FOOD CONSERVATION MENUS.

The Food Administration asks all
the people to substitute corn meal or
some other \ cereal for wheat, in order
that we nI y export the wheat to
France. Jus now the need there is
urgent and m e met or the army
cannot be sustained in the field. We
give sample menus for two (lays'
meals. These arc meatless meals, a
few arc wheatless, and all reduce the
use of wheat. They. arc abundant in
nourishment, and thoroughly appe-
tizing. No sacrifice is involved in eat-
ing such food, if it is well prepared;
and no kind of food is good if it is
not so prepared. Of course these
menus are merely suggestive, as tried
and found good. Boiled or mashed
potatoes may well find place at din-
ner, and baked potatoes at luncheon.
The potato crop is plentiful, and if
potatoes are not reasonable in price
it will be because the farmer hoards
them for higher prices or the middle-
man or retailer is overcharging. The
consumers should look to that.

Quality, super-excellence, marked
the meeting of the Jewish Woman's
Club on Reciprocity Day, Sunday af-
ternoon, Nov. 4, at the Temple Beth
El vestry rooms. Rarely was an audi-
ence SO luxuriously entertained.
Following an address of welcome by
Miss Miriam Goldman, the president,
the program opened with a musical
number, the First Movement of
Tschaikowsky Concerto in B Flat
Minor, by Miss Sylvia Simons, with
an orchestral acompaniment by Mr.
Frederick Boothioyd. These young
artists gave brilliant evidence of an

details of correct style; but he realizes that it pays to have

that kind of clothes; and that's the. kind he wants.

He knows fairly well what suits him in pattern and weave of fabric;
he can tell by the mirror and the obliging friend if "it ;L" But the
average man takes his style in clothes as he takes his law or his inmli-
cine—on somebody else's advice.

Now, we're in the "style business"; we know and produce the cor-
rect style often far ahead of other tailors. We put our name and label
on our product, not simply as an identification, but as an assurance.
When you see that label you may be sure of correct style; of careful,
honest, high-class tailoring; of all-wool fabrics; and not a suspicion of
the mercerized-cotton cheat.

Bettor have our label to rely on: We a small thing to look for, a big thing to find.
