Canadians who are willing to follow the advice of the Food
Controller in order to help to save urgently-needed wheat flour,
beef and bacon for the soldiers, will find a considerable number of
wholesome substitutes.

To save wheat flour, barley may be used for soup and harley
flour for thickening; oatmeal for cereal and oat muffins. Potatoes
may be used in a variety of appetizing dishes, and when they are
served bread may sometimes be omitted from themeal. At present
the price of cornmeal is high, but the new crop inthe United
States is very large and will be coming on the market soon. The
question of price has to be carefully considered by the reat major ity
of people, but those who can afford to do so should substitute in

Dominion.

part other cereals for wheat, even if the price of the substitutes

should be higher,

For meat, fish is a peculiarly suitable substitute, because of the
yariety available and the abundant sources of supply in the

Beans have nearly the same food values as meat,

By a careful selection of other foods, the consumption of meat
may he very considerably reduced, especially by persons who are
not engaged in heavy manual work.

And remember, the primary reason for urging saving of wheat
flour, beef and bacon is not economy in cost, but that-the soldiers
may be supplied with the food which they need,

Mining Men Organize

_ An organization to be known |:
as the Mine Owners’ and Opera: |.

tors! ’ Protective Association wag

formally launched at a- meeting!

held ‘in. Nelson,’ as a‘ result of. a
‘suggestion which was made: be:

“fore: the: Soon vert ign ‘of’ ‘mit erg, hi

when the need of an. exelusive
society to protect’and promote in
the interests of the owners and
operators in the Kootenay district
was stated by several of those in
attendance.’ Although a commit-
tee of seven was appuinted at the
convention: to draw up a brief
outline of the objects of the new
association and the signatures of
district operators and owners
were accepted on the document
announcing the existence of the
society, nothing definite in the
way of the purpose of the body
was announced until a quorum of
those who had signified their
intention of joining the new
movement met,

It was pointed out that i in pre-
vious cases where the intévests
of the mine owners had been the
issue the result of meetings. and
discussions had not been as effer-
tive as was possible, due to the
lack of co-operation among the
owners,

Following up the ‘purpose of
organization’ to promote the in-
terests of the owners to the. lar-
gest possible scope, it was.decided
that only officers and accredited
representatives of mining syndi-|
cates and mining corporations,
including ‘mine managers, and
claim owners who have not as

yet developed their properties to];

the point of shipping, exclusive
of those interested in the Consol-
idated, the Canadian Pacific and

other ore- treating. companies,

should associate and form a, dis-
tinct and permanent organization
of mining men. - The resolution,

including an invitation .to ‘all |

eligible mine owtiers and ‘opera-
tara, was ‘unanimously ‘Carried,
