Dr.Wiley ' Prepares an Ideal Food Box For 3] New Plan of Relief Suggested by Wash- ! ington Woman---How You Can Aid the Stricken Little Sister of the World = By WILL IR®WIN — MRS. JOSEPH DARLING DIRECTING THE PACKING OF IDEAL FOOD BOXES. HIS is going to be a pretty hard winter in America. The war In Europe bas disturbed business In every direction. We have a few hungry people ourselves. And yet Belgium, a brave little, thrifty little natlon of 7,000,000 people, is going to starve to death this winter unless Am ia feeds the Belgians. How are we going to take care both of our own and of the “stricken little sister of the world?” A woman solved the problem. Mrs. Joseph Darling of Washington had |Puck so long as he can reach it with been knitting stockings and scarfs for European war sufferers until it occurred |his stick, . to her that she might be using her brains as well as her fingers. She sat do forthwith and thought out the idea of “food boxes for Belglum.” Mrs. Darl! saw Dr. Harvey Wiley, who laid out the ideal food boxes for Belgian relief. and their plan has now been taken up by the woman's section of the commis slon for relief in Belgium, of which Mrs. Lindon Bates is chairman. Dr. Wiley’s box for Belgian adults, as slightly revised to get its welght inside the parcel post regulations, Is as follows: Three No. 3 tins of beans, |the past has been a feature of many three No. 1 tins of pink Alaska salmon, one five-pound sack of rolled oats, one |games here will thus be abolished to five-pound sack of yellow cornmeal, one five-pound sack of yellow split peas. |a great extent. A faster game is pos- ene two-pound sack of granulated sugar, one three-pound sack of Californiz |giple under the new rule. prunes, one seven-pound sack of wheat flour, one one-pound sack of salt, one can opener, one box. That, however, is only a guide to the kind of food which the Belgians need. from thé grocer. Belgium wants any kind of food which will stand ocean transportation, which excludes fresh fruit and vegetables. The commission for relief in Belgium has arranged with the postoffice . partment to transmit all Belgian relief foodstuffs free of cost to the donor. lyou put your name and address on the package and add the letter “R” 'money expended for stamps will be refunded by the commission.

The Fox Hills Club has for sometime been keeping this fixture in view and tomorrow, at the annual meeting of the United States Golf Association the decision of the officials will be made known. The Baltusrol club has also been a keen competitor for the tournament and contends that it is entitled to Sinners. The Garden City Golf Club has a look in and the Wilmington Country Club' is anxious to secure the open or any other championships. Many Western men have expressed a desire to see the open held again over the Long Island course. It is regarded in the West as certain that the open will be held near New York. If the large delegation from Chicago vote solid they will probably hold the key to the situation. Body checking in hockey has been now be checked.

It is safe to predict that the “NEW BE- MIDJI will be the popular “writing stick” in this section of the state within a very short period. i You’ve often wanted that smooth writing lead. the kind that makes you want to write forever. Well, that’s just the kind you’H find in the “NEW BEMIDJL.”” Everybody sells ’em, or ought to. Just ask your merchant, if he does not carry them in stock he’ll be glad to call 31 by telephone, and your desires will be filled while you wait. Just Say To The Man: “Here’s five cents, a new Bemidji, please” Bemidji right this minute. These merchants ‘them as fast as deliveries can be made. Their names will be added to ‘this list then.

Both of the military colleges develop offi- cers in all the “tricks of the trade.” For instance, these colleges have de- veloped—in theory at least—that a battle fleet from Europe might ap- proach America’s shores, halt at a distance of fully $00 miles from New York, and then &8hd out over. the waves an aircraft loaded with bombs f|to drop on America’s metropolis. In these colleges officers of both services are given the benefit of a world tfaining in strategy. They are taught to go the other fellow one better. .
