An Appeal to American People
From Across the Atlantic.

ing is taken:
Il have been endeavoring to form
some sort of notion of the worlds
supplies of food both this season

clusion that if the American people
will continue to help the world get
through this time of great stress
and strain by (one) growing as much
food as possible and (two) them
selves consuming no more than alb
solutely essential, the world will
weather through, although the
margin of safety will be very slen-
der. Would it he possible for the
ladies of America to start an econo-
my campaign for the benefit Of the
women and children, not of Belgium
only but practically of the whole
world, for it is evident that many

food in the coming twelve or elgh-
teen months in consequence of it's
dearness and scarcity unless those
women who can afford TO pay high
prices voluntarily deny themselves
and share the food which Provi-
dence provides with their poorer
sisters? If they do this, then the
heart of the world will beat with
that Mother-love viii is all pow
erful for good and hich will pre-
vent the recurrence of such disas-
ter as that now threatening the hu-
man race.

The heart of America is also
great"
