But I have omitted the conra- geous fighting of the ether Allies lhey fought and held out to the end when Germany surrendered to Will sol peace terms. Lots of people think that now as the war is over they have oohe all there is to do, but think of all the Doys over there and all of the the httle orphans that must have food ihey are starving while We are feast Ing. Ii we want our boys to come nome we must sent the money that they may live to get back.
 rms week is Food Conservation week. Wilson helped us get our boys over there now think we should help nm get them back home. Also we should help the foreign children that they may not suffer. They did their bits as we'll as we did ours. and we should save food for them every day. Also I'm giving a few donts.
 Don't put more food on your plate than you can eat
 Don't cook more food than neces- sary.
 :" Don't throw away food that was not eaten at dinner. Save it for the next meal.
 Don't buy expensive food for your Xmas party or dinner. Buy simple food and send the other money over seas to thin up-lifted hand begging for some bread. The chief word of the time is-SAVE."'

CROSSING THIN ICE.
Before Nenturing Upon Insecure Sur
face Slender Pole Should BE Secured

lace SieflueT lOlC should lie Secured.
All outdoors: Before venturing on
hin ice cut a long and slender pole, to
be carried as a rope dancer does his
balancing pole. If the ice gives way
under your weight, the pole will reach
across the opening and help you to get
1ut.
If your leg breaks through the ice
and there is snow handy, rub snow on
your trousers; it will absorb the water
instantly and keep it from soaking
through the cloth.
Ice is thickest where there Is little
'urrent; 50 keep away from the
lowing parts Of a stream whenever
possible. If crossing lake, look out
for arholes.
In the fall and spring, or in thawing
winter weather ice that is too thin
to bear your weight in daytime Will be
CHECKER between the hours Of midnight
md daybreaR.
When obliged to cross treacherous ice
bridge may be formed by laying down
reeds or boughs and pouring water over
them to freeze until the, mass is thick
enough to bear you.
If you have a heavy pack do not
carry it across thin ice on your back,
but tie line to it and drag it after
YOU; or cut the fork Of a sapling, leav-
ing short stub just above the work.
trim the two ends for runners. lash
YOUR pack on this "scoot." and hitch a
hort rope, belt, or twisted withe to the
stub to drag by.
