Woman 10 Ruler Over All.

Why does woman chafe under re-
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has chung to since
the beginning Of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears Of sorrow from the face Of
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame: clinging to its motherly
folds, tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from It
youth learned to reverence and re-
spect womanhood Can man think of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow
,er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain In peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears Of regret over his depar-
ture. he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find it in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one Of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished

BERLIN trla London), March 10
In line with tho efforts that are being
made universally to conserve Germauy's
food supply. DR.. +. Wohltmann, dircc-
tor OF the agricultural institute OF the
University of Halle. has issued n
pamphlet entitled Twenty Rules for
the German Housewife" He prcfaces
his brochure with the declaration that
she must help TO win the war" The
rules include the following:
]. The consumption of white bread
and cakes must il possible be aban-
doned entirely, or cut down by one
quarter.
.. Rye and potato bread must sup
plant white bread and not one crurnb
must be wasted.
3. Hulled oats must be employed more
than ever for the nourishment OF the
children.
4. In place of the decreasing supply
of lentils. peas and beans. we must
utilize potato and meat soups.
5. Potatoes must become our basic
food and sunplant the failing grain
supply. Adults must increase their
potato consumption by 400 grams n
day, whether In bread. soup or cooked
potatoes. 1t Is the duty Of the house
wife to prepare potatoes I'm as great a
variety of ways as possible so they
shall continue to DO palatablc, and to
cook them without peeling to avoid
waste.
C. The appetite for meat must not
be overeNercised 1t has been too
greatly cultivated heretofore. Only
those who have heavy mental and ply
steal work TO perform have any right
to eat meat daily. One should favor
pork and mutton. and for the time be
ing spare beef and veal.
{. Oar use of game and fish should
be restricted in order to replace the
diminishing supply Of these foods.
&. EGGS must be carefully conserved,
and. with their restricted use in cake,
be employed In other foods and gravics.
Q. Butter, cheese and cream must be
used sparfngly. Bread should be spread
thinly with butter.
10. NIllk is available in suflcicncy
and should he given to the children par
ticularly.
II. The taste for sugar should be
increased wherever possible in drinks,
soups. marmalade and pastry. 1t may
also be used In water and served I'm
place OF beer The average consump-
ton of twenty Kilograms a year should
be Increased to at least forty five kilo-
grams.
IL. AS long as Southern fruits. lem
ons, oranges and almonds, as we'll ms
nuts. etc, nre coming In, their plentiful
use Ia TO be recommended. even If they
become expensive to suDplant the homo
larder. With oranges at their present
low price. they should be mado into
strongly sugared mnrmalade.
IL. The plentiful fruit harvest this
year should be utilized for fruit sauces
marmalade and sirupR.
IA. Vegetables. especially asparagus
should be used In quantity during the
coming spring and summer.
Is. Coffee, tea and cocoa arc still
available in suff1ciency and at moder-

Why the Jitncy Thrlyes

THERE is sound sense, perhaps. in the con-
tcntion that there should be some form
of efficient public regulation Of that new and
8prightly competitor of the street railway
company, the 1itney bus, but that form of
control which under the guse OF regulation.
seeks really to put the jitncy out of business
of course, is absurd.

The fact is. the jtney has existence and
popularity only because OF the defects of the
modern system of urban and suburban trans
portation. not only in Richmond. but in every
considerable city Of this country So far as

only business men who frankly declare the
difficulties of their vocation to be insupcrable
They are accustomed to say that that
regularity Of their customers which suggests
leaving home in the morning and returning
home III the evening, in each case within q
couple OF hours, makes overcrOwding inevi-
