WHY
' Millions of men. have been
taken from wheat raising unu
have gone into the trenches.
Fields have been laid waste by
the enemy. Food supply ships
have been sunk by submarines.
Crops in other countries have
been poor. These are some of
the reasons why there is a short
age of wheat and why we are
asked by Mr. Hoover to con
serve in our kitchens and at our
tables.
Four hundred million bush
els of wheat Is a large amount,
but we must supply it. In one
way or another we must get it
together here and send it across
the 'water to those associated
with us in this war. We cannot
do this unless we are willing to
use some other food for a part
of the wheat we would ordinar
ily consume. That Is why we
are urged, as a patriotic duty,
to observe wheatless days strict
ly, and on other days to use on
ly the minimum amount of
wheat foods, wasting absolutely
none. The aid of every individ
ual is needed. Are you saving
your share of that 400,000,000
bushels of wheat?
WASTE IS CRIMINAL
"To waste now is nothing
short o.f criminal." Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo.
The duty of the American
people to economize In consum
ption of food and all other ma
terials as well as save money,
can not be too often or too
sironply urged upon them. The
duty is so imperative, its observ
mice so vital to our country's j
Buccess, that it should be kept;
constantly before them.
The proposition is plain and
understandable. We have les
sened the productive powers of
the country by taking 2,000,000
men away from the productive
forces of the country; instead
of producers of one kind or ano
ther the soldiers are consumers
of the products of our farms fac
torles, and mines, and when the
munitions they expend and will
xpend against the enemy Is
considered they are tremendous
consumers o,f the manufactured
products of the country.
A tremendous amourtf, of
the manufacturing energy of
the country has been withdrawn
from manufacturing tho things
we use in -peace and put to man
ufacturing the things we use
in. war. The total loss to the
country of the productive energy
of our soldiers and sailors and
tbfi diversion of a great portion
of the other productive energy
of the country to war purposes
lessen to a great extent the
amount of material and supplies
produced by tho country.
To this condition of lessened
production and Increased con
sumption of and by our own
men must bo added tho extraor
dinary remand made upon this
country to supply the armies of
our allies and to a great extent
their population with .food and
other material.
We must meet the condition
that confronts us In two ways
by the strictest eccyiomy In con
sumption, for every pound we
refrain from using adds a pound
to be devoted to the uses of our
Army and Navy and the military
forces of our allies; and by
speeding up our production to
the limit. The American peo
ple are going to do all that they
know to be necessary to win
this war to shorten this war.
They have only to realize the
Imperative duty of economy in
saving and they will economize
and save.
HIGH WOOL PRICES
In a recent statement the War
Trade Board declares that no
wool shortage exists, either in
the world's supply or In the
amount on hand in the United
States, notwithstanding the in
creased consumption for mili
tary purposes. The clip In most
countries has steadily increased
since the outbreak of the war.
"The price o.f wool has ad
vanced in the United States by
a precentage greatly in excess
of such advances in other coun
tries," says the statement. "The
prices in the United States has
advanced 200 per cent above
the prewar level. The price in
England Is fixed at 55 per cent
in excess of prewar prices.
"Cloth manufacturers (in the
United States) have been impel
led by fear to carry abnormal
stocks of wool, and to contract
with dealers and Importers for
unusual quantities for far-forward
delivery. Manufacturers
of clothing have been infected
by a like dread, inciting the pur
chase of cloth exceeding in vol
ume their reasonable needs.
"The consumption of wool
during 1918 will be little If any
greater than It was during 1917."

VOICES MUST BE PLEASANT
Hospital Nurses Undergo Course of
Training In Some Institutions to
Cultivate Rtfinad Speech.
"If the success or failure ot a pliyui
clan Is, In some cases as least, deter-
f mined by his tongue, how much more
.Important Is this mutter of speech to
j the nurse, who must he constantly with
tho patient, anJ whose every look and
gesture are watched targets for criti
cism, silent or open," writes Dr. Irving
W. Voorhees In the Nurse. "It Is said
that In some hospitals this question
of ruflnud, pleasing speech has become
a part of the nurse's course of train
ing, and that she Ib demorited for dis
regard of the principles us set forth
by her teachers. Although I have no
personal knowledge of these hospitals,
It Is certainly a consummation devout
ly to be wished that every one who
comes into the sick room should know
how to speak softly and agreeably."
Doctor Voorhees suys European nn
Uons realize the Importance of the
nurse's voice and Insist upon It far
more thun we do. And any woman
who plans to become a hospital nurse
and has not a pleasing voice alrcudy
should start at once to cultivate one.
The sick iip very sensitive to voices;
the blind aru especially affected by
harsh voices, so much so that some
wealthy blind men will not permit a
person whose voice Is not pleasautt.to
come near theiu.
STRENUOUS COUNTING.
A Cans of Fight or Marry That Had
Happy Ending.
Wllbum Kenrlck. a Berkshire Ren
tlemau of 100 years ago, left his prop
erty, which was considerable, to an
only daughter. This young lady had a
mind of iicr own and. finding uono of
her suitors to her liking, simply deter
mined to wait until Che right gentle
mini should come nl..ng.
It so happened that one day she at
tended a wedding at Heading, where
she met a young gentleman named
Itoiijiwiln Child. He was u poor at
torney. With this handsomo young
man the young lady fell violently in
hive, hut still she was cautious. Sue
rfiisdiied with herself for several days,
trying to shake herself free of tbo mid
den passion, hut all In vain.
Then, feeling (hut something must
be done, but unable from confusion of
mind to devise n proper course, she
took tho extraordinary step of sending
the young man a letter demanding sat
isfaction for alleged Injuries. She ap
pointed a time und place for the' hostile
meeting.
Mr. Child was much surprised and
quito at a loss to conceive who the
challenger could bo. By th advlco ot
a frleud he decided to go to tho duel
ttkg plare. Here bo was lutt by tho
young woman, who, muek U Us sur
prise, told htm he would have te AtflU
ker or marry her. II wtturally oh 04
