kind. has not aroused the slightest enthusi-
asm. and the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, the American Defense So
ciety, the Nation Security League and
other great organizations now propose to
institute campaign of education.
First, they will show the people that the
United States actually is fighting for self
preservation, just as.aTe Great Britain and
France and Italy and other Allies. Should
the Allies line break on the western front
of battle or the navy of Great Britain come
to grief, the Uuited States would positively
be at the mercy of the Germans nation
that has shown itself without mercy. The
General Staff of the army and the late Adj
mral Dewey have proved that Germany
could land over 100000 men on the At
lantic seaboard in month, at almost any
point from New England to Florida, 'even
though opposed by our own forces" and
with the Allies armies and navies defeated
Germany undoubtedly would do SO.
By many persona it is argued that the
war cannot be carried into the United
States which is dangerously misleading
as thelargument of John Randol phi in Con-
grcss on March %, 1910.
with respect to war" said Randolph,
I'VE have, thank God, in the Atlantic fosse
wide and deep enough to keep off any i'm
mediate danger to our territory. The be-
hgerents know, as well as we feel, that war
is out of the question:
Yet, two years later the war of 1872
broke out, the impossible fosse'' was
crossed by hostile army, and before the
war was over the British had burned the
very chamber in which Randolph had
made this dangerous misleading statement
to the house of representatives and the
people Of the land.
Furthermore, this fact was recited to
Congress in warning. by former Repre-
sentative Gardner on January 81, 1915,
when mighty high authority in the govern
ment said that 'Mr, Gardner is talking
through his hat" and the substantial men
of the country that the people must be
awakened to a realization of their actual
danger Even the unexpected appearance
of an armed U-boat in Newport harbor and
its destruction of shipping almost within
the American three-mile limit failed to
arouse the people as awhole, and Germany
is liable to send whole fleet of such
crafts across the water and attack any
American seaport at any time.
The idea that the United States is fight
ing for the abstract ideals of humanity"
and democracy and service to mankind"
has failed to stimulate the nation to active
interest; now, the people are TO be told the
cold, uneompromising truth; the United
States is fighting for selfpreservation
against possible invasion at any time by a
and barbarian foe.

NECK FIxINGs.
Gay CoIors and Collar.
less Effects the Thing.

Just when it seemed that the white
collar had become an obsolete feature
Of dresses it shows evidence Of reviv-
ing, and it may be said that the broad
collar Of satin or Of lingerie fabrics
will be one Of the principal attractions
OF incoming fashions.
As things are at the present moment
many women look as IL they had dress
ed in hurry and omitted the impor-
tant item of neckwear. The French
designer who brought out the collar
less frock had in mind the eternally
young and piquant type Of girl. As
this type is limited, despite all efforts
to the contrary, it follows that only the
favored few look well dressed in the
gown sans collar.
There is something rather commend
able in the dress that exploits a neck
finish Of gay color. 1t is in keeping
with the trend of fashion that empha-
sizes everything connected with sport
wear, whether the garment in ques-
ion has anything to do with athletic
life or otherwise.
Some of the color combinations are
decidedly startling. One finds green
associated with purple, and yellow
with old rose, and turquoise with pink.
Usually the collar is Of satin, and this
in itself supplies a decorative note
when the dress is Of wool jersey, serge
or similar fabric.
Frequently it happens that the color
Of the collar is repeated in the facing
Of the sash. A recent model shows a
collar whose front lines are extended
to give a four-in-hand effect. The
front of the bodice shows two slashes,
and through these the ends Of the
crayat are passed.

Fashions Greed.

1t appears that the prevailing creed
in fashion is that a woman must not
think of going'in her shirt sleeves any
more than a man would think of doing
It. She wears a wash blouse beneath
the jacket for purposes Of cleanliness,
but not publicity. So farreaching Is
this creed that the medieval tunic
which extends only to the hip line and
is fastened to the shoulder or slips
over the head Is worn over a blouse
with a cloth skirt even In the house.
Probably the best thing to remember
in buying clothes now is that the fig
ure must be Strengthened out, in the
medieval manner, from bust to hips.
You can choose your own way Of doing
it, whether by deep girdle, by the
straight lines of the fabric or by belt
Of suede or leather that conceals any
inward curve beneath the arms toward
the waist

BEAUTIFUL TEETH.
A Hygiene Note For Mothers of Small
Babes.

Good milk will make good teeth, for
it makes teeth for calves. Good meat
will, for it makes them for young lions
and wolves. Good vegetables, nuts and
fruits will, for it makes them for mon
keys. Good corn, oats, barley, wheat,
rye, and indeed everything that grows,
will make good teeth if taken in their
natural state, no elements being taken
out, for every one of them makes good
teeth for horses and cows.
But starches and sugars and lard and
adulterated foods will not make good
teeth; therefore q wise mother will
keep from very young children pastry.
white bread, cakes and tea and will
give them instead good milk, whole
wheat bread, cereals, meat, eggs, ripe
fruit, vegetables and nuts and will do
we'll to see that these helps are given
them early enough.
Every mother should remember that
the duty of giving her child useful and
strong teeth devolves upon her.

Some Wedding Ways.

Goodby to the plain gold band, at
least for awhile. The really smart
bride now wears a band Of platinum
set close with diamonds or merely
plain band of chased or filigree plati-
mum. Hoops Of platinum set with one
kind Of gems-rubies, emeralds, sap
phires, as the case may be-are surely
unusual as the symbol Of ''the tie that
binds" Green gold, the latest metal
fad in jewelry, is fashioned In plain
chased bands for the same dignifed
purpose.
1t is something of a change to have
the bridesmaids CARRIED with short wells
instead of hats or bonnets. The GUS
tom is a pretty one when properly car
ried out. The veil may be square Of
hemstitched chiffon, bound pointwise
on the head with a circlet Of pearl
beads or a band Of metal ribbon.

The main nutrient which we buy
food for, protein, is greatest In the por-
terhouse. But it is nearly equaled by
the flank, and when we compare the
refuse Of the two we see that there is
less refC Sc in the flank and more fat
But comparing the rump, which is a
much cheaper piece, we see it has quite
as much refuse and a third less protein
value. Now, many a housekeeper with
a sense Of economy would purchase the
rump because it sells for 6 cents or s
cents a pound less than the porter
house; or, again, she might purchase
the porterhouse, which sells for some
times 10 cents more than the flank.
But the really true economy would be
to purchase that meat which sells not
for the lower price, but which has the
most nutrient ION the dollar" We
might say, and this would certainly be
the flank. In other words, given q dol
lar or any number Of dollars, on what
can it be spent to get best value?
Every food has a certain per cent Of
waste, and this per cent of waste must
DC huO"h LII W uO ICdhy cNOuOlu-
ical buying. 1t frequently happens that
the higher priced foods without waste
are less expensive than the cheap food
where there are bones, gristle, skin,
parings, peel, ETC., paid for. Marketing
along this new line is being carried on
in some of our high schools, where
girls are given a definite sum for week
ly expenditures and are asked to figure
how best to nourish some imaginary
family for that amount. How many
older housekeepers are following this
new and scientific marketing? Per
haps the new arithmetic will have such
examples as these: If one pound of
cheese costs % cents and yields a %
per cent protein value and one pound
Of rib roast costs 80 cents and yields
only Is per cent Of protein, how many
pounds Of the most protein value can
you buy for a dollar? Arithmetic based
on actual practical problems might do
more to interest girls and to bring up a
new race of scientific housekeepers.

EMBROIDERY CRETONNES.
How to Make Attractive Spreads by
the Art of Applique.

TOW TO wake NttrdCIiNo SPTSdoS "
the Art of Applique.
Simple work for busy hands seems to
be in demand just at present. APP
pliqued patch embroidery is simple and
is made quickly.
To make centerpieces, cushion tops,
scarfs, tides or chair backs, clothes
bags, ETC., plain linen or silk is needed,
preferably linen.
Circles Of applique are cut from
cretonne. The design should be large
single flower or small spray in order to
cut three inch circles. The circles are
basted to the cloth and stitched on by
machine close to the edge. Chain stitch
around each circle with coarse thread,
then run through with a white thread
in what is called the blanket stitch,
or whip it straight along the last row
Of stitches, catching it over and over.
The white rolls in with the black and
is very pretty. A scroll is drawn in
by cutting out a figure which looks
well and then tracing it off on the
cloth.
In a centerpiece six medallions are
used, three in a pillow, three in each
end of a scarf and three in a chair
back. To finish the edge outline it as
the medallions were outlined. Dots,
which are often placed in the center or
the scrollwork, are made of black In
the satin stitch.

The Slender Throat.

Too much flesh on the neck is a fatal
bar to beauty. 1t is far simpler to put
flesh on a woman's throat than to take
it off, for If the tissues are fed with a
good skin food, such as cocoa butter,
the neck will soon begin to round out.
On the other hand, only exercise of the
most vigorous sort will reduce the size
Of the throat. For tendency to a
double chin and to tighten the muscles
which have become loosened, try this
simple exercise: Throw the head back
as far as it will go, drawing the mus
cles tight. Now turn the head slowly
as far to the right as you can and then
to the left. Repeat ten times, increas-
ing as you become accustomed to the
strain. Massaging the neck with a
piece of ice is excellent for keeping the
flesh firm.

THE TALKING TREES.

Once upon time as the little birds
were making their long journey to the
pleasant warm countries where birds
spend the winter little robin was left
behind. He had lame wing, and lame
winged birds never can fly far.
Little robin looked about in the
strange woods where, tired out, he had
to stop. He crept up to a gnarled old
oak tree whose branches scared a hun
dred feet into the air.
please let me stay with you all win
ter" the little bird pleaded. Your
leaves will shelter me from the winter
Winds
But the oak was proud. go away"
he said. Il do not want tramp birds
like you about my branches"
The little bird sped to the beech tree,
but the beech tree made believe not to
hear the robin.
'"The maple is so lovely. Perhaps
she Is also kind" tie little bird said
And he went to the maple tree to ask
her for shelter. But the maple tree
was not kind.
He flew to the little stream along
which the white birch trees cleaned,
ut the birches said that they were not
trong enough to take dodgers.
As, tired and sorrowful, the little bird
tarted away on his lame wing a dark,
;haggy tree standing on the hill slope
called to him, Here you are welcome
to shelter, little wanderer." 1t was the
all pine tree with thick needles which
'ould turn off the toughest winter wind.
81, too, have home for you," called
the tall, dark spruce. And the stately
cedar whispered that if the little bird
cared to live near the dwellings Of man
not to overlook its sheltering branches
in the garden.
GAS for me-" called the little juniper,
though may not be able to offer shell
ter, my berries will provide you with
food, to which you are welcome as long
as you need them"
And so the little bird stayed with
and every evening he sang them little
song Of gratitude.
Old King Winter heard it one day
and learned the birds story. He said
to one of his widest winds:
go out into the woods and strip
those unkind trees of the leaves Of
which they are so proud, but the trees
that have been kind and willing to
share what they had with the unfortu-
nate shall always wear their green
leaves all winter"

Colored Wells Worn.

Colored wells are being worn to a
considerable extent Beige, gray and
navy are the most popular colors. The
embroidered veil continues to domi-
nate, yet one sees a combination Of
colors; for example, beige colored en-
broidery on a navy veil is smart, again
gray on navy. Black and white combi-
nations are making their appearance In
increasing number. We note white
chenille embroidery on a fine black
hexagon mesh. There seems to be a

ABOUT FOOD value
How to Buy Nourishment Is Told
by an Expert.
COMPARISON OF NUTRIENTS

The High Cost of Living May Be Re-
dueed by Simple Arithmetic and a
knowledge of What the Different
Foods Contain Both of Nourishment
and of Waste.
How much is it a pound?" inquiries
the housekeeper, whether she pur-
chases meat, flour, cheese or coffee.
On the pound value she bases the cost
Of her housekeeping and the cost
Of the meals and living Of her family.
One would think to hear her that, If
meat costs % cents a pound or cheese
% cents or coffee 80 cents, just in
so many cents does she get an equiva-
lent In nourishment. But this is totally
wrong. The price per pound in nowise
represents the price of nourishment to
the body.
The housekeeper who Is really trying
to solve the high cost of everything
will first study nutritive values. She
can do this by the aid Of government
bulletins and several small volumes
which she can buy. She must know
how much nutrition she gets out of her
meat, her sugar, her cheese, her coffee,
before she knows the actual cost of
feeding her family. In other words,
she must learn to buy not by the pound,
but by the food value.
Let US compare porterhouse, the
rump and the flank. From actual fig
ures we see that the food values of
these pieces are not the same; neither
do they contain the same amount of
wasta.

Hot Water Bags.

A few precautions taken with a new
hot water bag and continued through
out its life will greatly prolong its days
Of usefulness. To begin with, buy the
bag from a reliable dealer. Most bags
are guaranteed and are replaced with
new ones If there is any defect. These
guarantees, of course, are not good If
you treat the bag harshly. But as soon
as you get new bag home fill it with
hot water, screw in the top and look
1t over carefully to see that there is no
leak and no other visible imperfection.
II there Is none and If the bag is Of
good quality it is your own fault If you
cannot tear up the guarantee as not
needed. -.

Sash an Important Thing.

All the French gowns are showing
that the girdle or the sash will be an
important feature of the spring fash

waist line by any kind Of belt, but it Is
swathed in oriental fashion with soft
and stiff belts, with Chinese embroid-
cry, with Russian handwork, including
threads Of old silver and colored crys-
tails and with broad pieces Of satin
which are cross stitched with silver
and gold thread. and on these jersey
blouses there are sashes in broad pep
permint candy stripping.
