He seemed stunned for a moment and then said: 'Do you know it nearly gave me a fit to hear you speak English. I haven't heard a woman speak English in five months.' He said he had been walking about in the cold since four o'clock last night. He couldn't find a hotel or a bright light because, of course, everything is closed and darkened on account of the bombardments. . . . The Americans are very fond of ham sandwiches. They eat much more than the French soldiers, and when they first came in and ordered six eggs aplce it caused constation throughout the land. The funniest thing of all is to hear the Sammies最早 urging these wealthy English girls to 'keep the change—oh, keep the change!' . . . We start the day at five and work continuously until nine, when three fresh cantieries relieve us. At five we go on for the evening shift from five to eight, and it is the most exciting and exhausting of the shifta. There is a certain time when they come down on us like a flood, eight or ten deep around the counter and three or four hundred altogether in this little room, as eager and tired as schoolboys."

Bombardments Cannot Drive This Woman Back
She Thinks Coffee for Soldiers More Important Than Safety.
The following extracts are taken from a letter written by a Red Cross Canteen worker, Helen McElhone, an American woman and college graduate now located in a district almost constantly under bombardment:
"Foyer des Allies,
'Bar-le-Duc.
'Things look very black to me. I am discouraged at the big outlook of affairs and also at my small doings, but it may be the blackness that comes before dawn. Let us hope so. Our men certainly need help now as much as the pollus. I am beginning to see those who have been at the front. In fact, I am beginning to see some of the results of this life. They are sick and homesick, and worse things have happened to them. Several have said: 'All we ask is to get to the front and do what we have to do. Anything is better than this life. . . .' This morning we had more Americans than I have seen before at one time. One came up to me here as I was
HELP IN 50-50 WHEAT PROGRAM
HELP IN 50-50 WHEAT PROGRAM
Thousands of Retail Grocers Support Food Administration
SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.
New Wheat Saving Program Demanded — Allied Food Shortage Increases—America Must Feed Fighters.
Explaining the United States Food Administration's new 50-50 wheat regulations is a war time task the American grocer has gladly shouldered. Many stores are already displaying their Food Administration wheat saving pledge cards, that they have signed, agreeing to carry out the new wheat program.
Each flour customer is now required to buy one pound of cereal substitute for every pound of wheat flour. The substitute may be of one kind or assorted. This 50-50 sale is made by weight and not by value of the commodities. There is, of course, no regulation demanding the consumer to buy wheat flour at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour, edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean flour, Feteteria flour and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour constitute an exception to the national regulation. Either of these commodities may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour—that is, five pounds of graham or wheat flour counts the same as three pounds of the usual wheat flour.
Mixed flours form another exception. Where any flour contains 50 per cent, or less of wheat it may be sold without any substitutes. Where the flour is mixed at the rate of 60 per cent, wheat and 40 per cent, of other ingredients an additional 20 per cent of substitutes must be purchased by the consumer.
Where necessity is shown specially prepared infant's and invalid's food containing flour may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may be assorted is a fact many grocers and housewives overlooked for a time. For instance, if a customer wishes to buy a 24 pound sack of flour the necessary substitutes might be assorted as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn rits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 8 pounds.
None of the substitutes should be considered as a waste purchase. There are many household uses for each. The eight pounds of cornmeal can be made into cornbread, corn muffins or used in the baking of wheat bread.
Cornstarch is useful in making custard, thickening gravy or may be used in cake baking. Corn grits fried like mush forms a delicous dish, or it may be used in baking corn bread. Rolled oats are used largely as breakfast porridge or in oatmeal cookies or in making muffins.
Buckwheat flour may be used in bread making, forming an excellent substitute for one-quarter of the wheat flour, but is especially choice in the form of buckwheat cakes for breakfast.
With 11 wheatless meals needed each week in America to provide enough wheat for the allies, the Food Administration believes the substitutes will all be used to advantage.
USE LESS WHEAT.
The allied nations have made further increased demands on us for breadstuffs—demands that Americans are obligated to meet.
In the meantime America's meat supply has been greatly increased for some months to come by the unprecedented shipping to market of hogs that averaged 232 pounds each instead of 203 pounds—the normal.
The United States Food Administration, endeavoring to adjust the international food balance, promptly removed certain restrictions in this country on the use of meat and at the same time asked for a smaller consumption of breadstuff.
We are asked to observe only one meatless day each week—Tuesday. We will have larger meat stocks for awhile. But our bread ration must be held to a minimum.
In altering its food conservation program the Food Administration emphasizes that the food situation is of necessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at home and abroad and by the precarious transportation problem, both in overseas shipping and in America's overburdened transportation system.
The Food Administration will keep the American people fully and frankly advised of each change in the developing situation that they may know definitely the part their food sacrifices play in the world war.

Compare Your Baby's First Four Years With This
In 1913 little Marie was born in a village not far from Mezieres, in the Ardennes.
In 1914 Marie's father, called to the colors, fell at the Marne. And Marie and her mother stayed in the village, which was now in the Germans' hands.
In 1915 a poster was pasted up on the door of the village church, and that night Marie's mother vanished, along with a score or more of other women.
In 1916 Marie was still living in that village—existing through the charity of the few elderly folk the Germans permitted to stay.
In 1917 Marie, with all the children under fourteen years and all the old people left alive in the village, was bundled into a crowded car and shipped into Germany, round through Switzerland and thence into France, arriving at Evan. She was underfed, of course, emaculated, sickly, dirty, too lightly dressed for the time of year. And she came into Evan with not a relative, not a friend left in all France to take care of her.
Who took her? Your Red Cross!
Over there in Evan your Red Cross took charge of her, cared for her in the Red Cross Children's Hospital, clothed her, fed her, built up her strength, taught her to play—and then helped the French authorities find her a HOME.
Multiply Marie by 500 and you will have some idea of just one day's work your Red Cross does at Evan. It is only one of the Red Cross activities in France, to be sure—but for just that one alone can you help being proud of it? Can you help being glad you are a member of it, supporting its great work of humanity? Can you help wanting it to go on helping the Maries and the "grand-daddies" that come in at Evan?
THE TRAIN THAT SAVED A NATION
How the Red Cross Helped Roumania.
Have you heard of what happened in Roumania when that stricken nation stood in rags and starving before the shocked eyes of the world? We had thought ourselves grown used to tragedies until this greater horror struck a blow that 'roused still untouched sympathies.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and I, so terribly weak in our ability to offer aid. But were we? After all, were we not the very ones who carried new life and hope to the heart of Roumania? You shall be your own judge.
Fighting with the desperation of despair, the shattered Roumanian army still struggled to beat off the Kalser's bloody Huns, who were mercilessly trampling the life out of the little kingdom. And the Kalser smiled brutally as he saw his wolves at work and knew that from behind the lines, attacking the fighting men of Roumania from the rear, entering the homes where mothers clung to the frail, distorted forms of their bables—was starvation.
No country around Roumania could help her—and America was too far away. Thousands would die before supplies held in our own country could be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger and by the dripping sword of the Kulser was closing in. A brave little nation was being torn to pieces. Then came the miracle. One morning the streets of Jassy, the war capital of Roumania, swelled with sounds of rejoicing. A city where the day before there was heard nothing but the walls of the starving and the lamentations of those mourning their dead now was awakened by shouts of joy. You, my friend; you who have helped in the heroic work of the American Red Cross, had gone to the rescue of Roumania. A train of 31 big freight cars packed to their utmost capacity with food, clothing and medicine, tons upon tons of it, had arrived in Jassy after making a record breaking trip from the great store houses of the American Red Cross in Russia. Other trains followed it; thousands were fed and clothed and nursed back to health. For weeks and even to this day the brave people of Roumania are being cared for in countless numbers by our own Red Cross. So was Roumania helped, and when history records how this last fragment of a sturdy nation was kept out of the hands of the terrible Huns it will give the victory to your American Red Cross.

WOMEN ASK FOR RATIONING PLAN
WOMEN ASK FOR RATIONING PLAN
American Women Volunteer to Buy Fixed Amounts of Meat, Bread Flour, Sugar and Butter.
PLAN STARTED IN NEW YORK
Idea Supplements U. S. Food Administration's New Home Card Now in 10,000,000 Homes.
The women of America, who are anxious to do their great part in the winning of the war, are now, as a whole, familiar with the most important aspects of food conservation. The Home Card, both in its original form and in the revised edition for 1918, which provides for two wheatless days, one meatless day a week, in addition to a wheatless meal every day, has been placed by the Food Administration after a vigorous campaign in 10,000,000 American homes. An intelligent and conscientious observance of the Home Card's requirements is all the Food Administration asks of the housewives of the country.
The Food Administration has had a great many requests, however, particularly from the homes of the well-to-do, that it should issue a worked out plan for a voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration springs from two causes—first, because it is far simpler for the housewife to save food when she has a concrete working plan by which to proceed, and, second, because the loyal women of America desire, unselfishly, to put themselves on the same basis as the women of the Allied countries. The ration proposed by the Food Administration is almost the same as that adopted in England for voluntary observance. All over the United Kingdom, in hundreds of houses there hangs in the front window a card with the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATIONAL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RATIONS."
The ration recommended by the Food Administration, and adopted first in New York city, whence the idea has spread through the entire country, is the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person.
Meat—Beef (fresh, salted, tinned and hashed); mutton, lamb and veal (mutton by preference) ..... 2½ lbs.
Butter ..... ½ lb.
Cooking Fats (margarine, lard, lard substitutes, vegetable oils) ..... ¼ lb.
2½ lbs.
½ lb.
½ lb.
Wheat Flour (for use in cooking gravies, etc., where corn starch, cracker dust or bread crumbs cannot be substituted) ..... Victory Bread (containing at
1½ lb.
1¾ lbs.
Sugar (including all sugar in on the table and in cooking and all sweatmeats and candies, but not that used for canning and preserving)
The items listed above are the only ones which are definitely limited. In the case of milk and cream, as much may be used as necessary, and children, of course, must have their full allowance of whole milk. Fish and poultry, any cereal other than wheat, vegetables and fruits and cheese may be used as freely as is desired. The above ration is in no wise intended to supplant the Home Card, but rather to supplement it. It has been published with the idea that it will be a very real aid to the American woman in her splendid effort to carry out the great food conservation program.
USE MORE POTATOES.
ELP consume the 1917 record breaking potato crop. Government experts have esti-
H
mated that over 700,000 extra acres of potatoes were planted last year. The United States Food Administration is endeavoring to push the nation's big potato stocks into channels of trade and has placed potatoes on the list of substitutes that may be bought along with wheat flour.
Potato soup has become a war dish. Here is a recipe that has been tested by United States Food Administration experts. Ingredients needed are three potatoes, one quart of milk, two slices onion, three tablespoons butter substitute, two tablespoons flour, one and one-half tablespoons salt, one-quarter teaspoon celery salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, few grains cayenne and one teaspoon chopped parsley.
Cook potatoes in boiled salted water. When soft run through a strainer. Scald milk with onion, remove onion and add milk slowly to potatoes. Melt the fat, add dry ingredients, stir until well mixed, then stir into boiling soup. Cook one minute, strain and sprinkle with barley.

WAR STAMPS TO HAVE BIG DRIVE
June 6 Is Opening Day for Minnesota Pledge Week for Their Purchase.
"GOING OVER THE TOP"
Director Culver Confident That Loyalty of People Will Bring Oversubscription of State's Quota of $47,000,000.
Director D. S. Culver of the Minnesota War Savings Committee today set aside the week starting June 6th and ending on June 13th, as Minnesota pledge week for the purchase of war savings stamps. In making the announcement, he evinced confidence that the loyalty of people in this state will be manifested by pledging themselves to make purchases during the balance of this year which will result in oversubscribing the state's quota of $47,000,000.
All county chairmen are now preparing for the drive that will soon start. In messages sent from state headquarters in the Metropolitan bank building, Minneapolis, a few days ago, sub-chairmen were asked the probabilities of their respective counties "going over the top" in the coming drive. Practically all replied that they expected to exceed the amounts allotted to their counties.
"During Pledge week all citizens in Minnesota will be asked to pledge the purchase of War Savings Stamps during the balance of 1918 on a minimum basis of $20 per capita," said Mr. Culver today. "This does not mean that each is to be asked for cash subscriptions. Minnesota must raise her $47,000,000 quota during the year and the present amount, something less than $4,000,000, does not make a very good showing.
"So optimistic are reports coming in from the various county chairmen that it has convinced us a great majority of counties will not only secure pledges for their required quotas, but will quite likely exceed their allotments."
County chairmen are already adding to the personnel of their campaign committees with the expectation of making a hundred per cent showing during the big thrift stamp drive. Several recently have visited headquarters here in an effort to derive new ideas and straighten out minor details so the work during June will go along without a single blitch
Vice Director J. H. Meyering, heading the sales forces, said the purpose of the campaign is not solely to ask immediate cash purchases. On the contrary, he explained, the pledges to be made during the week from June 6 to 13, are for W. S. S. purchases throughout the year. These will probably be on a monthly basis to extend through the coming months in equal portions.
"The purpose of the government in inaugurating its War Savings Stamps sales is to encourage thrift." said Mr. Meyering. "That means that citizens can save from unnecessary expenditures enough money to buy their quota of savings stamps. If all do that the campaign in Minnesota will be a great success."

HINTS FOR W. S. S. CAMPAIGN
Worker Glives Suggestion to Make Pledge Week a Success.
Minnesota can exceed her quota of $47,000,000 in the War Stamp Pledge Week drive beginning Thursday, June 6 by observing the following hints, said a prominent worker:
Aiding the W. S. S. campaign is giving help to the Allied cause and to U. S. soldiers;
Buying stamps is nailing a plank in the nation's ultimate victory over the enemy;
Pledging purchases to be made throughout the year means support for those engaged in forever putting down a regime that glories in the murder of women, children and other civilians;
Creating interest on the part of others to buy W. S. S. is helping to build monuments for those heroes who have died and been wounded in fighting for YOUR protection;
He who does not pledge $20 as a minimum for each person dependent upon him is not helping America to make the world a safe place to live in;
You can lend a helping hand to those who are today fighting YOUR BATTLEEN in the front line of trenches by buying or pledging to buy your FULL, QUOTA OF WAR SAVING STAMPS. This applies to every man, woman and child in every township, village, and county in MINNESOTA.
HAVE FAMILY OF BABY BONDS
Childless Couple Pledge Themselves to Buy W. S. 8.
Until two weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. (deleted by censor) had been without children during their six years of married life. Now they have two infants born just a week apart—and it all came about in a unique way.
They had a wedding anniversary on April 28 to which their friends were invited. Before the guests arrived, however, the door bell rang and there, on the front porch when they answered the bell, they found a basket in which was wrapped a wee infant. How delighted they were.
Taking it into the house they removed the coverings and there, sure enough, was their much longed for baby. It was a Baby Bond. Soon the guests arrived and extended hearty congratulations, for the baby—the Baby Bond—was their gift to the happy couple.
Mr. and Mrs. (censored) have vowed they are going to have a large family of children for they have pledged themselves to purchase four War Savings Stamps (Baby Bonds) each month during the balance of this year. By so doing, they told their anniversary guests, they are realizing their wishes to raise a good sized family as well as to give Uncle Sam their support in his battle against autocracy.
BUY W. 8. 8.
War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds work well together.

DEMOCRATS BROUGHT THEM IN.
“This department is too patriotic
to use these pencils,” wrote Inspector
©. 0. Myers to W. D. Fulton, Ohio's
Secretary of State, on receiving a
consignment of pencils marked
“Made in Germany.” It was a fine
Joke on the Democratic officials of
‘Ohio, whose party stands for free
trade. They are “too patriotic” to
use pencils “Made in Germany,” but
in 1913 their party was so unpatri-
otic as to make a bid for German
competition in lead pencils, against
those "Made in America," by redue-
ing the tarift duty to a ridiculous
rate, thereby enabling Germany to
stock our market so full thet our im-
porters are carrying those stocks four
years later. Do you Democrats and
free traders now see the point? It
the war lasts long enough perhaps you
will learn something in regard. to
this matter. No amount of argu-
ment has ever been able to convince
you.

Pressure has been brought by “ne-

“negro” adviser appointed to tell the
Department of Labor what ought to
be done along “negro” labor lines. Sec-
retary Wilsou has announced that a
“negro” will not be selected as a
permanent representative but promi-
nent colored men will be consulted.
Secretary Wilson has the right idea.
No patriotic colored American wishes
a jimerow representative. It would be
all right to appoint a colored man as
an assistant’ secretary of labor but to
appoint a “negro” advisor and confine
him to jimerow duties would be segre-
gation in its worst form. *
“Negroes” who are asking for sogre-
gated places in the department of the

would accept such an appointment,
would necessarily be a jimerow man

opinion that this war will produce no

Mike these figures of Revolutionary
and Civil War days. This may mean
some loss to the picturesqueness with
which historians may write the record
of our war for the freedom of the

overbalanced by the gain to the na-

‘Crom. thas Giatkiie tes
A circular sent out to employers in
@ large city, calling attention to the
number and: quality of young colored
men trained in the schools of the city,
and asking co-operation and counsel
in making their services available,
brought one reply which though anony:
mous is significant of an opinion still
widely influential, “Kindly send them
to Africa, instead of, mixing them
with us."” As the expression of an in-
‘dividual desire these two points are of
course admissible, but as practicable
measures it is curious that any intelll-
gent person should seriously entertain
them. Does any one suppose that the
colored population of the United
States could be sent to Africa, or that
if they were sent they would go? So
long as they are here, and have al-
ready been mixing for more than a
century, and have the rights of citt
zenship, including the right to die with
white men for their country, is it any
Feckonable menace to respectability
and intrinsic leadership to open a few
more industrial doors to their proved
abilities and usefulness? While we
write, a moving-van is unloaded by

Why Did They Prefer “Colored?”
(From the New York News).
We trust that all of the advocates—
learned and otherwise, white and
black, North and South—of the use
of the word “Negro” as a race term
have caught the full meaning of its
use at Houston, Texas. At the re-
quest of-the Twenty-fourth Infantry
men themselves, the authorities de-
gided to refer to them henceforth as
“colored” soldiers. ‘They had been de-
rided and nagged and goaded by the
corrupted use of the word until for-
bearance ceased to be one of thelr
virtues. ‘They had become contemptu-
ously and constantly referred to. in
the daily press not as American sol-
Giers, or “Americans, nor as “Uncle
Sam's Boys” or in any other respectful
terms. ‘They had been designated and
debased in the public mind there—
these brave, manly defenders of the
American flag—as “Negroes.” Per-
ceiving this evil practice and influence
the while officers of the Twenty-fourth
appealed to the authorities to use the
word “colored” instead. With the
Word “colored,” troopers or soldiers
would have to be used. A kindlier
feeling between the soldiers and the
townspeople they were sure would in-
evitably result. They were profoundly
right, but they were too late, Had
the practice obtained prior to their
coming in Houston, a different state
of affairs might have ensued. We ask
all promiscuous, wilful and indifferent
Users of the word “Negro” to ponder
this situation slowly. ‘The request of
the troopers and their officers for the
change should be a striking example
to all Doubting Thomases as to just
how the practice works out today in
hard, everyday life. Whatever the ar-
gument about making it respectable in
the future, it decreases respect for the
race today. It does no good today.
It does much harm. What reason,
then, for its use? Are you willing to
be called a “Nigger?” Are you pleased
to have your wife or mother called
a “Negress?” Then discontinue using
“Negro.” It you think it worth while
for you to be referred to as a man and
your folk as people, insist on the use
of the word “colored,” |
— wege *% Group by Ite Best.
(Prom the Christian Register, Boston,
Mass.)
No one can be sald to know any
class of people who has not been in
{ntimate and sympathetle relation with
the best as well as the worst of the
class. We compare many persons
who live in the South, and think they
know the colored race, with others
who have had no euch contact, but
‘who have come into intimate and sym-
Dathetie relations with large numbers
of that race whom thelr Southern
friends have never known; and of the
two sets of people we should say that
the second knew the colored people
better than the frst. ‘They know asp!
rations among them that the others
do not know, or, knowing, do not
enter into and appreciate; they know
eapabilities by direct contact with the
best of the race which others are obli
vious of; they know qualities which
only respect and sympathy can bring
out; they know possibilities to which
others by their very acquaintance are
blinded. If those who know the col
red race through the mass and by
observation merely could know what
individual possibilities are demon-
atrated in growing numbers of the
lect, and would be courageously can-
did with themselves, they would te-
‘vise thelr judgments and posstbly sot:
ten thelr prejudices. At any rate,
they ought to credit to those on whom
they charge ignorance of the colored
race the values that come from know.

The Voter fine in the Catholic Church.
(Brom the Southwestern Christian Ad-
voeate, New Orleans, La.)
‘There are two hundred thousand
colored Catholics in the United States
according to Walter F. McEntire, a
prominent Catholic, who in telling’ of
the orders and societies of men and
women working among color people in
the United States, among other things
says in the Tidings, of Los Angeles:
“The Church knows no colorline in
the House of God, and any man who
tries to lay one down is not a true
Catholic.”
‘This is good reading but ft {e not
true to fact. There are only two col-
ored priests in the entire Catholic
colored constituency of America, and
the Catholfe Chureh is the only’ rell-
gious body in America that forces on
fis constituency a white ministry.
Moreover, the color issue ig drawn a8
completely in the Cathollc Church as
elsewhere, There was a time when
the Catholic churches welcomed. col-
ored people to the altars but not now.
In St. Josepn Church, New Orleans,
few seats in the rear_are marked re-
served for colored.

A THREE CORNERED CONTEST.
For the Nomination for Senator in the 38th Senatorial District.
The prospects for something of a lively contest for the nomination of a State Senator for the 38th Senatorial district seems to be a foregone conclusion and it doubtless will arouse considerable interest among the voters.
The candidates are: James Handlan, the present Senator of the District; B. G. Novak, a member of the House of Representatives, who desires to take part in the Legislature; and Henry J. Creepen, manager of the Meier Typesetting Co. The candidates are all "fine fellows" and the voters must exercise their best judgment in making their selection. They have until June 17th, the date of the primaries to think the matter over.

WHAT BETTER THING CAN ONE DO THAN TO REMEMBER ONE'S FRIENDS? THE TRADES PEOPLE WHO ADVERTISE IN THE APPEAL, THUS SHOW THEY ARE FRIENDS AND WANT YOUR TRADE. THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR PAPER AND INVITE YOU THROUGH IT TO TRADE WITH THEM. ACCEPT THEIR INVITATIONS AND SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION. THERE ARE NO BETTER PEOPLE TO TRADE WITH THAN OUR ADVERTISERS; SHOP IN OUR COLUMNS BEFORE YOU DO YOUR SHOPPING.
