Our Food Supply and Our Allies

Every one of us must share, whether
we will or not, in the burden of tho
cost Of the war. The common-sense
thing to do is to determine now how
we can help tighten this burden for
ourselves and for others who are al
ready carrying about as much as they
can bear. There are many well-to-do
families in every community Wild are
not Inconvenience by the increased
prices of foodstuffs, but this burden
bears heavily on their poorer neigh
bors. Therefore it is the duty of tho
well-to-do to economic in food and to
forbid all waste of 1t In their house
holds, in order to make II more pIentis
full for others.
This year America must feed itself
and share its food with all its allies,
and the chances are that prices, VILE
soar again. There may not be just
enough to go all round, and some
people win then go hungry. 1t If m
patriotic and unchristian to waste food
now, and every housewife can best
show her patriotism by conserving IL
in every way known to her.

sweaters and Sweater Goats

The sweater coat has become an in
stitution as permanently placed in the
wardrobe of the modern woman as the
shirtwaist and the blouse are. 1t
started it's career as n matter-of-fact
garment devoted to comfort alone, but
has become as much diversified as
blouses are, and style is an important
element that enters into it's makeup
every season. 1t continues to flourish
on the strength of being both comfort
able and smart.
Sweaters this season, shown in silk
and in wool, also in fiber silks in great
variety, are made mostly in twO-color
combinations. Many of them are knit
ted to conform to the figure rather
snugly at the waistline, and equally as
many depend upon a sash or belt, like
the sweater, to give them a little def
milton of the waist. Nearly all of them
have rather ample collars and many
among them some of the finest mod
els-are furnished with pockets.
The slip-on sweater is one of the
sweater successes of this particular
season. Its name signifies that 1t has
nc front opening, but slips on wei the
head, and it is made with and without
a sash and pockets; the silk models
being usually provided with these ex-
ira furnishings. The coat sweater is
shown in the picture with collar and
cuffs in a color contrasting with the
body of the garment. 1t is of silk knit
ted with a heavy thread.
In colors there is a wide and beau.
