The New Program.
These are some of the things the

Conserve everything in the ex-

Study carefully conditions as

Take the people of Omaha into

Everything that brain and sweat

HOUSTON APPESLS
TO THE WOMEN
TO AVOID WASTE
Agriculture Department Chief
Tells Them How to Aid the
Country During War
by Saving.
PROMPTED BY INQUIRIES
Secretary Says They Can Do
Their Bit by Economy in
the Household.
PROMPTED BY INQUIRIES
NEED NOT LEAVE HOMES

Washington, May 6.-In an appeal
'to the women of the United States"
Secretary Houston declares that they
can do their bit most effectually in
the national emergency by practicing
effective thrift in their households.
The appeal was prompted by ques-
tions as to the service women can
render the nation in producing and
conserving agricultural products.
Every woman can render impor-
tant service to the nation in its pres
ent emergency" says the appeal. She
need not leave her home or abandon
her home duties to help the armed
forces. She can help to feed and
clothe our armies and help to supply
food to those beyond the seas by
practicing effective thrift i'll her own
household.
How to Save Food.
Every ounce of fooG the house
wife saves from being wasted in her
home-all food which she or her chill
dren produce in the garden and can
or preserve-every garment which
care and skillful repair make it
unnecessary to replace-all lessen
that which households draft on the
already insufficient world supplies.
"To save food the hou1ehold must
learn to plan economical and proper
ly balanced meals which, while nour-
ishing each member of the family
properly, do not encourage over-eat-
ing or offer excessive and wasteful
variety. e
ut is her duty to use all effective
methods to protect food from spoil
age by heat, dirt, mice or insects. She
must acquire the culinary ability to
utilize every bit of edible food that
comes into her home.
"She must learn to use such foods
as vegetables, beans, peas and milk
products as partial substitutes for
meat. She must make it her business
to see that nothing nutritious is
thrown away or wasted.
Must Save Every Ounce.
"Waste in any individual household
may seem insignificant, but if only
single ounce of edible food, on the
average, is allowed to spoil or be
thrown away in each of our 20,00O000
homes, over 100000 pounds of ma
terial would be wasted each day.
st takes the fruit of many acres
and the work of many people to raise,
prepare and distribute 464,000,000
pounds of food year. Every ounce
of food thrown away, therefore, tends
also to waste the labor of an army
of busy citizens.
Clothing is largely an agricultural
product and represents the results OF
labor on the sheep ranges, in cotton
fields and in mills and factories.
Whenever a useful garment is need
lessly discarded, material needed to
keep some one warm or dry may be
consumed merely to crafty passing
fancy. Women would do well to look
upon clothing at this time particular
ly from the utilitarian point of view"

French Fire Destroys Position.

Berlin (Via London), May 6.--(Brit-
ish Admiralty by Wireless Press. y
A tremendous thrust by the French
on front of nearly twenty-five miles
in an effort to break through the
German line on the Ailette- -Craonne
front yesterday proved entirely futile,
army headquarters announced today.
The French fire completely de-
stroyed the German positions on the
Winterburg hil, northeast of Craonne,
and this height with the village of
Chevreaux remained in French pos
session.
On the Chemin-Des-D Danes the
Germans now occupy the northern
slope Of the ridge, east Of Rogers
farm, near the western end of the
Chemin-Des-Dames.
French attacks near La Melville
and southeast of Meuroy (Cham-
pagne), were repulsed. The Germans
have taken several hundred prisoners,
twenty machine guns and fifty quick
firing guns.
Reports British Attacks Repulsed.
British attacks in strong force at
points between Laon and Queant were
repulsed, as was British thrust on
a front of nearly two miles in the
Gounelleiu region.
A later official communication says:
After their sanguinary defeat yes
tcrday on the Aisne, the French have
not repeated their attack. Only at the
Winterburg, west of Craonne, is
fresh fighting in progress.
Contrary to the report of today
Chevreaux was not taken BY the
French, but is still in our hands"
