CAN LIVE WITHOUT EATING
Average Man, II He Has Water to
Drink, is Able to Exist for About
Thirty Days Without Food.

If there were n siege how long do
you think the soldiers and civilians
could live after the food supplies gave
.out2
Science tells us that il he can get
drinking water, an ordinary man can
exist for about thirty days without
food. Al the end of that time the
machinery of the body will not be
spoiled, and can be entirely strength
ened back to it's old standard by care
full feeding.
About One-quarter of our body
weight is fat, and it is mostly this fat
which is absorbed as food during the
period of starvation.
We can absorb and burn up our
muscles until GO per cent of their
weight has gone. We can do the same
with from 30 to 40 per cent of our
llvers and digestive organs, and 90 per
cent of our lungs. Our hearts can lose
10 per cent and our brains and nerv-
Gus systems can lose 5 per cent.
Ii win thus be seen that the more
vital organs, brain and heart, yield
least of their valuable substances; fat,
muscles and so on are consumed first.

A Modern Classic.

The following war aneCdOte was told
by British Consul Nugent at banquet
recently:
"They tell a story about a Greek
army corps that surrendered 20 the
Germans and was taken into food

the nation.

would ut least give us some rations.
Eyes, and that's right, too said
the German commandment genially. as
he took a huge packet Of cards from
his desk.
"Here are your Greek ration cards
specially got up by Us for our revered
Greek guests. They entitle every Greek
soldier to six olives day five days
per week. and, furthermore. on the
two "oliveless days" they entitle each

STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE TO
MAKE CAMPAIGN TO CUT

Another Advantage Will Be to Increase
Man Power for the Army and
Thereby Help to Win the
Battles We Must Fight
in Europe.

Madison, Wis.-The Garry plan Tor
grocery stores and other business
houses which bear a similar relation
to the consumer is to be made the
basis OF a campaign to cut down de-
llyeries by the State Council of De
Tense.
Al the urgent request Of the Ma
tional Council of Defense, the Wiscon-
sin Council will inaugurate this cam
paign It's object is to conserve man
power for the war, but the advantages
which win accrue to the consumer in
lower prices will be one of it's great
benefits.
Every one has heard Of the thought
less woman who buys a spool OF thread
and asks that it be delivered. This
may be an unusual experience for the
retail store, but every day some such
order is received over the telephone.
The custom of having goods delivered
has become so thoroughly established
that consumers think nothing OF ask
ing for immediate deliveries several
times a day. without a thought of the
economic Ions for which some one
must pay.
The State Council will try to remedy
This situation by recommending re
1uction OF the number of deliveries to
two each day. Housewives will be
asked to cooperate and without their
cooperation the plan will fail,
There are many ways in which the
women of America are being called
upon to do their Bit. and this is one
Of them,
Fewer deliveries means more mer

which must go on during the war

yantages of carrying parcels is to b'

Dorr left the room, and Colt stood
firm, erect, and calm till the door had

down the hall; then he sank down
with groan, burying his face in his
hands like one beaten, crushed. After
a time he rose and fastened home
knowing he was past the dinner hour
and his wife would be waiting.
Dora met him with the tender sym
pathetic smile that meant so much to
him. But she noticed the more than
usual worn look, his face was pale and
drawn, he seemed to have aged five
years since morning. He scarcely
touched the meal, and as soon as she
had him comfortably bestowed in an
easy chair, she came to him, drew his
head against her breast as she sat
on the arm of the chair, and said:
