# The Greatest Crime in Christendom

From the National Archives and Records Administration; Record Group 4: Records of the U.S. Food Administration, 1917 - 1920; Series: World War I Posters, 1917 - 1919; ARC #512530
The Greatest Crime in Christendom
To buy—to cook—to eat more than you need; to waste a single morsel of food that can be used—is a crime.
Ten million have died bravely on the field of battle. They at least had a chance. They gave their all willingly and unselfishly.
Over twenty million have died of starvation—without even a chance to fight. To these death has come only as a relief from torture worse than death—starvation.
It is our job—yours and ours—to save food so that the millions of starving people in Europe may have SOMETHING to eat.
Don't Waste Food
Eat Less Waste Nothing
Live Simply—avoid all food waste.

# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Lady That Died in Child-bed, and Left a Daughter Behind Her

318. UPON A LADY THAT DIED IN CHILD-BED, AND LEFT A DAUGHTER BEHIND HER.
As gilliflowers do but stay To blow, and seed, and so away; So you, sweet lady, sweet as May, The garden's glory, lived a while To lend the world your scent and smile.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Maid That Died the Day She Was Married

271. UPON A MAID THAT DIED THE DAY SHE WAS MARRIED.
That morn which saw me made a bride, The evening witness'd that I died. Those holy lights, wherewith they guide Unto the bed the bashful bride, Serv'd but as tapers for to burn And light my relics to their urn. This epitaph, which here you see, Supplied the epithalamy.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Virgin Kissing a Rose

144. UPON A VIRGIN KISSING A ROSE.
'Twas but a single rose, Till you on it did breathe; But since, methinks, it shows Not so much rose as wreath.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Child That Died

310. UPON A CHILD THAT DIED.
Here she lies, a pretty bud, Lately made of flesh and blood: Who as soon fell fast asleep As her little eyes did peep. Give her strewings, but not stir The earth that lightly covers her.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Painted Gentlewoman

241. UPON A PAINTED GENTLEWOMAN.
Men say y'are fair, and fair ye are, 'tis true; But, hark! we praise the painter now, not you.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Physician

236. UPON A PHYSICIAN.
Thou cam'st to cure me, doctor, of my cold, And caught'st thyself the more by twenty fold: Prithee go home; and for thy credit be First cured thyself, then come and cure me.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Delaying Lady

340. UPON A DELAYING LADY.
Come, come away, Or let me go; Must I here stay Because y'are slow, And will continue so? Troth, lady, no.
I scorn to be A slave to state: And, since I'm free, I will not wait Henceforth at such a rate For needy fate.
If you desire My spark should glow, The peeping fire You must blow, Or I shall quickly grow To frost or snow.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Wife That Died Mad With Jealousy

145. UPON A WIFE THAT DIED MAD WITH JEALOUSY.
In this little vault she lies, Here, with all her jealousies: Quiet yet; but if ye make Any noise they both will wake, And such spirits raise 'twill then Trouble death to lay again.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Gentlewoman With a Sweet Voice

228. UPON A GENTLEWOMAN WITH A SWEET VOICE.
So long you did not sing or touch your lute, We knew 'twas flesh and blood that there sat mute. But when your playing and your voice came in, 'Twas no more you then, but a cherubin.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Hoarse Singer

390. UPON A HOARSE SINGER.
Sing me to death; for till thy voice be clear, 'Twill never please the palate of mine ear.
# The House of the Vampire/XXXI
## XXXI

With the first flush of the morning Ethel appeared at the door of the house on Riverside Drive. She had not heard from Ernest, and had been unable to obtain connection with him at the telephone. Anxiety had hastened her steps. She brushed against Jack, who was also directing his steps to the abode of Reginald Clarke.
At the same time something that resembled Ernest Fielding passed from the house of the Vampire. It was a dull and brutish thing, hideously transformed, without a vestige of mind.
“Mr. Fielding,” cried Ethel, beside herself with fear as she saw him descending.
“Ernest!” Jack gasped, no less startled at the change in his friend's appearance. Ernest's head followed the source of the sound, but no spark of recognition illumined the deadness of his eyes. Without a present and without a past . . . blindly . . . a gibbering idiot . . . he stumbled down the stairs.
# The House of the Wolfings

THE HOUSE OF THE WOLFINGS
A TALE OF THE HOUSE OF THE WOLFINGS AND ALL THE KINDREDS OF THE MARK WRITTEN IN PROSE AND IN VERSE
by William Morris
       Whiles in the early Winter eve
       We pass amid the gathering night
       Some homestead that we had to leave
       Years past; and see its candles bright
       Shine in the room beside the door
       Where we were merry years agone
       But now must never enter more,
       As still the dark road drives us on.
       E'en so the world of men may turn
       At even of some hurried day
       And see the ancient glimmer burn
       Across the waste that hath no way;
       Then with that faint light in its eyes
       A while I bid it linger near
       And nurse in wavering memories
       The bitter-sweet of days that were.

# The Inn of Dreams/"I am Weary, let me Sleep"

"I am Weary, let me Sleep"
I am weary, let me sleep In some great embroidered bed, With soft pillows for my head. I am weary, let me sleep . . . Petals of sweet roses shed
All around a perfumed heap
White as pearls, and ruby red; Curtains closely drawn to keep Wings of darkness o'er me spread . . . I am weary, let me sleep In some great embroidered bed. Let me dream that I am dead,
Nevermore to wake and weep
In the future that I dread . . . For the ways of life are steep . . . I am weary, let me sleep . . .

# The Inn Album/VIII

VIII
The youth is somehow by the lady's side. His right-hand grasps her right-hand once again. Both gaze on the dead body. Hers the word. "And that was good but useless. Had I lived The danger was to dread: but, dying now— Himself would hardly become talkative, Since talk no more means torture. Fools—what fools These wicked men are! Had I borne four years, Four years of weeks and months and days and nights, Inured me to the consciousness of life Coiled round by his life, with the tongue to ply,— But that I bore about me, for prompt use At urgent need, the thing that 'stops the mouth'
And stays the venom? Since such need was now Or never,—how should use not follow need? Bear witness for me, I withdraw from life By virtue of the license—warrant, say, That blackens yet this Album—white again, Thanks still to my one friend who tears the page! Now, let me write the line of supplement, As counselled by my foe there: ' each a line!'"
And she does falteringly write to end.
"I die now through the villain who lies dead, Righteously slain. He would have outraged me, So, my defender slew him. God protect The right! Where wrong lay, I bear witness now. Let man believe me, whose last breath is spent In blessing my defender from my soul!"
And so ends the Inn Album.
 As she dies, Begins outside a voice that sounds like song, And is indeed half song though meant for speech Muttered in time to motion—stir of heart That unsubduably must bubble forth To match the fawn-step as it mounts the stair.
"All's ended and all's over! Verdict found 'Not guilty'—prisoner forthwith set free, Mid cheers the Court pretends to disregard! Now Portia, now for Daniel, late severe, At last appeased, benignant! 'This young man— Hem—has the young man's foibles but no fault. He's virgin soil—a friend must cultivate. I think no plant called "love" grows wild—a friend May introduce, and name the bloom, the fruit!' Here somebody dares wave a handkerchief— She'll want to hide her face with presently! Good-by then! 'Cigno fedel, cigno fedel, Addio!' Now, was ever such mistake— Ever such foolish ugly omen? Pshaw! Wagner, beside! 'Amo te solo, te Solo amai!' That's worth fifty such! But, mum, the grave face at the opened door!"
And so the good gay girl, with eyes and cheeks Diamond and damask,—cheeks so white erewhile Because of a vague fancy, idle fear Chased on reflection!—pausing, taps discreet; And then, to give herself a countenance, Before she comes upon the pair inside, Loud—the oft-quoted, long-laughed-over line— " 'Hail, calm acclivity, salubrious spot!'
Open the door!"
 No: let the curtain fall!

OftheUTILITY ofthe
GARDEN MUSHROOM,
AND
ItsPreferencetotheField Sort.
THE Garden Mushroom, or that produced by the art of horticulture, or process of regular cultivation in gardens, is greatly superior in all respects to the wild chance Mushroom of the meadows and pastures. It is now universally admired as one of the delicacies of the kitchen garden; and is a requisite production of that department; being always in request, and highly acceptable, though seldom obtained in plenty and perfection. This difficulty has been owing to its singular mode of culture being little ​known to the far greater number of practitioners beyond the vicinity of London. Here it is raised by many of the kitchen-gardeners. Their successful method we have long practised, and now propose to explain to the reader.
It may be just observed, that although the Mushroom grows spontaneously in meadows and pasture fields, it is obtained there accidentally only, and at a particular season: but, by garden culture, we procure this plant at any time of the year, whenever it is wanted, and always of superior goodness, richness of flavour; and with a certainty of its being the true salutiferous, or wholesome kind: a matter of the utmost moment, since there are, in the fields, so many of a pernicious quality, bearing so great a similarity to the true sort, that, having been gathered by the unskilful, have proved fatal to thousands.

The Haunted Bookshop continues the story of Roger Mifflin, the book seller in Parnassus on Wheels. It also details an adventure of Miss Titania Chapman and a young advertising man named Aubrey Gilbert. It is not a novel of the supernatural. Rather, the name refers to the ghosts of the past that haunt all libraries and bookstores: "the ghosts of all great literature." Throughout the novel Morley, through the character of Roger Mifflin, makes reference to the knowledge and wisdom that one can gain from literature. Warning: template has been deprecated.

TO THE BOOKSELLERS
Be pleased to know, most worthy, that this little book is dedicated to you in affection and respect.
The faults of the composition are plain to you all. I begin merely in the hope of saying something further of the adventures of ROGER MIFFLIN, whose exploits in "Parnassus on Wheels" some of you have been kind enough to applaud. But then came Miss Titania Chapman, and my young advertising man fell in love with her, and the two of them rather ran away with the tale.
I think I should explain that the passage in Chapter VIII, dealing with the delightful talent of Mr. Sidney Drew, was written before the lamented death of that charming artist. But as it was a sincere tribute, sincerely meant, I have seen no reason for removing it.
Chapters I, II, III, and VI appeared originally in The Bookman, and to the editor of that admirable magazine I owe thanks for his permission to reprint.
Now that Roger is to have ten Parnassuses on ​the road, I am emboldened to think that some of you may encounter them on their travels. And if you do, I hope you will find that these new errants of the Parnassus on Wheels Corporation are living up to the ancient and honourable traditions of our noble profession.
