CONSERVE FOOD BY STOPPING WASTE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR SHOWS HOW EVERY HOUSEWIFE CAN DO HER BIT COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE ASKS THAT THESE RULES BE OBSERVED The following has been received at this office from Mrs. A. J. Lawton, chairman of the woman's committee, Orange county council of defense, with a request to publish it. It is also requested that housekeepers keep it for reference in the future: Win the War by Giving Your Own Daily Service Save the Wheat—One wheatless meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barley bread and non-wheat breakfast foods. Order bread 24 hours in advance so your baker will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as required. Use stale bread for cooking, toast, etc. Eat less cake and pastry. Our wheat harvest is far below normal. If each person weekly saves one pound of wheat flour that means 150,000,000 more bushels of wheat for the Allies to mix in their bread. This will help them to save Democracy. Save the Meat—Beef, mutton or pork not more than once daily. Use freely vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller portions, and grain alcohol, mixed by shaking the glass gently. Pour slowly from the glass, noting how the "Pectin"—the substance in fruits which makes them "jell"—is precipitated. If the pectin is precipitated as one lump, a cup of sugar may be used for each cup of juice; if in several lumps the proportion of sugar may be reduced to approximately three-fourths of the amount of juice. If the pectin is not in lumps, but is merely precipitated, the sugar should be one-fourth or less of the amount of the juice. If the juice shows no precipitation under the test, it is unsuitable for jelly making, and must be combined with apple juice, or orange pectin, or other juices rich in pectin. The housewife will do well before making the test to taste the juice as fruits not as acid as good tart apples probably will not make good jelly unless mixed with other fruits which are acid. Three things are required to make jelly—pectin, acid and sugar. Jelly stocks are made by sorting, washing and mashing the fruit, place on back of the stove and extract the juice at a temperature of about 135 degrees. Strain juice, then follow directions for jelly making. Oatmeal Biscuits 5 ounces each of Oatmeal (not rolled oats) and white cornmeal. 3 ounces each of butter and sugar. 1 teaspoonful of baking powder. 1 egg. Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients, then stir in the butter, which must be melted, and the egg well beaten. Make into a dough and work thoroughly with the hands. Roll out as thin as possible and divide into square or oblong biscuits. Bake in rather a slow oven until light brown. In this recipe cornmeal is substituted for wheat flour, thus giving which leaves obstacle removed before the market be placed on a satisfactory free consumption restored. With many small dealers these small dealers are now available. They are down to a level that uniform consumption these small dealers are market and the situation a firmer feeling tive demand, says The fact that many are showing up poor pull down the general realized. In addition erable of the fruit is甜 and while the fruit to be frozen or heat sense of the word thing" lacking in some clas either as a rever weather earlier in the hot spell two months sponsible for the poor of the fruit now being to the well known "ifications of the Valencias each season market owing to the season. This condition from many states used largely at the in making up a popular similar to lemonade more generally used each year. F. o. b. prices at the basis of $2.50 to $2.75 Our wheat harvest is far below normal. If each person weekly saves one pound of wheat flour that means 150,000,000 more bushels of wheat for the Allies to mix in their bread. This will help them to save Democracy. Save the Meat—Beef, mutton or pork not more than once daily. Use freely vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller portions, and stews instead of steaks. Make dishes of all left overs. Do this and there will be meat enough for every one at a reasonable price. We are today killing the dairy cows and female calves as the result of high prices. Therefore, eat less and eat no young meat. If we save an ounce of meat each day per person, we will have an additional supply equal to 2,200,000 cattle. Save the Milk—The children must have milk. Use every drop. Use buttermilk and sour milk for cooking and making cottage cheese. Use less cream. Save the Fats—We are the world's greatest fat wasters. Fat is food. Butter is essential for the growth and health of children. Use butter on the table as usual but not in cooking. Other fats are as good. Reduce use of fried foods. Save daily one third ounce animal fats. Soap contains fats. Don't waste it. Make your own washing soap at home out of the saved fats. Use one third ounce less per day of animal fat and 375,000 tons will be saved yearly. Save the Sugar—Sugar is scarcer. We use today three times as much per person as our Allies. So there may be enough for all at reasonable price, use less candy and sweet drinks. Do not stint sugar in putting up fruit and jams. They will save butter. If everyone in America saves one ounce of sugar daily, it means 1,100,000 tons for the year. Save the Fuel—Coal comes from a distance and our railways are overburdened hauling war material. Help relieve them by burning fewer fires. Use wood when you can get it. Use the Perishable Foods—Fruits and vegetables we have in abundance. As a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and improve your health. Store potatoes and other roots properly and they will keep. Begin now to can or dry all surplus 3 ounces each of butter and sugar. 1 teaspoonful of baking powder. 1 egg. Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients, then stir in the butter, which must be melted, and the egg well beaten. Make into a dough and work thoroughly with the hands. Roll out as thin as possible and divide into square or oblong biscuits. Bake in rather a slow oven until light brown. In this recipe cornmeal is substituted for wheat flour, thus giving a wheatless biscuit. A little wheat or rice flour however is needed to prevent sticking. Should the oatmeal seem too coarse, it can easily be made finer by passing it through the mincer, using the peanut cutter. Fat for Cooking 1 pound of Kidney Suet cut in small pieces. Place in clean kettle. Add one-half cup cold water. Render over a slow fire. Strain off liquid fat. To one cup of the liquid fat allow one cup cottonseed oil and one-half teaspoon salt. Beat as it cools until it is white and thick. Use for frying or a butter substitute. This costs about thirty-four cents altogether and makes about 2½ pounds of clean wholesome fat. Economized Butter To one-half pound of butter add one cup of milk, beat together until well blended, add one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-half teaspoonful of butter color. Put on ice and use instead of butter. DON'T KILL THE CALF Thousands of calves in California are being killed as soon as they are born. The world's food emergency means that this practice should be stopped. Such is the advice urged by the committee on resources and food supply of the California state council of defense. The reason why so many calves are being wasted, according to Professor F.W.Woll of the university, is that there is at present a great demand for casein, and farmers get such high prices for their skim milk that they are loth to keep enough of it to feed their young stock. But not only can calves be raised without feeding whole milk, but after two or three weeks they can be gradually changed over from a diet of milk to a gruel made of calf meal. Homemade calf meal is likely to be cheaper and better than commercial calf meals, The summer's meadow spread across country east of the week, causing severe cities which lie unprecedented demes. As a result the mass very much excited prices in the history are being paid market on Thursday record price records carload of lemons district. This price highest ever realized car of lemons. Under existing conditions to quote the market being can be had for the late reports show West has cooled that the cool wave ward. Another house from the Northwest Save the Fuel—Coal comes from a distance and our railways are overburdened hauling war material. Help relieve them by burning fewer fires. Use wood when you can get it. Use the Perishable Foods—Fruits and vegetables we have in abundance. As a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and improve your health. Store potatoes and other roots properly and they will keep. Begin now to can or dry all surplus garden products. Use Local Supplies—Patronize your local producer. Distance means money. Buy perishable food from the neighborhood nearest you and thus save transportation. General Rules Buy less, serve smaller portions. Preach the "gospel of the clean plate." Don't eat a fourth meal. Don't limit the plain food of growing children. Watch out for rhe wastes in the community. Full garbage pails in America mean empty dinner pails in America and Europe. If the most fortunate of our people will avoid waste and eat no more than they need, the high cost of living problem of the less fortunate will be solved. HERBERT HOOVER, U. S. Food Administrator. A Simple Jelly Test Much waste of sugar and spoilage of jellies can be avoided by using a simple alcohol test recommended by the bureau of chemistry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. To determine how much sugar should be used with each kind of juice, put a spoonful of juice into a glass and add to it one spoonful of 95% PASSING THROUGH PERIOD OF PRICE READJUSTMENT Citrus Fruit Shipments and Market Summary for Past Week The situation on Valencias shows little change over a week ago. The Valencia deal has been going through a period of price readjustment that is always attended by many difficulties. which leaves obstacles that must be removed before the market can again be placed on a satisfactory basis and the free consumption of fruit again restored. With prohibitive prices many small dealers drop out of the market and devote their attention to the cheaper priced summer fruits that are now available. Now that prices are down to a level that insures a more uniform consumption of Valencias, these small dealers are again in the market and the situation is developing a firmer feeling with a more active demand, says the Fruit World. The fact that many of the Valencias are showing up poor color helps to pull down the general average price realized. In addition to this, considerable of the fruit is lacking in quality and while the fruit cannot be said to be frozen or heated in the true sense of the word, there is "something" lacking in some of the Valencias either as a result of the cold weather earlier in the season or the hot spell two months ago that is responsible for the poor quality of some of the fruit now being offered. Owing to the well known "come back" qualifications of the Valencia orange the balance of the crop remaining to be moved may show no trace of this condition, which, of course, is not general, but troublesome; nevertheless it reflects on the crop as a whole. Reports from the east state that many prominent resort points that usually take liberal quantities of Valencias each season are not in the market owing to the poor business season. This condition is reported from many states. Valencias are used largely at the different resorts in making up a popular summer drink similar to lemonade and is becoming more generally used for that purpose each year. F. o. b. prices at this time are on a basis of $2.50 to $2.75 according to tion circles, and which was obtained by having more members pass the International Y. M. C. A. Bible study examinations than any other county association in the country. Also, the city of Orange is given the first place in the international competition with over forty boys passing the examination, and is awarded the handsome Dan McDonald cup for the year. This is the first time this trophy on the Bible study honors has come west of the Rocky mountains, and that it should come to Orange county is fitting and proper. The cup is now on display in the Ehlen and Grote show window at Orange. The cup has been competed for since 1906 and has been won at different times by the associations at Buffalo, Toronto, Hamilton, Ont., Tecumseh, Mich., Lynville, Ia., and Woodstock, Va., The Lynville association won permanent possession by holding it three years in succession, but later turned it back for competition by organized points in county association. It will be held by the Orange boys until July, 1918, when it must be returned for further competition. The Orange association is also honored by receiving ninth place in the unlimited city association class, and will have their name engraved on the honor roll of the ten Y. M. C. A.'s with the highest number of certificates each year. NEW TRAFFIC LAW The new state law, governing loaded trucks and vehicles on the highways of California, became operative July 27th. This law supersedes the county ordinance, which allowed 700 pounds per inch of tire, the new law permitting but 600 pounds. The total weight that may be carried on four NEW TRAFFIC LAW The new state law, governing loaded trucks and vehicles on the highways of California, became operative July 27th. This law supersedes the county ordinance, which allowed 700 pounds per inch of tire, the new law permitting but 600 pounds. The total weight that may be carried on four wheels is 30,000, and 40,000 when axles are not less than 96 inches apart. If the wheels have other than metal tires, the conveyance may be loaded with 800 pounds to the tire inch. Not more than two trailers are allowed, and the large one must be equipped with brakes. No brakes are required on the smaller trailers, such as are used for camping. When a tire inch is mentioned, a wheel with a tire one inch wide is indicated. This law is not entirely satisfactory to the beet growers, who are not permitted to haul as heavy loads as under the county ordinance. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, is one of the men from this county who endeavored to have the state law the same as the Orange county ordinance. The penalty for the violation of the state law is a fine of not more than $100 or 30 days imprisonment in the county jail, or both, for first offense; not less than $50 nor more than $100, or 30 days in jail, or both, for second offense, and not less than $100 nor more than $250, or 30 days in jail, or both for third offense. HONEY SORGHUM Honey sorghum has been found by the University of California to yield the best results at the University Farm. During the past three years the honey sorghum at the farm has produced an average yearly yield of 27.4 tons of green forage to the acre. Red Amber and Orange give promising results. The lowest yield from the sweet sorghums was from Early Amber, a dwarf, early maturing variety. But nevertheless, Early Amber yielded 12.4 tons to the acre. Most of the varieties of sweet or saccharine sorghums being grown at the farm will reach maturity about the time the short courses for farmers Announcement The Wiley B. A.

We are going to sell pianos, but they w carload of lemons from the A. C. G. district. This price standing as the highest ever realized on a straight car of lemons. Under existing conditions it is impossible to quote prices on lemons, the market being on a basis of what can be had for the fruit. Late reports show that the Middle West has cooled off somewhat and that the cool wave is traveling eastward. Another hot wave is reported from the Northwest, however, and there is no telling what the outcome will be. Foreign lemon importers are taking advantage of the hot spell with an offering of 40,000 boxes of lemons on Thursday and another lot of 50,000 boxes on Friday which should relieve the situation in the East.

Red Amber and Orange give promising results. The lowest yield from the sweet sorghums was from Early Amber, a dwarf, early maturing variety. But nevertheless, Early Amber yielded 12.4 tons to the acre. Most of the varieties of sweet or saccharine sorghums being grown at the farm will reach maturity about the time the short courses for farmers begin on September 24, so the short course students will be given an opportunity to study these varieties and to learn something of the methods employed in their production. The sweet sorghums have aroused great interest in California in recent years because they have high value as forage crops, because they can be grown without irrigation, because they enjoy hot weather, and because they make good growth on practically all soils, if proper caution is taken to preserve the natural precipitation. HARD TO HEAR AIRPLANE AT SEA While it is widely known that an airplane can be heard for some distance off on land, on water the lapping of the waves and the whistling of the wind through the rigging and superstructure of a vessel make it almost impossible to hear the power plant of an approaching seaplane until it is almost overhead. Hence the submarine plying on the surface has slight warning of an impending seaplane attack until it is often too late to escape.—Scientific American.
