parently had been struck over the
head with a flatiron. A silk stocking
was knotted tightly around her neck.

 In this connection we quote from ghe appeal that President Wilson is sending broadcast over our country. Let me suggest, ,niso, that everyone who creates or eultivsles a garden helps. and helps grestly. to solve the problem of the feeding of the nations :, and that every housewife who prsc- tlees strict economy puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the nation. This Is the time for America to cor. rect her unpsrdoasble fault of waste fulness and extravsgance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, proyident use and ex- penditure as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever 10 be excused or forgiven i fOr ignoring.
 In the hope that this statement Of the needs of the nation and Of the world in this hour Of supreme crisis may stimulate those to whom IL comes and remind all who necd reminder oi lhe solemn duties of time such as ths world has never seen eetore, l beg that all editors and publishers everywhers Will give as prominent publication and as wide circulation as possible to this appeal. l venture 10 saxgest, also, to all advertising ageacies that they would perhaps render very suostsn .isl and timely service to the couatry if they would give is widespread repe ton. And hope that Nergymen vii not think the theme of it an unworthy or Inappropriate subject of comment and homlly from their pulpits.
