food shortage of late so much advice
on what TO do and what not to do, that
the housewife must find herself in almost daily
perplexity over the question 80 buy or not to
buy"
Suppose we look into the meaning of econ
omy and thrft,-the words that are now on
every tongue and pen. If the housewife I'M
derstands what economy is and is not, perhaps
her practice of it will be less difficult.
Going back to the root meaning Of the word
economy" it will be found that it comes from
two Greek words, meaning "the management
Of house"
Contrast that with the meaning Of the word
thrift" Thrift, through the word thrive,
comes from an old Icelsndic term meaning "to
seize for ones self"
The watchword for the housewife in the
present situation should be Economy, with
thought for others, rather than Thrift. with
thought only for self.
It is necessary at this crisis that every one
should understand the using of food in terms
of the whole populatior-in terms of the whole
world really. The boarding Of supplies, the
wasting of good food, the superabundance of
the lavish household are equally bad
The food situation Just now is such that
only by the most careful planning and wise
utilization will serious shortage be averted.
There cannot be too careful economy in the
purchase and use Of foodstuffs.
This is time when it is we'll TO get per
sonally acquainted with the grocery man, the
market man and the baker Visit their shops
and talk to them about this food crisis. Many
of them are intelligent observers and can CON
tribute helpful knowledge.
Besides, there's lot 70 be learned Of human
nature as we'll as food prices in the average
corner shop. It is quite possible that some Of
the idiosyncracies of human nature have some
bearing on food prices.
There is the matter of deliveries. How few
women stop to consider that they must pay for
that service,-not merely for the necessary
delivery Of heavy and bulky packages, but also
for the smallest order; for the unreasonable
demands Of the extravagant woman and the
forgetful woman. Ask your market man about
that. He will tell you stories that will tax
your credulity.
II seems too much to ask any one to believe
that woman will buy quarter Of pound Of
bacon--cost, 12 cents-ask the butcher TO wrap
up two slices for her TO take with her and tell
him to send the rest 70 her address. No. there
is to be nothing else sent her-ony that
Shopkeepers differ as 70 the cost Of deliver
ing orders. From various figures collected II
may be said that it costs from IL 70 4 cents
for each delivery made by the retail store in
the average neighborhood The variation in
the figures seems 70 be due 70 the number OF
deliveries made and the range Of territory
covered.
Wages for delivery wagon drivers are nov

ASKS ALLIES TO

Delegates From Front Calls

NEED MUCH STEEL
Soldiers Declare They Have
to Fight With Their
Hands
MUCH STEEL
BY Associatcd PrcsS

Petrograd, May so. - The con-
gress of delegates from the front,
after a debate on the war, has unan-
imously voted the following resolu-
ton:
First, the army in the trenches
declares that it is indispensable to
take every measure to put an end as
quickly as possible to the interna-
tional carnage and conclude peace
without annexa0ons or indemnities,
on the basis of the right of all ma
tions to dispose of themselves, pro-
claiming at the same time the watch
word, Whoever wishes for peace
must prepare for war; second, the
army, pointing out that the Russian
soldiers have been fighting hitherto
under conditions infinitely worse
than those of the allies, that the
Russian soldier, has had to march
almost unprotected against the enc
my's bullets and break with bare
arms the barbed wire entanglements,
which the allies and the enemy pass
freely after artillery preparation, de-
clares that the Russian front must
be provided with munitions and
everything necessary to maintain the
principle, the more metal the less
gun fodder"
In conclusion the congress declares
that the army appeals to all to whom
free Russia is dear to rally around
the council of soldiers and work
mems delegates and the provisional
government and not to permit "ad-
venturers to let the army become
manure for foreign fields"
