DAILY FASHION HINTS
LADIES' WAIST.
BY Anabel Worthington.

type Of figure from the very slender to
the very large-No. S304 is as plain and
practical waist as any one could de-
sire. The large pointed collar Ia the most
interesting part Of the whole waist, for it
looks not unlike Puritan 'kerchief. The
waist fastens at the centre front with
three large buttons. There Is q slight
amount of fulness where the fronts are
gathered to the back, which extends over
in shallow yoke effect. Shert sleeves win
be very comfortable, but the long ones
finished with a deep cuff and narrow
turnback are the most favored style this
season.
The waist may be developed in any Of
the pretty figured silks, with the collar and
cuffs Of plain materials.
The waist pattern, No. 1904, Is cut In
sizes SO to AZ inches bust measure. The
SO inch size requires 2x yards Of q inch
goods, or ~ yards Of SO inch, or 19s
yards Of 40 inch, with " yard of 80 inch
contrasting material.
To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to
the office of this publication.

SAYS MEN MUST DO SOMETHING
FOR FLAG BEFORE THEY
WILL HONOR 1T

Frank r. Chase has received let
ter from Senator William Alden
Smith and also note from Senator

sent Senator Smith
regarding the present war problems.

half.
What you say about selective mill
tary service is fully appreciated.
/ feel sure the Government will
take this course. / shall support it.
With kind regards, am,

MISSIONARY FROM
TURKEY GAVE FINE TALK

Mrs. Robert Stapleton, who has
spent eighteen years in medical work
and as a missionary in Turkey, gave
a fine address, both morning and
evening, at the Congregational
church last Sunday. She also gave
an interesting talk to the Sunday
school and later spoke to the girls
of Mrs. Blair's Sunday school class.
1t was indeed rare treat to hear her.
She gave an interesting account of
the quaint old city of Erzerum with
it's narrow streets and low-roofed
houses, and peculiar costumes in
dress and cooking.
Mrs. Stapleton and husband had
charge of the American mission
house there and told how eager many
of the native boys and girls were to
receive instruction and learn the
way to better life.
After the breaking out of the war
they passed through many trying
experiences and gave an account of
the horrors of the strife and blood
shed which came directly under their
observation. The mission house was
used for military purposes for hos
pital and became so unsanitary that
typhus fever ragged. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stapleton and family were taken with
the disease, but fortunately recovered
and later under advice of the Cover
nor. they concluded to leave for
America. Mr.. Stapleton, however, re-
turned about year ago and is again
in charge of the mission buildings.
Mrs. Stapleton intends returning
as soon as conditions there get more
settled. She believes that great good
will yet result from the terrible
struggle in the world at large.
Mrs. Stapleton was the guest of
her cousin, Mrs. c. A. Wheeler, over
Sunday.

MUST EAT LESS
AND GROW MORE

Herbert c. Hoover, the great
American chairman of the American
Commission for Relief in Belgium,
did his work so well that the people
say he is more efficient than the Ger
mans themselves. President Wilson
has called him home to be head of the
American Food Board. He is still in
London, but he sends a call from there
to the American people to get ready
for starvation. This call every patri-
otto American should hear+eater,
farmer and college student alike. The
man who plants another acre of corn
this spring, or the student who helps
him cultivate it, is surely a patriot
meeting our greatest need.
IL feel it my duty to emphasize"
Mr.. Hoover says, "that the food sit
uation is one of the utmost gravity,
which, unless it is solved, may posi-
bly, result in the collapse of every
thing we hold dear in civilization.
"The stock of food today available
in the allied world is simply not suf-
ficient to last till September if Ameri-
ca continues its present rate Of con-
sumption.
1.-THE only hope of providing the de-
ficiency is by the elimination of waste
and actual and rigorous self-sacrifice
on the part of the American people.
ITO carry the Allies over until the
next harvest we must reduce our
wheat consumption 30 per cent. This
means that every man, woman and
child must forego at least one loaf of
bread per week and eat something

"More than 20 per cent of Ameri-
homes already are places of thrift,
economy and clean plate. In the

everywhere it will grow, or next year
at this time the food problem will be
absolutely unsolvable and the world
facing absolute starvation"
