MEMDER OF THE ASSOCIATED PREAS ee ek nd VOLUME 59... WHERE, ALSO, WE ARE STRONG. PRIVATION frowns upon the country from Mr. Hoover's food programme for the coming year. On the contrary the Food Administrator's statement is extraordinarily reassuring. Not that conscientious care and eaving will not be necessary if we are to ship to the Nation’s armies and the Allies the 5,730,000 tons of foodstuffs that will be required over and above the quantity shipped last year. Loyal Americans will go on cutting down waste at their tables and in their kitchens. But they will do so in the cheering, confidence-inspiring know]- edge that there remain in this country vast reserves of saving power not yet touched which can still be drawn upon if needed. Despite the enormous demands made upon them, the food re- sources of the United States are not yet taxed to a point which makes nevossary anything like the rationing system to which the European Allies have had to accustom themseives. “Our simple formula for this year,” says Mr. Ifoover, “is further to reduce consumption and waste of food. We have so arranged the international food programme that except for a moderate substi- tution of other cereals in bread it will not, we hope, be necessary to substitute one foodstuff for another, nor to resort to wheatless and meatless da: What we need is reduction directly of consumption of ell foodstuffs, laying especial emphasis on the siaples. ‘The Allies are in need of all the surplus on the great staples that we can provide.” “This is not rationing—a thing we will never have, if our people eupport us as in the past. We are simply making an appeal to the homes and public eating places of America to work out for themselves the means and manner of saving.” There is not the slightest doubt that the loyal readiness of the American public to follow the suggestions and orders of the Food Administration during the past year has done more than all-else to put the country in this strong food position for what every one hopes may prove the last year of the war. What American will refuse—particulatly the American whose income permits more food in his home than the bare needs of health and strength require—to carry through the food-saving programme for the next twelve months with double interest and zeal ? Upward of 1,750,000 American soldiers now overseas; a revised plan that calls for an American army of 4,000,000 men in France by July 1, 1919—and behind that army a Nation of 100,000,000 people not yet threatened with even the first pinch of diminished rations! What have the war-drained Central Powers to set against such a force? a THE NEW JERSEY SENATORSHIP. to select party candidates for election to the United States| Maurice Ketten A AAS By Helen Rowland Coyrright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World), A Perfectly Trained Husband, wh» shall find one?

That's plain to be seen,” remarked Mr. Jarr. “But it is very strange how people ‘orget you when they get more pros- perous than you are,” Mrs, Jarr went cn, “But if you get more prosperous than some other people, THEY never forget you. Only this very day”— “Yet Clara Mudridge-Smith doesn't forget us,” interrupted Mr, Jarr, ere his good lady would bewail visitation from old acquaintance that should be forgot. She writes to you.” “She writes tome because she wants me to do her a favor,” said Mrs. Ja quickly. “She wants me to see about the dresses that were, to be finished before she left for Washington, Very down at the capital flirting with army and navy officers and writing to me to go out and fight her dressmaker for her." rhen you won't do it? asked Mr. Jarr, “It all depends,” was the reply. “I'l! call up the dressmaker on the phone, and if she's cross I'll know Clara Mudridge-Smith didn’t pay her bill, and I won't go near, But if every- thing is all right I'l go see her. I may get Clara's dressmaker to make a dress for me at a reasonable rate, if I do that, Gertrude, get me the scissors!" Gortrude, the light-running domes- tic, couldn't find the scissors, so Mrs. Jarr said it didn’t matter, and used the ever-ready hairpin again, “I'm cutting but this plieture of the hat the Duchess wears in the picture of distinguished people on the war re- view grand stand,” said Mrs, Jarr, as she mutilated the magazine she had brovcht to the front room with her, t will drive Clara wild when 1 send it to her; she hasn't one like it; and she isn't getting Per picture in the papers ivr Lue wag work she's doimy, Uke the Duchess [each end until it will ®t between the | sides.
