Every woman in the country is called upon to inspire, encourage and urge the men of her family to perform their patriotic duty" on registration day, in an appeal issued today by Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of the Woatan's Committee of the Council of National Defense.
 "This is the service of sacrifice and loyalty which the government asks of the men of the nation at the present critical hour," says Dr. Shaw.
 "You have tirelessly sold Liberty Bonds, Thrift and War Savings Stamps; you have eagerly and with infinite patience produced and con- served food; you have been unwear- ing in the service of the Red Cross and relief societies; you have re- cruited young women by the thous- ands for our civilian, and army nurses training schools, and in num- berless ways you have rendered volun- tary service for the material support of the war.
 "But of what avail is 1t that we have money, food, ships, munitions and hospital supplies if we fail to mobilize a sufficiently large army to win the war;"

ARIZONA HOUSEWIFE
 SOLVES PROBLEM OF
 SUGAR DISTRIBUTION

FLAGSTAFF, Sept. 6.-One Ari. zona patriotic housewife has found a new way to conserve sugar that does not have to be enforced, but is entire ly optional with the members of the family.
 Each I.ison of the family is given his or her portion of sugar each day. He can eat all of it at one meal if he so desires, but that means going with out entirely for the other two meals.
 Whenever enough sugar is saved from the table supply she promises to make cake or a pie with the savings. In this way there is a reward ahead which is ever tempting the younger consevationists to greater efforts.

THE DALLES, Ore, Sept. G. French girls have a way of rising to the emergency.
 Sergeant Jerry Gerard writes home of an instance.
 A wounded American was brought into dressing station. but in the rush the station had run out of an- aesthetics. Yet a serious operation must be performed at once.
 The dainty French nurse sized up the situation. She bent down and kissed the wounded American and then rested her cheek against his dirty, bearded face. With the girls arm about his shoulder the American rall- jed and the operation was successfully performed.

MEAT RESTRICTIONS ARE }
 RELEASED FOR PRESENT

The United States Food Adminis- tration issues the following. The extreme drought in Texas, Ok lahoma, and other sections of the Southwest, which also affects Mon- tana and certain areas in adjacent States in the Northwest, is endahger- | ing the meat herds in these great cattle producing sections. As an i'm mediate result the present cattle runs are 50 per cent heavier than in the corresponding period of last year. The larger part of this stock is below the desirable market weights and would normally remain on the ranges until it had attained larger growth. So far as it practicable these cattle are being moved to sections where conditions of grass, grain and water are more favorable. The surplus must, however, be handled.
 The Food Administration, there fore, is for the present releasing the meat restrictions. This is about one month earlier than was originally con- templated. It is desired, however, to continue the same careful regard for economy in beef and in all essential foods as a measure to safeguard the future.
 There is always liberal run of the lighter cattle at this season of the year, but the present supply is ex- cessive. Practically all of the heavier : and fatter cattle are more needed for export purposes for our own armed forces and those of our allies because, on account of their thickness and fatty covering, they are less sub ject to deterioration during transfer from cars to ships and freezers when they are not protected by refrigera- tion.
 In resembling regulations which prohibited public eating places from serving beef niore than once day and in releasing the householders from their voluntary agreement to curtail purchases to 11s pounds per week, in cluding bone, the Food Administra- tion requests that this freer use of beef be restricted so far as practica- ble to the cattle which dress under 475 pounds. To achieve this the re- tail meat markets are asked to spec ialize in the use of these lighter cat tie, and families and patrons of all public eating places are requested to periodically accept beef of this weight even though they have heretofore been accustomed to using the heavier beef only.
 The desire of the Food Administra- ton at present is not primarily to> in crease the conservation of beef as a whole, but to induce a preference in favor of the lighter weight cattle, of which we have an abnormal surplus. This will bring about conservation of the heavier cattle needed for our sol diers and for export to our allies. At the same time it will afford a measure of protection through increased out let for cattle raisers in the drought afflicted areas.
