This remarkable article about potatoes, what they contain nourishment and how to use them, was contributed by Miriam Mosee, one of the foremost students of food value In the United States. Howard Heinz, Chairman of the Food Supply .Department of the 8tate Committee of Public 8afety, Indorses ths opinion of Miss Moses and recommends her recipes to the housewives of the State. WILL YOU JOIN THE FOOD ARMY AND SAVE YOUR BIT? By Miriam Moses. What can the people of this country do to utilize potatoes and In so doing cormerve foods which are vitally need, ed by our government for our armies and our var associates? A state Ment of the many millions of niiflhela of potatoes whlrh w have on hand ready for use, would not In tereiit many, and certainly would not rouso them to action, for men and women alike, shun statistics as they would a plague. How then are we to make an appeal that will reach the people and etuso aueh concentrated action that It will be materially felt In' this matter of the conservation of food? The first atttck should be made, having as Its objective, the saving of wheat. This might be done by making a practice of not serving bread or at any rate, bread containing wheat flour at the1 same meal at which potatoes are serv ed. Since serving potatoes at dinner Is a custom practiced In virtually every home In the United States, one enn readily see how mnny hundreds of pounds of flour could be ssv.'d dally. Will you Join the Pood Army and save your bit of wheat? A further utilization of potatoes will also help In the conservation of meat. One clever mothod Is to pre pare the potatoes In Buch a manner that they become a substitute for meat. Combined with cheese, and dishes to complete a balanced diet, such a meal will prove not only at tractive and appetlzlnR, but nourish ing as well. Contrary to popular belief, confer- vntlon of mefilB can he rwwle even more appetizing and attrnctlvo than the menls whose mentis lack individu ality, which makes them most unin teresting. A few recipes nre given here to fur ther the use of potatoes. Any recipe calling for white flour ran still be used, substltutlne one-fou-th to one hnlf potato flour for the wheat, flour. Try this suggestion with your favorite enke recipe, and be surprised and pleased at the splendid results. Potato Bread. 1 caps mashed potato. 1 teaspoons salt.

More or less than the amount of flour giv en miy be needed. Mashed sweet not ft to. cooked cereal. or squash may be- used Instead of white potato In the above recipe, m noinff nv substitute which has a marked flavor It Is better to try the bread first with less than tne amount; given for potato, and more llnu'd. noils made of squash are very good. Scalloped Potatoes With Cheese.

With patch pockets, all round belts, military straightness and rookie collars, there's many a soldier would strive to capture such models. But then there are others who percepti bly scorn all military advances. They seek the slim, slender sil houette from the tight narrow should er line, fitted waist and ripple peplum to yard or yard and a half width about the hem, and on the way down, there may be an overskirt, draped effect or tunic, but which does not inter fere with the straight line appearance.

So, all you have to do now is to go to any of our Departments, get beautiful new styles, and then Good bye to the old Winter ones we are so weary of Good bye to heavy somber old clothes and old thoughts of being "snowed in" and HURRAH for the new and the bright and delightful; you'll be all lovely again ! LEITER BROTHERS A Million losnred. At the close of Wednesday, February 13, over 1,000,000 sol diers and sailors and Army and Navy nurses had applied for Gov ernment insurance under the soldier and sailor insurance law. The amount of insurance ap plied for is more than $9,000, 000,000 The maximum permit ted to any person is $10 000, and the average applied for is $8,212. There are many applications mailed from distant points which have not yet reached the Treasury Department. The above figures are only of applications that have been actually received and grant ed. , Tlo amount of Government in suranca in force is more than three tiues as much as the total 1 ordinary life nsu ranee in force, with any life insurance Company in the world. The splendid result which gives to more than a million of the soldiers and sailors of our country the benefits of this in surance, which Secretary Mc Adoo h is justly described as the most just and humane provision ever made by any Government for its fighting men, is due to the quick apprecintion by the bene ficiaries of the value of the insur ance and the invaluable aid patriotically given to the War Risk Insurance Bureau of ' the Treasury by the press of the country, the officers of the Army and Navy, and many of tho indi vidual soldiers and sailors, to which must be added the earnest and efficient work of officers and - SUITS - WAISTS - 1 ; ir i: . :til!i' Slit' 4n.!:M;".j !!..f 111 mmm UfflHSIBijf Coviriykt Iff j Tkt Wntttlf IMitffHtri HAGERSTOWN.
