The first we knew was the sound
of a violent explosion which shook the

New York, July 12.-steps toward
paign to conserve the nations food
supply have been taken by the Ma
tional League fon Woman's Service by
enlisting thousands Of women through
out the thirty-eight states in which
the league has branches to practice
economy and study war cooking
which means learning how to feed the
family well but without any waste.
The plan outlined at the leagues
headquarters in New York provides
for the appointment Of prominent
women in every locality to act as
team captains each captain enlist
ing at least twenty 'privates' who
pledge themselves to observe the rules
of economy and get others to do like
wise. The work laid out by the
leagues home economics department
is arranged to dovetail with Mr.. Hoov-
er's plans and will be expanded as
he develops his campaign for the gov

This is the moment for the open
mind on the food question. When q
mans business expenses are mount
ing UP to a figure that chokes out
profit, he knows he has to do some
skillful reorganizing. That is exactly
what we nave to do in this business of
being a housewife.
Agriculture has recently issued the
following bulletin:
Abandon Food Prejudices.
Don't be fnicky. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and
nourishing foods widely used and en-
joyed in one section are practically
unknown in other sections Of the
country. Learn to know all the good
things, not a few.
people too easily get into food
ruts; insist on eating only the food
they are used to, and refuse to give
a fair trial to others. This causes UNI
due demand for certain staples, with
resulting scarcity or high prices when
crops are short. At the same time
other valuable foods may be relative
ly cheap and available. A striking in
stance of this is a failure fully to p
preciate rice-a valuable source of
starch-when potatoes are scarce n
high. Another example is refusal in
certain sections to use anything but
wheat a. a breadstuff, when corn-a
valuable cereal, widely used elsewhere
as a breadstuff-is plentiful and re-
latively cheap.
Cook Food Properly.
Learn how to cook all kinds Of
staple foods and to serve them; in
variety of ways. Simple dishes well
prepared are better than expensive
foods badly cooked. @rt
Many persons are prejudiced
against certain good foods because
when first tried, the foods were i'm
properly cooked or prepared. Re
move from your vocabulary don't
like or can't eat
Most individual prejudices against
widely popular foods are either inn
aginary or baseless.
Try to like every simple food; give
1t a fair trial."
think most of us who have studied
the food question are ready to admit
that h greatest drawback to table
economy is a matter of prejudice.
Our food habits are generally formed
early In life and 1t is hard to change
them; in fact, as a rule, we don't want
to change them, for likes and dislikes
are very important to the individual
ego.
Today we are confronted with the
fact that we must have much more
money with which to provide for the
table. or get very much more value
out of the usual allowance. Every
word in the government bulletin is SO
we'll considered that no comment is
necessary, but there are some points
that have come home to me from
talking to large groups of women the
past week hat 1 want to hand on.
It is not the housewives' food pref
udfces that we have to meet, but those
Of the family. Wife and mother has
always been perfectly willing to eat
almost anything-or nothing-so long
as husband and children were satis-
fed. Some husbands are inclined to
grumble over stews, and children,
who have done most of their growing
on wheat bread and potatoes, do not
take kindly to rice and corn instead.
The ever patient mother must help
her family over this period Of chang
ing food habits.

Mrs. Wilson WOrks.
Four dozen pairs Of pajamas and an
equal number of sheets and pillow
cases. the work Of Mrs. Woodrow Will
son and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones
for the American Red Cross, during
the past month, have been divided
equally and distributed to the Red
Cross societies Of England, France,
Italy and Canada.
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Bones have
been devoting much time to sewing
for the Red Cross, and their example
has been followed by women high in
official and diplomatic circles. Mrs.
Thomas R. Marshall, wife of the vice
president, organized the wives Of the
senators. and they have been meeting
weekly to sew for the Red Cross. Mrs.
Franklin K. Lane, wife of the secre-
tary of the interior, organized the
women of the interior department for
the same purpose, while Mrs. David
F. Houston, wife of the secretary of
the agriculture, is working along 9TH
er lines of Red Cross work.
In a letter to the British Red Cross
society regarding Mrs. Wilson'S han
diwork, Eliot Wadsworth, acting
chairman Of the central committee,
I'VE are sending you under sep
arate cover a bundle containing one
dozen pillow cases. three pairs Of pa
jamas and a half dozen sheets. These
supplies have. been made by Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones. Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Bones work with their own
hands on Red Cross supplies and have
sent to the American Red Cross for
distribution the product OF their first
months work, which is very material
in quantity.
THE American Red Cross sends
this special shipment to the British
Red Cross at the request Of Mrs. Will
son to evidence her active and most
practical interest in the work of mer-
cy and relief carried on by Red Cross
societies.
I'VE trust that the shipment will
reach you safely, as it carries with 1t
such cordial good wishes from the
immediate family Of the president OF
the United States"
Red Cross officials say that the en-
orInous quantities Of surgical Dress
ings and hospital supplies made by
the women Of the country, working in
Red Cross chapters, have all been
sent abroad and that an appeal for
renewed activity In this phase Of Red
Cross work had been sent out to all
chapters to provide these supplies
which will be needed in large quaint
ties.
