"A long step toward maklnc the Jap

matter of food has teen taken by A
H. Case, the food commission apenl
'on Kauai, who is making a rather ex
tensive rlantJng of Japanese red, r
Azukl bean. These are a food n
which the Japanese are very fond ami
which would form a large part .
their subsistence if they could obtain
It cheap enough.
Large quantities of the beans arc

whfeli they pay " to 6 cents a pou:i!

about 400 pounds for sale. They had
grown a crop of about 2000 pounds
per acre. 1 went to some of the stores
snd found that the beans are selling

Z :!The Kauai-grown product were lar
Rer, redder and a tetter looking

Mme. Von Balzer, native of Paris and a famous dressmaker and de
signer, has been secured by the College of Hawaii to develop its dress
making department
Up to this time the department has been run in conjunction with the
cooking school, but hereafter will be under Miss Minnie Chipman in the do
mestic crt department.
Mme. Von Balzer, who is recommended highly by the University of
California and other institutions, founded the Vienna School of Dressmak
ing. Designing and Millinery. She established her first school in New York
and' felnce has founded similar courses in several other states. The Vienna
school which she established in California met large success.
She will arrive in Honolulu in time for the opening of the college next
fall.

ly set forth, Mr. Coviiie says :
One does not question that the Am

the widespread movement for city
gardening will contribute somewhat
to the extension of our food surplus,
but there is also a large class of our
population favorably situated for lood
production and well able to take, part
la it, whose contribution is only a small
fraction of what it might be' made. I
refer to the man whose business or
dinarily is in town,, but whoso resi
dence In the country gives him access
to an area of gr-.und varying in sfze
from a small garden to an amplo farm,

not at all tor gardening or farming
purposes.

Usually such country dwellers have

farming, but make such limited use
of it aa suits ther cotivrcience for
recreation.
The time is now at hand wha every
non-farmer who has unemployed farm
ing or gardening land, and every
summer resident In the country can
contribute, patriotically to the welfare
of his country and the progress of
liberty by producing all the fr.ilts and
all the vegetables he consumed, and
in some cases also the eggs and poul
try that he needs. And I mean not
merely the fruits and ve?et.tbl3 that
he uses in summer, but those, he will
require in the following v Inter.
Our grandmothers knet how to pre
serve fruit for winter trie by diyln?

know how to can vegetables. Modern
science has found, out how to do this,
and now the girls in the department

Every pound of food grown and used

BEAUTY CHATS
By EDNA KENT FORBES
A Yorxo specialist once told me
that half the. cases of swollen feet
came from rheumatism In men; and
badly shaped shoes in women. Thj)
other 50 per cent of foot troubles
were the result of several dozen
causes, all harder to treat than the
two mentioned.
These two would be easy to treat
if the patients" who came to him tor
help were willing to take his very
simple advice. For men, it was aim
ply to cut out the meats fowl end
game being excepteddrink more
water and get into the open air
more.- For the women, it was to
wear heels an inch lower and toes
rounded instead of pointed.
So much for cases where swelling
Is continuous. For the temporary
swelling that comes from standing
or following the fatigue of a long
walk, the treatment is simple and:
easy. First soak the feet in hot
water, preferably salt water. Or, if
they are badly swollen, water to
which a eertain amount of Epsom
salts have been added. This simple
laxative salt is also' a wonderful
cure for rheumatism, and is said to
relieve gout as wall. ' It opens the
pores, drawing out all the poisons
that double up the muscles, clearing
the whole body.
After the soak, which may last as
long as the water stays comfortably
hot, wash the feet in cool water, and
wear low, heel ess sandals for a time.
If the sandals are bound about the
ankles with broad ribbons, it will re
lieve the feet sooner. Then, dust
the feet over with powder, put on
different shoes and stockings from
those worn during the day.
An excellent way to avoid swol
len feet, or feet with a distinct odor
of perspiration. Is to rinse the stock
. ings in water containing a generous
sprinkling of this same boric or
boracic acid powder.

WASHINGTON. D. C Mrs. Wood

National League of American Women
for food conservation during the war,
In heavy black pen strokes she
signed "Edith Boiling Wilson, the
White House," to the following pledge:
I am glad to join you in the service
of food conservation for our nation,
and I hereby actept membershin' in
the United States Food administra
tion, pledging myself to carry out the
direction and advice of the food ad
ministrator iir the conduct of my

The pledge of the President's wife,
was sent to Herbert Hoover and Is
one of the first of the 20,000.000 by
housewiTes of the United States that
the food administration hopes to ob

Mrs. Bertha Evelyn Tait, business
manager of the Portland. Ore., Sym
phony Orchestra, is a visitor in Hono
lulu. Mrs. Tait is known throughout
the Northwest as one of the leading
musical figures in that section. She
is spending the summer with her
son, Claire Tait, who is w-ell known
in Honolulu.
"Honolulu has wonderful opportu
nities for music," said Mrs. Tait to
day. "A city is often judged by the
quality of its music and it is a fact
that music attracts the best class of
citi2ens.
"To make a really musical com
munity, you must first begin with the
children. People who love music and
know its value for culture also know
that education without music is im
possible. The Portland Symphony Orches
tra, made up of 60 public spirited mus
icians, gives its dress rehearsals free
to school children, entertaining 2000
each, month.
"Good music should be encouraged
in Honolulu. Nowhere in the world
could harmony of sound find such a
6uperb setting. Music should form a
part of the civic endeavors of this
community. vVhen words are not
subtle enough to express all that we
mean, we have the universal language
of music, which is always an inspira
tion to higher ideals, and better citi
zenship. "Hundreds of cities throughout the
country take a pride in their music,
and Honolulu has a wonderful oppor
tunity to do so. An artist like Maude
Powell should draw packed bouses in
your city," she concluded.
Mrs. Tait is here on a vacation, but
her interest in music may cause her
to arrange a program for Honolulu
should she decide to remain longer Tn

FOOD-SAVING CAMPAIGN
you take part in the authorized neigh

vation?" Mrs. Wilson wrote" 'Tes."
The food conservation program td
be placed before American house
wires who register in Mr. Hoover's
league, follows:
Save the wheat. This Is to T5e done
by encouraging one wheatless meal a
day and the use of cornbread, oat
meal bread, rye bread, barley and
non-wheat breakfast foods.
Save meat To do this eat meat
but once a day. Is the food conserva
tor's recommendation. Instead, wo
men will be urged to use more fresh
and salt fish, milk and cheese. .
Save fats. By way of doing this
families are not asked to abstain from
having. butter on the table, but they
are advised not to use it in cooking.
They also are requested to refrain
from frying foods as much as possible.
