Last year at this time spuds were away up near $1 a peck. There were all sorts of stories about the manipulation that had put them there. The whole country got interested in raising the supply and holding down the price. Today they are selling in some stores as low as 25 cents a peck, .vhich is about the' pre-war price. "Jther stores have them up to 35 cents i peck and the "western potatoes," vhich pose as a superior article, but ircn't, bring 40 cents a peck. Early spring vegetables from the iouth and from local hotbeds are ap pearing on the markets in increasing lumbers. Green onions, radishes, icttuce, both head and leaf, are fresh What Mother Should Know About Feeding "If children are allowed to eat when overtired, indigestion results. Thirstiness is often mistaken for hunger. Four meals a day are needed until the child is five years old. But ' ;ee, also, that he drinks plenty of ,vater. "If the children refuse plain bread and milk between meals, given them nothing. They are evidently not hungry. . "There is often too great variety of food in the child's diet. He is happier with less choice. "It is a serious offense to offer a child, for whom you are responsible, food of any description. You may seriously upset him. "Allow plent of time for the child to eat. If he plays with his food, re move it, for he doesn't want it. Offer him no food until the next neal. "Do not force a child to eat. If he !s not hungry, do not try to tempt his ippetite by offering sweets when sim ile, fnnd i9 refused. Teach him to chew his food thor- j Dughly. "Keep the child happy at meals. Laugh and grow fat applies to I :hildren as well as adults. j "Do not give children highly seasoned food. This is avoided by taking out the child's portion before seasoning the dish for the family. "It is far better to give the child his meal apart from the family when you may take time to train him in good eating habits. "The value of milk can not be overestimated; use of oatmeal, hom jiy, and corn meal, as the chief source of energy, is always wise; little or no meat is necessary until a child is 6 . (rears old; little or no sugar is needed if the child has the proper fruits." The "Balanced" Meals Is it well to talk too much about what you eat? Is it well for the mother of a family to call attention to the fact that it is wheatless ay or meatless day? It may be in somo cases, when a question is asked which should be answered. It may be wel! to let the whole family know that, they are living according to the re-1 quests of the food administration. But don't talk too much about it. The main idea in the back of the head of a hungry group is just to be fed. Talk about the tunny things that Happened during the day. Keep the family :heered up. That Wheatlest Day. BREAKFAST.

Personal Fire Pledges As to self protection against fires in one's property the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests that each individual should pledge himself as follows: I will keep our match supply in metal boxes. So far as I can I will use only safety matches. No lamps will be filled by artificial light or after dark. Coal oil and gasoline will be kept in absolutely air-tight metal receptacles. If I smoke, I will smoke where neither match, pipe, nor stub will en danger life or property. I will see that every match is out before it leaves my hand. Sponsored by the University of Paris, Mile.

A prominent Omaha woman who is deeply interested in this branch of war work has given .J200 to start the "ball rolling." The workers will have a special uniform, which will be a white apron and a cap, with the huge red cross emblazoned on the front. No woman can wear the uniform without special permission from the Red Cross.

Science Solves the Butter Problem with Butter Made from the White Meat of Cocoanuts Just when the price of butter threat ens to make it an unattainable luxury, science perfects TROCO, the new vege table butter made from the white meat of the cocoanut. It tastesexactly like the finest cream ery butter and is even more wholesome and pure. It is churned witK fresK Pasteurized milk to give true butter flavor. Because of old laws, ma'de before this discovery, we are compelled to label this nut-made butter as pleomargarine. 4 But it contains no oleo oils no hog ot, beef fat. f tTROCO is simply vegetable fafc, churned with milk for the butter taste, iYet this appetizing combination cosfs no more than does the best grades of oleor margarine. Can't Be Told From Butter TROCO has all the good qualities of fine creamery butter. The only difference you will notice is the cost. It is as nutritious as cream butter, and as easily digested. It possesses the fuel value needed for energy. TROCO when served has butter's golden color, because we supply the same vegetable coloring used by all butter makers. Served on your table, without explanation, no one can tell the difference. Goes Farther In Cooking TROCO, used in cooking, gives the same re sults as butter, except that it goes farther. Cooks should remember this and reduce the amount. It makes such cake as has not been known since butter soared in price. It allows the old-fashioned "rich cooking" that builds up the family health. Your DealerXfen Supply TROCO If your dealer doesn't already keep TROCO ask him to get it for you. Tell him you mus have this new-day successor to butter. Insist until he secures a supply.
