The first afternoon / was in Paris I wan
dered into the open doors of the Church OF st.
Thomas d'Acquin. The place seemed MADE
holy by glory of afternoon sun, just before
its setting.
II was the only time heard women sobbing
aloud in Paris. But it was natural to weep
there in the afternoon among just few
widows and mothers when there was no SER
vice and all was silence and compassion
The old priest with the suffering face car
rving his prie Dieu about with him, stopped
near each one to pray,-yet not so near that
b;s presence was always noticed. Rank ana

was suffering SOUL -.
In the evening they would sing hymn, but
m this glory Of the setting sun they wept or
lpe,t silent in what seemed to be the presence
of God.

did. Doubtless it had come to seem natural

without being told that the Hoover
Food Drive is not for her.
An ounce of bread is but SYMBOL
a sample. What is true of it is true or
all that we handle in our daily business
of feeding and clothing ourselves. In
the reconstruction of business which
has been forced on England and France
it has come to be an accepted maxim
that nothing is too small to consider.
Sir Richard Burbidge, the head of
one of the greatest department stores
in the world, Harrod's, of London, was
one of the first to catch the point. When
the war broke out he at once took his
great shop in hand and put it on war
basis.
Sir Richard did not consider string
and paper too small matters for his at
tention, and they were not small mat
ters in that great shop, for Harrod's
daily use of string and paper amounts
to the tidy sum of $3.50. Under war
conditions this sum speedily doubled
String and paper then became mat
tiers of investigation. 1t was found
that there was an average waste Of 3
per cent of paper per parcel, as well as
8 per cent waste of string. Five tons
of paper were collected every day by
the sweepers and sold as waste, and no.
body knows how many yards OF string.
This waste was declared unpatriotlc.
Employees, customers, management
combined to cut it out. The success has
been such in Harrod's that they have
been able to release 5000 men and to
keep their business going on basis OF
profit.
This is the "ounce of bread" and what
it means.
The problem of making each particu-
lar community, so far as possible, SELL
supporting-that is, of persuading 1t
to raise and do for itself-is another
ounce of bread.
How few of us realize that we eat
annually about SIC worth of food trans
portation. We are eating transporta-
ton largely when we put out-of-season
fruits and vegetables on the table
canteloupes from California, strawber-
ries from the Carolinas-we eat trans
portation when we fail to do our own
canning and raise our own apples and
potatoes.
One of the problems Of our great food

By IDA M. TARBELL

10y is only when one at
\ tempts a very big and
difficult thing that he
~ comes to realize the i'm
RS2 portance of the very
E&AI small thing. Let enough
Of the small things fail and the big
thing is doomed. Let even one small
thing fail and the big thing is delayed.
Apply this to FOOD and the war and
YOU have the driving principle behind
the call that has come to the women of
this country to put the great food de-
partment which they control on the
strctest thrift basis
In a nutshell, this is the question:
We must feed the Allied world. When
We come to analyze the task we find
that il comes down to what we do with
the ounce of bread.
We may have such harveStS as never
were; we may cut transportation rates
to cost; we may jail the Spectator and
hang the hoarder, but if the ounce is
carelessly used at the eno of the route
the food drive fails. We do not go over
the top.
The last step in great movements IS
up to the individual -,hi5 understanding
Of his part in the undertaking. Let
your individual Tommy or your
"Poilu" and, soon, our "Sammie," fail
when the order is given, and by just so
much the morale, the effect of the whole,
fails.
1t is what we all do together that
counts finally. Wheat, meat, grain and
sugar are raised for the one purpose

HERE were several weeks last

of putting them into the hands of US
the hundred million.
We can use what comes to us wisely
or squander it at will. We have squan-
dered it as people, abominably, in the
past.
Now we are asked to consider every
ounce. What does it amount to-this
ounce?
Out in Kansas is one of the best man
aged penal institutions in this country.
It has a steward whose ambition has
been to feed his "boys," as he calls
them, better than ever was done in such
a place before.
But this steward has been feeling the
pinch of war. His appropriation could
not be stretched, in the last two years
particularly, to do what it had been do
ing.
The steward saw his table was falling
off. He took to watching closely the
use of food, to analyzing the plate scrap
ings, the garbage pail; what he found
was that in the matter of bread alone
his clientele were wasting on an aver
age an ounce of bread day.
How? How do we all waste bread!
We cut it in the kitchen, instead of on
the table. We eat the crust or the CEN
tire according to our whim. We crumble
il idly-we muss hopelessly the bits we
leave.
This steward figured that the daily
wastage by his family came to about
500 month. He put it up to them in
this way:
Last week you all enjoyed fish din
ner-you wished we might have it Of
tener. The cost of that dinner was
S65-the value of the bread that
through your careless habits you waste
every month. Are you willing to save
that bread and make sure of your fish
dinner?'
In this illustration we have the ker-
mel of Mr. Hoover's appeal to the women
of this country-his appeal to look after
the ounce of bread.
'In no other field" says Mr.. Hoover,
edo small things, when multiplied by
our hundred million people, count for so
much as in food. A single pound OF
bread saved weekly by each person will
increase our export surplus Of wheat
100000 bushels, and an average
saving of two cents on each meal every
dav for each person will save to the ma
