NATIONS WOMEN
URGED TO THRIFT
Can Make Apron Uniform of
National Significance, Says
Secretary Houston.
SAVE FOOD, HE URGES

No woman should feel that because
she does not wear nurses uniform
she is absolved from patriotic service
but should do her bit" by conserv
ing food and preventing waste in the
household. Secretary Houston of the
Department of Agriculture declares.
In an appeal to the women of the
United States the Secretary points out
that the waste of even a single ounce
of food day in each household would
total more than 100000 pounds of
material wasted every day lin the
homes of the nation.

Text of the Appeal.


material wasted every day lin the
homes of the nation.
Text of the Appeal.
The appeal reads as follows:
Every woman can render important
service to the nation in its present
emergency. She need not leave her
home or abandon her home duties to
help the armed forces. She can help
to feed and clothe our armies and help
TO supply food to those beyond the
seas by practicing effective thrift in
her own household.
Every ounce of food the housewife
saves from being wasted in her home
all food which she or her children pro-
duce in the garden and can or preserve
every garment which care and skill
full repair make il unnecessary TO re-
place-all lessen that households
draft on the already insufficient world
supplies.
Must Plan Economically.
ITO save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and properly
balanced meals, which. while nourisn-
ing each member of the family prop
erly, do not encourage overeating or
offer excessive and wasteful variety. 1t
is her duty to use all effective methods
to protect food from spoilage by heat,
dirt, mice or insects. She must acquire
the culinary ability to utilize every bit
of edible food that comes into her
home. She must learn to use such foods
as vegetables, beans, peas and milk
products as partial substitutes for
meat She must make il her business
to see that nothing nutritious is thrown
away or allowed to be wasted.
Waste in any individual household
IN hn nGt
only single ounce of edible food. on
the average, is allowed to spoil or be
thrown away in each of our 100000
homes, over 100000 pounds of ma
takes the fruit of many acres and the
work of many people to raise. prepare
and distribute 464.000,000 pounds of
food year. Every ounce OF 1000
waste the labor of an army of busy
citizens.
Should Conserve Clothes.
Clothing is largely an agricultural
product and represents the results of
labor on the sheep ranges, in cotton
fields and in mills and factories. When
ever a useful garment is needlessly
discarded material needed to keep some
one warm or dry may be consumed
merely to crafty passing fancy.
Women would do well to look upon
clothing at this time more particularly
from the utilitarian point of view.
Leather, too. is scarce, and the proper
shoeing of armies calls for great sup
plies of this material. There are only
so many pairs of shoes in each hide.
and there is a shortage of animals for
leather as well as for meat. Anything
that can be done to encourage adults or
children to take care of their shoes
and make them last longer means that
so much more leather is made available
for other purposes.
Employed women, especially those
engaged in the manufacture of food or
clothing also directly serve their coun-
try and should put into their tasks the
enthusiasm and energy the Importance
of their product warrants.

REED BONE DRYLAW
MAY Be TESTED HERE
Factions Prepare for Legal Battle;
Districts Status Doubtful.

Another legal fight between the
lovers of the rye and the bone-dry
forces is brewing.
A battle as to the bounds OF the
Reed amendment will probably soon
come up in the District courts The
bone of contention will be the word
ing of the Reed amendment. which
omits specific mention of the Dis
trict of Columbia. in prohibiting i'm
portation OF liquor into dry States
and Territories
If the dry forces win their fight
in the courts, Congress will not need
TO make special legislation for the
District.
Dry leaders in the Congress will
bring up the subject this session
IL the courts rule that the amend.
ment's wording does not include the
District.
Legal authorities think that the
matter will be decided in opposition
to the bone-dry faction. This being
the case. and since the District cam
not then be listed as a Territory. to
have a bone-dry District a special
law must be enacted.
