Quebec House in England
Preserved as Landmark
(Corraapondanea of The Aaaoclatvd Pfeaa.)
Westerham, England, June 10.
Quebec House, the home of General
Wolfe, hero of Quebec, which, be
fore the war, was one of the show
places about London for American
and Canadian tourists, has passed
from control of the Canadian govern
ment to the National Trust, a semi
official body which aims to preserve
historic landmarks.
The home was purchased in 1913
bv the late T. B. Learmont of Mon
treal, who wanted to maintain it as
a public monument. He died before
his plans could be completed, but his
Heirs conveyed to ine Canadian gov
ernment. Owing to the difficulty of
administering a trust so distant, that
government preferred that the prop
erty should be vested in an English
body.
The house contains a collection of
specimens of the native work of Ca
nadian Indians and of pictures and
prints illustrating the progress of the
Dominion. Wolfe was not born in the
house, but at a house close by which
still exists. He spent most of his
childhood days at Quebec House.

(Corrmnondtiict of Tho Aaaaclatad Preaa.)
Tokia. lune 10. Enormous Dur
chases of jewels and jewelry indicates
the wealth that has come to Japan on
account of the war. Dealera report
countless sales at high prices to the
families ot people who are quickly DC'
coming wealthy.
Another indication of Japan's pros
perity was furnished by the public
; sale of the heirlooms of the house
hold of the late Viscount Akimoto, a
peer, which brought about $750,000. An
old album of landscape pictures sold
for $70,000,' said to be the highest
price ever paid in Japan.
Omaha Housewives Are Ready
For Food Conservation Week
When Food Administrator Hoover
presses the button today and sets the
machinery in motion for the conser
vation of food and elimination of
waste in every household in the
United States, Omaha housewives will
be found prepared to respond to the
nation's call.
So ooou ar has the movement De-
come that on every hand one hears
discussions of new and original pet
economies.
The kitchen apron has indeed De-
come as much a badge of patriotic
service as the nurse's cap or the sol
dier's khaki. Every man, woman and
child in Omaha is asked today to do
his cart in saving approximately $2,-
000,000,000 a year by nonwaste of
food.
The Nebraska Council of Defense,
which met in Lincoln Saturday for the
purpose of mobilizing and correlating
the woman power of Nebraska, will
start a definite drive for co-operation
with Mr. Hoover a food conservation
campaign which will continue stead
fastly during'the period of the war.
few Slackers Here.
When asked by workers to sign the
pledge there will be found few, if
any slackers, among Omaha house
wives.
Here is what some of our best
known Omaha women are doing to
help prevent a food crisis and in
cidentally help win the' war.
Mrs. James C. uamman, wne oi
Mayor Dahlman, said: "Ever since I
visited mv sister in the Canadian
provinces, a year ago and realized the
immcuuic uciiibuu lur iviisci vauuii v
food, I have reduced the consumption
of bread in my household by cutting
the loaf at the table on a carved Swiss
bread board, which custom is ob
served quite generally in Canada. I
bought mine at the Omaha exposition,
little realizing that it would play a
part in the national food conservation
campaign. The loaf is cut as it is
needed with a carved knife to match.
This eliminates the left over slices
which dry before the next meal.
"Do not feel that it is necessary
to have different food every day on
your table. Eat all food while it is
fresh, even If the family does become
weary of seeing it on the table two
days in succession. I have also elimi
nated sweets from my menus and am
watching the waste as never before."
Eat What Cannot Be Shipped.
Mrs. I. T. Lindsey, in charge of
the woman's work of the Red Cross
in the state of Nebraska, says:.
Mv advice ij to save for ourselves
out of the abundance of food raised
in this country that food which can
not be sent abroad. For example, I
use auantities of milk, but eliminate
meat almost entirely. Starchy foods,
such as rice and macaroni, are sub
stituted for potatoes, 'which can be
sent to Europe. I endeavor to make
y substitutes as palatable ana nu
tritious as possible.
Mrs. A. L. Fernald, president of the.
Omaha Woman's club, said: "All do
not realize the vital need for conser
vation of fkod because of the appar
ent abundance of it here in the middle
west. It is every housewife s duty
to sign the conservation pledge when
asked.
Plain, nutritious "foods should be
the order of the day and extravagant
dainties should - be eliminated from
the menus. I substitute cornmeal for
wheat and can or dry all vegetables
as thev are in season.
Mrs. Frank Odell avors 'spice cakes
with bacon grease instead of spices
and avoring.
Doea Her Own Marketing.
Doing her own marketing and mak
ing her own bread is Mrs. William
Archibald Smith's particular way of
cutting down the grocery bill. I have
proved that 1 can save one-third
bv baking mv own bread, which is al
ways of the whole wheat variety. I
use rcipes for oatmeal cookies and
raisin Dread which the Canadian
women use to take the place of more
expensive cakes.
"Although busy many' mornings
and unable to go marketting, I post-
?one it until late in the afternoon, but
always do it myself. Inise meat to
the last scrap, even making soup out
of the bones."
Mrs. H. C. Sumney said: "I will
continue to do what I always have
done. Born of Yankee parents, thrifty
pioneers of Maine and New Hamp
shire, I was reared with the idea that
it was wicked to waste a thing and
wrong to say I did not like every
kind of food. I was never allowed
to have anything on my plate that I
did not eat. To this day, I observe
the rule, even in company. I never
waste a bit of fat. All my piecrust
is made of white suet. Black grease is
always used for making soap. Sausage
grease and the white grease from
roast beef makes the finest kind of
piecrust. I have not bought a can of
lard for five years. I always can by
the cold process and believe veryone
should have a cellar full of canned
vegetables and fruit. So carefully do
I watch the waste that there is not
enough good food left for the dog,
who has a special meal cooked for
him." '
Eleminates White Bread.
Mrs. John Welch has eliminated
white bread from her table and uses
corn and whole wheat breads. Ber
ries turned out of the box conserve
the juice while meat taken out of the
wrapper has the same effect," she
said. "I am not an advocate of an
economic hysteria, for X believe we
should do everything to prevent busi
ness from being paralyzed. Eat
meat once a day but do not buy
flour and other staples in great quan
tities; thus tying up the supply."
Mrs. C. W. Russell is a firm advo
cate of the kitchen garden. "Although
wc hire a man to attend to the gar
den and it probably cots us as much
in the end as it would to buy the food
direct from the store, which really
would be less trouble, I believe every
family should produce their own veg
etables, and not draw upon the food
supply when such an abundance is
needed in turope, any ot us can do
to produce our own supply, we
will have sufficient vegetables from
our own garden last throughout
the winter.
Mrs. Henry Yates said I believe
that we should all live within our
own home production and give what
we have to spare to others who have
less than we." Mrs. Yates has a
large garden and shares its products
with the needy.
Mrs. ueorge Joslyn, one ot
Omaha's wealthiest women said, "I
feel that we should all begin to
economize so that our food supplies
will hold out until the war is over.
In my household, we serve meat four
times a week and potatoes thrte times
a week, and substitute whole wheat
and graham bread for the white to
conserve the white flour.
MEMBER OF BEE STAFF AT
OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP.
ROBERT P. KIMBALL.
Robert P. Kimball, formerly of The
Bee advertising department and now
attending the officers' reserve training
camp at Fort Snelling, writes that he
is enjoying every minute of the time
spent in drill and other .maneuvers.
"You ought to see me now; I'm
as tanned as an Indian."

better than today. The only com
plaint travelers had against' them in
the old dava was the paved strip in
the center was too narrow. That
complaint cannot be made after the
British highway plans have been com
pleted, for all the main highways will
be macadamed to a width permitting
three broad-guage lorries to run
abreast, and even the byways will
allow traffic to pass easily at any :
point. . , ...
Excessive dustiness is the only fault
of the roads today, for war economics
will not permit the use of precious oil
on roadways.
There is little need anywhere in this
district for straightening roads or
altering routes, because the roads of

June 17. Hundreds of miles of the
smooth white macadam roads of
northern France will remain for many
years after the war as a real memorial
to the devastated towns which the
Germans left in ruins after their
retreat this spring.
All over northern France the roads
are being widened and resurfaced with
stone and rubble from the wrecked
houses of Peronne, Albert, Arras, and
countless other ruined towns and vil
lages. As fast as the British soldiers
clear away the debris of the towns, it
is piled into lorries and distributed
in heaps along the main roads., There
German prisoners toil the day long
pounding it into level patches which
the great steam rollers, many of them
bearing familiar American names,
?;rind quickly into smooth macadam
or the business of transport.
The brick and stone of these old
buildings makes as good road ma
terial as could be obtained anywhere,
and the work of the German dyna
miter has been so thorough that much
of it is crushed fine enough to need
no further preparation.
The roads of northern France were
always excellent, but they were never i

ENGLISH TOBACCO
DEALERS SCORED
Are Accused of Boosting Prices
of "Soldiers' Luxury" Far

(Corraapondanca of fha Aaaoclatad Praia.)
London. May 20. The most unpop
ular persons in England at the pres
ent day are the retail tobacco dealers.
They are accused of the most brazen

yet been achieved. The budget intro
duced recently raised the tax on to
bacco by 44 cents a pound. Thereupon
almost all of the dealers announced a
raise in prices averaging on all forms
of tobacco about 64 cents a pound.
The dealers take advantage of an' ex
tra tax to charge the consumer the
tax and also an extra profit of 20
cents a pound. The consumers are
indignant, but as the dealers gener
ally hang together, the consumers
have no remedy except to stop using
tobacco. There is an additional
grievance in that a large proportion
of the tobacco used in England i;
consumed by the soldiers in training,
on leave or in hospitals and purchased
by home people to send to their sol
diers at the front.
The profits resulting from this in
creased tax really work out at more
than 20 cents a pound, because both
the tax and profit are charaed on all
the tobacco now in stock which paid
duty at the old rate. So that, on the
stocks in hand when the duty was
raised, the dealers are making a new
profit of 64 cents a pound.
The tobacco trade will make about
$55,000,000 a year for collecting the
new duty which is expected to yield
$30,000,000 revenue, according to the
estimates of a correspondent of the
Daily Mail. He figures also that the
traders have about 44,UUU,UUU pounds

world politics cannot be pursued
with Central Africa alone. We need
other bases also for our world trade
and sea traffic. In the far east, in the
Pacific ocean we have for three de
cades possessed a rising little colonial
empire, and it would be an unforgiv
able and irreparable mistake if we
were" to abandon our South sea
colonies and to withdraw ffom the
Pacific, merely because the great set
tlement of interests has begun among
the three great powers Japan, North
America and xngland-Australia, and
because we shall have to fear that at
some later date we should come into
contact with these powers.
"If the three powers were to arrive
at a perfect and permanent agreement
about the f acme ocean and China our
case would be hopeless. But as long
as Japan and America oppose one an
other in more or less open' hostility,
and as long as Australia sees in
laoan. whom England has summoned
to the protection of its interests in the
east, its most dangerous competitor
and oooonent as long as these things
are so, Germany has no occasion to
budge from' the facihc.
"A temporary occupation of our
colonies by our enemies is of no de
cisive importance. The disappearance
of the German flag from New Guinea
and the group ot islands in tne ra
cific would mean an irreparable loss
of prestige and world power for the
German empire all over the east. If
we lose our naval bases there we fall
back to the rank of mere carriers and
traders, in whose face the door can
always be slammed."
