~ out of benevOlence to our allies
that we are going to cut down food
waste and to curtail food varieties
The real reason America is doing this
is because America knows now that
she must whip Germany; that the pro-
visioning of our better prepared allies
is one OF the first and most necessary
steps to that purpose; that if we don't
conserve voluntarily we shall be COM
PEELED soon to conserve under COM
pulsion; that loaves are bullets; that
only in restriction shall we find our
victory.
Let the American woman and the
American man put into the food con.
servation movement all the aspect Of
voluntary sacrifice that can be in
jected. 1t is good for the soul, and
will be good for the cause of right.
But let them not swell up and feel
themselves martyrs thereupon. They
are doing what they ought to do and
what they must do-no more.

VOLUNTARY CONSERVATION.

Sioux City Journal: The representa-

States a peculiarly impressing thing.
They speak kind words of Americas
self sacrificing determination to give

France and England and Italy and
Russia may be supplied. They do not
omit to make clear that the abnega-
ton which we are about to practice
is minor compared to those that our
allies already have been forced to
come to. But they find it splendid,
none the less, and an evidence of an
heroic American spirit that eventual

All this has its element of truth.
But 1t would be just as we'll to recog.

Dirty Windows and Poor EYES,

The factors largely responsible for
poor illumination are small, narrow
windows, low power artificial lights
placed too far from the point Of opera
ton, and neglect Of facilities at hand
for obtaining light, according to the
Pennsylvania Department of Labor
and Industry. By this neglect Is meant
lack of cleanliness. This applies first
of all to the windows. There is
scarcely a single Industrial locality
which does not contain at least one
building, and all too frequently sew
eral buildings of the same type. They
are built with a supply Of window
space sufficient to illuminate amply
the interior. The dust and dirt accu-
mulated upon them, however, destroy
in large proportion their usefulness.
The same condition is found In arti-
fetal lighting. The electric light bulb,
dusty or streaked with dirt, the result
of hurried and incomplete attempts ut
washing, often shaded with a fixture
meant to be a reflector, but which in
reality is anything but that. family

hemstitched, sleeves plain and roomy
and, so far, all the details of its con-
struction are all like tried old friends
with whom we have long been famil-

of this blouse thought Of adding an
organdie collar and cuffs made of a
fine organdie edging, and Of shaping
the collar in a new way. Furthermore,
the dainty embroidered edge of the
Organdie Is lifted into prominence by a
narrow border of black Organdie.
The collar is high at the back and
rolls at the front, the wiry texture Of
the material making this pretty adjust
ment to the neck possible. The cuffs
are simply lengths of the embroidered
organdie, turned back and fastened at
the top with n single pearl button. The
means by which its maker arrived ut
such good ends in this blouse are the
simplest. But the touch of sheer black
in collar and cuffs Is original and fine

and the whole effect Is one of utmost
refinement.
Among other new models there are
noted several with collars shaped and
put on in the same way as that shown
in the picture. Often they are flet
lace and sheer embroidery combined
and sometimes of two laces. They are
usually smaller. The high roll at the
back and the partially closed but cool
looking throat opening is a piece Of
fine management.

His Fables Were CLASSICS,

Jean de In Fontaine. the seventeenth
century French genius, who ranks
among the greatest fabulists of all
time, died 222 years ago, at the age of
seventy-fOur, and to the last he was as
naive, ~improvident, reckless and good
hearted as a child.
He was the son Of q magistrate, and
In his youth proposed to become a
priest. but abandoned that project aft
er eighteen months in a seminary, and
thereafter, for several years, led an
idle and dissipated life. His early eff
forts as poet and dramatist were of
little worth, and 1t was not until he
was forty-four that he gained fame
with his "Contes pour Rire"-tales for
laughter.
La FOntaine's masterpiece, his
"Fables," were published between 1868
and 1904, the last book having been
completed shortly before his death. In
these ne satirized the whole range Of
human nature in its animal counter
parts, and produced a work that will
always rank as a great classic.
