1t is said now that the manager of

ing on the cakes look like a chance
to make a saving on that commodity.
Mrs. Lee Monroe. who is much in
terested in the comfort of the soldiers
in the camp. hearing of the proposed
change in the. method of making the
cakes. suggests that perhaps the icing
can be left for Che soldiers cakes, if
the women at home will. agree to
make their cakes without frosting.
Il should be sorry to see the SOL
diers have to give up the frosted cakes
that they enjoy so much, and if we,
who forego SO few comforts in COM
pariSon to the men in the camps, will
give up the practice of trimming our
cakes, perhaps there will be sugar
enough that the soldiers may have
their cakes frosted. I would like to
suggest to the members of the Coed
Government club that they all pledge
themselves to do without icing on the
cakes they make, and try to get as
many other women as possible to do
the same. 1t is possible that the plan
will take hold of the w, men of Kan
sas, so that enough sugar can be
spared to allow this small luxury for
the men who are off to fight our
battle

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has a daughter at one of the
army posts in the south, one of the
soldier brides who are probably des-
tined to many hardships and heart
aches before the troubles of the coun-
try are settled. This W man has set
tied down to endless worry about her
daughter. She wonders if she is freez-
ing to death or if she gets enough to
eat, of if the climate will give her
malaria, and all the hundreds of
things that might happen. Last night
at the dread hour of midnight the
doorbell of the family mansion got
terrific jangling that woke up every
one in the house. simultaneously
everyone under the roof tree rolled
out of bed at once. There was an
audible scrambling for dressing gowns
and bedroom slippers, and then the
shuffling of slippered feet over various
floors of the house. A rush was
made on the front door to receive the
telegram they all felt sure was await
ing them to say that daughter was i'll
or some of the young men relatives
in the army wounded or dead or sick.
The door swung open, and a mes
senger boy smiling1y presented a box
to the family. Within was mass of
cut flowers that had been gathered

surfing message of blossoms was all
that saved the family from heart fail
