When a country is at war the ecOnO
mic and domestic conditions of that
country ave absolutely in the hands
of the women who stay at home. II
is then that the finest and best il
Womanhood blossoms forth. and it all
shows itself in her efficient conduct
of tie home and of her children.
If ever the American housewife has
the chance to show her domestic eff
fiCiency it is now and in the months
to come Prices, already high, Will
undoubtedly be higher. Labor, scarce
enough now, will be sCarCer. Trans
portation, already cOngested, will be
more congested. And in the face Of
these problems that will touch, per-
sonally and directly, every housewife
the average income will shrink as
taxes increase and as men are taken
from their wage pursuits 70 serve
their country.
The American housewives prob
lem will he high prices and reduced
incomes.
And here is where the woman left
at home will measure up or not. Only
two factors will help her: efficiency
and economy. The time for Uasteful
housekeeping is over. And how
Wasteful We have been we will only
realize as conditions compel US more
and moro to do with less or without.
Nor will either necessity injure us
in any way if the woman has her head
about her. With less we can easily
do. And how simply and better we
can do without is a lesson that will
be new to some and good for all. We
have had a succession of sOftening
years of prosperity. 1t will do us
good to have a period of the harden
ing process that comes with sacrifice
Nor should we for one instant COM
plain. What has been the remaking
of the peoples Of other nations will
be our making. And we need the re
making. Our turn has come, and the
time is here either to put into prac-
tise what we have learned, or to
learn what We should have learned
and didn't
The American woman must learn
thrift. She must get away from the
notion that prodigality is the sign
of the aristocrat and that it is mean
to be thrifty We have cooked by
wasteful processes; we have served
in overbundance. we have thrown
away what others have used; we hav =
taken no thought of lean times to
come. But the lean times are here
and they will be leaner yet before
we are much older. 1t is here That
every American woman can do her
bit" The time has come for her
to study her job Of running her home
as a business. and to place it on an
intelligent and systematic basis. This
does not mean penuriousness. 1t does
not mean that she need or should
deprive those at her table of the ne
cessary nourishment. But it does
mean that she must study the food
problem more closely; to see how
much she can give that is nourishing
for how little money

What Did You Waste Today?

What Did You Waste Today?
Is there any woman who can say
that she had no share IN the waste
Of food worth S7OO,00OO 900 by Ameri,
cans last year? We can go a leng
way toward paying the bills of the
war, and render real war service at
home, our government says, If each
of us will do our part to stop this
enormous wastage of food. Our enc
mics owe their survival in large part
to the willingness and ability Of all
their people to abolish waste of food
and make every ounce count. The
United States department Of agricul,
ture, as one part of it's work in war,
is attempting to mobilize American
women in a fight in dead earnest
against waste of food Are you serv-
ing your country and the nations
with which it has Joined cause, by
cutting down food waste? TO women
also the government looks to disCi'
pline the men and the children OF
every home in the war against waste.
If you are not in touch with anybody
or place giving information on how
you can save food, ask your state
college of agriculture or the United
States department of agriculture to
help you. Either will.

How Do Rice and Barley Compare
As TO General Food Value?

AS TO General Fooo value!
If you wish to force one Of our
noble cereals" to serve in the
ranks" as a common vegetable we
could do no better than to make bar
ley our selection. 1t resembles rice
in composition, but contains more
protein, fat and mineral matter.
Since it is cheaper than rice the
housewife will get more for her
money" and will not exceed her al
lowance" so quickly in these days
of excessive food cost if she calls bar
ley to her assistance. Boiled barley,
for example, is a most satisfactory
food and possesses a flavor which
appeals to many persons rather more
than does the flavor of boiled rice.
Barley has about the same food value
as wheat, but barley flour does not
make good bread unless mixed with
an equal weight of wheat flour SO
far as the digestion of rice and barley
in the stomach is concerned Our tests
indicate that boiled barley digests
rather more rapidly than does bOile1
polished rice and leaves the stomach
sooner. The natural brown (unpol-
ished) rice is passed into the bowel
in about the same time as barley.

necessary for us to work collectively
or organically in this matter If such
opportunities come our way we should
take advantage of them, for the double
purpose of giving any good organized

If we are asked, however, to go it

You'll Be Fooled Too.

Remember That Though olive Oil,
lard and cottonseed oil are practically
all fat, butter is only about nine
tenths fat; therefore, when one of the
first three is used as a butter substl-
tute, only four-fifths as much is re-
ouired. Isn't the difference in the

Catastrophe al Halifax Appa!l- -s--z,nn in the ,z.ahs of Life
 and Prq}erty.
BIG PART OF CITY IN RUINS
Fire Following Ran of Explosives Completes Destruction-Port and Harbor One of the Most Valued
 of British Naval Posts.

Outside the toll of life claimed on land and sea by the great war, the catastrophe at Halifax is by far the greatest disaster in many years.
 Numerous explosions have occurred in munition plants in this country and Europe, but the Halifax disaster is the most tragic explosion, inl the number of lives lost, in the last quarter cen tury. Indeed, few catastrophes of any nature have probably exceeded it in the number Of dead.
 Pilot Frank Mackie of the Mont Blanc declared that the collision re- suited from a confusion of whistles sounded by the loma, causing col lision with the Mont Blanc, which ar rived at a United States Atlantic port on November 9, laden with 5000 tons of munitions for France. She was in bound from New York when she was rammed by the Belgian relief ship Ioma.
 Flames Caught Benzine.
 The impact set fire to a deck load of benzine on the French ship and the flames quickly communicated with the munitions, resulting in a practical bombardment of the city.
 The zone of destruction in Halifax itself extended from the North street railway station as far north as Afric- vile to Bedford basin and covered an area of about two square miles in the section known as Richmond. The buildings which were not demolished by the force of the terrific. explosion were destroyed by the fire which fol- lowed.
 District Densely Populated.
 The devastated district was the old CT part of Halifax and thickly popu- lated It contained, ill addition to Citadel hill, many churches and schools, the railway station, govern ment backyard, Wellington barracks, Admiralty House (the official resi- dence of the admiral in command of the North American British squad ron), the military hospital, post office, provisional parliament building, city hall the ordnance department, most of the department stores, all of the tele- graph and cable offices and a few ho- tels.
 The better residence district was al most unharmed. It lies southward from the Queens, and includes most of the churches. including St. Mary's Ro' man Catholic cathedral.
 In the fire-swept section were the parliament buildings. post office, three

FAMOUS FOR BEAUTY.

One of the oldest of Canadian cities HalifaX also is one of the most pie turesque. It has two principal beau ty spots, Point Pleasant park and the Public Gardens. The first lies between the North Arm. q ford three miles long, and the harbor proper. The North Arm is the cruising basin for canoes and pleasure craft of small size.
 Two hundred acres Of land make up Point Pleasant park, and the woods have been left in wild state. The roads are splendid. They were built for military purposes. The park has pair of magnificent iron gates given to the city by Sir William Young, a former chief justice of the province. They are set a1 the head of Young avenue, one of the principal roads of the park.
 A mile from Young avenue gates are the Public Gardens, the most cul- tivated spot nj Canada, and said to be its most beautiful garden. n area of 20 acres is thus given ull r pur- pose of pleasure right in the heart of the city. When the land was origin ally t9',en up for park purposes it lay on th.. outskirts of the town, and was a hunting field. It is laid out in formal flower beds band stand and precise walks.
 Like Bit of London.
 A dozen public buildings, each with a history, also tended to soften the lines of "the garrison city" Houses originally built of wood and stucco and later of stone and brick and patterned after the English style, give the visi- tor the impression that Halifax is a corner of London itself, lifted and transplanted in Nova Scotia.
 From the citadel beautiful view of the entire city and harbor is given. Facing the water front, one looking from the fortress may see the entire business district of Halifax( lying par allel to the docks and extending back almost mile from the water fi-nt. On three sides of the citadel the resi- dence section slopes away to the wa fer. which almost surrounds the prom ontory.
 Haligonians always took the great est pride in their public buildings. In the point of age, Old Martello Tower, built during the earliest days of the citys history, is second only to St. Pauls church. It was used as an out post when settlers were unable to leave the Qualifications of the colony without taking chances of being scalp ed by the Indians.
