Buys in Large Quantities.

I am submitting herewith my answer
to one question asked for the "sug-
gestions" contest in The Star-"How do
you economize in buying and preparing
that food?"
1 prefer to buy in rather large guam
titles and keep my pantry well stocked.
Each week I replenish my stock of one
or two articles. as flour, sugar, canned
ready in my pantry my allowance GOV,
ers this larger bill, as well as the food
which must be bought as it is used.
This method of buying saves money
vantage of special sales; for instance.
when certain stores offered canned peas
at reduction of 3h and 4 cents a can
I bought dozen and half cans, ana
still have some on hand. Second. by
purchasing in large quantities l can
get better rates. If the amount Is large
enough the article can be bought at
the wholesale market
Last fall I bought large baskets OF
apples at the wholesale market, and
the apples kept in the cellar until used.
Peaches, pears. grapes and cherries
were bought in the same way. and what
we did not eat fresh were canned for
winter use.
Cooperative buying by few fami-
lies in a neighborhood is another way
to avoid the profits of another middle
man. Third, in these days of rapidly
rising prices it pays to buy ahead, for
we are liVlHB now, III PdIl' VII Aoou
which cost US the prices Of a few
weeks ago.
This method of buying does require
little capital, but, once started, the
running expenses are covered by my
usual allowance. Money can hardly be
invested anywhere to better advantage.
Consider saving of cents on can
of tomatoes. Perhaps a month ago 1t
cost Is cents, now 10 cents. Do you
realize that a saving of cents on is
cents is at the rate Of II 1-9 per cent on
money invested for only one month?
This method of buying also saves
me time and thought. It is not neces-
sary to think a half dozen times about
days it Is not necessary to go to the
store at all.
The preparation of food is done al
most entirely in the home. In this
way we get food of better quality and
flavor and at the same time save ex-
pense Frequently I save time and
fuel by cooking enough of one article
of food for more than one meal For
the second meal 1t Is used In an en-
tirely new dish. For instance, I make
large chocolate pudding and use part
of it for filing for a chocolate pie for
the next day.
7 usually cook meat for more than
one meal at a time. The most econom-
der clod. I bought piece weighing
three in the family. and T used this for
five dinners. as follows. a delicious
roast, cold roast beef sliced thin, beef
loaf twice and n souffle. One trip to
market for five days. q.

Statisticians claim that the pee
capita income Of Americans is
$384.00. Not a big lot could be
saved on that salary. Then when
we realize that the income of some
few men runs into millions Of dol
lars, we wonder how the thou
sands whose incomes are swal-
lowed up in these millions get on,
anyhow. For every income of one
million dollars, 1904 people have
nothing at all. For every million
dollars held by one man or firm,
416 people must have absolutely
not one cents worth of values.
That solves the money problem 81
far as we are concerned. Not be.
ing the millionaire, we are just
outside the 416. but too near the
next millionaire to get farther
away from the first. So their in.

GERMANY TAKES ACTION
AGAINST THE SOCIALISTS.

London. Dec. 27.-More than
800 members of the German mi
nority Socialist party were ar
rested on Christmas Eve by the
German military authorities, ac-
cording to a Zurich dispatch Civ
EN- out today by the Wireless
Press.
The dispatch reads;
Following the arrests Of mi
nority Socialists at Cologne and
Karlsruhe recently, the German
military authorities made large
number of arrests on Christmas
Eve i'll Munich. Frankfort, Leip-
sic, Haggdeburg,. Dusseldorf,
Darmstadt, Nuremburg. bort
mund, Cassel, Mannheim, Ma
yence, Coburg, Dulsburg and
Gotha.
More than 300 minority So
cialists and local leaders in the
towns mentioned were arrested
No advices regarding the prev
ious arrests of minority Socialists
in Cologne and Karlscruhs bad
been received. The German mi
nority Socialists comprise strong
faction in the party which re-
fused to follow the lead of Philip
Soheidemann and others in their
virtually unqualified support Of
the government.
Their leaders in the Reichstag.
such as Hugo Haase, long have
been persistent critics of the gov
ernment, denouncing the program
of unrestricted submarine war,
fare, various phases of Germany s
diplomatic policy and the contia-
uation of the war for imperialls-
tic aims. Recent advices through
Washington have indicated pro
nounced growth in the popular
spirit Of the minority Socialists
throughout Germany. the mem
bership of this wing of the party
being represented as expanding
tremendously at the expense of
the majority Socialist branch.

partlc ular woman S club or or
ganization has pride in feeling
that she can be of service through
that particular channel. in
working together for the promo
ton of a common program, there
must be a division o. area ana Z"
division Of credit. Such division
involves mutual sacrifice. If
other organizations accept our
leadership and standards they will
be willing wherever necessary for
greatest efficiency, to work under
our banner. On the other. hand
in accepting leadership, if we re-
main true to our aim to promote
IA program and not an organiza-
ton. we must continue to stand
ready to put all our resources. oar
records, our textbooks, our
methods. at the disposal Of every
woman or organization who is
ready to work. and be grateful to
see our tools under other banners
as well as under our own.
The program for these girls and
women is tremendous; it is not a
little thing. It's needs are not

a little money. We believe fous
million dollars will take care of
the most immediate needs during
1917-1918. We must not be
afraid to enlarge our budget and
keep on charging it. We need
not only money. but workers, vol
unteer and professional, the best
women in our land, for leaders.
Everybody is bsuy. everybody s
overworked, and yet there is the
need that calls.
We can all do more than we
have done
And not be a whit the worse ;
1t was never loving that emp

Ask yourself this question :
"Have / faith in the program
that has been set up and have [
faith in the equipment and ex-
perience, the motive and methods,
of the Y. w. C. A. to promote it ?"
And remember that faith is more
than a mental decision; it is a
surrender of the will. 1t is more
than a verdict; it is the execution
of the verdict. !" What is your
verdict?
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1917-12-29

Why is the Y. W. c. A., ac-
cording to some people, pre-em-
ipently fitted to undertake this
programY What are it's ere
dentials in work and power!
In the first place it is truly ma
tional. 1T is not only national
organization but it is a world
wide organization. We have about
three hundred and sixty thousand
members in the United States and
over eight hundred thousand
members throughout the world.
We are in close touch with the
problems of women in other coln-
tries as well as in our own coun-
try and when calls come to us as
they have come: from Russia, from
England, from France and other
places: "Send us some Of your

WHY THE Y. w. G. A. WAR
COUNCIL.
BY Mrs. Dave II. Morris.


Why should the Y. w. c. A. be
entrusted to carry out on a ma
tion-wide scale a program of pro-
lection and comfort for women
and girls affected by the war;
The Y. w. G. A. feels that its
work is to promote a program, not
to promote an organization. Why
then should it be selected as a
leader in the program, and why
should other women's organiza-
tions be asked to cooperate with
it?
These questions remind me of
the Salvation Army lassie who
asked young man at meeting,
"Are you Christiang' When
he drew himself up rather straight
and said: "Why. | am a Y M.
G. A. secretary" she laughlngly
answered: ooh. don't let lit
e&Je thing like that stand in. your
Eay.'' And so if people ask us:
Are e,u meeting the immediate
needs Of Young women todayY
and we simply draw up our
shoulders straight and say. why.
we are the Y. w. c. a. they
could reply. Don't let your liable
he hindrance, show us your
credentials in work and power. :
