STATES HOTEL Men
Conserving WHEAT
Challenge to Private Families to
Follow Example Is Made by
Associations Head.

Attention was called by President
Charles 4. Carrigan of the New Jer-
sry Hotel Association at Il recent
meeting to the fact that hotels of the
first class in New Jersey are consistent
co-operators wit the United States
Food Commission in the conservation
of wheat and that they have gladly
gone the limit" This limit is the to-
tai exclusion of VIII t and wheat prod
ucts from their menus.
Hotels in cities, those along the
shore and others in the mountain re-
sorts of the state were included in the
propaganda. Although the railroads
we're not represented at the confer
nee, it was made known that wheat
has been eliminated from their cater
ing services.
"'rhe wheat campaign" said Mr..
Carrigan, who is head of he Hotel
and Restaurant Division of the Food
Administration in New Jersey, with
Headquarters in Newark, was ordain-
ed by a wise man-one made visa
through an experience afforded to few,
and it is for good Americans to profit
hy thai experience and be good SOL
diers and obey a wise leader. 1t is in
that spirit the hotels which have been
rated in the first class have acted.
He is saving the wheat for my boy
and for your boy over there but, so
far as use of wheat as a food is con-
eerned. it would be no misfortune If
within a very limited time we we're
compelled to subsist on other cereals
than wheat in any FORM
George Kerr of Atlantic City said
that. while some hotel people at first
had been disinclined to concur in the
wheatless program. s"ey proved them
selves as good soldiers as their fell
lows and obeyed orders.
Now" continued MIR. Kerr, tive
know that we can do without wheat.
In the hotel with which an affiliated
there is not an ounce of wheat used.
We have found that in a very short
time the guests become used to the
no wheat regimen and l have proved
that there is no foundation for he
fear that if we eliminated wheat we

IDENTIFY are good Americans.
'Sometimes I have become inclined
TO think that the American millers
have 'kidded' us into assuming that we
could not do without wheat. AT any
rate, a%bstentiOn from it by us at home
is a very small sacrifice to ask when
it is compared with the sacrifices OF
the men who have gone to the front"
Similar sentiments were e~nunciated
bv Alonzo r. Parsons of Asbury Park,
Fred c. Ball of Montclair, George At
wood of Pompton Plains and Mrs. e.
A. Preston of Jersey City. In a sum-
ming up of the situation Mr.. C%arrigan
expressed belief that if private fami-
lies adhered as strictly to the spirit of
the federal food regulations as the
first class hotels do enormous fncre-
ents of wheat would be available for
export. Meanwhile the hotels have
the consciousness of a 100 per cent.
performance of patriotic duty.
Buyers of Thrift Stamps are 100 per
cent patriotic also.

Saved 10000 Barrels of Flour.

The Food Administration of Ken
lucky estimates hat the people of
Kentucky saved 10000 barrels of flour
by eating potatoes during their recent
potato week" In this state the Fed
eral Food Administration continues to
urge consumption of the old crop po-
tatoes. Some city people who bought
new potatoes have returned to the use
of the old ones because the taste and
composition of them is better than
the new. Taste, therefore, as well as
patriotic compliance with the plans of
the Food Administration, are working
to the same rehabilitation of the
old stock.
Purchase of Thrift Stamps is utili-
tartan as we'll as patriotic.

The "Nose Shaper"

For the latter purpose there are a number OF
recent inventions, curiously interesting A nose
shaper' is one of them. 1t is patented by Ignatius
Soares of birmingham, Mass, who describes his
contryance as meant especially for altering and
improving the shape of fiat noses, onesided noses.
upurned noses and noses with distended nostrils.'
One should realize that the nose is plastic
organ, at least in young people. A girl begins
life with practically no nose at all. In childhood
which makes up the bulk of a nose does not be-
come really hard until after adult years are
reached.
Nowadays the average young woman begins to
entertain aspirations to beauty early in her teens.
Then is the time to use the noseshaper, while as
yet the cartilage is soft. She cannot alter the
size Of the organ, but she can modify its form.
Would she have a classic GreCian nose? The
ambition is at least measurably within her reach.
The contriyance here referred to consists most

thin enough to be bent easily. 1t is lined for
comfort with chamois skin and has a projecting
tongue which, when bent into position, clamps the
bottom of the nose and helps to hold the device
in place. Also, if desired, it may press upon the
cartilage between the nostrils and so reshape the
bottom of the nose
The nose-pece, duly adjusted, is held in place
by bands or tapes sewn to the chamois skin lining.
These are buckled behind the neck of the wearer.

The tying Of this mystic message to some pos
session OF your beloved will cause her TO follow
you to the end OF the world.
But should you find it impossible to get a
quill from Il raven perhaps it would be easier to
obtain one from an eagle; in which case you should
draw blood from the ring finger as before and in.
scribe this romantic prayer:
by the power Of heaven mayest thou love me,
woman As the sun follows its course mayest
thou follow me. As light to the eye, as bread to
the hungry, as joy to the heart, may thy presence
be to me, oh, woman that l love, till death comes
TO rend us asunder."
Now, l ask you, was there ever woman, be
she ever so modern, who could fail to be moved by
such an appeal? If such there be, there would be
little use in trying this more gentle spell, though
il. possesses many evident advantages. Take a
sprg Of mint and crush it-no, not with ice-in
your hand until it is soft and moist, then take
the not too reluctant hand of the one you love and
clasp it in sympathetic silence for 10 minutes, the
mystic mint lying between your palms the while.

LOVE CHARMS IN OLD IRELAND

IN the face of it March can hardly be asso-
ciated with love. It is harsh, bleak, un.
~ pleasant month in much Of America with
never a flower as a reminder that spring is near
while love seems to belong to roses and lilies and
sweetscented yolets, blooming beneath blue sun
shiny skies But, sure, there is always sunshine
where the heart is young and love brings wonder
full flowers to life and where in all the world will
you find more youthful or loving hearts than in
the green island across the water where the sham
rock sparkles beneath the dew on St Patricks day?
He, good celibate saint, had little enough to
do with love, but there is small fear of its ever
going out of fashion with the people he blessed;
not that he would want it either, for had he been
a mere stern apostle with never a human feeling
or a twinkle Of humcr in his composition he would
never have become the patron saint Of the Irish!
Being Scotch, the best the good man could do
in the way of joke was TO make q pun. So we
are told that when he was driving the snakes out
of Ireland one big monster began to weep and
wall for even the brutes are loath to leave that
land of beauty! Well, ST. Patrick having tender
heart, was moved by the grief Of the reptile and
told him he could stay in the depths of a lake
up in the Gatee mountains.
But how long am / to be drowning there%
asked the unfortunate snake.
And Patrick answered. Until La-an-Luan.'
Now in the Gaelic tongue Laan-Luan means
either the Day Of Judgment or more generally
Monday, so the snake went away happy thinking
he could put up with watery bed for a week.
And every now and then, it is believed the fooled
snake lifts his head out Of the waters and calls
out, That Monday is long acoming, Patrick
| am only telling this to show that st. Patrick
had a soft heart and could make pun when it
was to "soother" the unfortunate so you can
understand how tolerant he would be with the
vagaries of the lovelorn and why this is a good

How Noses Are Modified

Once in position, the nosepiece IS bent into
the shape desired for the nose. If the organ is
too fat it is pinched outwardy; il onesided, the
metal is made to press against the side toward
which it turns, and, if tiptilted, the end Of it
may " pushed downward. Slight but continuous
pressure is relied upon TO accomplish the wished
for result
The noseshaper is worn at night and there is
no serious discomfort, says the inventor. For an
illustration open to everybodys observation of
the maleability of the nasal organ, Mr.. Soares
calls attention to the fact that owing to the habit
of wping and blowing the nose with the right
hand the human proboscis in nearly every indi-
vidiua points markedly east
Perfect noses are not often seen, but beautl-
full mouth--the feature on which expression mainly
depends--is rarer yet. Hence the reason for de-
vice newly patented by Estele Hannig OF San
Mateo, Cal. 1t is hard-rubber plate, made in one
piece, and shaped to the mouth and face Of the
wearer
The plate is fashioned in such wise as to fit over

That strikes me as a really excellent sort of
charm, but there is still another.

DuIter' then in the presence of mill a stream and
uee' give it to your loved one whispering softly
in her ear:
Oh woman, loved by me- mayest tbou give ma

own lalr hands and as she offers it to her loved
one whispers in her secret heart:
"Me for thee and thee for me and for no other

man of my heart"
That is all she asks, that he may be for her
she for him-a fair exchange. indeed
Supposing that the love charms have worked
as charms should and the valiant lover is bound
for over there is there none to secure his con-
stahcy in the face of temptation to keep his lovs
forever in memory? OF course there is. for fbs
fairies would never dream of such omission
Lover and sweetheart must go out into the
open together and there in the presence of grass
trees, water and clear sky knee down. Then
drawing few drops Of blood from the left wrist
of each, they must mingle their blood, while tbs
girl says:
MAY the trees whisper of me to you whereso
ever you go, and If there be no trees, but only the
open fields, may the grass call out my name Or
if it is on the wide waters you will be going NAV
they tell of me and, though you should 20 out into
the desert places without water or growing thing
may the sky above tell you ever of my truth anf
love until death comes to you or to me- Amen"
These are just a few of the old charms of Ire
land, the land which, before the coming of st
Patrick was known as the Isle of Mystery and o
Destiny, and which even in these prosaic days still
clngs to the romance and mysticism of the past.

There are apertures, Of course, for the eyes,

being filed with the requisite medcament The

grown-ups were talking, the baby
crept on the floor. Suddenly there
was loud bump and wild wall. 1t
came from the direction of the piano.

his knees and CROPPED under the piano
for his injured offspring. Presently
he returned.
"He fell down and bumped his head

bump?" asked one of the guests.
"No," he answered. fortunately
his head hit the soft pedal." Tit Bits.
