Potatoes on Omaha Market
Sell as Low as 25 Cents Peck
One of the remarkable features of
the vegetable and fruit market in
Omaha now is the low price of po
tatoes. 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.

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.

Many women are railed in the middle
of the night in the big eastern cities
and they are at their post in a jiffy

cheer for the soldier boys. going

red cross emblazoned on the front.
No woman can wear the uniform

formed here who will meet the even
ing trains, so that the boys leaving

good to eat

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.
For TROCO solves one of the bifcgesf prolT.
lems presented by our high food prices

wholesome butter at a moderate cost
