In the annual controversy between the adventes of tomottoes and tomay toes, it is wise to take no part. So far. Investigations of why prices go up have served only to disclose the fact that they are still doing so. The old grads wonder what the colleges are coming to when even a freshman can play on the varsity. Admitting that, as an eastern clergy. man says. kissing is a relic of the dark ages. we submit that eating is also. That half pound of food each of us saves a meek will 1hlp feed our allies and also will pay for a thrift stamp. 4 Remember the Belgians have other t things to worry about and will not I mind if that suit is last year's style. One almost fears now that the war will end before economy becomes se curely re-established among the vir tues. To do unto others as you would be done by may sound a good motto-but, how if you feel you ought to be kicked? Romance so takes possession of the soldier's soul that when he ceases to live it he takes his pen in hand and writes it. One of the worst slackers is the man who sits down and criticizes his wife for the way she looks in farmer. t ette togs. Candy may be taboo, but the young man who goes a-wooing can carry a turnip in one pocket and an onion In the other. Although there's an acute shortage of white paper, books that nobody will ever read continue to make their ap pearance. So many things are happening along the front that apparently the German ' press haIs given up trying to tell about hi any of thetm. Do not permit to hang Idly in the a closets any slacker old clothes that should do duty this winter in northerv " France and Belgium. o1 Stefansson has discovered an are m tic Island as big as Ireland. But are there materials on this island for mak. Ing an Irish stew? That's an impor tent question.

'ol A FEW ROYAL CHRISTMAS PRES ENTS. tr The Christmas spirit tiny Ist be ble expressed to our friends Iby a gift ap ng propriate andl not too is exacting upon onelt's re Id- sources. W\e are so apt of to think that things coat SmInn tnnus will he un allppretiated b y ou r l. friends. This is often tile reason we have gifts Sto clharacterless that in are unttenjoye.id atlnd we art J burden our friends with gifts that are not desired. When one Is fortunate entough to II live on a fraint the gifts to town fritnds it aly r'lpresent the %ihoile family. The he father :andl boys Inay Iut it fow\\l or a- a bra.' f \\ild gallle, fruit and a few Ite vegetabls in the .'ristlttmas basket \s "hile nlothlor and the girls will add a K. hoir of cookles. a glass or two of jelly, a plant, or a bit of needlework. The present comling fronl the farm is not to be despised. A tiny Christ edl nll tree taken from the wtoods and potted will bie a nmost \welcoitme gift to tllhose who live away from growing things. A walk In the woods will dils tl. close T'lany a bit of green or color to n. decorate the gift basket. A tiny glass of jelly in ia small basket to fit it, tied with a sprig of partridge berry or n wintergrteen, is such a welcomle gift to the invalid. A quaint little jar filled with Jam, tied up with a festive bow, s1 another. s A fern dish with a violet plant, he he patica and a little fern, will be a joy to a slttu,-n, especially if she has been a country girl. We Wild crabapple jelly is such a de a licious one for the Christmas table, and may be made in quantities where the wd crab is plentiful. *- A small jar of real farm butter or a k box of hickory nut meats, a card or two of honey and a jar of mincemeat, are all suggestive gifts. A nice fat Is mince pie tied up in tissue with a '9 spray of Christmas greens will be an other most happy gift. If one has an herb bed, a package of 'r assorted herbs will find a warm place tt In the affections of tha town house keeper. KITCIHEN LICABINET e A man's fortunes are the fruit of his character. A man's friends are his magnetisms. THE BREAKFAST CEREAL a In most homes, especially where c t there are children, the first meal of E the day is begun C with a dish of ce- . real, usually fol- F lowing a bit of F Itrait. Baked ap- t ple, or any fruit is a safe one to pre acede the children's r I cereal. Acid fruits, r Slike grapefruit or oranges, if all sour, b will cause digestive trouble if followed C by a cereal with cream. Very often we have such a variety of cereals on the Smarket these days that we need never - i have the same one too often. The aver- i" age child or grown-up will eat well- c; cooked oatmeal oftener with enjoy- d Sment than any other breakfast food. sa Many of the cereals will be eaten with relish if served with fruit which would otherwise be refused. The daintiness of serving bears no small part In the manner of its reception. SWhen serving cream of wheat or any cooked cereal which molds well, pour S inate a hollow naold and serve filled a with fruit of the season. Serve it he at the table so that the eye may be ;l charmed with its appearance. Such in a dish, when served with cream and 1 sugar, will be happily and quiekly eaten. For the early winter days, cornmeal mush, hominy and graham mush may be served, using any leftover for fry. 8 ing. If possible, have the corn fresh lit ly ground, using the whole kernel; It bh is so much more appetising. Such In cornmeal does not keep wdl, but if obtained fresh Is far superior to the kiln-dried corn. Whole wheat fresh from the field or granary makes most wholesome and nutritive breakfast food. It must be a soaked over night and cooked for half cl a day to soften the grain. A fireless t cooker or double boiler makes the best a cooking utensil, as It needs slow cook ing at a low temperature. Sliced fried apples with oatmeal is a good combina- 0 tion. A spoonful of sliced peaches or of one of fresh berries with any cereal ri served at the side of the dish, is an- tb other. The leftover breakfast food need not be wasted, as It Improves almost a any muffin, gem or popover when add- a ed to the mixture before baking. -- ---------- stMi af The Difference of One Letter.

DIES IN FRANCE. Mrs. Jules Magnon of N. Derbigny St., received a telegram Tuesday night informing her of the death of her son, Private Gustave August Magnon. He was severely wounded in the battle of Soissons on Jhly 21., 1818. He enlisted July 11, 1917, and was soon promoted to the rank of sergeant of 3rd Co., 26 Inf. Tr. Bat. Desiring to get to the firing line, he resigned his commission and became a private in Co., 13, 28th Inf., arriving in France, January, 1918.

It The j Red Cross Man By ROY PERRING. "Ten:| ! S''lute! M1al·ke her Snallppy- 'Thft-a-boy !" "Who wuz thi bird, lIal? Looked like a six-cylinder oflicer, but they don't ride in no, livver." "'lou are guessin' clioe. Trl'innd. Didn't you sete the Red Cross oin his jitney? That's the Red ('ross an. lie1's got a real han:dle but few know what it's like. Evewry Jack from the C. 4). to the ducks in the guarlhouse call him the lced Cross M:n. Got 'em In all the canmp." "I didn't sve none, at Wheeler's ii.ld. Is he what you call-not a preacher but I--" t "No, Mike, lie ain't no chapl:lain, i that's the handle you %uz huntin' for. t The cross is a big red one, an' the A. R. C. on his jacket don't st;and for aero reserte corps, but the American 7Red Cross. I heard hitlilthe other mrorning wh ii hbe tried to start his flivver after the rain. Captal,:in \telsch said his htnnuage was Biblieal, but it wuznll't orthode, whatever that lllleans. It sounded like good old United St:ates to me. No, he ain't no prachelr, but I reckon he knows how to talk turkety to the boys all right. Corporal Murlphy hadn't been giving his folks a sqluare deal; never sent any Imonellty holle, a-soakln' his pay shootin' crl'ps two hours after gettin' it. The corp. tole me the Red Cross Maln talked to 'it like a Dutch uncle, an' when he got through, the corp. had signed a paper tellin' Uncle Sam to take a straugle hold on half his pay, an' slip it to his mother. Take it from me, Uncle Salm mie likes to hear them sort of orders, an' to show how happy he wuz to get the corp's message, he chucked In twenty more plunkers to the corp's fif teen an' the mother's gettin' thirty-tive per. Sure she ain't happy less she's wraslin' with a washboard every day, but the corp. tole me she wuz only R-takin' in five family washes now, an' the kids wuz goin' to school again. When the Red Cross Man had a toe hold on the corp., he persuaded him to take out insurance, same as the rest of us boys, an' then he tole him he could gamble his bloomin' block off with the rest of his pay. The corp. gets a good night's sleep now on pay day, cause what's left of his pay only lasts till about ten thirty." "Is this here Red Cross Man a real for-sure officer, Hal?" Rank of Officer. "Well, I d'no. He ought to be. We call him captain, or lieuterant, and say 'sir' to 'ira. He.says he's an ofi cer without rank. Says the leather putts and green pants show that he's part officer and the rest's Irish. The I new fellers don't - know whether to s'lute or not. He says we can s'lute the cross if we feel like it, but he don't care a tinker's hammer whether we s'lute him or not. We old vets know 'im an' s'lute the cross an' the man that's behin' it. But officers and pri vates are all the same to him. I seen e 'im talkin' to the C. O. the other day, n an' he wuzn't actin' as though he was is any scared of him. They seemed to º- be real friendly-like. But he don't 't seem to care whether he's talkin' to e the C. O. or a N. C. They all look n alike to him. He takes chow at our d mess sometimes, an' tin dishes don't upset his stumik any. The boys like r, to have him, cause he joshes 'em along' e and they forget they'r still in the e States 'stead in France where they all want to be. He can dellvet the mer y chandise too. Last winter when Tom Mason's wife and four kids come down here from Detroit an' got sick, the Red Cross Man got Tom a .leave an' took 'lm to the burg in his flivver. Then he sent Tom's wife a doc, an' some coal, S an' soloe eats. Reckon he must a' I helped Tom get a discharge so he could support his family, though no- 1 body knows nothln' for sure. Slim Dawson thought he did, though, an' - asked the Red Gross Man to help him get off Uncle Sam's pay rolL 't'he Red Croe Man wrote some lettert Up · to Sim's home town, an' when they ' come ba, he tole Slim his wife and r kids was a-drawin' forty-seven Atty t per and they wua better off with him workln' for Uncle Sam, an' he'd better stick aroun' and help make Germany safe for democracy." "Must have the spondulix an' some pull, if he's so free with the cash san knows so many people everywhere," He Ain't No "Plut. "No, he ain't no 'plnt.' They say he don't draw no pay, an' he polishes his own shoes, an' In a pinch washes hle own shirt. But you see, Mike, this Red Cross Man business is all over the States. When a soldier fron Millers. ville gets word his folks is in bed, he goes mopln' aroun' like a dos wa's met up with a skunk. He's soured on the whole show, an' all the sugar this man Hoover's saved couldn't sweeten him up none. His off' see he's punk an' they try to work it outer lhim, but it only makes 'im punker. They look for him to go over the hill next. Then the Red Cross Man hears about it. He gets him in his ofbee, or in his Jitney, an', believe me, he knows how to ind out what's wrong. Then he writes up to Millersvllle, where they got the Red Cross too, an' they go see what's askew with the doughboy's folks an' they pull the fly out the lemo and write back that all's hunkadora an' that sick bird Just goes to eatln' ap the work again.
