ANY WOMAN TO ANY MAN

cannot use the bayonet or sword.
NOR take the life that it is mine to give;
MY spirit dares-but, ah, my flesh Is weak.
And you-you would not have 1t other

woman's strength lies not in force Of
arms
In loving me, you love my weakness, too.
mat challenges manhood of the race
TO fierce protection of its womankind.
So you must go. and must stay. For
you
The mighty exultation of the fight
The wild exhilaration of the fray:
For me. to ply the task that once was
yours
And fill your place as best can. at home.
But. now that you are gone, all men
All, all! My heart is filled with bitter
hate
To see a man. still young enough to fight
Doing the work that women well might
do
Away. away. and let us drive the car.
AND run the engine-yes, and mine the
coal!
Think not that when white Peace shall
come again.
Like morning after nightmare. we shall
wish
10 keep the places only held for YOU
All, never, never shall our homes afford
A sweeter shelter than when war shall
cease;
The household tasks once tiresome, then
shall be
As altar service I'm sanctuary
Where you and I, and many more. please
God,
Shall break the bread of life with tremu-

And taste the wine of life with tremu-

Remembering those who left home like

And now have gone to the great Home of

Value of Entertainment
of Soldiers Proved When
Band Is Sent From U. S.

letter recently received in this
country from Col William Hayward,
former New York public service COM
missioner, illustrating the value of en-
tertainment for soldiers, describes the
sensation produced in France by a
negro band from the United States,
whose membership also included mu-
sicians from Cuba and Porto Rico. The
cost of organizing the band and send
ing it to France was $4,000, which
was paid by Daniel g. Reid.
When subscriptions were being
raised Mr.. Reid was 1.-THE first man
asked to- contribute. He asked the to-
tai amount required, and when told
$4,000, he is said to have remarked:
I'll pay the whole check"
/, The band is headed by Lieutenant
Europe, who before the war days CON
Quoted the orchestra of the Forty
fourth street theater roof. Colonel
Hayward in his letter also said:
"a lot of things are no fun. and one
year ago | would have thought them
uncomfortable. But what heather we
will he when it is all Overt shall
not know how to act in polite society
or what to do with the ordinary para
phernalia of civilization, like toilets,
baths, club chairs Umbrellas are OBJ
solete. Do they still have them any
where? Rain means nothing but a
little bit-not much-deeper mud
Still nobody has any kick to squeal
about, and all hands are so pleased
to think they weren't left at home out
OF this beautiful party that optimism
reigns supreme. OF course we know
absolutely nothing about the war or
how it's going except in our own little
neck of the woods, and really don't
care.
Our band is the most wonderful
thing over here. ! don't believe any
money ever bought as much pleasure
and happiness for human beings as
did Daniel G. Reds in this instance"

Widows Pensions.

An act of congress of October 8,
1917, provided that from and after it's
passage 'the rate of pension for wild

army, navy or marine corps of the Unit
ed States who served in the Civil war.

insurrection, now on the pension roll
or hereafter to be placed on the pen
sion roll, and entitled to receive less
rate than hereinafter provided, shall
be construed to affect the additional
allowance provided by existing pension
laws on account of helpless child or
child under sixteen years of age" This
law made $25 month the uniform
rate for all soldiers widows then on
the pension rolls at less than that rate
or who should thereafter be placed on

We know how Russia feels, becauga

Hoosier Pie Is Made Without
Use of Lard or Wheat Flour

Mrs. G. G. Olmstead, residing near
Evansville, Ind, is the originator of
the Hoover pie" and her success was.
such that many Of the other women
of the neighborhood are introducing
the pie to their families. Not bit of
lard or a particle of wheat flour is
used in making the pie. The pie is
made by beating three eggs well with
half a cupful of sugar and half cup-
full of graham flour. A little salt and
some fiavoring are added. The nix
ture is then stirred into a pint of milk
and the pie is ready for the oven. No
crusts are made. The mixture is
poured into a well-greased pan and
baked. The graham flour in the mix
ture forms lower crust and when
the pan is removed from the oven It
contains custard pie which carries
all the fisvar of the oltl-faShioned kind
and yrt defies The strictesi test of the
food administration The algln may be
creased v.iili any iFina of meat grease.
A Substitute Tor sugar may be used.

WastefuIness Is Sinful; 1t
Is a Crime When the Nation
Calls for Thrift-Pointers.

The lover of thrift is often confront
ed by directions for household econ.
omy emanating, as trial shows, from
abstract, rather than practical, domes-
tic science. Try these suggestions
from an old-fashioned New England
housewife:
/. Eggs are not needed for a rice
pudding.
2. Milk is not needed in cake made
with baking powder.
3. Milk is not needed for any kind
of whole wheat bread. Even when
milk abounds and is cheap, water Is
preferable.
A. Half, or even quarter, of a yeast
cake will raise good amount of bread
for baking.
3. "War Cake" which calls for a
package of raisins and much shorten
ing is not economical.
6. Do not allow servant to throw
out remnants of shredded wheat left
in the bottom of the box. More than
a cupful is often so lost.
z. An unstrained soup made from
remnants of yesterdays meat makes a
good meal. No meat course is re-
CURED Herewith.
8. Are you careful to make as
many pies as possible from one
squash?
8. Are you careful to allow every
bit of the white to drain, or to scrape
it, from an egg which you break?
10. Neither broken crackers nor
the crumbs in the bottom of the box
should be thrown away. Use them
for fish, oysters, etc.
IL. Memoranda of all sorts, as well
as rough drafts of Mss, may be kept
on pieces of wrapping paper. This is
the kind of economy which good house
wives practiced during the Civil war.
II. Remember that the old New
Englander considered wastefulness,
even among the rich, sinful. 1t is
crime when the nation calls for thrift.

China-Home of Diseases.

4 The national health of China con-
Germs the whole world. The Black
Death of the fourteenth century which
destroyed twenty million lives in Eu-
rope was China's contribution to the
most tragic page of English and
French and italian history in the mid
die ages. The horror of that slaughter
of the innocents has not been forgot
ten to this day. China has in all his
tory been the great plague spot in the
world. The bubonic plague, which Is
still being fought in California and
Louisiana, came from China. Five
years ago, the pneumonia plague de-
stroyed fifty thousand lives in three
months in Manchuria, and threatened
to sweep the world. China is the ma
tive home of smallpox.-World's Work

Rest Rooms For
Rural Women

Rest rooms have been established in
more than 200 counties in the United
States to meet the needs of the coun-
| try woman in town on business. They

| department of agriculture, where the
! farm woman has right, without ask

for rest and refreshment. They have
been established by women's rural or
| CARNATIONS in cooperation with other
local organizations, with individuals,
and with village, town, or county au-
thorities; by business corporations
operating private city markets, and
lby individual merchants. Where farm
women's organizations have been in
terested in establishing rest rooms, To-
cal farm women's clubs have been able
to arouse the necessary community in
terest In the need for rest rooms to in
sure their financial support. This has
been done through cooperating with
other local farm women's clubs, with
organizations OF women in town, with
civic leagues, with chambers of COM
merce, and with county agents.
In cooperating with other clubs in
establishing a rest room, any local
farm woman's club may take the ini-
tiative. Opportunity is given at club
meetings for discussing the need for
rest room, and other local clubs may
be asked to arrange similar discus
sions. Such cooperation is facilitated
in rural communities where local clubs
meet together for joint sessions three
or four times year.
Through their organizations town
and country women have co-Operated
in providing rest ROBINS near railroad
stations, where the waiting-rOom IA
cilities at the stations were made
quate. They have co-operated in estab-
fishing libraries which provide conve-
nient and adequate rest rooms for town
and country women. Aroused commu-

Frequently rest rooms are provided

How Germans Destroyed
the Forests and Orchards
in Belgium and France

Apart from their cruelty to human
beings, one Of the worst offenses per-
petrated by the Germans in Belgium
and that part of France which they
have overrun is the destruction of
trees, notes the Indianapolis Star.
Wantonly to destroy orchards and for
est trees as they have. done for the
purpose of making desert of the land
that had been like a garden is a crime
against civilization. In Belgium they
cut the forests. not as they cut their
own. where only a certain number Of
trees are allowed to be felled each
year. but sweepingly, leaving the land
tienuded. A hundred years will be
needed to restore these forests, and
trees are needed for the welfare Of
every land.
In this country we have been too
careless with our forests; they have
not been protected as they should be
since the pioneers first cleared enough
of them away to make the farms. Now
we are beginning to realize their value

not only as direct source of revenue,
but as an aid In conserving moisture
Tor cultivated lands and also as a
source of beauty. And il one wishes
to look at the matter commercially.
beauty of landscape is in these DAYS
recognized as distinct and valuable
asset. There is needed more trees
and wider and better understanding
among the people as to what may and
should be done in the way of planting
trees and improving forests.
1t is among young people that this
interest in trees must be cultivated !:
they must learn the Importance of or
chards and forests and if love for
trees can be inculcated it will prove
itself in years to come by many tree
that is a glory to the land.

potato Yeast Bread.

Take three cupfuls of hot mashed
potato, firmly packed when measured,
two teaspoonfuls each of salt, fat and
sugar, half yeast cake dissolved in
a fourth of a cupful of luke-warm wa
ter, and six cupfuls of wheat flour.
Put third of cupful of hot water
with the salt, fat and sugar in bowl,
add the potato, mix well; add the
yeast and one cupful of flour; knead
or stir in the flour at first, adding one
cupful at time; it will be very stiff
at the last, but with good kneading it
will be smooth. The second kneading,
because of the moisture in the potato,
will be soft; add no more flour.
When it is light, knead into lOaves and
when again light, bake in a moderate
oven one hour. This makes two loaves
of moist palatable bread. And pota-
toes contain about so per cent water,
if no water is used, four cupfuls of
-four will be sufficient, but it will take
patience to knead it, but the results
will be good.
