaping almost to the ceiling. It
would have been only a short time
until the glass bowl would have burst
and scattered the burning,oil over
the building, which is more than one
hundred years old.
