The fourth meal. whether an after

traitor for Montana, in n statement for
the Montana press. Much of Amer
ica's entertainment in the home has
been built anpund eating and the re-
freshments have been the delightful
part of most social events. This was
not food to meet the demands for
nourishment. but was offered for the
purpose of hospitality entertainment.
The present war crisis is' employing
millions Of fighting men. and these
men must be regularly fed II we expect
to bring victory to our side. The GEN.
trail powers expect to win this war
because Of the food shortage which
they believe is impending In the allied
countries. This hope is not entirely
without foundation. We believe that
we will win this war, but the greatest
care must be used with food. since
food will be the determining factor.
Unnecessary Meals Waste.
1T Is clear that unnecessary meals
work against the American arms in the
same nature as the submarines. 1t Is
simply useless waste Of food. The
American woman has ingenuity with
which to meet tho demands OF new
situation. Now IL il clearly up to the
American woman to bring this In
genuity to bear in planning her social
affairs. Social affairs should not be
discontinued. but the serving Of food.
aside from necessary meals, ought to
be discontinued.
This does not apply TO food demon
STATIONS for educational purposes.
When one woman has found n method
OF utilizing some substitute, she ought
to tell 1t to her ncighbors and friends.
A good way to tell about il is to DEM
onstrate it. yet the demonstration
should be Oh n small scale and without
any intention Of feeding the audience.
Social affairs are necessary to keep
American spirit in trim: but the
fourth meal is quite unnecessary and is
a danger to the American boys in
France who depend upon us for food to
win this war;"

very good women seem to feel some
how that life hasn't been quite fair to

1t Is a sort of revenge perhaps, for
the dizziness and disappointments of

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

There ars still some people in
this country that need to be re
minded that this is not only Presi-
dent Wilson s war, or the Demo
cratic party's war, but The Amer
lean Peoples War.
There are some who still need
to be reminded that there are
times when to play politics is
criminal, and this is one Of thase
times.
President Wilson is Command
er-in-Chief Of the armed forces Of
the Republic, not because he is
q Democratic, for a Republican
might have been in his place and
have had the same problems to
solve. He is the commander be-
cause, having been placed in the
presidential chair, he came under
the provision Of the Constitution
that places in the hands of that
official the leadership Of the ma
ton in times Of war. He is ask
ing your support not because you
are a Democrat, or a Republican,
or a member Of any other party,
but because you are an American
and your country is in danger
and in urgent need Of your ser
Vices He is asking your loyalty
because he is doing his utmost to
win YOUR battles for you, and
safeguard YOUR interests.
The Administration does not
claim that it has made no mis-
takes. It makes no claim to SUI

discharged with minimum of
mistakes. It admits the imita-
items Of human nature, but claims

LOAFING MUST BE DISCOUN.
TENANCED

In Maryland, West Virginia and
New Jersey legislatures laws
have been passed making it a
crime for anyone to spend his
time in idleness, and a similar
bill has been introduced in New
York, applying to males between
the ages Of eighteen and fifty, and
makes no distinction between the
millionaires idlers and the hobo.
To show how widespread is the
feeling that all men should work
during these trying times it is on
1y necessary to mention that
Georgia, Minnesota and Ohio are
all out after the idler and the
leaders make no bones Of calling
upon the people in their respec-
tive states to frown upon idlers of
every class, and furthermore sug-
gest a country wide aggitation to
compel all men to prove them
selves workers, at least during
the period Of the war.
