Cheered On Soldiers.

That was war as 1t was known and
lived among the non-combatants In the
southern half OF the country. and the
diminishing few Of the survivors IN
the field who have come to Washington
can tell the story OF how they were
made brave to do their duty by the
splendid devotion Of the women who
stayed at home.
"Just at this time, when this united
country is going to war against the
most ruthless foe the world has ever
known, the lesson of the women OF the
south Is we'll worth consideration. Tne
economists have laid down certain ruies
for the conservation of the food sup
plies of the country. One Of the pre-
scriptions is noted as follows:
81. No meal to exceed three courses.
"'2. One meatless day week.
"'a. Simplicity In dress and enter
tainment'
"And this is one of the war dinners
served recently and advertised az such
in fulfilment of the economy pledge
made by leaders in washington so
ciety':
al. Cream of oyster soup.
"'2. Filet Of beef with vegetables
asparagus, mushrooms and peas.
"'3. Ice cream with strawberries ana
cake
"That does not sound very much like
beginning. The old soldiers who are
here could make suggestions along the
| line of economy that would be OF great
service to those who are sincerely de-
sirous of getting themselves down to 9
war footing. The less the people eat
| at home the. .more there will be for the
men in the field"

Tho part that the women Of tho south
played In the war, and how their deyo-
tton and self-sacrifice can be taken as
IN example by the women Of today,
wao told today by Maj. ]. c. Hemphill,
formerly Of Charleston. s. c.. now
resident OF Washington. After recall
ing simple tales Of heroism. suffering
and patriotism. Of privation and want
Of tender ministration and patient en-
durance. OF ingenious economies ana
deathless devotion, Maj. Hamphill said:
These women were all Americans
and bore unfinchingly mental suner-
ing and physical pain such as no otner
nation of such women has ever known
since the world began, and their ex-
ample of suffering and service might
well be commended to the women OF
tho United States at this time. Iney

which they fashioned garments Ior he the
soldiers in the field, they managed the
farms while the men were at the 1ront'
