HIS LABORS ENDED
People's Acclaim of Washington
as Their. Hero Journeyed
to Annapolis to Lay
Down His Sword.
CXD6ta written for tha nnvolUn of the
taMtt at Bavern Ctom Roada, where
Waahlnston passed on his way to resign
his commission at Annapolis.
T
ff 15, roadside sings again today-Here
where the barren
branches sway
'Arid keen December winds sweep by
'Beneath a cold and azure sky
The old road echoes to some tread
'Of morning in a vanished hour
When here the red-cheeTced courier
sped,
'And here the young land's pride and
flower
Of glory and achievement came
To add fresh glory to his name.
The villages had all come out,
To hear the news, to watch about
To catch some glimpse far up the
way
)0f Washington who from the fray,
t'Jb?id from the council and the crest,
Was riding down his sword to lay
Once more upon his country's
breast
While he stepped bach to that sweet
rest
We yearned for. Yonder sounds a
colli
LI bugle's note, mayhap the fall
D horse-hoofs on the old State
road '
Vrom every hamlet and abode
Men, women, children, hurry forth:
The wind is sweet, though west by
north,
'And keen with that sharp chill that
comes .
When on the hill the partridge
drums.
This way they look, this way and
thail
They'll know him by his coat and
hat;
They've seen his face in pictures, so
There won't be any doubt they'll
- know;
Wut deep within their hearts they
sigh
They'll know him by his forthright
eye,
iHta noble mien, his lofty frame,
His fitting in with road and sky
Aa nature fits all great forms in,
And signs the. portrait with her
name.
The young folk chatter, mile and
grin,
The old are prons to be severe,
And stretch each vortice of the ear
To catch that first sharp clicking
sound
Of the stage coach thundering on its
way,
The hoof-beat on the frozen ground
That knows the kind of tune to play.
Some in small groups together
drawn
Wait on the green bench of a lawn,
And these in somewise more se
date The wisdom of his act debate.
One rises who defends the sire
Of his great land, and vows with ire
'Tis only a great man's way, indeed,
To give up lofty tplace, secede
From honors of such high degree,
Putting ambition aside, and fame,
Upon the altar whence they came
His country's heart and stepping
down
From all the lure of high renown,
Take his old place in life again.
One with all kindred gentlemenf.
Some tell the story of his trip,
While others hark with hanging
lip
That parting at old Fraunces inn
With those who'd been his aids at
war.
Tears in his eyes, and in his heart
That aching that they feel who part
With comrades and with friends
who've spent
Hours with them in the battlement
Of life, of fate, of hopes and dreams,
And brave adventurings long before.
Then to the barge they see him go
At Whitehall Ferry, bowing low
In all that stately form of grace
At each bowed head and tear-stained
face.
And then that silent, sweet adieu
At Paulus Hook sad words and
few,
A silent waving of the hand
Back to Itis high and faithful band,
Then with his face set hither
strong
In the high purpose he had made
To heed no imploring of the throng
But lay at his country's feet his
blade.
Then the triumphant jaunt begun
Those days of journeying in the sun;
The plaudits of a nation's best '
Poured round Kim at each slopping
place,
And on the roads from mile to mile
Always some patriot in whose
breast
Inviolate love had left its trace,
Coming to bow by the road he'd take
And kiss fhe cold ground for his
dear sake.
Philadelphian's loud acclaim.
Then Baltimore her royal bounty
Poured as 'twas never poured before,
By every county scat and county
To pay due homage to his name,
And give him a welcome at this door
Of Maryland he'd remember long
As life should last or dreams prolong
Their memories in his noble soul.
Then once again the coach wheel
roll.
He's coming down the General's
Way!
The' old State road is Ood's today!
Ood's and beneath his sparkling
sun
Ood's and the Qeneral Washington!
Ten miles beyond the cross roads lies
The capital; o'er yonder rise
The Severn smiles 'neath azure skies,
Where Indian Landing sleeps beside
The murmuring music of that tidp,
Whose song as light as beauty
.cheers
The silvering romance of the years.
He'll pass here soon; and this way
rings
The music of the morn! Had kings
Such love from those they rule as
Ah well, what kingdoms we should
see! -
But he has struck down kings; his
sword
Had fought for, freedom and the
Lord.
And now the cross roads teems with
life,
The hour has come, the keen wind's
knife
Is cutting under skin and bone,
But who cares for the cold- thai
lone,
Qrav6 figure shall rewarm each
heart!
An echo; see how sharp ears start.
It is the General hooray!
And down the General's Highway
The yeomen who have seen him pass
Follow in cheering groups one
mass
Of burning and of patriot zeal
To be first followers at his heel.
It is the General hooray!
This roadside sings again today.
1'his nation sings, its heart, still
bowed
Before him in those dreams thai
crowd.
The moving canvas of the years.
There, like a peer among his peers,
The vision looms again, and he
Stands in that room we stillnay see,
One hand behind his back, and ont
Laying that sword his bravery won
Upon the table. A shaft of light
Across the senate chamber steals
A prelate in the foreground kneel
A consecrated hour, indeed,
That hour of high, exalted need,
That noble 'and immortal act
Its spirit gleaming above its fact,
Its soul of beauty so made one
With the high soul of Washington
Uncle Sam's
Food Lessons
(Spoclal Information Borvlco U. a Ue
pnrtincnt of Agriculture)
START THE DAY RIGHT.
A good breakfast can be- had of
Fruit, Cereal, Milk. Theso make a
nourishing, easy to cook, good, cheap
meal of foods the government asks us
to eat
Use Fruit
Krult helps to keep your body In
good health and to prevent constipa
tion. Use fresh fruit when possible.
' Use1 prunes, dried apples, dried nprl
cots. Soak them In water over nlfiht
nnd cook them long enough to inuku
them tender.
Uso dates or raisins. Theso arc
Rood ndded to the cereal ten minutes
before taking it from the stove. Then
you will not need sugar.
Uso ripe ImnnniiB with dark skins.
IlnnnnuH with greenish-yellow skins
arc hard to digest unless cooked.
Use Cereals.
Cornmeal mush, oatmeal, rice, hom
iny (grits).
These are much cheaper than tho
"rcady-to-eat" breakfast foods. A
"ready-to-eat" breakfast food may
cost 15 cents for a big package, but If
the package contains only one-quurter
pound CO cents n pound for cereal!
This Is eight or ten times as expen
sive as cornmeal at six or seven cents
a pound. Look for the weights print
ed on the package and get the most,
for your money.
Cornmeal mush and oatmeal are
good only when well cooked. Many
people use too little salt and don't
cook them lung enough.
To cook cornmeal mush for flvo peo
ple use one and one-half cupfuls corn-
meal, two teaspoonfuls bait (level),
live or six cupfuls wuter. llrlng Bait
ed watjr to a boll. Stir In tho corn
meal slowly. Don't let It lump. Cook
It at leust !I0 minutes. It Is better
when cooked for three hours, or over
night. Use a double boiler on the
buck of the Move, or a tireless cooker.
For oatmeal uso two and one-half
cupfuls rolled oats, two and one-half
teaspoonfuls salt, live or six cupfuls
wuter. Bring the water to a boll. Stir
the rolled oats slowly into the boiling
wuter and cook for one hour, or over
night. Eat tho cereal with milk or sirup
or butter or butter substitutes. You
don't need bread besides.
A large amount of cornmeal or oat
meal may be cooked ut ono time. The
unused part placed In a greased bowl
may be kept for a few duys In a cool
place. Do you know how good Bllccd
and fried oatmeal Is?
Instead of breakfast food you can
tako bread preferably one of tho war
breads. Corn bread and milk Is dell
clous. Use Milk.
Milk Is an excellent food. A quart
of whole milk gives as much nourish
ment ns one pound of lenn meat
Children especially need It to make
them grow strong and keep well. It
Is good for grown pcoplo, tpo. Give
each child at least a glass for break
fast. Drink it hot or cold, or uso It
on tho cereal, or make It Into Cocoa.
Even at a high price milk Is a chcup
food for children.
No Coffee and Tea for Children.
, These are not food. Let the grown
people huvo them If they wunt them,
but do not give tho children even a
taste. The children's drink Is milk.
. CHOOSE YOUR FOOD WISELY.
Study These Five Food Group.
Every food you eat muy bo put Into
one of theso groups. Each group serves
a special purpose in nourishing your
body. You should choose some food
from each group dally.
1. Vegetables and fruits.
2. Milk, eggs, fish, meat, cheese,
beans, peas, peanuts. (
3. Cereals cornmeal, oatmeal, rice,
bread, etc.
4. Sugar, sirups, Jelly, honey, etc.
5. Fats butter, margarine, cotton
seed oil, olive oil, drippings, suet
You cun exchnngo ono food for an
other in tho some group. For example,
oatmeal may bo used Instead of wheat,
.and eggs, or sometimes beans, Instcud
of meat; but oatmeal cannot be used
Instead of milk. Use both oatmeal and
mlk.
You need somo food from each group
every day DONT SKIP ANY.
Ilcro are the reasons why you need
tho flvo groups:
Fruits and vegetables furnish some
of the material from which tho body
Is raado tnd keep Its many parts work
ing smoothly. Thov heln nrovont con.
stlputlon which given you headaches
and makes you stupid. Tho kinds you
choose depend upon tho season, but re
remember that tho cheaper ones are
often as valuablo as the moro expen
sive. Milk, eggs, fish, meat, peas, beans'.
Thcsehelp build up tho growing body
nnd renew used-up parts. Thnt is their
main business. Dried peas and benns
mako good dishes to uso In place of
meat part of tho time, but don't leuve
out tho other foods entirely. Milk is
tho most Important. Buy nt lenst n
pint a day for every member of your
family. No other food can tnko Its
place for children. Snvo on meat If
you must, but don't skimp on milk.
Cereals. Bread and breakfast foods.
Theso foods net ns fuel to let you do
your work, much ns tho gnsollno burn
Ing In nn nutomobllo engine makes tho
car go. This you can think of as their
.chief business. And they nro usually
your cheapest fuel. Besides, the give
your body some building material.
Don't think that wheat bread Is tho
only kind of cereal food. The govern
ment nsks us to snvo wheat to send
abroad to our soldiers nnd the allies.
Let tho North try tho Southern corn
bread and the South tho oatmeal of
tho North. Half tho fun of cooking Is
In trying now things. An ontmcnl pud
ding Is delicious.
Sugar and Sirups nro fuel, too, nnd
they give flavor to other foods. They
nro valuable food, but many peoplo cat
tnore of them than they need. Sweet
fruits, of course, contnln much sugar
and nre better for the children than
candy.
Fat Fat Is fuel. Somo Is needed es
pecially by hard-working people. Re
member that expensive fats are no
better fuel than cheap ones. Use drip
pings. Don't let your butcher keep
tho trimmings from your meat. They
belong to you. Children need somo
butter fnt. (live It to them In plenty
of whole milk or In butter.
Remember the Five Groups.
SCHOOLS AID FOOD CAMPAIGN
Uncle Sam's Bureau of Education Re.
ports Prompt Response by Pupils
to Nation's Need.
Tho response of mnny city school
departments Mo tho need for the pro
duction and conservation of food In
tho United Stntes hns been prompt
nnd efficient, nccordlng to Uncle Sam's
bureau of education. Thirty-four City
school superintendents hnvo reported
a total of 07,a88 children engaged In
tho cultivation of home vegetnblo gar
dens. "During the coming year tho need
for the production of food will bo
greater than ever, nnd profiting by our
experience, we should train tho chil
dren under our enro to Incrcnso their
production and render n greater serv
ice to our country," says'n bulletin of
tho bureau. "During the period of tho
war many Individuals and ngenclcs nro
giving voluntarily of both time nnd
money in the campaign for the pro
duction and conservation of food.
With tho return of normal times this
voluntary taxation will bo .largely
withdrawn. School-directed home
gardening has demonstrated Its eco
nomic and educational value. Tho work
should bo Intensified and Incorporated
as n part of the school program In ev
ery clfy nnd town of the United States.
Gardening under the direction of a
wcll-trnlned teacher returns to tho
community In money many times tho
cost of the work. Tho half of our
population that lives In cities should
In so far ns possible, be taught to
grow Its own food that in any future
crisis that may come to the United
States the lack of knowledge nnd abil
ity to produce food shall not be a na
tional wenkness."
URGES NATURAL ICE HARVEST
Uncle Sam's Fuel ' Administration
Points Out a Way to 8ave Mil
lions of Tons of Coal.
A great harvest of natural Ice la
proposed by Uncle Sam's fuel admin
istration as a means of saving coal
this winter. Fifteen million tons of
coal are used annually lu American ice
factories and refrigerating plants. The
winter season manufactures each year,
without expense to man, billions of
tons of ice. Most of this Is wasted.
Every ton of natural lco which Is
harvested will tuko the placo of a ton
of artificial ice and will savo COO
pounds of coal.
Every householder, storekeeper and
farmer who can obtain ice from near
by rivers and ponds and storo It for
uso next summer Is urged to do so.
Tho organization of the 5,000 Ice
making plants of the country along
lines of fuel economy is receiving the
attention of the fuel administration.
Quite Fundamental.

"I don't mind," sho said. "Only I

"And that Is?"
"I have dreamed for years of getting

will marry you If when you return
you will propose to me all over again,
and we can go on a honeymoon and I

"All right," he said with a smile, "To
be honest with you, dcaresj, I thought
I was going to escape all that but I
see It's no use. I might have known
better. Even a war like this cannot
keep a woman from having her own
way especially about a wedding."
' Kissing Always Popular.
Kissing was onco a dangerous gamo
to piny in England. Thus in 1000 wo

Tuttlo wero prosecuted for "sotting

about her waste and her arms around
his nccko, nnd continuing In that sinful
position about half nn hour, In which
time he kissed her and sho kissed him,
or they kissed ono another, as ye wit

Tea Long Used In China.
Tea was used and cultivated In
China as 'fur back as tho third cen
tury, A. D., but it was not until the
twelfth century thnt it became known
In Japan, when nn abbot of a Budd
hist monastery learned about It In
China, where Its virtues were already
well known. Obtaining seed, he planted
somo near Kyoto. In later years some
of this was transplanted near Shi
r.uokn, which vicinity has ever since
been the center of tho tea Industry of
Japan. It was not until about the
seventeenth century that tea became
generally known In Europe, when It
was exploited by the Dutch East In
dian company as a new article of com
merce. The first tea sold In England
brought $15 to $20 a pound.
