CONSERVATION. OF FOODS.

In these days we hear a lot about
Conservation" Of all sorts of things
and only a few years ago if some learned
man had interjected that wofd in his
talk most folks would have wondered
what he meant. Ben Franklin was the
great teacher in this line but he never
called it conservation III
Conservation in its broad sense 10
simply economy and the latter term has
been familiar one since the world was.
But the new name is just about as easy
to pronounce Us the old one, and sounds
q little more novel to the ear, and there
fore calls the attention when perhaps
the old word would not suffice.
That conservation should just now ID
these war days bss the practice ot
everybody ID almost an hourly subject d
conversation ~ everybody. "A great
deal Of the talk however is rather hard

Some people think that this year of
high prices will never come down to the
former level. Perhaps not, but this
writer has lived long enough to see
prices as high or higher come down to a
very low level; has seen wheat drop
from about three dollars to fifty cents.
and now it is nearly back to former civil
war prices.
And here is closing thought, espec-
tally for those who were old enough to
take an interest in the famous "l6 to l."
political campaign, Commodities as
whole are no higher than they were
three years ago, 1t is not that commoui-
ties are high but that dollars are low
aud that is the real effect Of war. War
destroys the value Of the dollars be.
cause the value of currency depends
largely on the stability of the country
that issues it. and war affects stability.
Cheap dollars always mean plenty Of
dollars or vice versa. Plenty Of cheap
dollars mean high prices.

works adds fifty per cent as the war fig
.ures, and so on adinfinitum. Even the
hens now cackle "Con-Con ser-va- -tion''
instead of "cut-cut-ca. da cut" At least
the customer at the store hears no more
of "cut" prices on eggs these days.
Now, humor aside. for this is no
laughing matter with the householder
"conservation' is not only the question
Of the hour but it also has large brood
Eof questions that come along with it.
The,way Of lot of things are more than
nsost can understand. Does war make
people eat more? Does war make peo.
pie wear more? Do we build more hous-
es? Do we make more automobiles on
account of war? Were the drops less in
1917 than in 1915 or 1915?
Why should sugar be more expensive
this year than 1t was two yearsf Why
are I've threatened this very week of
being compelled to take only one lump
for our coffee when we want two Jumps.
because there is a shortage of sugar?
Do the soldiers get an extra quantity
because of the war?
Then there is another funny thing
about eatable. Comparatively speaking
the farmer can buy just as much sugar
for . bushei Of wheat as he could in
1915 But people who pay cash for both
or either article must pay double as
much.
Then there is coal. There is a short
age in, the coal and . corresponding in
crease in price and IN some localities
there Is no coal to be had at any price.
Yet Isst week the N. p. sent us some
itsms for publication among which was

the anthracite mines this year than they
did last year. This was in answer to

THE ITALIAN DISASTER.

It is too early at this writing to pro-
phesy the results OF the military disaster
in Italy.
[ 1t is not too early to see what it might
and may and does mean to the U. s.
First, it adds to the duration of the
war.
Second, it adds just SO much more for
America to do.
Third, 1t means Just that much more
Sbloodshed Of which and in which we
must share.
It adds IL great capital letters the
word MUST to our share in this awful
war. To some extent we had some
choice as to whether we should enter
the war. To greater extent we had
our option of the amount of assistance
we should give the entente allies. Now,
the great burden of this war falls on the
4 : h..
United States.
It IS up to the United States to stop
Germany.
Britain and France are the only real
forces now holding back Germany.
The Russian collapse has now included
Italy. France and Britain have already
strained their fighting powers to the
very extreme. It is up to.America. now.
It is possible now to think what it
would mean to US on this side OF the
water il by chance Of battle or political
revolution that France also failed. Then
this battle Of the world MUST be fought
by the British navy and United States
soldiers That is . possible situation
wlthin1the next few weeks or months. :.
That final success in such case would
be ours is practically certain, but the
cost in blood might be terrific. q

BROTHERS TEAR DOWN
STARS AND STRIPES
Remove American Flag From
House Front and Show De-
fiance When Arrested

Two brothers, who tore down American
flags from the home of Joseph f. House
worth 2935 West Lehigh avenue, were held
in heavy bail today by Magistrate Price.
Had he caught them in the act of taking
down the Stars and Stripes. Houseworth,
who is descendant OF an old Revolutionary
family, said he would have shot the pris'
oners on sight.
They gave their names as Joseph and
Adam Agnew, of COS wensley street. On
their way home early today they saw the
flags draped over the front nj the House.
worth home and, according to the police
pulled them down to show their contempt
the flags at Twenty-fourth street and lie.
high avenue. On being questioned they
refused to say where they got them and
laughed at the bluecoat when informed they
were under arrest. Miles blew whistle
and Private Watchman Esrey aided him
in taking the brothers to the Ridge and
Midvale avenues station.
They asserted they had no intention OF
desecrating the flags, but nevertheless could
give no reason for taking them.
Houseworth said if the prisoners were
actuated by patriotic motives he would buy
two flags for them.
The two brothers refused to make any
comment.
'If they were taken down in a spirit Of
disrespect," said Houseworth, II would have
shot both Of YOU" At this the brothers
flushed and hung their heads.
The Magistrate held each in $1,000 bail
for a further. hearing.

You looked scared" Mr.. Gratz told him.
II feel like saying to you" Doctor Cow

Phil Sheridan said TO his first lieutenant
who jeered at the general at the beginning
of n battle for ducking when the first shot
went over his head.
"'If you felt as scared as ! did" the
General retorted only more profanely,
you'd have run"
Back in his office Doctor Gowing de-
clared that the fears of many OF the con-
rervatives interested in the Girls High
School, that he might do away with the
classical studies TO make way for the more
modern educational ideas as laid down by
DIR. Charles Eliot and Abraham Flexner,
were entirely groundless

and tendencies" he said 'and am in SYM
pathy with much that is new. but I still
believe that nothing as yet has been found
to supp,ant the major subjects in the cur
rculum. Perhaps it will be necessary to
take new viewpoint of the old subjects.
II is quite probable that some of the old
methods VIII need changing and reorga niy-
ing. but this school stands in a so.caIled
general way for traditional culture. and I
shall no nothing to disturb It. Any changes
that make VIII be very, very gradual"
