I There is a need of deciding what are essentials and what are less or nonessentials in foodstuffs during the war. It is the work of the Unit ed States Food Administration to !ay before the public a safe and sane food program. The very thing that may be nonessential for us, if we could but be convinced of it, may be for the timt being essential for the Allies and our soldiers abroad. Now habit and tradition have long since fixed wheat, and especially wheat in the form of bread, as an es sential in the world's diet. We have been taught to pray for our daily tread. We have learned from the cradle up that bread is the staff of life. Not only the loaf, but the actual wheat in the loaf, has become a symbol of bodily sustenance. But wheat is not indispensable to the human diet. It is an acquired luxury. Its use is solely a matter of taste, of comfort" and convenience. Until the latter part, of the seven teenth century barley was in great est use and it was a half century more before even fifty per cent of wheat flour was used. There is no denying the fact that bread made from all wheat is finer and softer and perhaps more palat able. But the fact also remains that it possesses no nutritional quality not contained in the substitute cereals such as oats, corn and rice contains neither more nor better protein, fat or mineral salts. Although it is more difficult to give up luxuries than to acquire the taste for them, the American people are gradually cutting off luxuries, or nonessentials, whether they be food or something else so that the win ning of this war may not be un necessarily delayed. That is the one question we should ask ourselves before our every act: Will it help or hinder the winning of the war? I'pon the answer shall depend whether a certain commodity be manufactured or not; whether a cer tain food shall be eaten or its con sumption curtailed or cut off en tirely. The American people are now fac ing the wheat question. It is essen tial to us? Is it nonessential to us and essential to the Allies? We have already shown that from a nutriUonal standpoint it is not vital to the diet. Let us now consider in what measure it is essential to those to whom we are asked to send it. "They are only people, like our selves." you say, "and if we can ex ist without it; so can they." This would be true if they had an equal chance at the wheat substitutes. But there is the rub. In the first place, they use infinitely more bread in their diet than we do. and they haven't the facilities for home bak ing that we have. Wheat is the most convenient grain for us to ship and for them to handle. Thev are too exhausted and spent with four years of war to make radical changu in their food habits and methods < f preparing food, and we should not ask them to. Americans have scarcely begun i their sacrifices. They still have I plenty of time and strength to re-! adjust their food habits, let them, then, be proud and happy to class! wheat as nonessential for themselves I and gladly empty their national I bins for those to whom wheat is s;till an essential for military strength and civilian morale.

' Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE: FAIRFAX A BIT FORWARD DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 19 and a man about six years my senior and myself have been very good friends for the past three years. On several occasions I have invited this young nun to call. This has caused a great deal of discussion. He maintains it is not proper for a girl to ask young men to come to see her, claiming that if a man feels inclined, he will take the initiative and ask to come. I can see no reason why it is not perfectly all right for a girl to invite a young man, especially one whom she has known for so long, to spend the evening with her in her own home. At one time, not intending to be bold or forward, I merely suggested that we go to a theater, as he never made a suggestion of that sort and felt as we were friends he would not mind, but he was very angry about it for a long time. ADEL.E. After you had once offered this young man the hospitality of your home it would have been in better taste and more conventional for you to let him ask to call. As for your suggesting that he take you to the theater, don't you see, my dear, that you were asking him to spend money on you and that he may not have had it to spare or may not have been in clined to show you any attention. Don't feel badly about what you have done because 1 am sure that you acted with simple good will and did not mean to be forward. But no woman wants to put herself in the position of forcing herself on a man, and this one has shown you plainly that he feels you ought to let all social sug gestions come from him.

ELECTRICITY I.N DI CING RAIN In Australia experiments are being carried out 'down under" with an electrical plant to make rain. Accord ing to a Sydney newspaper, careful research showed the inventor. Mr. Baleillie, that In tine weather there was a charge of positive electricity in the higher regions of. the air, and that when it rained negative electricity predominated. He was studying the effects of mountains on rainfall, and came to the conclusion that hills act ed as conductors of the negative elec trical energy with which the earth's surface is charged. He argued that all that Was necessary, therefore, to give Hat plains the same advantages as re: gards rainfall as hilly country was the free passage of the negative elec tricity to the higher regions of the a / r ; j s rainmaking plant now con u^ 8 ,. a set of two or three kites, which are let up on galvanized flexible ? t( L? n altlt "de ,of 4.000 and 6.000 feet. The negative current is taken from the earth by means of a termi nal, whih is well grounded. Of course, the first essential in the business is wind. In his tests at Bookaloo and elsewhere Mr. Balslllie has found that rain invariably falls after the kites have been in the air for from six to ten hours. RIGHT—ANID WRONG DEAIt MISS FAIRFAX: I am 18, and have been going about for the past year and a half with a man of 20. \V e were about to be engaged when the question came up of a marriage y> a yeal \ 3 I an > too young to get married, and then again I have a brother in the service "over h?s'retur'n would lik e to wait for Fal J fx - J have told him this, and he said he doesn't sec whv iny brother bejng in the Army should >top our wedding, so we have broken Of course.

He may be in France for many years —stationed there for dutv after the war Is over. It is humanly possible that he will fall in love and marry some girl "over there." For you to postpone your wedding until his re turn is a romantic idea that does credit to your sisterly affection. But it isn't practical, and I am sure your brother would not feel that you owed him this.

There are no harder working men in the world than soldiers and sail ors. There Is no more strenuous life than theirs. No others know their long hours in cold and in heat, in rain and in wind, in mud and in snow. No others know the physical tension under which they work. If we want the sturdy, sun-brown ed lads we are sending away to lead j this strenuous life in France to re-1 turn to us still strong and clean lim bed, we must see to it that they have' the best of food in the world. Were It possible for them to come l-ack to their own homes three times a day for their* meals how gladly | would every mother and sister and j wife scrimp and save, if necessary, to give them the very best food ob-1 tainable. But this is impossible. Over 3,- 000 miles separate these boys in Europe from their home tables. They must eat at the table Unele< Sam spreads for them in Europe. And our job, since we cannot keep food for them In our own pantry, is to save food for them in Uncle Sam's pantry. The foods soldiers and sailors most need in abundance are wheat, meat, fats and sugar. Uncle Sam has not enough of these foods in his pantry for both his fighters and us. Unless we at home give up our use of wheat, meat, fats and sugar to a great-ex tent, the American fighters will be poorly fed. Are you willing that this should be true of the boy YOU have sent "over there?" Many Attend Biennial Conference of the C. E.
