THE FOOD BANK ACCOUNT.

The Food Administration does not
want the country to go hungry at
any time. Moreover, il does not want
the country at any time to lack any
one of the necessary forms of food.
II wants to keep the American people
amply nourished no matter what the
duration or exigencies of the war
For this reason the Administration
wishes to establish bank account
of food stored for a rainy day. In
Germany the rainy days are every
day in the matter of food, and the
bank balance is already overdrawn.
This must not happen in America.
Therefore, although the wheat
crop bids fair to be the biggest in our
history, we will still need to go as
slow as possible in our use of wheat.
And for the next three months we are
asked to save particularly on beef.
Different food stuffs must be saved
at different seasons. Just now pork
is available in comfortable though not
lavish quantities, and we are asked to
eat pork rather than beef, Also, this
is the season for green vegetables
from the garden, and we are asked to
eat them in abundance. thus making it
easier for digestions to master the
substitute grains, and saving wheat
without discomfort.
Eating the other cereals instead of
wheat, eating pork and cottage cheese
and milk instead of beef. is like deny
ing oneself some little luxury to buy
Thrift Stamp. The money is saved
and will return at time when it will
be most acceptable Just so with the
conserved food BY being thrifty now,
in accordance with the requests of the
Food Administration, the day will
never come when we need to serimp
or go unfed.

WOMEN AND DEMOCRACY.

Events are stronger than opinions.
The pressure of events has changed
President Wilson from an unfriendly
attitude toward woman suffrage TO a
state Of tolerance. then sympathy, then
active help in State campaigns, and
now finally TO unqualified support for
national suffrage. If it were possible
TO discover and sound the average
American" II would probably be
found that his mind has changed in
about the same way.
There is little question among well
informed men that the nation is ready
for the final act OF Acknowledgement
II the Senate passes the suffrage
amendment to the constitution which
has already passed the House, it will
not take long TO obtain the requisite
ratification by three-fourths OF the
States. Some few States may hold out
az first, but they will soon yield to the
inevitable.
The war has changed everything.
or rather the war has FASTENED every
thing in the way of social and politi-
cal evolution. 1t has given the women
of the United States a chance to prove
their fitness for the franchise. They
have proved 1t beyond cavil, by pub
lie service and devotion for which
men cannot help paying them homage
It would be strange indeed if, after
all the sacrifices that women have
made and are making for the triumph
of democracy on a world scale, they
should be denied the equal rights with
out which real democracy, here or
anywhere. is impossible

Perhaps the most striking instance
on record in England of how laundry

the mutilated body Of woman was

He had, as he thought, obnterateo
every clew. He had persuaded the
woman to stay at Yarmouth under an
assumed name. He had also, by suspi-
cious pretenses, got her to hide her
identity in every possible way; ana
he had decoyed her to the beach at
dead of night and there strangled her
silently, swiftly, secretly-while pre-
tending to caress her. But he over
looked the existence of that one little
telltale laundry mark-which brought
him to the scaffold.

English War Gardens.

England supplemented her usual
food supply last year by 100000 back
yard gardens and "allotments
used ground belonging to commune
ties which is allotted to people who
wish to cultivate gardens. but have
no ground of their own. The little
plat (ten rods, they say. is about what
one man can handle in his spare time)
were applied for by the tens of thou
sands this spring, as everyone seems
anxious to have one. In fact, in one
small town, three over-Zealous gar
deners were arrested for blowing up
the playground of the public school
without having consulted the authori-
ties on the subject
The government is usually most en-
couraging to allotment holders. There
is big staff of experts who are sent
on application to any district to give
advice as to choice of ground, what
to plant, and the practical working of
the allotments 1t has also been made
possible for groups of allotment hold
ers to cooperate both in the buying of
seeds and implements, thereby MAX
ing it much less expensive, and. in
marketing their produce, which other
wise would be a difficult question.
Thousands of people work at these
plots and back yard gardens in their
odd moments. The English papers are
full of pictures of stout NJ. P.'s in their
war gardens, surrounded by their
families, all armed with hoes, and all
looking as if they enjoyed it i'm
mensely. Munition workers cultivate
the grounds adjoining the big NUM-
tion factories and the produce of their
gardens is used in the canteens. And
the children are the busiest of ALL In
the town of Legion, in Essex County,
the school children last year attended
to 1852 back yard gardens, 1000 lit
tie girls assisting in the work
The head master of a large boys
school has organized his boys for gar
dening. He writes: 81 have found
that my gardening squad is in great
request amongst all the neighbors who
have small holdings and allotments.
l have four classes of people to con-
slider in arranging for this little enter
prise: Cd The government, that 1
may not lose my grant; (2) the par
ents, who have paid for the boys
schooling; go the boy, that they may
not be overworked or catch cold; (4)
the allotment holder, that he may get
good value for the six cents an hour
which he pays.
Il usually send out squads of four
boys, ages IA to II, under command
of a fifth who has been taught the
use of the various gardening tools.
They work for two hours at a stretch
on three days in the week in school
time, and may also work on Satur-
day afternoons if they elect to do so.
Each boy receives six cents an hour,
the money being kept by the boy or
handed to Red Cross funds, just as he
likes"
