An especially interesting pro-

,,ps of the meeting being the talk
= Professor M. V. Caudell, and
,,no solos by Miss Sarah Neff,
~aduste of the Peabody Conser-
,tory of Music, Baltimore.
Miss Caudell in her talk, on the
,,rt of the American housewife in
rrning the great world war, dwelt
!, the problem of substitution of
hOds, as the chief work for the
rinter months.
THE woman's problem" she
aid, "is to find how to make the
zpsr's crops go the farthest; to
ind ways of substituting other
foods for wheat, beef, pork and
ugar"
Miss Caudells appeal, by it's
mplicity and practicability, won
he support of everyone. To her
pdence of homemakers she ad-
ressed the pertinent questions:
Are we adapting our ways to
kset condition never before wit
kssed in the world? Are we max
ng good the claims of the food
lard displayed in our windows? :?
re we living up to the slogan,
Food will win the war;"

prtance of releasing wheat,
