FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical
IL Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought defeat threatens Hungry men cannot hght
at their best nor hungry nations. France England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them
Wheat Savngs-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. BY saving just little
less than quarter of what ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
hour of our need 1t has given corn in such bounty
never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For a great section OF our country 1t
has blong the staff of life. How well the South
fought it, history tells. Now it can help America
win a world war.
Learn Something-Com! 1t isn't food. It's a
dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable. It's bread.
It's dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar than meat or eggs or most other
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corns Infinite Variety-How much do you know about

This will entail but a small eff
fort on the young people and will
be doing real war work. A good
plan would be for the young
folks in each community to form
writing clubs and meet weekly
to write letters. This method
would enable them to discuss the
matter and see that all of the
soldier boys received letters and
would enable them to change so
that the boys would get letters
each week from different persons
and would insure a letter a week
to each boy. Think of the inev-

DEFENDS LOWER BIRTH-RATE
Writer in Leading Scottish Publication
Sees No Cause for Alarm in
Its Continuance.

This is the rule of evolution-fever
offspring, a longer period of infancy.
and more careful parental care. Wher-
ever one looks in the animal kingdom
he finds that rule working, a writer in
the Edinburgh Review points out.
Among fishes, species that exhibit
no sort of parental care, the average
of 40 gives 100000 eggs to n female
each year; while among those which
make nests or any apology for nests
the number is only about 10000.
Coming down through human history
one finds the same law working.
Among savage or semicivilized peoples
the birthrate is very high, as is also
the deathrate through enemies and dis
ease. But, as fast as civilization makes
it's influence felt, the result is seen in
n lowered birthrate, accompanied by
better care of the fewer children who
are born.
Havelock Ellis recently pointed out
that the nations in Europe which were
most ready and eager for war-Ger-
many, Russia, Serbia, Austria-are the
countries of highest birthrate, and
hence of greatest economic pressure.
And he adds: "Those who would seek
TO restore the birthrate of half a CEN
fury ago are engaged in task which
would be criminal if it were not based
on ignorance and which is in any case
fatuous."

At The Republic Tonight.

Marie Beaupre was an extremely
beautiful Alsatian girl, so it was no
srprise when Louis La Fargo, famous
when he met her in the mountains
where he had gone on a painting trip.
And Marie fell in love with him, and
when Louis deserted her and her rel
atiyes and friends discovered her Sc
cret, Marie was cast from her home
and forced to live in the mountains as
best she could
All this trouble deranged Marie's
mind. She became known as THE
Witch Woman" and whenever any
thing happened that the mountaineers
couldn't explain, they blamed it on
Mariea nd cursed her for ii.
Finally Marie was taken to Paris
by a doctor who became interested in
her case and there her mentality was
restored Later Marie again met Louis
and also came in contact with his
twin brother, Maurice, who looked ex-
actly like Louis. Many thrilling and
surprising events followed these
meetings and all of the occurrences
so to make one of the most entertain
ing photoplays seen in long time
The Republic Theatre takes pleas
ure in announcing the appearance on
it's screen of THE Witch Woman. :"
Ethel Clayton is the star. "The Witch
Woman" is World-Picture and is a

Knitting, Revived Art.

knitting, as handicraft, almost
universal among our grandmothers,
and now being revived by women all
over the world, received its death
blow from the invention of Isaac WIKI
an Lamb, who was born in Salem,
Mich about rs years ago.
Lambs invention Of the knitting
machine. the first perfected apparat-
us of its kind, transformed the art of
knitting from home occupation to a
great manufacturing industry. His
machine is capable of producing more
than 30 varieties Of knit goods and
makes 1900 loops q minute at ordi-
nary speed, turning out both fiat and
tubular work Later inventors have
worked improvements in the process.
AS one result of the war knitting
needles are again in vogue. and their
click may now be heard in the homes,
in the theaters, in the street cars and
every other place. In all probability,
however home knitting will pass with
the years.

CRUELTY NOT FEMININE VIC :
Unfair to Lay Individual Cases of
ThoughtIessnecs at the Door of
the Entire Sex.

An official of the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami.
mails complains of "cruel women who
come TO the meetings of the society
wearing aigrettes of the plumage of
birds that are obtained by the slaugh-
ter of the mother bird and the starva-
ton OF the brood"
On this solid foundation of fact one
might feel secure in concluding that
women are, as a sex, more cruel than
men.
All eyes have seen the women with
the bird on her hat. She wears this
particular badge of her cruelty where
it cannot escape being seen and for the
sole reason that it may be seen.
But is it not unfair TO condemn wom-
en- as utterly cruel because of this one
fault? After all, it is not so much
fault as q frailty. Women's vanity is
an overpowering passion, and If they
must feed it upon the plumage of
slaughtered birds, are they any worse
than men who glut their greed upon
the fruits of others life-crushing toll?
Cruelty is really a very infrequent
vice among women. Even bird-wearing
is far from being universal among
them. 1t is impossible not to remem-
Der that the whole structure of the
movement on behalf of humanity to all
creatures which has reached greater
proportions in this country than in any
other, is founded in the first instance
on the Observation-Disclosures of American
women. 1t would be interesting TO
know how for the S. p. G. A. movement
would ever have progressed but for
the inspiration and enthusiasm that
have come from women.-Christian
