War Time
Economy
By Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn
THE woman of the United States
has a mission to perform as
well as a great saving to ef
fect. The world has looked upon us
as a nation of great extravagance,
particularly in food, and now that
the people of several countries are
dependent upon America for food
supply and America is dependent
largely upon the attitude of the wom
an for its conservation, we have the
opportunity to set the standard, not
only of patriotic sacrifice, but to
demonstrate we can keep the wolf
from the door and the family at
home in excellent condition, thereby
relieving the physicians and nurses
for duty at the front. To do this re
quires not only the desire 'to be pa
triotic, but a willingness to study
the food question as we would be
compelled to do in any other branch
In which we wished to excel. Do not
fail to balance your meals and to do
this remember that a balanced meal
has a food from each of five groups:
First—Milk, cheese, beans, peas,
lentils, peanuts, fish, game, poultry
and meat.
Second—Cereals, oatmeal, cornmeal,
grits, rice, potatoes, tapioca, maca
roni.
Third Sugar, honey,' molasses,
syrups, jelly, etc. •
Fourth—Vegetables and fruits.
Fifth—Fats, butter, cream, vege
table oils and nuts.
You can exchange one food for an
other in any group, but it is not
permissible to exchange a food in
one group for a food in another
group. For example, cheese and
eggs may be used in place of meat,
but sugar cannot be used in place
of milk or meat or butter. Use milk
in abundance for growing children,
but do not waste a drop. Use it in
some way at every meal for chil
dren—they need it to enable them
to grow strong and keep well and it
is excellent for grown people, too.
Drink milk hot or cold, use it on
cereals, make it into cocoa for chil
dren and often into chocolate for
adults. Even at a high pr!''e, milk is
cheap for children. When using co
coa select a brand particularly adapt
ed for children's consumption and
digestion one containing twenty
per cent, butter fat is ideal—not too
lean and not too fat (meaning that
if it is too rich in butter fat it is
hard to digest). Do not give chil
dren tea or coffee. They are not con
sidered food and the child should
not form a taste for them.
Soy bean meal is excellent and
should be used frequently in that it
replaces meat and fat to a great ex
tent. When using no eggs in soy

SUGAR is a vital part of our daily food. Know
ing that thousands of women were putting up
sweet preserves last summer, Mrs. Knox felt that
if she could devise ways of using that "preserve"
sugar in connection with other foods, she would
be of service not only to the economical house
wife but to the nation as well.
The above suggestion is only one of the war-time recipes con
. tained in her new book, "Food Economy." There are 137 more.

Gelatine, a protein sparer, is not
only an important food in itself, but
particularly important now as a ve
hicle for using leftovers in small I
quantities. Used in conjunction with '
meat, poultry, vegetable stock or i
with vinegar or vegetable juices, we j
have aspics in which to mold vege- |
tables, fruits, fish, etc. Gelatine
should he clear, crisp and tender. I
The following is a dependable'
method:

cup fruit juice.
Three-fourths cup cold water, stir i
and allow to stand for ten minutes.
Bring sugar and water to boiling
point. All gelatine softened In cold i
water and stir until dissolved. Add
fruit' juices and steam througr*
cheesecloth into molds rinsed In coU
water. If it is desirable that gela
tine should be very clear, an empty j
eggshell may be placed in gelatine
for a few seconds before straining.
When fruits or nuts are molded into j
this, pour into mold, first gelatine j
in small quantities, and allow to con
geal. then solid particles like fruit j
and on top of same small amount of i
gelatine, which when congealed will i
hold same in place. Continue until
mold is filled.
3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons i
cocoa, pinch of salt, 2 cups boiling
water, 2 cups scalded milk.
Mix cocoa, sugar and salt. Add |

minutes. Add milk (scalded in dou- '
ble boiler). . Beat well with egg
beater before serving.

"Outwitting
By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien
(Copyright, 1918, by Pat Alva O'Brien.)
i 1 " ut to re,urn to |
| ij up I returned to the
. #?':.J consulate and ar
if
1 R v 1 made for my trans-;
fe portation to Kng- \
land at once. Kor-1
tunately there was a ;
very night and I was
allowed to take pas
i sage on it.
Just as we were leaving Rotter
i dam, the boat I was on rammed our
j own convoy, one of the destroyers,
j.aijd injured it so badly that it had to
put back to port. It would have been
i a strange climax to my adventure if
| the disaster had resulted in the sink
j ing of my boat and I had lost my life
[while on my way to England after
' naving successfully outwitting the
I Huns. *
But my luck was with me to the
| last, and while the accident resulted
i in some delay our boat was not se
riously damaged and made the trip
over in schedule time and without
further incident, another destroyer
I having been assigned to escort us
through the danger zone in place of
the one which we had put out of
commission. i
When I arrived in London the re
action from the strain I had been un
der for nearly three months imme
diately became apparent. My nerves
were in such a state that it was ab
solutely impossible for me to cross
the street without being in deadly
fear of being run over or trampled
on.
I stood at the curb, like an old
woman from the country on her first
visit to the city and I would not ven
ture across until some knowing po
liceman, recognizing my condition,
came to my assistance and convoyed
me across. .
Indeed, there is a great number of
English officers at home at all times
"getting back their nerves" after a
long spell of active service at the
front, so that my condition was any
thing but novel to the London bob
bies.
It was not many days, however,
before I regained control of myself
and felt in first-class shape.
Sends a Cable th Mother ,
Although the British* authorities in
Holland had wired my mother from
Holland that I was safe and on my
way to England, the first thing I did
when we landed was to send her a
cable myself.
The cable read as follows;
"Mrs. M. J. O'Brien, Momence, 111.,
U. S. A.:
"Just escaped from Germany. Let
ter follows."
As I delivered it to the cable dis
patcher I could just imagine the ex
ultation with which my mother
would receive it and the pride she
would feel as she exhibited it among
her neighbors and friends.
I could hear the volley of "I told
you so's" that greeted her good tid
ings.
"It would take more than the
Kaiser to kep Pat in Germany," I
could hear one of them saying.
"Knew he'd be back for Christmas
anyway," I could hear another re
mark.
"I had an Idea that Pat and his
comrades might spend Christmas in
Berlin," I could hear another admit
ting, "but I didn't think any other
part of Germany would appeal to
him very much."
"Mrs. O'Brien, did Pat write you
how many German prisoners he
brought back with him?" I could
hear still another credulous friend
inquiring.
It was all very amusing and grati
fying to me and I must confess I felt
quite cocky as I walked into the
War Department to report.
For the next five days I was kept
very busy answering questions put
to me by the military authorities
regarding what I had observed as to
conditions in Germany and behind
the lines.
What I reported was taken down
by a stenographer and made part of
the official records, but I didn't
give them my story in narrative
form. The information I was able to
give was naturally of interest to var
ious branches of the service, and
experts in every line of government
work took it in turns to question me.
One morning would be devoted, for
instance, to answering questions of

behind the front line trenches, tac
tics, morale of troops and similar
matters. Then the aviation experts
would take a whack at me and dis
cuss with me all 1 had observed of
German flying corps methods and
j equipment.
I Then, again, the food experts
I would interrogate me as to what 1
I had learned of food conditions in
I Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium,
jond as I had lived pretty close to
I the ground for the best part of sev
enty-two days 1 was able to give
them some fairly accurate reports
. as to actual agricultural conditions,
| many of the things I told them prob
ably having more significance •to
II them than they had to me.
\ * There wer many things I had ob
served which I have not referred to
in these pages because their value
! to us might be diminished if the
Germans knew we were aware of
1 them, but they were all reported to
the authorities, and it was very
| gratifying to me to hear that the
experts considered some of them of
the greatest value.
One of the most amusing incidents
; of my return occurred when I called
, at my bankers in to get my
> personal effects.
The practice in the Royal Flying
Corps when a pilot is reported miss
ing is to have two of . his comrades
assigned to go through his belong
ings, check them over, destroy any
i thing that it might not be to his in
terest to preserve and send the
i whole business to his banker or his
! home, as the case may be.
Every letter is read through, but
their contents is never afterward
discussed or revealed in any way.
If the pilot is finally reported dead
his effects are forwarded to his next
of kin, but while he is officially only
, "missing" or is known to be a pris
oner of war they are kept either at
the squadron headquarters or sent
' to his bankers.
i In my case, as soon as it was
learned that I had fallen from the
sky, it was assumed that I had been i
killed, and my chum, Paul Raney,
and another officer were detailed to
check over my effects. The list they
made and to which they affixed
their signatures, as I have previous
ly mentioned, is now in my posses-

rather sharply.

He was very positive about It
