We should bate to think that these
things were done through disloyalty.
We rather believe, in fact we are
confident, that they are the result of
thoughtlessness Surely there is no
person in ibis community who would
not deny himself or het self the one
commodity for the great cause, when
thousands upon thousands of the
best young men of the country are
offering their lives, if need be, for
that same cause
If there are such
persons it is time tbey were found

excuse for being otherwise
Dut
these exceptions must be eliminated
and the community made 100 per
cent loyal.
No matter how much white flour
a family has on hand, nor when it
was purchaseed, there is no excise
fur using it. The food Adminis
tration has requested that famille»
return full sacks to their grocers, so
that it can be shipped to France
while the ships are available. Every
loyal household will reply to this
request. Many have aready done so.
At any rate. WHITE BREAD MUST
GO.
ABOUT THE RECALL

cause of America for the
period of the war........... ..
WE HAVE FOOD SLACKERS.
One would hardly believe it, but
there are Women food slackers in
this community. Some still call for
white bread at the bakery and scold
the baker because he la patriotic and
lias volunteered not to bake unythiug
but war bread; other» complain to
tbe grocer» that they "can't eat that
stuff " referring to substitutes Still
others bake white bread in their
homos. Why, it is reported that not
long ago white bread sandwiches
were donated to a Red Cross lunch
eon, and in another instance white
bread was offered at a food sale.
In the eyes of those who are
bending every effort to assist the
Government in conserving tiie wheat
for the soldiers In France, such
things are deplorable. We do not
wish to criticize those in charge of
tii«s Red Cross affairs for using tiie
sandwiches, nor the ladies who con
ducted the food sale for selling tiie
bread after it was baked, but those
who furnished the while bread
should be criticized and It would
serve them right If their donations

By Mrs Robt. J. Burdette.
The firing line is now in your kit
chen.
Knock out the breadline at your
table.
It has been said that the Revolu
tionary War was won by men fed on
hasty pudding, in other words, corn
meal mush. Let it be written in his
tory that tbe winning of the present
war was made possible by the United
States eating potatoes.
Tbe manner of eating, tbe time of
eating and even the kind of foodstuffs
eaten are largely a matter of habit.
We do not desire to break ourselves
entirely of tbe habit of eating or life
would not prove worth living, but it
can be made to prove better worth
living if we change some of the habits.
Suppose we cure ourselves of the
hand-eating habit and see if we do
not consume less bread. If you were
to put your bread and butter On your
plate and eat it with a knife and fork
it would reduce the amount of bread
eaten at once. In some of the Oriental
countries men carry strings of bright
red wooden beads that are known as
"Conversation beads." and they seem
unable to talk unlosa they have them
in their hands to play with and pass
from one hand to the other. We seem
to need something in our hands at
table or we feel tbe meal is incomplete
and that something is usually bread
Forget this habit and save wheat. If
you must continue the band eating
habit, hold a hot potato.
Although defeated in the primary
election and automatically vacating

on the first of the year, the mass
