FAMINE SUCCEEDS BULLETS

Millions of starving women and children in Europe are looking
to the people of America TO feed them. The fighting is over, but
famine, mother of anarchy, is still lowering over the world.
Millions of Russians, the experts report, must certainly die this
winter of starvation. How many more, the people of America
especially r good housewives-must determine. The poor of Po-
land, Finland, Armenia and the Czecho+Slavs are starving. The
whale war-wreckcd world looks to America for food.
All the food of the world is practically in a common pot. Sta
tisticians know where every pound is located and what shipping and
other manipulation is needed to distribute it to the best advantage.
There is not enough for everyone, even if no one buys or con
slmes more than he or she needs.
Because the United States is one of the great repositories of
food, and because the shipping facilities from this country are in
better shape than in almost any other zone, we must do more than
our share.
last year. This year the pledge of the United States to Europe is
20,000000 tons. We must save-that is, not use-two thirds more
food than we did last year. 1t is a great promise, and only possible
of fulfilment if the housewives of America exert all that they have
of perseverance and thrift.
1t is no longer a question of substituting certain foOdstufs for
others. Vegetable oil for butterY There is as great a shortage of
vegetable oil as of the dairy product. Coarse grains, instead of
wheat? There is really more wheat than coarse grains, comparative
ly speaking, but no more than a supply of each. Sugar is scarce,
but the sugar substitutes n scarcer.
The housewife who plans carefully, not for a campaign of a day
or a week, nor to save one special kind of provender, but who
pledges herself to a program of daily food saving, carried out with
the same devoted enthusiasm that has characterized the American
women throughout the whole struggle, will certainly do her part in
the great reconstruction period that is to come.
Save a human life by saving food in your home!

ed to contribute to the Christmas
boxes Of the servants of his CUSTOM
ers. but the changed conditions have
brought about the elimination or TINS
rather expensive custom.
In some parts of England st. Ste
phen'S Day was observed by n prac-
tice of going a-Stephening." but this
ceremony. happily for the victims. is
now all but forgotten. The poor In
habitants of the parish made 1t a point
on this day to call at the rectory,
where the rector was expected to pro-
vide all bread, cheese ale they
could consume. This gentle custom
was usually productive of a drunken
orgy. for few of the men could resist
the temptation to drinking ale SO
freely provided. This custom was
finally abolished early in the nine
teenth century.
Another curious idea in connection
with st. stephens Day is hat the first
martyr is the special guardian of
horses. Owners OF horses In England
long made il a practice to subject
their animals to copious blood-letting
on this day. 1t was held that this
insured the animals against sickness
and disease during the twclve-month
following. This custom is referred to
in an old English poem:
Then followeth st. stephens Day
wherein doth every man
His horses jaunt and course abroad as
swiftly as he can,
Uuntil they doe EXTREMITY sweate and
then they let them bleed,
For this being done upon this day,
they say 10th do them good,
And keepes them from all maladies
and sickness through the ear
As If tina Stephen any time tooke
charge of horses heare."
