A STORY ABOUT YOU, MAYBE,


Time drags awfully on your hands.
You decide that you'll eat. Maybe
you'll eat just to kill time.
You bump your way through the
swaying cars and finally get seated
at table in b. & O., a S. p, a
l.. & n, or somcothcr old dining car,
pick up the beautiful flag decorated
program of victuals, and first thing
that catches you eye is:
Eat plcnty-Eat wisely-but with
out waste"
CHANGING down the list of prices,
YOU easily figure out why the dining
car company advises Eat Plenty,
and it puts an olive oil-beforc-break
fast taste in your mouth. But, there's
the Eat Wisely" Very we'll, you
viii ''cat wisely"
You look up at the. colored gentle
man who smilingly hanging upon your
every word and whose surcharge of
pOliteness stamps him as one of the
so cents per tip class, and say:
"Waiter, coffee, white bread toast
and wheat cakes" 1t means Is cents,
but Lord Caesar you've got to eat
something!
"Pained to the CO. of nah heart,
sah," says waiter, "but it's wheatless
day. Plenty of delicious con bread
and con cakes today, sab! Wa times,
sab! Got to save de wheat fo' de
French, sah."
Now, you want to rip and tear, and
cuss corn and convince yourself that
it's a shame to have to eat corn so
that those foreigners can eat wheat.
But, don't! Just take the walters
Johnnybread and flannel cakes, lick
your chops, and know that you're do
ing your bit in the war.
1t does look bit unjust to put
Americans on corn and let foreigners
feed on American wheat, but it is a
real war necessity, and, as you sit
there growing to yourself, you &C
cidently read in that dining car an
nopncement this, about those French
men lovet there fighting for your
home, yodr happiness, your country,
all we'll as their own:
'"They can, however, only absorb a
certain amount of corn for human
food, for, except in Italy, they have
never eaten cOrnbread and have nc
adequate mills, and, besides, house.
hold baking is lost art and corn.
bread cannot be distributed from the
bakeries. Therefore, they must have
wheat as the basis for their war loaf.
All this Is so. You know it. You
feel it. Hurrah for the French heroes!
Ihlrrah for the old flag! You for corn
huSks and corn cobs, if needs be
Aglo@, you9sbrihg up, you rush back
toward SbGr3OWn Car to telegraph
Iwife to buy 20 lbs. Of corn meal at
once
Hello there, you! Come back here!
You've forgotten to tip the waiter
who steered you up to doing bit OF
your bit in this war!

And in sunny tropc scenes,
You will find us always on the job

Wasted Food

IT HAT admirable suggestion which Charles
! Milhiser makes in letter printed in an
other column deserves the attentive con-
sideration OF all fraternal organizations.
The food waste involved in lodge suppers is
tremendous every year. Such suppers for
the most part are superfuous. Those who
consume them have no real need of food at
the hour at which the suppers are served.
They help merely to promote good fellowship.
and better fellowship-morc elevating and
enpoblinG-comcs from common sacrifice. We
must learn self-denial. The waste of food at
this crisis is crime. The raternal organi-
cations might set example which would
make the whole country their debtor
