Ten years from now the man
who writes a history Of

probably divide it into four
cras-Multi-p rice, One
price, Bargain and Service.
'&st now we're living on
the border line between
Bargain and Service. The
former is breathing its
last, although every now
and then it flames up
under some mighty slim
! ulant. Service is gaining
strength and favor daily.
his store will-in future
i ycars-be remembered as
among the first exponents
of the Service era. We
| believe that only through
Service can any orgaRiza-
tion live and prosper.
I course, this does not
mean that there will be no
more special offerings, for
as long as stores last,
there will be special pur-
chaScs and the like.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS OF I'M.

British Withdrawing From Advanced
Positions ON Struma River and En-
tire Forces Active ut Other Places
Russian Army and Navy BccOm-
ing Active.

War developments Of some import
ance are apparently Impending on
the Macedonian front, following the
clarification of the military situation in
Greece, coincident with the abdication
of King Constantine. The most pro-
nounced movement Is that the British
are withdrawing. without pressure.
from their advanced positions along
the Struma river and the pronounced
accommodating activity by entente
forces at other places. notably along
the varda river. Military observers
have frequently pointed out that the
only practicable route for q successful
advance to cut the lines of the GEN.
trail powers and reclaim Serbia would
be up the vardar valley. Had this
been decided upon It would seem nat
ural for the British to retire from
their advance positions along the
Struma.
Both the Russian army and navy
are giving more evidence o. activity
according to German statements.
After heavy German attacks this
morning the British abandoned q
newly won position in northern
France. but held the main position,

direct the Red Cross campaign in

OF particular interest last night
was the eloquent appeal for the or

minister from Washington. DR.. Wood
urged that, like the Romans, this was
q time when none should be for the

ignore party and factional differ

ministration will consist of th d.
tional shield. surrounded by heads oil
wheat. and we hope to have the
shield displayed In every home In the
United States.
I'VE have the promise Of support
from many hundreds of womens or
sanizations in the recruiting of our
membership.
with the assistance Of various
tra3sed women In the country we are
formulating committees on domestic
economy. and from leaders in the
subject OF nutrition we are organiz-
ing committees Of food conservation
and utilization and we propose with
their advice to furnish information
from time to time to the members of
the administration as to the manner
In which they can best serve the ma
tional interest In food conservation.
We have six general principles of in
struction:
First. To save wheat. II we eat
as usual from our harvest this year
we will have little more than enough
for our own supply. but we can divide
with our allies IL each individual
makes some sacrifice; by eating at
least one wheatless meal a day, sub
stituting cornbread or other cereals.
Second. We want to save the meat,
for our cattle and hogs are decreas-
ing. and we must send to our allies,
SO we wish every house to buy less.
Third we wish to have the fats.
We consume three times the fats that
are necessary for nutrition and we
need them now for war. We wish no
butter used In cooking; we want less
butter served on the table; we want
less lard, bacon and other pork
products used.
Fourth. Any deficiencies in food
supply. by economy along the above
lines. can be amply covered by in
creasing the use of fish. potatoes,
leans. peas. turnips. cabbages anu
vegetables generally.
Fifth. We want to save transporta-
tion. Our railways are unable to meet
the war pressure for munitions, men
and coal 80 that we wish every one to
consume products Of local origin so
far as possible.
aside from eating an increased
proportion of these commodities In
order to save on the staples, 1t is ex =
tremely important that surplus Of
these commodities shall be preserved
or well stored for winter use.
Sixth. We preach and want every
one TO preach the gospel Of the clean
plate:' to buy less foodstuffs. to serve
smaller portions and to see that moth
ing Of value goes into the garbage
can"
