UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Hostess House Proves Popular With S.A.C.T. Men and Their Relatives
Programs Will be Given Each Night as Soon as Quarantine is Lifted
Stationery Supply Is Here
Driftwood Will Make Fireplace Cozy—Room Fitted for Opening Cafeteria
The Y. W. C. A. Hostess House is soon to be an integral part of the University of Kansas S. A. T. C., if preparations which are being made by Mrs. Belle Wilhelm, the official hostess, and her corps of assistants, are to count for anything. The Hostess House, on the first floor in the south end of the University Y. M. C. C. a building, is already open to all soldiers and their families from 8 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night, and as soon as the quarantine is lifted, a program will be arranged every night for the entertainment of S. A. T. C. members. Groups of women from the sororities and boarding clubs will be appointed to sing and play and help make life enjoyable for the soldiers.
The Hostess House is already a place that will bring joy to the S. A. T. C. member who has been accustomed to barracks life with no place to go for amusement. Three large library tables, with plenty of Y. M. C. A. stationery for everybody, will make it possible for the soldiers to write all the letters they please. Daily newspapers, magazines and books will make up for the lack of reading matter at the barracks. The pictures, the big arm-chairs, the piano and the particularly inviting fireplace in the corner of the room, all go to make the place a real home for the men. There will be no lack of fuel during the winter months, according to Mrs. Wilmot, as Lieutenant Croxton took his company down the river Friday and brought back enough driftwood in the big army truck to last through the coldest of winters. Part of the supply has been sawed and stored in the basement of the Y. M. C. A. building, and details from the S. A. T. C. will finish the job soon.
Although the Hostess House has already been serving as a retreat for the convalescents and soldiers off duty, Saturday and Sunday were the first really big days, and Mrs. Wilmot estimated that more than 200 persons, including a large number of relatives of the soldiers who had come from all parts of the state were entertained that day.
A cafeteria in charge of Miss Elizabeth Sprague of the University domestic science department will
probably be opened up the latter part of the week in the large room directly above the Hostess House. A kitchen has been completely equipped. The Hostess House, Y. M. C. A. and the cafeteria will work in co-operation and do everything to help the soldiers Mrs. Wilmot will soon have an assistant, to be at the Hostess House during the entire day, and the University W. Y. C. A. board will help Secretary Frank Parker of the Y. M. C. A. has promised to keep the men well supplied with stationery, as he has just received a shipment of 60,000 sheets of paper and 30,000 envelopes, which will be distributed at the barracks and the Hostess House. Mr. Parker said the paper was expensive and was not to be used for anything except letter writing. He has asked the S. A. T. C. members not to be wasteful, but there is plenty for each man if everyone will conserve
Subscribers to the Daily Kansan who have moved to the barracks or otherwise changed their addresses must report the change at once to insure delivery of the paper. Subscribers in the barracks should see that lists containing their names are sent to this office. No one can fail to realize that with such wholesale moving about as has taken place at the University this year, the circulation manager's job is almost an impossible one. But with the right kind of co-operation from subscribers good service can be maintained. In many case where non-receipt of the paper is traceable to the fault of Kansan employees, proper extension of the subscription term will be made or satisfactory adjustment.
Dean Williams to Go From Missouri to Japan
Dean Walter Williams of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri, will leave Columbia Sunday for a Pacific port, from whence he sails for the Orient on a mission for the United States government, which will take him into Russia, China and Japan.
While in Tokio Dean Williams will direct the editorial organization and establishment of the Trans-Pacific International Magazine of Finance and Economics, of which B. W. Fleischer of the Japan Advertiser is the proprietor. The magazine is expected to be of value following the war in promoting acquaintancehips and better business relations between the United States and the other countries bordering on the Pacific Ocean. Dean Williams will return to Columbia in February.
War Time Sweeteners
MERICA has several excellent war time sweeteners that will be used largely during the shortage in the sugar supply.
They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and molasses and may be used in preparing desserts.
When a cup of syrup or honey is used to replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the recipes should be decreased one-fourth. For example, you could use 1/4 cup to one-half of a cup of honey, about one-
half cup of syrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar. One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One tablespoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and one-third tablespoons of corn sugar.
Sugar may be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs, dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals.
Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should be taken the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without sugar. It may be added when sugar is more plentiful.
Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a heavy syrup.
near If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced by another sweetener.
Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) apples, cherries, strawberries and black caps.
When ready to use they may have added the needed sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful fruit juices may be used as jellies or may be used as fruit sauce with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit gelations and frozen desserts.
gel
Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They should be used freely. Desserts where sugar is scarce may be made of gelatins, junkets, custards, puddings and cakes.
Kansas State Teachers To Meet in War Session Early in November
Annual Convention Will Consider Big Problems, F. L. Pinet, Announces
Many Speakers Are Coming
James W. Gerard, Lieutenant Paul Perigold, Dr. Edward Steiner on List
Topeka, Kansas, Nov. 4.-According to F. L. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas State Teachers' Association, war will be the dominant note of the coming meeting of the Kansas State Teachers' Association the last of the month.
Referring to the program which is now on the press, Mr. Pinet said today, "If anybody doubts the militant spirit of the Kansas teachers and their whole-hearted support of the Government in the great world war, it has been clear that the coming convention in which 15,000 teachers will participate.
"For these meetings speakers of national and international reputation have been engaged. The Honorable James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany; Lieutenant Paul Pergord of the French army; Dr. Nellwright Hillis of New York City, who occupies the pulpit formerly filled by Henry Wadler Beecher; Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of the Central Congregational Church, New York City; Dr. Edward A. Steiner, the famous immigration authority of the University Henry Suzuki of the University of Washington, and Dr. Thomas D. Wood, Columbia University, America's foremost health expert, will speak on various phases of the war. The same note is dominant in the department meetings and the round tables.
"The teachers of Kansas are squarely behind President Wilson in his stand for war to the end," said Mr. Pinet. "There is no place for the pacifist in the ranks of the Kansas teachers today, and no quarter for the pre-German at the hands of the men and women in the Kansas schools."

People in the United States have more bread and better bread than people in any other country in the world, in spite of the prevalent complaints about the quality of bread since the substitute regulations have gone into force, according to Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department of chemistry and head of the food laboratory of the state board of public health. Most of the countries now at war have rationed the amount of bread that may be consumed by one person in a day, said Dr. Bailey, while the United States has only regulated the amount of white flour that may be used, and has placed no restrictions on the quantity of bread that may be eaten

The next time you are inclined to comment on the suspiciously dark hue of bread, consider that Germany has imposed a ration of three pounds, thirteen and one-half ounces a week of a coarsely milled dark bread, and that in all continental countries people depend on bread as their chief food, especially when we do. Austria has a sharp flour ration, and rye, potatoes and oats are used in the small quantity of bread which one person may have.
France uses a whole wheat flour. Italy has only a very dark bread. Denmark rations wheat and rye separately, and one may use wheat at a high price or substitutes at a cheaper price. Sweden reduced forty varieties of bread to four. Norway controls the quantity of bread and corn consumed, and Holland also has a system of rationing. In England the
